Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of Business. Smith Barney Mid-West Futures
Fund L. P. II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on June 3,
1994 under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The objective of the
Partnership is to achieve substantial appreciation of its assets through
speculative trading, directly and indirectly, in commodity interests, including
spot and forward contracts on foreign currencies, commodity options and
commodity futures contracts including futures and options contracts involving
interest rates, international stock exchange indexes, and base and precious
metals. The Partnership commenced trading on September 1, 1994. Redemptions
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994 are reported in the Statements of Partners' Capital under
"Item 13. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The Partnership's trading of futures contracts on
commodities is done primarily on United States commodities exchanges and may,
to a lesser extent, be done on some foreign commodity exchanges. It engages in
such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with its
commodity broker, Smith Barney Inc. ("SB").
The General Partner
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., a corporation formed
under the laws of the State of Delaware, is the General Partner of the
Partnership (the "General Partner"). The General Partner is registered as a
commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). Registration as a commodity pool operator or as
a commodity trading advisor requires annual filings setting forth the
organization and identity of the management and controlling persons of the
commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor. In addition, the CFTC has
authority under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA") to require
and review books and records of, and review documents prepared by, a commodity
pool operator or a commodity trading advisor. The CFTC has adopted regulations
which impose certain disclosure, reporting and record-keeping requirements on
commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors. The CFTC is authorized
to suspend a person's registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity
trading advisor if the CFTC finds that such person's trading practices tend to
disrupt orderly market conditions, that any controlling person thereof is
subject to an order of the CFTC denying such person trading privileges on any
exchange, and in certain other circumstances.
The Advisor
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership
(the "Limited Partnership Agreement") the General Partner has sole
<PAGE>3
responsibility for the administration of the business and affairs of the
Partnership, but may delegate trading discretion to one or more trading
advisors. The General Partner currently has a Management Agreement in effect
with John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "JWH"), pursuant to which
the Advisor manages the Partnership's assets. Pursuant to the express terms of
the Management Agreement, the Advisor is considered to be an independent
contractor of the Partnership. The Advisor has managed the Partnership's assets
since the Partnership's commencement of trading. The General Partner selected
the Advisor on the basis of the trading strategies employed by the Advisor as
well as the Advisor's previous experience in managing commodity trading accounts
and the background and experience of the principals of the Advisor.
The Advisor has been instructed to use initially only its
Financial and Metals Portfolio trading program for the Partnership's account.
The Financial and Metals Portfolio participates in four primary financial
sectors - world currencies, precious metals, global interest rates, and U.S. and
non-U.S. stock indexes - and initiates trades according to trend-emergence and
computerized determination of relative risk. The Financial and Metals Portfolio
is designed to take advantage of global price trends, while maintaining a
long-term perspective. Trading is based upon the Advisor's disciplined,
technical trading strategy which includes the use of sophisticated risk control
techniques. The Financial and Metals Portfolio may take long, short or neutral
positions in markets within the four groups traded, may use stop orders and
commits 10-to-30% of equity to margin on open positions. Because assets are
concentrated in financial futures and metals only, volatility can be higher than
in a more diversified portfolio.
The trading strategy used by the Advisor for the Partnership
will generally be the same as the strategy used for all other accounts in the
Financial and Metals Portfolio with similar equity. From time to time accounts
in the portfolio that trade at other commodity brokers may not include all of
the markets which the Advisor intends to trade for the Partnership due to
operational difficulties that certain commodity brokers have in providing access
to certain foreign markets. Nonetheless, the trading strategy the Advisor will
utilize for the Partnership will in fact be materially similar to the strategy
used for other Financial and Metals Portfolio accounts. The General Partner may,
in its discretion, acting in the best interests of the limited partners,
allocate and reallocate all or a portion of the Partnership's assets among the
other trading programs operated by the Advisor; however, the General Partner
does not anticipate any material changes in the allocation of the Partnership's
assets for the remainder of 1996.
<PAGE>4
The quantitative models of the Advisor are guided by a
proprietary set of mathematical formulas that provide signals for investment
decisions integrated within a disciplined money-management framework. The
Advisor's trading techniques focus on long-term trends rather than day-to-day
price fluctuations. Positions held for two to four months are not unusual, and
positions have been held for more than one year. Historically, only thirty to
forty percent of all trades made pursuant to the trading methods have been
profitable. Large profits on a few trades in positions that typically exist for
several months have produced favorable overall results. Generally, the majority
of losing trades have been liquidated within weeks. The greatest cumulative
percentage decline in daily net asset value the Advisor has experienced in any
single program was nearly sixty percent. Investors should understand that
similar or greater drawdowns are possible in the future.
The Advisor at its sole discretion may override
computer-generated trading signals, and may at times use discretion in the
application of its quantitative models which may affect performance positively
or negatively. Subjective aspects of the Advisor's trading systems also include
the determination of program leverage, commencement of trading in an account,
contracts traded, contract month selection, markets traded, margin utilization,
and effective trade execution.
In an effort to maintain and improve performance, the Advisor
has engaged, and continues to engage, in an extensive program of research. While
the basic parameters underlying the firm's investment approach have remained
intact throughout its history, the potential benefits of employing more than one
trading parameter alternatively, or in varying combinations, is a subject of
continual testing, review and evaluation. Extensive research and analysis may
suggest substitution of alternative parameters with respect to particular
contracts in light of relative differences in historical trading performance
achieved through testing different parameters. In addition, risk management
research and analysis may suggest modifications regarding the relative weighting
among various contracts, the addition or deletion of particular contracts for a
program or a change in the degree of leverage employed.
As capital in JWH trading program increases, additional
emphasis and weighting may be placed on certain markets which have historically
demonstrated the greatest liquidity and profitability. Furthermore, the
weighting of capital committed to various markets in the investment programs is
dynamic, and the Advisor may vary the weighting at its discretion as market
conditions, liquidity, position limit considerations and other factors warrant.
Investors will generally not be informed of changes.
Leverage adjustments have been and continue to be an integral
part of the Advisor's trading methods. At its
<PAGE>5
discretion, the Advisor may adjust leverage in certain markets or entire
trading programs. Leverage adjustments may be made at certain times for some
trading programs but not for others. Factors which may affect the decision to
adjust leverage include ongoing research, program volatility, current market
volatility, risk exposure, and subjective judgment and evaluation of these and
other general market conditions. Such decisions to change leverage may
positively or negatively affect performance, and will alter risk exposure for
an account. Leverage adjustments may lead to greater profits or losses, more
frequent and larger margin calls, and greater brokerage expense. No assurance
is given that such leverage adjustments will be to the financial advantage of
the Partnership. The Advisor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
adjust its leverage policy without notification to the Partnership.
