BUSINESS. ---------- (a). GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. Tudor Fund For Employees L.P., ------------------------------- a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on November 22, 1989. The business and objective of the Partnership is to generate appreciation of its assets through speculative trading of commodity futures, forwards and option contracts and other commodity interests ("commodity interests"). Second Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on April 2, 1996 ("SML" or the "General Partner"), is responsible for selecting and monitoring the commodity trading advisors and commodity brokers used by the Partnership and for performing all administrative services necessary to the Partnership's operations. The General Partner's main business office is located at 600 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, telephone (203) 863-6700, facsimile (203) 863-8600. Prior to April 1996, Second Management Company Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SMCI"), was the general partner of the Partnership. SML is the successor-in-interest to SMCI by virtue of a merger with SMCI. In connection with a public offering of 10,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest (the "Units"), an S-1 Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 20, 1990. Beginning on June 22, 1990, the Partnership solicited initial subscriptions for Units at an offering price of $1,000 per Unit, with a minimum subscription of $1,000. At the initial closing held on July 2, 1990, the Partnership sold a total of 421 Units for an aggregate capital contribution of $421,000 and 400 units of general partnership interest for an aggregate capital contribution of $400,000 and commenced trading activities. During the continuing offering, Units are offered for sale at quarterly closings at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the opening of business on the first business day of the month in which the General Partner accepts the subscription. The minimum subscription is $1,000. Amounts in excess of this minimum must be contributed in increments of $1,000. Management. The General Partner conducts and manages the business of the - ---------- Partnership. The General Partner is authorized to delegate complete trading authority of all of the Partnership's Net Assets to one or more trading advisors and has done so pursuant to a management agreement between Tudor Investment Corporation ("TIC") and the Partnership (the "Management Agreement"). The Management Agreement may be terminated at any time upon twenty-four hours written notice to the other party. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may engage and compensate from the funds of the Partnership, such persons as the General Partner deems advisable, including any person or entity affiliated with the General Partner. The General Partner is also authorized to retain commodity brokers. Other responsibilities of the General Partner include, but are not limited to, the following: determining whether the Partnership will make distributions; administering redemptions of Limited Partners' Units; preparing periodic and annual reports for the Limited Partners; preparing reports, filings, registrations and other documents required by applicable regulatory bodies, exchanges, or boards; depositing the Partnership's assets in an account or accounts at banks or brokers selected by the General Partner; directing the investment of the Partnership's assets; executing various documents on behalf of the Partnership and the Limited Partners; and supervising the liquidation of the Partnership if an event causes the termination of the Partnership to occur. Professional and other fees. The Partnership pays its ordinary administrative - --------------------------- expenses, including the ordinary and recurring legal, accounting and auditing expenses and expenses incurred in connection with preparing and printing reports and tax information for Limited Partners and regulatory authorities; mailing costs and filing fees. Such expenses totaled $100,679, $100,409 and $97,751 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. Brokerage commissions. The Partnership pays its brokers brokerage commissions - --------------------- and fees in connnection with its trading activities. Such expenses totaled $123,399, $158,461 and $187,625 for the years ended Decmeber 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. Organizational and offering expenses. The General Partner paid $183,220 in - ------------------------------------ connection with the organization of the Partnership and the initial offering of Units. The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner for $48,200 of organizational costs over the first 60 months of the Partnership's operations. The Partnership also reimbursed the General Partner for $106,728 of offering costs over the first 12 months of its operations. The General Partner will continue to bear the costs of preparing, printing and mailing registration statements, prospectuses and reports for solicitation purposes. Compensation of the Trading Advisor. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the - ----------------------------------- Partnership pays TIC a quarterly incentive fee equal to 12% of the "Net Trading Profits" (as defined in the Registration Statement) earned on the Partnership's assets as of the end of each fiscal quarter and a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% of the Net Assets (a 2% annual rate). Effective August 1, 1995, TIC waived its right to receive incentive and management fees attributable to Units held at the beginning of each month by the Tudor Investment Corporation 401(k) Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "TIC 401(k) Plan"), a qualified plan organized for the benefit of employees of TIC and certain of its affiliates. For definitions of the terms "Management Agreement", "Net Trading Profits", "Charges and Expenses", "Trading Managers", "Net Asset Value per Unit" and "Net Assets", refer to the Registration Statement. The General Partner estimates that, considering the above charges, the Partnership may have to generate gross profits of up to approximately 5% of the Partnership's average annual Net Assets, depending on trading volume and interest income, simply to break even. It is anticipated that the majority of these fees and expenses will be brokerage commissions and foreign exchange transactions fees (estimated at up to 3% of the Partnership's average annual Net Assets), even though the General Partner endeavors to negotiate rates that are reasonable based on comparable commodity pools and industry standards. Commodity Brokers. The Partnership's commodity trading accounts are carried by - ----------------- its commodity brokers, including Prudential Securities Incorporated, Bear Stearns Securities Corp., CS First Boston Corporation, Smith Barney Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited, Daiwa Securities America Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co, Cargill Investor Services, Inc., J.P. Morgan Futures, Inc., Merrill Lynch Futures Inc., BZW Futures, E.D. & F. Man International Inc. and Salomon Brothers Inc. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may appoint new commodity brokers at any time. The commodity brokers are responsible for holding and maintaining the Partnership's funds, securities, commodity interest contracts and other property; executing and/or clearing trades for the Partnership's accounts; and record keeping and preparing and transmitting to the Partnership daily confirmations of transactions and monthly statements of account, calculating equity balances and margin requirements for the Partnership's account and other similar administrative functions. Foreign Exchange Dealer. Since January 1996, the Partnership has effected all - ----------------------- of its foreign exchange spot and forward contract transactions with and through the foreign exchange forward trading desk of Bellwether Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("BPL"). Prior to that date, all such transactions were effected by Bellwether Partners Inc., a Delaware corporaiton ("BPI"). BPL is the successor-in-interest to BPI by virtue of a merger with BPI and is an affiliate of both the General Partner and TIC. Regulation. Congress enacted the Commodity Exchange Act as amended, (the "CE - ---------- Act"), to regulate trading in commodity interests, the exchanges on which they are traded, the individual brokers who are members of such exchanges and the commodity professionals and commodity brokerage houses that trade in these commodity interests. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") is an independent federal agency which administers the CE Act and is authorized to promulgate rules thereunder. Under the CE Act, the CFTC is empowered, among other things, to (i) hear and adjudicate customer complaints against all individuals and firms registered or subject to registration under the CE Act; (ii) seek injunctions and restraining orders; (iii) issue orders to cease and desist; and (iv) levy substantial fines. Transactions in spot or forward contracts or on exchanges located outside the United States may not be within the jurisdiction of the CFTC, and to the extent that the Partnership engages in such transactions, it may be engaging in "unregulated" transactions. The General Partner is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator ("CPO"). Both the General Partner and TIC are registered with the CFTC as commodity trading advisors ("CTA") as defined in the CE Act. As such, each is subject to regulation by the CFTC. If the registration of the General Partner were suspended, revoked or not renewed, the Partnership would no longer be able to trade until a substitute general partner could be duly elected and registered. If the registration of TIC were suspended, revoked or not renewed, TIC would not be permitted by the General Partner to advise the Partnership. The CFTC has adopted extensive regulations affecting CPOs and CTAs which, among other things, require distribution of disclosure documents to new customers, require the retention of current trading and other records, prohibit CPOs from commingling pool assets with those of the operator or its other customers and require CPOs to provide their customers with monthly account statements and annual reports. Limited Partners are afforded certain rights for reparations under the CE Act. Limited Partners may also be able to maintain a private right of action for certain violations of the CE Act. The CFTC has adopted rules implementing the reparations provision of the CE Act which provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparations award with the CFTC for violation of the CE Act against a floor broker, futures commission merchant, CTA, CPO or their respective associated persons. In order to prevent excessive speculation and attempted undue concentrated control in certain markets ("market corners"), the CFTC and certain United States exchanges have imposed speculative position limits on transactions in certain commodity interest contracts. In addition, certain exchanges have set limits on the total net positions that may be held by a commodity broker. Position limits are subject to certain exemptions, such as bona fide hedging transactions. While foreign exchanges do not generally impose position limits, such limits are set by many of the member firms. The Partnership is subject to the rules and regulations of the various exchanges on which it trades. The General Partner and TIC are members of the National Futures Association ("NFA"), a self-regulatory organization authorized by the CFTC. The NFA became operational in 1982 and has assumed certain