MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2005 (Unaudited) The unaudited financial statements contained herein include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. (the ?Partnership?). The financial statements and condensed notes herein should be read in conjunction with the Partnership?s December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year?s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on the Partnership?s reported net income (loss). 1. Organization Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1991 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products. The Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. The Partnership?s general partner is Demeter Management Corporation (?Demeter?). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc. (?Morgan Stanley DW?). The clearing commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (?MS & Co.?) and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited (?MSIL?). Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., and MSIL are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. The trading advisors to the Partnership are EMC Capital Management, Inc., Northfield Trading L.P., Rabar Market Research, Inc., Sunrise Capital Management, Inc., and Graham Capital Management, L.P. (individually, a ?Trading Advisor?, or collectively, the ?Trading Advisors?). 2. Related Party Transactions The Partnership?s cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., and MSIL in futures, forwards, and options trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW pays the Partnership interest income equal to 80% of the month?s average daily Net Assets at a rate equal to a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills. The Partnership pays brokerage fees to Morgan Stanley DW. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Effective July 1, 2005, the monthly brokerage fee, payable by the Partnership to Morgan Stanley DW, was reduced to a flat-rate of 1/12 of 6.00% of the Partnership?s Net Assets as of the first day of each month (a 6.00% annual rate), from a flat-rate of 1/12 of 7.25% of the Partnership?s Net Assets as of the first day of each month (a 7.25% annual rate). Such fees currently cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative and offering expenses. 3. Financial Instruments The Partnership trades futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the market value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The market value of exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which market value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price shall be the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. The market value of off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair market value quoted by the counterparty. The Partnership?s contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The Partnership accounts for its derivative investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ?Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities? (?SFAS No. 133?). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics: 1) One or more underlying notional amounts or payment provisions; 2) Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than would be required relative to changes in market factors; 3) Terms require or permit net settlement. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Generally, derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps, floors, and collars. The net unrealized gains on open contracts, reported as a component of ?Equity in futures interests trading accounts? on the Statements of Financial Condition, and their longest contract maturities were as follows: Net Unrealized Gains on Open Contracts Longest Maturities Exchange- Off-Exchange- Exchange- Off-Exchange- Date Traded Traded Total Traded Traded $ $ $ Sep. 30, 2005 18,375,999 3,825,227 22,201,226 Mar. 2007 Dec. 2005 Dec. 31, 2004 13,504,844 1,621,779 15,126,623 Jun. 2006 Mar. 2005 The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty non- performance. The credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership trades is limited to the amounts reflected in the Partnership?s Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnership also has credit risk because Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., and MSIL act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnership?s assets. Exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) in value settled on a daily basis. Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., and MSIL, each as a futures commission merchant for the Partnership?s exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (?CFTC?), to segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on all open futures, forward, and futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $557,513,543 and $577,340,091 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. With respect to the Partnership?s off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily exchange-required settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on open forward contracts be segregated. However, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at Morgan Stanley DW for the benefit of MS & Co. With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of MS & Co., MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED) the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with MS & Co. This agreement, which seeks to reduce both the Partnership?s and MS & Co.?s exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership?s credit risk in the event of MS & Co.?s bankruptcy or insolvency. Item 2. MANAGEMENT?S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity. The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan Stanley DW as non-clearing broker, and MS & Co. and MSIL as clearing brokers in separate futures, forwards, and options trading accounts established for each Trading Advisor. Such assets are used as margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin solely for the Partnership?s trading. The assets are held in either non- interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments permitted by the CFTC for investment of customer segregated or secured funds. Since the Partnership?s sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards, and options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for margin purposes. The Partnership?s investment in futures, forwards, and options may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as ?daily price fluctuations limits? or ?daily limits?. Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the price for a particular futures or options contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions. There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions. For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership?s assets. There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership?s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expects to have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges, and sales of units of limited partnership interest (?Unit(s)?) in the future will affect the amount of funds available for investments in futures, forwards, and options in subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore the impact, of future inflows and outflows of Units. There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the Partnership?s capital resource arrangements at the present time. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations. The Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments that would affect its liquidity or capital resources. Results of Operations General. The Partnership?s results depend on the Trading Advisors and the ability of each Trading Advisor?s trading program(s) to take advantage of price movements in the futures, forwards, and options markets. The following presents a summary of the Partnership?s operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and a general discussion of its trading activities during each period. It is important to note, however, that the Trading Advisors trade in various markets at different times and that prior activity in a particular market does not mean that such market will be actively traded by the Trading Advisors or will be profitable in the future. Consequently, the results of operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than in the context of the Trading Advisors? trading activities on behalf of the Partnership during the period in question. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Partnership?s results of operations set forth in the financial statements on pages 2 through 12 of this report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of certain accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements, including the following: The contracts the Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade- date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The difference between their cost and market value is recorded on the Statements of Operations as ?Net change in unrealized trading profit (loss)? for open (unrealized) contracts, and recorded as ?Realized trading profit (loss)? when open positions are closed out. The sum of these amounts, along with the ?Proceeds from Litigation Settlement?, constitute the Partnership?s trading results. The market value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular day. The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on the spot rate as of the close of business. Interest income, as well as management fees, incentive fees, and brokerage fees expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis. Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of the Partnership, no assumptions relating to the application of critical accounting policies other than those presently used could reasonably affect reported amounts. For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $19,873,375 and expenses totaling $12,237,088, resulting in net income of $7,636,287 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit increased from $26.52 at June 30, 2005 to $26.89 at September 30, 2005. The most significant trading gains of approximately 6.3% were achieved in the global stock indices during July and September from long positions in Pacific Rim and European stock index futures. During July, positive economic data out of the U.S. and Japan pushed global equity prices higher in the beginning of the month as a strong U.S. jobs number and better-than-expected Japanese corporate earnings supported growth estimates. Prices continued to strengthen after China reformed its U.S. dollar currency peg policy, leading market participants to conclude that a revaluation in the Chinese yuan would likely ease trade tensions between China, the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Finally, strong corporate earnings out of the European Union and the U.S. resulted in optimistic investor sentiment and pushed prices further. During September, long positions in Japanese stock index futures experienced gains as prices increased on positive comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui, who said that the Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a soft patch as demonstrated by rising production, improving business sentiment, and a sustained upturn in consumer spending. Additional sector gains resulted from long positions in European stock index futures as oil prices declined and investors embraced signs that the global economy could move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Gains of approximately 3.7% were recorded in the energy markets during August from long positions in crude oil and its related products and natural gas as prices climbed higher on supply and demand concerns. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, prices advanced further to touch new record highs amid concern for heavily damaged, or even possibly destroyed, refineries and production facilities. In the metals markets, gains of approximately 0.8% were established during July and September from long futures positions in base and precious metals after prices strengthened amid supply tightness, fears of inflation, and increased global demand. A portion of the Partnership?s overall gains for the quarter was offset by losses of approximately 5.9% in the global interest rate markets from positions in U.S., European, Australian, Asian, and Canadian interest rate futures held primarily during July and September. During July, long U.S. interest rate futures positions experienced losses as prices declined following a rise in interest rates and after the U.S. Labor Department released its June employment report. European fixed-income prices declined amid strength in regional equity markets, and news of terrorist attacks on the London transport network also weighed on European bond prices. During September, long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures incurred losses as prices weakened after it was revealed that measurements of Hurricane Katrina?s economic impact were not weak enough to deter the U.S. Federal Reserve from its policy of raising interest rates. European fixed-income prices also fell in response to expectations that European Central Bank representatives would leave European interest rates unchanged at their upcoming meeting, despite the fact that European Central Bank representatives had openly discussed the eventual need to hike rates due to concern