      The date of this Prospectus and Disclosure Document is May 30, 1997
    
<PAGE>   2
 
   
     The Partnership is soliciting subscriptions for 120,000 units of limited
partnership interest ("Units") with a minimum initial subscription per investor
of $5,000 (except that the minimum initial investment is $2,000 for employee
benefit plans, subject to higher minimums in certain states). Units will be
offered at $1,000 per Unit for a period of 90 days from the date hereof unless
earlier terminated by the General Partner or extended for up to an additional 60
days, in the General Partner's sole discretion and for any reason (the "Initial
Offering Period"). If a minimum of 20,000 Units ($20,000,000) is sold during the
Initial Offering Period, the Partnership will commence trading operations. After
the Initial Offering Period, the Partnership will continue to offer Units until
the earlier of two years from the date hereof and the date on which all of the
Units are sold (the "Continuous Offering"). During the Continuous Offering,
Units and fractional Units (rounded to four decimal places) will be sold at
their Net Asset Value per Unit as of the last business day of the month ending
at least 5 days after a subscription is accepted. Net Asset Value is defined in
the Glossary at page 98. A subscription may be revoked by a subscriber if the
General Partner determines not to offer Units as of the end of a month. See
"Plan of Distribution" and "Subscription Procedure". The Units are being offered
through SB on a best efforts basis without any firm underwriting commitment (so
that neither SB nor any other underwriter has agreed to purchase any Units). The
Partnership will dissolve no later than December 31, 2017. See "Summary of the
Prospectus -- The Partnership -- Dissolution of the Partnership".
    
- ---------------
 
NOTES:
 
     (1) The Units are being offered on a best efforts basis through SB and such
other members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or foreign
brokers as may participate in the offering. No underwriting commissions will be
paid in connection with this offering. SB may pay underwriting commissions of up
to $50 per Unit sold out of its own funds. SB will pay a portion of the
brokerage fees it receives to its registered representatives ("Financial
Consultants") who sell Units in the offering and who are registered with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") as associated persons of a futures
commission merchant for continuing services to be provided by such persons to
purchasers of Units. Those services will include (i) answering questions
regarding daily net asset value and computations thereof, monthly statements,
annual reports and tax information provided by the Partnership, (ii) providing
assistance to investors including when and whether to redeem the Units or
purchase additional Units and (iii) general servicing of accounts. A Financial
Consultant may be credited with up to approximately 80% of the amount of
brokerage fees attributable to Units sold by him. The brokerage fees will be
paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are
charged may change. See "Plan of Distribution" and "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". No portion of SB's brokerage fees will be paid
to any Financial Consultant who is not registered with the CFTC as an associated
person of a futures commission merchant.
 
     (2) These figures represent the sale of 20,000 or 120,000 Units at $1,000
per Unit during the Initial Offering Period. Subscription amounts will be held
in escrow at European American Bank, New York, New York, until the termination
of the Initial Offering Period or until earlier rejection of the subscription by
the General Partner. The funds held in escrow will be invested as the General
Partner shall from time to time direct by written instrument delivered to the
escrow agent in an interest bearing bank money market account. Interest earned
on such subscriptions held in escrow will be paid to the subscriber. See "Plan
of Distribution".
 
     (3) The initial offering and organizational expenses of the Partnership are
estimated at $710,000, which amount will be paid initially by SB. This amount
will be recouped from interest earned on the Partnership's assets. The Limited
Partnership Agreement requires the Partnership to bear all of its offering
expenses of the Continuous Offering. See "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership"
and "Redemptions".
 
     (4) The minimum additional subscription during the Continuous Offering for
investors who are already limited partners will be $1,000 (except in Maine,
where the minimum additional subscription will be $5,000). In the case of sales
to employee-benefit plans including qualified corporate pension and
profit-sharing plans, "simplified employee pension plans," so-called, "Keogh"
(H.R. 10) plans and Individual Retirement Accounts, and subject to higher
minimum investment standards imposed by certain states as listed in Exhibit C
hereto, the minimum purchase is $2,000. See "ERISA Considerations."

                           SUMMARY OF THE PROSPECTUS
 
     The following is a summary of the Prospectus. The Prospectus contains more
detailed information under the captions referred to below, and this summary is
qualified in its entirety by the information appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. See also the Glossary.
 
                                  THE OFFERING
 
   
Securities Offered......120,000 Units at $1,000 prior to the commencement of
                        trading and at Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of
                        each month during the Continuous Offering. Net Asset
                        Value is defined in the Glossary at page 98.
    
 
Minimum Subscription....The minimum subscription is $5,000, except for
                        subscriptions by employee-benefit plans (and subject to
                        higher minimums imposed by certain states) which may be
                        made for a minimum of $2,000. The minimum investment for
                        subscribers who are already limited partners will be
                        $1,000 (except in Maine, where the minimum additional
                        subscription will be $5,000). The minimum proceeds
                        necessary to commence trading are $20,000,000 or 20,000
                        Units. During the Continuous Offering, the minimum
                        subscription will purchase Units and fractional Units
                        (rounded to four decimal places) as of the first day of
                        the month which is at least 6 days after a subscription
                        is accepted. See "Plan of Distribution". The General
                        Partner and its affiliates are free to purchase Units
                        for investment purposes, including in order to reach the
                        minimum number of Units to commence trading, provided
                        that in no event will total contributions by these
                        entities equal or exceed 10% of the total contributions
                        to the Partnership at any time.
 
Plan of Distribution....The Units will be offered through SB and possibly other
                        selling agents on a best efforts basis (so that neither
                        SB nor any other underwriter has agreed to purchase any
                        Units). Units will be offered for a period of 90 days
                        from the date hereof, subject to earlier termination by
                        the General Partner or to extension by the General
                        Partner for up to an additional 60 days (the "Initial
                        Offering Period"). Assuming the sale of a minimum of
                        20,000 Units during the Initial Offering Period, Units
                        will continue to be offered thereafter until the earlier
                        of the sale of all 120,000 Units or two years from the
                        commencement of the Initial Offering Period (the
                        "Continuous Offering"). The General Partner may
                        determine to increase the number of Units offered, or
                        not to offer Units in a particular month. All
                        subscriptions accepted by the General Partner will be
                        promptly transmitted to the escrow agent. All
                        subscriptions will be held in escrow at European
                        American Bank until the first to occur of the end of the
                        Initial Offering Period or the first day of the month
                        beginning at least 6 days after receipt of the
                        subscription, on which day subscription funds will be
                        transferred to the Partnership's trading accounts at SB.
                        Interest earned on such subscriptions held in escrow
                        will be paid to the subscriber. In the event that the
                        minimum subscriptions are received, interest will be
                        earned on subscriptions until the money is transferred
                        from escrow to the Partnership's trading accounts. If
                        subscriptions for at least 20,000 Units have not been
                        received and accepted prior to the termination of the
                        Initial Offering Period, all subscriptions will be
                        promptly returned to investors together with a
                        proportionate share of the interest earned on escrowed
                        funds. The General Partner may reject any subscription
                        for any reason. A subscription may be revoked by a
                        subscriber for five business days following the
                        investor's subscription during the Initial Offering
                        Period for any reason, and may be revoked during the
                        Continuous

                        Offering only if the General Partner determines not to
                        offer Units as of the end of a month. See "Plan of
                        Distribution" and "Subscription Procedure."
 
Use of Proceeds.........The proceeds of the offering will be deposited in the
                        Partnership's trading accounts at SB and will be used to
                        trade in commodity interests including futures
                        contracts, options and forward contracts. Such proceeds
                        will be maintained in cash. A subscription will be
                        either accepted or rejected within four business days
                        from the receipt of the subscription by the General
                        Partner. See "Use of Proceeds".
 
Purchase of Units
  by Retirement Plans...Participants in employee-benefit plans may be capable of
                        purchasing Units with a portion of their retirement
                        assets. See "ERISA Considerations".
 
                                THE PARTNERSHIP
 
The Partnership.........Smith Barney Westport Futures Fund L.P. is a limited
                        partnership organized on March 21, 1997 under the laws
                        of the State of New York. See "The Limited Partnership
                        Agreement".
 
Risk Factors............An investment in the Partnership is speculative and
                        involves substantial risks. The risks of an investment
                        in the Partnership include, but are not limited to:
 
                        -- the speculative, volatile and highly leveraged nature
                           of trading in commodity futures, forward and option
                           contracts;
 
                        -- the fees and expenses which the Partnership incurs
                           regardless of the Partnership's trading performance,
                           including a brokerage charge of 6.5% per year and a
                           management fee of 4%; substantial incentive fees may
                           be paid during a year even though the Partnership
                           incurs a net loss for the full year;
 
                        -- that the Partnership is subject to certain conflicts
                           of interest (including those arising from the
                           relationship between the General Partner and the
                           commodity broker/dealer);
 
                        -- no public market for Units exists;
 
                        -- investors have limited voting rights with respect to
                           the Partnership's affairs;
 
                        -- profits earned in any year will result in an increase
                           in a limited partner's tax liability.
 
Dissolution of the
  Partnership...........The Partnership will dissolve and its affairs be wound
                        up as soon as practicable upon the first to occur of the
                        following: (i) December 31, 2017; (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 or
                        withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that
                        causes the General Partner to cease to be a general
                        partner under the New York Revised Limited Partnership
                        Act unless the Partnership is continued as described in
                        the Limited Partnership Agreement; (iv) Net Asset Value
                        per Unit falls to less than $400 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. See "Risk
                        Factors -- Dissolution of the Partnership, Cessation of
                        Trading" and "The Limited Partnership Agreement --
                        Management of Partnership Affairs".

Offices.................The offices of the Partnership and the General Partner
                        are located at c/o Smith Barney Futures Management Inc.,
                        390 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, (212)
                        723-5424.
 
Trading Policies........The Partnership's objective is to achieve capital
                        appreciation by engaging in speculative trading of a
                        diversified portfolio of commodity interests which may
                        include futures contracts, options, forward contracts
                        and physicals. There can be no assurance that the
                        Partnership's investment objective will be met. The
                        Partnership's trading policies, in summary, are to
                        invest Partnership funds only in commodity contracts
                        traded in sufficient volume to permit the ease of taking
                        and liquidating positions; that no additional positions
                        in a commodity will be initiated by the Advisor if such
                        positions would result in aggregate positions for all
                        commodities requiring as margin more than 66 2/3% of the
                        Partnership's assets allocated to that Advisor; that the
                        Partnership will not employ the trading technique
                        commonly known as "pyramiding"; that the Partnership
                        will not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings
                        if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash
                        commodities; that the Partnership may, from time to
                        time, engage in spreads or straddles; and that the
                        Partnership will not permit the churning of its trading
                        accounts. See "Commodity Markets" and "Trading
                        Policies". The terms "pyramiding", "spreads" and
                        "straddles" are defined in the Glossary.
 
Management..............The General Partner of the Partnership is Smith Barney
                        Futures Management Inc., a corporation organized under
                        the laws of the State of Delaware and an affiliate of
                        Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"). SB acts as commodity
                        broker/dealer for the Partnership. The General Partner
                        administers the business and affairs of the Partnership
                        and has selected the Advisor to make trading decisions
                        for the Partnership. The Advisor will be initially
                        allocated 100% of the Partnership's assets to manage.
                        The General Partner, consistent with its fiduciary
                        duties to the limited partners, may select additional or
                        replacement advisors at any time in its sole discretion.
                        However, the General Partner has no current intention of
                        selecting additional advisors or replacing JWH. All of
                        the Partnership's assets in its trading accounts at SB
                        will be available for trading, subject to the trading
                        policies of the Partnership.
 
                        JWH will utilize its Original Investment Program, its
                        Financial and Metals Portfolio, its Global Financial
                        Portfolio and its Global Diversified Portfolio in its
                        management of the Partnership's assets. The
                        Partnership's assets will be initially allocated to the
                        programs in the following percentages: 35% to the
                        Original Investment Program; 25% each to the Financial
                        and Metals Portfolio and the Global Financial Portfolio;
                        and 15% to the Global Diversified Portfolio. The
                        Original Investment Program utilizes a very long-term,
                        quantitative approach which always maintains a position,
                        either long or short, in every market traded by the
                        program. The Financial and Metals Portfolio uses
                        quantitative trend analysis models, participates in four
                        major market sectors -- global interest rates,
                        currencies, stock indices and metals -- and attempts to
                        identify and capitalize on intermediate and long term
                        price movements in these markets using a systematic
                        approach. The Global Financial Portfolio offers access
                        to a small group of energy and financial markets,
                        including currencies, global interest rates and stock
                        indices. This program is designed to identify and
                        capitalize on long-term price movements using a
                        disciplined trend identification approach and always
                        maintains a position -- long or short -- in every market
                        traded by the program. The Global Diversified Portfolio
                        utilizes a systematic approach which attempts to
                        identify and profit from market

                        trends and to remain neutral (i.e., no position taken)
                        during non-trending market periods.
 
                        The limited partners do 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
                        Partner. The General Partner is a fiduciary to the
                        limited partners. As such, the General Partner must
                        exercise good faith and fairness in all dealings
                        affecting the Partnership. In the event that a limited
                        partner believes the General Partner has violated its
                        fiduciary responsibility to the limited partners, he may
                        seek legal relief for himself or on behalf of the
                        Partnership, if the General Partner has refused to bring
                        the action, or if an effort to cause the General Partner
                        to bring the action is not likely to succeed, or may
                        have a right to bring a class action on behalf of all of
                        the limited partners, under applicable laws, including
                        partnership, commodities or securities laws, to recover
                        damages from or require an accounting by the General
                        Partner. Limited partners may also be afforded certain
                        rights for reparations under the Commodity Exchange Act
                        ("CEA") for violations of the CEA by the 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. See "The Limited
                        Partnership Agreement" and "Fiduciary Responsibility".
                        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
                        limited partner. Upon receipt of a written request
                        delivered in person or by certified mail, 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 15 days after such
                        receipt, must call a meeting of the Partnership. Such
                        meeting must be held at least 30 but not more than 60
                        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.
 
                        See "Risk Factors" and "Fees and Expenses to the
                        Partnership".
 
Fiscal Year.............The fiscal year of the Partnership will commence on
                        January 1 and end on December 31 each year ("fiscal
                        year").
Fees and Expenses
  to the Partnership....The Partnership will pay substantial fees to the Advisor
                        and SB. The Partnership will pay the Advisor a monthly
                        management fee equal to 1/3 of 1% (4% per year) of
                        month-end Net Assets. The Partnership will also pay the
                        Advisor an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 15%
                        of the New Trading Profits earned by the Advisor for the
                        Partnership, including unrealized appreciation on open
                        positions, as of the end of each period. New Trading
                        Profits does not include interest earned or accrued
                        during the period. Since the Advisor's incentive fee is
                        paid quarterly, substantial incentive fees may be paid
                        during a year even though the Partnership may incur a
                        net loss for the full year. Management and incentive
                        fees are subject to an overall limitation in the Limited
                        Partnership Agreement and the Revised Commodity Pool
                        Guidelines of the North American Securities
                        Administrators Association, Inc. (the "NASAA
                        Guidelines"), as described under "Fees and Expenses to
                        the Partnership -- Caps on Fees".
 
                        The Customer Agreement provides that the Partnership
                        will pay SB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 13/24 of 1%
                        of month-end Net Assets (6.5% per year) in lieu of
                        brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. (The
                        brokerage fee --

                        Expenses to the Partnership -- The Commodity
                        Broker/Dealer". SB will pay a portion of such brokerage
                        fees to its Financial Consultants who have sold Units in
                        this offering and who are registered as associated
                        persons with the CFTC. Such Financial Consultants would
                        be credited with a maximum of 5% of Net Assets per year
                        in return for continuing services to be provided by them
                        to Unit holders as described under "The Commodity
                        Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". Brokerage fees will be
                        paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate
                        at which such fees are paid may be changed. Based on an
                        estimate of the number of transactions generated by the
                        Advisor in customer accounts in 1996, the fee that the
                        Partnership pays is estimated to equal $88.44 per
                        round-turn transaction (as defined in the Glossary), of
                        which $79.84 is brokerage commissions and $8.60 is other
                        trading-related fees. The General Partner will review,
                        at least annually, the brokerage rates charged to other
                        comparable commodity pools to the extent practicable, to
                        determine that the brokerage rates being paid by the
                        Partnership are competitive with such other rates. The
                        General Partner will renegotiate the Customer Agreement
                        if its fiduciary duties so require. Brokerage fees will
                        not exceed the limit imposed in the NASAA Guidelines.
                        The General Partner, consistent with the restrictions
                        imposed by the Limited Partnership Agreement attached
                        hereto as Exhibit A, as well as the NASAA Guidelines
                        discussed below, may negotiate for increased brokerage
                        fees in appropriate circumstances. The Partnership shall
                        seek the best prices and services available in its
                        commodity futures brokerage transactions. The NASAA
                        Guidelines provide that a brokerage commission is
                        presumptively reasonable if it is 80% of the published
                        retail rate plus pit brokerage fees or if it (including
                        pit brokerage fees) is 14% annually of the average Net
                        Assets of the Partnership (excluding Partnership assets
                        not directly related to trading activity). See "The
                        Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". The
                        brokerage fee payable to SB for a year would equal a
                        maximum of $7,800,000 per year assuming that the
                        Partnership sold the maximum amount of Units offered
                        hereby at $1,000 per Unit and Net Assets remained at the
                        same level for the year. On these assumptions, Financial
                        Consultants could be credited with a maximum of
                        approximately $6,000,000.
 
                        The Partnership will pay or reimburse SB if previously
                        paid for NFA, exchange, clearing, user, give-up and
                        floor brokerage fees, all of which are estimated to be
                        up to .7% of Net Assets per year. The Partnership will
                        effect all transactions in spot and forward foreign
                        currencies with SB at prices quoted by SB which do not
                        include a mark-up.
 
                        The General Partner will bear such general and
                        administrative expenses of the Partnership as may be
                        incurred, but (except as noted below) the Partnership
                        will pay all of its legal, accounting, filing, reporting
                        and data processing expenses, incentive fees, management
                        fees, brokerage fees, expenses of the Continuous
                        Offering and extraordinary expenses (only periodic
                        filing and reporting fees are subject to an overall
                        limitation in the Limited Partnership Agreement as

                        basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets per month (6% per year).
                        For the purpose of this limitation, customary and
                        routine administrative expenses shall include all
                        expenses of the Partnership other than commodity
                        brokerage fees, incentive fees, the actual cost of legal
                        and audit services and extraordinary expenses.
 
   
                        Offering and organizational expenses related to the
                        Initial Offering Period will be initially borne by SB.
                        SB will recoup the offering and organizational expenses
                        related to the Initial Offering Period (estimated at
                        $710,000) (together with interest at the prime rate
                        quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank) from interest earned
                        on the Partnership's cash in segregated bank accounts.
                        The accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and
                        organizational expenses of the Initial Offering Period
                        will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit for any purpose
                        (other than financial reporting), including calculation
                        of management and brokerage fees and the purchase and
                        redemption value of Units. The offering expenses that
                        may be paid or reimbursed to SB by the Partnership are
                        capped at 15% of the Partners' aggregate subscriptions.
                        SB will pay monthly interest to the Partnership on 80%
                        of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the
                        Partnership's account. Such segregated bank accounts do
                        not ordinarily earn interest. Interest used to reimburse
                        SB will not be taken into account in computing brokerage
                        or management fees. See "Fees and Expenses to the
                        Partnership", "Plan of Distribution" and "Redemptions".

                         commodity pools which are comparable to the
                         Partnership, (ii) will not be increased for the first
                         five years of trading if any Advisor is affiliated with
                         the General Partner and (iii) will not exceed the
                         limitations imposed by the NASAA Guidelines, which
                         provide that brokerage fees (together with NFA,
                         exchange, floor brokerage, give-up, user and clearing
                         fees) will be considered presumptively reasonable if
                         they do not exceed 14% annually of the Partnership's
                         Net Assets (excluding Partnership assets not directly
                         related to trading activity). SB may receive a benefit
                         with respect to Partnership assets maintained in cash
                         as described below under the heading "Fees and Expenses
                         to the Partnership -- Commodity Broker/Dealer."
 
Interest Income.........All of the Partnership's assets will be deposited in
                        cash in brokerage accounts at SB. SB will deposit the
                        Partnership's cash in segregated bank accounts as
                        required by CFTC regulations. Such accounts do not earn
                        interest. However, SB will pay monthly interest to the
                        Partnership on 80% of the average daily equity
                        maintained in cash in the Partnership's account at SB
                        during each month at a 30-day Treasury bill rate
                        determined weekly by SB based on the average
                        non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
                        maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest
                        thereto) from the date on which such weekly rate is
                        determined. Interest payments to the Partnership will be
                        used to reimburse SB for the offering and organizational
                        expenses of the Initial Offering Period (estimated at
                        $710,000), plus interest at the prime rate quoted by The
                        Chase Manhattan Bank. Interest used to reimburse SB will
                        not be taken into account in calculating brokerage or
                        management fees. All assets in the Partnership's
                        accounts may be used to meet margin requirements. SB
                        intends to require the Partnership to meet its standard
                        customer margin requirements which may be greater than
                        exchange minimum levels. SB may benefit from the use of
                        the Partnership's cash to the extent that such use
                        reduces SB's interest expense in an amount greater than
                        the amount of interest payments received by the
                        Partnership. See "Commodity Markets -- Margins" and "The
                        Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement".
 
Break-even Analysis.....The General Partner estimates that during each fiscal
                        year, the Partnership would be required to make trading
                        profits equal to 12.16% assuming 20,000 Units are sold
                        and 8.6% assuming 120,000 Units are sold ($121.60 and
                        $85.96, respectively, based upon a $1,000 investment) of
                        the Net Asset Value per Unit in order for the value of a
                        Unit at year end to equal the initial value of that Unit
                        at the beginning of the year. See "Fees and Expenses to
                        the Partnership".
 
Redemptions.............Beginning at the end of six full months after trading
                        commences, on 10 days' notice to the General Partner, a
                        limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem
                        his Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of
                        a month. Because Net Asset Value fluctuates daily,
                        Limited Partners will not know the redemption value of
                        their Units at the time their notice of redemption is
                        submitted. The General Partner reserves the right to
                        permit the redemption of Units more frequently than
                        monthly (but no more frequently than daily), provided
                        that such action is in the best interest of the
                        Partnership taking into account potential tax
                        consequences to Limited Partners. See "Redemptions". No
                        fee is charged for redemptions. The Partnership's assets
                        are generally valued at fair market value, or in the
                        absence of a fair market value, as determined in good
                        faith by the General Partner. Options are generally
                        valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a
                        last sale price, the last bid price.

                        The value of a futures contract equals the unrealized
                        gain or loss on the contract that is determined by
                        marking it to the current settlement price for a like
                        contract acquired on the day on which the futures
                        contract is being valued. A settlement price may not be
                        used if the market makes a limit move with respect to a
                        particular commodity. Forward contracts and futures
                        contracts, when no market quote is available, will be
                        valued at their fair market value as determined by the
                        General Partner. The accrued liability for reimbursement
                        of offering and organizational expenses incurred during
                        the Initial Offering Period will not reduce Net Asset
                        Value per Unit for any purpose (other than financial
                        reporting), including calculation of advisory and
                        brokerage fees and the purchase and redemption value of
                        Units. Interest earned by the Partnership will be used
                        to reimburse SB for the offering and organizational
                        expenses of the Partnership in connection with the
                        Initial Offering Period (estimated at $710,000). The
                        Partnership will pay the expenses of the Continuous
                        Offering.
 
Distributions...........Distributions of profits, if any, will be made in the
                        sole discretion of the General Partner and at such times
                        as the General Partner may decide. In view of the fact
                        that a limited partner may redeem his Units and no
                        charge is assessed upon redemption, the General Partner
                        has no current intention of making any distributions. In
                        any event, the General Partner does not intend to make
                        any distribution which would reduce the Net Asset Value
                        of a Unit below $1,000, or if the size of a distribution
                        would not warrant the administrative expense which would
                        be involved, or if, in the opinion of the General
                        Partner, a distribution would otherwise not be in the
                        best interests of the Partnership or the limited
                        partners. The determination of what is in the best
                        interests of the Partnership or limited partners will be
                        made on a case by case basis by the General Partner in
                        its sole discretion and consistent with its fiduciary
                        obligations to the Partnership and the limited partners.
                        To the extent that profits are retained by the
                        Partnership, the Net Assets of the Partnership will be
                        greater, thereby increasing the amount of the brokerage
                        fee which will be earned by SB. See "Conflicts of
                        Interest". A limited partner's tax liability for profits
                        of the Partnership may exceed the amount of any
                        distributions received from the Partnership. See "Risk
                        Factors -- Tax Consequences" and "Income Tax Aspects".
 
Income Tax Aspects......The trading activities of the Partnership, in general,
                        generate capital gain and loss and ordinary income.
                        Counsel to the Partnership has opined that the
                        Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal
                        income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Partnership will
                        pay no federal income tax; rather, limited partners will
                        be 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 Internal Revenue Code of
                        1986, as amended (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 treatment under Code Section
                        988.
 
                        The Partnership should not generate to Exempt
                        Organizations (as defined herein) unrelated business
                        taxable income that would result from an investment in a
                        publicly-traded partnership. See "Income Tax
                        Aspects -- Tax Consequences for Exempt Organizations".

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS IS SPECULATIVE AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT INVEST IN
UNITS UNLESS THEY CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE
PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE SUBSCRIBING FOR UNITS.
 
COMMODITY TRADING RISKS
 
     COMMODITY TRADING IS SPECULATIVE.  Commodity futures markets are highly
volatile. Profitability of the Partnership's commodity trading will depend on
the ability of the Advisor to analyze the commodity markets, which are
influenced by, among other things, 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. See "Commodity Futures Markets". The Advisor's technical trading methods
do not generally take into account such fundamental factors except to the extent
such factors are reflected in the technical input data analyzed by the Advisor.
The Advisor may trade futures contracts on stock indices. Such contracts have
experienced substantial volatility. While a volatile market can produce trends
which might be identified by the trend-following strategies employed by the
Advisor, such markets can also be without sustained price trends. Participation
in a volatile market without significant trends could produce substantial losses
for the Partnership.
 
     COMMODITY TRADING IS HIGHLY LEVERAGED.  Because of the low margin deposits
normally required in commodity futures trading, a high degree of leverage is
typical of a commodity trading account. AS A RESULT, A RELATIVELY SMALL PRICE
MOVEMENT IN A COMMODITY CONTRACT MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO THE
INVESTOR. For example, if at the time of purchase 10% of the price of the
futures contract is deposited as margin, a 10% decrease in the price of the
futures contract would, if the contract is then closed out, result in a total
loss of the margin deposit before any deduction for the brokerage fee. Thus,
like other leveraged investments, any purchase or sale of a commodity contract
may result in losses to the Partnership in excess of the amount initially
deposited by the Partnership as margin with respect to that contract. SB does
not intend to require the Partnership to deposit and maintain margin with
respect to its forward currency trading. The General Partner will, however,
impose trading limits on forward trading. See "Commodity Markets -- Margins".
 
     COMMODITY TRADING MAY BE ILLIQUID.  Most commodity exchanges limit
fluctuations in commodity contract prices during a single day by regulations
referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits". During a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
Once the price of a contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
be neither taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have moved the daily limit for
several consecutive days with little or no trading in the past. Similar
occurrences could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating unfavorable
positions and thus subject the Partnership to substantial losses. See "Commodity
Markets -- Regulations".
 
