WORLD MONITOR TRUST III – SERIES G

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

 

  A. General Description of the Trust

World Monitor Trust III (the “Trust”) is a business trust organized under the laws of Delaware on September 28, 2004. The Trust consists of four separate and distinct series (“Series”): Series G, H, I and J. Series G, H, I and J commenced trading operations on December 1, 2005, and each Series will continue to exist until terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement. The assets of each Series are segregated from those of the other Series, separately valued and independently managed. Each Series was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forward and options contracts and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions.

Each Series is initially divided into two classes: Class I Units and Class II Units. The Class I and Class II Units are identical except for the applicable service fee charged to each Class (See Note 4 for Service Fees).

Effective December 1, 2005, Series G allocated its net assets to WMT III Series G/J Trading Vehicle LLC, (the “Trading Vehicle”) and received a Voting Membership Interest in the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle. The sole members of the Trading Vehicle are Series G and Series J. Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. is the Managing Owner (“Preferred” or “Managing Owner”) of all Series and has been delegated administrative authority over the operations of the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward currency contracts. The financial statements of the Trading Vehicle, including the condensed schedule of investments, are included in Section II of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Series G’s financial statements.

 

  B. Regulation

As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trust and each Series are subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity pool, the Trust and each Series are subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of the various commodity exchanges where the Trust through the Trading Vehicle executes transactions.

 

  C. The Offering

Up to $37,500,000 Series G, Class I; $12,500,000 Series G, Class II; $37,500,000 Series H, Class I; $12,500,000 Series H, Class II; $18,750,000 Series I, Class I; $6,250,000 Series I, Class II; $281,250,000 Series J, Class I; and $93,750,000 Series J, Class II of Units are being offered (totaling $500,000,000) (“Subscription Maximum”). Interests are being offered to investors who meet certain established suitability standards, with a minimum initial subscription of $5,000 (and for Series J, $2,000 for certain Benefit Plan Investors (including IRAs)), although the minimum purchase for any single Series is $500. Initially, the Units for each Series were offered for a period ending November 30, 2005 (“Initial Offering Period”) at $100 per Interest.

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

 

  C. The Offering (Continued)

The Subscription Minimum of $30,000,000 for Series J was reached during the Initial Offering Period permitting all Series G, H, I and J to commence trading operations. Series G completed its initial offering on December 1, 2005 with gross proceeds of $525,000, which was fully allocated to the Trading Vehicle. Until the subscription maximum for each Series is reached, each Series’ Units will continue to be offered on a monthly basis at the then current net asset value per Unit.

 

  D. Exchanges, Redemptions and Termination

Units owned in one series of the Trust (Series G, H, I and J) may be exchanged, without any charge, for Units of one or more other Series on a monthly basis for as long as Limited Units in those Series are being offered to the public. Exchanges are made at the applicable Series’ then current net asset value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day of the month in which the exchange request is effected. The exchange of Units is treated as a redemption of Units in one Series (with the related tax consequences) and the simultaneous purchase of Units in the other Series. Future redemptions and exchanges will impact the amount of funds available for investment in the Trading Vehicle in subsequent periods.

Redemptions are permitted on a monthly basis. Class I Units redeemed prior to the first anniversary of their purchase will be subject to a redemption charge of up to 2% of the net asset value per Unit at which they were redeemed. Redemption fees are paid to the Selling Agent, Kenmar Securities, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing Owner. There is no redemption charge associated with Class II Units.

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

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  A. Basis of Accounting

The statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2007, the statements of operations and changes in unitholders’ capital for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Managing Owner, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of World Monitor Trust III – Series G as of March 31, 2007 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year.

WORLD MONITOR TRUST III – SERIES G

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

The financial statements of Series G are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such principles require the Managing Owner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The weighted average number of Units outstanding was computed for purposes of disclosing net income (loss) per weighted average Unit. The weighted average Units are equal to the number of Units outstanding at period end, adjusted proportionately for Units subscribed and redeemed based on their respective time outstanding during such period.

Series G 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.”

Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, Series G has provided general indemnifications to the Managing Owner, and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of Series G. Series G is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that Series G recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Preferred as Managing Owner of Series G has evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on Series G’s financial statements. In Preferred’s opinion, the adoption of FIN 48 has no material impact on Series G, as Series G’s tax position is based on established tax precedence for the tax treatment of investment partnerships as flow through tax entities.

WORLD MONITOR TRUST III – SERIES G

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Series G is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements. At this time, the impact to Series G’s financial statements has not been determined.

Cash represents amounts deposited with clearing brokers and banks. Series G receives interest on all cash balances held by the clearing brokers or banks at prevailing rates.

 

  B. Income Taxes

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

 

  C. Investment in WMT III Series G/J Trading Vehicle LLC

The investment in the Trading Vehicle is reported in Series G’s statements of financial condition at fair value. Fair value ordinarily is the value determined for the Trading Vehicle in accordance with the Trading Vehicle’s valuation policies and reported at the time of Series G’s valuation by the management of the Trading Vehicle. Generally, the fair value of Series G’s investment in the Trading Vehicle represents the amount that Series G could reasonably expect to receive from the Trading Vehicle if Series G’s investment were redeemed at the time of valuation, based on information available at the time the valuation was made and that Series G believes to be reliable. Series G records its proportionate share of each item of income and expense from its investment in the Trading Vehicle in the statements of operations.

The accounting policies, including valuation policies, of the Trading Vehicle are contained in the notes to the Trading Vehicle’s financial statements included in Section II of these financial statements.

 

  D. Profit and Loss Allocations and Distributions

Income and expenses (excluding the service fee) are allocated pro rata to the Class I Units and Class II Units monthly based on the units outstanding during the month. Class I Units are charged with the service fee applicable to such units. Distributions (other than redemptions of units) may be made at the sole discretion of the Managing Owner on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective capital balances of the unitholders. The Managing Owner has not and does not presently intend to make any distributions.

  E. Offering Costs

Initial offering costs (exclusive of the initial selling fee), totaling $1,450,801 were advanced by the Managing Owner. Of the $1,450,801 advanced by the Managing Owner, Series G’s maximum re-imbursement is $23,239 of which $9,342 was paid by Series G to the Managing Owner at March 31, 2007, leaving $13,897 payable by Series G to the Managing Owner subject to a maximum re-imbursement of .50% per annum and other restrictions as disclosed in the Trust Agreement.

