MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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 Dean Witter Spectrum Select L.P. (the "Partnership"). The financial statements and condensed notes herein should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's December 31, 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 1. Organization Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Select L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership organized to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts, options on futures contracts, physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products (collectively, "futures interests"). The Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Commodity L.P., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Strategic L.P. and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Technical L.P. MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) The general partner is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. ("DWR") and an unaffiliated clearing commodity broker, Carr Futures Inc. ("Carr"), provides clearing and execution services. Both Demeter and DWR are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. The trading advisors to the Partnership are EMC Capital Management, Inc., Rabar Market Research, Inc. and Sunrise Capital Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Trading Advisors"). 2. Related Party Transactions The Partnership's cash is on deposit with DWR and Carr in futures interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed. DWR pays interest on these funds based on a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills. Brokerage expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid to DWR. 3. Financial Instruments The Partnership trades futures and forward contracts, options on futures contracts, physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products. MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) 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. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, as amended by SFAS No. 137. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133 beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 133 superceded SFAS Nos. 119 and 105, which required the disclosure of average aggregate fair values and contract/notional values, respectively, of derivative financial instruments for an entity that carries its assets at fair value. SFAS No. 133 was further amended by SFAS No. 138, which clarifies issues surrounding interest rate risk, foreign currency denominations, normal purchases and sales and net hedging. The application of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, did not MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) have a significant effect on the Partnership's financial statements, nor will the application of the provisions of SFAS No. 138 have a significant effect on the Partnership's financial statements. 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. Generally derivatives include futures, forwards, swaps or option contracts, or other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps, floors and collars. The net unrealized gain (loss) on open contracts is reported as a component of "Equity in futures interests trading accounts" on the statements of financial condition and totaled $(1,943,434) and MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) $6,887,064 at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Of the $1,943,434 net unrealized loss on open contracts at September 30, 2000, $266,864 related to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled option contracts and $1,676,570 related to off- exchange-traded forward currency contracts. Of the $6,887,064 net unrealized gain on open contracts at December 31, 1999, $6,935,040 related to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts and $(47,976) related to off- exchange-traded forward currency contracts. Exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts held by the Partnership at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 mature through September 2001 and December 2000, respectively. Off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts held by the Partnership at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 mature through December 2000 and March 2000, respectively. MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty non- performance. The credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership is involved is limited to the amounts reflected in the Partnership's statements of financial condition. The Partnership also has credit risk because DWR and Carr act as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnership's assets. Exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. Each of DWR and Carr, as a futures commission merchant for the Partnership's exchange-traded futures 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 and futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gain (loss) on all open futures and futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $195,790,844 and $214,186,052 at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. With respect to the Partnership's off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONCLUDED) settlements of variations in value nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gain (loss) on forward contracts be segregated. With respect to those off-exchange- traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of Carr, the sole counterparty on all of such contracts, to perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with Carr. This agreement, which seeks to reduce both the Partnership's and Carr's exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership's credit risk in the event of Carr's bankruptcy or insolvency. Carr's parent, Credit Agricole Indosuez, has guaranteed to the Partnership payment of the net liquidating value of the transactions in the Partnership's account with Carr (including foreign currency contracts). Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity - The Partnership deposits its assets with DWR as non- clearing broker and Carr as clearing broker in separate futures trading accounts established for each Trading Advisor, which assets are used as margin to engage in 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. The Partnership's assets held by the commodity brokers may be used as margin solely for the Partnership's trading. 