     RISKS OF PURCHASING AND WRITING OPTIONS.  The Partnership may engage in the
trading of commodity options on exchanges. Such trading involves risks
substantially similar to those involved in trading commodity futures contracts
in that options are speculative and highly leveraged. Specific market movements
of the commodities or futures contracts underlying an option cannot accurately
be predicted. The purchaser of an option is subject to the risk of losing the
entire purchase price of the option. The writer of an option is subject to the
risk of loss resulting from the difference between the premium received for the
option and the price of the commodity or futures contract underlying the option
which the writer must purchase or deliver upon exercise of the option. The
Advisor currently does not trade options, but may do so in the future. The
Partnership may trade in over-the-counter currency options to the extent
permitted by CFTC regulation.
 
     RISKS INHERENT IN TRADING STRATEGIES.  Trading decisions of the Advisor
will be based on technical analysis. The buy and sell decisions based on
technical and trend-following strategies are not based on analysis of
fundamental supply and demand factors, general economic factors or anticipated
world events. The profitability of such trading programs depends upon occurrence
in the future of major price moves or trends in commodities. In the past there
have been periods without trends and such periods may recur. The past
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   17
 
   
performance of such trading programs is not necessarily indicative of their
future profitability, and no trading program can consistently determine which
commodity futures contracts to enter into or when to enter into them. The best
commodity trading program will not be profitable if there are no trends of the
kind it seeks to identify and follow. Any factor which may lessen the prospect
of major trends in the future (such as increased government control of, or
participation in, the markets) may reduce the Advisor's ability to trade
profitably in the future. Any factor which would make it more difficult to
execute timely trades, such as a significant lessening of liquidity in a
particular market, would also be detrimental to profitability. AS A RESULT OF
THESE FACTORS AND THE GENERAL VOLATILITY OF THE COMMODITIES MARKETS, INVESTORS
SHOULD VIEW THEIR INVESTMENT AS LONG TERM (AT LEAST 2 YEARS) IN ORDER TO PERMIT
THE STRATEGIES OF THE ADVISOR TO FUNCTION OVER TIME. ALTHOUGH THE ADVISOR'S
STRATEGIES MAY BE VIEWED AS LONG-TERM, SUCH STRATEGIES MAY ENTAIL THE FREQUENT
OPENING AND CLOSING OF PARTICULAR TRADING POSITIONS. Further, commodity trading
advisors may alter their strategies from time to time in an attempt better to
evaluate market movements. As a result of such periodic modifications, it is
possible that the trading strategies used by the Advisor in the future may be
different from those presently in use. Further, the total amount of funds being
managed by the Advisor may be substantially increased by the addition of the
Partnership's account. Moreover, somewhat different trading strategies may be
required for accounts of differing sizes or trading objectives. See the
discussion of programs to be traded for the Partnership under "The Advisor".
Limited partners will be notified by the Partnership of material changes in the
Advisor's trading strategies.
    
 
     POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF SPECULATIVE POSITION LIMITS.  The CFTC and U.S.
exchanges have established limits referred to as "speculative position limits"
on the maximum net long or net short position which any person may hold or
control in particular futures and options on futures, and most exchanges have
established limits referred to as "trading limits" on the amount of fluctuation
in commodity futures contract prices on a single trading day. Currently, trading
limits do not generally apply to currency futures contracts. See "Commodity
Markets -- Regulation". All commodity futures and options accounts owned or
controlled directly or indirectly by the Advisor or its principals, including
the Partnership's account, are combined for speculative position limit purposes.
The Advisor believes that established speculative position and trading limits
will not adversely affect its trading for the Partnership. However, it is
possible that the trading instructions of the Advisor for the Partnership may
have to be modified and that positions held by the Partnership may have to be
liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits. Such modification or
liquidation, if required, could adversely affect the operations and
profitability of the Partnership. Furthermore, in the unlikely event that
positions in other pools operated by the General Partner but not advised by the
Advisor or other accounts managed by SB or its employees are required to be
aggregated with the Partnership's positions, it is more likely that the trading
instructions of the Advisor for the Partnership would have to be modified and
that positions held by the Partnership would have to be liquidated in order to
avoid exceeding such limits. Neither CFTC nor exchange position nor trading
limits apply to forward contracts in foreign currencies.
 
   
     POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF COMPETITION.  The Partnership may experience increased
competition for the best prices on the same commodity contracts, not only
because of the utilization by other persons of trend following trading
strategies, but also because at February 28, 1997, commodity accounts
aggregating approximately $2.1 billion were being managed by the Advisor.
Trading orders for such accounts similar to those of the Partnership are likely
to occur contemporaneously. The Advisor enters trading orders either through the
SB order desk or through a floor broker approved by the General Partner. Orders
placed with SB are transmitted through a floor broker selected by SB and the
order fill is then relayed to the Advisor. For orders entered through a floor
broker approved by the General Partner such orders are given with instructions
to the floor broker to give up the trade to SB for order clearance and the
Advisor provides SB with a list of such "give up" trades initiated by the floor
broker. There is no specific limit under any agreement between the Advisor and
the Partnership as to the number of accounts which may be managed or advised by
the Advisor, so that such competition could be further increased if the Advisor
chooses to manage additional accounts in the future. The performance of the
Partnership's investments in commodity interests could also be adversely
affected by the manner in which particular orders are entered by the Advisor for
all such accounts traded by the Advisor.
    
 
     TRADING IN FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCIES.  The Partnership will engage in the
trading of forward contracts in foreign currencies. In this connection, the
Partnership contracts with SB to make or take future delivery of a particular
foreign currency. Although the foreign currency market is not believed to be
necessarily more
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   18
 
volatile than the market in other commodities, there is less protection against
defaults in the forward trading of currencies than there is in trading such
currencies on an exchange since such forward contracts are not guaranteed by an
exchange or clearing house. Investors are not afforded the regulatory
protections of such exchanges or the CFTC; rather, banks and dealers act as
principals in such markets. Neither the CFTC nor banking authorities regulate
trading in forward foreign currencies. There are no limits on daily price
movements or on speculative positions in this market. Moreover, principals are
not required to continue to make markets in these contracts. The CFTC has
indicated that it may assert jurisdiction over forward contracts in foreign
currencies and attempt to prohibit certain entities from engaging in such
transactions. In the event that such prohibition included the Partnership, the
Partnership would cease trading such contracts. The Advisor may trade forward
contracts in foreign currencies extensively for the Partnership's account and
thus, such a cessation of forward trading could have a substantial adverse
effect on the performance of the Advisor for the Partnership. There are no
limits on the Advisor's ability to trade currency forwards other than the
trading policies of the Partnership. See "Trading Policies".
 
     TRADING ON FOREIGN EXCHANGES AND TRADING IN PHYSICAL COMMODITIES.  The
Partnership may trade in commodity contracts on exchanges located outside the
U.S. such as the London International Financial Futures Exchange and the Sydney
Futures Exchange. Trading on such exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC and
may, therefore, be subject to more risks than trading on domestic exchanges such
as the risks of exchange controls, expropriation, burdensome taxation, moratoria
and political or diplomatic events. See "Commodity Markets -- Regulation". In
addition, the rights and responsibilities of the Partnership in the event of an
exchange or clearing house default or bankruptcy are likely to differ from those
existing on U.S. exchanges. There are no limits on the Advisor's ability to
trade on CFTC-approved foreign markets in accordance with the Partnership's
trading policies. See "Trading Policies." The Partnership may engage in spot
commodity transactions (transactions in physical commodities), including
contracts on foreign currencies. Such spot transactions are not regulated by the
CFTC. Some of such transactions may be entered into in conjunction with exchange
for physical transactions. In any principal transactions entered by the
Partnership, the Partnership is subject to the risk of the inability of, or
refusal by, a counterparty to perform with respect to the underlying contract.
Such transactions may be entered into with SB or an affiliate at prices quoted
by SB which will not include a mark-up.
 
     RISKS OF PARTNERSHIP FUNDS HELD IN FOREIGN DEPOSITORIES.  The Partnership's
funds held in connection with contracts on U.S. contract markets that are priced
and settled in a foreign currency may be held in accounts denominated in a
foreign currency with a depository located outside the United States or its
territories. The Partnership currently does not intend to maintain any of its
assets with depositories located outside the United States or its territories.
There are no limits on the amount of funds that may be held in foreign
depositories or in funds that may be denominated in foreign currencies. See "Use
of Proceeds". Such accounts are subject to the risk that events could occur
which would hinder or prevent the availability of these funds for distribution
to customers including the Partnership. Such accounts may also be subject to
foreign currency exchange rate risks. The Partnership has agreed with SB, its
futures commission merchant, that in order to avoid the possible dilution of
other customer funds, any Partnership claims based on such funds will be
subordinated in the unlikely event that both of the following conditions are
met: (A) SB is placed in receivership or bankruptcy and (B) there are
insufficient funds available for distribution denominated in the foreign
currency as to which the Partnership has a claim to satisfy all claims against
those funds. The Partnership has agreed with SB that if both conditions (A) and
(B) occur, the Partnership's claim against SB's assets attributable to funds
held overseas in a particular foreign currency may be satisfied out of
segregated customer funds held in accounts denominated in dollars or other
foreign currencies only after each customer whose funds are held in dollars or
in such other foreign currencies receives its pro rata portion of such funds.
 
RISKS OF PARTNERSHIP STRUCTURE
 
     SUBSTANTIAL FEES AND EXPENSES TO THE PARTNERSHIP.  The Partnership is
obligated to pay brokerage fees, legal, accounting and reporting expenses and
filing fees regardless of whether the Partnership realizes profits. Incentive
fees payable by the Partnership are based upon New Trading Profits earned by the
Advisor for the Partnership at the end of each calendar quarter, including any
unrealized appreciation on open commodity
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   19
 
   
positions. Such appreciation may never be realized by the Partnership; however,
any such lost appreciation would have to be recovered before another incentive
fee would be payable. It should be noted that since the Advisor's incentive fee
is paid quarterly, substantial incentive fees may be paid during a year even
though the Partnership may incur a net loss for the full year. Therefore, it is
possible that the Partnership could incur substantial incentive fees in a year
in which it had no net trading profits or in which it actually lost money. A
$1,000 Unit would have to increase between 8.6% (assuming 120,000 Units offered
hereby are sold) or 12.16% (assuming 20,000 Units are sold) in the first year of
trading operations (that is, by between $85.96 and $121.60) for the redemption
value per Unit to equal $1,000. The Partnership is therefore required to make
trading profits and interest income equal to the aforementioned percentage in
order to avoid depletion or exhaustion of its assets from these expenses. See
"Fees and Expenses to the Partnership".
    
 
     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.  Conflicts of interest exist in the structure and
operation of the Partnership's business. These conflicts include (1) the
conflict between the duty of the General Partner to act in the best interests of
the Partnership and any advantage to SB, an affiliate of the General Partner,
resulting from the trading of the Partnership's account, and (2) the probable
competition for positions with the Partnership by SB, the Advisor, the General
Partner and other commodity pools and accounts organized or advised by such
persons, or their principals, affiliates or customers. The Limited Partnership
Agreement requires the General Partner to review brokerage rates at least
annually and to determine that such rates are competitive with those charged to
other similar commodity pools. In addition, the General Partner, as a fiduciary
to the limited partners, must resolve any conflict in favor of the limited
partners. See "Conflicts of Interest".
 
     NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR UNITS EXISTS.  Although a limited partner may transfer
his Units as of the first day of any fiscal quarter, no market exists for their
sale and none is likely to develop. In addition, a transferee of a Unit can only
become a substituted limited partner with the General Partner's consent. See
"The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment".
However, a limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem some or all of
his Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of any month beginning six
months after trading commences on 10 days' notice to the General Partner. Under
extraordinary circumstances, including market conditions that would prohibit the
liquidation of positions, the Partnership may delay redemptions beyond the end
of the applicable month. See "Redemptions".
 
     LIMITED PARTNERS WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN MANAGEMENT.  Purchasers of the
Units are not entitled to participate in the management or control of the
Partnership or the conduct of its business. Limited Partners have limited voting
rights with respect to the Partnership's affairs. See "The Limited Partnership
Agreement -- Management of Partnership Affairs".
 
     EXPIRATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE ADVISOR.  The Management
Agreement between the General Partner and the Advisor expires on June 30, 1998.
No assurance is given that the services of the Advisor will be available on the
terms contained in its Management Agreement after its expiration (provided,
however, that in any contract renewal or renegotiation the Advisor will carry
forward all losses attributable to it), or that a new advisor would agree to
such terms. See "The Advisor -- Management Agreement". In the event that a new
advisor is selected, New Trading Profits earned by the new advisor will not be
reduced by cumulative net realized trading losses, if any, incurred by the prior
advisor. Any fees paid to a new or replacement advisor will comply with NASAA
Guidelines. Subject to the caps of fees to which the Partnership is generally
subject, the fees payable by the Partnership to the Advisor could increase
following the termination of a management agreement, either according to the
terms of a new management agreement, or if a new advisor were selected by the
General Partner for the Partnership.
 
     DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; CESSATION OF TRADING.  The Partnership will
dissolve on December 31, 2017, unless earlier dissolved pursuant to the Limited
Partnership Agreement, regardless of its financial condition or market positions
on such date. Liquidation of positions at such date may result in losses to the
Partnership. The Partnership may cease trading and liquidate all open positions
prior to its dissolution. The General Partner will dissolve the Partnership if
Net Asset Value per Unit falls below $400 as of the end of a trading day. See
"The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Dissolution of the Partnership" and "The
Limited Partnership Agreement -- Management of Partnership Affairs".
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   20
 
     In the event of early cessation of trading, the Partnership would continue
to accrue legal, accounting, reporting and filing expenses.
 
     NO INDEPENDENT REVIEW.  The Partnership, the General Partner and SB are
affiliated entities and are represented by single counsel. Therefore, to the
extent the Partnership and this offering would benefit by independent review,
such benefit will not be available in this offering. There may also be an
absence of arm's-length negotiations with respect to some of the terms of this
offering, including with respect to the Customer Agreement and Selling Agreement
with SB. The General Partner believes that the terms received by the Partnership
with respect to such negotiation are no less favorable to the Partnership than
they would be as a result of arm's-length negotiations. The Advisor is
represented by its own counsel.
 
     OPERATING HISTORY OF PARTNERSHIP AND GENERAL PARTNER.  The CFTC requires
commodity pool operators to disclose to prospective pool participants the actual
performance record of their pools for at least the previous five years. You
should note that the Partnership has not yet begun to trade. However, the
General Partner currently operates nineteen other active commodity pools. The
performance records of these pools are set forth under the caption "The General
Partner -- Other Pools Operated by the General Partner". Investors should note
that the Advisor is not the sole advisor to each of such pools operated by the
General Partner, and that the trading strategies of the other advisors of those
pools may also vary from those employed by the Advisor and the Partnership.
INVESTORS SHOULD NOTE THAT THE PERFORMANCE RECORDS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER'S
OTHER COMMODITY POOLS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
 
     RELIANCE ON ADVISOR AND KEY PERSONNEL.  The Partnership will rely on the
Advisor to manage its portfolio. There can be no assurance that the trading
systems and strategies used by the Advisor will prove to be successful under all
or any market conditions. In addition, the Advisor relies on key personnel to
implement its trading strategies and is therefore subject to the risk that those
individuals may be unable to implement such trading strategies. The General
Partner may terminate the Advisor in certain circumstances and may replace the
Advisor with a new advisor or may make trading decisions for the Partnership
itself, but it is extremely unlikely that the General Partner or replacement
advisor would trade in the same way that the terminated Advisor traded for the
Partnership. See "The Advisor -- Management Agreement".
 
     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT.  The Limited Partnership Agreement
provides that a limited partner may assign his Units upon notice to the General
Partner. No assignment of Units will be effective against the Partnership or the
General Partner until the commencement of the next fiscal quarter after the
General Partner receives such notice. Without the consent of the General Partner
(which consent may be withheld at its sole and absolute discretion for the
purpose of preserving the Partnership's tax status or to avoid adverse legal
consequences to the Partnership), no assignee may become a substituted limited
partner. An assignee who becomes a substituted limited partner will be subject
to all of the rights and liabilities of a limited partner of the Partnership. An
assignee 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 assignor
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.
 
LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS
 
     TAX LIABILITY MAY EXCEED CASH DISTRIBUTIONS.  Cash will be distributed to
the partners in the sole discretion of the General Partner, and the General
Partner may determine not to make a distribution in any particular year of the
Partnership. The Partnership's taxable income for a fiscal year (including both
realized income and income resulting from marking to market positions in
regulated futures contracts) will be taxable to the partners in accordance with
their pro rata shares of Partnership profits for tax purposes whether or not any
cash has been distributed to the partners. As a result, cash distributions to a
limited partner in a given year may be less than the taxes payable by that
partner with respect to Partnership profits for that year. However, subject to
certain conditions and exceptions, each partner may redeem his Units (as of the
end of any month beginning six full months after trading commences) in order to
provide funds for the payment of taxes or for any other purpose. See
"Redemptions" and "Income Tax Aspects".
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   21
 
     POSSIBILITY OF TAXATION AS A CORPORATION.  The General Partner has been
advised by Willkie Farr & Gallagher, its attorneys, that under current federal
income tax laws and regulations and given the factual assumptions set forth
under "Income Tax Aspects", the Partnership will be classified as a partnership
and not as a corporation. Such opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue
Service. No ruling has been obtained from the Internal Revenue Service in this
regard and the Partnership does not intend to apply for any such ruling. The
facts and authorities relied upon by counsel in their opinion may change in the
future. See "Income Tax Aspects -- Classification as a Partnership". If the
Partnership were to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes,
income or loss of the Partnership would not be passed through to the partners,
and the Partnership would be subject to tax on its income at the rate of tax
applicable to corporations. In addition, all or a portion of distributions of
Partnership income would generally be taxable to the partners as corporate
dividends, and the partners' tax on such distributions would be in addition to
the corporate tax paid by the Partnership on the same income.
 
     TAXATION OF COMMODITY INTERESTS.  Commodity interests are subject to
special tax rules, which rules will apply to the taxation of Partnership income
and loss. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not
issue regulations that would adversely affect the expected treatment of
Partnership transactions or that such regulations would not be given retroactive
effect. Finally, Willkie Farr & Gallagher cannot opine on whether and to what
extent Partnership transactions would be taken into account by the Internal
Revenue Service in determining the tax consequences of transactions entered into
by a partner in his individual capacity. See "Income Tax Aspects".
 
     ABSENCE OF REGULATION APPLICABLE TO SECURITIES MUTUAL FUNDS AND THEIR
ADVISORS.  Since the purpose of the Partnership is to trade commodities, the
Partnership has not registered as a securities investment company, or "mutual
fund", subject to extensive regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission
imposed upon such entities under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"). Therefore, investors may not be accorded the protective
measures provided by such legislation. In addition, the Advisor is not
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended or any similar state law. However, the General Partner is a
CFTC-registered commodity pool operator and the Advisor is a CFTC-registered
commodity trading advisor. See "Commodity Markets -- Regulation". Any
determination that the Partnership be required to register as an investment
company under the 1940 Act could have serious adverse consequences for the
Partnership, the General Partner, the Advisor and the limited partners. In the
event of such determination (or for any other reason), the General Partner may,
in its discretion, withdraw from the Partnership, causing its dissolution.
 
     REGULATION OF COMMODITY POOL OPERATORS AND COMMODITY TRADING ADVISORS.  The
General Partner is a registered commodity pool operator and the Advisor is a
registered commodity trading advisor, as required by Federal law. Any
determination by the CFTC to terminate, suspend, revoke or not renew the
registration of the General Partner would cause the General Partner to withdraw
as general partner of the Partnership; the limited partners would then determine
to select a replacement general partner (as provided in the Limited Partnership
Agreement) or to dissolve the Partnership. Any determination by the CFTC to
terminate, suspend, revoke or not renew the registrations of the Advisor would
cause the General Partner to terminate the Management Agreement with the
Advisor, as permitted in the Management Agreement. The General Partner could
reallocate the Partnership's assets managed by the Advisor to the other
advisors, or appoint a new advisor (including itself).
 
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION RISKS
 
     PARTICIPATION OF PROMOTERS.  SB and the General Partner have been
instrumental in the organization of the Partnership and may be deemed
"promoters" of the Partnership within the meaning of Rule 405 under the
Securities Act of 1933. No selling agent which is not affiliated with the
General Partner and SB has made an investigation of the offering or has
participated in the negotiation of its terms or the structuring of the
Partnership.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   22
 
     NO ASSURANCE THAT UNITS WILL BE SOLD.  The offering of Units is being made
on behalf of the Partnership through SB on a best efforts basis without any
commitment by an underwriter to purchase any of the Units. Therefore, no
assurance is given that all of the Units will be sold. See "Plan of
Distribution".
 
     CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. INVESTORS.  Non-U.S. investors should note that
Units are denominated in U.S. dollars and that changes in rates of exchange
between currencies may cause the value of the investment to diminish or to
increase. Non-U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning
local tax implications of this investment.
 
     The foregoing list of Risk Factors does not purport to be a complete
explanation of the risks involved in this offering. Potential investors should
read the entire Prospectus before determining to invest in the Units.

(1) Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, but the rate at
    which such fees will be paid may change, provided that such fees (i) remain
    competitive with the brokerage rates paid by public commodity pools which
    are comparable to the Partnership, (ii) will not be increased for the first
    five years of trading if any Advisor is affiliated with the General Partner
    and (iii) together with NFA, exchange, floor brokerage, give-up, user and
    clearing fees, will not exceed the limitations imposed by the NASAA
    Guidelines. SB may receive a benefit with respect to Partnership assets
    maintained in cash as described below under the heading "Fees and Expenses
    to the Partnership -- Commodity Broker/Dealer."
 
     CAPS ON FEES.  Fees to which the Partnership is subject are in turn subject
to several limitations imposed by the Limited Partnership Agreement or the NASAA
Guidelines or both as follows. (A) The Limited Partnership Agreement contains an
overall limitation on expenses which provides that the aggregate annual fees and
expenses of every kind paid or incurred by the Partnership ("Aggregate
Expenses"), including management fees, advisory fees and all other fees except
for incentive fees and commodity brokerage fees, when added to the customary and
routine administrative expenses of the Partnership, shall in no event exceed, on
an annual basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets per month as required by the NASAA
Guidelines. For the purpose of this limitation, customary and routine
administrative expenses include all expenses of the Partnership other than
commodity brokerage fees, incentive fees, the actual cost of legal and
accounting services and extraordinary expenses. Periodic filing and reporting
fees are also subject to this overall limitation. There is no cap on the costs
of legal and accounting services or extraordinary expenses. (B) In addition, as
provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement and the NASAA Guidelines, the
aggregate incentive fee paid by the Partnership shall not exceed 15% of New
Trading Profits, except that an additional 2% incentive fee may be paid for each
1% by which the Partnership's Aggregate Expenses are reduced below 6% annually.
(C) Furthermore, the NASAA Guidelines also provide that brokerage fees (together
with NFA, exchange, floor brokerage, give-up, user and clearing fees) will be
considered presumptively reasonable if they do not exceed 14% annually of the
Partnership's Net Assets (excluding Partnership assets not directly related to
trading activity).
 
     In addition, the Limited Partnership Agreement prohibits the payment of
management and incentive fees to any person who receives brokerage commissions
or fees on transactions for the Partnership, as well as the payment by any
broker of rebates or give-ups to any advisor. Such prohibitions may not be
circumvented by any reciprocal business arrangements.
 
     In no event will organizational and offering expenses exceed 15% of the
Partners' capital contributions.
 
     ADVISOR.  THE PARTNERSHIP PAYS THE ADVISOR A MONTHLY MANAGEMENT FEE EQUAL
TO 1/3 OF 1% (4% PER YEAR) OF MONTH-END NET ASSETS ALLOCATED TO THE ADVISOR. THE
PARTNERSHIP ALSO PAYS AN INCENTIVE FEE PAYABLE QUARTERLY EQUAL TO 15% OF NEW
TRADING PROFITS EARNED BY JWH FOR THE PARTNERSHIP. The quarterly incentive fee
payable to the Advisor (for purposes of calculating the Net Asset Value as of
the end of the month that is not the end of a quarter) will be accrued on a
monthly basis. New Trading Profits are computed solely based on commodity
trading. "New Trading Profits" earned by the Advisor is defined in the
Management Agreement as the excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by the Advisor
at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the
end of the highest previous fiscal period or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor
at the date trading commences, whichever is higher, and as further adjusted to
eliminate the effect on
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   25
 
Net Assets resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions, reallocations
or capital distributions, if any, made during the fiscal period decreased by
interest or other income, not directly related to trading activity, earned on
the Partnership's assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets are held
separately or in margin accounts. For purposes of calculating JWH's incentive
fee, Net Assets shall equal the assets of the Partnership reduced only by
expenses equal to 5.25% (at an annual rate) of the Partnership's month-end
assets. This will have the same effect as increasing the incentive fee to
approximately 16% of New Trading Profits. No incentive fee will be paid until
the end of the first full calendar quarter of trading, which fee will be based
on New Trading Profits earned from the commencement of trading through the end
of that calendar quarter.
 
   
     If any payment is made to the Advisor with respect to New Trading Profits
earned by the Advisor for the Partnership, and the Partnership thereafter incurs
a net loss for any subsequent period, the Advisor will retain the amount
previously paid in respect of New Trading Profits. If Net Assets allocated to
the Advisor are reduced due to redemptions, distributions or reallocations,
there will be a proportional reduction in the related loss carryforward amount
that must be recouped before the Advisor is eligible to receive another
incentive fee. In the event redemptions, distributions or reallocations (net of
additions) are made at other than a quarter-end, the incentive fee, if any, will
be computed and paid as if it were a quarter-end. Since the incentive fee is
paid quarterly, substantial incentive fees may be paid to the Advisor during a
fiscal year even though the account managed by the Advisor may incur a net loss
for the full year. For example, if at the end of the last fiscal quarter the
Advisor had earned New Trading Profits of $500,000, it would be paid an
incentive fee of 15% thereof, or $75,000. That Advisor would be entitled to
retain that $75,000 even if the Partnership's account experienced losses during
the subsequent fiscal quarter. However, the Advisor would not be again entitled
to an incentive fee until such losses incurred by the Advisor were recovered.
    
 
   
     COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER.  SB will initially pay offering and organizational
expenses of the Initial Offering Period estimated at $710,000 which will be
reimbursed (together with interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase
Manhattan Bank) from interest income earned by the Partnership. Interest used to
reimburse SB will not be taken into account in computing brokerage or management
fees. See "Plan of Distribution" and "The Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Customer
Agreement". SB acts as commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership. The
Partnership has agreed to pay SB a monthly commodity brokerage fee equal to
13/24 of 1% of month-end Net Assets (6.5% per year). The Partnership pays a flat
rate brokerage fee instead of per transaction brokerage commissions. However,
based on an estimate of the number of transactions generated by the Advisor in
its customer accounts in 1996 the fee that the Partnership will pay is estimated
to equal $88.44 per round-turn transaction (of which $79.84 is brokerage
commission and $8.60 is other trading-related fees). The brokerage rate may be
substantially higher than the rate which SB charges certain other customers with
accounts of a similar size. The brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the
Partnership, although the rates at which such fees are paid may change. See "The
Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". Brokerage fees will not exceed the
limit imposed by the NASAA Guidelines. The Partnership enters into spot and
forward transactions with SB as principal at prices quoted by SB which reflect a
price differential between the bid and the ask prices (which differential
includes anticipated profits and costs to SB as dealer), but do not include a
mark-up. The spread charged on related party trades will be at competitive
market prices. Thus, the price quoted to the Partnership will be less than or
equal to the price quoted to any other SB account for the same forward or spot
transaction.
    