for inflation risks. Long positions in Australian bonds contributed to losses as prices declined after Australia's largest ever annual jobs gain initiated speculation that the Reserve Bank of Australia would perhaps reconsider its stance on interest rates and lean towards future interest rate tightening. Additional losses stemmed from long positions in Canadian interest rate futures as prices finished lower on strength in the equity markets and after the Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate for the first time in 11 months. Losses of approximately 1.5% were recorded in the currency markets during August from long U.S. dollar positions against the British pound, euro, and Swiss franc, as the value of the U.S. dollar declined amid higher crude oil prices, lower durable goods orders, the U.S. trade imbalance, and economic warnings from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Smaller Partnership losses of approximately 0.5% resulted in the agricultural markets from long futures positions in cotton, corn, and the soybean complex held during July and August. During July, long futures positions in cotton incurred losses as prices moved lower earlier in the month amid news that the Bush Administration asked Congress to repeal a federal cotton subsidy in an effort to comply with a World Trade Organization ruling against the program. Prices also declined further after the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported weak demand. Long positions in corn futures also experienced losses later in the month after prices weakened in response to higher silo rates. During August, long futures positions in the soybean complex and corn incurred losses as prices reversed lower due to forecasts for supply increases spurred by moisture in parts of the U.S. growing regions. The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $61,306 and expenses totaling $40,258,599, resulting in a net loss of $40,197,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased from $28.88 at December 31, 2004 to $26.89 at September 30, 2005. The most significant trading losses of approximately 6.0% were incurred in the currency markets, primarily during the first quarter and August, from positions in foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar. During January, long positions in Swiss franc and euro versus the U.S. dollar incurred losses after the U.S. dollar?s value reversed sharply higher amid conflicting economic data, improvements in U.S. trade deficit numbers, and speculation for higher U.S. interest rates. The U.S. dollar?s value also advanced in response to expectations that the Chinese government would announce postponement of Chinese yuan revaluation for the foreseeable future. Additional losses were recorded during February from short positions in the Swiss franc and euro versus the U.S. dollar as the U.S. dollar weakened in response to concern for the considerable U.S. Current-Account deficit expressed by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The value of the U.S. dollar was further weakened during the remainder of February by a larger-than-expected drop in January leading economic indicators and news that South Korea?s Central Bank would be reducing its U.S. dollar currency reserves. Long European currency positions versus the U.S. dollar also recorded losses during March after the value of the U.S. dollar reversed sharply higher benefiting from higher U.S. interest rates and consumer prices. During August, long U.S. dollar positions against the British pound, euro, and Swiss franc resulted in losses, as the value of the U.S. dollar declined amid higher crude oil prices, lower durable goods orders reported by the U.S. Commerce Department, the U.S. trade imbalance, and economic warnings from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Losses of approximately 1.3% resulted in the metals markets from positions in both precious and base metals held primarily during the second quarter. During April and May, long futures positions in base metals recorded losses as prices fell due to news of increases in supply, fears that a slowing global economy would weaken demand, and a stronger U.S. dollar. During June, losses were recorded from short gold positions after prices reversed higher amid technically-based buying, while long futures positions in silver experienced losses amid strength in the U.S. dollar. In the agricultural markets, losses of approximately 0.8% were experienced primarily during the second quarter and July from long futures positions in corn, wheat, and cotton. During April, long futures positions in wheat resulted in losses as prices fell in response to favorable weather in growing regions, improved crop conditions, and reduced foreign demand. During May, losses stemmed from long futures positions in cotton as prices moved lower on supply increases and the lack of damage to crops by the touchdown of a hurricane in U.S. growing regions. During July, long futures positions in cotton incurred losses as prices moved lower earlier in the month amid news that the Bush Administration asked Congress to repeal a federal cotton subsidy in an effort to comply with a World Trade Organization ruling against the program. Prices also declined further after the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported weak demand. Long positions in corn futures also experienced losses later in the month after prices weakened in response to higher silo rates. Smaller Partnership losses of approximately 0.3% were experienced in the global interest rate sector primarily during the third quarter from positions in U.S., Canadian, and Australian interest rate. During July, long U.S. interest rate futures positions experienced losses as prices declined following a rise in interest rates and after the U.S. Labor Department released its June employment report. During September, long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures incurred losses as prices weakened after it was revealed that measurements of Hurricane Katrina?s economic impact were not weak enough to deter the U.S. Federal Reserve from its policy of raising interest rates. Long positions in Canadian interest rate futures recorded losses as prices finished lower on strength in the equity markets and as the Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate for the first time in 11 months. Additional losses stemmed from long positions in Australian bonds as prices declined after Australia's largest ever annual jobs gain initiated speculation that the Reserve Bank of Australia would perhaps reconsider its stance on interest rates and lean towards future interest rate tightening. A portion of the Partnership?s overall losses for the first nine months of the year was offset