PART I
Item 1. Business.
     (a) General Development of Business. Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was organized on February 23, 1995 under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership commenced trading operations on July 1, 1995. The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
     During the initial offering period (April 17, 1995 to July 1, 1995), the Partnership sold 5,111 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The Partnership privately and continuously offers Redeemable Units in the Partnership to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership. Sales and redemptions of Redeemable Units and General Partner contributions and redemptions for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are reported in the Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital on page F-10 under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
     Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The Partnership’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (“CGMHI”), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc (“Citigroup”).
     On January 13, 2009, Citigroup Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell CGM’s division, Smith Barney, which includes Smith Barney in the U.S., Smith Barney in Australia and Quilter in the U.K., to a joint venture to be formed with Morgan Stanley. The joint venture, to be called Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will combine the sold businesses with Morgan Stanley’s Global Wealth Management Group. Upon closing, Morgan Stanley will own 51% and Citigroup will own 49% of the joint venture. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup will have various purchase and sale rights for the joint venture, but Citigroup is expected to retain the full amount of its stake at least through year three and to continue to own a significant stake in the joint venture at least through year five. The transaction, which is subject to and contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close the third quarter of 2009.
     The Partnership’s trading of futures, forwards and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America and foreign commodity exchanges. It engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.
     The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first of the following to occur: December 31, 2015; the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit falls below $400 as of the close of any business day; a decline in net assets after trading commences to less than $1,000,000; or under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
     The General Partner has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Chesapeake Capital Corporation (“Chesapeake” or the “Advisor”) who will make all commodity trading decisions for the Partnership. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM. The Advisor is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership.
     Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor a monthly management fee equal to  1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisor. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating management fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees. From September 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, the Advisor waived the monthly management fee it receives from the Partnership. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
     In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 23% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements, earned by each Advisor for the Partnership. The Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until the Advisor recovers the net loss incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.
     The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM which provides that the Partnership will pay CGM a monthly brokerage commission equal to 6.5% per year of month-end Net Assets, in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating commissions are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of accrued expenses and redemptions payable. CGM also pays a portion of its brokerage fees to its financial consultants who have sold Redeemable Units of the Partnership and who are registered

as associated persons with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). The Partnership pays for National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees, exchange fees, clearing fees, give-up fees, user fees and floor brokerage fees (collectively the “clearing fees”). In addition, CGM pays the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
     (b) Financial information about industry segments. The Partnership’s business consists of only one segment, speculative trading of commodity interests. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s net income (loss) from operations for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is set forth under “Item 6. Selected Financial Data.” The Partnership’s Capital as of December 31, 2008 was $65,791,057.
     (c) Narrative description of business.
          See Paragraphs (a) and (b) above.
          (i) through (xii) — Not applicable.
          (xiii) — The Partnership has no employees.
     (d) Financial Information About Geographic Areas. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services or own any long lived assets, and therefore this item is not applicable.
     (e) Available Information. The Partnership does not have an Internet address. The Partnership will provide paper copies of its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports free of charge upon request.
     (f) Reports to Security Holders. Not applicable.
     (g) Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Foreign Persons. Not applicable.
     (h)  Smaller Reporting Companies. Not applicable.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     As a result of leverage, small changes in the price of the Partnership’s positions may result in major losses.
     The trading of commodity interests is speculative, volatile and involves a high degree of leverage. A small change in the market price of a commodity interest contract can produce major losses for the Partnership.
     An investor may lose all of their investment.
     Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, an investor could lose all of their investment in the Partnership.
     The Partnership will pay substantial fees and expenses regardless of profitability.
     Regardless of its trading performance, the Partnership will incur fees and expenses, including brokerage and management fees. Fees will be paid to the Advisor even if the Partnership experiences a net loss for the full year.
     An investor’s ability to redeem or transfer units is limited.
     An investor’s ability to redeem units is limited and no market exists for the units.

Table of Contents

     Conflicts of interest exist.
     The Partnership is subject to numerous conflicts of interest including those that arise from the facts that:
     1. The General Partner and commodity broker are affiliates;
   2.   The Advisor, the commodity broker and their principals and affiliates may trade in commodity interests for their own accounts; and
   3.   Smith Barney financial advisors will receive ongoing compensation for providing services to an investor’s account.
     Investing in units might not provide the desired diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio.
     The Partnership will not provide any benefit of diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio unless it is profitable and produces returns that are independent from stock and bond market returns.
     Past performance is no assurance of future results.
     The Advisor’s trading strategies may not perform as they have performed in the past. The Advisor has from time to time incurred substantial losses in trading on behalf of clients.
     An investor’s tax liability may exceed cash distributions.
     Investors are taxed on their share of the Partnership’s income, even though the Partnership does not intend to make any distributions.
     New regulation may impact the Partnership’s trading.
     In June 2008, several bills were proposed in the U.S. Congress in response to record energy and agricultural prices. Some of the pending legislation, if enacted, could limit trading by speculators in futures markets. Other potentially adverse regulatory initiatives could develop suddenly and without notice. At this time management is unable to determine the potential impact on the Partnership.
Item 2. Properties.
     The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The General Partner operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, Citigroup.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
     This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which CGMHI or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.
     CGM is a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388 Greenwich St., New York, New York 10013. CGM is registered as a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (“FCM’’), and provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional and retail participants in the futures markets. CGM and its affiliates also provide investment banking and other financial services for clients worldwide.
     There have been no material administrative, civil or criminal actions within the past five years against Citigroup Global Markets (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney) or any of its individual principals and no such actions are currently pending, except as follows.
Regulatory Matters
     Both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) have advised Citigroup Global Markets that they were or are reviewing transactions in which Ameritech Pension Trust purchased from Citigroup Global Markets and certain affiliates approximately $20.9 million in participations in a portfolio of motels owned by Motels of America, Inc. and Best Inns, Inc. With respect to the IRS review, Citigroup Global Markets and certain affiliated entities have consented to extensions of time for the assessment of excise taxes that may be claimed to be due with respect to the transactions for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989.
IPO Civil Litigation
     In April 2002, consolidated amended complaints were filed against Citigroup Global Markets and other investment banks named in numerous alleged class actions filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations of certain federal securities laws (including Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to the allocation of shares for certain initial public offerings and related aftermarket transactions and damage to investors caused by allegedly biased research analyst reports. On February 19, 2003, the court issued an opinion denying defendants’ motion to dismiss.
     On October 13, 2004, the court granted in part the motion to certify class actions for six focus cases in the securities litigation. Citigroup Global Markets is not a defendant in any of the six focus cases.
     On June 30, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered an order in In Re: Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation agreeing to review the district court’s order granting plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit reversed the district court’s class certification order. The plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing in January 2007. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit panel that reversed the district court’s class certification decision denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing, and on May 18, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing en banc. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases as well as amended master allegations for all cases in the coordinated proceedings. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify new classes in the six focus cases. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended pleadings in November 2007 and filed an opposition to the new motion for class certification in December 2007.