 
     The Partnership's funds will be maintained in cash and deposited by SB in
segregated bank accounts as required by CFTC regulations. Such accounts do not
earn interest. SB has informal arrangements with various banks with which it
does business pursuant to which it obtains overdraft privileges which are
extended as a result of the total banking relationship between SB and the banks
which includes the deposit of customer funds so segregated (although such funds
cannot be attached by the bank in the event of the failure of SB to repay the
overdraft). As a result of such overdraft privileges, SB is usually able to
reduce its other short term borrowings which generally carry a higher interest
rate than the 30-day U.S. Treasury bill yield.
 
     The Partnership will pay, or will reimburse SB if previously paid by SB on
behalf of the Partnership, for any NFA, exchange, floor brokerage, give-up, user
or clearing fees applicable to the Partnership's trading.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   26
 
Such fees and charges will be paid to the exchange on which the trades are
effected, to the floor broker or brokerage executing a transaction, to the
clearing association for such exchange or to the NFA. Although it is impossible
to predict the amount of such fees accurately, based on the past performance of
the Advisor, the Partnership could pay up to approximately .7% of Net Assets per
year to cover these fees. This is an estimate and not a cap. Such fees are
subject to various caps as discussed in this section under "Caps on Fees".
 
     OTHERS.  The Partnership is obligated to pay periodic legal, accounting,
filing, reporting and data processing fees and the expenses of the Continuous
Offering which may equal up to approximately .13% of Net Assets ($150,000) if
120,000 Units offered hereby are sold and .5% of Net Assets ($100,000) if 20,000
Units offered hereby are sold. The Limited Partnership Agreement requires the
Partnership to bear all of its offering expenses of the Continuous Offering. See
"Commodity Broker/Dealer" above. The Partnership also bears any extraordinary
expenses incurred by it. Any and all other general and administrative expenses
of the Partnership are borne by the General Partner.
 
                              BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS
 
     The following table is a summary of fees and expenses expressed both as a
dollar amount and as a percentage of a $1,000 investment in the Partnership. See
"Fees and Expenses to the Partnership." 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 12.16%, or $121.60 per Unit
(assuming the estimated Partnership size is $20,000,000), or 8.6%, or $85.96 per
Unit (assuming the estimated Partnership size is $120,000,000). The minimum
initial investment in the Partnership is $5,000, except that investments by
employee-benefit plans may be made for a minimum of $2,000 (subject to higher
minimums in certain states).

</TABLE>
 
- ---------------
(1) Investors will initially purchase Units at $1,000 each. During the
    Continuous Offering, Units may be purchased at the prevailing Net Asset
    Value per Unit.
 
(2) The Partnership will earn interest income on 80% of the average daily equity
    maintained in the Partnership's cash accounts at a rate equal to the average
    yield on the 30-day U.S. Treasury bills issued during each month. For
    purposes of this analysis, interest income was estimated at 3.92% of the
    Partnership's Net Asset Value (assuming an estimated annual interest rate of
    4.9%). Interest used to reimburse SB for offering and organizational
    expenses (see Note (6) below) will not be taken into account in calculating
    brokerage or management fees.
 
(3) Brokerage fees were estimated at 7.2% (6.5% for brokerage fees and .7% for
    other trading-related expenses) of Net Assets. In calculating the brokerage
    fee, Net Assets equals the equity maintained in cash at the end of the month
    plus unrealized gain (loss) on open positions and accrued interest income
    for the month.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   27
 
(4) The Partnership's Advisor will be paid a monthly management fee at the
    annual rate of 4% of Net Assets. In calculating the management fee, Net
    Assets equals the equity maintained in cash at the end of the month plus
    unrealized gain (loss) on open positions and accrued interest income for the
    month, less the monthly brokerage fee amount.
 
   
(5) The Advisor will be paid a quarterly incentive fee of 15% of trading profits
    reduced by expenses equal to 5.25% (at an annual rate) of the Partnership's
    month-end assets.
    
 
   
(6) Organizational and offering expenses will initially be borne by SB. SB will
    recoup these expenses, estimated at $710,000, together with interest at the
    prime rate quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank from interest earned on the
    Partnership's cash in its segregated bank accounts. The accrued liability
    for reimbursement of offering and organizational expenses of the Initial
    Offering Period will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit for any purpose
    (other than financial reporting), including calculation of management and
    brokerage fees and the purchase and redemption value of Units. (See Note (2)
    above).
    
 
(7) Operating expenses include periodic legal, accounting, filing and reporting
    fees, but do not include extraordinary expenses. These expenses are expected
    to amount to either $100,000 or $150,000 assuming either 20,000 or 120,000
    Units offered hereby are sold, respectively. Assuming 20,000 Units are sold
    this estimate consists of (i) legal expenses of $50,000, (ii) accounting
    expenses of $40,000 and (iii) other expenses (such as filing and reporting
    fees) of $10,000. Assuming 120,000 Units are sold, this estimate is
    comprised of (i) legal expenses of $65,000, (ii) accounting expenses of
    $50,000 and (iii) other expenses (such as filing and reporting fees) of
    $35,000.
 
                           POTENTIAL BENEFITS TO INVESTORS
 
     Investment in the Units is speculative and involves risks, including the
risk of loss. See "Risk Factors". However, investment in the Partnership offers
the following potential advantages:
 
     PROFESSIONAL TRADING MANAGEMENT.  Commodity trading decisions are made for
the Partnership by the Advisor. The Advisor manages the commodity investments of
the Partnership pursuant to the trading policies of the Partnership and certain
trend-following techniques and other technical strategies. The performance of
commodity accounts managed by the Advisor is described under "The Advisor".
 
     DIVERSIFICATION.  The assets of the Partnership will normally be invested
in a number of commodities, so that each limited partner will obtain greater
diversification in commodities traded than would be possible trading
individually unless substantially more than the $5,000 minimum investment
($2,000 in the case of employee-benefit plans, and subject to higher minimums in
certain states) required by the Partnership were committed to the commodity
markets. See "Trading Policies" and "The Advisor".
 
     Allocating a portion of the risk segment of a portfolio to a managed
futures investment, such as the Partnership, can add a potentially valuable
element of diversification to a traditionally structured stock and bond
portfolio. Historically, the returns of many managed futures investments have
exhibited a substantial degree of non-correlation with the performance of the
general equity and debt markets (as reflected in the performance of various
market indices such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for domestic equities,
the Lehman Brothers Bond Index for debt and the Morgan Stanley Europe,
Australasia and the Far East (EAFE) Index for international equities),
suggesting that a managed futures component may provide a valuable complement to
a traditional portfolio.
 
     This benefit of adding a managed futures component to a portfolio is an
application of Modern Portfolio Theory. Modern Portfolio Theory is an analytical
framework that suggests that it is possible for an investor to construct a
portfolio using multiple asset classes that attempts to balance desired returns
with tolerable risk (volatility as measured by standard deviation). This
objective can be achieved by adding investments for which the desired return has
a low to negative or non-correlation to the other assets in the portfolio.
Consequently, allocating a limited portion of the risk segment of a portfolio to
a managed futures program such as the Partnership, if the managed futures
performance is in fact non-correlated with stocks and bonds, can potentially
improve the overall return and reduce the volatility of the total portfolio over
the long term.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   28
 
     Although the General Partner generally endorses the Modern Portfolio
Theory, there can be no assurance that any managed futures investment will be
successful, avoid substantial losses or generate performance non-correlated with
the equity or debt markets. Furthermore, non-correlation is not negative
correlation. Even if the performance of the Partnership is non-correlated with
these markets, this does not mean that the Partnership's results will not
parallel either or both during significant periods of time. In any event, unless
a managed futures investment is successful, it cannot add a potentially valuable
element of diversification to a portfolio.
 
     LIMITED LIABILITY.  Unlike an individual who invests directly in commodity
futures or forward contracts, an investor in the Partnership cannot be
individually subjected to margin calls and cannot lose more than the amount of
his contribution to the Partnership and his share of the Partnership's profits
(including distributions of profits and payments on redemption of his Units). It
is possible for a limited partner to lose the entire amount of his contribution
to the Partnership. See "Commodity Markets -- Margins" and "The Limited
Partnership Agreement -- Liability of Limited Partners".
 
     INTEREST INCOME.  SB will pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the
average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership's trading accounts
with SB. The Partnership will reimburse SB for the total amount of offering and
organizational expenses of the Initial Offering Period (estimated at $710,000),
plus interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank, from
interest income. An individual trader would generally not receive interest on
the funds in his commodity account unless he committed substantially more than
the $5,000 minimum investment required by the Partnership. See "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement".
 
   
     BROKERAGE FEES.  The Partnership pays SB a fixed monthly brokerage fee
equal to 13/24 of 1% of month-end Net Assets (6.5% per year) in lieu of
brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. The Partnership will also pay
certain fees in connection with its trading as described under "Fees and
Expenses to the Partnership -- Others." See "Fees and Expenses to the
Partnership -- Commodity Broker/Dealer". Certain public customers of SB may pay
lower commission rates than the Partnership will pay, and other commodity
brokerage firms might offer lower rates to an account the size of the
Partnership's because different accounts require different levels of service and
monitoring based upon the number of advisors and the volume and complexity of
trading. In addition, pursuant to its Customer Agreement with SB, the
Partnership will receive several administrative services, such as account
reconcilement, payment of fees and expenses, crediting of interest income and
assistance with regulatory filings and monthly reports. These types of services
may not be provided to certain other public customers of SB and may account for
the possibly higher fees paid by the Partnership. See "Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement". Brokerage fees will be paid for the life
of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may change.
See "Conflicts of Interest" and "The Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees".
    
 
     ADMINISTRATIVE CONVENIENCE.  The Partnership provides investors with many
services designed to simplify the administrative details involved in engaging
directly in commodities transactions, including maintaining the books and
accounts of trading activities, preparing monthly and annual reports to limited
partners and supplying limited partners with information necessary for

Agreement -- Reports to Limited Partners".
 
                             CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
     The following inherent or potential conflicts of interest should be
considered by prospective investors before subscribing for Units:
 
     RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE COMMODITY
BROKER/DEALER.  The General Partner is an affiliate of SB, which acts as the
commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership. Since SB charges the Partnership a
monthly brokerage fee based on Net Assets rather than a per transaction
commission, the General Partner has no incentive to select advisors that will
generate a large number of trades to benefit SB. Instead, the General Partner
may have a conflict of interest between its responsibility to manage the
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   29
 
Partnership for the benefit of the limited partners and its interest in
selecting advisors that will generate a small number of trades, thus incurring
small amounts of charges incidental to trading so that Net Assets, from which
SB's fees are paid, remain relatively higher. Furthermore, the less active the
trading, the fewer services SB will be required to provide to the Partnership
with respect to such trading. In addition, the General Partner may have an
incentive to select advisors that trade more forward and spot contracts than
futures and options contracts, since forward and spot prices may include a
profit margin to SB as dealer. Because the General Partner is an affiliate of
SB, the General Partner has a potential conflict of interest in its decision to
replace the futures commission merchant, if necessary. The fact that the General
Partner and SB are affiliated creates a potential conflict in that the fees
received by SB may not have been set by "arm's-length" negotiation. The General
Partner is a fiduciary to the limited partners and, as such, must resolve any
conflict in favor of the limited partners. Prospective investors should be aware
that because SB and certain Financial Consultants (excluding principals of the
General Partner) receive a portion of the commodity brokerage fees generated by
the Partnership and allocated to outstanding Units sold by them, SB and such
Financial Consultants may have a conflict of interest in advising subscribers as
to whether they should redeem their Units or purchase additional Units. Except
as otherwise set forth in this section, no other conflict of interest exists on
the part of any other principal of SB. See "The Commodity Broker/Dealer -- 
Brokerage Fees".
 
     BROKERAGE RATE CHARGED BY THE COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER.  Pursuant to the
Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SB, SB acts as the commodity
broker/dealer 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
charges the Partnership a monthly brokerage fee equal to 13/24 of 1% of
month-end Net Assets (6.5% per year). Although the Customer Agreement is
non-exclusive, so that the Partnership has 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 does not intend to negotiate with
SB to obtain lower commission rates or to refer brokerage transactions to other
firms. However, the General Partner will review, at least annually, the
commission rates charged to other comparable commodity pools to determine that
the brokerage fee being paid by the Partnership is competitive with such other
rates. The General Partner, as a fiduciary to the limited partners, must resolve
any conflict in favor of the limited partners. Therefore, at the time of such
review, the General Partner will consider whether any action need be taken in
light of its obligations to the Partnership, and will advise the limited
partners of any action so taken. Limited partners would not be able to require
the General Partner to take any specific action, but could vote to terminate the
Customer Agreement with SB (with the vote of limited partners owning more than
50% of the Units) if independent counsel provides the General Partner with an
opinion that such vote would not affect their status as limited partners. See
"The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Amendments; Meetings".
 
     DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS.  The General Partner has sole discretion as to the
distribution of profits, if any, to the limited partners. The determination of
what is in the best interest of the Partnership or limited partners will be made
on a case by case basis by the General Partner in its sole discretion and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership and the limited
partners. To the extent that profits are retained by the Partnership rather than
distributed, the Net Assets of the Partnership, which determine the brokerage
fees payable in any year, will be increased, thereby increasing the maximum
amount of fees which can be earned by SB. In addition, the amount of funds in
segregated accounts at banks which extend overdraft privileges to SB will be
greater to the extent that profits are retained. See "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement". Thus, the General Partner may have a
conflict of interest between its obligation to the limited partners in
considering a distribution of profits and its interest in increasing fees
payable to SB. Any such conflict must be resolved in favor of the limited
partners. In any event, the General Partner does not intend to make any
distribution which would reduce the Net Asset Value of a Unit below $1,000, or
if the size of a distribution would not warrant the administrative expense which
would be involved, or if, in the opinion of the General Partner, a distribution
would otherwise not be in the best interests of the Partnership or the limited
partners. The General Partner has no current intention of making any
distributions.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   30
 
     ACCOUNTS OF SB, THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THEIR AFFILIATES.  The officers,
directors and employees of SB and the General Partner, as well as SB and the
General Partner themselves, may trade in commodity contracts for their own
accounts. The records of any 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 contracts for its customers. Thus, it
is possible that SB could effect transactions for the Partnership in which the
other 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. Trading decisions for the Partnership are not
currently made by the General Partner, SB or their affiliates. CFTC regulations
require that SB, to the extent possible, insure that each order received from
the Partnership which is executable at or near the market price be transmitted
to the floor of the appropriate contract market before any order in the same
commodity for any proprietary account of SB.
 
     CONTROL OF OTHER ACCOUNTS BY THE ADVISOR.  The Advisor manages the accounts
of clients other than the Partnership including other commodity pools and
intends to manage such accounts in the future. The Advisor acts as advisor to
the following pools operated by the General Partner: Shearson Select Advisors
Futures Fund L.P., Shearson Mid-West Futures Fund L.P. ("Midwest"), Smith Barney
Mid-West Futures Fund II, L.P. ("Midwest II"), Hutton Investors Futures Fund
L.P. II, Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P., F-1000 Futures Fund L.P.
Michigan Series II, Smith Barney Principal Plus Futures Fund L.P., Smith Barney
Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II and Smith Barney Principal Plus Futures Fund
L.P. II. The Advisor is the sole advisor to Midwest and Midwest II. In addition,
the Advisor and its principals and affiliates may trade for their own accounts.
The records of any such trading will not be available for inspection by limited
partners. It is possible that as a result of a neutral allocation system,
testing a new trading system, trading proprietary accounts more aggressively, or
other actions not constituting a violation of fiduciary duties, the Advisor or
its principals or affiliates may take positions in their proprietary accounts
that are opposite or ahead of a client (including the Partnership). As a result,
positions in proprietary accounts of the Advisor and its principals or
affiliates may be taken which are in competition with positions taken for the
Partnership. In addition, the principals of the Advisor devote time to other
business activities. All commodity futures and options positions held by all
accounts owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the Advisor and its
principals, including the portion of the Partnership's account managed by the
Advisor will be aggregated for purposes of determining compliance with
speculative position limits. As a result, the Partnership might not be able to
enter into or maintain certain positions if such positions, when added to the
positions held by such other accounts, would exceed the applicable limits. If
trading orders must be revised as a result of the application of speculative
position limits, the Advisor will modify such orders in a manner which will not
substantially disproportionately affect the Partnership as compared with the
Advisor's other accounts. In addition, the Advisor will not knowingly or
deliberately use trading strategies for the Partnership which are inferior to
those used for any other client or account nor favor any other account over the
Partnership in any way, although the Advisor may offer different trading
programs and various factors affecting different types and sizes of accounts may
require the utilization of different strategies or methods for such accounts.
See "Commodity Markets -- Regulation". See also "Risk Factors -- Possible
Effects of Competition" and "The Advisor -- Management Agreement" with respect
to other potential conflicts of interest arising in connection with the
operations and activities of the Advisor.
 
     OTHER ACTIVITIES OF SB.  SB maintains a commodity research department which
makes trading recommendations on a daily basis. In addition, SB sponsors
commodity trading programs in which certain customers participate. The trading
records of such programs will not be made available to limited partners. In such
programs and in its trading recommendations, transactions may be made or
recommended which are similar or opposed to transactions being made for the
Partnership. SB will not provide advisory services to the Partnership.
 
     OTHER COMMODITY POOLS.  The General Partner and its predecessors over the
last five years have sponsored and established over forty-five commodity pools
and may sponsor or establish other commodity pools which may compete with the
Partnership. See "The General Partner -- Other Pools Operated by the General
Partner". Neither the General Partner nor SB will knowingly or deliberately
favor any such pools over the Partnership in their dealings on behalf of such
other pools. In addition, the General Partner may in the
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   31
 
future serve as an advisor or co-advisor to such other commodity pools or to the
Partnership. If the General Partner were to serve as a trading advisor to the
Partnership, there would be a conflict between its duty to determine its
management fees in the best interests of the Partnership and its interest in
maximizing fees paid to itself (subject to limitations imposed by the NASAA
Guidelines as set forth in the Partnership Agreement). Of course, the General
Partner is bound by its fiduciary duties as a general partner to resolve this
potential conflict in the best interest of the limited partners.
 
     GENERAL PARTNER'S CHOICE OF ADVISORS.  The Limited Partnership Agreement
empowers the General Partner to make trading decisions for the Partnership
itself or to delegate some or all of its authority to make such decisions to one
or more trading advisors. The Limited Partnership Agreement empowers the General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership to enter into, renew, terminate or
renegotiate a management agreement with such advisors pursuant to which the
Partnership will be obligated to pay management and/or incentive fees to the
advisors. The Partnership has entered into the Management Agreement described
herein with JWH as sole advisor. The General Partner has no current intention of
selecting additional advisors for the Partnership. However, the General Partner
may have a conflict of interest between its obligations to act in the best
interests of the limited partners and its own interest in receiving fees from
the Partnership in the future. The General Partner believes that the fees
charged to the Partnership are fair to the Partnership and acknowledges its
fiduciary duty to negotiate future contracts including contracts with itself in
the best interests of the limited partners.
 
                                TRADING POLICIES
 
     The objective of the Partnership is to preserve and to achieve substantial
appreciation of its assets through speculative trading in commodity interests
including futures contracts, options and forward contracts. Commodity futures
and options trading may be conducted on all major United States and on certain
foreign commodities exchanges. The Partnership does not intend to act as a
dealer. The Partnership will attempt to accomplish its trading objectives by
following the trading policies set forth below:
 
          1. Partnership funds will be invested only in commodity contracts
     which are traded in sufficient volume to permit, in the opinion of the
     Advisor trading that contract, ease of taking and liquidating positions.
 
          2. No Advisor will initiate additional positions in any commodity if
     such additional positions would result in aggregate positions for all
     commodities requiring as margin more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership's
     assets allocated to the Advisor. For the purpose of this limitation,
     forward contracts in currencies will be deemed to have the same margin
     requirements as the same or similar futures contracts traded on the Chicago
     Mercantile Exchange.
 
          3. The Partnership will not employ the trading technique commonly
     known as "pyramiding", in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on
     existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of additional
     positions in the same or related commodities.
 
          4. The Partnership will not utilize borrowings except short-term
     borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities,
     provided that neither the deposit of margin with a commodity broker nor
     obtaining and drawing on a line of credit with respect to forward contracts
     shall constitute borrowing.
 
          5. From time to time trading strategies such as spreads or straddles
     may be employed on behalf of the Partnership. The term "spread" or
     "straddle" describes a commodity trading strategy involving the
     simultaneous buying and selling of 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 two contracts.
 
          6. The Partnership will not permit the churning of its commodity
     trading accounts.
 
     The trading policies described above (except the Partnership's basic
investment policies, Nos. 3, 4 and 6) may be altered by the General Partner
without approval by the limited partners if it is determined that such change is
in the best interests of the Partnership (based upon factors including but not
limited to the
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   32
 
performance of various futures markets, advisors and the risks associated with
modified trading policies). The limited partners will be notified by mail within
seven business days of any material changes in trading policies. The limited
partners may also change the trading policies of the Partnership in accordance
with the Limited Partnership Agreement, as set forth in Section 17(c) thereof,
set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Such procedures are also summarized under "The
Limited Partnership Agreement -- Amendments; Meetings".

     The General Partner employs a team of approximately 40 professionals whose

     A full time staff of due diligence professionals use state-of-the-art
technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money
managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading
activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities.
 
     There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions pending, on
appeal or concluded against the General Partner or any of its individual
principals within the past five years that are material to a decision whether to
invest in the Partnership.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement requires the General Partner to maintain
a cash investment in the Partnership equal to the greater of (a) 1% of the
aggregate capital contributions of all partners or (b) $25,000. If all 120,000
Units were sold (at $1,000 per Unit), the General Partner would contribute
$1,200,000. The General Partner will share in profits and losses of the
Partnership in proportion to its share of Partnership capital on the same basis
as the limited partners. The General Partner's capital contribution to the
Partnership will be treated as Units of General Partnership Interest for the
purpose of Partnership accounting. Units of General Partnership Interest are
equal in all respects to Units held by limited partners, except as to liability
and the ability to vote. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Sharing of
Profits and Losses" and "Amendments; Meetings." The Limited Partnership
Agreement also requires that the General Partner
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   34
 
maintain an overall net worth (including capital contributions) equal to the
greater of (a) 5% of the total contributions (including contributions by the
General Partner) to all limited partnerships to which it is a general partner
(including the Partnership) plus (prior to the termination of the Public
Offering) 5% of the Units being offered for sale in the Partnership or (b)
$50,000.
 
     David J. Vogel, the initial Limited Partner of the Partnership, acquired
one Unit of limited partnership interest for $1,000 to permit the Partnership to
be organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of New York.
Mr. Vogel may redeem his Unit for $1,000 and withdraw from the Partnership at
the termination of the Initial Offering Period if it is successful. No other
principal of the General Partner owns any Units, although they are not precluded
from purchasing such Units.
 
   
     As of March 31, 1997, the General Partner acts as general partner to
nineteen other active commodity pools that are currently trading. The
performance of all of these pools for the past five years and year-to-date
period is set forth on page 29.
    
 
     The statement of financial condition of the General Partner at December 31,
1996 and the report of the independent accountants thereon is set forth under
"Financial Statements".
 
     THIS POOL HAS NOT COMMENCED TRADING AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PERFORMANCE
HISTORY.
 
OTHER POOLS OPERATED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER
 
   
     Tables 1, 2 and 3 below set forth in capsule format, as prescribed by CFTC
regulations, the performance of the other commodity pools which have been
operated by the General Partner during the past five years. Table 1 sets forth
the performance of commodity pools currently operated by the General Partner for
the period from January 1, 1992 through March 31, 1997. Table 2 sets forth the
performance of commodity pools which were previously operated by the General
Partner during that period and which have ceased trading operations as of March
31, 1997. Table 3 sets forth the performance of commodity pools for that same
period previously operated by the General Partner for which it does not act as
commodity pool operator as of March 31, 1997. Additional information regarding
currently operated pools follows Table 1.
    
 
   
     Each of the funds has as its investment purpose to profit by speculation in
commodity interests. As of March 31, 1997, each fund operated by the General
Partner had a net asset value in excess of its initial offering amount.
    
 
   
     Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. offers other pools which have only one
trading advisor but whose performance may differ from the Partnership's
performance. Differences are due to different trading advisors (and programs
traded) as well as different partnership or organizational structures. JWH is
the sole advisor to Midwest and Midwest II. The combination of programs to be
employed by JWH in trading the Partnership's account vary from those used on
behalf of Midwest and Midwest II.

(a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by a pool over a specified
     period of time.
 
(b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by the
     pool in any calendar month expressed as a percentage of the total equity in
     the pool and includes the month and year of such draw-down.
 
(c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative percentage
     decline in month-end net asset value (regardless of whether it is
     continuous) due to losses sustained by the pool during any period in which
     the initial month-end net asset value of such draw-down is not equaled or
     exceeded by a subsequent month-end net asset value. The months and year(s)
     of such decline from the initial month-end net asset value to the lowest
     month-end net asset value are indicated. In the case where the pool is in a
     current draw-down, or was in a current draw-down at the termination or
     transfer date, the month of the lowest net asset value of such draw-down is
     disclosed followed by an asterisk (*).
 
    For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down calculation, any
     draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the five most recent
     calendar year period is deemed to have occurred during such five calendar
     year period.
 
(d) "Annual (Year to Date) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
     Monthly ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e.,
     each Monthly ROR, in hundredths, is added to one (1) and the result is
     multiplied by the subsequent Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then
     subtracted from the product and the result is multiplied by one hundred
     (100).
 
    Monthly rate of return ("Monthly ROR") is calculated by dividing each
     month's net performance by the corresponding beginning net asset value
     adjusted for time-weighted additions or time-weighted withdrawals.

BACKGROUND
 
   
     John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (JWH(R)), a California corporation, is a
United States-based global investment management firm. JWH is an established
leader in the managed futures industry and as of February 28, 1997 managed

utilize global foreign exchange, financial futures and commodities markets.
Assets are managed by JWH for leading money center banks, brokerage firms,
retirement plans, insurance companies, multinational corporations, private
banks, and family offices spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle
East. Funds for which JWH acts as manager or co-manager regularly have appeared
on industry lists of top-performing futures funds.
    
 
     John W. Henry & Company began managing assets in 1981 as a sole
proprietorship, and was later incorporated in the state of California as John W.
Henry & Co., Inc. to conduct business as a commodity trading advisor. JWH
intends to reincorporate in the State of Florida in 1997. The sole shareholder
of JWH is the John W. Henry Trust dated July 27, 1990. The trustee and sole

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
 
     JWH observes the following principles:
 
     Long-term Perspective.  JWH's investment strategies rest on a long-term
perspective on the world's financial and commodities markets. Historical
performance demonstrates that, because trends often last longer than most market
participants expect, strong returns can be generated from positions held over
the long term.
 
     Disciplined Investment Process.  The disciplined investment process
utilized by JWH is designed to generate superior, risk-adjusted rates of return
throughout a market cycle. By consistently applying investment techniques in
financial and commodities markets worldwide, JWH is able to participate in
rising and falling markets without bias.
 