The Advisor has developed procedures for trading fund
accounts, such as the Partnership, that provide for the addition, redemption
and/or reallocation of capital. Investors who purchase or redeem units in a fund
are most frequently permitted to do so at a price equal to the net asset value
per unit on the close of business on the last business day of the month or
quarter. In addition, funds often may reallocate capital among advisors at the
close of business on the last business day of the month. In order to provide
market exposure commensurate with equity in the account on the date of these
transactions, the Advisor's general practice is to adjust positions as near as
possible to the close of business on the last trading date of the month. The
intention is to provide for additions, redemptions and reallocations at a net
asset value per unit that will be the same for each of these transactions and to
eliminate possible variation in net asset value per unit that could occur as a
result of inter-day price changes when additions are calculated on the first day
of the subsequent month. Therefore, the Advisor may, in its sole discretion,
adjust its investment of the assets associated with the addition, redemption and
reallocation of capital as near as possible to the close of business on the last
business day of the month to reflect the amount then available for trading.
Based on the Advisor's determination of liquidity or other market conditions,
the Advisor may decide to commence trading earlier in the day on, or before, the
last business day of the month. In the case of an addition to a fund account,
the Advisor may also, in its sole discretion, delay the actual start of trading
for those new assets. No assurance is given that the Advisor will be able to
achieve the objectives described above in connection with funding level changes.
The use of discretion in the application of this procedure by the Advisor may
affect performance positively or negatively.
The Investment Policy Committee is one vehicle for
decision-making at JWH about the content and application of JWH trading
programs. Composition of the Investment Policy Committee, and participation in
its discussions and decisions by non-members, may vary over time.
<PAGE>6
Redemption of Units
A limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem some
or all of its Units (minimum 10 Units) at Net Asset Value per Unit as of the
last day of a month (the "Redemption Date"). No redemption will be permitted if
after giving effect to the redemption the limited partner owns fewer than 10
Units. The right to redeem is contingent upon the Partnership's having property
sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the Redemption Date and upon receipt
by the General Partner by registered mail of a request for redemption at least
15 days prior to the Redemption Date. Because Net Asset Value fluctuates daily,
limited partners will not know the Net Asset Value applicable to their
redemption at the time a notice of redemption is submitted. Payment for a
redeemed interest will be made within 10 business days following the Redemption
Date. There is no fee charged to limited partners in connection with
redemptions. The General Partner reserves the right in its sole discretion to
permit redemptions more frequently than monthly and to waive the 15-day notice
period. The General Partner may also, at its sole discretion and upon 10 days'
notice to a limited partner, require that any limited partner redeem his Units
if such redemption is in the best interests of the Partnership.

Break-Even Point. The break-even point per Unit (that is, the
trading profit the Partnership must realize in the first year of a limited
partner's investment so that such investment at the end of the year is equal to
its value at the beginning of the year), assuming a limited partner purchases
Units at $1,000 each as of the beginning of the year and redeems its Units at
the end of the first year of its investment, is 7.99%, or $79.86 per Unit. Each
of the above fees and expenses have been calculated in a sequence similar to the
actual methodology used by the Partnership. Such fee and expense amounts, and
the percentage of selling price per Unit, reflect the Partnership's effective
expense amounts. For example, the brokerage fee amount of $66.41 has been
calculated by adding interest income of $37.60 to the selling price per Unit of
$1,000 and multiplying the result by
<PAGE>7
the brokerage fee and commission rate of 6.4%. The Advisor's management fee and
the General Partner's administrative fee have been calculated on the basis of
assets after the addition of the interest income and the subtraction of the
brokerage commissions.
(1) Interest Income. All of the Partnership's funds are
deposited in cash in its trading account at SB. SB deposits the cash in
segregated bank accounts as required by CFTC regulations. At December 31, 1995,
the amount of cash held for minimum margin requirements was $4,934,929. Total
cash in the Partnership account was $37,848,599. Such accounts do not earn
interest. However, SB will pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average
daily equity maintained in cash in its accounts during each month at the rate of
the average non-competitive yield of 30-day U.S. Treasury Bills as determined at
the weekly auctions thereof during the month.
(2) Brokerage Fees and Commissions. Pursuant to the terms of
the customer agreement entered into with SB (the "Customer Agreement"), the
Partnership is obligated to pay a monthly commodity brokerage fee equal to 1/2
of 1% of month-end Net Assets (6% per year) in lieu of brokerage commissions on
a per trade basis. The brokerage fee does not include exchange, clearing, floor
brokerage and NFA fees which will be borne by the Partnership and which are
payable to third parties on a per transaction basis regardless of how many or
how few trades are executed during the month. Although it is impossible to
predict exactly the amount of these per transaction fees payable by the
Partnership to third parties, based on the past performance of the Advisor, the
aggregate of such fees is estimated at approximately .4% of Net Assets per year.
In 1995, the Partnership paid approximately $66,000 in such fees, which is equal
to approximately .2% of the Partnership's Net Assets at December 31, 1995.
Pursuant to the Customer Agreement, SB will execute
transactions for the Partnership's account in accordance with orders placed by
the Advisor. The services to be provided by SB include the execution of orders
and the rendering of bookkeeping and clerical assistance to the Partnership and
the General Partner. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by
either party.
(3) The Advisor's Fee. The Partnership pays the Advisor a
monthly management fee equal to 4% per year of month-end Net Assets. In
addition, the Partnership pays to the Advisor an incentive fee equal to 15% of
New Trading Profits earned by the Advisor during each quarter. The incentive fee
is not included in computing the break-even point per Unit since it is paid, if
at all, after payment of all expenses. New Trading Profits means the excess, if
any, of Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the fiscal quarter over
Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest previous fiscal
quarter
<PAGE>8
or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor at the date trading commences, whichever
is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the effect on Net Assets
resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions, reallocations or capital
distributions, if any, made during the fiscal quarter decreased by interest or
other income not directly related to trading activity, earned on the
Partnership's assets during the fiscal quarter. For the year ended December 31,
1995, the Partnership paid to the Advisor $1,178,635 in management fees and
$829,781 in incentive fees.
(4) The General Partner's Administrative Fee. The Partnership
pays the General Partner a monthly administrative fee equal to 1% per year of
month-end Net Assets of the Partnership in return for its services to the
Partnership.
(5) Offering Expenses. SB initially bore all of the initial
offering and organizational expenses of the Partnership which were approximately
$128,000. Offering expenses incurred in the Continuous Offering are estimated at
approximately $25,000 per year (.09% of Net Assets) and will be borne by the
Partnership.