functions which were previously the responsibility of the CFTC, (e.g., audits of registrants). Among other things, the NFA is responsible for all CFTC registrations; developing training and proficiency standards for members; and arbitrating disputes between members and their customers. (b). FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS. The Partnership's --------------------------------------------- business constitutes only one segment, a speculative commodity pool, for financial reporting purposes. (c). NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. --------------------------------- (1) See discussion under Item 1 (a) above. (i) - (ix): Not applicable. (x) Competition. The Partnership experiences and will continue to ----------- experience competition from publicly and privately offered commodity pools and other investment funds, such as mutual funds. The Partnership also competes with other customers of TIC and affiliates of the General Partner that trade proprietary trading accounts. Pursuant to TIC's trading methods, all commodity interest only accounts under management (other than proprietary accounts) are generally traded in a parallel fashion, with substantially equivalent trades made for all accounts on a proportional basis. When TIC trades commodity interest contracts on behalf of an investment pool or a customer with narrower or broader investment parameters, hedging, loss reduction, arbitrage and similar strategies often mandate that such accounts be traded in a manner that is not parallel with commodity interest only accounts. Thus, the Partnership is in competition with such accounts for the same or similar positions at a particular time in a particular market. The widespread utilization of trend-based and technical computerized trading methods by many participants in the commodities markets causes similar trades to be made at or about the same time, which will increase competition as described above for the Partnership. The General Partner and TIC have a conflict of interest in managing the Partnership because BPL receives brokerage commissions on foreign exchange forward contracts executed for the Partnership. There is no affiliation, and consequently there is no conflict of interest, between the clearing brokers and the General Partner, TIC or BPL. The Partnership trades in markets in competition with other traders whose assets are greater than the assets of the Partnership. (xi) - (xii): Not applicable. (xiii): The Partnership has no employees; however, the General Partner has arranged for TIC to fulfill its management and administrative responsibilities. (d). FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CORPORATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------- AND EXPORT SALES. The Partnership has engaged in the trading of commodity - ---------------- interest contracts on exchanges located in foreign countries and has derived significant revenue therefrom. See Note 7 included in the Partnership's financial statements together with auditors report attached hereto. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. ---------- The Partnership does not utilize any physical properties in the conduct of its business. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. ----------------- The Partnership is not aware of any pending material legal proceedings to which it is a party or to which any of its assets are subject. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF UNIT HOLDERS. ----------------------------------------------- To date, there have been no items which have been presented to the Unit holders. PART II. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S UNITS AND RELATED UNIT HOLDER MATTERS. -------------------------------------------------------------- There is no established public trading market for the Units. There have been no general distributions by the Partnership since its organization. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the sole discretion to determine what distributions, if any, the Partnership will make to its Partners. At each quarter end, Units are redeemable at the discretion of the Limited Partners. Redemption of units in $1,000 increments and full redemption of all units are made at 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit effective as of the last business day of any quarter as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Partial redemptions of units which would reduce the Net Asset Value of a Limited Partner's unredeemed Units to less than the minimum investment then required of new limited partners or such partner's initial investment, whichever is less, will be honored only to the extent of such limitation.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ------------------------------------------------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ----------------------------------- The Partnership commenced operations on July 2, 1990. From inception through March 1, 1997, the Partnership has received total Limited Partner contributions of $13,710,621. Total Limited Partner withdrawals for the same period were $9,462,777. In addition, the General Partner has contributed $1,900,000 since inception. The General Partner redeemed $2,000,000 on March 31, 1994 and $1,400,000 on December 31, 1996. The General Partner's equity interest in the Partnership as of March 1, 1997 was approximately $687,000, representing approximately 6.3% of the Partnership's equity. At March 1, 1997, the Partnership had a total of 102 Partners. As specified in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement dated May 22, 1996, the Partnership may accept investments from certain employee benefit plans of affiliates to the extent that such investment does not exceed 25% of the aggregate value of outstanding units, excluding units held by the General Partner and affiliates. On August 1, 1995, the Partnership