     JWH's ongoing research has led to the development of analytical models
which suggest the appropriate content, weighting, exits and entries for each
investment position. Once established, these positions are monitored around the
clock. While many of these positions are closed out within a few days or weeks
at a
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   41
 
profit or loss, others are retained where JWH's investment guidelines indicate
potential opportunity for exceptional returns.
 
     Trend Identification.  JWH's strategies are nonpredictive. Instead, based
on comprehensive research on historic pricing data, JWH seeks to recognize the
movements of capital from one market to another after trends have begun.
 
   
     Global Diversification.  For more than a decade, JWH has recognized the
importance of global trading. Financial markets around the world are
increasingly interrelated, with actions in one country's markets often
influencing markets in other parts of the world. JWH investments are positioned
to provide access to the performance potential offered by the global
marketplace.
    
 
     Comprehensive Risk Management.  JWH's risk management strategies are
designed to decrease volatility and improve the risk/reward characteristics of
investments in futures and forwards by relying upon carefully formulated risk
management algorithms that define controlled loss parameters prior to execution.
 
     No assurance can be given that the Investment Philosophy discussed above
will be successful or that JWH will be able to achieve its objectives.

THE INVESTMENT POLICY COMMITTEE
    
 
     The Investment Policy Committee (the "IPC") is one vehicle for
decision-making at JWH about the content and application of JWH trading
programs. Composition of the IPC, and participation in its discussions and
decisions by non-members, may vary over time. The IPC is an interdepartmental
advisory body which meets periodically to discuss issues relating to the JWH
trading programs and their application to markets, including research on markets
and strategies in relation to the proprietary trading models employed by JWH.
JWH's proprietary research group may determine new markets which should be
traded in given portfolios, or determine markets which should be removed from
given portfolios. Non-proprietary recommendations from research are then
presented to and discussed by the IPC, which may recommend them to the chairman
for approval. Proprietary research findings are reviewed directly by the
chairman before implementation. All recommendations of the IPC are subject to
final approval by the chairman. The IPC does not make particular trading
decisions. The trading department initiates and liquidates positions and manages
JWH portfolios in accordance with the firm's proprietary trading methodology,
which is not overruled unless the chief trader or director of trading
administration determines that doing so is in the best interest of clients. No
trade indications are overruled without the express approval of the chairman.
The chairman may also notify the trading department at any time of special
situations which he deems may require a modification in applying the
methodology.
 
LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONCERNS
 
   
     There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions pending, on
appeal or concluded against the Advisor or any of its individual principals
within the past five years, except as noted below.
    
 
   
     In September 1996, JWH was named as co-defendant in class action lawsuits
brought in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County and in the New York
Supreme Court, New York County. In November 1996, JWH was named as a
co-defendant in a similar lawsuit filed in the Delaware Superior Court,
Newcastle County that contained the same allegations as the New York and
California complaints. Additional complaints containing the same allegations as
the earlier California complaints were filed in California in March 1997. The
actions, which seek unspecified damages, purport to be brought on behalf of
investors in certain Dean Witter, Discover & Co. commodity pools, some of which
are advised by JWH, and are primarily directed at Dean Witter's alleged
fraudulent selling practices in connection with the marketing of those pools.
JWH is essentially alleged to have aided and abetted or directly participated
with Dean Witter in those practices. JWH believes the allegations against it are
without merit; it intends to contest these allegations vigorously and is
convinced that it will be shown to have acted properly and in the best interest
of investors.

     JWH and Mr. Henry may 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 as or opposite to client positions due to testing a
new quantitative model or program, a neutral allocation system, and/or trading
pursuant to individual discretionary methods and on occasion such orders may
receive better fills than client accounts. 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

JWH TRADING POLICIES
    
 
The JWH Investment Process
 
     The first step in the JWH investment process is the identification of
sustained price movements -- or trends -- in a given market. While there are
many ways to identify trends, JWH uses mathematical models that attempt to
distinguish real trends from interim volatility. It also presumes that trends
often exceed in duration the expectation of the general marketplace.
 
     JWH believes that, because trends often last longer than most market
participants expect, significant returns can be generated from positions held
over a long period of time. As such, JWH attempts to pare losing positions
relatively quickly while allowing profitable positions to mature. Most losing
positions are closed within a few days or weeks, while others -- those where a
profitable trend continues -- are retained. 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
investment methods have been profitable. Large profits on a few trades in
positions that typically exist for several months have produced favorable
results overall. The maximum equity retracement JWH has experienced in any
single program was nearly sixty percent. Investors should understand that
similar or greater drawdowns are possible in the future.
 
     To reduce exposure to volatility in any particular market, most JWH
programs participate in several markets at one time. In total, JWH participates
in up to 60 markets, encompassing interest rates, foreign exchange, and
commodities such as agricultural and energy products and precious metals. Most
investment programs maintain a consistent portfolio composition to allow
opportunities in as many major market trends as possible.
 
     Throughout the investment process, risk controls are maintained in an
attempt to reduce the possibility of an extraordinary loss in any one market.
Proprietary research is conducted on an ongoing basis to refine the JWH
investment strategies and attempt to reduce volatility while maintaining the
potential for profitable performance.
 
     JWH at its sole discretion may override computer-generated signals and may
at times use discretion in the application of its quantitative models which may
affect performance positively or negatively. Subjective aspects of JWH's
quantitative models also include the determination of leverage, commencement of
trading an account, contracts and contract months, and effective trade
execution.
 
Program Modifications
 
     In an effort to maintain and improve performance, JWH has engaged, and
continues to engage, in extensive 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 methodology
alternatively, or in varying combinations, is a subject of continual testing,
review and evaluation. Extensive research and analysis may suggest substitution
of alternative investment methodologies with respect to particular contracts in
light of relative differences in historical trading performance achieved through
testing different methodologies. 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.
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   47
 
     As capital in each JWH 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 JWH may
vary the weighting at its discretion as market conditions, liquidity, position
limit considerations and other factors warrant. Investors generally will not be
informed of changes.
 
Leverage
 
     Leverage adjustments have been and continue to be an integral part of JWH's
trading methods. At its discretion, JWH may adjust leverage in certain markets
or entire programs. Leverage adjustments may be made at certain times for some
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 judgement 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 JWH
clients. JWH reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust its leverage
policy without notification to investors.
 
Addition, Redemption and Reallocation of Capital for Fund Accounts
 
     JWH 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 ("NAV") 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, JWH'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 NAV 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,
if, for example, additions were calculated on the first day of the subsequent
month. Therefore JWH 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 JWH's determination
of liquidity or other market conditions, JWH may decide to commence trading
earlier in the day on, or before, the last business day of the month, or, at its
sole discretion, delay adjustments to trading for an account to a date or time
after the close of business on the last day of the month. No assurance is given
that JWH will be able to achieve the objectives described above in connection
with funding level changes. The use of discretion by JWH in the application of
this procedure may affect performance positively or negatively.
 
Physical and Cash Commodities
 
     JWH may, from time to time, trade in physical or cash commodities for
immediate or deferred delivery, including specifically gold bullion, as well as
futures, options and forward contracts when it believes that cash markets offer
comparable or superior market liquidity or ability to execute transactions at a
single price. Cash transactions, as opposed to futures transactions, relate to
the purchase and sale of specific physical commodities. Whereas futures
contracts are generally uniform except for price and delivery time, cash
contracts may differ from each other with respect to such terms as quantity,
grade, mode of shipment, terms of payment, penalties, risk of loss and the like.
There are no limitations on daily price movements of cash or forward contracts
transacted through banks, brokerage firms or government dealers, and those
entities are not required to continue to make markets in any commodity. In
addition, the CFTC does not comprehensively regulate cash transactions which are
subject to the risk of these entities' failure or inability or refusal to
perform with respect to such contracts.

THE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM (INITIAL ALLOCATION: 35%)
 
     The Original Investment Program was the first program offered by JWH and
began trading client assets in 1982. The program is a broadly diversified
portfolio that offers access to a spectrum of financial and nonfinancial markets
using a disciplined trend identification investment approach. This program has
experienced an improved risk/reward profile since 1992, when the sector
allocations were altered and enhanced risk management procedures were
implemented. The Original Investment Program utilizes a long term, quantitative
approach which always maintains a position -- long or short -- in every market
traded by the Program.
 
THE FINANCIAL AND METALS PORTFOLIO (INITIAL ALLOCATION: 25%)
 
   
     The Financial and Metals Portfolio is JWH's largest and most widely
recognized program. The program began trading in 1984 and as of February 28,
1997 has over $1 billion in investor assets. The program attempts to deliver
attractive risk adjusted returns in the global interest rate, currency, stock
index and metals markets. Foreign currencies are traded in the interbank market
and occasionally on futures exchanges.
    
 
     The Financial and Metals Portfolio is designed to identify and capitalize
on intermediate and long term price movements in these markets using a
systematic approach to ensure disciplined investment decisions. If a trend is
identified, the program attempts to take a position; in nontrending market
environments, the program may remain neutral or liquidate open positions. During
certain periods covered in the capsule performance record below, proprietary
funds are included.
 
THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO (INITIAL ALLOCATION: 25%)
 
   
     The Global Financial Portfolio began trading client capital in 1994 and
offers access to a small group of energy and financial markets, including
currencies, global interest rates, and stock indices. The program is designed to
identify and capitalize on long term price movements using a disciplined trend
identification approach. This program always maintains a position -- long or
short -- in every market traded by the Portfolio.
    
 
THE GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO (INITIAL ALLOCATION: 15%)
 
     The Global Diversified Portfolio began trading client assets in 1988. This
program trades futures and forwards in up to 60 markets and is JWH's most
diversified program. The program is designed to identify and capitalize on
long-term price movements using a systematic approach. This program attempts to
take a position if a trend is identified, and attempts to eliminate the position
quickly -- i.e., may take a neutral stance (meaning no position is taken) -- if
a long-term trend fails to develop or during periods of nontrending markets.
 
SECTORS TRADED
 
     On a combined basis, these four Portfolios provide access to a wide variety
of market sectors around the world. Some of the sectors traded are: Global
Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange, Global Stock Indices, Energy, Precious and
Base Metals and Agriculture.
 
OTHER JWH PROGRAMS
 
     In addition to the programs to be utilized on behalf of the Partnership,
JWH currently operates six different investment programs for U.S. and foreign
investors, none of which will initially be utilized by JWH for the Partnership.
Each program is operated separately and independently.
 
     The International Foreign Exchange Program, begun in 1986, concentrates
exclusively on trading 10 to 15 foreign currencies in outright and cross-rate
positions, primarily through forward contracts. Portfolios are dynamic and
include from time to time various matrices of futures positions. The World
Financial Perspective, which began in 1986, involves trading the financial and
energy sector markets from the perspective of the Japanese yen, German mark,
Swiss franc, British pound, Australian dollar, French franc, Canadian dollar,
and the U.S. dollar. This pricing of key global markets in terms of foreign
currencies provides a level of diversification not generally found in futures
portfolios. In February 1991, JWH began trading a program in which the same
trading techniques utilized in the International Foreign Exchange Program are
primarily applied to the currencies of the major industrial nations known as the
Group of Seven, and Switzerland. These
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   49
 
currencies are among the most liquid, actively traded currencies in the world.
The G-7 Currency Portfolio makes use of both outright positions and cross-rate
positions. Positions are primarily taken in the Interbank market and from time
to time on futures exchanges. The International Currency and Bond Portfolio,
begun in January 1993, combines the techniques employed in the G-7 Currency
Portfolio and the global bond sector of the Financial and Metals Portfolio to
make a combined portfolio of currencies and international long-term bonds. The
Dollar Program began trading client capital in July 1996. This program is
designed to capitalize on price movements in the U.S. dollar utilizing an
intermediate term quantitative trend analysis model, and takes outright
positions in the Japanese yen, German mark, Swiss franc and British pound versus
the U.S. dollar. The Worldwide Bond Program began trading proprietary capital in
1994. This program invests in the long-term portion of global interest rate
markets. Although this program concentrates on one sector, diversification is
achieved by trading the interest rate instruments of numerous countries. The
program utilizes the proprietary quantitative models developed by JWH, but with
a moderate level of leverage as compared with programs that participate in
multiple market sectors. The KT Diversified Program, which began in 1983 and
closed in February 1994, participated in 8 market sectors and traded 19-24
commodities only on U.S. exchanges. InterRate(TM), which commenced trading in
November 1987 and ceased in July 1996, used a portfolio of foreign currency
contracts that sought to capture interest-rate differentials between countries.
This program utilized leverage that is significantly lower than other JWH
programs, reducing the risk as it sought to generate returns significantly
enhanced over the rates of prevailing 90-day U.S. government securities. The Yen
Financial Portfolio, which began in August 1991 and closed in March 1997,
concentrated trading specifically in the Japanese financial markets trading only
the Japanese Yen, the 10-year Japanese Government Bond, the Euroyen, and the
Nikkei 225 stock index. The Delevered Yen Denominated Financial and Metals
Portfolio was opened at the request of a client in October 1995 and closed in
December 1996. This program sought to capitalize on sustained moves in global
financial markets utilizing intermediate-term and long-term quantitative trend
analysis models, some of which attempt to employ neutral stances during periods
of nontrending markets. This portfolio traded at approximately one-half of the
leverage of the traditional Financial and Metals Portfolio and traded from the
perspective of the Japanese yen.

     Tables B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4 were prepared by the General Partner and set
forth the results of each program or portfolio that the Advisor will use for the
Partnership's account for the periods indicated in the tables, adjusted for the
brokerage, management and incentive fees and other expenses (including offering
and organizational expenses, where applicable) to be paid by the Partnership and
interest to be earned by the Partnership. Partnership interest was estimated
using historical 30-day Treasury bill rates during the time periods presented on
Tables B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4. Such rates are higher than current 30-day Treasury
bill rates that will be used to calculate Partnership interest income. The
application of historical rates may compare more closely to the Advisor's
interest income which was most likely earned at the then prevailing interest
rates of a particular time period.

                          NOTES TO PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
 
                NOTES TO TABLES A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 AND A-6
 
   
(a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by an account over a specified
     period of time.
    
 
(b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by any
     account in the program in any calendar month expressed as a percentage of
     the total equity in the program and includes the month and year of such
     draw-down.
 
(c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative percentage
     decline in month-end net asset value (regardless of whether it is
     continuous) due to losses sustained by any account in the trading program
     during any period in which the initial month-end net asset value of such
     draw-down is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month-end net asset
     value. The months and year(s) of such decline from the initial month-end
     net asset value to the lowest month-end net asset value are indicated. In
     the case where the trading program is in a current draw-down, or was in a
     current draw-down when the trading program closed, the month of the lowest
     net asset value of such draw-down is disclosed followed by an asterisk(*).
 
     For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down calculation, any
     peak-to-valley draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the most
     recent five calendar year period is deemed to have occurred during such
     five calendar year period.
 
(d) "Annual (or Period) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
     Adjusted ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e.,
     each Adjusted ROR, in hundredths, is added to one (1) and the result is
     multiplied by the subsequent Adjusted ROR similarly expressed. One is then
     subtracted from the product and the result is multiplied by one hundred
     (100). The Compound Average Annual Rate of Return is similarly calculated
     except that before subtracting one (1) from the product, the product is
     exponentially changed by the factor of one (1) divided by the number of
     years in the performance summary and then one (1) is subtracted. The
     Compound Average Annual Rate of Return appears on Table A-1, A-2, A-3 and
     A-4.
 
     Adjusted rate of return ("Adjusted ROR") is calculated by dividing net
     performance by the sum of beginning equity plus additions minus
     withdrawals. For such purposes, all additions and withdrawals are
     effectively treated as if they had been made on the first of the month even
     if, in fact, they occurred later, unless, beginning in 1991, they are
     material to the performance of a program, in which case they are
     time-weighted. If time weighting is materially misleading, then the Only
     Accounts Traded method is utilized.
 
ADDITIONAL NOTES TO ALL PERFORMANCE RECORDS:
 
     An investor should note that in a presentation of past performance data,
different accounts, even though traded according to the same investment program,
can have varying investment results. The reasons for this include numerous
material differences among accounts including: a) procedures governing timing
for the commencement of trading and means of moving toward full portfolio
commitment for new accounts; b) the period during which accounts are active; c)
trading size to equity ratio resulting from the procedures for the commencement
of trading and appropriate means of moving toward full portfolio commitment of
new accounts and capital; d) the size of the account, which can influence the
size of positions taken and restrict the account from participating in all
markets available to an investment program; e) the amount of interest income
earned by an account, which will depend on the rates paid by an FCM on equity
deposits and/or on the portion of an account invested in interest-bearing
obligations such as U.S. Treasury bills; f) the amount of management and
incentive fees paid to JWH and the amount of brokerage commissions paid which
will vary and will depend on the fees negotiated by the client with the broker;
g) the timing of orders to open or close positions; h) the market conditions,
which in part determine the quality of trade executions; i) client trading
restrictions, including futures versus forward contracts and contract months; j)
variations in fill prices; and k) the timing of additions and withdrawals.

     For the purpose of determining whether there exist material differences
among accounts traded pursuant to the same trading program, JWH utilizes the
method described herein. The gross trading performance of each JWH investment
program and each individual JWH account within the relevant program is reviewed
and the following parameters established by the Division of Trading and Markets
of the CFTC are calculated: (i) if the arithmetic average of two percentages is
greater than 10 percentage points and the difference between the two is less
than 10% of their average; (ii) if the arithmetic average of the two percentages
is greater than 5 points but less than 10 points and the difference between the
two is 1.5 percentage points or less; and (iii) if the arithmetic average of the
two percentages is less than 5 points and the difference between the two is 1.0
percentage point or less. If one of the parameters (i)-(iii) is satisfied in the
review, then the results within the designated range are deemed "materially the
same" or "not materially different". The parameters (i)-(iii) determine if
differences between accounts are materially different. JWH further evaluates
performance on a gross trading basis for materiality in an overall context each
JWH investment program and each individual JWH account within the relevant
program not satisfying the above parameters to determine whether any material
differences that are detected could produce misleading composite performance
results after review of the reasons for the differences.
    
 
     During the periods covered by the capsule performance records, and
particularly since 1989, JWH increased and decreased leverage in certain markets
and entire trading programs, and also altered the composition of the markets and
contracts for certain programs. In general, before 1993, JWH programs used
greater leverage than they currently do. In addition, the subjective aspects
listed in the "Trading Techniques" section have been utilized more often in
recent years and therefore may have had a more pronounced effect on performance
results during recent periods. The investment program used (although all
accounts may be traded in accordance with the same approach, such approach may
be modified periodically as a result of ongoing research and development by JWH)
may have an effect on performance results. In reviewing the JWH capsule
performance records, prospective investors should bear in mind the possible
effects of these variations on rates of return and in the application of JWH's
investment methods.
 
     The composite rates of return indicated should not be taken as
representative of any rate of return actually achieved by any single account
represented in the records. Investors are further cautioned that the data set
forth in the performance capsule records are not indicative of any results which
may be attained by JWH in the future since past performance is not necessarily
indicative of future results. The notes are an integral part of the performance
information. JWH has decreased leverage in certain markets and entire programs
on several occasions over the last five years. These actions have reduced the
volatility of certain programs when compared to the volatility prior to the
decreases in leverage. While historical returns represent actual performance
achieved, investors should be aware that the degree of leverage currently
utilized may be significantly different from that used during previous time
periods.
 
     Prior to December 1991 for JWH and July 1992 for JWHII, performance tables
are presented on a cash basis except as otherwise stated in the footnotes to the
tables. The recording of items on a cash basis should not, for most months, be
materially different to presenting such rates of return on an accrual basis. Any
differences in the monthly rates of return between the two methods would be
immaterial to the overall performance presented.
 
     Beginning with the change to the accrual basis of accounting for incentive
fees in December 1991 for JWH and July 1992 for JWHII, the net effect to monthly
net performance and the rate of return in the performance tables of continuing
to record interest income, management fees, commissions and other expenses on a
cash basis is materially equivalent to the full accrual basis.
 
     Due to the commencement of trading in July 1996 of a new multi-program fund
managed by JWH, JWH developed a new method for treating the accrual of incentive
fees for the multi-advisor funds and multi-program accounts it manages. For
these accounts, JWH agreed that it would earn incentive fees only when overall
fund performance for multi-advisor funds, or overall JWH performance for
multi-program accounts, as the case may be, is profitable. As applied, this new
method presents incentive fees due for each program on a stand-alone basis -- in
essence, to reflect the performance results that would have been experienced by
an investor in that program, regardless of any external business arrangements
(such as a multi-advisor structure or the use of multiple JWH programs) that
might have affected actual incentive fees paid. The new method
 
                                       53
<PAGE>   60
 
was applied initially to August 1996 performance. In that month, a one-time
adjustment to performance rate of return was made to each affected program to
show the impact of this adjustment from program inception through August 1996.
In the case of certain programs, the adjustment had a material (i.e., greater
than 10%) impact on the rate of return that otherwise would have been shown. In
the case of accounts that closed before JWH received an incentive fee due to the
operation of such netting arrangements, a balancing entry was made to offset the
effect of incentive fee accrual on ending equity.
 
ADDITIONAL FOOTNOTE TO THE GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO COMPOSITE TRACK RECORD
AND JWHII INTERRATE(TM) PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES UTILIZING THE FULLY-FUNDED SUBSET
METHOD (THE "SUMMARIES"):
 
     The level of Actual Funds in the accounts that make up the Summaries
currently requires additional disclosure. Actual Funds are the amount of
margin-qualifying assets on deposit. Nominal Account Size is a dollar amount
which clients have agreed to in writing and which determines the level of
trading in the account regardless of the amount of Actual Funds. Notional Funds
are the amount by which the Nominal Account Size exceeds the amount of Actual
Funds. The amount of notional equity in the accounts that compose the Summaries
requires additional disclosure under current CFTC policy. The Summaries include
notional equity in excess of the 10% disclosure threshold established by the
CFTC and reflect the adoption of a method of presenting rate-of-return and
performance disclosure authorized by the CFTC, referred to as the Fully Funded
Subset method. This method permits notional and fully funded accounts to be
included in a single performance record.
 
     To qualify for use of the Fully Funded Subset method, the Advisory requires
that certain computations be made in order to arrive at the Fully Funded Subset,
and that the accounts for which performance is so reported meet two tests which
are designed to provide assurance that the Fully Funded Subset and the resultant
Adjusted Rates of Return are representative of the programs.
 
     These computations have been performed for the Global Diversified Portfolio
from January 1, 1992 through June 30, 1996, and for JWHII InterRate(TM), from
its inception to its close. They were designed to provide assurance that the
performance presented to the Summaries and calculated on a Fully Funded Subset
basis would be representative of such performance calculated on a basis which
includes notional equity in Beginning Equity. The Adjusted Rates of Return in
the Records are calculated by dividing Net Performance by the sum of Beginning
Equity plus Additions minus Withdrawals. JWH and JWHII believe that this method
yields substantially the same adjusted rates of return as would the Fully Funded
Subset method were there any "fully funded" accounts, and that the Adjusted
Rates of Return for the Records are representative of the programs for the
periods presented.
 
     Rates of return determined on the basis of Beginning Equity (Actual Funds)
can be calculated from the Adjusted Rates of Return by dividing such Adjusted
Rates of Return by a fraction, the numerator of which is Beginning Equity
(Actual Funds) and the denominator of which is Beginning Equity. Alternatively,
these rates of return can be calculated by dividing Net Performance by Beginning
Equity (Actual Funds). As an example, in the Global Diversified Portfolio for
the month of August 1992, the Adjusted Rate of Return was 6.1 percent; an
account which had 50 percent Actual Funds would have had an Adjusted Rate of
Return of 12.2 percent (6.1%/50%).
 
ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR THE FINANCIAL AND METALS PORTFOLIO COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE
SUMMARY
 
     In May 1992, 35 percent of the assets in the Financial Metals Portfolio
were deleveraged 50 percent at the request of a client. The deleveraging
materially affected the rates of return in JWH's performance records. The 1992
annual rate of return for these deleveraged accounts was negative 24.3 percent.
The 1992 annual rate of return for the Financial and Metals Portfolio Composite
Performance Summary was negative 10.9 percent. If these accounts had been
excluded from the Financial and Metals Portfolio Composite Performance Summary,
the 1992 annual rate of return would have been negative 3.9 percent. The effect
of this deleveraging was eliminated in September 1992.
 
     Additionally, the Financial and Metals Portfolio Composite Performance
Record includes the performance of several accounts that do not participate in
global markets due to their smaller account equities which
 
                                       54
<PAGE>   61
 
do not meet the minimums established for this program. Accounts not meeting such
minimums can experience performance materially different than the performance of
an account which meets the minimum account size. The performance of such
accounts has no material effect on the overall Financial Metals Portfolio
Composite Performance Summary.
 
     In May 1991 and March 1992, respectively, two proprietary accounts began
trading pursuant to the Financial and Metals Portfolio. Both accounts appear in
the capsule performance from their inception until August 1995. The maximum
percentage of proprietary funds during this time was less than 0.5% and had no
material impact on the rate of return.
 
ADDITIONAL NOTE FOR YEN FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES
 
     The Yen Financial Portfolio is traded from the Japanese yen perspective.
Accounts may be opened with either U.S. dollars or Japanese yen deposits.
Accounts originally opening with U.S. dollars establish additional interbank
positions in Japanese yen in an effort to enable such accounts to generate
returns similar to returns generated by accounts with yen-denominated balances.
Over time, as profits and losses are recognized in yen-denominated Japanese
markets, accounts may hold varying levels of U.S. dollars and Japanese yen.
Additionally, the interbank position is adjusted periodically to reflect the
actual portions of the account balances remaining in U.S. dollars. Because
performance may be affected by fluctuations in the dollar/yen conversion rate,
and investors may open accounts with either U.S. dollars or Japanese yen
deposits, performance records from the perspective of both denominations are
presented.
 
     Accordingly, as the equity mix between U.S. dollars and Japanese yen
varies, performance from each perspective will also vary. Investors should be
aware that their individual account performance may differ from the composite
performance records presented in relation to the perspective of their base
currency. Such differences arise from exchange rate movements, percentage of
account balances held in yen, and fee arrangements.
 
ADDITIONAL NOTE FOR GLOBAL FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
 
     Since the inception of the Global Financial Portfolio, the timing of
individual account openings has had a material impact on compounded rates of
return. Based on the account startup methodology used by JWH, the performance of
individual accounts composing the Global Financial Portfolio Composite
Performance Summary has varied. In 1994, the two accounts that were open
generated separate rates of return of -44% and -17%. For the period January 1995
through June 1995, the three open accounts achieved separate rates of return of
101%, 75% and 67%. As of June 1995, these accounts now maintain mature positions
and are performing consistently with each other. Due to the six-month period in
1995 of varied performance, the three accounts therefore achieved an annual rate
of return for 1995 of 122%, 92% and 78%, respectively.
 
     ADDITIONAL NOTES TO THE PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES FOR THE GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED
PORTFOLIO, ORIGINAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM, THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO, THE
INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY AND BOND PORTFOLIO, AND THE G-7 CURRENCY PORTFOLIO
 
     The performance capsules for the above-mentioned programs (except the
Global Diversified Portfolio) each presently include one proprietary account
trading or which has been traded pursuant to an investment in a fund. The
proprietary account included in the Global Diversified Portfolio closed in
December 1995. These proprietary accounts are traded in exactly the same manner
that client funds would be traded, and are subject to all of the same fees and
expenses that would be charged to a client investment in the fund. Therefore,
there is no material impact on the rates of return presented.
 
       PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

                     NOTES TO TABLES B-1, B-2, B-3 AND B-4
 
   
     Tables B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4 were prepared by the General Partner and
present the results of applying certain arithmetical calculations to various
figures in the Advisor's performance record for the program or portfolio which
will be traded for the Partnership in order to indicate approximately what the
month-to-month effect on such figures would have been had the accounts in
question been charged the brokerage, management and incentive fees which will be
paid by the Partnership, as opposed to the brokerage commissions and management
and incentive fees which they did in fact pay, and received interest income on
80% of the accounts' equity. Adjustments for pro forma other expenses and
initial offering and organizational expenses were made to each of the Tables
B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4, where applicable, based upon an assumed average
partnership size of $60 million. The pro forma calculations are made on a
month-to-month basis, i.e., the pro forma adjustment to brokerage commissions,
management and incentive fees and interest income in one month does not affect
the actual figures which are used in the following month for making the similar
pro forma calculations for that period, except for pro forma incentive fees as
described in Note 4. Accordingly, the pro forma tables do not reflect on a
cumulative basis the effect of the difference between the fees and commissions
charged to and interest earned by the Partnership and the fees and commissions
charged to and interest earned by the accounts in the actual performance tables.
    
 
1.   Pro forma brokerage fees for each month have been calculated by adding the
     sum of (a) actual ending equity, actual management and incentive fees,
     actual brokerage commissions, actual other expenses and pro forma interest
     income minus actual interest income (the "Base Amount"), and (b)
     multiplying the result by 13/24 of 1%, plus estimated NFA, exchange,
     "give-up" and floor brokerage fees.
 
2.   Pro forma management fees for each month have been calculated by taking the
     Base Amount, subtracting pro forma brokerage fees and multiplying the
     result by 1/3 of 1%.
 
3.   Pro forma other expenses have been calculated by taking the Base Amount,
     subtracting pro forma brokerage fees and pro forma management fees and
     multiplying the result by 1/12 of .21%.
 
4.   Pro forma incentive fees have been calculated by: (a) adding to the actual
     net performance, actual management and incentive fees, actual brokerage
     commissions and actual other expenses, (b) subtracting actual interest
     income, and pro forma management fees, (c) subtracting the result of the
     Base Amount multiplied by 1.25% and (d) multiplying the resulting figure by
     15%. Pro forma incentive fees were calculated on a monthly basis (in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) and reflect the
     reversal of previously accrued incentive fees when profits sufficient to
     generate incentive fees are recognized as of the end of an interim month in
     a quarter but lost in a subsequent month in such quarter. In the case where
     there is cumulative negative net performance, which must be reversed before
     an incentive fee becomes payable, and there are net withdrawals, the
     cumulative negative net performance amount has been proportionately
     reduced.
 
5.   Pro forma interest income has been calculated by: (a) adding actual
     beginning equity to the sum of: actual ending equity, actual management and
     incentive fees, actual brokerage commissions and actual other expenses, (b)
     subtracting actual interest income, (c) dividing this sum by two, (d)
     multiplying by 80% and (e) then multiplying the result by the monthly
     historical 30-day Treasury bill rate. For purposes of the calculation of
     pro forma interest income, Partnership interest was estimated using
     historical 30-day Treasury bill rates of the time period presented on
     Tables B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4. Such rates are higher than current 30-day
     Treasury bill rates that will be used to calculate Partnership interest
     income. The application of historical rates may compare more closely to the
     interest income reflected in the Advisors' performance tables which was
     most likely earned at the then prevailing interest rates of a particular
     time period. The Partnership will reimburse SB for all organizational and
     offering expenses (plus interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase
     Manhattan Bank) from interest earned on the Partnership's cash.
 
 6.   Pro forma monthly rate of return ("Pro Forma Monthly ROR") equals pro
     forma net performance divided by the actual beginning equity (from the
     historical performance tables) or equity adjusted for material additions
     and withdrawals, where applicable.
 
                                       60
<PAGE>   67
 
 7.   Pro forma annual rate of return equals the Pro Forma Monthly ROR
     compounded over the number of periods in a given year, i.e. each Pro Forma
     Monthly ROR in hundredths is added to one (1) and the result is multiplied
     by the previous period's Pro Forma Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is
     then subtracted from the product. The Compound Pro Forma Average Annual
     Rate of Return for the entire period presented is similarly calculated
     except that before subtracting one (1) from the product, the product is
     exponentially changed by the factor of one (1) divided by the number of
     years in the period presented and then one (1) is subtracted. The compound
     pro forma average annual rate of return for the entire period appears as
     the last entry in the column.
 
 8.   "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest pro forma monthly loss
     experienced by the program on a composite basis in any calendar month
     expressed as a percentage of the total equity in the program and includes
     the month and year of such draw-down.
 
 9.   "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative pro forma
     percentage decline in month end net asset value (regardless of whether it
     is continuous) due to losses sustained by the trading program during any
     period in which the initial composite month-end net asset value of such
     peak-to-valley draw-down is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month's
     composite ending net asset value. The months and year(s) of such decline,
     from the initial month-end net asset value to the lowest month-end net
     asset value, are indicated.
 
   
NOTE:  The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record (Table C) of all
       of the programs and portfolios to be traded on behalf of the Partnership
       appears at page 101.
    
 
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
     The Management Agreement that the General Partner and the Partnership have
entered into with the Advisor provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in
determining the investment of the assets of the Partnership allocated by the
General Partner to the Advisor subject to the Partnership's trading policies.
The agreement continues in effect until June 30, 1998 and is renewable by the
General Partner for additional one-year periods upon notice to the Advisor not
less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the previous period. The agreement
can be terminated by the General Partner on 30 days' written notice to the
Advisor if (i) the Net Asset Value per Unit declines as of the close of business
on any day to $400 or less, (ii) the Net Assets allocated to an Advisor
(adjusted for redemptions, reallocations and withdrawals, if any) decline by 50%
or more as of the end of a trading day from such Net Assets' previous highest
value, (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of the outstanding Units vote
to require the General Partner to terminate the agreement, (iv) the Advisor
fails to comply with the terms of the agreement, (v) the General Partner, acting
in good faith, upon due consideration by its Board of Directors reasonably
determines that the performance of the Advisor has been such that the General
Partner's fiduciary duties to the Partnership require termination of the
agreement, or (vi) the General Partner reasonably believes that the application
of speculative position limits resulting from the aggregation of the
Partnership's positions with those of the accounts managed by the Advisor and
its principals (if any) will substantially adversely affect the results of the
Partnership's commodity trading. The agreement also provides that the Advisor
may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the General Partner in the
event that (i) the Trading Policies are changed in a manner which the Advisor
reasonably believes will adversely affect the performance of its trading
strategies, (ii) at any time after June 30, 1998 or (iii) the General Partner or
Partnership fails to comply with the terms of the agreement. The Advisor may
immediately terminate the agreement if (i) the General Partner fails to consent
to the Advisor's making a material change in the trading program outlined
herein, (ii) the General Partner requires the Advisor to liquidate its positions
other than in order that the General Partner may reallocate the Partnership's
assets, meet margin calls on the Partnership's account or fund redemptions or
(iii) if the General Partner's registration as a commodity pool operator or its
membership in the NFA is terminated or suspended. The General Partner may
immediately terminate the agreement of the Advisor if its controlling principal
dies, becomes incapacitated, or is otherwise not managing the trading programs
of the Advisor, or if the Advisor merges, consolidates with another entity not
controlled by John W. Henry, sells a substantial portion of its assets to an
entity not controlled by John W. Henry, or becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or if
its registration with the CFTC or membership in NFA is suspended or terminated.

     The compensation payable by the Partnership to the Advisor under the
Management Agreement is described under "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership."
 
     Under the Management Agreement the Advisor and its principals are free to
render advisory services with respect to other clients and accounts and may use
the same or different trading strategies which are utilized in managing the
Partnership's investments. However, the Advisor represents and agrees that any
such other services will not affect its capacity to continue to render services
to the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by the Management
Agreement. Further, if trading recommendations must be revised as a result of
the application of speculative position limits, the Advisor is required to
modify such orders in a manner which will not substantially disproportionately
affect the Partnership as compared with the Advisor's other accounts trading
that program. In addition, the Advisor represents and agrees that it will not
knowingly or deliberately use trading strategies or methods for the Partnership
that are inferior to those used for any other client or account nor favor any
other client or account over the Partnership in any way, although the Advisor
may offer different trading programs and the Advisor's trading will not
necessarily experience the same results as other accounts managed by the Advisor
due to differences in such variables including differing sizes of accounts,
accounts with different trading policies, fees, commissions or levels of
diversification, accounts experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity,
accounts which commence trading at different times, accounts which have
different portfolios or different fiscal years, accounts utilizing different
executing brokers and accounts with other differences.
 
     The agreement provides that with respect to any action in which the Advisor
is a party arising out of or in connection with the Management Agreement, the
sale of Units of the Partnership or the management of the Partnership's assets,
the Partnership and the General Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Advisor, subject to receipt of an independent legal opinion regarding the
applicable standard of conduct, against any loss, liability, damage, cost,
expense (including attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid
in settlement, incurred by such person in connection with such action 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 if such actions did not
involve negligence, intentional misconduct, or a breach of fiduciary obligations
to the Partnership as a commodity trading advisor in accordance with applicable
law. To the extent that the Advisor has been successful in defense of any
action, no independent legal opinion is needed.

                            FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY
 
     Duties of the General Partner.  Except as described below, the General
Partner, to the exclusion of all limited partners, conducts and manages the
business of the Partnership including, without limitation, the investment of the
funds of the Partnership. The General Partner may delegate its responsibility
for the investment of the Partnership's assets to one or more qualified trading
advisors. The General Partner monitors the trading and performance of the
Partnership and does not "churn" or permit the "churning" of the Partnership's
account. The General Partner is further authorized to enter into the Customer
Agreement with SB described herein under "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement" and to cause the Partnership to pay SB a
brokerage fee equal to 13/24 of 1% of month-end Net Assets allocated to trading
(6.5% per year) per month. The General Partner may take such other actions as it
deems necessary or desirable to manage the business of the Partnership
including, but not limited to, the following: opening bank accounts with state
or national banks; paying, or authorizing the payment of, distributions to the
partners and expenses of the Partnership, such as incentive fees, brokerage
fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and reporting fees, and registration
and other fees of governmental agencies; and investing or directing the
investment of funds of the Partnership not being utilized as margin deposits.
The General Partner shall seek the best prices and services available in its
commodity futures brokerage transactions. The General Partner reviews, not less
often than annually, the brokerage rates charged to public commodity pools which
are comparable to the Partnership to determine, to the extent practicable, that
the brokerage fee paid by the Partnership is competitive with such other rates.
See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Management of Partnership Affairs" and
"Risk Factors -- Dissolution of the Partnership; Cessation of Trading".
 
     The General Partner has sole discretion in determining what distributions
(other than on redemptions of Units), if any, the Partnership will make to its
partners. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Sharing of Profits and
Losses". The General Partner takes such actions as it deems necessary or
appropriate at any time to admit new or substituted limited partners to the
Partnership. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Additional Partners" and
"The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment".
 
     General Partner as a Fiduciary.  Under New York law, the General Partner
has a responsibility to the limited partners to exercise good faith and fairness
in all dealings affecting the Partnership. The General Partner has fiduciary
responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall not permit the limited partners to
contract away the fiduciary obligation owed to the limited partners by the
General Partner under common law. The law of fiduciary duties is a developing
and changing area of the law and limited partners who have questions concerning
the responsibilities of the General Partner should consult their counsel. In the
event that a limited partner believes the General Partner has violated its
fiduciary responsibility to the limited partners, he may seek legal relief for
himself or on behalf of the Partnership, if the General Partner has refused to
bring the action, or if an effort to cause the General Partner to bring the
action is not likely to succeed, or may have a right to bring a class action on
behalf of all of the limited partners, under applicable laws, including
partnership, commodities or securities laws, to recover damages from or require
an accounting by the General Partner. Limited partners may also be afforded
certain rights for reparations under the CEA for violations of the CEA by the
General Partner. There can be no assurance, however, that adequate remedies will
be available to the limited partners in the event that the General Partner fails
to perform its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership. In addition, a limited
partner may institute legal proceedings against the General Partner if it or a
duly selected trading advisor engages in excessive trading. Limited partners
should be aware that it would be difficult to establish that commodity trading
has been excessive due to the broad trading authority given to the General
Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Advisor under the
Management Agreement, the scarcity of judicial decisions providing standards
defining excessive trading, and the exculpatory provisions in the Limited
Partnership Agreement.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership shall
indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner or its affiliates, subject to
receipt of an independent legal opinion regarding the applicable standard of
conduct, against any loss, liability, expense (including attorneys' and
accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement, if the General
Partner (or its affiliate) determined in good faith
 
                                       63
<PAGE>   70
 
that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best
interests of the Partnership, the General Partner (or its affiliate) was acting
on behalf of or performing services for the Partnership and if such loss or
liability was not the result of negligence or misconduct. The General Partner
would be able to defend itself on that basis if it were involved in a lawsuit,
as established in New York law. No indemnification of the General Partner or its
affiliates is permitted for losses resulting from a violation of the Securities
Act of 1933 or of any state securities law. In addition, indemnification of the
General Partner and its affiliates in connection with any action against the
General Partner may only be made if consistent with applicable provisions of the
New York Revised Limited Partnership Act. The provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement are consistent with New York standards of fiduciary duty.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides further that the General Partner
shall not be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion
of the capital or profits of any partner (or assignee), it being expressly
agreed therein that any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to the
Limited Partnership Agreement shall be made from the assets (which shall not
include any right of contribution from the General Partner) of the Partnership.
 
     The effect of the above provisions may be that an investor in the Units
would have a more limited right of action than would be the case had such
provisions not existed. The CFTC has issued a statement of policy relating to
indemnification of officers and directors of a futures commission merchant and
its controlling persons under which it has taken the position that whether such
indemnification is consistent with the policies expressed in the CEA will be
determined by the CFTC on a case-by-case basis.
 
     The limited partners may be afforded certain rights for reparations under
the CEA. The CFTC has adopted rules implementing the reparations provisions of
the CEA which provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparations
award with the CFTC for violation of the CEA against a floor broker, a futures
commission merchant and its associated persons, a commodity trading advisor or a
commodity pool operator. The General Partner is registered with the CFTC as a
commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor; the Advisor is
registered with the CFTC as a commodity trading advisor; and SB is registered
with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant. In addition, the NFA has adopted
certain arbitration rules which, in appropriate circumstances, might provide
rights to limited partners. The General Partner, the Advisor and SB are members
of the NFA.
 
                          THE COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER
 
     Smith Barney Inc., the Partnership's selling agent and commodity
broker/dealer through which the Partnership executes its trades, is a clearing
member of The Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange, and other principal U.S. commodity exchanges. It is also registered
with the SEC as a securities broker-dealer and with the CFTC as a futures
commission merchant, and is a member of the NFA, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and major securities exchanges, including the New York
Stock Exchange. SB has approximately 500 domestic and international offices and
over 10,000 Financial Consultants. Its principal office is located at 390
Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013; telephone (212) 816-6000.
 
     SB provides commodity brokerage and clearing services for both retail and
professional participants in the commodity futures markets, including clearing
services for other commodity pools and other members of the commodity exchanges
of which it is a clearing member.
 
     BROKERAGE FEES.  The Partnership has entered into a non-exclusive Customer
Agreement (as described below) with SB pursuant to which SB executes trades on
behalf of the Partnership. Pursuant to the Customer Agreement, the Partnership
pays SB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 13/24 of 1% of month-end Net Assets
(6.5% per year) in lieu of per transaction fees and regardless of how many or
how few trades are executed during a month. This fee does not include exchange,
floor brokerage, user, give-up, clearing and NFA fees which will be paid by the
Partnership with respect to futures and options transactions. The Partnership
shall seek the best price and services available in its commodity futures
brokerage transactions. SB acts as principal on any spot and forward
transactions entered into by the Partnership. Such transactions are entered into
at
 
                                       64
<PAGE>   71
 
prices quoted by SB which reflect a spread between the bid and ask (which spread
includes anticipated profits and costs to SB as dealer), but does not include a
mark-up. The spread charged on related party trades will be at or below market
price. SB pays a portion of its brokerage fee to its Financial Consultants who
are registered as associated persons of a futures commission merchant and who
have sold Units in this offering so long as they are still employed by SB. Such
Financial Consultants provide ongoing services to investors including (i)
answering questions regarding daily net asset value and computations thereof,
monthly statements, annual reports and tax information provided by the
Partnership; (ii) providing assistance to investors in deciding whether and when
to redeem their Units or purchase additional Units; and (iii) general servicing
of accounts. Such Financial Consultants receive a portion of the fees
attributable to Units for the sale of which they were responsible. For this
purpose fees are deemed to be attributable to Units sold by a Financial
Consultant in the proportion which the number of such Units bears to the number
of all Units outstanding at any time. For example, if a Financial Consultant
were responsible for the sale of 200 Units and there were 40,000 Units
outstanding, .5% (200 divided by 40,000) of the aggregate amount available for
such payments would be attributable to the Units sold by a Financial Consultant
and the Financial Consultant would currently be credited with approximately 80%
of the amount attributable to the Units sold by him.
 
     The brokerage fee charged to the Partnership may not equal the lowest rates
which SB charges to any speculative account, including the accounts of its
employees, and may not be as low as rates which might be charged by other
commodity broker/dealers because different accounts require different levels of
service and monitoring based upon the number of advisors and the volume and
complexity of trading. In addition, pursuant to its Customer Agreement with SB,
the Partnership will receive several administrative services, such as account
reconcilement, payment of fees and expenses, crediting interest income and
assistance with preparation of all regulatory filings and monthly reports. These
types of services may not be provided to other speculative accounts of SB and
may account for the possibly higher rates charged to the Partnership. Since the
Customer Agreement is nonexclusive, and since the Partnership is not permitted
to enter into an exclusive brokerage agreement, the Partnership would have the
right to seek lower brokerage rates from other broker/dealers. The General
Partner believes that the arrangements between SB and the Partnership are
consistent with arrangements made between comparable commodity pools and other
broker/dealers and are fair to the Partnership. Therefore, the General Partner
does not intend to negotiate with any other broker/dealers for services to the
Partnership nor does it intend to negotiate with SB to obtain a better rate.
However, the General Partner will review, at least annually, the brokerage rates
charged to other comparable commodity pools to the extent practicable, to
determine that the brokerage rates being paid by the Partnership are competitive
with such other rates. The General Partner will renegotiate the Customer
Agreement if its fiduciary duties so require. In accordance with the Limited
Partnership Agreement, limited partners owning more than 50% of the outstanding
Units may terminate the Customer Agreement with SB (an affiliate of the General
Partner) on sixty days' notice without penalty. See "Conflicts of Interest".
 
     CUSTOMER AGREEMENT.  The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement
with SB pursuant to which SB executes transactions for the Partnership's
accounts in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. In addition to
specifying the services performed by SB, which include the execution of orders
and the rendering of bookkeeping and clerical assistance to the Partnership and
the General Partner, the Customer Agreement provides that SB will pay monthly
interest to the Partnership on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in
cash in the Partnership's trading account at SB during each month (i.e., the sum
of the daily cash balances in such accounts divided by the total number of
calendar days in that month) at a 30-day Treasury bill rate determined weekly by
SB based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest thereto) from the date on
which such weekly rate is determined. SB will be reimbursed for payment of the
Partnership's initial offering and organizational expenses (estimated at
$710,000) plus interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank.
Interest used to reimburse SB will not be taken into account in computing
brokerage or management fees.
 
     The Customer Agreement also provides that with respect to any action in
which SB or its affiliates is a party (other than an action by or in the right
of the Partnership), the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless such
person, subject to receipt of an independent legal opinion regarding the
applicable standard of conduct, against any loss, liability, damage, cost,
expense (including attorneys' and accountants' fees),
 
                                       65
<PAGE>   72
 
judgments and amounts paid in settlement, if the indemnified person acted in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of
the Partnership, and if such actions did not involve negligence, misconduct, or
a breach of fiduciary obligations. To the extent that the indemnified party has
been successful in defense of any action, no independent legal opinion is
needed.
 
     The Customer Agreement further provides that SB and the Partnership have
the right to offset any unrealized gains and losses on the Partnership's open
positions and to net any open orders for the purchase or sale of any property of
the Partnership.
 
     LITIGATION.  There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions
pending, on appeal or concluded against SB or any of its individual principals
within the past five years that are material to a decision whether to invest in
the Partnership, except as follows.
 
     In connection with the SEC's investigation of the primary distribution of
U. S. Treasury notes and unsecured debt securities issued by government
sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), which investigation emanated from disclosure of
activities of a large primary dealer in U. S. Treasury auctions (Salomon
Brothers), Smith Barney, in order to settle that aspect of the SEC's
investigation relating to GSE securities and without admitting or denying
liability, consented to the entry of an order by the SEC that Smith Barney
violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") and 17 C.F.R. Section 240.17a-3 and 17a-4 for failure to maintain accurate
books and records in connection with the primary distribution of GSE unsecured
debt securities. The order requires that Smith Barney cease and desist from
violating Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and 17 C.F.R. Section 240.17a-3 and
240.17a-4 in connection with the primary distribution of GSE unsecured debt
securities; Smith Barney pay a civil money penalty of $100,000; and Smith Barney
implement and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure
Smith Barney's future compliance with provisions of Section 17(a) of the
Exchange Act and 17 C.F.R. Section 240.17a-3 and 240.17a-4 in connection with
the primary distribution of GSE unsecured debt securities. The size of the civil
money penalty paid by each institution was a function of the amount of business
done by it with the GSEs and not related to the culpability of each settling
institution.
 
     In the course of its business, SB, as a major futures commission merchant
and broker-dealer is a party to various claims and routine regulatory
investigations and proceedings which the General Partner believes do not have a
material effect on the business of SB.

                               INCOME TAX ASPECTS
 
     The General Partner has been advised by its counsel, Willkie Farr &
Gallagher, that, in its opinion, the following summary describes the material
federal income tax consequences to a United States taxpayer who invests in the
Partnership, subject to the uncertainties referred to herein. The legal opinions
appearing in this section are the legal opinions of Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
The following summary is based upon the Code, and rules, regulations and
existing interpretations relating thereto, any of which could be changed at any
time. A complete discussion of all federal, state and local tax aspects of an
investment in the Partnership is beyond the scope of the following summary, and
prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers particularly as
respects the effect of their own individual tax characteristics.
 
CLASSIFICATION AS A PARTNERSHIP
 
     Treasury Regulations (the "check-the-box regulations") that were adopted in
1996 permit the Partnership to elect treatment as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. Even if the Partnership does not affirmatively elect
treatment as a partnership, the check-the-box regulations provide that the
Partnership will be classified as a partnership for federal tax purposes so long
as it has two or more members.
 
     Pursuant to Code Section 7704, "publicly traded partnerships" are taxed as
corporations. If the Partnership were treated as an association taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes, the income of the Partnership would
be taxed to the Partnership at corporate rates, no Partnership losses could be
used by the Partners to offset their own income and all or a portion of any
distribution by the Partnership to the partners would be taxed to them as
dividends to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of
the Partnership. See "Application of 'Publicly Traded Partnership' Rules to the
Partnership". The discussion which follows assumes that the Partnership will be
treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
 
IN GENERAL
 
     The Partnership will pay no federal income tax. Rather in the opinion of
Willkie Farr & Gallagher, each limited partner will report on his federal income
tax return his distributive share of the Partnership's income, gains, losses,
deductions, credits and other items for the Partnership's taxable year ending
with or within the partner's taxable year. A limited partner's distributive
share of such items for federal income tax purposes will be determined under the
Limited Partnership Agreement generally on a pro rata basis in accordance with
his capital account. A limited partner must report (and pay taxes on) his share
of partnership income for a particular taxable year whether or not any cash is
actually distributed to him for that year.
 
                 SUMMARY OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
                FOR UNITED STATES TAXPAYERS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS
 
     The following discussion applies only to limited partners who are citizens
or residents of the United States for federal income tax purposes, and who are
taxed as individuals. Corporate limited partners should consult their own tax
counsel as to the federal, state and local tax aspects of an investment in the
Partnership and, in particular, should consider the discussion of the New York
State corporate franchise tax under "State, Local and Other Taxes" below.
 
ALLOCATION OF TAX ITEMS
 
     Limited partners will be 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. For this purpose,
transfers or assignments of Units will be effective only as of the first day of
the quarter after the quarter in which the General Partner consents to such
transfer or assignment. The allocation of taxable income for Federal income tax
purposes by the Partnership may differ from the way in which the benefits of the
income have been allocated among the Partners for financial purposes as a
consequence of new Limited Partners joining the Partnership and existing
Partners adding capital to, or withdrawing capital from,
 
                                       67
<PAGE>   74
 
the Partnership during a taxable year of the Partnership. For example, a partner
may redeem Units at a time at which the Partnership has realized gains which are
offset by unrealized losses. The unrealized losses will reduce the amount paid
to the partner on redemption but, when later realized, may not be allocated for
tax purposes to the redeemed partner. Alternatively, if a partner redeems Units
when there are net unrealized gains, the redeemed partner will be paid for his
share of such gain, but when they are later realized any resulting tax liability
may have to be borne by the remaining partners.
 
     Unrealized gains/losses on many commodity interests held by the Partnership
at the end of its taxable year must be included in income under the
"mark-to-market" rule described below. For federal income tax purposes, these
gains/losses will be allocated to partners in proportion to their respective
capital accounts. The General Partner will determine each Partner's share of the
Partnership's gain or loss for tax purposes by marking to market the
Partnership's investments as of the end of each month of the taxable year and by
allocating the resulting gain or loss to those Partners who were Partners of the
Partnership during the month to which such gain or loss relates. Some ambiguity
exists under current law regarding the application of the mark-to-market rules
to Partners who redeem or transfer their interests other than at the end of the
Partnership's taxable year. Mark-to-market gains and losses might be allocated
only to those Partners holding interests in the Partnership at the end of the
Partnership's year and the Partnership may not be entitled to a basis adjustment
with respect to gains and losses on "Section 1256 contracts" (defined below in
"Commodity Provisions") regardless of whether the gains or losses may be
allocated monthly.
 
LIMITATIONS ON DEDUCTIONS
 
     (1) Basis:  A partner may not deduct Partnership losses to the extent they
exceed his basis in the Partnership as of the time he seeks to take that
deduction. A limited partner's initial tax basis for his interest in the
Partnership will be the amount of money he contributes to the Partnership. This
initial basis will be increased by the Partnership's income previously allocated
to him for tax purposes and by additional contributions and will be reduced by
the Partnership's losses previously allocated to him for tax purposes, and by
any distributions previously made to him by the Partnership. Losses denied under
this limitation are suspended and may be carried forward and deducted in
subsequent taxable years, subject to this and all other applicable limitations.
 
     (2) At Risk:  Similarly, a partner may not deduct Partnership losses for
tax purposes for a particular taxable year to the extent they exceed the amount
he has "at risk" for his interest in the Partnership at the end of that year. At
the end of a taxable year, a limited partner will be "at risk" for tax purposes
to the extent of the total of all money he has contributed to the Partnership
(except to the extent that the money contributed has been borrowed by the
limited partner either without recourse to the limited partner or from a person
with an interest in the Partnership or a person related to such a person), plus
his share of Partnership income for tax purposes previously allocated to him,
reduced by the amount of the Partnership's losses previously allocated to him
and reduced by the amount of any prior distributions to him. Losses denied under
this limitation are suspended and may be carried forward and deducted in
subsequent taxable years, subject to this and all other applicable limitations.
 
