Minor currencies may include, but are not limited to, the South African rand, Thai baht, Greek drachma, Singapore dollar, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar and Norwegian krone. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES: o Losses were incurred on short U.S. dollar positions against the Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, and other Asian currencies as the U.S. dollar surged during the month following the release of stronger-than- expected U.S. jobs data. The yen also came under pressure following efforts by the Japanese government to weaken the yen by intervening in the currency markets. Most Asian currencies followed the yen lower. Losses were also incurred on short U.S. dollar positions against the British pound and South African rand, as the dollar benefited from rising U.S. interest rates and the perception that the U.S. economy was experiencing a sustainable recovery. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING GAINS: o Gains were recorded from long positions in the U.S. dollar versus the euro. The dollar benefited from Alan Greenspan's comments concerning U.S. inflation, stronger U.S. economic activity and the potential for higher U.S. interest rates. The dollar's value increased further during the month as additional positive economic news reinforced market speculation of rising U.S. interest rates. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Table below represents a graph in the printed piece] YTD ENDED MONTH ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 APRIL 30, 2004 -------------- -------------- CURRENCIES -2.25 -0.64 INTEREST RATES -1.22 -2.04 STOCK INDICES 0.85 0.07 ENERGIES -0.09 -0.25 METALS -0.03 0.04 AGRICULTURALS 0.04 -0.28 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING LOSSES: o Losses were incurred on long U.S. and European interest rate futures positions as global fixed income prices tumbled following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. The report showed that U.S. payrolls grew at their fastest pace in nearly four years and boosted the belief that the U.S. economy was experiencing a sustainable recovery. Importantly, the report caused many market analysts to anticipate that the U.S. Federal Reserve would move sooner-than-expected to raise U.S. interest rates from their current low levels. o Losses were incurred on short U.S. dollar positions against the Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, and other Asian currencies as the U.S. dollar surged during the month following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. The yen also came under pressure following efforts by the Japanese government to weaken the yen by intervening in the currency markets. Most Asian currencies followed the yen lower. Losses were also incurred on short U.S. dollar positions against the South African rand, as the dollar benefited from rising U.S. interest rates and the perception that the U.S. economy was experiencing a sustainable recovery. o Losses were also incurred in the agricultural sector from long futures positions in corn. Corn prices declined in response to news of lower U.S. exports and increased plantings in the U.S. Corn Belt. o Smaller losses were sustained in the energy sector from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices reversed following the release of data indicating larger-than-expected U.S. supplies. Prices were further pressured by news that the U.S. may consider easing environmental restrictions on gasoline. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM SELECT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Table below represents a graph in the printed piece] YTD ENDED MONTH ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 APRIL 30, 2004 -------------- -------------- CURRENCIES -2.39 -1.78 INTEREST RATES -1.34 -4.16 STOCK INDICES -0.25 -0.95 ENERGIES 1.51 0.43 METALS 3.07 -2.72 AGRICULTURALS 2.16 -0.69 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Importantly, the report caused many market analysts to anticipate that the U.S. Federal Reserve would move sooner-than-expected to raise U.S. interest rates from their current low levels. o Additional losses were experienced in the metals markets from long positions in both precious and base metals. The U.S. dollar's move higher prompted by positive economic data caused losses in long silver and gold futures positions as their prices conversely moved lower. Within the base metals markets, long positions in copper, aluminum and zinc incurred losses as prices weakened due to the strength of the U.S. dollar and fears of reduced demand from China. o Losses were incurred on short U.S. dollar positions against the Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, and other Asian currencies as the U.S. dollar surged during the month following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. The yen also came under pressure following efforts by the Japanese government to weaken the yen by intervening in the currency markets. Most Asian currencies followed the yen lower. Losses were also incurred on short U.S. dollar positions against the South African rand, as the dollar benefited from rising U.S. interest rates and the perception that the U.S. economy was experiencing a sustainable recovery. o Despite news indicating that a sustainable global economic recovery could be underway, global equity prices were weighed down by the continuing difficulties in Iraq, fears of global terrorism and concerns of higher interest rates. Consequently, long positions in European, U.S. and Japanese stock indices recorded losses. o Long futures positions in wheat recorded losses as prices moved lower in sympathy with corn prices. Corn prices declined amid news of lower U.S. exports and increased plantings in the U.S. Corn Belt. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING GAINS: o The Fund generated gains in the energy markets from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices finish for the month higher on fears of potential terrorist activity in Saudi Arabia and news of problems with U.S. refineries. Prices were later bolstered following a disclosure from OPEC ministers regarding their intentions to discuss higher price targets at their upcoming meeting in June. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM STRATEGIC - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Table below represents a graph in the printed piece] YTD ENDED MONTH ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 APRIL 30, 2004 -------------- -------------- CURRENCIES -1.01 0.18 INTEREST RATES -0.60 -3.25 STOCK INDICES -0.95 -0.36 ENERGIES -0.52 -1.04 METALS 3.26 -2.50 AGRICULTURALS 8.72 1.50 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

Consequently, long positions in U.S. stock index futures recorded losses. FACTORS INFLUENCING MONTHLY TRADING GAINS: o In the agricultural markets, gains were generated from long sugar, soybeans, soybean-related products and rough rice positions as prices rallied amid diminished market supply and inflation concerns. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECTRUM TECHNICAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YTD ENDED MONTH ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 APRIL 30, 2004 -------------- -------------- CURRENCIES -2.56 -3.48 INTEREST RATES 1.46 -4.52 STOCK INDICES -0.73 -0.96 ENERGIES 4.34 1.99 METALS 0.96 -1.78 AGRICULTURALS -0.02 -0.27 Note: Reflects trading results only and does not include fees or interest income.

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, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical are Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS & Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL"). Spectrum Currency's clearing commodity broker is MS & Co. 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 profit (loss) 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) in the case of Spectrum Currency, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) 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 partners 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 MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CONTINUED) 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.