(6) Other Operating Expenses. The Partnership pays its ongoing
legal, accounting, filing and reporting fees estimated at approximately $50,000
per year (or .18% of Net Assets). In 1995, the Partnership incurred
approximately $64,000 in such fees.
Conflicts of Interest
The General Partner is wholly owned by Smith Barney Holdings,
Inc., which is the sole owner of SB. Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Travelers Group, Inc., a publicly-held company whose shares
are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and which is engaged in various
financial services and other businesses. The General Partner is the surviving
corporation of a merger that occurred on August 2, 1993 merging three commodity
pool operators: Smith Barney Futures Partners, Inc., Lehman Brothers Capital
Management Corp. and Hutton Commodity Management, Inc.
Relationship among the Partnership, the General Partner and
SB. The General Partner is an affiliate of SB, which acts as the commodity
broker/dealer for the Partnership. Financial Consultants who sell Units in this
offering will receive a portion of the brokerage commissions paid to SB.
Consequently, these Financial Consultants may have a conflict of interest
between their obligations to advise limited partners with respect to the
purchase of additional Units or redemption of Units and their interest in
continuing to receive commissions and fees from SB. Because the General Partner
is an affiliate of SB, the General Partner has a potential conflict of interest
in its decision to replace the Partnership's futures commission
<PAGE>9
merchant, if necessary. In addition, the flat rate brokerage fee to be paid by
the Partnership to SB may not have been set by "arm's length" negotiation. The
General Partner may have a conflict of interest between its responsibility to
manage the Partnership for the benefit of the limited partners and its interest
in selecting trading advisors that will generate a small number of trades thus
incurring small amounts of charges incidental to trading (such as NFA fees) so
that Net Assets, from which SB's and the General Partner's fees are paid,
remain relatively higher. The General Partner may, in its discretion, allocate
and reallocate all or a portion of the Partnership's assets among the trading
programs operated by the Advisor, or select and appoint additional or
replacement trading advisors, if it is determined that such change is in the
best interests of the limited partners.
Notwithstanding the potential conflicts of interest resulting
from these multiple relationships, the Limited Partnership Agreement
specifically permits the General Partner to enter into contracts on behalf of
the Partnership with or for the benefit of the General Partner and SB. Such
contracts include the Customer Agreement with respect to brokerage services to
be entered into by the Partnership and SB.
Brokerage Rate to be Charged by the Commodity Broker. Pursuant
to the Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SB, SB acts as the
commodity broker for the Partnership. Because the General Partner is an
affiliate of SB, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest between its
responsibility to manage the Partnership for the benefit of the limited partners
and its interest in obtaining brokerage rates which are favorable to SB. SB will
charge the Partnership a monthly flat rate brokerage fee equal to 6% per year of
month-end Net Assets of the Partnership. This rate may be changed at any time by
SB. Although the Customer Agreement will be non-exclusive, so that the
Partnership will have the right to seek lower brokerage rates from other brokers
at any time, the General Partner believes that the arrangements between the
Partnership and SB are consistent with arrangements other comparable commodity
pools have entered into with other futures commission merchants and are fair to
the Partnership and, further, does not intend to negotiate with SB to obtain
lower commission rates or to refer brokerage transactions to other firms.
Accounts of SB, the General Partner, the Advisor and their
Affiliates. SB, SBFM and their respective officers, directors and employees
may trade in commodity interests for their own account. The records of these
accounts also will not be made available to clients. The records of such
trading will not be available for inspection by limited partners. In addition,
SB is a futures commission merchant and effects transactions in commodity
futures and options for its customers. Thus, it is possible that SB could
effect transactions for the Partnership in which the other
<PAGE>10
parties to the transactions are its officers, directors or employees or its
customers. Such persons might also compete with the Partnership in making
purchases or sales of contracts without knowing that the Partnership is also
bidding on such contracts.
JWH and Mr. Henry engage in discretionary trading for their
own accounts, and may trade for the purpose of testing new investment programs
and concepts, as long as such trading does not amount to a breach of fiduciary
duty. In the course of such trading, JWH and Mr. Henry may take positions in
their own accounts which are the same or opposite from client positions, and
on occasion orders may be filled better for their accounts than for client
accounts due to testing a new quantitative model or program, a neutral
allocation system, and/or trading pursuant to individual discretionary
methods. Records for these accounts will not be made available to clients.
Employees and principals of JWH (other than Mr. Henry) are not permitted to
trade on a discretionary basis in futures, options on futures or forward
contracts. However, such principals and employees may invest in investment
vehicles that trade futures, options on futures, or forward contracts, when an
independent trader manages trading in that vehicle, and in the JWH Employee
Fund, L.P., which is managed by JWH.
ERISA Considerations
The Units in the Partnership which are offered hereby may be
purchased by employee benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The phrase "employee benefit plan"
refers to plans of various types including corporate pension and profit-sharing
plans, "simplified employee pension plans", so-called "Keogh" (H.R. 10) plans
for self-employed individuals, including partners, and "individual retirement
accounts" (or "IRAs") for persons (including employees and self-employed
persons) who receive compensation income.
Units may not be purchased by an employee benefit plan if the
selling agent or its financial consultants, the General Partner or their
affiliates (a) exercise any discretionary authority or discretionary control
respecting management of such employee benefit plan, (b) exercise any authority
or control respecting management or disposition of the assets of such employee
benefit plan, (c) render investment advice for a fee or other compensation,
direct or indirect, with respect to any moneys or other property of such
employee benefit plan, (d) have any authority or responsibility to render
investment advice with respect to any moneys or other property of such employee
benefit plan, or (e) have any discretionary authority or discretionary
responsibility in the administration of such employee benefit plan. For the
purposes of this paragraph, "investment advice" shall mean rendering investment
advice as to the value of securities or other property, or making
recommendations as to the advisability of investing in securities, directly or
indirectly, and either (i) having discretionary authority or control, whether or
not pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or understanding, with respect to
purchasing or selling securities or other property for the plan, or (ii)
rendering such investment advice on a regular basis to the employee benefit plan
pursuant to a mutual agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or
otherwise, between such person and the employee benefit plan or a fiduciary with
respect to such employee benefit plan, that such services will serve as a
primary basis for investment decisions with respect to assets of the employee
benefit plan, and that such person will render individualized investment advice
to the employee benefit plan based on the particular needs of the employee
benefit plan regarding such matters, as, among other things, investment policies
or strategy, overall portfolio composition, or diversification of plan
investments.