Enron-Related Civil Actions
     Citigroup Global Markets, Citigroup and various other Citigroup-related entities have been named as defendants in over 20 civil lawsuits pending in state and federal courts throughout the United States, alleging claims against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets based on their dealings with Enron. The majority of these cases have been brought by purchasers and sellers of Enron equity and debt securities and Enron-linked securities. Many of the plaintiffs in these actions are large, institutional investors that had substantial Enron and Enron-linked holdings. The lawsuits collectively allege as against Citigroup and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries, among other things, federal securities fraud, state law claims of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and related claims. In most of these lawsuits, Citigroup is named as a co-defendant along with other investment banks alleged to have had dealings with Enron. The majority of cases pending in the federal courts have been, or are in the process of being, consolidated before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. In addition, in five adversary proceedings in the Enron Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Enron and, in one case, its co-debtor affiliates and subsidiaries, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Enron Corp., et al., have named Citigroup and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries as defendants.
     In September 2003, Citigroup Global Markets (and Citigroup and various Citigroup-affiliates) were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding, Enron v. Citigroup, et al. (In re Enron Corp., et al.), filed by Enron in its chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings against entities that purchased Enron bankruptcy claims from Citigroup, seeking to disallow or to subordinate those claims. The case was scheduled for trial beginning April 28, 2008. Additionally, in November 2003, Enron filed an additional adversary action against Citigroup Global Markets (and Citibank) seeking to recover fees paid to Citigroup Global Markets in connection with the proposed Enron-Dynegy merger. Discovery is proceeding in that action.
     A Citigroup affiliate, along with other defendants, settled all claims against it in In Re: NewPower Holdings Securities Litigation, a class action brought on behalf of certain investors in NewPower securities. Citigroup reached this settlement agreement without admitting any wrongdoing. On September 13, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York preliminarily approved the settlement.
     In April 2005, Citigroup, along with other financial institution defendants, reached an agreement-in-principle to settle four state-court actions brought by various investment funds, which were not previously consolidated or coordinated with other actions. The four cases are OCM Opportunities Fund III, L.P., et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al.; Pacific Investment Management Co. LLC, et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al.; AUSA Life Insurance v. Citigroup Inc., et al. and Principal Global Investors v. Citigroup Inc., et al. The amounts to be paid in settlement of these actions are covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On June 3, 2005, Citigroup Global Markets (along with Citigroup) and various financial institution defendants reached an agreement in principle to settle a state court action (subsequently consolidated with Newby), Retirement Systems of Alabama v. Merrill Lynch, et al., brought by an Alabama public corporation comprising various state employee pension funds that had purchased Enron securities from (among others) Citigroup Global Markets. The district court approved the settlement on July 5, 2005. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On June 13, 2005, Citigroup announced a settlement of the Enron class action litigation (Newby, et al. v. Enron Corp., et al.) currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. This settlement resolved all claims against Citigroup brought on behalf of the class of purchasers of publicly traded equity and debt securities issued by Enron and Enron-related entities between September 9, 1997 and December 2, 2001. The settlement, which involves a pre-tax

payment of $2.0 billion to the settlement class, was fully covered by Citigroup’s existing litigation reserves. It has been approved by The Board of Regents of the University of California (the lead plaintiff) and the Citigroup Board. On May 24, 2006, the district court in Texas gave final approval to Citigroup’s settlement of the securities class action.
     On January 2, 2007, the court entered final judgment terminating Ravenswood I, L.L.C., et al. v. Citigroup, Inc., et al. in light of a settlement including Citigroup Global Markets. The action, asserting state statutory and common law claims, had been filed on behalf of successors in interest to certain Enron securities owned by Prudential, and subsequently coordinated with Newby. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On January 18, 2007, the court dismissed American National Insurance Co., et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al. in light of a settlement including Citigroup Global Markets.

The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On January 23, 2007, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend the complaint in Silvercreek Management Inc. v. Salomon Smith Barney, Inc., a federal securities law and fraud action against Citigroup Global Markets (and other defendants) on behalf of several funds that allegedly sustained losses arising out of their investments in Enron securities. The action is currently pending.
     On January 25, 2007, the court entered final judgment terminating Public Employees Retirement Systems of Ohio v. Fastow, et al. in light of a settlement between plaintiffs and certain financial institution defendants (including Citigroup Global Markets). The action, asserting state securities and common law fraud claims, had been filed in Ohio state court on behalf of four Ohio pension funds that purchased Enron securities, and was subsequently coordinated with Newby. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On August 15, 2007, Citigroup Global Markets (along with other Citigroup entities and various other financial institutions) filed motions to dismiss Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority v. Lay, et al., an action sounding in fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, and arising out of an Enron transaction with a Connecticut state agency. The case had been coordinated with Newby until the court’s decision on class certification. Plaintiff filed its opposition on November 9, 2007 and Citigroup partially joined a reply submitted by other financial institutions on January 30, 2008. This action was settled on February 14, 2008. The amount paid to settle this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On December 27, 2007, plaintiff moved for leave to amend its complaint in Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, Washington v. Citigroup, et al. The case, originally filed in Washington federal court in 2004, arises out of alleged losses caused by Enron’s electricity overcharges to a public utility. It alleges three causes of action against Citigroup Global Markets (along with various Citigroup entities and other financial institutions). The action had been coordinated with Newby until the court’s decision on class certification. Citigroup Global Markets and other defendants filed an opposition on January 28, 2008.
     On January 28, 2008, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on plaintiffs’ appeal against the court’s dismissal of various third-party petitions filed by certain Enron outside directors and Arthur Andersen against Citigroup Global Markets (and various other financial institution defendants). The petitions, collectively referred to as the Fleming Cases, assert fraud and negligence claims; they were filed in Texas state court and subsequently coordinated with Newby.

