NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2014

 

1. Nature of operations

Organization and Business

Superfund Green, L.P. (the “Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The Fund was organized to trade speculatively in the United States (“U.S.”) and international commodity futures and forward markets using a fully-automated computerized trading system. The Fund has issued two classes of units (“Units”), Series A and Series B (each, a “Series”). The two Series are traded and managed the same way except for the degree of leverage.

The terms of Series A and Series B each shall continue until December 31, 2050, unless the applicable Series is terminated earlier by the Fund’s general partner, Superfund Capital Management, Inc. (“Superfund Capital Management”) or by operation of law or a decline in the aggregate net assets of such Series to less than $500,000.

 

2. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) with respect to the Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of management are normal and recurring, and which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods presented. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Valuation of Investments in Futures Contracts and Forward Contracts

All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on a trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotes are readily available.

Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at settlement prices published by the recognized exchange. Any spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund will be valued at published settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes.

Translation of Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the period-end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date. Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of operations.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in the statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Operating expenses of the Fund are allocated to each Series in proportion to the net asset value of the Series at the beginning of each month. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Series are charged directly to that Series.

Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the statements of operations as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 210-20, Offsetting – Balance Sheet.

Set forth herein are instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statements of assets and liabilities and which are subject to derivative clearing agreements with the Fund’s futures commission merchants. Each futures commission merchant nets margin held on behalf of each Series of the Fund or payment obligations of the futures commission merchant to each Series against any payment obligations of that Series to the futures commission merchant. Each Series is required to deposit margin at each futures commission merchant to meet the original and maintenance requirements established by that futures commission merchant, and/or the exchange or clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the instrument is traded. The derivative clearing agreements give each futures commission merchant a security interest in this margin to secure any liabilities owed to the futures commission merchant arising from a default by the Series. As of March 31, 2014, the Fund had on deposit $3,471,913 at ADM Investor Services, Inc., $1,101,061 at Barclays Capital Inc. and $2,691,234 at Citigroup Global Markets Inc. As of March 31, 2014, Series A had on deposit $1,257,036 at ADM Investor Services, Inc., $463,027 at Barclays Capital Inc. and $705,873 at Citigroup Global Markets Inc. As of March 31, 2014, Series B had on deposit $2,214,877 at ADM Investor Services, Inc., $638,034 at Barclays Capital Inc. and $1,985,361 at Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Income Taxes

The Fund does not record a provision for U.S. income taxes because the partners report their share of the Fund’s income or loss on their returns. The financial statements reflect the Fund’s transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes.

Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the application of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), to the Fund, to determine whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, Superfund Capital Management has determined no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required to be recorded as a result of the application of ASC 740. Superfund Capital Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund files federal and various state tax returns. The 2010 through 2013 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Superfund Capital Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2013-08

In June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-08, Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 contains new guidance regarding the approach to investment company assessment, requires non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies to be measured at fair value and requires additional disclosures about the investment company’s status as an investment company and information required to be provided to any of its investees. The amendments in the update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2013-08 has not had a material impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Table of Contents

ASU 2011-11

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments clarify that the scope of guidance issued in December 2011 to enhance disclosures around financial instrument and derivative instruments that are either (a) offset, or (b) subject to a master netting agreement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset, applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Fund follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

Level 1:

  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2:

  Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3:

  Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Fund separates its financial instruments into two categories: U.S. government securities and derivative contracts.

Derivative Contracts. Derivative contracts can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether they are deemed to be actively traded or not. The Fund has exposure to exchange-traded derivative contracts through the Fund’s trading of exchange-traded futures contracts. The Fund’s exchange-traded futures contract positions are valued daily at settlement prices published by the applicable exchanges. In such cases, provided they are deemed to be actively traded, exchange-traded derivatives are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Less actively traded exchange-traded derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards and swaps, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. The OTC derivatives held by the Fund may include forwards and swaps. Spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund are valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. The Fund’s forward and swap positions are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. Such instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the Fund does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so that the model value at inception equals the transaction price. The