Under ERISA, a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan is
required, among other things, to discharge his duties toward such
<PAGE>11
plan with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with
like aims. In considering an investment in the Partnership of a portion of the
assets of an employee benefit plan, a fiduciary having investment
responsibilities with respect to an employee benefit plan should give
appropriate consideration to those facts and circumstances that, given the
scope of his or her investment duties, he or she knows or should know are
relevant to investment in the Partnership, including the role the investment in
the Partnership plays in that portion of the plan's investment portfolio with
respect to which the fiduciary has investment duties.
A fiduciary having investment responsibilities with respect to
an employee benefit plan should consult regulations of the Department of Labor
to determine whether he or she has made appropriate consideration of relevant
factors in investing in the Partnership. In addition to any factors which must
be considered by such fiduciary with respect to investment of assets of an
employee benefit plan in the Partnership under the above regulation, such
fiduciary should also consider (i) whether the investment is in accordance with
the documents and instruments governing said plan, (ii) whether the investment
satisfies the diversification rules of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, if
applicable, (iii) whether the investment will result in unrelated business
taxable income to the plan, (iv) whether the investment provides sufficient
liquidity, (v) the need to value the assets of the plan annually, and (vi)
whether the investment is prudent.
Assets of employee benefit plans ("plan assets") are generally
subject to the fiduciary duty provisions of ERISA and the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). ERISA does not define "plan assets", however, the
Department of Labor has published a final regulation defining the term "plan
assets" (the "Final Regulation") for purposes of Title I of ERISA and section
4975 of the Code. Under the Final Regulation, generally, when a plan makes an
equity investment in another entity, the underlying assets of that entity will
be considered plan assets unless (i) the equity interest is a "publicly offered"
security or a security issued by an investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (ii) the entity is an "operating
company", or (iii) equity participation by "benefit plan investors" is not
"significant".
The Units will not be deemed to be "publicly offered"
securities for purposes of the Final Regulation. In addition, the Partnership is
not an "operating company" within the meaning of the Final Regulation. The final
exception to the "plan assets" rule is for investment in entities in which there
is not "significant" investment by "benefit plan investors". "Benefit plan
investors" include employee benefit plans subject to ERISA
<PAGE>12
as well as plans not subject to ERISA, such as governmental plans, IRAs and
non-U.S. plans. Investment by benefit plan investors is not "significant" as
defined in the Final Regulation if the aggregate investment by benefit plan
investors in each class of equity securities of the investment entity is less
than 25%. Determinations of the percentage of participation by benefit plan
investors must be made after each investment or redemption, and investments
held by the investment entity's managers, investment advisers and their
affiliates must be disregarded.
The Partnership intends to qualify under the significant plan
exception in the Final Regulation by monitoring the percentage investment by
benefit plan investors and maintaining it below 25%. In order to accomplish
this, the subscription agreement requires that an employee benefit plan must
redeem its Units upon notice from the General Partner.
In the unlikely event that the Partnership were deemed to hold
plan assets, prohibited transactions could arise under ERISA and section 4975 of
the Code. In addition, investment by a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan
could be deemed an improper delegation of investment authority, and the
fiduciary could be liable, either directly or under the co-fiduciary rules of
ERISA, for the acts of the General Partner. Additional issues relating to "plan
assets" and "prohibited transactions" of ERISA and the Code arise by virtue of
the General Partner's ownership of interests in the Partnership and the possible
relationship between an affiliate of the General Partner and any employee
benefit plan which may purchase Units. Further, certain transactions between the
Partnership and the General Partner and certain affiliates of the General
Partner could be prohibited transactions.
It should be noted that even if the Partnership's assets are
not deemed to be plan assets, the Department of Labor has stated in Interpretive
Bulletin 75-2 (29 C.F.R. ss.2509.75-2, as amended by the Final Regulation) that
it would consider a fiduciary who makes or retains an investment in a
partnership for the purpose of avoiding application of the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA to be in contravention of the fiduciary
provisions of ERISA. The Department of Labor indicated further that if a plan
invests in or retains its investment in a partnership and as part of the
arrangement it is expected that the partnership will enter into a transaction
with a party in interest to the plan (within the meaning of ERISA) which
involves a direct or indirect transfer to or use by the party in interest of any
assets of the plan, the plan's investment in the partnership would be a
prohibited transaction under ERISA.
A prohibited transaction may result in the imposition of
potential personal liability upon fiduciaries of employee benefit plans subject
to ERISA and an excise tax under section
<PAGE>13
4975 of the Code upon the fiduciary or other disqualified person with respect
to the Plan. A fiduciary that has engaged in a prohibited transaction would be
required to (i) restore to the plan any profit realized on the transaction and
(ii) make good to the plan any losses suffered by the plan as a result of such
investment. The fiduciary or other disqualified person involved would be liable
to pay an excise tax of 5% of the amount involved in the prohibited transaction
for each year in which the investment is in place and would be required to
eliminate the prohibited transaction by reversing the transaction and making
good to the plan any losses resulting from the prohibited transaction. If the
transaction is not corrected within a certain time period, the fiduciary or
other disqualified person could also be liable for an additional excise tax in
an amount equal to 100% of the amount involved.
In addition to liability for plan losses, ERISA imposes a
civil penalty against fiduciaries of employee benefit plans who breach the
prudence or other fiduciary standards of ERISA and against non-fiduciaries who
knowingly participate in the transaction giving rise to the breach. A prohibited
transaction by an employee benefit plan fiduciary would constitute a breach of
the ERISA fiduciary standards. The civil penalty is equal to 20% of the amount
recovered from a fiduciary or non-fiduciary with respect to such breach or
knowing participation pursuant to a settlement agreement with the United States
Secretary of Labor or a court order resulting from a proceeding instituted by
the Secretary. The penalty may be waived and, in any event, would be offset to
the extent of the responsible party's liability for excise tax under section
4975 of the Code.
Each limited partner will be furnished with monthly statements
and annual reports which include the Net Asset Value per Unit. The General
Partner believes that these statements will be sufficient to permit plan
fiduciaries to provide an annual valuation of plan investments as required by
ERISA; however, fiduciaries should note that they have the ultimate
responsibility for providing such valuation. Accordingly, plan fiduciaries
should consult with their attorneys or other advisors regarding their
obligations under ERISA with respect to making such valuations.
Plan fiduciaries should understand the illiquid nature of an
investment in the Partnership and that a secondary market may not exist for a
Unit. Accordingly, plan fiduciaries should review both anticipated and
unanticipated liquidity needs for their respective plans, particularly those for
a participant's termination of employment, retirement, death, disability or plan
termination. Plan fiduciaries should be aware that distributions to participants
may be required to commence in the year after the participant attains age
70-1/2.