Addition ongoing offering costs totaling $879,437 have been advanced by the Managing Owner through March 31, 2007. Of the $879,437 advanced by the Managing Owner, Series G’s maximum re-imbursement is $19,368 of which $0 has been paid by Series G to the Managing Owner as of March 31, 2007, leaving $19,368 payable by Series G to the Managing Owner subject to a maximum re-imbursement of .50% per annum and other restrictions as disclosed in the Trust Agreement.

Such initial offering expenses will be reimbursed by the Series, without interest, in 36 monthly payments during each of the first 36 months of the continuous offering period. The amount of initial offering costs that each Series will reimburse the Managing Owner each month is based on each Series percentage of total Trust net asset value at the beginning of each month. In no event shall the Managing Owner be entitled to reimbursement for such expenses in an aggregate amount in excess of 2.5% of the aggregate amount of all subscriptions accepted by the Trust during the Initial Offering Period and the first 36 months of the continuous offering period.

The Managing Owner also will pay all offering expenses incurred after the Initial Offering Period (“ongoing offering costs”). Such expenses will be allocated among the Series as the Managing Owner determines to be fair and equitable and, each Series will reimburse the Managing Owner, without interest, in up to 36 monthly payments during each of the first 36 months following the month in which such expenses were paid by the Managing Owner. In no event shall the amount of any payment in any month for reimbursement of initial and ongoing offering costs exceed 0.50% per annum of the Net Asset Value of each Series as of the beginning of such month.

The amount of monthly reimbursement due to the Managing Owner is charged directly to unitholders’ capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, Series G’s calculated offering costs reimbursement exceeded 0.50% per annum of the Net Asset Value of Series G. Series G was only liable for the amount up to the 0.50% per annum limitation.

The Series is liable for payment of initial and ongoing offering costs on a monthly basis. If a Series terminates prior to completion of payment of such amounts to the Managing Owner, the Managing Owner will not be entitled to any additional payments, and the Series will have no further obligation to the Managing Owner. The amount of monthly reimbursement due to the Managing Owner is charged directly to unitholders’ capital.

Note 3. MANAGING OWNER

The Managing Owner of the Trust is Preferred Investment Solutions Corp., which conducts and manages the business of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement requires the Managing Owner and or its affiliates to maintain a capital account equal to 1% of the total capital accounts of the Series (subject to a $25,000 minimum per Series).

The Managing Owner is paid a monthly management fee of 1/12 of 0.5% (0.5% annually) of Series G’s net asset value at the beginning of the month.

The Selling Agent is responsible for paying all commissions owing to the correspondent selling agents, who are entitled to receive from the Selling Agent an initial commission equal to 2% of the initial Net Asset Value per Unit of each Class I Unit sold by them, payable on the date such Class I Units are purchased. Commencing with the 13th month after the purchase of a Class I Unit, the correspondent selling agent receives an ongoing monthly commission equal to 1/12th of 2% (2% per annum) of the Net Asset Value per Class I Unit as of the beginning of each month of the Class I Units sold by them.

WMT III SERIES G/J TRADING VEHICLE LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

 

  A. General Description of the Trading Vehicle

WMT III Series G/J Trading Vehicle LLC (the “Trading Vehicle”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware on March 10, 2005 which will terminate on December 31, 2054 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Organization Agreement. The Trading Vehicle commenced trading operations on December 1, 2005. The Trading Vehicle was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward currency contracts. Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (“Preferred” or “Managing Owner”) is the Managing Owner of the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle currently consists of four members: World Monitor Trust III – Series G, Class I (“Member G-Class I”), World Monitor Trust III – Series G, Class II (“Member G-Class II”), World Monitor Trust III – Series J, Class I (“Member J-Class I”) and World Monitor Trust III – Series J, Class II (“Member J-Class II”) (collectively, the “Members”). Preferred is also the Managing Owner of each of the Members. Upon making the initial capital contribution, each Member received Voting Membership Interests.

The Trading Vehicle is a Member managed limited liability company that is not registered in any capacity with, or subject directly to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

  B. The Trading Advisor

The Trading Vehicle entered into an advisory agreement with Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Trading Advisor”) to make the trading decisions for the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Advisor manages approximately 100% of the assets of the Trading Vehicle pursuant to its Global Diversified at 150% Leverage program.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  A. Basis of Accounting

The statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2007, and the statements of operations and changes in members’ capital (net asset value) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Managing Owner, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of WMT III Series G/J Trading Vehicle LLC as of March 31, 2007 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The financial statements of the Trading Vehicle are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

Commodity futures and forward transactions are reflected in the accompanying statements of financial condition on the trade date. Net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) is reflected in the financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39 – “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts.” The market value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based upon the closing quotation on the various futures exchanges on which the contract is traded. The fair value of forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot price. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss during the current period is reported in the statement of operations. Realized gains and losses on commodity transactions are recognized in the period in which the contracts are closed.

Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged to expense when contracts are opened.

The Trading Vehicle 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.”

Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, the Trading Vehicle has provided general indemnifications to its Trading Advisor and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that the Trading Vehicle recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Preferred as Managing Owner of the Trading Vehicle has evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Trading Vehicle’s financial statements. In Preferred’s opinion, the adoption of FIN 48 has no material impact on the Trading Vehicle, as the Trading Vehicle’s tax position is based on established tax precedence for the tax treatment of investment partnerships as flow through tax entities.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Preferred as Managing Owner of the Trading Vehicle is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements. At this time, the impact to the Trading Vehicle’s financial statements has not been determined.

  B. Income Taxes

The Trading Vehicle is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Trading Vehicle is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the Members. The Trading Vehicle may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

 

  C. Capital Accounts

The Trading Vehicle accounts for additions, allocations of net gain (loss) and redemptions on a per member capital account basis.

The Trading Vehicle allocates profits and losses to its Members monthly on a pro rata basis based on each Member’s pro rata capital in the Trading Vehicle during the month. Distributions (other than redemptions of capital) may be made at the sole discretion of the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Members’ respective capital balances. The Trading Vehicle has not and does not presently intend to make any distributions.

 

  D. Foreign Currency Transactions

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

Note 3. MANAGEMENT AND INCENTIVE FEES

The Trading Vehicle pays the Trading Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2.5% (2.5% annually) of the Trading Vehicle’s allocated assets determined as of the close of business on the last day of each month. For purposes of determining the management fee, any distributions, redemptions or reallocation of assets made as of the last day of each month shall be added back to the assets and there shall be no reduction for (i) the management fees calculated or (ii) any accrued but unpaid incentive fees due the Trading Advisor.

