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. Should the Managing Owner make a determination that Series E’s aggregate net assets in relation to its operating expenses make it unreasonable or imprudent to continue the business of Series E, or, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, if the aggregate Net Asset Value of Series E as of the close of business on any business day declines below $10 million, the Managing Owner may dissolve Series E.

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 September 30, 2009, the condensed statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 (“Third Quarter 2009”), the period June 28, 2008 to September 26, 2008 (“Third Quarter 2008”), the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (“Year-To-Date 2009”) and the period January 1, 2008 to September 26, 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 September 30, 2009 and the results of its operations for the Third Quarter 2009, Third 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 (“SEC”) 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 (“U.S. GAAP”), 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)

 

Series E accounts for financial assets and liabilities using 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).

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 September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

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

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance clarifying the application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The additional guidance provides 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. The guidance was 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. Series E adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2009. As required, Series E also adopted guidance relating to recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of these pronouncements did not have an impact on Series E’s financial statements.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance which established among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Series E adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2009. The following table summarizes quantitative information required by the guidance.

The fair value of Series E’s derivatives by instrument type, as well as the location of those instruments on the condensed statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2009 are included in the condensed schedule of investments, all of which are deemed derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

The trading revenue of Series E’s derivatives by instrument type, as well as the location of those gains and losses on the condensed statements of operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

Effective for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, Series E adopted ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” 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. ASC Topic 855 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. The adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not have a material 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 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.

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 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.

Effective July 1, 2009, Series E adopted ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. ASC Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification did not change U.S. GAAP but reorganizes the existing literature into Topics. References for FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

On September 30, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent) (“ASU 2009-12”). ASU 2009-12 provides guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments, and amends ASC Topic 820 to offer investors a practical means for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share and require certain disclosures. ASU 2009-12 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2009, and early adoption is permitted. Preferred, as Managing Owner of Series E, is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on Series E’s financial statements.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, restricted cash totaled $6,669,126 and $616,333, respectively. Series E receives interest on all cash balances held by its bank, 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 Third Quarter 2009, Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008. Incentive fees of $31 were earned during Year-To-Date 2009.

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 $7,934 and $40,042 respectively, exceeded such limitations during the Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009. General and administrative expenses did not exceed such limitations during the Third Quarter 2008 and were approximately $13,000 during Year-To-Date 2008. Additionally, approximately $200 of previously borne expenses by Preferred was refunded to the Managing Owner for the Third Quarter 2008. Because general and administrative expenses exceeded such limitations for the Third Quarter 2009, 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 Third Quarter 2009, 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:

 

     Third Quarter    Year-To-Date  
     2009     2008    2009     2008

Expenses payable to the Managing Owner and its affiliates (which are included in commissions, administrative services and other transaction fees payable and accrued expenses payable on the condensed statements of financial condition) as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $36,650 and $129,199, respectively.

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, forward and option 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.

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.

Note 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

 

Credit Risk (Continued)

 

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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, such segregated assets totaled $9,860,408 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 $83,862 and $(56,053), at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

As of September 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 September 30, 2009 (“Third 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.

Table of Contents

Competition

The Managing Owner and its affiliates have formed, and may continue to form, various entities to engage in the speculative trading of futures, forward and option 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 (“US”) or internationally recognized futures exchange is a critical accounting policy. The market values of futures, forward and option (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.

Of the Registrant’s unrealized gains at September 30, 2009, $214,229 or 59.27% of Registrant’s investments are classified as Level 1 and $147,192 or 40.73% as Level 2. Of the Registrant’s 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.

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance clarifying the application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The additional guidance provides for how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. The guidance was 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 the guidance effective January 1, 2009. As required, the Registrant also adopted guidance relating to recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of these pronouncements did not have an impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance which established among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Registrant’s adoption of the guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Registrant’s financial statements, other than enhanced disclosures as discussed under Note 2.