(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
(1) Liquidity. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or
services. Its only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading
account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on open futures contracts 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. Such
substantial losses could lead to a material loss in liquidity. To minimize this
risk, the Partnership follows certain trading policies, including:
(i) Partnership funds are invested only in futures contracts which are
traded in sufficient volume to permit, in the opinion of the Advisor, ease of
taking and liquidating positions.
(ii) The Partnership diversifies its positions among various
commodities. The Advisor does not initiate additional positions in any commodity
for the Partnership if such additional positions would result in aggregate
positions for all commodities requiring a margin of more than 66-2/3% of net
assets of the Partnership managed by the Advisor.
(iii) The Partnership may occasionally accept delivery of a commodity.
Unless such delivery is disposed of promptly by retendering the warehouse
receipt representing the delivery to the appropriate clearing house, the
physical commodity position is fully hedged. The Partnership's ability to
accept delivery of a commodity has been adopted as a trading policy in order to
protect the Partnership in the extraordinary event that the Advisor fails to
heed the time of expiration of a commodity contract. Since the commencement of
its operations, the Partnership has never accepted delivery of a commodity and,
under ordinary circumstances, has no intention of accepting delivery in the
future.
(iv) The Partnership does not employ the trading technique commonly
known as "pyramiding", in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on
existing positions as margin for the purchases or sale of additional positions
in the same or related commodities.
(v) The Partnership does not utilize borrowings except short-term
borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
(vi) The Advisor may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such
as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. The term "spread" or
"straddle" describes a commodity futures trading strategy involving the
simultaneous buying and selling of futures contracts on the same commodity but
involving different delivery dates or markets and in which the trader expects to
earn a profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference between the prices
of the contracts.
<PAGE>16
(vii) The Partnership will not permit the churning of its commodity
trading account.
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, or to
purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified terms at specified
futures dates. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to
those relating to the underlying financial instruments including market and
credit risk. The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership 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. (See
also "Item 13. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further
information on financial instrument risk included in the notes to financial
statements.)
Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures trading, the
Partnership knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties
which will result in or which are reasonably likely to result in the
Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The
Limited Partnership Agreement provided that the General Partner may, in its
discretion, cause the Partnership to cease trading operations and liquidate all
open positions under certain circumstances including a decrease in Net Asset
Value per Unit to less than $350 as of the close of business on any business
day.
As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had privately offered
46,832.7352 Units of limited partnership interest resulting in aggregate
proceeds to the Partnership of $51,529,869, which includes proceeds of
$9,421,000 from the initial offering of 9,421 Units of limited partnership
interest. All of the proceeds of the Partnership's offering of its Units are
deposited in its commodity trading account at SB where they are available to
margin the Partnership's commodity futures trading.
The Partnership is currently privately offering additional
Units. There is no limit on the number of Units that may be sold by the
Partnership; however the Partnership currently contemplates offering a maximum
of 60,000 Units.
<PAGE>17
(2) Capital Resources. (i) The Partnership has made no material
commitments for capital expenditures.
(ii) The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions
of the partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity
futures trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and
distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on commodity futures trading
cannot be predicted. Market moves in commodities are dependent upon fundamental
and technical factors which the Partnership may or may not be able to identify,
such as changing supply and demand relationships, weather, government
agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and
international political and economic events and changes in interest rates.
Partnership expenses consist of, among other things, commissions, management
fees and incentive fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon the
level of trading and the ability of the Advisor to identify and take advantage
of price movements in the commodity markets, in addition to the level of Net
Assets maintained. The amount of interest income payable by SB is dependent
upon interest rates over which the Partnership has no control. No forecast can
be made as to the level of redemptions in any given period. In the six months
ended June 30, 1996, 1,804.9169 Units were redeemed for a total of $2,217,657.
In 1995, 6,145.4511 Units were redeemed for a total of $7,436,822. In 1994,
286 Units were redeemed for a total of $264,427.
(c) Results of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
the net asset value per Unit increased 2.0% from $1,218.06 to $1,242.33.
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the net asset value per Unit increased
31.7% from $924.57 to $1,218.06. For the period from September 1, 1994
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994, the net asset value per
Unit decreased 7.5% from $1,000.00 to $924.57. "Net Assets" is defined as the
total assets of the Partnership including all cash, accrued interest, and the
market value of all open commodity positions maintained by the Partnership,
less brokerage charges accrued and less all other liabilities of the
Partnership. Net Assets equal Net Asset Value. Net Asset Value of a Unit means
Net Asset Value divided by the number of Units outstanding.
The Partnership experienced net trading gains of $2,584,075
and $9,862,524 before commissions and expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995, respectively. Gains for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were recognized in the trading of commodity
futures in currencies and metals which were partially offset by losses
recognized in indices and interest rates. Trading gains for the year
ended December 31, 1995 were primarily attributable to gains recognized in
currency, interest rate and stock index futures contracts which were partially
offset by losses incurred in the trading of commodity futures in precious
metals. The Partnership experienced net trading losses of $828,726 before
commissions and expenses for the period ended December 31, 1994. These trading
losses were primarily attributable to losses incurred in currency and stock
index futures contracts which were partially offset by gains recognized in the
trading of commodity futures in interest rates and precious metals.
<PAGE>18
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 Advisor to identify correctly those price trends. These price trends are
influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships,
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 Advisor is able to
identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
The business reason for the success or failure of the
Partnership's operations in any given period (including the six months ended
June 30, 1996, the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period from September
1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994) is the relative
success or failure of the Advisor's technical trading strategy in trading the
various worldwide commodity markets during the relevant periods. In addition,
during the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period from September 1, 1994
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994, the Partnership sold
18,408.1696 and 10,194.9915 Units of limited partnership interest,
respectively, resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Partnership of
$21,242,100 in 1995 and $10,028,000 in 1994. There were additional sales of
8,808.5741 Units of limited partnership interest resulting in aggregate
proceeds of $10,838,769 for the six months ending June 30, 1996. The increase
in the Partnership's capital over that period entailed a commensurate increase
in the Partnership's contracts traded on various markets worldwide with an
increased exposure to the possibility of gain or loss on any given contract.
There is no assurance that the Partnership's performance in the past will be
the same or different in the future.
Item 3. Properties.
The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The
General Partner operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, SB.
<PAGE>19
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners. The Partnership
knows of no person who beneficially owns more than 5% of the Units outstanding.
(b) Security ownership of management. Under the terms of the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership's affairs are managed by the General
Partner. See Item 1(a), "General Development of Business Conflicts of Interests
for a description of the entities that control the General Partner. As of June
30, 1996, none of the directors and executive officers of the General Partner or
the Advisor beneficially owned any Units, except as set forth in the following

Item 11. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.