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 currency. 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 and subjecting it to substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions. The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material portion of its assets. Capital Resources - The Partnership does not have, or expect to have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges and sales of additional units of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") in the future will affect the amount of funds available for investment in futures interests in subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount and therefore, the impact of future redemptions of Units. Results of Operations General. The Partnership's results depend on its Trading Advisors and the ability of each Trading Advisor's trading programs to take advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities in the futures, forwards and options markets. The following presents a summary of the Partnership's operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, 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 its Trading Advisors' trading activities on behalf of the Partnership as a whole and how the Partnership has performed in the past. For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership recorded total trading revenues including interest income of $5,462,810 and posted an increase in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most significant gains of approximately 4.6% were recorded in the currency markets primarily during August and September from short positions in the New Zealand dollar as its value continued to fall to a historic low versus the U.S. dollar. Additional gains were recorded during August from short positions in the Swiss franc as its value weakened versus the U.S. dollar after the European Central Bank raised its key interest rates by 25 basis points, as expected. In the metals markets, gains of approximately 0.7% were recorded primarily during mid-September from long positions in copper futures as prices rose higher due to a rise in COMEX copper stocks. Additional profits were recorded during July from short gold futures positions as gold prices fell after the Bank of England announced the results of its gold auction, which had concluded at a lower price than most dealers expected. In the agricultural markets, gains of approximately 0.2% were recorded primarily during late August from long positions in soybean meal futures as prices surged on expectations that the searing heat in the U.S. Delta will trim this year's production. These gains were partially offset by losses of approximately 1.8% recorded in the global stock index futures markets primarily during the first half of September from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as prices declined due to jitters in the technology sector and a worrisome spike in oil prices. In the energy markets, losses of approximately 1.5% were incurred primarily during July and September from long futures positions in crude oil as prices decreased amid growing conviction that Saudi Arabia will follow through with a pledge to boost production and after President Clinton ordered the release of 30 million barrels of oil in the U.S.'s emergency Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In the global interest rate futures markets, losses of approximately 0.8% were experienced primarily during August from long positions in Japanese government bond futures as prices were weighed down by growing hopes for higher interest rates and economic expansion in Japan. Additional downward price pressure occurred following the Bank of Japan's decision to raise interest rates, thus ending their zero-interest rate policy. During September, additional losses were recorded from short positions in Japanese government bond futures positions as prices surged and long-term interest rates dropped as investors sought refuge from falls in U.S. and Japanese stock prices. Offsetting gains were recorded during September from long positions in short- term U.S. interest rate futures as prices in these markets increased. In soft commodities, small losses of approximately 0.1% were recorded primarily during July from short positions in cotton futures as prices increased. Offsetting gains were recorded during July from long sugar futures positions as prices increased on forecasts that the world surplus will shrink with smaller crops in 2000-2001. Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $4,950,610, resulting in net income of $512,200. The value of a Unit increased from $20.25 at June 30, 2000 to $20.31 at September 30, 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership recorded total trading losses net of interest income of $652,239 and posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most significant losses of approximately 5.4% were recorded in the global interest rate futures markets primarily during late April and late September from long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as prices declined amid fears of higher interest rates and increasing oil prices. In the global stock index futures markets, losses of approximately 5.2% were incurred primarily during mid April from long positions in U.S. stock indices as domestic equity prices declined following the release of an unexpected jump in the Consumer Price Index. During the first half of September, additional losses were recorded from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as prices declined due to jitters in the technology sector and a worrisome spike in oil prices. In the metals markets, losses of approximately 2.3% were recorded primarily during June from short silver futures positions as prices increased on the heels of the increase in gold prices, in reaction to the U.S. dollar's weakness and the Federal Open Market Committee's decision to leave interest rates unchanged. In the agricultural markets, losses of approximately 0.9% were recorded primarily during April and May from long corn and soybean futures positions as prices moved lower due to forecasts for heavy rain in the U.S. growing regions. These losses were partially offset by gains of approximately 5.6% recorded in the currency markets primarily during January, March, April and August from short positions in the euro and the Swiss franc as the values of these currencies weakened