Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997
(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 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 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, 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.

========= ========= ========= =========
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 $2,857,674 and the average fair value during the
six months then ended, based on monthly calculation, was $1,049,947.
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
6
<PAGE>
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.
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
7
<PAGE>
commitment to purchase and sell these instruments was $1,256,671,774 and
$500,912,533, respectively, as detailed below.
All of these instruments mature within one year of June 30, 1997. 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 $2,857,674 as detailed below.

Item 2. 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, net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on open futures and forward 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. While substantial losses could lead to a decrease in
liquidity, no such losses occurred in the second quarter of 1997.
The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions of the
partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity futures
trading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of
profits, if any.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Partnership capital increased
23.9% from $68,451,469 to $84,806,801. This increase was primarily attributable
to the addition of 17,190.0810 Units resulting in an inflow of $26,776,900. This
inflow was decreased by net loss from operations of $8,010,176 and was also
offset by the redemption of 1,616.9068 Units which resulted in an outflow of
$2,411,392 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Future additions and
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 8.7% from $1,546.08 to $1,411.52 as compared to the second
quarter of 1996 in which the net asset value per Unit increased by 2.1%. The
Partnership experienced a net trading loss before commissions and expenses in
the second quarter of 1997 of $6,623,840. Losses were recognized in the trading
of commodity futures in currencies and interest rate products which were
partially offset by gains recognized in the trading of metals and indices. The
Partnership experienced a net trading gain before commission and expenses in the
second quarter of 1996 of $1,906,807. Gains were recognized in the trading of
commodity futures in currencies and metals which were partially offset by losses
recognized in the trading of 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
9
<PAGE>
price trends and the ability of the Advisor to identify correctly those price
trends. 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.
Interest income on 80% of the Partnership's average daily equity was
earned at the monthly average 30 day Treasury bill rate. Interest income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by $432,768 and $787,653,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. The increase in
interest income is primarily the result of the effect of net additions on the
Partnership's equity maintained in cash during 1996 and through the second
quarter of 1997.
Brokerage commissions are calculated on the adjusted net asset value on
the last day of each month and, therefore, vary according to trading
performance, additions 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 increased by
$597,829 and $1,131,661, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1996.
All trading decisions for the Partnership are currently being made by the
Advisor. 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,
additions and redemptions. Management fees for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 increased by $387,116 and $740,568, respectively, as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1996.
Administrative fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the
business and affairs of the Partnership. These 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, additions and redemptions. Administrative
fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by $96,780 and
$184,898, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by the
Advisor as defined in the advisory agreement between the Partnership, the
General Partner and the Advisor. There were no incentive fees earned for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