The Partnership is registering Units of Limited Partnership
Interest, which are privately offered. Profits and losses of the Partnership are
allocated among the partners on a monthly basis in proportion to their capital
accounts (the initial balance of which is the amount paid for their Units).
Distributions of profits will be made at the sole discretion of the General
Partner.
The Units may not be transferred without the consent of the
General Partner except in the case of the death of an individual limited partner
or the termination of an entity that is a limited partner. No transfer or
assignment will be permitted unless the General Partner is satisfied that such
transfer or assignment will not violate federal or state securities laws and
will not jeopardize the Partnership's status as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. No substitution may be made unless the transferor delivers an
instrument of substitution, the transferee adopts the terms of, and executes,
the Limited Partnership Agreement, and the General Partner consents to such
substitution (which consent may be withheld at its sole and absolute
discretion). A transferee who becomes a substituted limited partner will be
subject to all of the rights and liabilities of a limited partner of the
Partnership. A transferee who does not become a substituted limited partner will
be entitled to receive the share of the profits or the return of capital to
which his transferor would otherwise be entitled, but will not be entitled to
vote, to an accounting of Partnership transactions, to receive tax information,
or to inspect the books and records of the Partnership. Under the New York
Revised Limited Partnership Act, an assigning limited partner remains liable to
the Partnership for any amounts for which he may be liable under such law
regardless of whether any assignee to whom he has assigned Units becomes a
substituted limited partner.
<PAGE>30
A limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem some
or all of his Units (minimum 10 Units) at net asset value per Unit as of the
last day of a calendar month (the "Redemption Date") upon 15 days prior written
notice to the General Partner. No redemption will be permitted if, after giving
effect to the redemption, the limited partner owns fewer than 10 Units. The
right to redeem is contingent upon the Partnership's having property sufficient
to discharge its liabilities on the Redemption Date. Payment for a redeemed
interest will be made within 10 business days following the Redemption Date.
There is no fee charged to limited partners in connection with redemptions. The
General Partner reserves the right in its sole discretion to permit redemptions
more frequently than monthly and to waive the 15-day notice period. The General
Partner may also, at its sole discretion and upon 10 days' notice to a limited
partner, require that any limited partner redeem his Units if such redemption
is in the best interests of the Partnership.
Summary of the Limited Partnership Agreement
The following is an explanation of all of the material terms
and provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit 3(ii) hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference. Each
prospective investor should read the Limited Partnership Agreement thoroughly
before investing. The following description is a summary only, is not intended
to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Limited
Partnership Agreement itself.
Liability of Limited Partners
The Partnership was formed under the laws of the State of New
York on June 3, 1994. The General Partner has been advised by its counsel that
except as required by New York law and as set forth in Paragraph 7(f) of the
Limited Partnership Agreement, Units of limited partnership interest purchased
and paid for pursuant to this offering will be fully paid and non-assessable,
and a limited partner will not be liable for amounts in excess of his
contributions to the Partnership and his share of Partnership assets and
undistributed profits. The General Partner will be liable for all obligations of
the Partnership to the extent that assets of the Partnership are insufficient to
discharge such obligations.
Management of Partnership Affairs
The limited partners will not participate in the management or
control of the Partnership. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement,
responsibility for managing the Partnership is vested solely in the General
<PAGE>31
Partner. The General Partner may select one or more trading advisors to direct
all trading for the Partnership. Other responsibilities of the General Partner
include, but are not limited to, the following: reviewing and monitoring the
trading of the trading advisors; administering redemptions of limited partners'
Units; preparing monthly and annual reports to the limited partners; preparing
and filing necessary reports with regulatory authorities; calculating the Net
Asset Value; executing various documents on behalf of the Partnership and the
limited partners pursuant to powers of attorney; and supervising the liquidation
of the Partnership if an event causing dissolution of the Partnership occurs.
Additional Partners
The General Partner has the sole discretion to determine
whether to offer for sale additional Units of limited partnership interest and
to admit additional limited partners. There is no limitation on the number of
Units which may be outstanding at any time. All Units offered by the
Partnership will be sold at the Partnership's then current Net Asset Value per
Unit. The General Partner may make arrangements for the sale of additional
Units in the future.
Dissolution of the Partnership
The affairs of the Partnership will be wound up and the
Partnership liquidated as soon as practicable upon the first to occur of the
following: (i) December 31, 2014; (ii) the vote to dissolve the Partnership by
limited partners owning more than 50% of the Units; (iii) assignment by the
General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership, withdrawal, removal,
bankruptcy or dissolution of the General Partner, unless the Partnership is
continued as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement; (iv) a decline in
Net Asset Value to less than $350 per Unit as of the end of any trading day; or
(v) the occurrence of any event which shall make it unlawful for the existence
of the Partnership to be continued.
Removal or Admission of General Partner
The General Partner may be removed and successor general
partners may be admitted upon the vote of a majority of the outstanding Units.
Amendments; Meetings
The Limited Partnership Agreement may be amended if approved
in writing by the General Partner and limited partners owning more than 50% of
the outstanding Units.
Any limited partner, upon written request addressed to the
General Partner, may obtain from the General Partner a list of the names and
addresses of record of all limited partners and the number of Units held by each
<PAGE>32
for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner's interest as a limited
partner in the Partnership. Upon receipt of a written request, signed by limited
partners owning at least 10% of the outstanding Units, that a meeting of the
Partnership be called to consider any matter upon which limited partners may
vote pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner, by
written notice to each limited partner of record mailed within fifteen days
after such receipt, must call a meeting of the Partnership. Such meeting must be
held at least thirty but not more than sixty days after the mailing of such
notice and the notice must specify the date, a reasonable time and place, and
the purpose of such meeting.
At any such meeting, upon the approval by an affirmative vote
of limited partners owning more than 50% of the Units, the following actions
may be taken: (i) the Limited Partnership Agreement may, with certain
exceptions, be amended; (ii) the Partnership may be dissolved; (iii) the
General Partner may be removed and a new general partner may be admitted; (iv)
a new general partner or general partners may be admitted if the General
Partner elects to withdraw from the Partnership; (v) any contracts with the
General Partner or any of its affiliates or any trading advisor may be
terminated without penalty on 60 days' notice; and (vi) the sale of all assets
of the Partnership may be approved. However, no such action may be taken unless
the General Partner has been furnished with an opinion of counsel that the
action to be taken will not adversely affect the status of the limited partners
as limited partners under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act and that
the action is permitted under such law.