     (3) Capital Losses:  An allocable share of the Partnership's capital losses
may be used to offset short-term or long-term capital gains realized by a
partner, plus (for taxpayers other than corporations) up to $3,000 ($1,500 in
the case of a married individual filing a separate return) a year of ordinary
income. Generally, noncorporate taxpayers may carry forward, but may not carry
back, unused net capital losses. A noncorporate taxpayer may elect, however, to
carry unused net capital losses from trading in Section 1256 contracts back to
each of the three preceding years to the extent of the capital gain net income
for such preceding year from trading in Section 1256 contracts (or of overall
capital gain net income for the year, if less).
 
     (4) Passive Activity:  The Partnership's income will not be treated as a
"passive activity" for purposes of the limitation on the deduction of passive
activity losses.
 
     (5) Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions:  If the Partnership is treated as
engaged merely in an investment activity (and not in a trade or business), a
limited partner taxed as an individual would be allowed
 
                                       68
<PAGE>   75
 
a deduction for his share of general partnership expenses (which could include
management fees, incentive fees and legal and audit expenses but not commodity
trading expenses) only to the extent that the total of all of his investment and
other miscellaneous expenses exceeds 2% of his adjusted gross income. Whether
the Partnership will be engaged in a trade or business or in an investment
activity will depend on the extent and nature of the Partnership's trading
activity in any taxable year and could vary from year to year. However, based on
the contemplated extent of trading of the Partnership, the General Partner has
been advised by its legal counsel that the Partnership's activities should be
classified as a trade or business, rather than as an investment activity. It is
often difficult to distinguish among investment, trading and dealership
activities, and it is possible that the Service could conclude, based on its
independent examination of the facts regarding the Partnership's operations,
that the Partnership's transactions constitute dealer transactions or investing
in securities. Such determinations on the part of the Service may significantly
alter the tax consequences of a limited partner's investment in the Partnership
as described herein.
 
     Section 68 of the Code further limits an individual partner's ability to
deduct certain itemized deductions that otherwise are deductible against taxable
income. Specifically, for regular income tax purposes (but not for alternative
minimum tax purposes), the amount of itemized deductions that non-corporate
partners (other than estates and trusts) having adjusted gross income in excess
of a "threshold" amount (as defined below) will be allowed to deduct is reduced
by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of such partner's adjusted gross
income or (ii) 80% of the amount of the otherwise allowable itemized deductions
for the taxable year. The "threshold" amount for 1997 is $121,200 ($60,600 for
married persons filing separately). For purposes of Section 68, itemized
deductions are determined after application of the other loss disallowance rules
of the Code and do not include any deductions for medical expenses, investment
interest expense or for certain losses under Section 165(a) of the Code.
 
     (6) Syndication Fees:  Neither the Partnership nor any partner will be
entitled to any deduction for syndication expenses, that is, amounts paid or
incurred in connection with issuing and marketing the Units. There is a risk
that some portion of the brokerage fees to be paid to SB would be treated as a
nondeductible payment by the Partnership of syndication expenses.
 
     (7) Investment Interest:  A noncorporate taxpayer may deduct the total of
all his interest expense incurred or continued to purchase or carry "property
held for investment" only to the extent of his net "investment income" from all
such property he holds. A Unit of the Partnership should be considered "property
held for investment", and the interest expense incurred by a limited partner to
purchase or carry a Unit and such limited partner's distributive share of
Partnership investment interest expense should generally be subject to this
limitation.
 
     The deduction of investment interest that is disallowed under these rules
is not lost permanently but may be claimed as an investment interest deduction
in succeeding taxable years subject to the limitation. A limited partner's net
investment income will not include that portion of investment income derived
from long-term capital gains unless the partner elects to treat such gains as
short-term gains.
 
     Under the Code, a taxpayer may not deduct interest on indebtedness incurred
or continued to purchase or carry obligations, the interest on which is exempt
from tax. In the case of a limited partner owning tax-exempt obligations, the
Service might take the position that the limited partner's allocable portion of
any interest expense of the Partnership should be viewed in whole or in part as
incurred to enable the limited partner to purchase or carry the tax-exempt
obligations and that the deduction of any interest by the limited partner should
be denied in whole or in part.
 
CAPITAL GAIN
 
   
     The trading activities of the Partnership will, as a general rule, generate
capital gain and loss, and ordinary income. Partnership transactions would
result in ordinary income if the Partnership were considered to hold property
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. The
Partnership does not expect to hold its commodity interests for sale to
customers, and in particular does not expect to effect transactions in physical
commodities (other than spot and forward currency transactions), on a regular
basis. Certain foreign currency transactions could result in ordinary income as
discussed below.
    
 
                                       69
<PAGE>   76
 
INTEREST INCOME
 
     SB will pay interest on a portion of the average daily cash equity in the
brokerage account. Interest paid to the Partnership will be taxable currently to
the limited partners as ordinary income. In addition, any interest earned by an
investor on any subscription amounts that may be held in escrow will also be
taxable as ordinary income to him and should be reported in accordance with his
regular method of accounting.
 
COMMODITY PROVISIONS
 
     The Partnership will engage in speculative trading in commodities,
commodity options and commodity futures contracts on all major United States and
certain foreign commodity exchanges and will trade in forward contracts in
foreign currencies. The Advisors may from time to time employ trading strategies
such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. Special tax rules
generally apply to transactions in commodity interests.
 
     (1) Mark-to-Market:  Under the Code, all positions in Section 1256
contracts held by the Partnership at the end of its taxable year will be marked
to their market value, and any unrealized gain or loss on those positions will
be included in the income of the partners as if each position had been sold for
its fair market value on the last day of the Partnership's taxable year. (If,
however, the taxable year of the Partnership is different from the taxable year
of a partner, the operation of the mark-to-market rule is unclear, and the
treatment described herein may be challenged by the Service.) The General
Partner will mark to market the Partnership's investments as of the end of each
month of the taxable year. Section 1256 contracts generally include (i)
regulated futures contracts ("RFCs"), which are futures contracts traded on
regulated United States (and certain foreign) exchanges (including cash
settlement contracts such as Eurodollar or stock index contracts), (ii) most
foreign currency forward contracts traded in the interbank market (hereinafter
"interbank contracts"), and (iii) domestic (and certain foreign) exchange-traded
options on commodities, including options on RFCs, debt securities and stock
indices. Accordingly, it is expected that the mark-to-market rule will apply to
many of the Partnership's transactions in commodity interests. However, the
mark-to-market rules will 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 treatment under
the provisions of Code Section 988, as discussed below. If the Partnership does
not make that election, a partner may elect to have the partner's share of
foreign currency gain or loss on certain of the Partnership's Section 1256
contracts treated as ordinary income or loss, as described below.
 
     After positions in Section 1256 contracts held by the Partnership at the
end of its taxable year are marked to market, the resulting gain or loss will be
combined with any gain or loss realized by the Partnership from positions in
Section 1256 contracts closed during that year. Provided such positions were
held as capital assets and were not part of a "hedging transaction", nor part of
a "straddle" (see below), 60% of the resulting net gain or loss will be treated
as a long-term capital gain or loss and 40% of such net gain or loss will be
treated as a short-term gain or loss, regardless of the period of time
particular positions were actually held by the Partnership. (However, gain or
loss from positions treated as Section 1256 contracts under the Code Section 988
election provisions, if elected by the Partnership, would be treated entirely as
short-term capital gain or loss.)
 
     (2) Straddles:  If the Partnership incurs a loss upon the disposition of
any position which is part of a "straddle" (i.e., two or more offsetting
positions), recognition of that loss for tax purposes will be deferred until the
Partnership recognizes the gain in the offsetting position of the straddle. This
rule would apply to all of the positions in a straddle which includes one or
more Section 1256 contracts but which does not consist entirely of Section 1256
contracts (a "mixed straddle"), but not to a straddle all of the positions of
which are Section 1256 contracts. (Depending upon whether the Partnership makes
certain elections, the Section 1256 contract components of a mixed straddle may
be treated as not subject to the mark-to-market rules.) This provision would
also apply to the Partnership's positions in futures contracts on most foreign
exchanges and in forward contracts on foreign currency (other than interbank
contracts), which could result in the deferral of deductions for losses
resulting from the disposition of such positions or from the disposition of
Section 1256 contracts which offset those positions. The Partnership can
specifically identify particular positions as being
 
                                       70
<PAGE>   77
 
components of a straddle, in which case a realized loss would be allowable only
upon the liquidation of all of the components of the identified straddle. The
Partnership's trading strategies may include the use of spreads or straddles,
with or without making such identifications.
 
     Interest and other carrying charges allocable to positions which are part
of a straddle must be capitalized, rather than deducted currently.
 
     (3) Wash and Short Sale Rules:  The "short sale" rules may apply to
positions held by the Partnership so that what might otherwise be characterized
as long-term capital gain would be characterized as short-term capital gain or
potential short-term capital loss as long-term capital loss. Furthermore, "wash
sale" rules, which prevent the recognition of a loss from the sale of a security
where a substantially identical security is (or has been) acquired within a
prescribed time period, also apply where certain offsetting positions (other
than identified straddle positions) are entered into within the prescribed
period.
 
     (4) Section 988:  Currency gain or loss from transactions in (i) bank
forward contracts not traded in the interbank market and (ii) currency futures
contracts traded on a foreign exchange may be treated as ordinary income or loss
under Code Section 988. The Partnership may elect, in effect, to recognize gain
or loss from instruments described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding
sentence under the mark-to-market rules of Code Section 1256. Pursuant to that
election, gain or loss from such positions would be treated entirely as
short-term capital gain or loss. The Partnership currently intends to make the
election necessary to gain such treatment. If the Partnership does not make the
election, the partners may individually elect to have their share of foreign
currency gain or loss from certain of the Partnership's Section 1256 contracts
treated as ordinary income or loss, rather than 60% long-term and 40% short-term
capital gain or loss.
 
     (5) Partner-Partnership Positions:  It is unclear to what extent the loss
deferral, short sale, capitalization and wash sale rules would apply to
straddles consisting of Partnership transactions and transactions by a partner
in his individual capacity. Each prospective limited partner should review the
application of these rules to his own particular tax situation, with special
regard to the potential interaction between Partnership operations and
commodities transactions entered into by the prospective limited partner in his
individual capacity.
 
APPLICATION OF 'PUBLICLY TRADED PARTNERSHIP' RULES TO THE PARTNERSHIP
 
     Under Code Section 7704, certain publicly traded partnerships are treated
as corporations for federal income tax purposes. Publicly traded partnerships,
as defined in Code Section 7704(b), are partnerships the interests in which are
traded on an established securities market or are readily tradeable on a
secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof).
 
     Even if a partnership is considered to be publicly traded, Code Section
7704(c) provides that such a partnership will not be treated as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes if, as to each taxable year of its existence,
(i) with certain exceptions to be prescribed by forthcoming Treasury
Regulations, the partnership is not required to register under the 1940 Act, and
(ii) at least 90% of its gross income is "qualifying income," such as interest,
dividends, gains from the disposition of stock or securities, and, in the case
of a partnership that has as a principal activity the buying and selling of
commodities and commodity instruments, income and gains from such commodities
transactions.
 
     On the basis of its examination of the Partnership's objectives and trading
policies as described herein, Willkie Farr & Gallagher has concluded that at
least 90% of the annual gross income of the Partnership will consist of
qualifying income, as defined above. Based on that conclusion, the Partnership
could be expected to satisfy the gross income requirement in each of its taxable
years, beginning with the current taxable year. Further, Willkie Farr &
Gallagher has concluded that, so long as the Partnership is engaged primarily in
commodity trading, it will not be required to register under the 1940 Act.
Therefore, the Partnership does not expect to be taxed as a corporation under
Code Section 7704 even if it were to be viewed as publicly traded.
 
     Should the aforementioned facts, assumptions and representations fail to be
accurate for any reason, the IRS may take the position that the Partnership
should be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income
tax purposes. The continued treatment of the Partnership as a partnership also
is dependent
 
                                       71
<PAGE>   78
 
upon existing Code provisions, regulations promulgated thereunder and
administrative interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change.
Therefore, no assurances can be given that the Partnership's classification for
federal income tax purposes may not be changed during the term of its existence.
 
PARTNERSHIP AUDIT PROCEDURES
 
     The Partnership's federal income tax information return may be audited.
While partners have certain rights to participate in a partnership audit, some
of these rights are not available to partners owning less than a 1% profit
interest in a partnership with more than 100 partners. Accordingly, a limited
partner may not be able to participate in an audit of the Partnership's
information return, but could nevertheless be bound by a settlement reached in
that audit unless he has filed a timely pre-settlement notice with the Service
stating that he will not be bound by the settlement. An audit of the
Partnership's returns may result in an audit of a limited partner's tax return
and lead to adjustments of income and loss unrelated to an investment in the
Partnership.
 
REDEMPTION OF UNITS
 
     To the extent of his tax basis in his Units, cash distributed to a limited
partner by the Partnership upon redemption of Units will constitute a return of
capital that will not be reportable as taxable income, but will reduce his tax
basis in his Units. To the extent that cash distributions exceed a limited
partner's tax basis in his Units, an event which should only arise upon
redemption, such distributions will be taxable to him as gain from the sale or
exchange of the Units. Upon complete redemption of all of a limited partner's
Units, the limited partner may recognize loss to the extent of any unrecovered
basis in the redeemed Units. If the limited partner is not a "dealer" with
respect to the Units and has held his Units for more than one year, any gain or
loss on their redemption will be long-term capital gain or loss.
 
BROKER REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
     The subscription documents require each prospective investor in the
Partnership to furnish the investor's "taxpayer identification number." If the
number furnished is not correct, the investor may be subject to penalties
imposed by the Service and payments to the investor in redemption of Units (and,
possibly, other Partnership distributions) may become subject to 31% backup
withholding.
 
     The Partnership is not required to treat either its commodities
transactions or redemptions of Units as requiring separate reporting to
investors under Code Section 6045, since the information required to be
furnished by that section is identical to that furnished to each investor on
Schedule K-1 of Form 1065. The same information will be furnished to the Service
on Form 1065. Accordingly, investors will not receive separate Forms 1099-B with
respect to such transactions.
 
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX
 
     The alternative minimum tax for individuals is imposed on "alternative
minimum taxable income" ("AMTI") in excess of an exemption amount of $33,750
($45,000 for married individuals filing a joint return and $22,500 for married
individuals filing separate returns). A 26% rate applies to the first $175,000
of a taxpayer's AMTI in excess of the exemption amount, and a 28% rate applies
to AMTI more than $175,000 above the exemption amount. The exemption amount is
phased out at a rate of 25 cents on the dollar for AMTI in excess of $112,500
($150,000 for married individuals filing a joint return and $75,000 for married
individuals filing separate returns). AMTI consists of taxable income determined
with certain adjustments and increased by the amount of items of tax preference.
AMTI may not be offset by certain interest deductions, including (in certain
circumstances) interest incurred to purchase or carry Units in the Partnership.
Corporations are also subject to an alternative minimum tax.

<PAGE>   79
 
                   TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
 
     The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax consequences to
entities otherwise exempt from such tax (such as employee benefit plans,
individual retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and charitable
organizations) ("Exempt Organizations").
 
     In general, an investment in the Partnership is not expected to result in
significant amounts of "unrelated business income." If, however, any portion of
an Exempt Organization's allocable share of Partnership income is treated as
"unrelated business taxable income", the Exempt Organization will be liable for
a tax on that amount (plus all other unrelated business taxable income for the
taxable year), minus applicable modifications and deductions, at the rates
applicable to corporations.
 
     Unrelated business income includes certain income derived from
"debt-financed property." Such "debt-financed property" generally will include
securities purchased on margin. However, the Service has stated in private
rulings that margin accounts maintained with respect to certain commodities
trading do not create indebtedness and therefore such commodities traded on
margin do not constitute "debt-financed property." However, there is no
published authority for this view, private rulings have no value as precedent
and the Partnership will not seek a ruling from the Service on this issue.
Therefore, there is a risk that the Partnership's income could be viewed as
generated from debt-financed property and would therefore constitute unrelated
business income.
 
     If the Partnership were to purchase physical commodities with borrowed
funds (whether upon delivery under a futures or forward contract or otherwise)
and to sell those commodities at a gain, such gain would likely constitute
unrelated business income. The Partnership is entitled to engage in such
leveraged purchases of physical commodities. See "Trading Policies."
 
                          STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAXES
 
     In addition to federal income taxes, limited partners may be subject to
other taxes, such as state or local income taxes, and estate, inheritance or
intangible property taxes which may be imposed by various jurisdictions. A
non-New York corporate limited partner that is not otherwise subject to New York
State taxation may become subject to the New York State Corporate Franchise Tax.
The current minimum New York State corporate franchise tax ranges between $1,500
and $325, based on gross payroll, and the tax liability could be greater
depending on the application of alternate statutory formulas for determining the
amount of the corporate partner's net income that is allocable to New York
State. In general, such non-New York State corporate limited partners will be
subject to the Franchise Tax on their income allocable to New York unless (1) at
least 90% of the Partnership's gross income is from dividends, interest,
securities loans and gains from the sale of stock or securities or foreign
currencies, or other income derived with respect to the Partnership's
investments in stock, securities or currencies, and/or from income and gains
from commodities (which are not described in Code Section 1221(1) but are of a
kind customarily dealt in on an organized commodity exchange) or from futures,
forwards and options with respect to such commodities, or (2) such partner's
partnership interest is less than 1% or the tax basis in the interest does not
exceed $1,000,000. While the Partnership expects to satisfy the 90% income test
described above, no assurance can be given as to whether an investment in the
Partnership will create a Franchise Tax liability. Non-New York corporate
limited partners that are subject to New York taxes solely as a result of their
investment in the Partnership may make an irrevocable election to be subject to
New York taxes only on their share of Partnership income allocable to New York.
 
     The Partnership expects to take the position that it trades for its own
account and is exempt from the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax.
Non-New York City corporate limited partners are subject to the New York City
General Corporate Tax on income allocable to the City. The current minimum
General Corporate Tax is $300, although the actual tax liability could be
greater depending on how the corporate partner's income is allocated to New York
City.
 
     Each prospective limited partner should consult his own tax counsel with
regard to state, local and other taxes.

                SUMMARY OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
                      CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. TAXPAYERS
 
     A non-resident alien individual, foreign corporation or foreign partnership
not otherwise engaged in a United States trade or business or acting as a dealer
in commodities will not be deemed to be engaged in a United States trade or
business by virtue of an investment as a limited partner in the Partnership.
Capital gains earned by the Partnership and allocated to such a foreign limited
partner will, as a general rule, not be subject to United States federal income
taxation or withholding, but may be subject to taxation by the jurisdiction in
which such foreign limited partner is resident, organized or operating. Interest
income earned by the Partnership on its margin account with SB and interest
earned by limited partners on escrow deposits will, as a general rule, likewise
not be subject to the United States federal income tax or withholding, but may
be subject to tax in other jurisdictions to which such foreign limited partner
is connected. Prospective foreign limited partners who are engaged in a United
States trade or business or who act as dealers in commodities may be subject to
United States income tax and should consult their tax advisors before investing
in the Partnership.
 
                     BASIS OF SUMMARY OF INCOME TAX ASPECTS
 
     Except as otherwise set forth, the foregoing statements regarding the
federal income tax consequences to Limited Partners of an investment in the
Partnership are based upon the provisions of the Code as currently in effect and
the existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereunder. No
assurance can be given that administrative, judicial or legislative changes
(other than those discussed above) will not occur that would make the foregoing
statements incorrect or incomplete. Further, the foregoing discussion is not
intended as a substitute for careful tax planning, particularly since certain of
the income tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership may not be the
same for all taxpayers. Accordingly, prospective investors in the Partnership
are urged to consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax
situation under federal law and the provisions of applicable state, local and
municipal laws before subscribing for Units.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Partnership from this offering are estimated at
$120,000,000 assuming that all 120,000 Units were sold during the Initial
Offering Period at $1,000 per Unit. No selling commissions or organizational and
offering expenses related to the Initial Offering Period will be paid by the
Partnership. As used in this Prospectus, organizational and offering expenses
include legal and accounting fees, marketing and printing expenses, escrow
charges and filing, registration and recording fees. Such expenses are estimated
at $710,000 for the registration of Units included in this Prospectus. The
expenses of the Initial Offering Period (plus interest at the prime rate) are to
be paid initially by SB and reimbursed from the Partnership's interest income.
In no event will such expenses exceed 15% of the total amount of the offering.
Escrow charges consist of the following: (i) a $2,500 fee per escrow account,
(ii) all maintenance fees incurred in the cost of operating the bank money
market account, (iii) a wire charge of $5.00-$22.00 and (iv) miscellaneous
distributions and subscription charges.
 
     The proceeds from the offering will be deposited in the Partnership's
commodity trading accounts at SB and will be used for trading in commodity
futures contracts, forward contracts and other commodity interests in accordance
with the trading techniques and policies described under the captions "Trading
Policies" and "The Advisor." See also "Risk Factors -- Commodity Trading Risks."
All of the assets of the Partnership are maintained in cash and segregated as
customer funds under the CEA, except that margin with respect to certain
non-U.S. futures and options transactions are maintained in separate secured
amount accounts at U.S. banks not affiliated with the General Partner as
required by CFTC regulations. The General Partner estimates that approximately
80-95% of the Partnership's assets will be segregated as customer funds. The
Partnership's funds held in connection with contracts on U.S. contract markets
that are priced and settled in a foreign currency may be held in accounts
denominated in a foreign currency with a depository located outside the United
States or its territories, although it currently does not intend to do so. See
"Risk Factors." SB will deposit the assets of the Partnership (other than margin
for non-U.S. futures and options) in segregated bank accounts as required by the
 
                                       74
<PAGE>   81
 
CFTC. The banks will not pay interest on such accounts. However, SB will pay
monthly interest to the Partnership on 80% of the average daily equity
maintained in cash in the Partnership's account at SB during each month (i.e.,
the sum of the daily cash balances in such accounts divided by the total number
of calendar days in that month) at a 30-day Treasury bill rate determined weekly
by SB based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest thereto) from the date on
which such weekly rate is determined. The Partnership will reimburse to SB from
interest income the total amount of offering and organizational expenses of the
Initial Offering Period, plus interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase
Manhattan Bank. Such interest will be paid from SB's own funds. The interest
paid by SB to the Partnership will be credited to the Partnership's accounts at
SB monthly and consequently will be available to the Partnership for trading
purposes after reimbursement of the offering and organizational expenses. The
Partnership will make no loans. The assets of the Partnership will not be
commingled with the assets of any other entity, nor used as margin for any other
account. Deposit of assets with a commodity broker as margin shall not
constitute commingling. The Partnership estimates that its margin-to-equity
ratio will generally be in the range of 10% to 40%.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
   
     The Units are offered by the Partnership through its selling agent, SB,
pursuant to a Selling Agreement between the Partnership and SB. SB may permit
other member firms of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") and certain foreign brokers to participate in the offering. The Units
will be offered on a best efforts basis without any firm underwriting commitment
(so that neither SB nor any other underwriter has agreed to purchase any Units).
See "Risk Factors -- No Assurance That Units Will Be Sold". The Partnership will
pay no selling commissions to SB or any such members. The General Partner is an
affiliate of SB. SB will receive brokerage fees from the Partnership in its
capacity as commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership. Such fees may be deemed
to be underwriting compensation. SB will pay a portion of its brokerage fees to
its Financial Consultants who sell Units in the offering. Any additional firm
(other than a foreign broker who offers solely to non-U.S. clients) selected by
SB that receives continuing compensation in the form of a portion of the
commodity brokerage fees paid by the Partnership will be registered with the NFA
as a futures commission merchant or an introducing broker. Further, any
associated person of SB or such other firm who receives continuing compensation
in the form of a portion of the commodity brokerage fees paid by the Partnership
will be registered with the NFA as an associated person of a futures commission
merchant or an introducing broker (qualified as an associated person by having
taken the Series 3 or 31 Commodities Exam or having been "grandfathered" as an
associated person qualified to do commodity brokerage). In connection with the
sale of Units, SB may implement sales incentive and promotional programs for its
Financial Consultants who sell Units. Such programs may offer Financial
Consultants bonus compensation and/or gift items based on sales of Units. No
such programs will be offered to Financial Consultants unaffiliated with SB. SB
will submit any proposed sales incentive program to the NASD for approval prior
to its implementation. Additionally, SB will be reimbursed approximately
$120,000 in connection with travel expenses for its employees and approximately
$30,000 for expenses relating to sales seminars for SB personnel. In no event
will the total compensation paid to SB, its employees and any participating
member firms in connection with the distribution of Units exceed 10% of the
proceeds of the offering. (For this purpose, "total compensation" does not
include brokerage fees.)
    
 
   
     The Units will be offered at $1,000 for a period of 90 days from the date
hereof, subject to earlier termination or to extension for a period of up to an
additional 60 days by the General Partner acting in its sole discretion and for
any reason. Units offered after the Initial Offering Period will be sold at Net
Asset Value per Unit as of the end of each month, until the earlier of the sale
of all 120,000 Units and two years from the date of this Prospectus. Net Asset
Value is defined in the Glossary at page 98. The General Partner may determine
to increase the number of Units offered, not to sell Units in a particular month
(as a result of extraordinary circumstances in which the Advisor (or potential
advisor) is unable to accept additional assets) or to register additional Units
in a subsequent offering. All subscriptions will be held in an escrow account by
European American Bank, New York, New York until the end of the Initial Offering
Period or after trading commences, the first day of the month beginning at least
6 days after receipt of the subscription, on which day subscription funds will
be transferred to the Partnership's trading accounts at SB. If subscriptions for
20,000 or more Units
    
 
                                       75
<PAGE>   82
 
have been received and accepted by the General Partner upon the termination of
the Initial Offering Period, the subscriptions held in escrow will be
transferred to the Partnership, and it will commence futures trading. If
subscriptions for fewer than 20,000 Units have been received and accepted by the
General Partner by the termination of the Initial Offering Period, then the full
amount of all subscriptions will be promptly returned to subscribers within four
business days, together with a proportionate share of any earned interest. If
the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines not to offer Units
during a particular month in the Continuous Offering, subscriptions will remain
in escrow until the beginning of the next month on which sales will be
effective. Subscribers will be paid a pro rata share of the interest earned on
the subscriptions during the escrow period.
 
     The General Partner, acting in the best interests of the limited partners,
may at any time select a different escrow agent, provided that such escrow agent
is not affiliated with the General Partner or SB. Any such escrow agent would be
directed by the General Partner to invest subscriptions in legally permissible
interest bearing investments including direct United States government
obligations, certificates of deposit or bank money market accounts. However,
since such investments carry different minimum dollar amounts and varying
interest rates, the amount of interest, if any, that will be earned on a
subscription cannot be calculated.
 
     The General Partner may reject any subscription for any reason within a
reasonable time. During the Continuous Offering, a subscriber may revoke his
subscription if the General Partner determines not to offer Units as of the end
of a month.
 
                            INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS
 
     The minimum initial investment in the Partnership is $5,000 except that
investments by employee-benefit plans may be made for a minimum of $2,000
(subject to higher minimums in certain states). See Exhibit C hereto and "ERISA
Considerations". Investors who are already limited partners may purchase
additional Units with a minimum of $1,000 (except in Maine, where the minimum
additional subscription will be $5,000).
 
     Each investor must represent and warrant in the Subscription Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B that he either has (i) a net worth of at least
$150,000 (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles) or (ii) a net worth of
at least $45,000 and an annual income of $45,000. Certain states have higher
suitability requirements which are set forth in Exhibit C to this Prospectus.
 
