Minor currencies may include, but are not limited to, the South African rand, Thai baht, Singapore dollar, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, Polish zloty, Brazilian real, Norwegian krone, and Czech koruna. During the month, the Fund experienced gains from long positions in the euro, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, British pound, Polish zloty, and Norwegian krone versus the U.S. dollar, as well as from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. These gains were partially offset by losses from short positions in the South African rand, Mexican peso, and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar, as well as long positions in the Singapore dollar versus the U.S. dollar. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) Gains were experienced from long positions in the euro, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, British pound, Polish zloty, and Norwegian krone versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower relative to these currencies after news that the U.S. Institute of Supply Management's index of manufacturing dropped during March. Furthermore, the value of the U.S. dollar was pulled lower due to speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve may cut interest rates after news that foreign investment in U.S. securities fell more than expected in February and industrial production declined in March. Conversely, strong economic data out of the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Norway added to growing investor sentiment that these respective Central Banks would raise interest rates in order to combat inflation, thus pushing the value of those currencies higher relative to the U.S. dollar. Elsewhere in the currency markets, short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar resulted in gains as the value of the Japanese yen moved lower amid expectations that strengthening global equity markets may give investors more confidence to buy higher-yielding assets financed with money borrowed in Japan, thereby continuing the carry-trade. Additionally, the value of the Japanese yen was pulled lower after news that the Tankan survey was weaker than expected. Losses were incurred from short positions in the South African rand, Mexican peso, and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar declined due to the aforementioned reasons suggesting a possible slowdown in the U.S. economy. In addition, the South African rand moved higher amid continuing optimism about the long term health of the South African economy. Meanwhile, long positions in the Singapore dollar versus the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the value of the Singapore dollar fell on speculation that the Monetary Authority of Singapore may curb appreciation in the currency after it reached a nine-year high in April. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED L.P. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [THE FOLLOWING DATA POINTS REPRESENT A BAR CHART IN THE PRINTED DOCUMENT.] MONTH ENDED APRIL 30, 2007 YTD ENDED APRIL 30, 2007 -------------------------- ------------------------ CURRENCIES 0.75 0.01 INTEREST RATES -0.4 -2.07 STOCK INDICES 1.41 -0.72 ENERGIES 0.18 0.64 METALS 0.46 1.08 AGRICULTURALS 0.4 -0.27 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income. During the month, the Fund experienced gains in the global stock index, currency, metals, agricultural, and energy sectors. These gains were partially offset by losses recorded in the global interest rate futures sector. Within the global stock index sector, gains were experienced from long positions in European, U.S., and Australian equity index futures as prices moved higher on continued strong corporate earnings and increased merger and acquisition activity. In addition, prices were pressured higher amid strong U.S. retail sales data and on optimism that global trade imbalances will be reduced in the long-term. Lastly, Australian stock prices strengthened amid rising commodity prices. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED L.P. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) Within the currency sector, long positions in the euro and British pound versus the U.S. dollar, as well as short positions in the U.S. dollar Index, resulted in gains as the value of the U.S. dollar weakened against its major rivals on speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve may cut interest rates after news that foreign investment in U.S. securities fell more than expected in February and U.S. industrial production declined in March. Additionally, the value of the euro moved higher after the Ifo Institute stated that German business sentiment climbed to the second highest on record in April, while the value of the British pound moved higher on news of an increase in consumer confidence out of the United Kingdom. Within the metals markets, long positions in copper and nickel futures recorded gains as prices increased after the International Monetary Fund's strong global growth forecasts bolstered sentiment that global demand for base metals may increase this year. Additionally, copper prices increased on concern that a labor dispute at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, the world's third-largest copper mine, may curb production. Elsewhere in the metals complex, smaller gains were experienced from long positions in silver futures as prices moved higher due to weakness in the U.S. dollar. Within the agricultural markets, short positions in sugar futures experienced gains as prices fell on speculation that higher output in Brazil, the world's largest producer, will expand a global supply surplus. Meanwhile, short positions in soybean meal and cotton futures resulted in gains as prices declined amid speculation on an increase in U.S. domestic supply. Within the energy markets, long futures positions in gasoline experienced gains as prices moved higher amid concerns of supply shortages going into the U.S. summer driving season. Within the global interest rate sector, losses were incurred from both short and long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures as prices moved without consistent direction throughout a majority of the month. Elsewhere in the global interest rate markets, long positions in Japanese interest rate futures resulted in losses as prices fell amid weakened global demand for Japanese yen denominated assets. Finally, short positions in Australian interest rate futures recorded losses as prices increased after news that consumer prices gained less than expected. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [THE FOLLOWING DATA POINTS REPRESENT A BAR CHART IN THE PRINTED DOCUMENT.] MONTH ENDED APRIL 30, 2007 YTD ENDED APRIL 30, 2007 -------------------------- ------------------------ CURRENCIES 4.47 2.46 INTEREST RATES -0.39 -1.51 STOCK INDICES 1.35 -1.26 ENERGIES 0.31 0.23 METALS 0.52 -0.91 AGRICULTURALS -0.1 -0.93 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Finally, losses were experienced from long futures positions in the soybean complex as prices moved lower for a majority of the month on speculation that healthy growing conditions may increase supplies this summer.

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 and forward 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 general partner of each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The commodity brokers for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSIL"). Spectrum Currency's commodity broker is MS&Co. MS&Co. acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. For Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MSCG") acts as the counterparty on all tading of options on foreign currency forward contracts. Demeter, MS&Co., MSIL, and MSCG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. Effective April 13, 2007, Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited was renamed to Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc. 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. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) REVENUE RECOGNITION. Futures Interests are open commitments until settlement date, at which time they are realized. 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, MS&Co. pays each Partnership interest income at a rate equal to the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bills discount rate during such month on 80% of the funds on deposit with the commodity brokers at month-end in the case of Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, and on 100% in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. For purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on Futures Interests. The Partnerships' functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, they transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Changes in Net Asset Value. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently. 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 6.00% (a 6.00% annual rate) of Net Assets as of the first day of each month. Such brokerage fees currently cover all brokerage fees, 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 MS&Co. through the brokerage fees paid by the Partnerships. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) 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 partners or the Partnerships. MS&Co. 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 first becomes a limited partner. The Request for Redemption must be delivered to a limited partner's local Morgan Stanley Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded and received by Demeter no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50 Units required for each redemption, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire interest in a Partnership. Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to MS&Co. 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. 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. Demeter does not intend to make any distributions of the Partnerships' profits. 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. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical will terminate on December 31, 2035 and Spectrum Select will terminate on December 31, 2025, regardless of financial condition at such time, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