Reports to Limited Partners
The books and records of the Partnership will be maintained at
its principal office and the limited partners have the right at all times during
reasonable business hours to have access to and copy the Partnership's books and
records for a purpose reasonably related to such limited partner's interest as a
limited partner in the Partnership. Within 30 days of the end of each month, the
General Partner will provide the limited partners with a financial report
containing information relating to the Net Assets and Net Asset Value of a Unit
as of the end of such month, as well as other information relating to the
operations of the Partnership which is required to be reported to the limited
partners by CFTC regulations. In addition, if any of the following events occur,
notice thereof will be mailed to each limited partner within 7 business days of
such occurrence: a decrease in the Net Asset Value of a Unit to $350 or less as
of the end of any trading day; any change in trading advisors; any change in
commodity brokers; any change in the General Partner; any material change in the
Partnership's trading policies or any material change in an advisor's trading
strategies. In addition, a certified annual report of financial condition will
<PAGE>33
be distributed to the limited partners not more than 90 days after the close of
the Partnership's fiscal year. Not more than 75 days after the close of the
fiscal year and if required by the then applicable tax law, tax information
necessary for the preparation of the limited partners' annual federal income tax
returns will be distributed to the limited partners.
Income Tax Aspects
The trading activities of the Partnership, in general,
generate capital gain and loss and ordinary income. The Partnership pays no
federal income tax; rather, limited partners are allocated their proportionate
share of the taxable income or losses realized by the Partnership during the
period of the Partnership's taxable year that Units were owned by them.
Unrealized gains on "Section 1256 contracts" (as defined in the Code) held by
the Partnership at the end of its taxable year must be included in income under
the "mark-to-market" rule and will be allocated to partners in proportion to
their respective capital accounts. The mark-to-market rule does not apply to
the Partnership's positions in futures contracts on most foreign exchanges and
in foreign currency forward contracts not in the interbank market, unless the
Partnership elects such treatments under Code Section 988.
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 16 of the Limited Partnership Agreement (attached as
Exhibit 3(ii) hereto) provides for indemnification of the General Partner, its
officers, directors, more than 10% stockholders, and persons who directly or
indirectly control, are controlled by or under common control with the General
Partner. The Registrant is not permitted to indemnify the General Partner or its
affiliates for liabilities resulting from a violation of the Securities Act of
1933 or any State securities law in connection with the offer or sale of the
Units of Limited Partnership Interest.
Section 6 of the Management Agreement (attached as Exhibit
10(a) hereto) provides for indemnification by the General Partner of the Advisor
for any loss, liability, damage, cost, expense (including, without limitation,
attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection with such action, suit, or
proceeding if the Advisor acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership and
provided that its conduct did not constitute negligence, intentional misconduct,
or a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership as a commodity
trading advisor, unless and only to the extent that the court or administrative
forum in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of
the case, the Advisor is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which such court or administrative forum shall deem proper; and further
provided that no indemnification shall be available from the Partnership if such
indemnification is prohibited by Section 16 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement.

(Unaudited)
1. General:
Smith Barney Mid-West Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized on June 3, 1994 under the partnership
laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of
commodity interests, including forward contracts on foreign currencies,
commodity options and commodity futures contracts including futures contracts
on U.S. Treasuries and certain other financial instruments, foreign currencies
and stock indices. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership
are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership
commenced trading operations on September 1, 1994.
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 for the Partnership are being made by John W. Henry &
Company, Inc. (the "Advisor").
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, 1996 and the results of its operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. 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
included in the Partnership's annual report for the year ended December 31,
1995.
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.

</TABLE>
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
activities is shown in the statements 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, 1996 was $2,241,565 and the average fair value during the
six months then ended, based on monthly calculation, was $2,736,738.
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,
<PAGE>
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.
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, 1996, the notional or contractual
amounts of the Partnership's commitment to purchase and sell these instruments
was $281,649,835
<PAGE>
and $194,460,595, respectively, as detailed below. All of these instruments
mature within one year of June 30, 1996. However, due to the nature of the
Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At June
30, 1996, the Partnership had net unrealized trading gains of $2,241,565 as
detailed below.

Smith Barney Mid-West Futures Fund L.P. II
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Partnership Organization:
Smith Barney Mid-West Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized on June 3, 1994 under the
partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative
trading of commodity interests, including forward contracts on foreign
currencies, commodity options and commodity futures contracts including
futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries and certain other financial
instruments, foreign currencies and stock indices. The commodity
interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a
high degree of market risk.
Between July 7, 1994 and August 31, 1994, 9,421 Units of Limited
Partnership Interest ("Units") were sold at $1,000 per Unit. The
proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account until September
1, 1994, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for
trading.
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. is 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 (see Note 3c). The General Partner and each limited partner
share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the
amount of partnership interest owned by each except that no limited
partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of
his initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of
distributions.
The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the
following: December 31, 2014; when the net asset value of a Unit
decreases to less than $350 as of the close of business on any business
day; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited
Partnership Agreement.
2. Accounting Policies:
a. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments
and derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes
The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open
contracts are recorded in the statement of financial condition at
market value for those commodity interests for which market
quotations are readily available or at fair value on the last
business day of the year Investments in commodity interests
denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the year.
Realized gain (loss) and changes in unrealized values on commodity
interests are recognized in the period in which the contract is
closed or the changes occur and are included in net gains (losses)
on trading of commodity interests
b. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually
liable for the taxes, if any, on his share of the Partnership's
income and expenses
c. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates
3 Agreements:
a. Limited Partnership Agreement:
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the
Partnership including selecting one or more advisors to make trading
decisions for the Partnership. The Partnership will pay the General
Partner a monthly administrative fee in return for its services to
the Partnership equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% per year) of month-end Net
Assets of the Partnership, as defined. This fee may be increased or
decreased at the discretion of the General Partner.