 

23


Table of Contents

valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives are typically based on Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs that can be observed in the market, as well as unobservable Level 3 inputs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Fund updates the Level 1 and Level 2 inputs to reflect observable market changes, with resulting gains and losses reflected within Level 3. Level 3 inputs are changed only when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. In circumstances in which the Fund cannot verify the model value to market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. The Fund attempts to avoid holding less liquid OTC derivatives. However, once held, the market for any particular derivative contract could become less liquid during the holding period. As of and during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the Fund held no derivative contracts valued using Level 3 inputs.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s assets and liabilities by the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

4. Disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Fund follows ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Derivative instruments held by the Fund do not qualify as derivative instruments held as hedging instruments, as defined in ASC 815. Instead, the Fund includes derivative instruments in its trading activity. Per the requirements of ASC 815, the Fund discloses the gains and losses on its trading activities for both derivative and nonderivative instruments in the Statements of Operations.

The Fund engages in the speculative trading of forward contracts in currency and futures contracts in a wide range of commodities, including equity markets, interest rates, food and fiber, energy, livestock, and metals. ASC 815 requires entities to recognize all derivatives instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. Investments in forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open forward contracts, futures contracts purchased and futures contracts sold. Since the derivatives held or sold by the Fund are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open positions from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.

Superfund Capital Management believes futures and forward trading activity expressed as a percentage of net assets is indicative of trading activity. Information concerning the fair value of the Fund’s derivatives held long or sold short, as well as information related to the annual average volume of the Fund’s derivative activity, is as follows:

5. Due from/to brokers

Due from brokers consists of proceeds from securities sold. Amounts due from brokers may be restricted to the extent that they serve as deposits for securities sold short. Amounts due to brokers, if any, represent margin borrowings that are collateralized by certain securities. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no amounts due to brokers.

Table of Contents

In the normal course of business, all of the Fund’s marketable securities transactions, money balances and marketable security positions are transacted with brokers. The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with whom it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf.

 

6. Allocation of net profits and losses

In accordance with the Fund’s Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”), net profits and losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective interests in the Fund as of the beginning of each month.

Subscriptions received in advance, if any, represent cash received prior to the balance sheet date for subscriptions of the subsequent month and do not participate in the earnings of the Fund until the following month.

 

7. Related party transactions

Superfund Capital Management shall be paid a management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.85% of month-end net assets (1.85% per annum), ongoing offering expenses equal to one-twelfth of 1% of month-end net assets (1% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred, and monthly operating expenses equal to one-twelfth of 0.15% of month-end net assets (0.15% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred. Superfund Capital Management will also be paid a monthly performance/incentive fee equal to 25% of the new appreciation without respect to interest income. Trading losses will be carried forward and no further performance/incentive fee may be paid until the prior losses have been recovered. In addition, a portion of the Fund’s brokerage fees will be paid to the clearing brokers for execution and clearing costs and the balance will be paid to Superfund Capital Management for providing services akin to services provided by an introducing broker. Superfund USA, LLC an entity related to Superfund Capital Management by common ownership, shall be paid monthly selling commissions equal to one-twelfth of 4% (4% per annum) of the month-end net asset value of the Fund. However, the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit is limited to 10% of the initial public offering price of Units sold. Selling commissions charged as of the end of each month in excess of 10% of the initial public offering price of Units sold shall not be paid out to any selling agent but shall instead be held in a separate account. Accrued monthly performance fees, if any, will then be charged against both net assets of the Fund as of month-end, as well as against amounts held in the separate account. Any increase or decrease in net assets and any accrued interest will then be credited or charged to each investor (a “Limited Partner”) on a pro rata basis. The remainder of the amounts held in the separate account, if any, shall then be reinvested in Units as of such month-end, at the current net asset value, for the benefit of the appropriate Limited Partner. The amount of any distribution to a Limited Partner, any amount paid to a Limited Partner on redemption of Units and any redemption fee paid to Superfund Capital Management upon the redemption of Units will be charged to that Limited Partner. Selling commissions are shown gross on the statement of operations and amounts over the 10% selling commission threshold are rebated to the Limited Partner by purchasing Units of the Fund.

