Minor currencies may include, but are not limited to, the South African rand, Thai baht, Singapore dollar, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, and Norwegian krone. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING GAINS: > Trading within the currency markets resulted in gains as long positions in a variety of European currencies, particularly the euro and Swiss franc, versus the U.S. dollar profited during the month from a declining U.S. dollar trend. Following the victory of President Bush in the U.S. Presidential Election, the value of the U.S. dollar declined as investors concluded that the Republican Administration was unlikely to strengthen the U.S. dollar through currency market interventions. The U.S. dollar weakened further as the market digested details concerning the staggering U.S. trade and budget deficits, which gave rise to doubts about the strength and sustainability of U.S. economic expansion. Towards the end of the month, the U.S. dollar's value fell to new lows against rival currencies as global central banks, specifically the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank, implied they would not intervene to support the U.S. dollar by selling foreign currency holdings and purchasing U.S. Treasuries with U.S. dollars. > Long positions in "Commodity Currencies" (Australian and New Zealand dollars, and South African rand) versus the U.S. dollar provided additional Fund profits as they also benefited from the U.S. dollar's weakness, as well as an increase in gold prices. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES: > Fund losses for the month occurred in short British pound positions versus the U.S. dollar as the pound's value reversed higher against the U.S. dollar due to the weakening of the U.S. currency for the above-mentioned factors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The following data represents a bar graph in the printed document] MONTH ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 YTD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 Currencies 1.37 -2.35 Interest Rates -0.1 0.93 Stock Indices 1.16 0.44 Energies -1.18 0.31 Metals 0.33 -0.97 Agriculturals -0.33 -1.01 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Early in the month, market prices rallied following a victory by President Bush in the U.S. Presidential Election. Prices continued to advance in response to a decline in oil prices, an increase in the University of Michigan's U.S. consumer sentiment index, positive corporate earnings and speculation that the weak value of the U.S. dollar would attract foreign buyers to U.S. exports. > Additional Fund gains resulted in the metals markets from long futures positions in precious and base metals. The steep drop in the value of the U.S. dollar contributed to a significant rise in gold and silver prices as demand for "safe haven" assets increased. Additional gains were recorded from long futures positions in base metals, as prices strengthened due to weakness in the U.S. dollar. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES: > The majority of Fund losses for the month originated in the energy sector primarily from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices finished lower amid news of rising oil inventories and an increase in supply as production in the Gulf of Mexico, Norway, and Nigeria returned to normal. Additional sector losses resulted from long futures positions in natural gas as prices reversed sharply lower in response to growing reserves and seasonally moderate temperatures. > Losses also occurred in the agricultural markets from short futures positions in sugar as prices advanced, boosted by technically-based buying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM SELECT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The following data represents a bar graph in the printed document] MONTH ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 YTD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 Currencies 7.24 1.35 Interest Rates -0.54 -2.75 Stock Indices 1.15 -2.41 Energies -0.7 4.64 Metals 1.07 2.1 Agriculturals 0.65 1.58 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Additional gains were recorded from long futures positions in base metals as prices strengthened due to weakness in the U.S. dollar. > Gains in the agricultural markets stemmed from long futures positions in coffee, which benefited as prices strengthened due to technically-based buying and news of reduced exports from Brazil.

Additional losses resulted from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices finished lower amid news of an increase in supply. > Smaller losses occurred in the global interest rate sector from long positions in U.S. interest rate futures primarily during the first week of the month as bond prices retreated sharply following a better-than-anticipated U.S. government report on job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM STRATEGIC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The following data represents a bar graph in the printed document] MONTH ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 YTD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 Currencies 1.18 0.24 Interest Rates 0.17 0.66 Stock Indices 0.15 -2.54 Energies -1.55 -0.58 Metals 1.35 3.88 Agriculturals 0.43 8.36 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Additional gains were recorded from long futures positions in base metals as prices strengthened due to weakness in the U.S. dollar. > Trading within the currency markets also generated gains as long positions in a variety of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar profited from a declining U.S. dollar trend. Following the victory of President Bush in the U.S. Presidential Election, the value of the U.S. dollar declined as investors concluded that the Republican Administration was unlikely to strengthen the U.S. dollar through currency market interventions. The U.S. dollar weakened further as the market digested details concerning the U.S. trade and budget deficits. > Gains in the agricultural markets stemmed from long futures positions in coffee and sugar as prices for both commodities strengthened due to technically-based buying. News of reduced coffee exports from Brazil provided an additional boost to coffee prices. > In the global interest rate markets, long positions in European interest rate futures generated gains as prices strengthened amid heightened economic concerns prompted by weak economic data out of France and Germany. Another contributing factor was the advancing euro caused by growing demand for euro denominated investments. Additional gains were recorded from long positions in Australian interest rate futures as prices increased in response to the stronger Australian dollar. > Within the global equity index sector, gains resulted from long positions in U.S. stock index futures as prices finished the month higher following a victory by President Bush in the U.S. Presidential Election.

Prices continued to advance in response to a decline in oil prices, an increase in consumer sentiment and positive corporate earnings.

Long futures positions in coffee and sugar also supplied profits as prices strengthened due to technically-based buying. News of reduced coffee exports from Brazil provided an additional boost to coffee prices. Gains were also experienced from short futures positions in wheat and corn as prices continued to trend lower.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION. Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P. ("Spectrum Currency"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. ("Spectrum Global Balanced"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum Select"), Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P. ("Spectrum Strategic"), and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. ("Spectrum Technical") (individually, a "Partnership" or collectively, the "Partnerships"), are limited partnerships organized 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 (collectively, "futures interests"). The Partnerships' general partner is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, and Spectrum Technical are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS & Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL"). Spectrum Strategic's clearing commodity brokers are MS & Co., MSIL, and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MSCG"). Spectrum Currency's clearing commodity broker is MS & Co. Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., MSIL, and MSCG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Demeter and the limited partners based upon their proportional ownership interests. USE OF ESTIMATES. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures interests are open commitments until settlement date. They are valued at market on a daily basis and the resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one period to the next on the Statements of Operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) pays each Partnership interest income based upon 80% of the month's average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) in the case of Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, and on 100% in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. The interest rate is equal to a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills. For purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on futures interests. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") is computed using the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period. BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. The brokerage fees for Spectrum Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) of Net Assets as of the first day of each month. Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 7.25% (a 7.25% annual rate) of Net Assets as of the first day of each month. Such brokerage fees currently cover all brokerage commissions, transaction fees and costs, and ordinary administrative and continuing offering expenses. OPERATING EXPENSES. The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may incur incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees, and other related expenses are borne by Morgan Stanley DW through the brokerage fees paid by the Partnerships. INCOME TAXES. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues and expenses for income tax purposes. DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Demeter. No distributions have been made to date. CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership are offered at a price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the close of business on the last day of each month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of Units are paid by the limited part- MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) ners or the Partnerships. Morgan Stanley DW pays all such costs. REDEMPTIONS. Limited partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that is at least six months after the closing at which a person becomes a limited partner, upon five business days advance notice by redemption form to Demeter. Thereafter, Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month after such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption. Units redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month after which such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-fourth month after which such Units were purchased will not be subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to Morgan Stanley DW. Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50 Units, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire interest in a Partnership. EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurs more than six months after a person first becomes a limited partner in any of the Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, limited partners may exchange their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying additional charges. DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS.