by gains of approximately 4.1% recorded in the global stock index markets, primarily during the third quarter, from long positions in Pacific Rim and European stock index futures. During July, positive economic data out of the U.S. and Japan pushed global equity prices higher in the beginning of the month as a strong U.S. jobs number and better- than-expected Japanese corporate earnings supported growth estimates. Prices continued to strengthen after China reformed its U.S. dollar currency peg policy, leading market participants to conclude that a revaluation in the Chinese yuan would likely ease trade tensions between China, the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Finally, strong corporate earnings out of the European Union and the U.S. resulted in optimistic investor sentiment and pushed prices further. During September, long positions in Japanese stock index futures experienced gains as prices increased on positive comments from Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui, who said that the Japanese economy was in the process of emerging from a soft patch. Additional sector gains resulted from long positions in European stock index futures as oil prices declined and investors embraced signs that the global economy could move forward despite Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Additional Partnership gains of approximately 2.8% were achieved in the energy markets primarily during August from long positions in natural gas, crude oil and its related products, as prices climbed higher on supply and demand concerns. After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, prices advanced further to touch record highs amid concern for heavily damaged, or even possibly destroyed, refineries and production facilities. For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $(17,696,888) and expenses totaling $12,413,529, resulting in a net loss of $30,110,417 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased from $27.14 at June 30, 2004 to $25.51 at September 30, 2004. The most significant trading losses of approximately 4.2% were recorded in the currency markets, primarily during July and August, from positions in European currencies and the Japanese yen, both versus the U.S. dollar. During July, long positions in the Swiss franc, British pound, and euro versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the U.S. dollar advanced amid upbeat market sentiment, an optimistic assessment of the U.S. economy by the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, and a jump in July consumer confidence data. During August, long and short positions in the euro relative to the U.S. dollar, British pound, and Japanese yen proved unprofitable as the euro experienced short-term volatility due to conflicting economic data and surging energy prices. Additional losses resulted from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the U.S. dollar?s value decreased in response to concerns for the rate of U.S. economic growth sparked by the release of soft economic data. Losses of approximately 1.8% in the global stock index markets resulted throughout the quarter from both long and short positions in European, U.S., and Japanese stock index futures. During July, long positions experienced losses as prices reversed lower due to the release of disappointing U.S. employment data, surging energy prices, and new warnings concerning potential terrorist attacks. During August, short European and U.S. positions were unprofitable as prices reversed higher in response to falling energy prices and better-than- expected U.S. economic data. During September, long European, U.S., and Japanese positions recorded losses following a decline in global equity prices caused by rising energy prices and the release of weak corporate data. Losses of approximately 0.8% were incurred in the global interest rate markets, primarily during July and September, from both long and short U.S. interest rate futures positions and short positions in Japanese interest rate futures. During July, short positions recorded losses as prices moved higher after the release of disappointing U.S. unemployment data. Additional losses were incurred from newly established long positions after prices moved lower following the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan?s upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy. During August, short positions in Japanese interest rate futures incurred losses as prices trended higher amid a surge in oil prices, a drop in global equity prices, and a conflicted Japanese and U.S. economic picture. During September, long positions in U.S. interest rate futures resulted in losses as prices declined due to expectations for rising interest rates prompted by the release of positive U.S. economic data. A portion of the Partnership?s overall losses for the quarter was offset by gains of approximately 2.2% in the energy markets from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as crude oil prices trended higher reaching historical highs amid heavy market demand and concerns for supply. Additional gains of approximately 0.4% in the agricultural markets were recorded, primarily during July, from short futures positions in corn as prices trended lower due to ideal weather conditions in the growing region of the U.S. Midwest, reports of increased inventories by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and weak export demand. Smaller gains of approximately 0.2% in the metals markets stemmed from long futures positions in base metals as prices moved higher during September in response to continued demand from China and reports of lower-than- expected inventories. The Partnership recorded total trading results including interest income totaling $(45,690,460) and expenses totaling $43,876,276, resulting in a net loss of $89,566,736 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The Partnership?s net asset value per Unit decreased from $30.31 at December 31, 2003 to $25.51 at September 30, 2004. The most significant trading losses of approximately 8.2% were incurred in the currency markets. During March, short positions in the Japanese yen and Singapore dollar versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the yen reversed higher due to speculation that the Bank of Japan was relaxing its efforts of intervention to weaken the yen. During April, long Asian currency positions versus the U.S. dollar experienced losses as the U.S. dollar?s value surged following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. The yen also came under pressure following efforts by the Japanese government to weaken the yen by intervening in the currency markets. Short positions in most major currencies versus the U.S. dollar produced