versus the U.S. dollar due to skepticism about Europe's economic outlook and due to the European Central Bank's ("ECB") passive stance towards its currency and increasing concern that the ECB should be more aggressive in combating inflation. In the energy markets, gains of approximately 3.9% were recorded primarily during May, August and September from long positions in natural gas futures as prices trended upward, amid supply and storage concerns. Additional gains were recorded primarily during January, February and August from long futures positions in crude oil and its refined products as oil prices increased on concerns about future output levels from the world's leading producer countries amid dwindling stockpiles and increasing demand. In the soft commodities markets, gains of approximately 0.2% were recorded primarily throughout the second quarter and during July from long positions in sugar futures as sugar prices trended higher due to strong demand and declining production from Brazil. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $15,771,945, resulting in a net loss of $16,424,184. The value of a Unit decreased from $22.00 at December 31, 1999 to $20.31 at September 30, 2000. For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership recorded total trading losses net of interest income of $1,323,973 and posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most significant losses of approximately 3.4% were recorded in the global stock index futures markets primarily from long S&P 500 Index futures positions as prices fell during July after Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that the economy may be growing fast enough to warrant a second interest rate increase later this year. During August, losses were recorded from short S&P 500 Index futures positions as prices increased after the Producer Price Index for July showed that inflation remained under control as the economy continued to grow. In the global interest rate futures markets, losses of approximately 3.3% were experienced during August primarily from short U.S. interest rate futures positions as U.S. Treasury prices moved temporarily higher on benign inflation data, a successful corporate bond offering and the Federal Reserve's anticipated decision to raise interest rates. Additional losses were experienced during September from short positions in Australian bond futures as prices spiked higher on technically based buying and short covering. In the currency markets, losses of approximately 0.3% were recorded during July primarily from short euro positions as its value reversed significantly higher versus the U.S. dollar due to a better-than-expected German business sentiment survey and a record U.S. trade deficit. Offsetting currency gains were recorded during August and September from long Japanese yen positions as the value of the yen climbed to a 44-month high versus the U.S. dollar due to positive economic data out of that country and optimism over Japan's economic recovery. A portion of the Partnership's overall losses for the quarter was offset by gains of approximately 3.5% recorded in the energy markets primarily from long positions in crude oil futures and its refined products, unleaded gas and heating oil, as oil prices climbed higher during August and September due to a perceived tightness in the gasoline market and an announcement by OPEC ministers stating that they would continue to adhere to agreed-upon output cuts through the first quarter of 2000. In the metals markets, gains of approximately 1.7% were recorded primarily from long gold futures positions as prices skyrocketed due to the results of the Bank of England's second gold auction on September 21 and the announcement of a plan by several European central banks to restrict sales of their gold reserves for five years. Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $5,433,840, resulting in a net loss of $6,757,813. The value of a Unit decreased from $23.64 at June 30, 1999 to $22.88 at September 30, 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership recorded total trading revenues including interest income of $7,840,757 and, after expenses, posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most significant losses of approximately 3.9% were experienced in the global stock index futures markets primarily from long positions in European stock index futures as prices moved lower during January and early February amid skepticism regarding the stability of emerging market economies. Prices in these markets continued to decline during May and June amid fears of higher interest rates in the U.S. In the metals markets, losses of approximately 0.4% were experienced during the month of March primarily from long silver futures positions as prices declined during mid-month after Berkshire Hathaway's annual report failed to provide any new information on the company's silver positions. Offsetting gains were recorded from long positions in gold futures as gold prices soared during September following the Bank of England's second gold auction and an announcement by several European central banks stating that they were to restrict the sales of gold reserves for five years. In the global interest rate futures markets, losses of approximately 0.3% were recorded during September primarily from short positions in Australian bond futures as prices spiked higher on technically based buying and short covering. Losses were also recorded from short Japanese government bond futures positions early in the first quarter as prices surged higher in response to the Bank of Japan's aggressive easing of monetary policy. Additional losses were experienced later in the first quarter from newly established long positions as prices retreated following comments by Bank of Japan Governor Masaru Hayami that he expected interest rates in Japan to rise over time. Offsetting gains were recorded in this market sector from short positions in European bond futures during April and June as prices declined due to dampened sentiment regarding the European Monetary Union and fears of an interest rate hike in the U.S. A portion of the Partnership's overall losses was offset by gains of approximately 4.7% recorded in the energy markets primarily from long futures positions in crude oil and its refined products, unleaded gas and heating oil, as prices climbed higher during March following an agreement reached by both OPEC and non-OPEC countries to cut total output beginning April 1st. Oil prices continued to move higher throughout the third quarter due to declining supplies, increasing demand and evidence that output cuts were being adhered to. In soft commodities, gains of approximately 0.4% were recorded throughout a majority of the first quarter primarily from short cocoa futures positions as prices declined amid fears that Brazil's financial troubles will have an adverse effect on supply and demand. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $16,033,957, resulting in a net loss of $8,193,200. The value of a Unit decreased from $23.80 at December 31, 1998 to $22.88 at September 30, 1999. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Introduction The Partnership is a commodity pool involved in the speculative trading of futures interests. 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 central, not incidental, to the Partnership's main business activities. The futures interests traded by the Partnership involve varying degrees of 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. Fluctuations in market risk based upon these factors result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the diversification among the Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times, each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market risk associated with the Partnership. The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative 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 may cause future losses and volatility (i.e. "risk of ruin") that far exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any reasonable expectations based upon historical changes in market value. 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 using 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, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures interests are settled daily through variation margin. The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk ("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%. Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated in the VaR model include 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 historical observation period of the Partnership's VaR is approximately four years. 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. VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously 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. 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 as of September 30, 2000 and 1999. At September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership's total capitalization was approximately $192 million and $222 million, respectively. Primary Market September 30, 2000 September 30, 1999 Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk Interest Rate (1.18)% (0.50)% Currency (1.16) (1.20) Equity (0.24) (0.31) Commodity (1.35) (1.48) Aggregate Value at Risk (2.03)% (1.93)% Aggregate Value at Risk represents the aggregate VaR of all the Partnership's open positions and not the sum of the VaR of the individual Market Categories listed above. Aggregate VaR will be lower as it takes into account correlation among different positions and categories. The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open positions at September 30, 2000 and 1999 only and is not necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's only business is the speculative trading of futures interests, the composition of its trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day. Any changes in open positions could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR. The table below supplements the quarter-end VaR by presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a percentage of total Net Assets for the four quarterly reporting periods from October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000. Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average Interest Rate (1.18)% (0.27)% (0.73)% Currency (1.16) (0.36) (0.76) Equity (0.78) (0.22) (0.43) Commodity (1.45) (0.40) (0.99) Aggregate Value at Risk (2.03)% (0.85)% (1.61)% Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk 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 value of the Partnership's open positions thus creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in other investments. The relative size of the positions held may cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly in excess of VaR within a short period of time, given the effects of the leverage employed and market volatility. The VaR tables above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give no indication of such "risk of ruin". In addition, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the methodology's limitations, which include 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 in response to market movements may differ from those of the VaR model; VaR results reflect past 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. The VaR tables above 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, 2000 and for the end of the four quarterly reporting periods from October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000. Since VaR is based on historical data, VaR should not be viewed as predictive of 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 1 in 100 trading days. Non-Trading Risk The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market risk they may represent are immaterial. At September 30, 2000 the Partnership's cash balance at DWR was approximately 87% of its total Net Asset Value. A decline in short-term interest rates will result in a decline in the Partnership's cash management income. This cash flow risk is not considered 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. 