Additionally, the Trading Vehicle pays the Trading Advisor an incentive fee of 20% (the “Incentive Fee”) of “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). The incentive fee accrues monthly and is paid quarterly. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Trading Advisor earned incentive fees of $0 and $74,826, respectively.

Note 4. OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses of the Trading Vehicle are paid for by the Trading Vehicle.

Note 5. DEPOSITS WITH BROKER

The Trading Vehicle deposits funds with UBS Securities LLC to act as broker subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. The Trading Vehicle also deposits collateral with UBS AG for margin against over-the-counter forward and foreign exchange deals. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such broker. The Trading Vehicle earns interest income on assets deposited with the broker at competitive rates.

Note 6. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

Additional investments in the Trading Vehicle can be made at any time subject to the terms of the Organization Agreement.

The Trading Vehicle is not required to make distributions, but could do so at the discretion of the Members. A Member can request and receive redemption of capital at any time, subject to the terms in the Organization Agreement.

Note 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

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

 

  A. Market Risk

Trading in futures and forward contracts (including foreign exchange) involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the contracts, which is typically many times that of the Trading Vehicle’s net assets being traded, significantly exceeds the Trading Vehicle’s future cash requirements since the Trading Vehicle intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, the Trading Vehicle is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, the Trading Vehicle considers the “fair value” of its derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the Trading Vehicle’s commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contract held. However, when the Trading Vehicle enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities exposes the Trading Vehicle to unlimited risk.

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

  B. Credit Risk

When entering into futures and forward contracts, the Trading Vehicle is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations. The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with the particular exchange. In general, a clearinghouse is backed by its corporate members who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. On the other hand, there is a concentration risk on forward transactions entered into by the Trading Vehicle as UBS AG is the sole counterparty. The Trading Vehicle has entered into a master netting agreement dated November 29, 2005 with UBS AG and, as a result, when applicable, presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of financial condition.

The amount at risk associated with counterparty non-performance of all of the Trading Vehicle’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of the Trading Vehicle’s contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of the Trading Vehicle’s contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Trading Vehicle.

The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring the Trading Vehicle and its Trading Advisor to abide by various trading limitations and policies. Preferred monitors compliance with these trading limitations and policies, which include, but are not limited to, executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties; limiting the amount of margin or premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. Additionally, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement among the Trading Vehicle, Preferred and the Trading Advisor, the Trading Vehicle shall automatically terminate the Advisory Agreement, if the net asset value allocated to the Trading Advisor declines as of the end of any business day by at least 40% from the value at the beginning of any calendar year or since the effective date of the Advisory Agreement. The decline in net asset value is after giving effect for distributions, subscriptions and redemptions.

The Trading Vehicle’s futures commission merchant, in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Trading Vehicle all assets of the Trading Vehicle relating to domestic futures trading and is not allowed to commingle such assets with its other assets. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, such segregated assets totaled $22,494,384 and $22,129,652, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires the Trading Vehicle’s futures commission merchant to secure assets of the Trading Vehicle related to foreign futures trading which totaled $1,904,342 and $2,497,027 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

As of March 31, 2007, all open futures and forward contracts mature between May 2007 and September 2008.

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

This report on Form 10Q (the “Report”) for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 (“First Quarter 2007”) includes forward-looking statements that reflect the current expectations of Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (“Preferred” or the “Managing Owner”), the managing owner of World Monitor Trust III – Series G (“Registrant”), about the future results, performance, prospects and opportunities of Registrant. The Managing Owner has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “estimate” or the negative of those terms or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Managing Owner and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, both known, such as those described in this Report, and unknown, that could cause Registrant’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.

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

Introduction

General

World Monitor Trust III (the “Trust”) was formed as a Delaware Statutory Trust on September 28, 2004, with separate series (each, a “Series”) of units of beneficial interest (“Units” or “Interests”). Its term will expire on December 31, 2054 (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances). The trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust Company. The Trust’s fiscal year for book and tax purposes ends on December 31.

The Trust’s Units were initially offered in four (4) separate and distinct Series: Series G (“Registrant”), Series H, Series I, and Series J. The Trust may issue additional Series of Units in the future. Each Series will continue to exist until terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII of the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). Each Series offers Units in two classes (each, a “Class”) – Class I and Class II. Class I Units pay a service fee (“Service Fee”), monthly in arrears. Class II Units may only be offered to investors who are represented by approved correspondent selling agents who are directly compensated by the investor for services rendered in connection with an investment in the Trust (such arrangements commonly referred to as “wrap-accounts”).

Series G, H, I and J commenced trading operations on December 1, 2005.

Units are offered as of the beginning of each month, and Units will continue to be offered in each Series until the maximum amount of each Series’ Units which are registered are sold. The Managing Owner may suspend or terminate the offering of Units of any Series at any time or extend the offering by registering additional Units. The Managing Owner terminated the offering of Units of Series H and Series I effective March 31, 2007 and resolved to dissolve Series H and Series I effective close of business on April 30, 2007.

Effective December 1, 2005, Registrant contributed its net assets to WMT III Series G/J Trading Vehicle LLC (the “Trading Vehicle”), a Delaware limited liability company, and received a voting membership interest in the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle for its members. Registrant and Series J are the sole members of the Trading Vehicle. Preferred is the managing owner of Registrant and Series J and has been delegated administrative authority over the operations of the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts. All references herein to Registrant’s relationship with the Trading Advisor (as defined below) shall, unless the context states otherwise, refer to Registrant’s relationship with the Trading Advisor through the Trading Vehicle. The financial statements of the Trading Vehicle, including the condensed schedule of investments, are included in Section II of the financial statements and should be used in conjunction with the Registrant’s financial statements.

Managing Owner and its Affiliates

The Managing Owner and or its affiliates have agreed to purchase and maintain an interest in Registrant in an amount not less than 1% of the Net Asset Value of such Series or $25,000, whichever is greater.

The Offering

Up to $37,500,000 Series G, Class I; $12,500,000 Series G, Class II; $281,250,000 Series J, Class I; and $93,750,000 Series J, Class II of Units are being offered (“Subscription Maximum”). The offering of Units of Series H, Class I (up to $37,500,000), Series H, Class II ($12,500,000), Series I, Class I ($18,750,000) and Series I, Class II ($6,250,000) was terminated effective March 31, 2007.

Interests are being offered to investors who meet certain established suitability standards, with a minimum initial subscription of $5,000 (and for Series J, $2,000 for certain “benefit plan investors” (including IRAs)), although the minimum purchase for any single Series is $500. Limited Units and General Units are sometimes referred to as “Units”.