Effective for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, the Registrant adopted ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” 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. ASC Topic 855 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. The adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not have a material impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Registrant adopted ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” ASC Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification did not change U.S. GAAP but reorganizes the existing literature into Topics. References for FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

On September 30, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent) (“ASU 2009-12”). ASU 2009-12 provides guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments, and amends ASC Topic 820 to offer investors a practical means for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share and require certain disclosures. ASU 2009-12 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2009, and early adoption is permitted. The Managing Owner is evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-12 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 Third Quarter 2009, the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (“Year-To-Date 2009”), the period June 28, 2008 to September 26, 2008 (“Third Quarter 2008”) and the period January 1, 2008 to September 26, 2008 (“Year-To-Date 2008”) there were no subscriptions of Limited Interests 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 Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were $686,040 and $3,794,734, respectively. Redemptions of Limited Interests for Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were $266,569 and $2,224,993, respectively. Redemptions of General Interests for Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were $0 and $197,480, respectively. Redemptions of General Interests for Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were $3,425 and $25,451, 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, forward and option 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, forward and option 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 Third Quarter 2009 and Third Quarter 2008:

Third Quarter 2009

The National Bureau of Economic Research is likely mark the third quarter of 2009 as the beginning of the recovery in the US economy. Gross Domestic Product data for the quarter will not be published until later in October, but based on other data released to date, it is clear that economic growth picked up nicely in the quarter. The stimulus packages made their full impact during the quarter and the cash-for-clunkers program gave a further boost to the economy. More importantly, the US housing market, which had been at the epicenter of the current downturn, showed tentative signs of building on the modest gains of the previous quarter, aided by the $8,000 first time homebuyer credit. The latest Case-Shiller Housing Index indicated that home prices and existing and new home sales both recorded decent gains during the quarter. However, the labor market remained in the doldrums. While the pace of job losses slowed, they continued at levels that almost matched the peak of the previous recession and the unemployment rate marched relentlessly up to 9.8%. The current downturn now ranks as the worst among all postwar recessions in terms of percentage job losses.

Despite the indications of economic recovery and the growing risk appetite, US Treasury yields rallied during the quarter on the back of weak and falling inflation figures, robust demand at auctions, and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) quantitative easing program. The 10-year yield fell to end the quarter at 3.31%. The Fed kept rates unchanged through the quarter. However, at its September meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee, while reiterating its support for near zero rate policy, offered a slightly hawkish nuance, reflecting the growing discomfort among the “hawks” at the Fed. The European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan kept key rates unchanged through the quarter as well. As in the US, market participants feel that the worst appears to be over across the globe.

The US dollar experienced another losing quarter, with the Dollar Index declining approximately 4%. The increased appetite for risk and the growing global discomfort with the massive monetary and fiscal policy stimuli weighed on the dollar. The British pound was the only major currency to lose ground to the US dollar during the quarter, again reflecting the global unease with massive fiscal stimulus and quantitative easing. The euro finished the third quarter up approximately 4% on the dollar. More surprising was the near 7% gain in the Japanese yen, in a quarter in which risk assets surged and Japan’s economy remained weak in comparison to its developed market peers.

Coming on the heels of what was already the best quarter in over 10 years for the S&P 500, it was remarkable that the third quarter gain was as strong as the second quarter gain. In fact, the second and third quarter 2009 combined percentage change in the S&P 500 was the largest two quarter upswing since 1975 and the second largest in the entire postwar era. Financials led the way, but the rally was broad based. The gains in the other US indices were equally impressive, with the NASDAQ recording its largest two-quarter rise since the peak of the Dotcom Bubble in 2000. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and NASDAQ rose approximately 15%, 15% and 16%, respectively, for the quarter. The third quarter was even better for Europe, where the gains exceeded those in the previous quarter. The STOXX 600, a broad measure of European equities, rose approximately 18% during the quarter. The CAC, FTSE 100, and DAX closed the quarter with near 20% gains. Asian markets rose as well, but the performance was more mixed. While the Korean Kospi jumped 20% and the Hang Seng registered a solid 14% gain, the Nikkei only managed a modest 2% rise. The Australian All Ordinaries Index posted a 20% increase.

Crude oil had a basically flat quarter, ending the period up approximately 1%. Rising economic optimism and dollar weakness were offset by reports of plentiful crude inventory and continued soft demand. Natural gas surged approximately 26%, but the bottom line masks the drama during the quarter. Natural gas suffered an 18% decline in August and fell to a seven-year low in early September. However, it recovered sharply in September on the back of stronger economic data, lower-than-expected inventory reports, expectations of lower winter temperatures, and short covering. Heating oil ended the quarter with an approximate 5% gain. Reformulated gasoline had a weak quarter, declining approximately 9%, as demand recovery remained elusive.