9. Financial instrument risk

In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specific 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 OTC. Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. 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.

For the Fund, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $822,775 and $325,399, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $18 and $510, respectively, at March 31, 2014.

For Series A, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $317,160 and $121,158, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $6 and $180, respectively, at March 31, 2014.

For Series B, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $505,615 and $204,241, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $12 and $330, respectively, at March 31, 2014.

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interest positions at the same time, and Superfund Capital Management was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses.

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 an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Fund’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As the Fund’s assets are held in segregated accounts with futures commission merchants, the Fund has credit risk and concentration risk. The Fund’s futures commission merchants are currently ADM Investor Services, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Superfund Capital Management monitors and attempts to control the Fund’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 Fund is subject. These monitoring systems allow Superfund Capital Management 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 and forward positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions, and collateral positions.

Table of Contents

The majority of these futures and forwards mature within one year of March 31, 2014. However, due to the nature of the Fund’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

 

10. Subscriptions and redemptions

Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments are received and cleared. All subscription funds are required to be promptly transmitted to the escrow agent, U.S. Bank National Association. Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by Superfund Capital Management within five business days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds in escrow must be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will be assessed on any subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether the subscription is accepted or the subscription funds are returned. Effective May 1, 2014 the Fund no longer accepts subscriptions.

A Limited Partner may request any or all of his investment in such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within such Series as of the end of each month, subject to a minimum redemption of $1,000 and subject further to such Limited Partner having an investment in such Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the minimum initial investment amount of $10,000. Limited Partners must transmit a written request of such redemption to Superfund Capital Management not less than five business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as permitted by Superfund Capital Management) as of which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions will generally be paid within twenty days after the effective date of the redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers’ positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or other persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series represented by the sums that are subject of such default or delay. As provided in the Partnership Agreement, if the net asset value per Unit within a Series as of the end of any business day declines by 50% or more from either the prior year-end or the prior month-end Unit value of such Series, Superfund Capital Management will suspend trading activities, notify all Limited Partners within such Series of the relevant facts within seven business days and declare a special redemption period.

 

11. Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund, and therefore cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

12. Subsequent events

Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were filed and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The Fund commenced the offering of its Units on October 22, 2002. The initial offering terminated on October 31, 2002 and the Fund commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The continuing offering period commenced at the termination of the initial offering period and ended as of May 1, 2014. Subscription and redemption data is presented for both the Fund, as the SEC registrant, and for Series A and Series B, individually. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Fund has accepted subscriptions totaling $211,812 and redemptions over the same period totaled $2,418,264. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, subscriptions totaling $97,526 in Series A and $114,286 in Series B have been accepted and redemptions over the same period totaled $845,988 in Series A and $1,572,276 in Series B.

LIQUIDITY

Most U.S. commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. This may affect the Fund’s ability to initiate new positions or close existing ones or may prevent it from having orders executed. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses, which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Fund may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little trading in such contracts is taking place.

 

38


Table of Contents

Trading in forward contracts introduces a possible further impact on liquidity. Because such contracts are executed “off exchange” between private parties, the time required to offset or “unwind” these positions may be greater than that for regulated instruments. This potential delay could be exacerbated to the extent a counterparty is not a U.S. person.

Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures and forward trading operations, the Fund’s assets are expected to be highly liquid.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Fund will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowings. Due to the nature of the Fund’s business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Series A:

Net results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, were a loss of 1.9% in net asset value compared to the preceding quarter end. In this period, Series A experienced a net decrease in net assets from operations of $234,183. This decrease consisted of income of $372, trading gains of $58,592 and total expenses of $293,147. Expenses included $58,459 in management fees, $31,599 in ongoing offering expenses, $4,740 in operating expenses, $126,399 in selling commissions, $70,919 in brokerage commissions and $1,031 in other expenses. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net asset value per Unit of Series A was $1,192.66 and $1,215.27, respectively.