Initially, the Limited Units for each Series were offered for a period ending December 1, 2005 (“Initial Offering Period”) at $100 per Interest. The Subscription Minimum of $30,000,000 for Series J was reached during the Initial Offering Period permitting all Series to commence trading operations. Registrant completed its initial offering on December 1, 2005 with gross proceeds of $525,000, which was fully allocated to the Trading Vehicle. Until the subscription maximum for Series G and Series J is reached each such Series’ Units will continue to be offered on a monthly basis at the then current Net Asset Value per Unit.

The Trading Advisor

The Trading Vehicle has its own independent commodity trading advisor that makes the Trading Vehicle’s trading decisions. The Trading Vehicle entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Graham Capital Management, LP (the “Trading Advisor” or “Graham”) to make the trading decisions for the Trading Vehicle. Graham trades 100% of the assets of Registrant pursuant to Graham’s Global Diversified at 150% Leverage program, which is a technical, systematic, global macro program. The advisory agreement may be terminated for various reasons, including at the discretion of the Trading Vehicle. The Trading Vehicle has allocated 100% of the proceeds from the initial and continuous offering of Registrant to the Trading Advisor. Registrant pays a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2.5% (2.5% annually) of the Trading Vehicle’s NAV to the Trading Advisor. The Trading Vehicle also pays the Trading Advisor an incentive fee of 20% of New High Net Trading Profits (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) generated by the Trading Vehicle. Incentive fees will accrue monthly and be paid quarterly in arrears.

Competition

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

Registrant is an open-end fund, which solicits the sale of additional Limited Interests on a monthly basis until the maximum amount of Limited Interests being offered by Registrant have been sold. As such, Registrant may compete with other entities, whether or not formed by the Managing Owner, to attract new participants. In addition, to the extent that the Trading Advisor recommends similar or identical trades to Registrant and other accounts that it manages, Registrant may compete with those accounts for the execution of the same or similar trades, as well as with other market participants.

Employees

Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for Registrant are performed by the Managing Owner or third parties pursuant to the Trust Agreement, as further discussed in Notes 3, 4,

5 and 6 to Registrant’s financial statements included in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“Registrant’s 2006 Annual Report”), which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

The Managing Owner has evaluated Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures and has determined that the policies discussed below are critical accounting policies because they involve estimates, judgments and assumptions that are particularly complex, subjective or uncertain. For a further discussion of Registrant’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

The valuation of Registrant’s investments that are not traded on a United States or internationally recognized futures exchange is a critical accounting policy. The market values of futures (exchange traded) contracts is verified by Registrant’s administrator, which obtains valuation data from third party data providers such as Bloomberg and Reuters and compares those prices with Registrant’s clearing broker. The market value of currency swap and forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3 PM on the last business day of the reporting period. All values assigned by the administrator and confirmed by the Managing Owner are final and conclusive as to all of Registrant’s unitholders.

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

Registrant records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of Trading Profits (Losses) in the Statements of Income (Loss). Generally, fair values are based on quoted market prices; however, in certain circumstances, significant judgments and estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that Registrant recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Managing Owner has evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on Registrant’s financial statements. In the Managing Owner’s opinion, the adoption of FIN 48 has no material impact on Registrant, as Registrant’s tax position is based on established tax precedence for the tax treatment of investment partnerships as flow through tax entities.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Registrant is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements. At this time, the impact to Registrant’s financial statements has not been determined.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant commenced operations on December 1, 2005 with gross proceeds of $525,000 allocated to commodities trading. Additional contributions raised through the continuous offering of limited interests (“Limited Interests”) and general interests (“General Interests” and, together with the Limited Interests, “Interests”) of beneficial ownership in Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from December 1, 2005 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2007 resulted in additional gross proceeds to Registrant of $1,987,500 and $2,672,500 respectively.

Limited Interests in Registrant may be redeemed on a monthly basis, but are subject to a redemption fee if transacted within one year of the effective date of purchase. For First Quarter 2007, redemptions of Limited Interests and General Interests were $1,956 and $0, respectively. For First Quarter 2006, redemptions of Limited Interests and General Interests were $0 and $0, respectively.

Interests owned in any Series of the Trust may be exchanged, without any charge, for Interests of one or more other Series of the Trust on a monthly basis for as long as Limited Interests in those Series are being offered to the public. Because Units in Series H and Series I are no longer being offered to the public, Limited Interests in Registrant may not be exchanged for Limited Interests in Series H or Series I, nor may Limited Interests in Series H or Series I be exchanged for Limited Interests in Registrant. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

At March 31, 2007, 100% of Registrant’s net assets were allocated to commodities trading through its investment in the Trading Vehicle. A significant portion of Registrant’s net assets invested in the Trading Vehicle was held in cash, which was used as margin for trading in commodities. In as much as the sole business of Registrant is to trade in commodities, Registrant continues to own such liquid assets to be used as margin. The clearing broker credits the Trading Vehicle (and, in turn, Registrant, as a member of the Trading Vehicle) with interest income on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in its accounts with the clearing broker during each month at competitive interest rates.

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

Since Registrant’s business is to trade futures and forward contracts (through its investment in the Trading Vehicle), its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk). Registrant’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of Registrant’s speculative trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could result in losses considerably beyond Registrant’s experience to date and could ultimately lead to a loss of all of substantially all of investors’ capital. The Managing Owner attempts to minimize these risks by requiring Registrant, the Trading Vehicle and the Trading Advisor to abide by various trading limitations and policies, which include limiting margin amounts, trading only in liquid markets and permitting the use of stop loss provisions. See Note 8 to the financial statements for a further discussion on the credit and market risks associated with Registrant’s futures and forward contracts.

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

Market Overview

Following is a market overview for First Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2006:

First Quarter 2007

The US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) remained on hold throughout First Quarter 2007 after having moved away from the tightening bias cycle in the fourth quarter of 2006. As the second quarter of 2007 began, the Federal Open Market Committee minutes indicate a growing concern with the potential for an economic slowdown, but at the same time, inflation remains the Fed’s primary focus. Treasury yields were in an almost constant downtrend in the fourth quarter of 2006 and hit an eleven month low last November, but the pattern in First Quarter 2007 was more two sided. Some steepening of the yield curve was noted during First Quarter 2007.

Housing persists as a major focus and potentially the largest threat to the US economy. The February housing report did exhibit something of a bounce in housing as starts rose 9% in February 2007 after falling 14% in January 2007. The more forward-looking housing permits declined for the twelfth time in thirteen months. Housing starts are down more than 26% and housing permits more than 28% from 2006, to put the situation in perspective. In addition, inventories are burdensome and the median home sale price fell over 1% year-on-year. Ongoing concerns in the sub-prime mortgage sector had an impact on the housing sector, but its potential spread into the prime mortgage sector seems to have been contained for the moment.