accepted an initial investment of $99,306 from the TIC 401(k) Plan. As of March 1, 1997, the Partnership received since inception total TIC 401(k) Plan contributions of $636,823. The TIC 401(k) Plan's equity in the Partnership as of March 1, 1997 was approximately $771,000, representing approximately 7.1% of the Partnership equity or approximately 8.9% of the Partnership equity excluding Units held by the General Partner and affiliates. TIC has waived its right to receive management and incentive fees attributable to units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan. Furthermore, on August 1, 1995, BPL ceased charging commissions for transacting the Partnership's foreign exchange forward and commodity contracts. (1) LIQUIDITY. ---------- The Partnership's assets are deposited and maintained with BPL, banks or in trading accounts with clearing brokers, and are used by the Partnership as margin and collateral to engage in futures, option, and forward contract trading. The Partnership invests in U.S. Government obligations approved by the various contract markets to fulfill initial margin and collateral requirements. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, U.S. Government obligations with varying maturities through December 1997, represented approximately 72% and 52% of the total assets of the Partnership. The percentage that U.S. Government obligations bears to the total assets varies daily, as the market value of commodity interests contracts changes, as Government obligations are purchased or mature, and as the Partnership sells or redeems units. Since the Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures, options, forward contracts and other commodity interests contracts, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to maintain such liquid assets for margin and collateral purposes. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $545,860, $409,148 and $274,503 which represented 5.2%, 5.4% and 3.7% of average net assets. Increases in interest income were due both to higher rates on U.S. Government obligations available in 1996 and an increase in the Partnership's assets. In the context of the commodity or futures trading industry, cash and cash equivalents are part of the Partnership's inventory. Cash deposited with banks represented approximately 18% and 32% of the Partnership's assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The cash and U.S. Government obligations held at clearing brokers and banks satisfy the Partnership's need for cash on both a short-term and long-term basis including redemptions payable at December 31, 1996. Since futures contract trading generates a significant percentage of the Partnership's income, any restriction or limit on that trading may render the Partnership's investment in futures contracts illiquid. Most commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Pursuant to such regulations, during a single trading day, no trade may be executed at a price beyond the daily limits. If the price for a contract or a particular commodity has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the "daily limit", positions in such contracts can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Commodity prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its commodity positions and impose restrictions on redemptions. (2) CAPITAL RESOURCES. ------------------ The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any fixed assets. Redemptions and additional sales of units in the future will impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity interest contracts in subsequent periods. As the amount of capital changes, the size of the positions taken by the Partnership is adjusted. The Partnership is currently open to new investments which may be made quarterly. Such investments are limited to employees of TIC and its affiliates and certain employee benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the TIC 401(k) Plan. (3) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ---------------------- As of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Net Asset Value per Unit was $3,136.46, $2,863.75 and $2,198.53. This represents an increase of 9.52% or $272.71 per Unit for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to an increase of 30.26% or $665.22 per Unit for the year ended December 31, 1995 and an increase of 6.87% or $141.32 per Unit for the year ended December 31, 1994. Net trading gains and losses from strategies that use a variety of derivative financial instruments are recorded in the statements of income. The following table summarizes the components (in thousands) of trading gains and losses, net of commissions and fees, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994: 1996 1995 1994 ------ ------ ------ Exchange traded contracts: Interest rate futures and option contracts- Domestic $ 726 $ (48) $ 267 Foreign (450) 18 1,160 Foreign exchange contracts 591 1,077 23 Equity index futures- Domestic (544) (266) (158) Foreign 399 865 (301) Over-the-counter contracts: Forward currency contracts 131 414 (280) Non-derivative financial instruments (105) 29 (145) ----- ------ ------ $ 748 $2,089 $ 566 ===== ====== ====== Since the Partnership is a speculative trader in the commodity and futures markets, current year results are not comparable to the previous years. The Partnership's net trading gains and losses represent a return on average monthly net assets of 6.8%, 27.4% and 7.6% for the years ended 1996, 1995 and 1994. Brokerage commissions and fees were 1.1%, 2.1% and 2.5% of average monthly net assets for the years ended 1996, 1995 and 1994. Commission rates have decreased during the past three years because BPL no longer charges commissions for executing the Partnership's foreign exchange and commodity contracts. Incentive fees are paid quarterly based on Net Trading Profits