     Citigroup Global Markets (along with Citigroup, Citibank, N.A., and various J.P. Morgan Chase-entities) has been named in multiple actions brought by certain bank participants in, as well as “vulture funds” who purchased certain banks’ interests in, two revolving Enron credit facilities and a syndicated letter of credit facility. The cases, Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., et al., and DK Acquisition, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase, et al., had been coordinated with Newby until the court’s decision on class certification. The actions were conditionally transferred to the Southern District of New York on December 10, 2007. Defendants filed partial summary judgment motions in both cases on December 6, 2007. A third action, Bayerische Landesbank, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, et al., brought by certain bank participants in the Enron facilities and subsequently coordinated with Newby, was settled on July 31, 2007, and the district court approved the settlement on August 22, 2007. The amount paid in settlement was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On April 4, 2008, Citigroup announced an agreement to settle actions filed by Enron in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings seeking to recover payments to Citigroup as alleged preferences or fraudulent conveyances, to disallow or equitably subordinate claims of Citigroup and Citigroup transferees on the basis of alleged fraud, and to recover damages from Citigroup for allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty. Under the terms of the settlement agreement (which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on April 24, 2008), Citigroup will make a pre-tax payment of $1.66 billion to Enron and will waive certain claims in the Enron bankruptcy proceeding. Enron will also allow specified Citigroup-related claims in the bankruptcy proceeding, including all of the bankruptcy claims of parties holding approximately $2.4 billion of Enron credit-linked notes (“CLNs’’) and will release all claims against Citigroup. Citigroup reached a separate settlement agreement resolving all disputes with the holders of the CLNs, including a suit against Citigroup pending in the Federal District Court in Houston. The amounts of both settlements were fully covered by Citigroup’s existing litigation reserves.
     On September 29, 2006, Citigroup Global Markets (along with Citigroup and a third-party defendant) filed a partial motion to dismiss in Vanguard Balanced Index Fund, et al. v. Citigroup, et al. The action was filed in Pennsylvania state court in 2003 by certain investment funds, and asserts claims under state securities and common law, arising out of plaintiffs’ purchase of certain Enron-related securities. Vanguard filed opposition papers on November 14, 2006, and the defendants filed their reply on December 1, 2006. On January 21, 2009, the parties settled. The case had been coordinated with Newby (discussed above) until it was remanded to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in June 2008. Pursuant to the settlement, the case was voluntarily dismissed on February 4, 2009.
     Additional actions remain pending against Citigroup and its affiliates and JP Morgan Chase, as co-agents on certain Enron revolving credit facilities. The plaintiffs are commercial banks that participated in the facilities and purchasers of the resulting Enron bank debt on the secondary market. Plaintiffs allege that defendants aided and abetted Enron’s fraud, and the breaches of fiduciary duty of Enron’s officers, by engaging in transactions that they knew Enron was not properly reporting in its financial statements, and that defendants knew that Enron was in default under various provisions of its credit agreements and fraudulently failed to advise the syndicate members. These cases have been consolidated and are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Dynegy Inc.
     On June 6, 2003, the complaint in a pre-existing alleged class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (In Re: Dynegy Inc. Securities Litigation) brought by purchasers of publicly traded debt and equity securities of Dynegy Inc. was amended to add Citigroup, Citibank and Citigroup Global Markets as defendants. The plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of

7


Table of Contents

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the Citigroup defendants. The Citigroup defendants filed a motion to dismiss in March 2004, which motion was granted by the district court in October 2004. The court denied lead plaintiff’s request for leave to appeal.
     The court had also previously denied lead plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend. No appeal was timely filed. On April 15, 2005, as part of a global settlement involving all defendants, Citigroup entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle this case. The amount to be paid in settlement was covered by existing litigation reserves.
WorldCom-Related Litigation
     Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants — along with twenty-two other investment banks, certain current and former WorldCom officers and directors, and WorldCom’s former auditors — in a consolidated class action brought on behalf of individuals and entities who purchased or acquired publicly traded securities of WorldCom between April 29, 1999 and June 25, 2002 in In Re: WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The class action complaint asserts claims against Citigroup Global Markets under (i) Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with certain bond offerings in which it served as underwriter, and (ii) Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b), alleging that it participated in the preparation and/or issuance of misleading WorldCom registration statements and disseminated misleading research reports concerning WorldCom stock. In 2003, the district court denied Citigroup Global Markets’ motion to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint and granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.
     Pursuant to an order entered May 28, 2003, the district court consolidated approximately seventy-eight individual actions with the class action for pretrial proceedings. The claims asserted in these individual actions are substantially similar to the claims alleged in the class action and assert state and federal securities law claims based on Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports concerning WorldCom and/or Citigroup Global Markets’ role as an underwriter in WorldCom offerings. Plaintiffs in certain of these actions filed motions to remove their cases to state court. The district court denied these motions and its rulings were upheld on appeal.
     Numerous other actions asserting claims against Citigroup Global Markets in connection with its research reports about WorldCom and/or its role as an investment banker for WorldCom are pending in other federal and state courts around the country. These actions have been remanded to various state courts, are pending in other federal courts, or have been conditionally transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be consolidated with the class action. As of December 31, 2007, one WorldCom individual action remained pending, in Texas state court. The balance of the individual actions have been settled or dismissed by court order. The settlements of those actions are covered by existing litigation reserves. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal of one of those actions. In addition to the court suits, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its WorldCom research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These actions assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the class action.
     On May 10, 2004, Citigroup announced that it had agreed to pay $2.58 billion to settle the WorldCom class action suits. A fairness hearing was held on November 5, 2004 in connection with the proposed class settlement between plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants in In Re: WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted approval of the proposed settlement on November 10, 2004. The settlement became final in March 2006 and settlement funds have been released to the plaintiffs.

