Sassetti & Co. To The Partners Atlas Futures Fund, Limited Partnership Dover, Kent County, Delaware We have reviewed the balance sheet, including the schedule of investments, of ATLAS FUTURES FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP as of September 30, 2002 and the related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the balance sheet, including the schedule of investments, of ATLAS FUTURES FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP as of December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, partner's equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 16, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on these financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ Frank L.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Atlas Futures Fund, Limited Partnership (the Fund) was formed January 12, 1998 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund is engaged in the speculative trading of futures contracts in commodities, which commenced in October, 1999. Ashley Capital Management, Inc. is the general partner and commodity pool operator (CPO) of Atlas Futures Fund, Limited Partnership. The commodity trading advisor (CTA) is Clarke Capital Management, who has the authority to trade so much of the Fund's equity as is allocated to it by the General Partner. Income Taxes - In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting partnership financial statements, the financial statements do not include assets and liabilities of the partners, including their obligation for income taxes on their distributive shares of the net income of the Fund or their rights to refunds on its net loss. Registration Costs - Costs incurred for the initial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, National Futures Association (the "NFA") and the states where the offering was made were accumulated, deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of offering at the initial closing as part of the offering expenses. Recurring registration costs, if any, will be charged to expense as incurred. Revenue Recognition - Commodity futures contracts are recorded on the trade date and are reflected in the balance sheet at the difference between the original contract amount and the market value on the last business day of the reporting period. Market value of commodity futures contracts is based upon exchange or other applicable market best available closing quotations. Use of Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. ATLAS FUTURES FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (A Review) 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund considers only cash and money market funds to be cash equivalents. Net cash used in operating activities includes no cash payments for interest or income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. 2. GENERAL PARTNER DUTIES The responsibilities of the General Partner, in addition to directing the trading and investment activity of the Fund, including suspending all trading, includes executing and filing all necessary legal documents, statements and certificates of the Fund, retaining independent public accountants to audit the Fund, employing attorneys to represent the Fund, reviewing the brokerage commission rates to determine reasonableness, maintaining the tax status of the Fund as a limited partnership, maintaining a current list of the names, addresses and numbers of units owned by each Limited Partner and taking such other actions as deemed necessary or desirable to manage the business of the Partnership.

THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT The Limited Partnership Agreement provides, among other things, the following: Capital Account - A capital account shall be established for each partner. The initial balance of each partner's capital account shall be the amount of the initial contributions to the partnership. Monthly Allocations - Any increase or decrease in the Partnership's net asset value as of the end of a month shall be credited or charged to the capital account of each Partner in the ratio that the balance of each account bears to the total balance of all accounts. Any distribution from profits or partners' capital will be made solely at the discretion of the General Partners. ATLAS FUTURES FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (A Review) 3. THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT - CONTINUED Allocation of Profit and Loss for Federal Income Tax Purposes - As of the end of each fiscal year, the Partnership's capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss shall be allocated among the Partners, after having given effect to the fees of the General Partner and the Commodity Trading Advisors and each Partner's share of such items are includable in the Partner's personal income tax return. Redemption - No partner may redeem or liquidate any units until after the lapse of six months from the date of the investment. Thereafter, a Limited Partner may withdraw, subject to certain restrictions, any part or all of his units from the partnership at the Net Asset Value per Unit on the last day of any month with ten days prior written request to the General Partner. A redemption fee payable to the Partnership of a percentage of the value of the redemption request is charged during the first 24 months of investment pursuant to the following schedule: 4% if such request is received ten days prior to the last trading day of the sixth month after the date of the partner's investment in the Fund. 3% if such request is received during the seventh to twelfth month after the investment 2% if such request is received during the thirteenth to eighteenth month. 1% if such request is received during the nineteenth to twenty-fourth month. 0% thereafter. 4.

ATLAS FUTURES FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (A Review) 4. FEES - CONTINUED A management fee of 3% (annual rate) of the Fund's net assets allocated to each CTA to trade will be paid to each CTA and 1% of equity to the Fund's General Partner. Effective November 1, 2000, the management fee allocated to each CTA was decreased to 0% (annual rate) and the management fee allocated to the Fund's General Partner was increased to 2% (annual rate) of the Fund's net assets. An incentive fee of 20% of "new trading profits" will be paid to each CTA. "New trading profits" includes all income earned by each CTA and expense allocated to his activity. In the event that trading produces a loss, no incentive fees will be paid and all losses will be carried over to the following months until profits from trading exceed the loss. It is possible for one CTA to be paid an incentive fee during a quarter of a year when the Fund experienced a loss. Effective November 1, 2000, the incentive fee increased to 25% of "new trading profits." The Fund will pay fixed commissions of 9% (annual rate) of assets assigned to be traded, payable monthly, to the Introducing Broker affiliated with the General Partner. The Affiliated Introducing Broker will pay the costs to clear the trades to the futures commission merchant and all PIT Brokerage costs which shall include the NFA and exchange fees. 5. REALIZED GAIN ON EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS Certain trades executed by the Fund are denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on these transactions are recorded as futures trading gains or losses at the U. S. dollar equivalent on the date the trade is settled. Exchange rate fluctuation gain or loss is reflected when residual amounts of foreign currencies are reconverted to U. S. dollars. 6. PLEDGED ASSETS The U. S. Treasury Obligations and Cash in trading accounts are pledged as collateral for commodities trading on margin. ATLAS FUTURES FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (A Review) 7. CONCENTRATIONS The Fund maintains its cash balances at a high credit quality financial institution. The balances may, at times, exceed federally insured credit limits. 8. OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK As discussed in Note 1, the Fund is engaged in speculative trading of futures contracts in commodities. The carrying amounts of the Fund's financial instruments and commodity contracts generally approximate their fair values at September 30. Open commodity contracts had gross contract value of $93,764,073 on long positions and $396,060 on short positions at September 30, 2002. Open commodity contracts had gross contract value of $2,586,066 on long positions and $4,031,682 on short positions at December 31, 2001. Although the gross contract values of open commodity contracts represent market risk, they do not represent exposure to credit risk, which is limited to the current cost of replacing those contracts in a gain position. The unrealized gain on open commodity futures contracts at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $888,189 and $122,096, respectively. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