Series B:

Net results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, were a loss of 1.4% in net asset value compared to the preceding quarter end. In this period, Series B experienced a net decrease in net assets from operations of $207,810. This decrease consisted of income of $569, trading gains of $154,871 and total expenses of $363,250. Expenses included $65,138 in management fees, $35,210 in ongoing offering expenses, $5,282 in operating expenses, $140,839 in selling commissions, $115,088 in brokerage commissions and $1,693 in other expenses. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net asset value per Unit of Series B was $1,282.30 and $1,300.97 respectively.

Fund results for 1st Quarter 2014:

In March, the Fund’s managed futures strategy underperformed. The Fund’s bond positions negatively impacted performance as treasuries fell amid hints from the United States (“U.S.”) government of rate increases in 2015. The Fund’s allocations to energy markets also posted losses, as crude fell modestly due to tensions in Ukraine and a drop in Libyan oil production. The Fund’s positions in the metals, grains and agricultural markets, however, yielded positive returns, helping to offset the losses in other sectors. Among these markets, the Fund’s short positions in London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper profited on concerns that the rising debt in China will curb copper demand. The fund also benefited from long positions soybean meal and cocoa gained amid poor weather conditions in Brazil.

In February, the Fund’s managed futures strategy yielded positive returns in all market groups apart except for metals, currencies and money markets. The Fund’s positions in bonds sector produced positive results as U.S. stocks rallied amid earnings and jobless claims, while German bonds fell as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) left interest rates unchanged and refrained from additional stimulus. The Fund’s short positions in silver and gold negatively affected performance as gold made experienced its largest monthly gain since July 2013 after investors and speculators chased prices higher on concerns about the pace of the U.S. economic recovery. The Fund’s long positions in crude oil and natural gas yielded profits as the markets continued to climb as cold weather demand pushed prices up in the first three weeks of the month.

In January, the Fund managed futures strategy produced negative results in as positions in the indices and energy sectors underperformed. The Fund’s crude oil positions yielded losses amid speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would curb stimulus measures further following signs of improvement in the U.S. economy. The Fund’s positions in natural gas helped to minimize losses in the energies sector as it rallied throughout the second half of January due to a reported decrease in inventories to its lowest level in almost four years. The Fund’s positions in the metals markets performed poorly as gold and silver continued to rise on increased demand in Asia. The Fund’s allocations to indices also performed negatively as U.S. indices suffered the largest losses since 2012 on fears over emerging markets resulted in significant selloffs.

Table of Contents

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Series A:

Net results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, were a gain of 6.5% in net asset value compared to the preceding quarter end. In this period, Series A experienced a net increase in net assets from operations of $1,046,039. This increase consisted of income of $380, trading gains of $1,435,642 and total expenses of $389,983. Expenses included $77,736 in management fees, $42,020 in ongoing offering expenses, $6,304 in operating expenses, $168,078 in selling commissions, $92,941 in brokerage commissions and $2,904 in other expenses. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net asset value per Unit of Series A was $1,203.82 and $1,130.49, respectively.

Series B:

Net results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, were a gain of 10.8% in net asset value compared to the preceding quarter end. In this period, Series B experienced a net increase in net assets from operations of $1,881,402. This increase consisted of income of $493, trading gains of $2,360,728 and total expenses of $479,819. Expenses included $86,446 in management fees, $46,728 in ongoing offering expenses, $7,010 in operating expenses, $186,909 in selling commissions, $148,280 in brokerage commissions and $4,446 in other expenses. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net asset value per Unit of Series B was $1,261.83 and $1,138.65 respectively.