Global Crossing
     On or about January 28, 2003, the lead plaintiff in a consolidated alleged class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (In Re: Global Crossing, Ltd. Securities Litigation) filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, which names as defendants, among others, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets, Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and certain executive officers and current and former employees. The alleged class action complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws alleging that the defendants issued research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and failed to disclose conflicts of interest with Global Crossing in connection with published investment research. On March 22, 2004, the lead plaintiff amended its consolidated complaint to add claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Asia Global Crossing. The added claims assert causes of action under the federal securities laws and common law in connection with Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports about Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing and for Citigroup Global Markets’ roles as an investment banker for Global Crossing and as an underwriter in the Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing offerings. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss all of the claims against them on July 2, 2004. In March 2005, the plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants reached a settlement of all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants, including both research and underwriting claims, and including claims concerning losses in both Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, for a total of $75 million. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on March 8, 2005 and on July 6, 2005, granted final approval and rejected all objections to the settlement.
     In addition, on or about January 27, 2004, the Global Crossing Estate Representative filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (i) an adversary proceeding asserting claims against, among others, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees, asserting claims under federal bankruptcy law and common law in connection with Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports about Global Crossing and for its role as an underwriter in Global Crossing offerings, and (ii) an adversary proceeding against Citigroup and several other financial institutions seeking to rescind the payment of a $1 billion loan made to a subsidiary of Global Crossing. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss the former action on June 26, 2004 and settled it on September 12, 2005. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss the latter action on May 28, 2004, which motion is still pending. On August 20, 2008, plaintiff filed an amended complaint that narrowed the pending claims. The Citigroup-related defendants have yet to respond to the amended complaint.
     In addition, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its Global Crossing research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These arbitration proceedings assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the alleged class action.
Adelphia Communications Corporation
     On July 6, 2003, an adversary proceeding was filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on behalf of Adelphia Communications Corporation against certain lenders and investment banks, including Citigroup Global Markets, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., and Citigroup Financial Products, Inc. (together, the “Citigroup Parties”). The complaint alleges that the Citigroup Parties and numerous other defendants committed acts in violation of the Bank Holding Company Act and the common law. The complaint seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. In November 2003, a similar adversary proceeding was filed by the Equity Holders Committee of Adelphia. In June 2004, motions to dismiss were filed with respect to the complaints of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Equity Holders Committee. Those motions were decided by the bankruptcy

court, and were granted in part and denied in part. The district court affirmed in part and reversed in part the bankruptcy court’s decision. The Adelphia Recovery Trust, which has replaced the committees as the plaintiff in the action, has filed an amended complaint on behalf of the Adelphia Estate, consolidating the two prior complaints; motions to dismiss the amended complaint and answers have been filed.
     In addition, Citigroup Global Markets is among the underwriters named in numerous civil actions brought to date by investors in Adelphia debt securities in connection with Adelphia securities offerings between September 1997 and October 2001. Three of the complaints also asserted claims against Citigroup and Citibank, N.A. All of the complaints alleged violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also alleged violations of state securities laws and the common law. The complaints sought unspecified damages. In December 2003, a second amended complaint was filed and consolidated before the same judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Following settlements of the class action (which is pending appeal) and other individual actions, two cases remain outstanding. The Second Circuit is considering whether the plaintiff in one has proper standing to sue. In September 2007, motions to dismiss in the other case were granted in part and denied in part.
     Without admitting any liability, Citigroup Global Markets and numerous other financial institution defendants have agreed to settle In Re Adelphia Communications Corporation Securities and Derivative Litigation for a total of $250 million, subject to final court approval. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York approved the settlement in November 2006. Citigroup Global Markets’ share of the settlement is covered by existing reserves.
Mutual Funds
     Citigroup and certain of its affiliates have been named in several class action litigations pending in various federal district courts arising out of alleged violations of the federal securities laws, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the common law (including breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment). The claims concern practices in connection with the sale of mutual funds, including allegations involving market timing, revenue sharing, incentive payments for the sale of proprietary funds, undisclosed breakpoint discounts for the sale of certain classes of funds, inappropriate share class recommendations and inappropriate fund investments. The litigations involving market timing have been consolidated under the Multidistrict Litigation rules in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and the litigations involving revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs in these litigations generally seek unspecified compensatory damages, rescissionary damages, injunctive relief, costs and fees. In the principal market timing cases that name Citigroup, a lead plaintiff has been appointed but that plaintiff has not yet filed an amended complaint. In the cases concerning revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated and amended complaint on December 15, 2004. Citigroup moved to dismiss the claims and the motion was granted. An appeal is currently pending. Several derivative actions and class actions were also dismissed against Citigroup defendants in this action (and Citigroup expects that additional actions will be dismissed on similar grounds).
     Several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. Citigroup has received subpoenas and other requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, financing, fees, sales practices and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. Citigroup is cooperating with all such reviews. Additionally, Citigroup Global Markets has entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to revenue sharing and sales of classes of funds.

The alleged class actions relating to research of these companies are pending before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated proceedings. The court has consolidated these actions into separate proceedings corresponding to the companies named above.
     On December 2, 2004, the court granted in part and denied in part the Citigroup-related defendants’ motions to dismiss the claims against it in the AT&T, Level 3, XO and Williams actions. On January 6, 2005, the court granted in part and denied in part Citigroup’s motion to dismiss the claims against it in the Metromedia action.
     On September 30, 2008, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district court’s order granting class certification in the matter In Re Salomon Analyst Metromedia Litigation.