As the economic recovery gained ground in the third quarter, incipient fears of soaring inflation down the road spurred the demand for gold even as flight-to-safety demand dwindled during the third quarter. The yellow metal posted an approximate 9% gain in the third quarter. Also, reserve diversification by China and others may well be supporting gold. Silver surged up approximately 22% with the twin engines of investment demand and industrial demand firing. Base metals witnessed overall gains across the board in the quarter as global industrial production, especially auto production, turned up smartly. Copper and zinc finished up the quarter with both realizing overall gains greater than 20%.

Pork bellies, which had suffered a collapse in the second quarter following the ban on US pork products emanating from H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) fears, recovered sharply in the third quarter, registering an approximate 50% increase as some countries lifted the ban. Cotton prices continued their upward march during the quarter, rising approximately 15%. Wheat and soybeans fell sharply as initial fears of bad weather did not pan out and the USDA planting reports indicated solid harvests. Soybeans, wheat and corn posted losses of 24%, 10%, and 1%, respectively. Sugar continued its parabolic rise in the third quarter, skyrocketing approximately 43% following a 32% surge in the second quarter. The worst drought in more than two decades in India, the world’s largest consumer of sugar and the biggest swing factor in global markets, propelled sugar to its highest level since 1981. Hopes of stronger consumer spending fueled by the global economic recovery lifted cocoa prices by over 25% in the quarter. Coffee also registered a solid quarter, gaining approximately 7%.

Third Quarter 2008

Clearly, the financial crisis gripping the nation is resonating throughout all corners of the economy and the effects will be felt for some time to come. Consumers have already cut back spending dramatically but more retrenchment can be expected in response to worsening job and income prospects as well as the growing wealth destruction that has taken place in recent months. There is no longer any doubt that the economy is mired in a recession; the only question is how deep and long it will be. Economists are crossing their fingers that the downturn will be no worse than the last two mild recessions in 1990-91 and 2001. However, many believe that conditions will be at least as bad as they were during the worst post-war recessions, which occurred in 1980-81 and 1973-74. The credit crisis got worse with each passing day, despite huge Federal Reserve liquidity additions, a $700 billion bailout package and numerous other measures. The “broker dealer,” as once known, basically ceased to exist as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and others changed structure to essentially become “banks”. The economic data flow in the US can only be described as feeble and promises to get even weaker. In the US, housing, employment and manufacturing data were all anemic throughout the third quarter of 2008 with many indications of worse to come.

A strengthening US dollar throughout the quarter added to demand for US Treasuries as well as flight-to-safety support. After seeing their largest monthly yield declines since February in the month of August, Treasury yields saw further erosion in September. The benchmark 10-Year Note saw its yield fall approximately 20 basis points during the quarter and the 2-Year yield dipped by roughly 70 basis points as the yield curve experienced a severe steepening. Central banks kept rates unchanged throughout the third quarter but in early October they collaboratively cut key rates in response to the global credit crisis. During the quarter, the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, European Central Bank and others injected huge amounts of liquidity into the markets.

Currencies: The Dollar Index, which measures the US unit against a basket of other currencies, ended the quarter up overall and up 3.7% for the year. Among the majors, the euro and pound were particularly weak in September as the UK and the Eurozone experienced severe economic problems to go along with a burgeoning credit crisis. The British pound slipped to a 2-year low against the US dollar as the UK suffered recessionary-like conditions, including a 12.4% year-to-date drop in housing prices. The euro scored an all-time high in July, but from the peak it was all downhill as the euro slumped badly in August and September to close out the quarter near $1.41. The yen suffered far less fallout from the global credit crisis. It showed particular strength against both the euro and pound while gaining modestly to the dollar. The Australian dollar was pressured versus the yen as carry trades were unwound. The New Zealand dollar experienced a similar fate.

Energies: Crude posted steep losses in September down more than 13% within the Dow Jones AIG Index and over 31% for the quarter. Crude was pummeled by intense selling, the ongoing feature throughout the period. In addition, a firming US dollar, a significant slowing in global demand and above-quota OPEC output weighed on sentiment, which more than offset the geopolitical events surrounding Iran, Nigeria, Russia, Venezuela and the Middle East. Combined gasoline, heating oil and jet fuel demand is down more than 7% compared to last September. Natural gas followed suit and ended the quarter much lower.