losses during May as the U.S. dollar?s value declined in response to fears of potential terrorist attacks, expanding energy prices, and the release of weaker-than-expected economic data. During July, long positions in the Swiss franc, British pound, and euro versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the U.S. dollar advanced amid upbeat market sentiment, an optimistic assessment of the U.S. economy by the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, and a jump in July consumer confidence data. During August, long and short positions in the euro relative to the U.S. dollar, British pound, and Japanese yen proved unprofitable as the euro experienced short-term volatility due to conflicting economic data and surging energy prices. Additional losses resulted from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the U.S. dollar?s value decreased in response to concerns for the rate of U.S. economic growth sparked by the release of soft economic data. Additional losses of approximately 4.4% were experienced in the global interest rate markets, primarily during the second and third quarter, from positions in the U.S., Australian, and Japanese interest rate futures. During January, long positions in U.S. interest rate futures experienced losses as prices declined following comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve concerning a shift in the Board?s interest rate policy. Short positions in Australian interest rate futures deepened sector losses as prices reversed higher during the final week of the month. During April, long U.S. interest rate futures positions incurred losses as prices tumbled following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. During May, short positions in global bond futures experienced losses as prices moved higher during the latter half of the month due to uncertainty in global equity prices, weaker-than-expected economic data, stronger energy prices, and geopolitical concerns. During June, short positions experienced losses as global bond prices rallied on weaker-than-expected economic reports and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would not aggressively tighten U.S. interest rates as originally expected. Smaller losses stemmed from short positions in Japanese interest rate futures during June as prices increased sharply after the Bank of Japan voted to maintain interest rates close to zero. During July, short positions in U.S. interest rate futures recorded losses as prices moved higher after the release of disappointing U.S. unemployment data. Additional losses were incurred from newly established long positions after prices moved lower following the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan?s upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy. During August, short positions in Japanese interest rate futures prices trended higher amid a surge in oil prices, a drop in global equity prices, and a conflicted Japanese and U.S. economic picture. During September, long positions in U.S. interest rate futures resulted in losses as prices declined due to expectations for rising interest rates prompted by the release of positive U.S. economic data. Additional losses of approximately 3.6% were recorded in the global stock index markets, primarily during the second and third quarter of the year. Long positions in European and U.S. equity index futures were unprofitable during the second quarter as prices declined due to geopolitical concerns and expanding energy prices. Newly established short positions in those same markets experienced additional losses as prices rebounded later in the second quarter due to a slight pullback in oil prices and strong earnings from technology companies. During July, long positions experienced losses as prices reversed lower due to the release of disappointing U.S. employment data, surging energy prices, and new warnings concerning potential terrorist attacks. During August, short European and U.S. positions were unprofitable as prices reversed higher in response to falling energy prices and better-than-expected U.S. economic data. During September, long European and U.S. positions recorded losses following a decline in global equity prices caused by rising energy prices and the release of weak corporate data. A portion of the Partnership?s overall losses during the first nine months of the year was offset by gains of approximately 4.3% recorded in the energy markets from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products. During February, long positions benefited as prices increased amid low market supply, falling inventory levels, and an output reduction announcement from OPEC. Long positions profited during April as prices trended higher on fears of potential terrorist activity in the Middle East and news of problems with U.S. refineries. During May, long positions recorded gains as crude oil prices surged higher, amid fears of terrorist attacks on Middle Eastern oil facilities and disruptions in Iraqi oil production. During the third quarter, long positions profited as prices trended higher reaching historical highs amid heavy market demand and concerns for supply. Additional gains of approximately 2.5% in the metals markets resulted primarily during the first quarter from long futures positions in base metals as prices moved higher in response to increased demand from China coupled with a weaker U.S. dollar. Finally, gains of approximately 1.4% achieved in the agricultural markets, primarily during the first quarter, resulted from long futures positions in soybeans and its related products, and corn as prices for these commodities finished higher amid increased demand from Asia. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Introduction The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options. The market- sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or substantially all of the Partnership?s assets are at risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market- sensitive instruments is inherent to the primary business activity of the Partnership. The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership?s open positions, and consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange- traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract, however, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open contracts in Partnership accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at Morgan Stanley DW for the benefit of MS & Co. The Partnership?s total market risk may increase or decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the diversification among the Partnership?s open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets. The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership to typically be many times the total capitalization of the Partnership. The Partnership?s past performance is no guarantee of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the Partnership?s market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its speculative trading. The Partnership?s speculative trading and use of leverage may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., ?risk of ruin?) that far exceed the Partnership?s experience to date under the ?Partnership?s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors? section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk (?VaR?) tables disclosed. Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment. Quantifying the Partnership?s Trading Value at Risk The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership?s market risk exposures contain ?forward-looking statements? within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward- looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact. The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark to market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the Partnership?s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership?s earnings and cash flow. The Partnership?s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of VaR. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 99%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risk including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors (?market risk factors?) to which the portfolio is sensitive. The one-day 99% confidence level of the Partnership?s VaR corresponds to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days, or one day in 100. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome. Demeter uses approximately four years of daily market data (1,000 observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma approximations) for each of the historical market moves that occurred over the time period. This generates a probability distribution of daily ?simulated profit and loss? outcomes. The VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution. For example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst outcome from Demeter?s simulated profit and loss series. The Partnership?s VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments. They are also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements. VaR models, including the Partnership?s, are continually evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Demeter or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other entities. The Partnership?s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors The following table indicates the VaR associated with the Partnership?s open positions as a percentage of total Net Assets by primary market risk category at September 30, 2005 and 2004. At September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership?s total capitalization was approximately $552 million and $494 million, respectively. Primary Market September 30, 2005 September 30, 2004 Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk Equity (2.21)% (0.73)% Currency (1.06) (0.67) Interest Rate (0.31) (2.90) Commodity (1.04) (1.16) Aggregate Value at Risk (2.91)% (3.15)% The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category. The Aggregate Value at Risk listed above represents the VaR of the Partnership?s open positions across all the market categories, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due to the diversification benefit across asset classes. Because the business of the Partnership is the speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day, which could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR. The table below supplements the quarter-end VaR set forth above by presenting the Partnership?s high, low, and average VaR, as a percentage of total Net Assets for the four quarter-end reporting periods from October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005. Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average Equity (2.63)% (1.45)% (2.20)% Currency (1.94) (0.69) (1.41) Interest Rate (2.49) (0.31) (1.33) Commodity (1.21) (0.58) (0.88) Aggregate Value at Risk (3.56)% (2.65)% (3.07)% Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk VaR models permit estimation of a portfolio?s aggregate market risk exposure, incorporating a range of varied market risks; reflect risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging activities; and can cover a wide range of portfolio assets. However, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the methodology?s limitations, which include, but may not be limited to the following: * past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements; * changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model; * VaR results reflect past market fluctuations applied to current trading positions while future risk depends on future positions; * VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and * the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements. In addition, the VaR tables above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give no indication of the Partnership?s potential ?risk of ruin?. The VaR tables provided present the results of the Partnership?s VaR for each of the Partnership?s market risk exposures and on an aggregate basis at September 30, 2005, and for the four quarter-end reporting periods from October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005. VaR is not necessarily representative of the Partnership?s historic risk, nor should it be used to predict the Partnership?s future financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the Partnership?s actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading days. Non-Trading Risk The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances. These balances and any market risk they may represent are immaterial. The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion of its available assets in cash at Morgan Stanely DW; as of September 30, 2005, such amount is equal to approximately 90% of the Partnership?s net asset value. A decline in short-term interest rates would result in a decline in the Partnership?s cash management income. This cash flow risk is not considered to be material. Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage, optionality, and multiplier features of the Partnership?s market- sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership?s Net Assets. Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership?s market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures - constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership?s primary market risk exposures, as well as the strategies used and to be used by Demeter and the Trading Advisors for managing such exposures, are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership?s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation, and many other factors could result in material losses, as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership. The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership at September 30, 2005, by market sector. It may be anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary materially over time. Equity. The primary market exposure of the Partnership at September 30, 2005 was to equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The G-7 countries consist of France, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on broadly-based indices. At September 30, 2005, the Partnership?s primary exposures were to the Nikkei 225 (Japan), DAX (Germany), S&P 500 (U.S.), HANG SENG (China), S&P/MIB (Italy), CAC 40 (France), FTSE 100 (Britain), and IBEX 35 (Spain) stock indices. The Partnership is exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the European, U.S., Asian, and Australian stock indices. Static markets would not cause major market changes, but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid trendless price movements, resulting in numerous small losses. Currency. The second largest market exposure of the Partnership at September 30, 2005 was to the currency sector. The Partnership?s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. Interest rate changes, as well as political and general economic conditions influence these fluctuations. The Partnership trades a large number of currencies, including cross- rates ? i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At September 30, 2005, the Partnership?s major exposures were to the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and Norwegian krone currency crosses, as well as to outright U.S. dollar positions. Outright positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies. These other currencies include major and minor currencies. Demeter does not anticipate that the risk associated with the Partnership?s currency trades will change significantly in the future. Interest Rate. The third largest market exposure of the Partnership at September 30, 2005 was to the global interest rate sector. Exposure was primarily spread across the European, U.S., Japanese, and Australian interest rate sectors. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly affect the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country, as well as relative interest rate movements between countries, materially impact the Partnership?s profitability. The Partnership?s interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries. However, the Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt of smaller countries ? e.g., Australia. Demeter anticipates that the G-7 countries and Australian interest rates will remain the primary interest rate exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future. The speculative futures positions held by the Partnership may range from short to long-term instruments. Consequently, changes in short, medium, or long-term interest rates may have an effect on the Partnership. Commodity. Energy. At September 30, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure in the energy sector. The Partnership?s energy exposure was primarily to futures contracts in crude oil and its related products, and natural gas. Price movements in these markets result from geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as weather patterns, and other economic fundamentals. Significant profits and losses, which have been experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be experienced in the future. Natural gas has exhibited volatility in prices resulting from weather patterns and supply and demand factors and will likely continue in this choppy pattern. Metals. At September 30, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure in the metals sector. The Partnership's metals exposure was to fluctuations in the price of base metals, such as copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, and lead, and precious metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum. Economic forces, supply and demand inequalities, geopolitical factors, and market expectations influence price movements in these markets. The Trading Advisors utilize the trading system(s) to take positions when market opportunities develop, and Demeter anticipates that the Partnership will continue to do so. Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At September 30, 2005, the Partnership had market exposure to the markets that comprise these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the sugar, corn, soybean products, and cotton markets. Supply and demand inequalities, severe weather disruptions, and market expectations affect price movements in these markets. Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the Partnership at September 30, 2005: Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership?s primary foreign currency balances at September 30, 2005 were in euros, Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, and Swiss francs. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of foreign currency balances by regularly converting them back into U.S. dollars upon liquidation of their respective positions. Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure The Partnership and the Trading Advisors, separately, attempt to manage the risk of the Partnership?s open positions in essentially the same manner in all market categories traded. Demeter attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership?s assets among different Trading Advisors in a multi-advisor Partnership, each of whose strategies focus on different market sectors and trading approaches, and by monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisors daily. In addition, the Trading Advisors establish diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum margin to be committed to positions in any one market sector or market-sensitive instrument. Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership?s non- trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership investment directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Advisors. Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Demeter, the general partner of the Partnership, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership?s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), and have judged such controls and procedures to be effective. (b) There have been no material changes during the period covered by this quarterly report in the Partnership?s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
