("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 general partner for each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker for the Partnerships is Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing commodity brokers for the Partnerships are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS & Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL"). Morgan Stanley Commodities Management, Inc. ("MSCM") is the trading advisor to Spectrum Commodity. Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., MSIL and MSCM 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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION.Futures interests are open commitments until settlement date. They are valued at market MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) on a daily basis and the resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized profits (losses) on open contracts from one period to the next in the statements of operations. Monthly, Morgan Stanley DW pays each Partnership interest income on 80% of the month's average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the limited partnership agreements) for the month in the case of Spectrum Commodity, 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 due the Partnerships on futures interests, but not actually received. 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 Commodity, 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 each Partnership.