F-6
<PAGE>
Smith Barney Mid-West Futures Fund L.P. II
Notes to Financial Statements
b. Management Agreement:
The Management Agreement that the General Partner, on behalf of the
Partnership, entered into with the advisor (John W. Henry & Co.,
Inc.) (the "Advisor"), provides that the Advisor has sole discretion
in determining the investment of the assets of the Partnership
allocated to the Advisor by the General Partner. As compensation for
services, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor a monthly
management fee of 1/3 of 1% (4% per year) of month-end Net Assets
managed by the Advisor (as defined) and an incentive fee, payable
quarterly, equal to 15% of the New Trading Profits of the
Partnership (as defined). The Management Agreement is effective
until June 30, 1996 at which time it may be renewed at the sole
discretion of the General Partner.
c. Customer Agreement
The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement with SB
whereby SB provides services which include, among other things, the
execution of transactions for the Partnership's account in
accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. The Partnership is
obligated to pay a monthly brokerage fee to SB equal to 1/2 of 1% of
month end Net Assets (6% per year) in lieu of per transaction fees
regardless of how many or how few trades are executed during the
month. A portion of this fee is paid to employees of SB who have
sold Units of the Partnership. This fee does not include exchange,
clearing, floor brokerage and NFA fees which will be borne by the
Partnership. All of the Partnership's assets are deposited in the
Partnership's account at SB. The Partnership's cash is deposited by
SB in segregated bank accounts as required by Commodity Futures
Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 1995, the amount of
cash held for margin requirements was $4,934,929. SB will pay the
Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained
in cash in its account during each month at the rate of the average
non-competitive yield of 30 day U.S. Treasury Bills as determined at
the weekly auctions thereof during the month. The Customer Agreement
between the Partnership and SB gives the Partnership the legal
right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement
may be terminated by either party.
4. 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.
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 December 31, 1995 was $1,455,058 and the
average fair value during the year then ended, based on monthly
calculation, was $1,903,653.
5. Distributions and Redemptions:
Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion
of the General Partner; however, a limited partner may redeem all or
some of his Units (minimum ten Units) at the Net Asset Value thereof as
of the last day of any month beginning with the first full month ending
at least three months after trading commences on fifteen days written
notice to the General Partner, provided that no redemption may result
in the limited partner holding fewer than ten Units after such
redemption is effected.
6. Organization and Offering Costs:
Offering and organization expenses of $128,173 relating to the issuance
and marketing of units offered were initially paid by SB. The
Partnership has reimbursed SB for all such expenses from interest paid
to the Partnership and has recorded such reimbursement amounts as an
expense.

7. Net Asset Value Per Unit:
Changes in the net asset value per Unit for the year ended December 31,
1995 and for the period ended December 31, 1994 were as follows:
1995 1994
--------- --------
Net realized

Unit, beginning of period 924.57 1,000.00
--------- --------
Net asset value per

========= ========
8. 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 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 December
31, 1995, the notional or contractual amounts of the Partnership's
commitment to purchase and sell these instruments was approximately
$314,216,000 and $80,966,000, respectively, as detailed below. All of
these instruments mature within one year of December 31, 1995.
However, due to the nature of the Partnership's business, these
instruments may not be held to maturity. At December 31, 1995, the
Partnership had net unrealized trading gains of approximately
$1,455,000, as detailed below.

SMITH BARNEY FUTURES MANAGEMENT INC.
(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF SMITH BARNEY HOLDINGS INC.)
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
1. ORGANIZATION
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. (the "Company") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBHI"). The Company's ultimate parent
company is Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers"). The Company is registered as a
commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The
Company was organized and is authorized to act as a general partner for the
management of investment funds. At December 31, 1995, the Company is the general
partner for 18 limited partnerships and trading manager for 1 offshore
corporation with total assets of $544,056,106, total liabilities of $27,200,681
and total partners' capital of $516,855,425. The limited partnerships are
organized to engage in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts
and other commodity interests. The Company's responsibilities as the general
partner are described in the various limited partnership agreements. The Company
has a general partner's liability, which is unlimited (except to the extent it
may be limited by contract) with respect to the partnerships.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the statement of financial condition. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments issued by an
affiliate, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Investments in limited partnerships, at equity, are valued at the Company's
proportionate share of the net asset values as reported by the limited
partnerships. The limited partnerships value positions at the closing market
quotations on the last business day of the year.
Under the terms of each of the limited partnership agreements for which it
is a general partner, the Company is solely responsible for managing the
partnership. Other responsibilities are disclosed in each limited partnership
agreement. The Company is required to make a capital contribution to each such
partnership. The Limited Partnership Agreements generally require the General
Partner to maintain a cash investment in the partnerships equal to the greater
of (i) an amount which will entitle the General Partner to an interest of 1% in
each material item of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and
(ii) the greater of (a) 1% of the aggregate capital contributions of all
partners or (b) a minimum of $25,000. While it is the general partner thereof,
it may not reduce its percentage interest in such partnerships to less than such
required level, as defined in each partnership agreement. The Company has also
agreed that so long as it remains the general partner, it will at all times
maintain its net worth, as defined in the limited partnership agreements
(excluding its investment in each such partnership), at an amount not less than
10% of the total contributions to the partnerships by all partners. SBHI will
contribute such amounts of additional capital to the Company, all or part of
which may be contributed by a note (see Note 3), so that the Company maintains
its net worth requirement. The Company further agrees that it will not be a
general partner of any additional limited partnerships unless at all times when
it is general partner of any such additional partnership its net worth shall be
at least equal to the net worth required by the preceding sentence plus, for
each such additional partnership, an amount equal (excluding its investment in
each such partnership) to 10% of the total contributions to such partnership.
Receivable from limited partnerships includes deferred offering costs which
represent payments made by the Company on behalf of certain funds during their
original offering, such as legal fees, printing costs, etc. These costs are
deferred until the funds commence operations and then are reimbursed over a
period varying from eighteen to twenty-four months or as interest income is
earned by the fund in accordance with the funds' prospectus. The unreimbursed
organizational and offering costs at December 31, 1995 are approximately

management fees and commissions from certain partnerships as defined by the
partnership agreements.
All financial instruments in the statement of financial condition
approximate fair value as they are short term or carried at fair value as of
December 31, 1995.
3. NOTE RECEIVABLE
The note receivable consists of a $58,000,000 demand note dated June 22,
1994 which is non-interest bearing. The demand note was issued to the Company by
SBHI.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Substantially all transactions of the Company, including the allocation of
certain income and expenses, are with SBHI, limited partnerships of which it is
the general partner, and other affiliates. Receivable from affiliate represents
amounts due from Smith Barney Inc. for interest income, advisory fees, and
commissions. Payable to affiliates includes amounts due to SBHI and other
affiliates.
5. INCOME TAXES
Under income tax allocation agreements with SBHI and Travelers, the
Company's Federal, state, and local income taxes are provided on a separate
return basis and are subject to utilization of tax attributes in Travelers
consolidated income tax provision. Under the tax sharing agreement with SBHI,
the Company remits taxes to SBHI.
6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company participates in a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
with Travelers which covers substantially all U.S. employees.
The Company, through Travelers, has a defined contribution employee savings
plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. In addition, the Company has
various incentive plans under which stock of Travelers is purchased for
subsequent distribution to employees, subject to vesting requirements.