Fund results for 1st Quarter 2013:

In March, the Fund’s trading strategies produced positive returns. U.S. stock indices rose for a third consecutive month with the Standard and Poor 500 approaching an all-time high, leading to profitable returns for the Fund’s long positions. The Fund’s long positions in European long-term interest rate futures produced significant gains as investors feared the banking crisis in Cyprus could spill over into neighboring economies. Short positions in base metals added to positive returns as markets were pressured by the debt crisis in Europe, slumping Chinese stocks, and the rising U.S. dollar. The Fund also benefited from long natural gas positions as below normal temperatures forecasted for April lifted futures to an 18-month high. Larger than expected U.S. inventories and record projected planting acreage sent Chicago Board of Trade corn to limit down conditions on the last day of trading, resulting in losses for the Fund’s long positions across the grain sector.

The Fund produced positive results in February as unmet expectations for global demand sent commodities lower while unsettling election results in Italy and negative growth renewed European debt concerns. Long positions in equity indices yielded losses for the Fund as European political instability and the slow pace of economic activity again raised concerns over regional finances. The Fund’s long bond positions generated solid returns in treasuries as European debt crisis fears were reignited in reaction to inconclusive Italian election results. Long positions in the money market sector generated favorable returns for the Funds as rising interbank borrowing costs prompted ECB President Mario Draghi to restate the ECB’s readiness to loosen monetary policy, lowering yield expectations. The U.S. dollar strengthened dramatically against a basket of world currencies leading to disappointing results for the Fund’s long positions in counter-currencies. The Fund’s short position in LME aluminum generated healthy returns as anticipated increases in demand had yet to be realized, Chinese production swelled and stockpiles tracked by LME rose for a fifth straight month. After climbing 6% in January, the crude oil complex fell back as the slow pace of recovery across the globe was unable to support a further advance, leading to losses for the Fund’s long positions in the energies sector.

In January, the Fund produced positive returns to start 2013 with gains across multiple market sectors. The Fund’s strategies performed well in global equities as indices reached multi-year highs on growing investor optimism, producing profits for the Fund’s long positions. The Fund’s long positions in base metals produced favorable results with the rebound in the global economy leading to increased industrial demand. Long allocations across the energies sector also generated healthy returns for the Fund as improving global economic conditions lifted demand prospects while unrest across North Africa and the Middle East injected geopolitical risk premium. Growing global economic stability eroded demand for the safety of government securities in January, leading to negative returns for the Fund’s long positions in the bonds sector. Expectations for the removal of excess liquidity from the financial system led to losses for the Fund’s long positions in money market futures.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The Fund trades in futures and forward contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a

 

40


Table of Contents

market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if Superfund Capital Management was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses. Superfund Capital Management attempts to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio in all but extreme instances not greater than 50%.

In addition to market risk, in entering into futures and forward contracts, there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Fund. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the U.S. and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Fund does not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Fund does not enter into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company. The Fund’s sole business is trading futures, currency, forward and certain swap contracts, both long (contracts to buy) and short (contracts to sell). All such contracts are settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts are for settlement within four months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts are held by the Fund for less than four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities. The financial statements of Series A and Series B each present a condensed schedule of investments setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such Series’ open forward contracts as well as the fair value of the futures contracts purchased and sold by each Series at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES – VALUATION OF THE FUND’S POSITIONS

Superfund Capital Management believes that the accounting policies that will be most critical to the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Fund’s positions. The majority of the Fund’s positions will be exchange-traded futures contracts, which will be valued daily at settlement prices published by the exchanges. Any spot and forward foreign currency or swap contracts held by the Fund will also be valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. Thus, Superfund Capital Management expects that under normal circumstances substantially all of the Fund’s assets will be valued on a daily basis using objective measures.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2013-08

In June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-08, Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 contains new guidance regarding the approach to investment company assessment, requires non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies to be measured at fair value and requires additional disclosures about the investment company’s status as an investment company and information required to be provided to any of its investees. The amendments in the update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2013-08 has not had a material impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

ASU 2011-11

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments clarify that the scope of guidance issued in December 2011 to enhance disclosures around financial instrument and derivative instruments that are either (a) offset, or (b) subject to a master netting agreement or similar agreement,

 

41


Table of Contents

irrespective of whether they are offset, applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