On the inflation front, the Core Personal Consumption Price Index, one of the Fed’s closely watched measures, rose 0.3% in February 2007, the most since August 2006 and most importantly year-on-year it rose above the Fed’s target. The Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) was up 0.4% and the Core CPI rose 0.2% as food and energy prices climbed. During First Quarter 2007, food is up dramatically within the CPI. Meanwhile, the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) has also risen, unexpectedly jumping 1.8% in February 2007, with the Core rising 0.4% during that same period.

Fourth quarter 2006 Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) was revised upwards slightly but economists forecast the first quarter 2007 figures to remain steady. Healthy unemployment data from the fourth quarter of 2006 extended into First Quarter 2007, including an increase in non-farm payrolls and a decline to 4.4% in the unemployment rate. Consumer Confidence numbers were off a bit in the quarter, but remained relatively strong. Retail sales were relatively weak for the quarter, but still above year ago levels. Manufacturing indices were mixed but construction spending held well. As the second quarter begins, the US economy seems to be lagging as indicated in the International Monetary Fund projections while Asia and Europe appear considerably more buoyant.

The Eurozone’s economy seems to have solid momentum, as does the UK, after a strong First Quarter 2007 performance. Not surprisingly, the euro rose to a two-year high. Global imbalances were a focus in the quarter, evidenced particularly by the yen carry trade. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) held rates steady at the April meeting after hiking them 25 basis points in March, and ECB President Trichet sounded hawkish in his latest commentary. The Bank of England increased rates 25 basis points in January to 5.25%. The Swiss National Bank also increased rates 25 basis points to 2.25%. Of note, European and Asian equity markets surged late in the first quarter and featured strong earnings and robust merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity.

The Bank of Japan continues to pursue a conservative policy as it remained on hold in April after a 0.25% increase in February. The Japanese economy displayed a mixed pattern of economic data that shows the economy generally improving, albeit modestly, with little inflation threat. China continued its expansion, growing over 10% in the quarter despite forecasts from many of a significant slowdown. The People’s Bank of China has been in a tightening mode, but this has not slowed the growth pace. The Bank of Canada was on hold during the quarter. However, there is speculation that the Reserve Bank of Australia could raise rates in May.

 

32


Currencies: The US Dollar ended a negative month and quarter on a weak note after the US imposed trade sanctions on paper imports against China, the first time in 23 years that US duty law has been applied to imports from that country. Some describe the move as a potential watershed event in US/People’s Republic of China relations; currency traders viewed the action as important. Throughout February and March, the yen was the currency in focus, with the carry trade drawing the most attention. While the attention was warranted at the time, the “crisis” quieted by the end of March.

The euro closed the quarter with a slight gain from year-end. Mostly strong European Union (“EU”) economic data were noted, including solid numbers for the German economy, considered the region’s “engine of growth.” The German VAT increase has not caused the dire consequences some projected. German unemployment fell to a six-year low, while data from France and Italy has been mostly buoyant. The British pound closed out the quarter modestly higher over the 2006 finish. The Chinese yuan gained against the dollar in the first quarter.

The latest US Trade Report showed the nation’s deficit narrowing in January, the fourth narrowing in five months. Exports hit record levels and imports declined slightly. Capital goods exports achieved record levels but the petroleum deficit widened. The deficit with China widened, while the deficit with the EU was the lowest since January 2004.

Energies: Crude oil futures were mixed during the quarter, but finished up slightly overall. March featured an increased terror premium, mostly related to the Iran/UK naval hostage situation. OPEC production was supportive and the latest Department of Energy (“DOE”) data show crude inventories slightly lower than last year. A series of refinery outages, some expected maintenance and some unanticipated repairs added to the bullish scenario for crude prices. Buoyant product demand and reduced imports also lent support. Gasoline futures finished the quarter up strongly. Despite a recent surge in pump prices, demand remains slightly higher than last year. Lower overall European gasoline production and the various US refinery outages point to continuing tight supplies, supported by strong crude prices.

Heating oil prices ended the quarter more than 11% higher than they were at the start of 2007. The DOE reports that inventories are below last season’s, while demand remains near 2006 levels. The winter temperature overall was slightly above normal but the February cold snap increased demand considerably.

Natural gas prices were quite volatile during the first quarter of the year and ended up over 17% higher than at the start of the year. The weather will play a key role in the coming weeks; El Niño years have historically led to warmer than normal summers, a potentially bullish influence to accompany forecasters’ predictions of an active hurricane season.

Grains: The corn market saw a 23% increase in prices overall for the quarter. However, after a robust start spurred on by bullish USDA Supply/Demand reports in January and February, March brought no new data and the market began to fade. On March 30th, the release of the annual Planting Intentions Report drove prices sharply lower with its estimates of a 15% increase in estimated corn acreage. The soybean market went into a sideways stall during March, in deference to the price-appreciating pattern seen during the first two months of the quarter. The increase in corn acreage came at the expense of many other crops, not the least of which was soybeans, projected by the report to be down 11% in acreage. In addition, the auspices of a threatening hurricane season, combined with this summer’s expected El Niño conditions, has some market participants questioning supply predictions. Wheat prices broke down through the quarter’s supporting price floor during March. Given the ongoing drought conditions in Australia, one of the world’s largest wheat growing and exporting nations, and the expected higher corn prices that will necessitate longer cattle grazing, farmers are reported to be intending to increase plantings by 10%. Cotton prices languished in a range for the entire quarter. Not even a surprising 20% plantings report reduction in cotton acreage could spur the market, given the current supply overhang stemming from the non-recourse Loan Program provisions.

Indices: US equity markets turned in mixed and volatile performance for the quarter as a whole. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended in negative territory, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices managed meager gains. The UK/Iran political crisis, fears surrounding the Japanese yen carry trade, imposition of

trade sanctions on China and sub-prime mortgage market concerns were all major issues affecting the markets. Uncertainty was one of the buzzwords of the quarter, but US and global market inflows and spectacular M&A activity pointed in the bullish direction.

The brisk flow of foreign capital into European equities during the quarter was also a contributing factor in the increase in European equities. Heavy M&A, solid earnings and mostly buoyant EU and UK economic data led the way from a fundamental perspective.

Asian equities experienced a volatile ride in the quarter, but after being under severe pressure due to carry trade and liquidity related factors in February and into early March, they rallied back strongly to all-time highs in late March.