     BY EXECUTING THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, INVESTORS ARE NOT WAIVING ANY
RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
 
     Each investor, by executing and returning the Subscription Agreement,
represents and warrants that (1) he has received a copy of the Prospectus as
appropriately supplemented; (2) he meets all applicable suitability standards as
set forth in the Prospectus as appropriately supplemented; (3) he consents to
the execution and delivery of a Customer Agreement between SB and the
Partnership and to the payment to SB of fees as described in the Prospectus;
and, (4) if he is not a citizen or resident of the United States for federal
income tax purposes, that he is not a dealer in commodities and he agrees to pay
or reimburse the General Partner or SB for any taxes imposed as a result of his
status as a limited partner.
 
     All of the representations and warranties are primarily intended to assure
and confirm that the investor is fully aware of and understands the elements of
the Partnership's structure and operation prior to making his investment. In
addition, they are intended to enable the Partnership, the General Partner and
SB to comply with certain requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act and
various state securities laws.
 
   
     In addition, each of representations (1) through (3) above is intended to
foreclose to the investor the possibility of alleging the opposite of such
representation and warranty in litigation by the investor against the General
Partner, the Partnership or SB. The General Partner, the Partnership and SB
would rely on such representations and warranties to respond to arguments made
to the contrary in the event of such litigation.
    
 
     Representation (4) is intended to require a non-U.S. investor subject to
that representation to be responsible for any taxes imposed as a result of that
investor's status as a limited partner and enable the Partnership and General
Partner to comply with federal tax laws. Each investor must also be either a
citizen or
 
                                       76
<PAGE>   83
 
a resident of the United States for U.S. tax purposes or must agree to reimburse
SB or the Partnership for any taxes, including but not limited to withholding
tax, incurred in connection with the investor's interest in the Partnership. See
"Income Tax Aspects -- Summary of United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
for non-U.S. Taxpayers."
 
     The General Partner may reject a subscription for any reason within a
reasonable time (within four business days of receipt of payment by the General
Partner).
 
     POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE UNITS AS A LONG-TERM (AT LEAST TWO
YEAR) INVESTMENT TO PERMIT THE TRADING METHODS TO BE EMPLOYED IN MANAGING THE
PARTNERSHIP'S INVESTMENTS TO FUNCTION OVER A SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME. SEE
"RISK FACTORS -- COMMODITY TRADING IS SPECULATIVE", "RISK FACTORS -- TRADING
STRATEGIES" AND "THE ADVISOR -- TRADING STRATEGIES".
 
                             SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE
 
     In order to purchase Units, an investor must complete and execute a copy of
the Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and deliver and/or mail
the Subscription Agreement to any branch office of SB or another selling agent.
 
     Payment for subscriptions may be made by the subscriber authorizing his

                       THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
 
     This Prospectus contains an explanation of the material terms and
provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit A hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference. Each prospective
investor should read this summary and the Limited Partnership Agreement
thoroughly before investing. The following description is a summary only and is
not intended to be complete.
 
LIABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNERS
 
     The Partnership was formed on March 21, 1997 under the laws of the State of
New York. Under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act ("New York Act"),
only a Limited Partner's capital contribution to the Partnership, and its share
of assets and undistributed profits, are subject to the risks of the
Partnership's business. Under the New York Act, a limited partner is otherwise
entitled to limited liability and is not responsible for the Partnership's
obligations if its activities in connection with the business of the Partnership
are limited to the exercise by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Limited Partnership Agreement, of the rights granted it therein. Certain states
where the Partnership anticipates doing business have statutes providing for the
same limitations on limited partner liability, but in those states that do not
have such statutes and where judicial precedents are unclear, a limited partner
may not have the benefit of such limitations. Under the New York Act, if a
limited partner participates in the control of the Partnership's business, which
it is prohibited from doing by the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
it may lose the limitation of
 
                                       77
<PAGE>   84
 
liability afforded by the New York Act and become liable as a general partner to
persons who transact business with the Partnership reasonably believing, based
upon the limited partner's conduct, that the limited partner is a general
partner.
 
     Section 121-607 of the New York Act prohibits a limited partnership from
making a distribution to a partner to the extent that, at the time of the
distribution and after giving effect thereto, all liabilities of the limited
partnership (other than liabilities to partners on account of their partnership
interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to
specified property of the limited partnership) exceed the fair value of the
assets of the limited partnership. For purposes of this limitation, the fair
value of property that is subject to a liability for which recourse of creditors
is limited is included in the assets of a limited partnership only to the extent
that the fair value of the property exceeds that liability. Under the New York
Act, a limited partner who received such a prohibited distribution and who knew
that the distribution violated the New York Act is liable to the limited
partnership for the amount of the distribution for a period of three years from
the date of the distribution. This section of the New York Act does not affect
any obligation or liability of a limited partner under the Limited Partnership
Agreement or other applicable law (including relevant fraudulent conveyance
acts) for the amount of a distribution.
 
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 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: determining whether the Partnership will make
distributions of profits to partners; 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.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement requires the General Partner to cause the
Partnership to dissolve at any time that Net Asset Value per Unit falls below
$400 as of the end of a trading day.
 
SHARING OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
 
     Partnership Accounting.  Each partner will have a capital account, and its
initial balance will be the amount he paid for his Units or, in the case of the
General Partner, its capital contribution (which shall be treated as Units of
General Partnership Interest). Any increase or decrease in the Net Assets of the
Partnership will be allocated among the partners on a monthly basis and will be
added to or subtracted from the accounts of the partners in the ratio that each
account bears to all accounts. The General Partner is not personally liable for
return of capital contributions or profits to the limited partners.
 
     Federal Tax Allocations.  At the end of each fiscal year the Partnership's
realized capital gain or loss, aggregate capital gain or loss resulting from the
monthly mark-to-market system, and ordinary income or loss, will be allocated
among the partners, and each partner will be required to include in his personal
income tax return his share of such items. Allocations will be pro rata for
short-term capital gain or loss, long-term capital gain or loss, and net
ordinary income or loss realized by the Partnership; however, each Partner's
share of the Partnership's capital gain or loss from "Section 1256 Contracts"
for tax purposes will be determined by marking to market the Partnership's
investments as of the end of each month of the taxable year and by allocating
the resulting gain or loss to those Partners who were Partners during the month
to which such gain or loss relates.
 
     For any limited partner who redeems or acquires Units during any fiscal
year, his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and ordinary income
and loss will be that which was realized by the Partnership during the period
that such Units were owned by such limited partner. Transfers or assignments of
Units will be effective as of the first day of the fiscal quarter following the
quarter in which notice of such transfer or assignment is given to the General
Partner. For purposes of determining the Net Asset Value of Units, gains
 
                                       78
<PAGE>   85
 
and losses will be allocated among those persons who are partners when
unrealized gains or losses occur due to changes in the value of open positions.
For federal income tax purposes, gains and losses are allocated among those who
are partners when positions are closed and the gains or losses are realized.
Therefore, if a partner's proportionate interest in the Partnership should
increase, as a result of redemptions of Units by other partners, between the
time an unrealized gain occurs and the time the gain is realized by the
Partnership, the partner's share of taxable gain for the fiscal year may exceed
his economic gain as reflected in the Net Asset Value of his Units.
 
     Upon dissolution of the Partnership, (and after satisfaction of all
liabilities of the Partnership), the assets of the Partnership will be
distributed to each partner in the ratio that his capital account bears to the
capital accounts of all partners.
 
ADDITIONAL PARTNERS
 
     The General Partner has the sole discretion to determine whether to offer
for sale additional Units 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 after commencement of trading operations must
be sold at the Partnership's then current Net Asset Value per Unit (plus selling
commissions, if any). The General Partner may make arrangements for the sale of
additional Units or partial Units in the future. See "Plan of Distribution". The
General Partner may also consent to the admission of any assignee of Units as a
substituted limited partner.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that a limited partner may
assign his Units upon notice to the General Partner. No assignment of Units will
be effective against the Partnership or the General Partner until the
commencement of the next fiscal quarter after the General Partner receives such
notice. Without the consent of the General Partner (which consent may be
withheld at its sole and absolute discretion for the purpose of preserving the
Partnership's tax status or to avoid adverse legal consequences to the
Partnership), no assignee may become a substituted limited partner. An assignee
who becomes a substituted limited partner will be subject to all of the rights
and liabilities of a limited partner of the Partnership. An assignee 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 assignor 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 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.
 
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
 
     The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up as soon as
practicable upon the first to occur of the following: (i) December 31, 2017;
(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 or withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that
causes the General Partner to cease to be a general partner under the New York
Act unless the Partnership is continued as described in the Limited Partnership
Agreement; (iv) Net Asset Value per Unit falls to less than $400 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, such as the entry
of a decree of judicial dissolution.
 
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.
 
                                       79
<PAGE>   86
 
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. The General Partner may amend this Limited Partnership Agreement without
the consent of the Limited Partners in order to (i) clarify any clerical
inaccuracy or ambiguity or reconcile any inconsistency (including any
inconsistency between this Limited Partnership Agreement and the Prospectus);
(ii) delete or add any provision of or to the Limited Partnership Agreement
required to be deleted or added by the staff of any federal or state agency; or
(iii) make any amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement which the General
Partner deems advisable (including but not limited to amendments necessary to
effect the allocations proposed herein or to change the name of the Partnership)
provided that such amendment is not adverse to the Limited Partners, or is
required by law. Any Units purchased by the General Partner, an Advisor or their
affiliates will not be entitled to any of the voting rights to which such Units
would otherwise be entitled under Section 17 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement, except as required by law. Limited partners are entitled to vote by
proxy.
 
     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 limited partner.
Upon receipt of a written request delivered in person or by certified mail,
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 15
days after such receipt, must call a meeting of the Partnership. Such meeting
must be held at least 30 but not more than 60 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 immediately prior to the removal of
the General Partner provided that the new general partner shall continue the
business of the Partnership without dissolution; (iv) a new general partner or
general partners may be admitted if the General Partner elects to withdraw from
the Partnership immediately prior to the withdrawal of the General Partner,
provided that the new general partner shall continue the business of the
Partnership without dissolution; (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.
 
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. 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 such 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 seven business days of such
occurrence: a decrease in the Net Asset Value of a Unit to 50% or less of the
Net Asset Value most recently reported; a decrease in assets maintained in cash
to 50% or less of the amount most recently reported; any change in advisors; any
change in commodity brokers or any change to payment of brokerage commissions on
a round turn basis; any change of 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 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, tax information necessary for the preparation of
the limited partners' annual federal income tax returns will be distributed to
the limited partners.

<PAGE>   87
 
POWER OF ATTORNEY
 
     To facilitate the execution of various documents by the General Partner on
behalf of the Partnership and the limited partners, the limited partners will
appoint the General Partner, with power of substitution, their attorney-in-fact
by executing a Subscription Agreement (including the Power of Attorney) attached
hereto as Exhibit B. Such documents include, without limitation, the Limited
Partnership Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership and amendments
and/or restatements thereto, and customer agreements with SB.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that with respect to any action
in which the General Partner or any of its affiliates is a party because of its
relationship to the Partnership, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold
harmless such person, subject to receipt of an independent legal opinion
regarding the applicable standard of conduct, against any loss, liability,
expense (including attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid
in settlement, incurred by it in connection with such action, if the indemnified
person acted in good faith, the course of conduct which caused the loss or
liability was in the best interests of the Partnership, the General Partner (or
its affiliate) was acting on behalf of or providing services for the Partnership
and if such actions did not involve negligence or misconduct. No indemnification
of the General Partner or its affiliates is permitted for losses resulting from
a violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any State securities law. In
addition, no indemnification of the General Partner or its affiliates may be
made in connection with any action against them if it would be inconsistent with
the New York Act.
 
                                  REDEMPTIONS
 
     Beginning at the end of six full months after the commencement of trading,
a limited partner may cause some or all of his Units to be redeemed by the
Partnership at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last day of a month (the
"Redemption Date") on 10 days' notice to the General Partner. 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 the redeemed Units will be made within 10 business days following
the Redemption Date by crediting the investor's SB account. The Net Asset Value
of a Unit is defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement to equal the Net
Assets of the Partnership divided by the number of units of limited and general
partnership interest outstanding. Net Assets of the Partnership is defined to
mean the total assets of the Partnership, including all cash, Treasury Bills,
accrued interest and the market value of all open commodity positions, less all
liabilities of the Partnership, determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. For the purpose of a redemption, any accrued liability
for reimbursement of offering and organizational expenses for the Initial
Offering Period will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit. The General Partner
reserves the right to permit the redemption of Units more frequently than
monthly (but no more frequently than daily), provided that such action is in the
best interest of the Partnership taking into account potential tax consequences
to Limited Partners.
 
     Except as set forth below, all requests for redemption will be honored, and
the Partnership's positions in commodity contracts will be liquidated to the
extent necessary to effect redemptions. The right to redeem is contingent upon
the Partnership having property sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the
Redemption Date and upon receipt by the General Partner of a written or oral
request for redemption at least 10 days prior to the Redemption Date. The
General Partner may temporarily suspend redemptions if necessary in order to
liquidate positions in an orderly manner. No partial redemptions are permitted
if after giving effect to the redemption a Limited Partner would own fewer than
three Units.
 
     Federal income tax aspects of redemptions are described under "Income Tax
Aspects". Under New York law, a limited partner who has received a distribution
upon redemption of Units may under certain circumstances be liable for any
amount, not exceeding the amount of such distribution. See "The Limited
Partnership Agreement -- Liability of Limited Partners."

<PAGE>   88
 
                              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") and/or Section 4975 of the Code. The phrase "employee
benefit plan" refers to plans of various types including corporate pension and
profit-sharing plans (including 401(k) 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.
 
     Notwithstanding the general requirement that investors in the Partnership
must invest a minimum of $5,000, a minimum investment of $2,000 has been set for
qualified employee benefit plans (see "Investment Requirements"). Greater
minimum purchases may be mandated by the securities laws and regulations of
certain states, and investors should consult the Subscription Agreement which is
attached as Exhibit B to this Prospectus and any supplement affixed hereto to
determine the requirements applicable to them.
 
     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, 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. This prohibition is designed to prevent
violations of certain provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.
 
     Under ERISA, a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan is required, among
other things, to discharge his duties toward such plan with the care, skill,
prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent
person 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 should consider (i) whether the investment is in
accordance with the documents and instruments governing and 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. A fiduciary 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.
 
     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 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 (1) the equity interest is a
"publicly-offered" security or a security issued by an investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (2) the
 
                                       82
<PAGE>   89
 
entity is an "operating company," or (3) equity participation in the entity by
benefit plan investors is not "significant."
 
     Under the Final Regulation, a "publicly-offered" security is a security
that is (i) freely transferable, (ii) part of a class of securities that is
owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of one another, and
(iii) either (A) a part of a class of securities registered under section 12(b)
or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (B) sold to the plan as part
of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the class of securities of which
such security is part is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which
the offering of such securities to the public occurred.
 
     For purposes of this definition, whether a security is "freely
transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all
relevant facts and circumstances. If a security is part of an offering in which
the minimum investment is $10,000 or less, however, certain customary
restrictions (enumerated in the Final Regulation) imposed on the transfer of
partnership interests necessary to permit partnerships to comply with applicable
federal and state laws, to ensure favorable treatment under federal or state tax
laws, and to meet reasonable administrative needs will not, alone or in
combination, affect a finding that such securities are freely transferable.
Although no assignee may become a substituted limited partner without the
consent of the General Partner, a limited partner may assign the economic
benefits of ownership of Units upon notice to the General Partner (see
"Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment" above). Because these restrictions are
among the permissible restrictions enumerated in the Final Regulation, the Units
should be deemed to be freely transferable.
 
     Inasmuch as the Units should be deemed to be freely transferable, the Units
are or will be registered under the federal securities laws as set forth in the
Final Regulations and assuming that the Units will be held by over 100 persons,
the Units should qualify as "publicly-offered" securities within the meaning of
the Final Regulation. As a result, under the Final Regulation the underlying
assets of the Partnership should not be treated as plan assets.
 
     In the unlikely event that the Partnership were deemed to hold plan assets,
prohibited transactions could arise under ERISA and 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 of the Partnership. Additional issues relating to the "plan
assets" and "prohibited transaction" concepts 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. sec.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 the 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 4975 of the Code upon the party in interest or
disqualified person with respect to the plan. A fiduciary that has engaged in a
prohibited transaction would be personally liable to (i) restore to the employee
benefit plan any profit realized on the transaction and (ii) make good to the
employee benefit plan any losses suffered by the employee benefit plan as a
result of the transaction. A prohibited transaction may also result in the
imposition of an excise tax under the Code upon
 
                                       83
<PAGE>   90
 
"disqualified persons" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) with respect to
the employee benefit plan. The disqualified persons involved would be liable to
pay an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount involved in the prohibited
transaction for each year during which the investment is in place, and would be
required to eliminate the prohibited transaction by reversing the transaction
and making good to the employee benefit plan any losses resulting from the
prohibited transaction. If the transaction is not corrected within a certain
time period, the disqualified person involved could also be liable for an
additional excise tax in an amount equal to 100% of the amount involved.
 
     In addition to liability for employee benefit plan losses, ERISA imposes a
civil penalty against fiduciaries of employee benefit plans who breach the
prudence and other fiduciary standards of ERISA, and against non-fiduciaries who
knowingly participate in the transaction giving rise to the breach of the ERISA
fiduciary standards. The civil penalty is equal to 20 percent 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 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 or disability or plan
termination. Plan fiduciaries should be aware that distributions to certain
participants may be required to commence in the year after the participant
attains age 70 1/2.

                               COMMODITY MARKETS
 
COMMODITY FUTURES
 
     Commodity futures contracts are contracts made on a commodity exchange
which provide for the future delivery of various agricultural commodities,
industrial commodities, foreign currencies or financial instruments at a
specified date, time and place. The contractual obligations may be satisfied
either by taking or making physical delivery of an approved grade of the
commodity (or cash settlement in the case of certain futures contracts) or by
entering into an offsetting contract to purchase or sell the same commodity on
the same exchange prior to the designated date of delivery. As an example of an
offsetting transaction in which the physical commodity is not delivered, the
contractual obligations arising from one contract to sell December 1997 wheat on
a commodity exchange may be fulfilled at any time before delivery of the
commodity is required by entering into one contract to purchase December 1997
wheat on the same exchange. In such instance the difference between the price at
which the futures contract to sell was entered into and the price paid for the
offsetting contract, after allowance for the brokerage commission or fees and
exchange and clearing fees, represents the profit or loss to the trader.
 
FORWARD CONTRACTS
 
     Currencies may be purchased or sold for future delivery through banks or
dealers pursuant to what are commonly referred to as "forward contracts." In
such instances, the bank or dealer generally acts as principal in the
transaction and includes its anticipated profit and costs of the transaction in
the prices it quotes. Mark-ups and/or commissions may also be charged on such
transactions. The Partnership will trade foreign currency forward contracts to a
significant extent. The forward markets are substantially unregulated. See
"-- Regulation," below. Unlike futures contracts, forward contracts are not of
any standard size. Rather, they are the subject of individual negotiation
between the parties involved. Moreover, because there is no clearinghouse system
applicable to forward contracts, forward contracts are not fungible, and there
is no direct means of "offsetting" a forward contract by purchase of an
offsetting position on the same (or a linked) exchange as one can a futures
contract. The forward markets provide what has typically been a highly liquid
market for currency trading, and in certain cases the prices quoted for forward
contracts may be more favorable than those quoted for comparable futures
positions on the International Monetary Market of the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange. Unlike futures contracts traded on United States exchanges, no daily
settlements of unrealized profit or loss are made in the case of open forward
contract positions.
 
     Commodity future and forward prices are highly volatile and are influenced
by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, government
agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and
international political and economic events, weather and climate conditions,
insects and plant disease, purchases and sales by foreign countries and changing
interest rates.
 
USES OF COMMODITY MARKETS
 
     Two broad classifications of persons who trade in commodity futures and
forwards are "hedgers" and "speculators". Commercial interests, including
farmers, which market or process commodities use the commodities markets
primarily for hedging. Hedging is a protective procedure designed to minimize
losses which may occur because of price fluctuations. For example, a
merchandiser or processor may hedge against
 
                                       85
<PAGE>   92
 
price fluctuations between the time he makes a contract to sell a raw or
processed commodity and the time he must perform the contract as follows: at the
time he contracts to sell the commodity at a future date, he simultaneously
enters into futures contracts to buy the necessary equivalent quantity of the
commodity and, at the time for performance of the contract, he either accepts
delivery under his futures contracts or buys the actual commodity and closes out
his futures position by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the
commodity. Similarly, a processor may need to purchase raw materials abroad in
foreign currencies in order to fulfill a contract for forward delivery of a
commodity or byproduct in the United States. Such a processor may hedge against
the price fluctuation of foreign currency by entering into a futures (or
forward) contract for the foreign currency. Thus the commodity markets enable
the hedger to shift the risk of price fluctuations to the speculator. The usual
objective of the hedger is to protect the profit which he expects to earn from
his farming, merchandising or processing operations, rather than to profit from
his commodity trading.
 
     The speculator, unlike the hedger, generally expects neither to deliver nor
receive the physical commodity. Instead, the speculator risks his capital with
the hope of profiting from price fluctuations in commodity futures contracts.
The speculator is, in effect, the risk bearer who assumes the risks which the
hedger seeks to avoid. Speculators rarely take delivery of the physical
commodity but usually close out their futures positions by entering into
offsetting contracts. Because the speculator may take either long or short
positions in the commodity market, it is possible for him to make profits or
incur losses regardless of the direction of price trends. Commodities trades
made by the Partnership will be speculative rather than for hedging purposes.
 
     A very large number of firms and individuals trade in the commodities
markets as hedgers or speculators, many of whom have assets greatly in excess of
the Partnership's.
 
OPTIONS
 
     The CFTC permits domestic exchanges to apply for licensing for the trading
of options on futures contracts and on physical commodities. The Partnership may
trade in such commodity options as are established on domestic exchanges.
Trading policies of the Partnership place no limitation on the percentage of Net
Assets which may be invested in options, and the Partnership may write options.
The Partnership may trade over-the-counter currency options to the extent
permitted by CFTC regulations.
 
     The risks involved in trading commodity options on exchanges are similar to
those involved in trading futures contracts, in that options are speculative and
highly leveraged. Specific market movements of the commodity or futures contract
underlying an option cannot be predicted. Options are bought and sold on the
trading floor of a commodity exchange. The purchaser of an option pays a premium
and may be charged commissions and other fees. The writer of an option must make
margin deposits and may be charged commissions and other fees. Exchanges provide
trading mechanisms so that an option once purchased can later be sold and an
option once written can later be liquidated by an offsetting purchase. However,
there can be no assurance that a liquid offset market will exist for any
particular option or at any particular time. In such case, it might not be
possible to effect offsetting transactions in particular options. Thus in the
case of an option on a future, to realize any profit, a holder would have to
exercise his option and have to comply with margin requirements for the
underlying futures contract. A writer could not terminate his obligation until
the option expired or he was assigned an exercise notice.
 
REGULATION
 
     Commodity exchanges provide centralized market facilities for trading in
futures contracts relating to specified commodities. Among the principal
exchanges in the United States are the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange (including the International Monetary Market) and the New
York Mercantile Exchange, Inc.
 
   
     Commodity exchanges in the United States are subject to regulation under
the CEA by the CFTC.
    
Under the amendments to the CEA effected by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission Act of 1974, the CFTC has become the governmental agency having
responsibility for regulation of U.S. commodity exchanges and commodity futures
trading. The function of the CFTC is to implement the objectives of the
 
                                       86
<PAGE>   93
 
CEA of preventing price manipulation and excessive speculation and promoting
orderly and efficient commodity futures markets. Such regulation, among other
things, provides that futures trading in commodities must be upon exchanges
designated as "contract markets", and that all trading on such exchanges must be
done by or through exchange members. Under the 1974 amendments to the CEA,
futures trading in all commodities traded on domestic exchanges is regulated. In
addition, on September 8, 1981, the CFTC adopted rules regulating trading of
commodity options which had previously been banned by the CFTC. However, trading
in spot commodities and forward contracts may not be within the jurisdiction of
the CFTC and may therefore be effectively unregulated. Investors should note
that various government agencies have investigated practices engaged in on the
floors of the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and
certain New York exchanges and in this connection a number of floor brokers on
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange have been indicted and some have been convicted
for certain trading practices.
 
     The CFTC also has exclusive jurisdiction to regulate the activities of
"commodity pool operators" and "commodity trading advisors". The General Partner
is registered as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor and
the Advisor is registered as a commodity trading advisor. 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 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.
 
     SB, the commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership, is also subject to
regulation by and registration with the CFTC as a "futures commission merchant".
With respect to domestic futures and options trading, the CEA requires all
futures commission merchants to meet and maintain specified fitness and
financial requirements, account separately for all customers' funds, property
and positions, and maintain specified books and records on customer transactions
open to inspection by the staff of the CFTC. The CEA authorizes the CFTC to
regulate trading by commodity brokerage firms and their employees, permits the
CFTC to require exchange action in the event of market emergencies, and
establishes an administrative procedure under which commodity traders may
institute complaints for damages arising from alleged violations of the CEA.
Under such procedures, limited partners may be afforded certain rights for
reparations under the CEA. For a discussion of such rights, see "Fiduciary
Responsibility".
 
     Many exchanges (but currently not the foreign currency futures markets
other than during the first fifteen minutes of a trading day or the foreign
currency forward market) normally have regulations which limit the amount of
fluctuation in commodity futures contract prices during a single trading day.
These regulations specify what are referred to as "daily price fluctuation
limits" or, more commonly, "daily limits". The daily limits establish the
maximum amount the price of a futures contract may vary from the previous day's
settlement price at the end of the trading session. Once the daily limit has
been reached in a particular commodity, no trades may be made at a price beyond
the limit. Positions in the commodity could then be taken or liquidated only if
traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit during the period
for trading on such day. The "daily limit" rule does not limit losses which
might be suffered by a trader because it may prevent the liquidation of
unfavorable positions. Also, commodity futures prices have moved the daily limit
for several consecutive trading days in the past, thus preventing prompt
liquidation of futures positions and subjecting the commodity futures trader to
substantial losses. See "Risk Factors -- Commodity Trading May Be Illiquid".
 
     The CFTC and U.S. exchanges have established limits, referred to as
"position limits", on the maximum net long or net short position which any
person, or group of persons acting together, may hold or control in particular
commodities. The position limits established by the CFTC apply to grains,
soybeans, cotton, eggs
 
                                       87
<PAGE>   94
 
and potatoes. U.S. exchanges have established speculative position limits for
all commodity contracts for which no such limits have been established. The CFTC
has adopted a statement of policy with respect to the treatment of positions
held by a commodity pool, such as the Partnership, under its rules relating to
the aggregation of futures positions for purposes of determining compliance with
speculative position limits. In connection therewith, futures positions of the
Partnership are allocated only to the person or entity controlling trading
decisions for the Partnership and not to the limited partners. Currently, all of
the positions held by all accounts owned or controlled directly or indirectly by
the Advisor and its principals will be aggregated with the Partnership's
positions. Depending upon the total amount of funds being managed in both the
Partnership's account and other accounts controlled directly or indirectly by
the Advisor, such position limits may affect the ability of the Advisor to
establish particular positions in certain commodities for the Partnership or may
require the liquidation of positions.
 