as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement. For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, incentive fees were 22.2%, 9.3% and 11.8% of trading gains and losses, net of commissions and fees. The increase in 1996 was due to incentive fees earned on $1,587,073 of trading gains for the first six months of 1996. Trading gains of $866,300 need to be earned to recoup losses incurred during the last six months of 1996 prior to the Partnership earning any new incentive fees in 1997. Professional fees and other expenses increased during each of the past two years due to increases in legal, audit and bank charges. Inflation is not expected to be a major factor in the Partnership's operations, except that traditionally commodity markets have tended to be more active, and thus potentially more profitable, during times of high inflation. Since the commencement of the Partnership's trading operations in July 1990, inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's operations. ITEM 8.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. TUDOR FUND FOR EMPLOYEES L.P. ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 -------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ------------------------- Tudor Fund For Employees L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on November 22, 1989, and commenced trading operations on July 2, 1990. Second Management LLC (the "General Partner"), formerly Second Management Company, Inc., is the general partner of the Partnership. Ownership of limited partnership units is restricted to employees of Tudor Investment Corporation ("TIC") and its affiliates. The objective of the Partnership is to realize capital appreciation through speculative trading of commodity futures, forward and option contracts and other commodity interests ("commodity interests"). The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2010 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Duties of the General Partner - ----------------------------- The General Partner acts as the commodity pool operator of the Partnership and is responsible for the selection and monitoring of the commodity trading advisors and the commodity brokers used by the Partnership. The General Partner is also responsible for the performance of all administrative services necessary to the Partnership's operations. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Revenue Recognition - ------------------- Commodity interests are recorded on the trade date at the transacted contract price and are valued at market. Brokerage Commissions and Fees - ------------------------------ These expenses represent all brokerage commissions, exchange, National Futures Association and other fees incurred in connection with the execution of commodity interests trades. Commissions and fees associated with open trades at the end of the period are accrued on a round-turn basis. Incentive Fee - ------------- The Partnership pays TIC, an affiliate of the General Partner, as trading advisor, an incentive fee equal to 12% of the Net Trading Profits (as defined by the Limited Partnership Agreement) earned as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Effective August 1, 1995, TIC has waived its right to receive incentive fees attributable to units held at the beginning of each month by the Tudor Investment Corporation 401(k) Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "TIC 401(k) Plan"). Management Fee - -------------- The Partnership also pays TIC, for the performance of its duties, a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per annum) of the Partnership's net assets. Effective August 1, 1995, TIC waived its right to receive management fees attributable to units held at the beginning of each month by the TIC 401(k) Plan. Foreign Currency Translation - ---------------------------- Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year- end exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are calculated using daily exchange rates and are included in the accompanying statements of income. U.S. Government Obligations - --------------------------- The Partnership invests a varying amount of its assets in U.S. Treasury bills. These bills are held in commodity trading accounts and are used to fulfill initial margin requirements. U.S. Treasury bills, with varying maturities through December 1997, are valued in the statements of financial condition at original cost plus accrued discount, which approximates the market value. These bills have a face value of $9,000,000 and $5,000,000 (cost $8,548,403 and $4,782,246) at December 31, 1996 and 1995. Net Income Per Unit - ------------------- Net Income Per Unit is computed by dividing net income by the monthly average units outstanding at the beginning of each month. Use of Estimates - ---------------- Certain estimates, as determined by the General Partner, were used in the preparation of these financial statements. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform with current year presentation. 3. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS ---------------- Each partner, including the General Partner, has a capital account with an initial balance equal to the amount such partner paid for its units. The Partnership's net assets are determined monthly, and any increase or decrease from the end of the preceding month is added to or subtracted from the capital accounts of the partners based on the ratio that the balance of each capital account bears in relation to the balance of all capital accounts as of the beginning of the month. The number of units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan will be restated as necessary for management and incentive fees attributable to units held at the beginning of each month by the TIC 401(k) Plan to equate the per unit value of the TIC 401(k) Plan's capital account with the Partnership's per unit value. 