Interest Rates: US treasuries engaged in erratic and, at times, volatile trading patterns in March, but ended the quarter higher overall. Early in the month, bonds attracted considerable flight to safety and risk aversion support as related to carry trade and sub-prime concerns but that lessened considerably by month’s end with some of the buying reversed. The final week of March saw the yield curve steepening with the majority of the move at the long end. Housing remains a primary concern and perhaps the greatest risk to the US economy.

Outside of the US, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) raised rates in March as but held steady in April as they look to slow ample liquidity and growth in Germany, France and Italy. ECB President Trichet expressed concerns about demand growth and increasing wage demands, particularly in Germany. The Bank of England held rates unchanged at both the March and April meetings. Recent UK inflation data has shown improvement, lessening the potential for a near term rate hike. The Bank of Japan was also on hold given that recent economic data from Japan has been mixed. In China, the People’s Bank continues to tighten liquidity as the economy roars ahead at a near 11% GDP pace. The Bank of Canada and Reserve Bank of Australia were on hold during the quarter.

Metals: Both gold and silver prices struggled a bit in March, but continued their overall upward trend during the quarter. Platinum prices ended higher for the quarter, with increased volatility. Sister metal palladium also rose on buoyant industrial demand. Copper prices were highly volatile during the first quarter, as virtually all commodities were impacted by the global liquidity crunch related primarily to the yen carry trade. Import data from China has signaled continued strong demand. Nickel prices surged over 42% during the quarter on continued supply deficits. Demand levels for stainless steel continue to expand. Aluminum ended the quarter virtually unchanged and has been one of the quietest of the metal markets. Zinc prices fell over 20% during the quarter mostly due to high levels of exports from China. Lead prices advanced as did tin prices, the latter impacted somewhat by Indonesian supply disruptions.

Softs: Sugar prices fell over 15% during First Quarter 2007, reflecting a growing global surplus and slow physical sugar sales in March. Coffee prices also ended the quarter approximately 15% lower primarily due to improved crop prospects from Brazil. Cocoa prices, on the other hand, rose to their highest levels since May of 2003 on estimates of a smaller than expected West African crop yield and indications that end users are not well hedged. Live cattle prices rose slightly for the quarter. However, improved feeding conditions in the Midwest dampened enthusiasm somewhat. Although hogs have benefited from recent rises in retail beef prices, hog prices during the quarter were weighed down with seasonally slack demand and the USDA corn report.

First Quarter 2006

Markets in both the U.S. and Europe seemed to overlook numerous geopolitical issues in the first quarter of 2006.

In the U.S., a major event for the first quarter was the transition in Federal Reserve (“Fed”) leadership from Alan Greenspan to Ben Bernanke. For months prior to the transition there was concern that the change could result in considerable volatility in fixed income and equity markets. The transition, however, appears seamless.

 

34


For much of the first quarter, the answer to the question of when the Fed might be approaching the end of the rate hike cycle changed depending on the latest economic data. By quarter’s end it became apparent that the Fed was not finished, and that there were likely two, and possibly three, additional 25 basis points moves to come. Yields reflected this as the benchmark 10-year Note moved from 4.395% at the end of 2005 to 4.853% at the end of March 2006. The 2-year Note stood at 4.845% at the end of the quarter, versus 4.535% at the end of 2005. The reintroduction of the 30-year bond in February proved to be a success, with strong foreign bidding. In regard to the yield curve, Chairman Bernanke stated on numerous occasions that the inverted curve was “not a harbinger of deteriorating economic fundamentals, but rather related to strong foreign demand.” The yield curve inversion between the 2 and 10-year Notes was as much as 16 basis points in early March, but as the second quarter began, the curve was out of inversion.

The first quarter economic data was positive with limited inflation. Fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) was revised up to 1.7%. The Conference Board’s March Consumer Confidence reading of 107.2 showed a strong consumer sector, despite higher gas prices. The first quarter saw solid growth in durable goods and factory orders, and manufacturing confidence indicators were upbeat. Housing concerns persisted, and there is evidence of some slowing as mortgage rates increase, but a housing bubble seems to have been averted.

Equity markets finished the first quarter on a strong note, after a mixed pattern in January and February. The S&P 500 had its best first quarter in 7 years with a 3.7% gain, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 3.7%. NASDAQ led the first quarter rally with a 6.1% gain. The U.S. dollar was volatile in the first quarter. The Japanese yen finished March at 117.68 versus the U.S. dollar, little changed from the end of December, while the Euro was at 1.2116 versus the U.S. dollar, down 2.4% for the quarter.

The Eurozone showed evidence of economic improvement in the first quarter. Data was mostly positive, with a few exceptions such as German Unemployment at 11.4%. On the other hand, German business confidence, as measured by the widely followed IFO Indicator, rose to a 15-year high of 105.4 in March. Data emanating from France and other Euro nations was mostly positive. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) raised rates twice in the last four months, and at least two additional moves are anticipated. Eurozone CPI has been advancing at around 2.3%, above the 2.0% ECB target, which adds to the probability of a rate hike.

In addition to steady economic growth, European equity markets soared in the first quarter as international fund managers were active buyers. In the first quarter, the DAX rose 10.4%, the CAC rose 10.7% and the Stoxx 600, a broad measure of various European equity exchanges, was up 7.9%. Oil in excess of $60 per barrel appears to have caused less impact on global growth than anticipated. Europe had been thought to be more vulnerable than the U.S. but that has not been the case as energy’s percentage of GDP has declined materially in recent years.

The Bank of England held rates steady, as the U.K. lagged the other European Union countries. The British pound finished the quarter slightly higher versus the U.S. dollar and the FTSE was up 6.2%.

The major economic development in Japan was the end of that nation’s long-standing deflationary period. In late March, the Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) took the first steps toward ending their “ultra-easy” monetary policy. The BOJ did not, however, alter its zero interest rate policy. The Japanese banking system continues to recover, and the Nikkei increased 5.9% in the first quarter.

Elsewhere in Asia, China remains strong with GDP growth in excess of 9%. The Chinese currency revaluation is progressing slowly. Korea maintained a strong growth trend for the period, but the Bank of Korea held rates unchanged at its most recent meeting. India continues to emerge as an economic power.

The natural resource oriented economies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand continue to perform well from an economic standpoint, but their currencies did not reflect this. The Bank of Canada continued to raise rates, helping the Canadian dollar to reach a 14-year high of 87.9 U.S. cents in February but then began to weaken to around 86.5 cents. The Australian and New Zealand Dollars were hurt by tighter global liquidity as an international monetary tightening trend emerged. New Zealand’s currency moved to a 22 month low around 60.5 U.S. cents while the Australian dollar dipped to an 18 month low of 70.73 cents.

