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 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. 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 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 based upon 80% of the month's average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the limited partnership agreements) for the month in the case of Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) 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 the month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of Units are paid by the Limited Partners or the Partnerships. Morgan Stanley DW pays all such costs. MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) 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. 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. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Partnerships pay brokerage fees to Morgan Stanley DW as described in Note 1.