     Two alleged class actions against Citigroup Global Markets asserting common law claims in connection with published investment research on behalf of Citigroup Global Markets customers have been dismissed by United States District Courts, one of which was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and one of which was affirmed by the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Plaintiffs in the Ninth Circuit case sought review by the United States Supreme Court; which was subsequently denied.
     On September 22, 2005, Citigroup reached an agreement-in-principle to settle all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants in Norman v. Salomon Smith Barney, et al., a class action asserting violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and various common law claims in connection with certain investors who maintained guided portfolio management accounts at Smith Barney. On May 18, 2006, the court gave final approval to the settlement. The settlement is final and no longer subject to appeal. The settlement amount was covered by existing litigation reserves.
     On August 17, 2005, in Disher v. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the district court’s grant of plaintiffs’ motion to remand the case to state court, and directed the district court to dismiss the case as preempted under the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (“SLUSA”). On June 26, 2006, the United States Supreme Court granted plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated the opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and then remanded the case to the Seventh Circuit for further proceedings. On January 22, 2007, the Seventh Circuit dismissed Citigroup’s appeal from the district court’s removal order for lack of appellate jurisdiction. On February 1, 2007, plaintiffs secured an order reopening this case in Illinois state court and on February 16, 2007, Citigroup removed the reopened action to federal court. On May 3, 2007, the district court remanded the action to Illinois state court, and on June 13, 2007, Citigroup moved in state court to dismiss the action. That motion remains pending.
Supervisory Investigation
     In May 2003, the SEC, NYSE and the NASD issued a subpoena and letters to Citigroup Global Markets requesting documents and information with respect to their continuing investigation of individuals in connection with the supervision of the research and investment banking departments of Citigroup Global Markets. Other parties to the Research Settlement have received similar subpoenas and letters.
Citigroup Shareholder Litigation

The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for common law fraud. Fourteen virtually identical complaints have been filed and consolidated. The complaints allege that Citigroup misstated the extent of its Enron-related exposure, and that Citigroup’s stock price fell once the true extent of Citigroup’s Enron involvements became known. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 10, 2003, which incorporated the allegations in the 15 separate actions and added new material as well. The amended complaint focuses on certain transactions between Citigroup and Enron and alleged analyst conflicts of interest. The class period for the consolidated amended complaint is July 24, 1999 to December 11, 2002. On June 2, 2003, Citigroup filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs’ response was filed on July 30, 2003 and Citigroup’s reply was filed on October 3,

NASD Settlement
     In November 2004, Citigroup Global Markets entered into a final agreement with the NASD to resolve the NASD’s investigation into certain of its selling practices. Without admitting or denying any allegations or findings, Citigroup Global Markets accepted certain factual findings by the NASD that it (i) sold units in two managed futures funds to 45 customers for whom the investment was not suitable, (ii) failed to maintain records disclosing the basis upon which its investor suitability determinations were made and (iii) failed to adequately disclose the risks of investing in managed futures products on its website.

Auction Rate Securities
     On May 31, 2006, the SEC instituted and simultaneously settled proceedings against Citigroup Global Markets and 14 other broker-dealers regarding practices in the Auction Rate Securities market.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
  Overview
     The Partnership aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation through speculative trading in U.S. and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products and precious and base metals. The Partnership may employ futures, options on futures, forwards and swap contracts in those markets.

     The General Partner manages all business of the Partnership. The General Partner has delegated its responsibility for the investment of the Partnership’s assets to Chesapeake. The General Partner employs a team of approximately 20 professionals whose primary emphasis is on attempting to maintain quality control among the Advisors to the Partnerships operated or managed by the General Partner. A full-time staff of due diligence professionals use proprietary technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities. In selecting the Advisor for the Partnership, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements.
     Responsibilities of the General Partner include:
    due diligence examinations of the Advisor;
 
    selection, appointment and termination of the Advisor;
 
    negotiation of the management agreement; and
 
    monitoring the activity of the Advisor.
     In addition, the General Partner prepares the books and records and provides the administrative and compliance services that are required by law or regulation from time to time in connection with operation of the Partnership. These services include the preparation of required books and records and reports to limited partners, government agencies and regulators; computation of net asset value; calculation of fees; effecting subscriptions, redemptions and limited partner communications; and preparation of offering documents and sales literature.
     The General Partner shall seek the best prices and services available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions. The General Partner reviews at least annually, the brokerage rates charged to commodity pools similar to the Partnership to determine that the brokerage fee the Partnership pays is competitive with other rates.
     The programs offered generally by the Advisor to its clients to trade commodity interests for their accounts are the Diversified Program and the Diversified 2XL Program. Chesapeake initially traded its Diversified Program on behalf of the Partnership, however, since August 1, 1997, Chesapeake has traded the Partnership’s account pursuant to its Diversified 2XL Program. The Diversified Program emphasizes a wide range of diversification by utilizing a global portfolio of commodity interests, including, but not limited to, agricultural products, precious and industrial metals, currencies, financial instruments, and stock, financial and economic indices. These contracts are traded on a highly leveraged basis.
     The Diversified 2XL Program employs the same trading system as the Diversified Program, except that the Diversified 2XL Program is generally traded on an increased exposure basis equal to approximately two times the exposure or trading level typically applied to a fully-funded Diversified Program account. Ultimately, the appropriate exposure or trading level to be employed as determined at the sole discretion of the Advisor will be determined by the performance factors associated with the relevant account only, regardless of the intended performance relationship of such account to other accounts trading in other programs that may utilize more or less exposure.
     In general, the Advisor analyzes markets, including price action, market volatility, open interest and volume (“technical analysis”) as a means of predicting market opportunity and discovering any repeating patterns in past historical prices. The Advisor’s trading decisions are based on a combination of its systems, its market timing techniques, its trading discretion, judgment and experience and on market opportunities. The Advisor’s trading methodology is both systematic and strategic. Trading decisions require the exercise of strategic judgment by the Advisor in evaluating its technical trading methods, in their possible modification from time to time, and in their implementation.

     Exchanges on which transactions for the Partnership may take place include all futures exchanges in the United States and certain non-U.S. futures exchanges. The Advisor continually monitors numerous markets, both non-U.S. and U.S., and may initiate trades at any point the system determines that the market is sufficiently liquid and suitable for trading using the methods employed by the Advisor.
     (a) Liquidity.
     The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts, and interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred during the year ended December 31, 2008.
     To minimize this risk relating to low margin deposits, the Partnership follows certain trading policies, including:
  (i)   The Partnership invests its assets only in commodity interests that the Advisor believes are traded in sufficient volume to permit ease of taking and liquidating positions. Sufficient volume, in this context, refers to a level of liquidity that the Advisor believes will permit it to enter and exit trades without noticeably moving the market.
 