 

35


Currencies: Currency sector trading was difficult in the first quarter due to considerable market volatility. At quarter end, the U.S. dollar had gained approximately 2.3% versus the Euro, despite two rate hikes in four months from the ECB and the rising U.S. deficits. The federal deficit hit a record $119 billion in February, while the fourth quarter current account deficit widened by 21.3% to a record $224.9 trillion. The Japanese yen ended March at 117.68 versus the U.S. dollar, virtually unchanged from December’s 117.80 but well ahead of February’s 115.74, as the BOJ implemented initial steps toward moving away from their long-standing “ultra-easy” monetary stance. The Japanese fiscal year ended on March 31 and the yen benefited from some late quarter repatriation. The Chinese yuan strengthened to 8.017 versus the U.S. dollar compared to 8.0369 at the end of February, and the lowest since China dropped its long-standing peg to the U.S. dollar last summer. Mounting political pressure and tariff threats have been keeping Chinese officials on the defensive but progress remains slow. The yen was a beneficiary of the yuan’s movement.

Energies: There was a lot of activity in the petroleum sector from both a geopolitical and supply/demand perspective. Concerns surrounding Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, seemingly endless violence and civil war like conditions in Iraq, the uncertainty surrounding Hamas in the Palestinian territory and the ongoing Nigerian civil unrest created an atmosphere of uncertainty. These geopolitical concerns were supportive of prices for crude oil, unleaded gasoline and heating oil in the first quarter.

Unleaded gasoline also got a boost due to the fact that repairs at Hovensa Oil’s St. Croix refinery, the second largest refinery in the Western Hemisphere, are taking longer than anticipated. With several other refineries non-operational due to necessary periodic maintenance, critical times could lie ahead for unleaded gasoline where current supplies are ample but not overly above normal. Unfortunately, prices at the pump have been rising and will continue to increase as refiners strain to meet new mandated EPA requirements. However, the consumer continues to show little price resistance as consumption ran about 2% ahead of last year during March.

Natural gas suffered the biggest loss in the first quarter in the sector. Given that natural gas is almost exclusively a U.S. domestic market, it failed to benefit from the above geopolitical concerns and focused mostly on supply/demand considerations, which are negative.

Grains: The sector was mixed for the quarter. Corn and wheat both started the year on a weak note after end-of-year-rallies. The price retreats abated towards the end of January, when prices reversed, and proceeded to rally through the month of February and into March, when improved weather conditions across the growing regions resulted in increased producer selling pressure on prices. Conversely, soybean prices found little in the way of price support during the first quarter of 2006, including an absence of Chinese interest in buying U.S. Soybeans.

Indices: After trading in a variable pattern with modest gains for much of January and February, U.S. equity markets turned in a solid March to finish the first quarter on a positive note. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 3.7%, and the NASDAQ rallied 6.1%. Stronger than expected earnings and the brisk pace of merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity were two of the underlying factors supporting the equity market strength.

Major European and Asian equity markets were even stronger. Germany’s DAX finished the first quarter up 10.4% and France’s CAC finished the first quarter up 10.7% on generally positive data and improving business confidence combined with a strong run of M&A activity. Meanwhile, despite mostly lackluster economic activity, London’s FTSE rose 6.2%. Asian markets featured a surge in the Nikkei in March, closing at 17,059, the highest monthly close since August 2000. Japan has persisted as a favorite of international fund managers for many months and other Asian markets are also experiencing strong interest.

 

36


Interest Rates: The first quarter saw the end of the tenure of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan. In his first days after assuming his role of Chairman, Mr. Bernanke made it clear that he would, at least initially, extend the philosophy of his predecessor. He also made it clear that he is not soft on inflation as the first FOMC meeting under his leadership issued a statement that leaned modestly to the tightening side. Prior to the meeting, there was a growing perception the Fed was about finished in the rate hike cycle, but after the statement it became apparent that the Fed would probably raise rates two or three more times. Early in March, the inversion of the yield curve, which was initiated at the end of January, was further extended, and at one point, the 2-year yield was as much as 16 points over the 10-year. By the end of March, the curve inversion disappeared.

In Europe, the ECB raised rates twice and subsequent statements from ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet have strongly hinted at a further tightening of monetary policy. Eurozone economic data was improved and high oil prices were doing little to thwart growth or confidence from the consumer or business. Most major European equity markets reached record levels. The U.K. lagged on the economic front, and no rate changes are anticipated in the near future.

In Japan, the BOJ initiated the process of gradually moving away from the nation’s long-standing “ultra easy” monetary policy. However, the BOJ did not alter the zero interest rate policy. Japan is exiting a long period of deflation and recent economic data have been encouraging.

The Bank of Canada extended its rate hike cycle with another 25 point increase and further increases are a near certainty. Korea and Australia may also move to tighten monetary policy.

Metals: Base and precious metals had a strong first quarter. After rising over 60% in 2005, copper rose another 27% in the first quarter of 2006. In addition to the strong demand patterns from China, Japan and India, there were significant problems on the supply side in the first quarter. These included an ongoing strike at Groupo Mexico and serious production constraints in Indonesia, Zambia and Chile. Zinc also had an exceptionally strong quarter, rising 39%. The rest of the base metals benefited from the overall strength in copper and zinc. Aluminum was up 10% and nickel was up 12.5% for the quarter.

Meanwhile, gold rose 13% for the quarter and traded at a 25-year high. Geopolitical concerns surrounding Iran, Iraq and the newly elected Palestinian government combined with higher oil prices to stabilize gold. Silver followed gold higher and also benefited from the anticipated launch of the silver ETF.

Softs: After rising 62% last year, sugar rallied 21% in the first quarter of 2006. The market is experiencing a supply/demand deficit, including a recent surge in Chinese orders. The demand for ethanol continues to increase, and with crude oil prices showing little inclination to retreat, demand could accelerate. Brazil continues to divert a large percentage of its output toward ethanol.

The reinstatement of the Japanese ban on U.S. beef imports hit the live cattle market and prices fell almost 15% for the quarter. Live hogs did not fare much better, falling almost 10% for the quarter. Asian demand was decent but supply was more than ample.

Sector Performance

Due to the nature of Registrant’s trading activities, a period-to-period comparison of its trading results is not meaningful. However, a discussion of Registrant’s trading results for the major sectors in which Registrant traded for First Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2006 are presented below.

