The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period of the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

and managing owner. The fees are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. Management has determined that there was no risk of unrecoverable amounts, and therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided for as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

(d) Investment in DB Exchange Traded Funds

The Company’s investments in the DB Exchange Traded Funds consist of capital contributions in the general shares of the Funds and are accounted for using the equity method. The Company adjusts the carrying amount of the investments to recognize the Company’s share of earnings or losses of the investment. Distributions received from the investments reduce the carrying amount of the respective investments.

(e) Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company and did not elect to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company will not incur U.S. income taxes. No provision for federal, state, and local income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as its owner member is liable for income taxes, if any, on the Company’s income, loss, and other items, and there is no tax sharing arrangement between the Company and its owner member. Based on the effective tax rate of the Company’s owner member, the Company’s pro rata income tax expense would be approximately $5,100,000 and $4,000,000 for the federal tax, $1,200,000 and $900,000 for the New York State tax, and $1,300,000 and $1,000,000 for the New York City tax for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As the Company is not required to separately file its own returns, the following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Company’s parent, DB U.S. Financial Markets Holding Corporation, and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2007.

(f) Revenue Recognition

Fees for management services are recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Fees for management services are accrued for each of the Funds monthly.

(3) Related-Party Transactions

(a) Management Fees and Due from DB Exchange Traded Funds

The DBA and DBC Funds pay the Company a management fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.85% per annum of their net asset values

The DBO, DBS, DGL, DBB, DBE, DBP, DBV, UDN, and UUP Funds pay the Company a management fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum of their net asset values.
