4 F-1000 FUTURES FUND L.P., SERIES IX NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) 1. General F-1000 Futures Fund L.P., Series IX (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of New York on August 25, 1992 to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership maintains a portion of its assets in interest payments stripped from U.S. Treasury Bonds under the Treasury's STRIPS program for which payments are due approximately six years from the date trading commenced ("Zero Coupons"). The Partnership uses such Zero Coupons and its other assets to margin its commodities account. The Partnership commenced trading operations on March 9, 1993. Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), an affiliate of the General Partner, acts as commodity broker for the Partnership. All trading decisions are made for the Partnership by Trendview Management, Inc. and Rabar Market Research, Inc. (collectively, the "Advisors"). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial condition at June 30, 1997 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1996. Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. 5 F-1000 FUTURES FUND L.P., SERIES IX NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. Net Asset Value Per Unit: Changes in net asset value per Unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were as follows: THREE-MONTHS ENDED SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1997 1996 1997 1996 Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) $ (40.03) $ 48.49 $ 35.16 $ 1.81 Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on Zero Coupons 7.09 (6.86) (0.03) (25.05) Interest income 15.33 14.21 30.21 27.89 Expenses (3.97) (5.40) (15.80) (9.10) --------- --------- --------- --------- Increase (decrease) for period (21.58) 50.44 49.54 (4.45) Net Asset Value per Unit, beginning of period 1,235.28 1,069.63 1,164.16 1,124.52 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net Asset Value per Unit, end of period $1,213.70 $1,120.07 $1,213.70 $1,120.07 ========= ========= ========= ========= 3. Trading Activities: The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Partnership's trading activity are shown in the statement of income and expenses. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SB gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options thereon, at June 30, 1997 was $117,636 and the average fair value during the six months then ended, based on monthly calculation was $207,156. 6 4. Financial Instrument Risk: The Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments include forwards, futures and options, whose value is based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the counter ("OTC"). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership has concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership's assets is SB. The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and, accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. 7 The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments, while not recorded in the financial statements, reflect the extent of the Partnership's involvement in these instruments. At June 30, 1997, the notional or contractual amounts of the Partnership's commitment to purchase and sell these instruments was $29,215,179 and $6,429,382, respectively, as detailed below. All of these instruments mature within one year of June 30, 1997 and are exchange traded instruments. However, due to the nature of the Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At June 30, 1997, the fair value of the Partnership's derivatives, including options thereon, was $117,636 as detailed below.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Its only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, Zero Coupons, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures and forward contracts, commodity options and interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a substantial decrease in liquidity no such losses occurred in the Partnership's second quarter of 1997. The Partnership's capital consists of capital contributions, as increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity futures trading and Zero Coupons, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of profits, if any. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Partnership capital decreased 3.6% from $7,756,766 to $7,480,050. This decrease was attributable to the redemption of 500 Units resulting in an outflow of $612,138 during the six months ended June 30, 1997. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods. Results of Operations During the Partnership's second quarter of 1997, the net asset value per Unit decreased 1.7% from $1,235.28 to $1,213.70 as compared to the second quarter of 1996 in which the net asset value per Unit increased 4.7%. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before commissions and expenses in the second quarter of 1997 of $193,542. Losses were recognized in the trading of currencies, U.S. and non U.S. interest rates, energy, grains, livestock and metals and were partially offset by gains in indices and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before commissions and expenses in the second quarter of 1996 of $516,195. Gains were recognized in the trading of energy products, currencies, agricultural products and metals and were partially offset by losses in interest rates and indices. Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to identify correctly those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, 9 weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations. Interest income on 75% of the Partnership's daily average equity maintained in cash was earned on the monthly average 13-week U.S. Treasury bill yield. Also included in interest income is the amortization of original issue discount on the Zero Coupons based on the interest method. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased by $31,694 and $62,167, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to the effect of redemptions on the Partnership's Zero Coupons and equity maintained in cash. Brokerage commissions are calculated on the adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and, therefore, vary according to trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Commissions and clearing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased by $9,091 and $9,123, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. All trading decisions for the Partnership are currently being made by the Advisors. Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased by $2,256 and $1,648, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by each Advisor as defined in the advisory agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 resulted in incentive fees of $0, and $50,954, respectively. Trading performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 resulted in incentive fees of $20,099. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings - None Item 2.