Class II shares were not outstanding as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Registrant’s trading gains (losses) before commissions and related fees during First Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2006 were $(209,971) and $28,767, respectively.

 

38


Registrant’s average net asset level increased during the First Quarter of 2007 in comparison to the First Quarter of 2006 primarily due to effect of subscriptions, offset by negative trading performance.

Interest income is earned on the average daily equity maintained with the clearing broker at competitive interest rates and, therefore, varies weekly according to interest rates, trading performance and redemptions. Interest income during the First Quarter 2007 was approximately $25,000 an increase of approximately $20,000 as compared to the First Quarter 2006 primarily due to higher interest rates and an increase in average net assets during the First Quarter 2007 as compared to the First Quarter 2006. Interest income was approximately $5,000 for the First Quarter 2006.

Commissions are calculated on Registrant’s Net Asset Value at the end of each week and therefore, vary according to weekly trading performance and redemptions. Other transaction fees consist of National Futures Association, exchange and clearing fees as well as floor brokerage costs and give-up charges, which are based on the number of trades the Trading Advisor executes, as well as which exchange, clearing firm or bank on, or through, which the contract is traded. Commissions and other transaction fees during the First Quarter 2007 were approximately $1,800, an increase of approximately $700 as compared to First Quarter 2006 due primarily to an increase in average net asset levels due to subscriptions. Commissions were approximately $1,100 for First Quarter 2006.

Management fees are calculated on the net asset value of Registrant’s investment in the Trading Vehicle at the end of each month, and therefore, are affected by monthly trading performance and redemptions. Management fees to the Trading Advisor during the First Quarter 2007 were approximately $13,000, an increase of approximately $10,000 as compared to First Quarter 2006 due primarily to an increase in average net asset value due to subscriptions as discussed above. Management fees to the Trading Advisor were approximately $3,000 in First Quarter 2006.

The Registrant pays the Managing Owner a management fee calculated on Registrant’s net asset value at the beginning of each month, and therefore, such fee is affected by monthly trading performance, contributions and redemptions. Management fees to the Managing Owner during the First Quarter 2007 were approximately $3,000, an increase of approximately $2,000 as compared to First Quarter 2006 due primarily to an increase in average net asset value due to subscriptions as discussed above. Management fees to the Managing Owner were approximately $1,000 for First Quarter 2006.

Incentive fees, which are based on the “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) generated by the Trading Advisor, are accrued monthly and are ultimately determined as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar quarter. Incentive fees during the First Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2006 were $0 and $2,500, respectively.

Registrant pays a service fee (“Service Fee”) with respect to Class I units, monthly, equal to 1/12 of 2% ( 2% per annum) of the Net Asset Value per unit of the outstanding Class I units as of the beginning of the month. The service fee is paid directly by Registrant to the selling agent, Kenmar Securities Inc. (“Selling Agent”), an affiliate of the Managing Owner. The Selling Agent is responsible for paying all commissions owing to the correspondent selling agents, who are entitled to receive from the Selling Agent an initial commission equal to 2% of the initial Net Asset Value per Unit of each Class I unit sold by them, payable on the date such Class I units are purchased and, commencing with the 13th month after the purchase of a Class I unit, an ongoing monthly commission equal to 1/12th of 2% (2% per annum) of the net asset value per Unit as of the beginning of the month of the Class I units sold by them. All unitholders will also pay the Selling Agent a monthly sales commission (“Sales Commission”) equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% annually) of the net asset value of the outstanding Units as of the beginning of each month. Service Fees and Sales Commissions during the First Quarter 2007 were approximately $5,000 and $5,000, respectively, an increase of approximately $2,000 and $4,000 respectively, as compared to First Quarter 2006 due primarily to an increase in net asset value due to subscriptions as discussed above. In the First Quarter 2006, Service Fees and Sales Commissions were approximately $3,000 and $1,000, respectively.

Operating expenses include accounting, audit, tax and legal fees as well as printing and postage costs related to reports sent to Limited Owners. For the First Quarter 2007, operating expenses were approximately $8,000, an increase of approximately $6,000 as compared to First Quarter 2006 due primarily to increased administrative fees in the First Quarter 2007. Operating Expenses for the First Quarter 2006 were approximately $2,000.

Offering costs are advanced by the Managing Owner and subject to reimbursement by Registrant, subject to certain limitations. For a further discussion of these payments, see Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Offering costs reimbursed by Registrant to the Managing Owner for the First Quarter 2007 were approximately $3,000, an increase of approximately $2,000 as compared to the amount reimbursed by Registrant to the Managing Owner in the First Quarter 2006 due primarily to an increase in the net asset value due to subscriptions as discussed above. Offering costs reimbursed to the Managing Owner for the First Quarter 2006 were approximately $1,000.

Inflation

Inflation has had no material impact on the operations or on the financial condition of Registrant from inception through March 31, 2007.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2007, Registrant had not utilized special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers, such as our accountants, undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of Registrant. While Registrant’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on Registrant’s financial position.

Registrant’s contractual obligations are with the Managing Owner and the Trading Vehicle and, as a result of its investment in the Trading Vehicle, with the Trading Advisor and the Trading Vehicle’s commodity broker. Management fees payable by the Registrant to the Trading Advisor and the Managing Owner are calculated as a fixed percentage of Registrant’s Net Asset Value. Incentive fees payable by the Trading Vehicle to the Trading Advisor are at a fixed rate, calculated as a percentage of the Trading Vehicle’s “New High Net Trading Profits”. As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount to be paid for futures periods as Net Asset Values and “New High Net Trading Profits” are not known until a future date. Commissions payable to the Trading Vehicle’s commodity broker are based on a cost per executed trade and, as such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amounts that will be required under the brokerage agreement, as the level of executed trades are not known until a future date. These agreements are effective for one-year terms, renewable automatically for additional one-year terms unless terminated. Additionally, these agreements may be terminated by either party thereto for various reasons. For a further discussion of Registrant’s contractual obligations, see Notes 1, 3 and 4 to Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is filed as an exhibit to Registrant’s annual report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Managing Owner carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of certain officers of the Managing Owner, including the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration (who, in these capacities, function as the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Principal Financial/Accounting Officer, respectively, of Registrant), of the design and operation of Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Managing Owner’s Co-Chief

 

40


Executive Officers and Director of Fund Administration concluded that Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

In designing and evaluating Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), the Managing Owner recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives, as Registrant’s are designed to do, and the Managing Owner necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Registrant believes that its disclosure controls and procedures provide such reasonable assurance.

There have not been any changes in Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this Report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting.