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 expropria- tions, 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 as of September 30, 2000, by market sector. It may be anticipated however, that these market exposures will vary materially over time. Interest Rate. The primary market exposure in the Partnership at September 30, 2000 was in the global interest rate sector. The Partnership's exposure in the interest rate market complex was spread primarily across the U.S., European, 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 primary interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. The G-7 countries consist of France, U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada. However, the Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt of smaller nations - - e.g. Australia and Spain. Demeter anticipates that G-7 and Australian interest rates will remain the primary interest rate exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future. The changes in interest rates which have the most effect on the Partnership are changes in long-term, as opposed to short-term, rates. Most of the speculative futures positions held by the Partnership are in medium- to long-term instruments. Consequently, even a material change in short-term rates would have little effect on the Partnership, were the medium- to long- term rates to remain steady. Currency. The second largest market exposure at September 30, 2000 was in the currency complex. 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 in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates - i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the third quarter of 2000, the Partnership's major exposures were in the euro currency crosses and 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 profile of the Partnership's currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading VaR figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the dollar-based Partnership in expressing VaR in a functional currency other than dollars. Equity. The primary equity exposure at September 30, 2000 was to equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of September 30, 2000, the Partnership's primary exposures were in the S&P 500 (U.S.), Hang Seng (China) and Nikkei (Japan) stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the U.S., European and Japanese indices. Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses. Commodity Energy. On September 30, 2000, the Partnership's energy exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in the crude oil and natural gas markets. Price movements in these markets result from political developments in the Middle East, weather patterns, and other economic fundamentals. It is possible that volatility will remain high. Significant profits and losses, which have been experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be experienced in this market. Natural gas has exhibited volatility in prices resulting from weather patterns and supply and demand factors and may continue in this choppy pattern. Metals. The Partnership's primary metals market exposure at September 30, 2000 was to fluctuations in the price of gold and silver. Although certain Trading Advisors will, from time to time, trade base metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, tin and lead, the principal market exposures of the Partnership have consistently been in precious metals, gold and silver. Exposure was evident in the gold market as gold prices were volatile during the quarter. Silver prices have remained volatile over this period, and the Trading Advisors have, from time to time, taken positions as they have perceived market opportunities to develop. Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. On September 30, 2000, the Partnership had exposure in the soybeans and its related products, orange juice, lean hogs and coffee markets. Supply and demand inequalities, severe weather disruption 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 as of September 30, 2000: Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's primary foreign currency balances are in Hong Kong dollars. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of these balances by regularly converting these balances back into dollars upon liquidation of the respective position. 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, each of whose strategies focus on different market sectors and trading approaches, and 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. PART II.

The aggregate price of the offering amount registered was $69,380,300, based upon the initial offering price of $1,000 per Unit and $938.03 per Unit at the supplemental closing (the initial closing and supplemental closing, hereinafter, the "Initial Offering"). The aggregate offering price of the Units sold during the Initial Offering was $60,268,482. The Partnership registered an additional 75,000 Units (pre- conversion) pursuant to a new Registration Statement of Form S-1, which became effective on August 31, 1993 (SEC File Number 33- 65072) (the "Second Offering"). The Second Offering commenced on August 31, 1993 and terminated as of September 30, 1993, with 74,408.337 Units sold. The aggregate price of the Second Offering amount registered was $102,744,000, based upon an initial offering price of $1,369.92. The aggregate price of the Units sold during the Second Offering was $116,617,866. The Partnership registered an additional 60,000 Units (pre-con- version) pursuant to another Registration Statement on Form S-1, which became effective on October 17, 1996 (SEC File Number 333- 1918), (the "Third Offering"). The Third Offering commenced on October 17, 1996 and terminated as of March 3, 1997, with 10,878.000 Units sold.

The Partnership registered an additional 1,500,000 Units pursuant to another Registration Statement on Form S-1, which became effective on May 11, 1998 (SEC File Number 333-47829). Commencing with the April 30, 1998 monthly closing, each previously outstanding Unit was converted into 100 Units. The Partnership registered an additional 5,000,000 Units pursuant to another Registration Statement on Form S-1, which became effective on January 21, 1999 (File No. 333-68773). The Partnership registered an additional 4,500,000 Units pursuant to another Registration Statement on Form S-1, which became effective on February 28, 2000 (SEC File Number 333-90467). The managing underwriter for the Partnership is DWR. Units are being sold at monthly closings as of the last day of each month at a price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit as of the date of such monthly closing. Through September 30, 2000, 19,287,646.237 Units of the Partnership were sold, leaving 6,326,320.863 Units unsold. The aggregate price of the Units sold through September 30, 2000 is $304,967,273. Since DWR has paid all offering expenses and no expenses are chargeable against proceeds, 100% of the proceeds of the offering have been applied to the working capital of the Partnership for use in accordance with the "Use of Proceeds" section of the Prospectus included as part of each Registration Statement.