4. REDEMPTION OF UNITS ------------------- At each quarter-end, units are redeemable at the discretion of the limited partner. Redemption of units in $1,000 increments and full redemption of all units are made at 100% of the net asset value per unit effective as of the last business day of any quarter as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Partial redemptions of units which would reduce the net asset value of a limited partner's unredeemed units to less than the minimum investment then required of new limited partners or such partner's initial investment, whichever is less, will be honored only to the extent of such limitation. 5. INCOME TAXES ------------ No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Partners are responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of revenue and expenses of the Partnership. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- The General Partner, due to its relationship with its affiliates and certain other parties, may enter into certain related party transactions. Bellwether Partners LLC ("BPL"), a Delaware limited liability company, formerly Bellwether Partners Inc., and an affiliate of the General Partner, is the Partnership's primary forward contract counterparty. Effective August 1, 1995, BPL ceased charging commissions for transacting the Partnership's foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts. During 1995 and 1994, the Partnership paid commissions of $44,921 and $48,631 to BPL. The Partnership typically has on deposit with BPL, as collateral for forward contracts, up to 20% of the Partnership's net assets. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership received $69,856, $45,659 and $22,681 in interest income for the amounts on deposit with BPL. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the amounts on deposit with BPL were $575,437 and $1,251,171 (including $16,352 in unrealized losses for 1996 and $29,090 in unrealized gains for 1995). Bellwether Futures LLC ("BFL"), a Delaware limited liability company, formerly Bellwether Futures Corporation, is an affiliate of the General Partner and is qualified to do business in Illinois. Effective January 1, 1996, BFL ceased collecting give-up fees from the Partnership as compensation for managing the execution of treasury bond futures by floor brokers on the Chicago Board of Trade. TIC, an affiliate of the General Partner, receives incentive and management fees as compensation for acting as trading advisor (Note 2). 7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET MARKET RISK --------------------------------------------------------- AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK -------------------------------- The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition through its trading of financial futures, forwards, swaps and exchange traded and negotiated over-the-counter options. Exchange traded futures and option contracts are marked-to-market daily, with variations in value settled on a daily basis with the exchange upon which they are traded and with the futures commission merchant through which the commodity futures and options are executed. The forwards are generally settled with the counterparty two days after the trade. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership held financial instruments with the following approximate aggregate notional values (000's omitted): 1996 1995 ------- ------- Exchange traded contracts: Interest rate futures and option contracts- Domestic $ 565 $ 2,409 Foreign 28,977 5,202 Foreign exchange contracts- Financial futures contracts 1,673 424 Forward currency contracts 3,399 4,788 Equity index futures- Domestic - 6,185 Foreign 505 1,926 Over-the-counter contracts: Forward currency contracts - 4,926 ------- ------- $35,119 $25,860 ======= ======= As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were no swaps outstanding. Notional amounts of these financial instruments are indicative only of the volume of activity and should not be used as a measure of market and credit risk.

The following table summarizes the components of trading gains and losses, net of commissions and fees, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 (000's omitted): 1996 1995 1994 ------ ------ ------ Exchange traded contracts: Interest rate futures and option contracts- Domestic $ 726 $ (48) $ 267 Foreign (450) 18 1,160 Foreign exchange contracts 591 1,077 23 Equity index futures- Domestic (544) (266) (158) Foreign 399 865 (301) Over-the-counter contracts: Forward currency contracts 131 414 (280) Non-derivative financial instruments (105) 29 (145) ----- ------ ------ $ 748 $2,089 $ 566 ===== ====== ====== In general, exchange traded futures and option contracts possess low credit risk as most exchanges act as principal to a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") on all commodity transactions. Furthermore, most global exchanges require FCMs to segregate client funds to insure ample customer protection in the event of an FCM's default. The Partnership monitors the creditworthiness of its FCMs and counterparties and, when deemed necessary, reduces its exposure to these FCMs and counterparties. The Partnership's exposure to credit risk associated with the nonperformance of these FCMs and counterparties in fulfilling contractual obligations can be directly impacted by volatile financial markets. A substantial portion of the Partnership's open financial futures positions were transacted with major international FCMs. BPL is the Partnership's primary forward contract counterparty (Note 6). Notwithstanding the risk monitoring and credit review performed by the Partnership with respect to its FCMs and counterparties, including BPL, there always is a risk of nonperformance. Generally, financial contracts can be closed out at the discretion of the trading advisor. An illiquid or closed market, however, could prevent the closeout of positions.