  (ii)   The Advisor will not initiate additional positions in any commodity if these positions would result in aggregate positions requiring a margin of more than 662/3% of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to the Advisor.
 
  (iii)   The Partnership may occasionally accept delivery of a commodity. Unless such delivery is disposed of promptly by retendering the warehouse receipt representing the delivery to the appropriate clearinghouse, the physical commodity position is fully hedged.
 
  (iv)   The Partnership does not employ the trading technique commonly known as “pyramiding”, in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions as margin for the purchases or sale of additional positions in the same or related commodities.
 
  (v)   The Partnership does not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
 
  (vi)   The Advisor may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. The term “spread” or “straddle” describes a commodity futures trading strategy involving the simultaneous buying and selling of futures contracts on the same commodity but involving different delivery dates or markets and in which the trader expects to earn a profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference between the prices of the two contracts.
 
  (vii)   The Partnership will not permit the churning of its commodity trading account. The term “churning” refers to the practice of entering and exiting trades with a frequency unwarranted by legitimate efforts to profit from the trades, driven by the desire to generate commission income.
     In the normal course of business, the Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include swaps and

20


Table of Contents

certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
     Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
     Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, an exchange or clearing organization acts as counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As of December 31, 2008, there are no swap contracts the Partnership is a party to. The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s assets is CGM.
     The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. (See also “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further information on financial instrument risk included in the notes to the financial statements.)
     Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures and swaps trading, the Partnership knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which will result in or which are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner may, in its discretion, cause the Partnership to cease trading operations and liquidate all open positions under certain circumstances including a decrease in Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit to less than $400 as of the close of business on any business day.
     (b) Capital Resources.
     (i) The Partnership has made no material commitments for capital expenditures.
     (ii) The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on trading cannot be predicted. Market moves in commodities are dependent upon fundamental and technical factors which the Advisors may or may not be able to identify, such as changing supply and demand relationships, weather, government agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. Partnership expenses consist of, among other things, commissions, advisory fees and administrative fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon the level of trading and the ability of

21


Table of Contents

the Advisor to identify and take advantage of price movements in the commodity markets, in addition to the level of Net Assets maintained. In addition, the amount of interest income payable by CGM is dependent upon interest rates over which the Partnership has no control.
     No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given period. A Limited Partner may require the Partnership to redeem their Redeemable Units at the Net Asset Value as of the last day of a month on 10 days’ notice to the General Partner. For the purpose of a redemption, any accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and organization expenses for the Initial Offering Period will not reduce Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit. There is no fee charged to Limited Partners in connection with redemptions. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 11,348.7824 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $21,508,257. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 10,289.5035 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $20,810,848. For the year ended December 31, 2006, 6,316.3564 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $15,078,041.
     For the year ended December 31, 2008, there were additional sales of 4,082.4408 Redeemable Units totaling $7,390,000 and General Partner contributions representing 521.2428 Unit equivalents totaling $886,660. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were additional sales of 16,136.0503 Redeemable Units totaling $37,875,000 and General Partner contributions representing 492.8172 Unit equivalents totaling $1,161,472. For the year ended December 31, 2006, there were additional sales of 15,249.1250 Redeemable Units totaling $36,022,000.
     (c) Results of Operations.
     For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 20.0% from $1,652.13 to $1,982.46. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreased 33.1% from $2,469.94 to $1,652.13. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 14.9% from $2,150.06 to $2,469.94.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $18,704,551 before brokerage commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, softs and indices and were partially offset by losses in metals.
     In 2008, the liquidity crisis that began in 2007 rapidly spread to all corners of the globe, significantly pushing down global economic growth and presenting the economies with some of the hardest challenges. During the year, the world’s credit markets virtually seized up, commodity prices plunged and most major equity indices declined dramatically, while some of the large financial institutions were under pressure. Faced with unprecedented and rapid deterioration in economic data and outlook, and fearing a snowball adverse effect of the credit crunch, global central banks reacted with aggressive campaigns of interest rate cuts and coordinated capital injections. As the markets re-priced the cost of risk, several strong trends emerged. The Partnership strongly capitalized on the trends and was profitable in currencies, energy, grains, interest rates, agricultural softs and stock indices while some losses were seen in the metals sector.
     The Partnership was well positioned to capitalize on the strong trends that emerged in the currencies and realized gains for the year. U.S. Dollar was relatively strong compared with most of the other developed economy currencies. Euro was put to its first major test since its inception. UK, Germany and France continued to show weak growth earlier in the year and as the situations worsened in the later part of the year, these countries officially entered recession. Japanese Yen remained an exception and showed extraordinary strength as the carry trade reversed.
     The Partnership realized most of the profits in the energy sector by capturing both the bullish and the bearish trends. In the earlier part of the year, crude oil pushed towards a historic high of $147 per barrel and in the latter part, the trend suddenly reversed and a strong negative trend emerged with crude oil dropping to about $32 per barrel. Natural gas also contributed to profits as prices plunged from $14 to about $5.