Agriculturals: With steady declines in both price and open interest during the month of September, as well as all of the third quarter, the agricultural futures markets were prime examples of the widespread deleveraging seen across all markets. The deterioration in values came despite occasional weather concerns, which typically are the impetus

for late summer rallies. For the quarter, corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton saw high-to-low declines in value from 37% to 30%. Corn and wheat lost roughly $3.00 per bushel each and soybeans lost over $6.00. Cotton also dropped significantly. The longer-term implications of the recent price plunge will be played out first in farmers’ springtime planting decisions. In addition to the normal, net profit calculations, banking considerations will play a major role in next season’s production potential. Understandably, the ongoing tight credit markets will cause bankers to shy away from lending money to farmers wishing to grow high-input-cost crops, regardless of profit potential.

Indices: Global equities suffered from a total lack of confidence as related to the credit crisis, which got worse instead of better throughout the quarter, despite herculean efforts from central banks and various government agencies. US stocks were hit with massive fund liquidations, partially due to margin needs but also due to large redemption levels that picked up speed with each passing session. After managing very modest gains in August, despite a sharp month-end slide, all the major US indices were lower in September. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and NASDAQ fell over 4%, 9% and 9% respectively for the quarter. Financial stocks, including banks, brokers and insurance companies were particularly weak, as were retail issues and energy stocks. The markets failed to react to the much-debated and delayed $700 billion Treasury “rescue” plan. US stocks were clearly hurt by the credit crisis in Europe.

Europe saw similar performance as their financial crisis was equally, if not more, dire than that in the US. The UK in particular has seen rigorous credit issues as the DJ Stoxx 600 lost approximately 12% during the third quarter due to staggering financial sector events. The German DAX, the French CAC and London’s FTSE all ended the quarter with losses. The Russian stock market was particularly weak, forcing trading halts on numerous occasions.

Asia posted the weakest equity performance of the three major regions during the quarter and it has subsequently experienced massive liquidation from international funds despite the fact that Japan and the region in general have less exposure to the global credit crisis. The Nikkei lost nearly 2,000 points and Korea’s Kospi fell over 14% throughout the period. Hong Kong was extremely weak and Shanghai extended a yearlong slide. Australian equities could not ward off the credit crisis and ended the quarter lower.

Metals: After a brief run in mid-July and a sell-off through the second week in of September, late quarter gains were not enough to offset losses as gold finished down over 5% for the period. Silver was down a hefty 29% for the third quarter. Base metals were sold heavily across the markets in September, to an even greater degree than in July and August, and all metals within the GSCI Commodity Index finished down for the quarter. Increasing exchange warehouse inventories as well as slowing global demand patterns weighted on metals. A firmer US dollar did not help the cause, neither did the general outflow of capital from commodities.

Softs and Livestock: Individual soft commodity fundamentals were similarly overwhelmed by capital outflows and fund liquidation pressures in September. Cocoa had managed gains in August but this was not the case in September. Sugar extended its August losses into September. Supplies hold ample and Brazilian sugar exports have accelerated. Coffee lost nearly 17% for the quarter.

Live hogs fell almost 4.5% and cattle 4.9%. Hogs were again hurt by increased slaughter levels and sluggish demand. Both markets saw slaughter increases related to higher feed costs and, like many agricultural commodities, were pressured by financing difficulties for farmers.

income during Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 was approximately $1,000 and $8,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $76,000 and $226,000, respectively, as compared to Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above and declining interest rates. Interest income during Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 was approximately $77,000 and $234,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $155,000 and $522,000, respectively, as compared to Third 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 Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $288,000 and $932,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $99,000 and $109,000, respectively, as compared to Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above. Administrative services and other transaction fees during the Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $387,000 and $1,041,000, respectively, an increase of approximately $50,000 as compared to Third Quarter 2007, primarily due to positive trading performance and a decrease of approximately $49,000 as compared to 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 Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $76,000 and $261,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $17,000 and $23,000, respectively, as compared to Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008, primarily due to reduced average net asset levels discussed above. Management fees during Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $93,000 and $284,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $7,000 and $31,000, respectively, as compared to Third 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 Third Quarter 2009, Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008. Incentive fees of $31 were earned during Year-To-Date 2009.

General and administrative expenses during Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009 were approximately $46,000 and $179,000, respectively. General and administrative expenses during Third Quarter 2008 and Year-To-Date 2008 were approximately $59,000 and $174,000, 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 $8,000 and $40,000, respectively, during the Third Quarter 2009 and Year-To-Date 2009. General and administrative expenses did not exceed such limitations during the Third Quarter 2008 and were approximately $13,000 during Year-To-Date 2008. Additionally, approximately $200 of previously borne expenses by Preferred was refunded to the Managing Owner for the Third Quarter 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of September 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.