     In grains and agricultural softs, the Partnership was profitable as the trading strategy successfully navigated the trend reversal period and captured the bullish and bearish legs of the trend across several products. Corn prices continued to show a strong correlation to energy prices and while peaking at 800 cents around mid year, closed the year at around 400 cents.
     The Partnership was profitable in the interest rates sector as the yields on shorter end of the yield curve dropped to almost unphysical levels. Short term U.S. Treasury bills were in such high demand due to flight-to-quality that the yields dropped below zero. While the 10Yr T-bill yielded on an average between 3.5%-4% most of the year, the yield dropped to 2% in December. Non-U.S. interest rates also showed tremendous volatility as the rates dropped precipitously due to the actions of the central banks.
     Global stock indices also contributed to the gains as the indices continued to test multi-year lows. As banks continued to write off the assets and as bankruptcies loomed, investors lost confidence in the equity markets. Futures markets offered greater flexibility as the SEC temporarily banned short selling in the equity markets.
     The Partnership registered losses in the metals sector. Precious metals did not demonstrate a very strong directional trend, but the industrial metals reflected the general economic malaise. Copper, which is usually considered essential for growth, dropped from 4 cents to 1.5 cents per pound. Most of the Partnership losses in the metals sector were registered in the third quarter due to sudden price reversals.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading loss of $27,576,316 before brokerage commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by gains in grains.
     The Partnership experienced extraordinarily unfavorable market conditions, triggering a significant drawdown for the year. The global financial markets experienced tremendous non-directional volatility in the year 2007. Several long-term trends were consistently interrupted through the year, presenting a challenging trading environment. Sudden price reversals caused a sharp increase in the short-term correlations between several sectors, thereby eliminating the diversification benefits. The sub prime mortgage issue contributed to severe turbulence in several asset classes as the markets re-priced the cost of risk. The Partnership was profitable in grains and recorded losses in currencies, energy, non-U.S. interest rates, metals, agricultural softs and stock indices.
     The Partnership realized profits in the grains sector as wheat, corn and soybeans reached record level prices while consistently displaying a strong long-term trend. Ethanol-based alternative fuel usage coupled the corn price to crude oil price as these two products demonstrated strong correlation through the year, although the individual demand-supply characteristics of these two distinct products continued to affect the respective prices in the interim. The sub prime issue demonstrated that redistribution of risk through securitization of mortgages might not entirely shield investors from pricing risk inherent to the valuation of these securities. By shifting away from riskier assets and by buying U.S. treasury notes as collateral for the riskier assets, the markets effectively lowered the yields on the treasury notes while establishing a strong trend.
     Trading in currencies was extremely challenging as the major currencies demonstrated high non-directional volatility. Several factors including the unwinding of the Japanese Yen carry trade and the changing views on global growth and inflation contributed to interruptions in several established long-term trends. The energy sector also contributed to losses as prices rose to record levels driven by a weakening U.S. Dollar. Non-U.S. interest rates also presented challenges as the central banks around the world juxtaposed the impact of a slowing U.S. economy against domestic inflationary pressures. Trading in metals also contributed to losses. While precious metals like gold reached record prices, industrial metals like copper, zinc and aluminum experienced several price corrections, synchronous with the conflicting views on global growth and inflation. In the agricultural softs sector, coffee, cotton and sugar demonstrated strong long-term trends constantly punctuated by short-term price reversals. Equity indices also contributed to

23


Table of Contents

losses as global equity markets experienced major corrections with high volatility levels previously seen during the technology bubble earlier in the decade. The corrections were precipitated by forced liquidations by several institutional investors to meet redemptions or margin-call requirements.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $15,262,363 before brokerage commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals and indices and were partially offset by losses in energy, grains, livestock and softs.
     In the General Partner’s opinion, the Advisor continues to employ trading methods and produce results consistent with its expected performance given market conditions and the objectives of the Partnership. The General Partner continues to monitor the Advisor’s performance on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis to assure these objectives are met.
     Commodity markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisor to identify those price trends correctly. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
     (d) Operational Risk
     The Partnership is directly exposed to market risk and credit risk, which arise in the normal course of its business activities. Slightly less direct, but of critical importance, are risks pertaining to operational and back office support. This is particularly the case in a rapidly changing and increasingly global environment with increasing transaction volumes and an expansion in the number and complexity of products in the marketplace.
     Such risks include:
     Operational/Settlement Risk — the risk of financial and opportunity loss and legal liability attributable to operational problems, such as inaccurate pricing of transactions, untimely trade execution, clearance and/or settlement, or the inability to process large volumes of transactions. The Partnership is subject to increased risks with respect to its trading activities in emerging market securities, where clearance, settlement, and custodial risks are often greater than in more established markets.
     Technological Risk — the risk of loss attributable to technological limitations or hardware failure that constrain the Partnership’s ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers and in the markets where the Partnership participates.
     Legal/Documentation Risk — the risk of loss attributable to deficiencies in the documentation of transactions (such as trade confirmations) and customer relationships (such as master netting agreements) or errors that result in noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
     Financial Control Risk — the risk of loss attributable to limitations in financial systems and controls. Strong financial systems and controls ensure that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, and that financial information utilized by management and communicated to external parties, including the Partnership’s Redeemable Unit holder, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors.

24


Table of Contents

     (e) Critical Accounting Policies.
     Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
     Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnership has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale” (“FAS 102”).
     Investments. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included in equity in commodity futures trading account. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Partnership did not apply the deferral allowed by FASB Staff Positions No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
     The Partnership considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available, are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
     Futures Contracts. The Partnership trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery can not occur (such as S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership. When the contract is closed, the Partnership records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts. Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Nickel, Tin or Zinc. LME contracts traded by the Partnership are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Partnership records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

     Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
     In 2007, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2008 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
     The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2005.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedged items and has no impact on how the Partnership accounts for derivatives (the Partnership does not have hedged items). Management is evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and does not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
  Introduction
     The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.
     The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of Partnership assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
     Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
     The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
     Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or

the Partnership’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s attempts to manage its market risk.
  Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk
     The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor except for statements of historical fact (such as the terms of particular contracts and the number of market risk sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period).
     The Partnership’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Advisor is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings (realized or unrealized). Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%–99% of any one-day intervals. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to Value at Risk.
     In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not exchange traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Partnership), the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as Value at Risk. In those rare cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have been used.
     The fair value of the Partnership’s futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the Advisor may trade commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the following table as the margin requirement attributable to the instrument underlying each option. Where this instrument is a futures contract, the futures margin, and where this instrument is a physical commodity, the futures-equivalent maintenance margin has been used. This calculation is conservative in that it assumes that the fair value of an option will decline by the same amount as the fair value of the underlying instrument, whereas, in fact, the fair values of the options traded by the Partnership in almost all cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments.
     In quantifying the Partnership’s Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been added to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Partnership’s positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.
  The Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
     The following tables indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the highest, lowest and average value at any point during the year and the average value for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $65,791,057.

  Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
     The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Partnership. The magnitude of the Partnership’s open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions — unusual, but historically recurring from time to time — could cause the Partnership to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table — as well as the past performance of the Partnership — give no indication of this “risk of ruin.”
  Non-Trading Risk
     The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial.
     Materiality as used in this section, “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership’s market sensitive instruments.
  Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
     The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner and the Advisor for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the management strategies of the Partnership. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short or long term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.
     The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2008, by market sector.
     Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-8 countries. However, the Partnership also takes futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations — e.g., Australia.
     Currencies. The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The General Partner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the U.S. dollar-based Partnership in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.

Table of Contents

     Stock Indices. The Partnership’s primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership’s primary exposures were in the EUREX and Chicago Mercantile Exchange stock indices. The General Partner anticipates little, if any, trading in non-G-8 stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.)
     Metals. The Partnership’s primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of gold and aluminum.
     Softs. The Partnership’s primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Cotton, coffee and sugar accounted for the substantial bulk of the Partnership’s commodity exposure as of December 31, 2008.
  Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
     The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2008.
     Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, Euro dollar and Swiss francs. The Advisor regularly converts foreign currency balances to U.S. dollars in an attempt to control the Partnership’s non-trading risk.
  Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
     The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject.
     The General Partner monitors the Partnership’s performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisor concerning the Partnership’s overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner could require the Advisor to close out individual positions as well as enter certain positions traded on behalf of the Partnership. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The General Partner primarily relies on the Advisor’s own risk control policies while maintaining a general supervisory overview of the Partnership’s market risk exposures.
     The Advisor applies its own risk management policies to its trading. The Advisor often follows diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisor’s research of risk management often suggests ongoing modifications to its trading programs.
     As part of the General Partner’s risk management, the General Partner periodically meets with the Advisor to discuss its risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisor’s portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisor is required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to its programs.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
 
The management of Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. (the Partnership), Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for our assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Partnership; and
 
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
The management of Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, management concluded that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria referred to above.
 
The Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, as stated in their report dated March 26, 2009 which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Partners of
Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial condition, including the schedule of investments, and the related statement of income and expenses, and statement of changes in partners’ capital present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was initially organized on February 23, 1995 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership privately and continuously offers redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.
 
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) of the Partnership. The Partnership’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”). CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (“CGMHI”), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”).
 
On January 13, 2009, Citigroup Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell CGM’s division, Smith Barney, which includes Smith Barney in the U.S., Smith Barney in Australia and Quilter in the U.K., to a joint venture to be formed with Morgan Stanley. The joint venture, to be called Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will combine the sold businesses with Morgan Stanley’s Global Wealth Management Group. Upon closing, Morgan Stanley will own 51% and Citigroup will own 49% of the joint venture. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup will have various purchase and sale rights for the joint venture, but Citigroup is expected to retain the full amount of its stake at least through year three and to continue to own a significant stake in the joint venture at least through year five. The transaction, which is subject to and contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close the third quarter of 2009.
 
The General Partner and each Limited Partner share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each except that no Limited Partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of their initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
 
The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2015; when the Net Asset Value of a Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of the close of business on any business day; a decline in net assets after trading commences to less than $1,000,000; or under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Partnership has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale” (“FAS 102”).
 
  c.   Investments.  All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are

  realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in commodity futures trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Partnership did not apply the deferral allowed by FASB Staff Positions No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Partnership considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available, are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Partnership trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery can not occur (such as S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instruments, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership. When the contract is closed, the Partnership records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time

F-12

  it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Nickel, Tin or Zinc. LME contracts traded by the Partnership are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Partnership records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2008 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
 
The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2005.
 
  g.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedged items and has no impact on how the Partnership accounts for derivatives (the Partnership does not have hedged items). Management is evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and does not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial statement disclosures.

3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Partnership including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Partnership.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Chesapeake Capital Corporation (the “Advisor”), a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. As compensation for services, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor a monthly management fee of 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets managed by the Advisor. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating management fees, are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees. The Advisor agreed to temporarily waive the monthly management fee it received from the Partnership from
September 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 23% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreement, of the Partnership. The Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until the Advisor recovers the net loss incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Partnership’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. The Partnership is obligated to pay a monthly brokerage commission to CGM equal to 13/24 of 1% (6.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets, in lieu of brokerage commissions, on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating commissions are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of accrued expenses and redemptions payable. A portion of this fee is paid to CGM’s financial advisors who have sold Redeemable Units of the Partnership. This fee does not include exchange, give-up, user, clearing, floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) which will be borne by the Partnership. All of the Partnership’s assets are deposited in the Partnership’s account at CGM. The Partnership’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $5,799,867 and $11,753,495, respectively. CGM will pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Partnership’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The average fair values for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, based on a monthly calculation, were $3,387,675 and $5,464,542, respectively.
 
Brokerage commissions are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions.
 
5.   Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the General Partner; however, a Limited Partner may redeem all or some of their Redeemable Units (minimum ten Redeemable Units) at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last day of any month on fifteen days written notice to the General Partner, provided that no redemption may result in the Limited Partner holding fewer than ten Redeemable Units after such redemption is effected. There is no fee charged to Limited Partners in connection with redemptions.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership’s risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As of December 31, 2008, there are no swap contracts the Partnership is a party to. The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s assets is CGM.
 
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
     KPMG LLP was previously the principal accountant for the Partnership. On June 26, 2008, that firm was dismissed as principal accountant and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change accountants was approved by the General Partner of the Partnership.
     In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and through June 26, 2008, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for the year.
     The audit report of KPMG LLP on the financial statements of the Partnership as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
     The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
     Management is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.
     The General Partner’s CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2008 and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that at that date the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
     The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include policies and procedures that:
    pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
    provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and
 
    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     The report included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Includes management’s report on internal control over financial reporting (“Management’s Report”) and an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Report was not required to be audited by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report. Management elected to have its internal control over financial reporting audited.
     There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
     None.

Business.” Brokerage commissions and clearing fees of $4,769,347 were earned by CGM for the year ended December 31, 2008. Management fees of $1,423,171 were earned by the Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no incentive fees earned by the Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2008.