     In addition, pursuant to authority in the CEA, the NFA has been formed and
registered with the CFTC as a self-regulatory body in order to relieve the CFTC
of the burden of direct regulation of commodity professionals. The NFA is
required to establish and enforce for its members training standards and
proficiency tests, minimum financial requirements and standards of fair
practice. Pursuant to permission granted in the CEA, the CFTC has delegated some
of its registration functions to the NFA. The Advisor, the General Partner and
SB are each members of the NFA.
 
     The above-described regulatory structure may be modified by rules and
regulations promulgated by the CFTC or by legislative changes enacted by the
Congress. Furthermore, the fact of CFTC registration of the General Partner and
SB does not imply that the CFTC has passed upon or approved this offering or
their qualifications to act as described in this Prospectus.
 
MARGINS
 
     Commodity futures contracts are customarily bought and sold on margins
which range upward from as little as less than one percent of the purchase price
of the contract being traded. Because of these low margins, price fluctuations
occurring in commodity futures markets may create profits and losses which are
greater than are customary in other forms of investment or speculation. Margin
is the minimum amount of funds which must be deposited by the commodity futures
trader with his commodity broker in order to initiate futures trading or to
maintain his open positions in futures contracts. A margin deposit is not a
partial payment, as it is in connection with the trading of securities, but is
like a cash performance bond; it helps assure the trader's performance of the
commodity futures contract. Since the margin deposit is not a partial payment of
the purchase price, the trader does not pay interest to his broker on a
remaining balance. The minimum amount of margin required in regard to a
particular futures contract is set from time to time by the exchange upon which
such commodity futures contract is traded and may be modified from time to time
by the exchange during the term of the contract. Brokerage firms carrying
accounts for traders in commodity futures contracts may increase the amount of
margin required as a matter of policy in order to afford further protection for
themselves. SB intends to require the Partnership to meet its standard customer
margin requirements, which are generally greater than exchange minimum levels.
 
     When the market value of a particular open commodity futures position
changes to a point where the margin on deposit does not satisfy the maintenance
margin requirements, a margin call will be made by the trader's broker. If the
margin call is not met within a reasonable time, the broker is required to close
out the trader's position. Margin requirements are computed each day by the
trader's commodity broker. With respect to the Partnership's trading, the
Partnership, and not the limited partners personally, will be subject to the
margin calls.
 
     SB will not require the Partnership to meet and maintain margin on its
forward contracts.

</TABLE>
 
                   NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
(1) PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION:
 
     Smith Barney Westport Futures Fund L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed
under the laws of the State of New York on March 21, 1997 and has not yet
commenced operations. The only transactions to date are the original capital
contributions of $1,000 by the General Partner, Smith Barney Futures Management
Inc. and $1,000 by the Initial Limited Partner. The General Partner has agreed
to make capital contributions so that its General Partnership interest will be
the greater of (i) 1% of the partners' contributions to the Partnership or (ii)
$25,000. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that 20,000 units of limited
partnership interest ("Units") must be sold at $1,000 per Unit prior to
commencement of trading activities. All subscriptions plus interest earned
thereon are to be refunded should less than 20,000 Units be sold during the
subscription period or extension thereof. The minimum subscription is $5,000
except that subscriptions for employee benefit plans can be made for a minimum
of $2,000. The Partnership is authorized to sell 120,000 Units.
 
     The General Partner is an affiliate of Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), the
Partnership's commodity broker (see Note 3b). The General Partner and each
limited partner will 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 of the following to
occur: December 31, 2017; the net asset value of a Unit decreases to less than
$400 as of the close of any business day; or under certain circumstances as
defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
 
(2) ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     (a) All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments) will be used for trading purposes. The
commodity interests will be recorded on trade date and open contracts will be
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 period. Investments in commodity interests
denominated in foreign currency will be translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the period. Realized gain
(loss) and changes in unrealized values on commodity interests will be
recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur
and will be included in net gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests.
 
     (b) Income taxes will not be 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.
 
                                       90
<PAGE>   97
 
(3) AGREEMENTS:
 
     a. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT:
 
          All trading decisions will be made for the Partnership by John W.
     Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH") (the "Advisor"), a registered commodity
     trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or
     SB and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the
     Partnership. The Partnership will pay the Advisor a monthly management fee
     equal to 1/3 of 1% (4% per year) of Net Assets allocated to the Advisor as
     of the end of each month. In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay
     the Advisor 15% of the New Trading Profits of the Partnership as defined in
     the Management Agreement. For purposes of calculating JWH's incentive fee,
     Net Assets shall equal the assets of the Partnership reduced only by
     expenses equal to 5.25% (at an annual rate) of the Partnership's month-end
     assets.
 
     b. CUSTOMER AGREEMENT:
 
          The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement which provides
     that the Partnership will pay SB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 13/24 of
     1% (6.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets, as defined, allocated to
     trading in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. The
     Partnership will pay for National Futures Association ("NFA") fees,
     exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees. SB will pay a
     portion of such brokerage fees to its financial consultants who have sold
     Units. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership,
     although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. SB has agreed
     to pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity
     maintained in cash in the Partnership's account at SB during each month at
     a 30-day Treasury bill rate determined weekly by SB based on the average
     non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days
     (or on the maturity date closest thereto) from the date on which such
     weekly rate is determined during each month. Interest payments to the
     Partnership will begin after the amount of interest accrued equals the
     total amount of offering and organization expenses plus interest at the
     prime rate (see Note 5). The Customer Agreement provides that SB and the
     Partnership have the right to offset any unrealized gains and losses on the
     Partnership's open positions and to net any open orders for the purchase or
     sale of any property of the Partnership. The Customer Agreement may be
     terminated upon notice by either party.
 
(4) DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS:
 
     Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of
the General Partner and at such times as the General Partner may decide.
Beginning with the end of the sixth full month ending after trading commences, a
limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem his Units at their
Redemption Net Asset Value as of the last day of each month on 10 days' notice
to the General Partner. No fee will be charged for redemptions. Redemption Net
Asset Value differs from Net Asset Value calculated for financial reporting
purposes in that the accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and
organization expenses will not be included in the calculation of Redemption Net
Asset Value.
 
(5) ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING EXPENSES:
 
     SB will initially bear the Partnership's organization and offering expenses
(estimated at $710,000) incurred in connection with the issuance and
distribution during the Initial Offering Period of the securities being
registered. SB will be reimbursed the offering and organization expenses
(together with interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank)
from retention of interest earned on the Partnership's cash in segregated bank
accounts. Interest income will accrue to the Partnership as earned and once all
such offering and organization expenses equal to $710,000 have been reimbursed
to SB, the Partnership will realize all subsequent interest income in cash
credited to its account.

<PAGE>   98
 
(6) TRADING ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
 
     The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a
variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments. All of the commodity interests owned by the
Partnership will be held for trading purposes; however, the Partnership has not
yet commenced operations and currently owns no commodity interests.
 
     The Partnership may be 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. The Partnership
expects that its sole counterparty with respect to OTC contracts will be SB.
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 will have concentration risk because the sole
broker with respect to the Partnership's assets will be SB.
 
     The General Partner will monitor and control 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
will be subject.

           (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, 1996, the Company is the general
partner for 19 limited partnerships (the "limited partnerships") with total
assets of $599,037,448, total liabilities of $31,639,427 and total partners'
capital of $567,398,021. 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 the Limited Partnership Agreement) with respect to the limited 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.
 
     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.
 
     The carrying value of financial instruments in the statement of financial
condition approximate their fair values as they are either short term in nature
or interest bearing at floating rates.
 
     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 limited 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 or (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 limited partnerships
to less than such required level, as defined in each limited 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 limited
partnership), at an amount not less than 10% of the total contributions to the
limited 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 may maintain its net worth requirement.
This requirement was met at December 31, 1996.
 
     Receivable from limited partnerships includes deferred offering costs which
represent payments made by the Company on behalf of certain limited partnerships
during their original offering, such as legal fees, printing costs, etc. These
costs are deferred until the limited partnerships commence operations and then
are reimbursed over a period varying from eighteen to twenty-four months or as
interest income is earned by the limited partnership in accordance with the
limited partnership's prospectus. The unreimbursed organizational and offering
costs at December 31, 1996 were approximately $736,660. Repayment of these costs
is not contingent upon the operating results of the limited partnerships. In
addition, as general partner, the Company

earns monthly management fees and commissions from certain limited partnerships
as defined by the limited partnership agreements.
 
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.
 
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.
 
7. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
 
     During the year the Company declared dividends of $7,350,000 and
distributed $6,150,000 on its outstanding common stock. Other than net income
there were no other changes to equity.
 
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On March 27, 1997, the Company declared a dividend in the amount of
$1,500,000 payable to SBHI.

                                    GLOSSARY
 
     The following glossary may assist the prospective investor in understanding
the terms used in this Prospectus. It should be noted preliminarily that
commodity futures contracts are contracts made on or through a commodity
exchange, and generally provide for future delivery of agricultural and
industrial commodities, foreign currencies and financial instruments. Such
contracts are uniform for each commodity and vary only with respect to price and
delivery time. A commodity futures contract to accept delivery (buy) is referred
to as a "long" contract; conversely a contract to make delivery (sell) is
referred to as a "short" contract. Until a commodity futures contract is
satisfied by delivery or offset it is said to be an "open" position. Other terms
used herein include the following:
 
          Advisor.  Any person who for any consideration engages in the business
     of advising others, either directly or indirectly, as to the value,
     purchase, or sale of commodity contracts or commodity options.
 
          Affiliate.  An affiliate of a person means (a) any person directly or
     indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to vote 10% or more of
     the outstanding voting securities of such person; (b) any person 10% or
     more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly
     owned, controlled or held with power to vote, by such person; (c) any
     person, directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common
     control of such person; (d) any officer, director or partner of such
     person; or (e) if such person is an officer, director or partner, any
     person for which such person acts in such capacity.
 
          Churning.  Engaging in excessive trading with respect to a commodity
     account for the purpose of generating brokerage commissions.
 
          Commission.  The fee charged by a broker for executing a trade in a
     commodity account of a customer. SB charges most customers, but not the
     Partnership, commissions per futures contract on a "round-turn" basis,
     i.e., only upon the closing of an open position.
 
          Commodity.  The term commodity refers to goods, wares, merchandise,
     produce and in general everything that is bought and sold in commerce,
     including financial instruments. Out of this large class, certain
     commodities have been selected as appropriate vehicles for trading on
     various national and international exchanges located in principal marketing
     and commercial areas. Among the commodities currently traded are wheat,
     corn, oats, hogs, poultry, potatoes, sugar, cotton, lumber, copper, silver,
     gold, GNMAs, T-Bills, stock indices, British pounds sterling and Japanese
     yen.
 
          Commodity Broker.  Any person who engages in the business of effecting
     transactions in commodity contracts for the account of others or for his
     own account.
 
          Commodity Contract.  A contract or option thereon providing for the
     delivery or receipt at a future date of a specified amount and grade of a
     traded commodity at a specified price and delivery point.
 
          Daily price fluctuation limit.  The maximum permitted fluctuation
     (imposed by an exchange and approved by the CFTC) in the price of a futures
     contract for a given commodity that can occur on an exchange on a given day
     in relation to the previous day's settlement price. Such maximum permitted
     fluctuation is subject to change from time to time by the exchange.
 
          Delivery.  The process of satisfying a commodity futures contract by
     transferring ownership of a specified quantity and grade of a cash
     commodity to the purchaser thereof. Certain financial instrument futures
     contracts are not settled by delivery of the financial instrument, but
     rather are settled in cash.
 
          Forward contract.  A contract relating to the purchase and sale of a
     physical commodity for delivery at a future date. It is distinguished from
     a futures contract in that it is not traded on an exchange and it contains
     terms and conditions specifically negotiated by the parties.
 
          Limit order.  An order to execute a trade at a specified price or
     better. As contrasted with a stop order, a limit order does not become a
     market order when the limit price is reached.
 
          Margin.  Good faith deposits with a broker to assure fulfillment of a
     purchase or sale of a commodity futures contract. Commodity margins do not
     involve the payment of interest.
 
                                       98
<PAGE>   105
 
          Margin call.  A demand for additional funds after the initial good
     faith deposit required to maintain a customer's account in compliance with
     the requirements of a particular commodity exchange or a commodity broker.
 
          Market order.  An order to execute a trade at the prevailing price as
     soon as possible.
 
          Net Assets.  The total assets of the Partnership including all cash,
     plus Treasury securities at 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,
     determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     under the accrual basis of accounting. Net Assets equal Net Asset Value.
 
          Net Asset Value of a Unit.  Net Assets divided by the aggregate number
     of Units of limited and general partnership interest outstanding. The
     accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and organizational expenses
     of the Initial Offering Period will not reduce Net Asset Value of a Unit
     for any purpose (other than financial reporting), including calculation of
     management and brokerage fees and the purchase and redemption value of
     Units.
 
          Net Worth.  The excess of total assets over total liabilities as
     determined by generally accepted accounting principles. Net Worth shall be
     determined exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles.
 
          New Trading Profits.  The excess, if any, of Net Assets at the end of
     the period over Net Assets at the end of the highest previous period or Net
     Assets 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 period decreased by interest or other income, not directly
     related to trading activity, earned on Partnership assets during the
     period, whether the assets are held separately or in margin accounts. For
     purposes of calculating JWH's incentive fee, Net Assets shall equal the
     assets of the Partnership reduced by expenses equal to 5.25% (at an annual
     rate) of the Partnership's month-end assets. This will have the same effect
     as increasing the incentive fee to approximately 16% of New Trading
     Profits.
 
          Notional Funds.  Funds not actually held in a client's account but
     that have been committed by a client to the trading activity of a commodity
     trading advisor.
 
          Option.  A contract giving the purchaser the right, as opposed to the
     obligation, to acquire or to dispose of the commodity or commodity futures
     contract underlying the option.
 
          Organizational and Offering Expenses.  All expenses incurred by the
     Partnership in connection with and in preparing the Partnership for
     registration and subsequently offering and distributing it to the public,
     including, but not limited to, total underwriting and brokerage discounts
     and commissions (including fees of the underwriter's attorneys), expenses
     for printing, engraving, mailing, salaries of employees while engaged in
     sales activity, charges of transfer agents, registrars, trustees, escrow
     holders, depositories, experts, expenses of qualification of the sale of

        PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS

                                NOTES TO TABLE C
    
 
   
     The compound annual Hypothetical Compound Annual Rate of Return for each
year is calculated by applying on a compound basis each of the Hypothetical
Composite Weighted Average Pro Forma Rates of Return for such month, not by
adding or averaging such monthly rates of return.
    
 
   
     The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record was prepared by the
General Partner and is a result of (a) making certain pro forma adjustments to
the historical performance records of the four programs to be used for the
Partnership in an attempt to approximate the brokerage fees, management fees,
incentive fees, other expenses, and interest income calculated in accordance
with the fee and income structure of the Partnership as opposed to the
corresponding fees, expenses or income actually charged or earned in the
historical performance records (for purposes of the calculation of Partnership
interest income, historical 30-day Treasury bill rates of the time period
presented on Tables B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4 were used. Such rates are higher than
current 30-day Treasury bill rates that will be used to calculate Partnership
interest income. The application of historical rates may compare more closely to
the Advisor's interest income which was most likely earned at the prevailing
interest rates of a particular time period.), (b) assuming the initial
allocation of Partnership assets is made: 35% to the Original Investment
Program; 25% each to the Financial and Metals Portfolio and the Global Financial
Portfolio; and 15% to the Global Diversified Portfolio, (c) calculating a
combined weighted average pro forma rate of return; and (d) applying on a
compound basis each of the monthly Hypothetical Composite Weighted Average Pro
Forma Rates of Return to an assumed hypothetical investment of $1,000 made at
the beginning of the period. For example, JWH's initial allotment of $350 to the
Original Investment Program was multiplied by its Pro Forma Monthly Rate of
Return from Table B-1. In June 1994, JWH's Pro Forma Monthly ROR was 7.09% which
results in a increase of $25 for the first month of trading and a corresponding
increase to its trading allotment to $375. Next, this process was repeated for
each program or portfolio traded by the Advisor for the Partnership, then added
to reach a net asset value as of the end of the month of $1,072, an increase of
7.19% over the initial $1,000. Finally, these computations were repeated each
month, beginning with last month's assets allocated to each program or portfolio
plus trading profits or losses.
    
 
   
     The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record does not reflect how
the Partnership may operate, but is based instead upon estimates and assumptions
considered by the General Partner to be reasonable. Prospective investors must
note, however, that there are other methods by which the Hypothetical Composite
Adjusted Performance Record could have reasonably been calculated. Such
alternative methods may have produced different composite performance results.
    
 
   
     Irrespective of the limitations of the pro forma adjustments that have been
made to the Advisor's historical records, any composite of different trading
approaches that have never, in fact, traded an account together is necessarily
artificial and hypothetical in some respects. Such hypothetical presentations
are also subject to the fact that they can be designed with the benefit of
hindsight.
    
 
   
     The hypothetical $1,000 unit column represents the net asset value of a
hypothetical unit as of the end of each month.
    
 
   
     The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record is based on pro
forma adjustments to actual trading results; it contains no simulated
performance. However, the table is nevertheless hypothetical in that no single
account has been managed by the Advisor utilizing all four programs in the same
proportions as the Partnerships' assets will be allocated. CFTC and NFA
regulations require that the following cautionary legend accompany all
hypothetical trading records: THIS COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS HYPOTHETICAL
AND THE ADVISOR'S TRADING PROGRAMS HAVE NOT BEEN TRADED TOGETHER IN THE MANNER
SHOWN IN THE COMPOSITE. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT
LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE
THAT ANY MULTI-PROGRAM MANAGED ACCOUNT OR POOL WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE A
COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE
FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD
AND THE ACTUAL RECORD SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED.
    
 
                                       102
<PAGE>   109
 
   
     ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS
THAT DECISIONS RELATING TO THE SELECTION OF TRADING PROGRAMS AND THE ALLOCATION
OF ASSETS AMONG THOSE TRADING PROGRAMS WERE MADE WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT
BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL RATES OF RETURN OF THE SELECTED TRADING PROGRAMS.
THEREFORE, COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORDS INVARIABLY SHOW POSITIVE RATES OF
RETURN. ANOTHER INHERENT LIMITATION ON THESE RESULTS IS THAT THE ALLOCATION
DECISIONS REFLECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE RECORD WERE NOT MADE UNDER ACTUAL MARKET
CONDITIONS AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL
RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD MAY BE
DISTORTED BECAUSE THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETS CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME AND THESE
ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COMPOSITE.
    
 
   
     The above table must be read in conjunction with the description of the
manner in which the Pro Forma Rates of Return for each program were calculated
set forth under "The Advisor -- Notes to Tables B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4." The
Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record has been calculated on the
basis of Pro Forma Monthly ROR figures only and Rate of Return may not be an
accurate indication of actual performance due to the effect of additions and
withdrawals and other factors. Investors should be careful to consider the
monthly rates of return and volatility before determining whether to invest. In
any event, past results are no guarantee of future performance and no
representation is made that the Partnership is likely to achieve profits similar
to those shown in the Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record.
    
 
   
     Although the General Partner believes that the Hypothetical Composite
Adjusted Performance Record provides information pertinent to evaluating the
desirability of investing in the Partnership, prospective investors must
carefully consider the manner in which (a) the individual program's Pro Forma
Monthly RORs have been calculated and (b) weighted averages of these Pro Forma
Monthly RORs have been derived for purposes of producing the Hypothetical
Composite Adjusted Performance Record in assessing the importance of either of
the above Tables to such investor's decision whether to purchase Units.

     This Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of March 21, 1997, by and
between Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., 390 Greenwich Street, New York,
New York 10013 (the "General Partner"), and David J. Vogel (the "Initial Limited
Partner") and those other parties who shall execute this Agreement, whether in
counterpart or by attorney-in-fact, as limited partners (the Initial Limited
Partner and such other parties are collectively, the "Limited Partners") (the
General Partner and Limited Partners may be collectively referred to herein as
"Partners"),
 
                             W I T N E S S E T H :
 
     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to form and continue a limited
partnership for the purpose of trading in commodity interests including futures
contracts, options and forward contracts;
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1. FORMATION AND NAME.
 
     The parties hereto hereby form a limited partnership under the New York
Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The name of the limited partnership is Smith
Barney Westport Futures Fund L.P. (the "Partnership"). The General Partner shall
execute and file a Certificate of Limited Partnership in accordance with the
provisions of the New York Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and execute,
file, record and publish, as appropriate, such amendments, restatements and
other documents as are or become necessary or advisable, as determined by the
General Partner.
 
2. PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
 
     The principal office of the Partnership shall be 390 Greenwich Street, New
York, New York 10013 or such other place as shall be designated by the General
Partner.
 
3. BUSINESS.
 
     (a) The Partnership business and purpose is to trade, buy, sell or
otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of interests in commodities of all
descriptions, including futures contracts, commodity options, forward contracts
and any other rights or interests pertaining thereto including interests in
commodity pools.
 
     (b) The objective of the Partnership business is appreciation of its assets
through speculative diversified trading. The Partnership shall not:
 
          (1) engage in the pyramiding of its positions by using unrealized
     profit on existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of
     additional positions in the same or related commodities;
 
          (2) utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership
     takes delivery of cash commodities, provided that neither the deposit of
     margin with a commodity broker nor obtaining and drawing on a line of
     credit with respect to forward contracts shall constitute borrowing; or
 
          (3) permit the churning of its account.
 
4. TERM, DISSOLUTION AND FISCAL YEAR.
 
     (a) Term.  The term of the Partnership shall commence on the date the
Certificate of Limited Partnership is filed in the office of the Secretary of
State of the State of New York, and shall end upon the first to occur of the
following: (1) December 31, 2017; (2) receipt by the General Partner of an
election to dissolve the Partnership at a specified time by Limited Partners
owning more than 50% of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest then
outstanding, notice of which is sent by registered mail to the General Partner
not less
 
                                       A-1
<PAGE>   114
 
than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; (3) assignment by
the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership, withdrawal,
removal, bankruptcy, or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease
to be a general partner under the Partnership Act (unless the Partnership is
continued pursuant to Paragraph 17); (4) any event which shall make it unlawful
for the existence of the Partnership to be continued; or (5) if Net Asset Value
falls below $400 as of the end of any business day after trading.
 
     (b) Dissolution.  Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the assets of
the Partnership shall be distributed to creditors, including any Partners who
may be creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of
liabilities of the Partnership (whether by payment or the making of reasonable
provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for which reasonable
provision for payment has been made and liabilities for distributions to
Partners; to Partners and former Partners in satisfaction of liabilities for
distributions; and to Partners first for the return of their contributions and
second respecting their partnership interests, in the proportions in which the
Partners share in distributions. Following distribution of the assets of the
Partnership, a Certificate of Cancellation for the Partnership shall be filed as
required by the Partnership Act.
 
     (c) Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Partnership will commence on
January 1 and end on December 31 each year ("fiscal year"). Each fiscal year of
the Partnership is divided into four fiscal quarters commencing on the first day
of January, April, July and October ("fiscal quarter").
 
5. NET WORTH OF GENERAL PARTNER.
 
     The General Partner agrees that at all times after the termination of the
initial offering period of the Partnership's Units of Limited Partnership
Interest described in Paragraph 11 hereof (the "Public Offering"), so long as it
remains the General Partner of the Partnership, it will maintain a Net Worth (as
defined below) equal to the greater of (a) 5% of the total contributions
(including contributions by the General Partner) to all limited partnerships to
which it is a general partner (including the Partnership) plus (prior to the
termination of the Public Offering) 5% of the Units being offered for sale in
the Partnership or (b) $50,000. In no event will the General Partner be required
to maintain a net worth in excess of the greater of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) the
amount which the General Partner is advised by counsel as necessary or advisable
to ensure that the Partnership is taxed as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes.
 
     For the purposes of this Paragraph 5, Net Worth shall be based upon current
fair market value of the assets of the General Partner. The requirements of this
Paragraph 5 may be modified if the General Partner obtains an opinion of counsel
for the Partnership that a proposed modification will not adversely affect the
classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes and will not violate any state securities or blue sky laws to which the
Partnership may be subject from time to time.
 
6. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND UNITS OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST.
 
     The General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership, immediately prior
to the time the Partnership commences trading activities and as necessary
thereafter, an amount which shall at least equal the greater of (a) 1% of
capital contributions or (b) $25,000. The General Partner's contribution shall
be evidenced by "Units of General Partnership Interest." The General Partner may
not make any transfer or withdrawal of its contribution to the Partnership while
it is General Partner which would reduce its percentage interest in the
Partnership to less than such required interest in the Partnership. Any
withdrawal of any such excess interest by the General Partner may be made only
upon not less than 30 days' notice to the Limited Partners prior to the end of a
fiscal quarter.
 
     Interests in the Partnership, other than those of the General Partner,
shall be evidenced by "Units of Limited Partnership Interest" which the General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall, in accordance with the Prospectus
included in the Registration Statement referred to in Paragraph 11, sell to
persons desiring to become Limited Partners. For each Unit of Limited
Partnership Interest purchased prior to the commencement of trading operations,
a Limited Partner shall contribute $1,000 to the capital of the Partnership. For
any Unit (or partial unit rounded to four decimal places) of Limited Partnership
Interest purchased thereafter, a Limited Partner shall contribute to the capital
of the Partnership an amount equal to
 
                                       A-2
<PAGE>   115
 
the Net Asset Value of a Unit (or partial unit, as the case may be) of Limited
Partnership Interest as of the close of business on the day preceding the
effective date of such purchase, and shall pay in addition any selling
commission which must be paid with respect to such purchase. For purposes of
such purchases, any accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and
organizational expenses will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit. The aggregate
of all contributions shall be available to the Partnership to carry on its
business, and no interest shall be paid on any such contribution. The General
Partner may, in its discretion, split the Units at any time, provided that any
such action will not adversely affect the capital account of any limited
partner. All subscriptions for Units of Limited Partnership Interest made
pursuant to the Public Offering of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest
must be on the form provided in the Prospectus.
 
     The proceeds from the sale of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest
pursuant to the Public Offering shall be placed in an escrow account and shall
not be contributed to the capital of the Partnership prior to the termination of
the Initial Offering Period (as defined in the Prospectus). If subscriptions for
at least 20,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest shall not have been
received and accepted by the General Partner when the Initial Offering Period is
terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, the full amount of all subscriptions
shall be promptly returned to the subscribers, and the Certificate of Limited
Partnership shall be cancelled. If subscriptions for at least 20,000 Units of
Limited Partnership Interest shall have been received and accepted by the
General Partner prior to the termination of the Initial Offering Period, the
proceeds thereof shall be contributed to the capital of the Partnership and the
Partnership shall thereafter commence trading operations. All subscribers shall
receive the interest earned on their subscriptions while held in escrow. All
subscribers who have been accepted by the General Partner shall be deemed
admitted as Limited Partners at the time they are reflected as such on the books
and records of the Partnership.
 
7. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.
 
     (a) Capital Accounts.  A capital account shall be established for each
Partner. The initial balance of each Partner's capital account shall be the
amount of his initial capital contribution to the Partnership.
 
     (b) Allocations.  As of the close of business on the last day of each month
during each fiscal year of the Partnership, the following determinations and
allocations shall be made:
 
          (1) The Net Assets of the Partnership (as defined in Paragraph
     7(d)(1)) before any management and incentive fees payable by the
     Partnership as of such date shall be determined.
 
          (2) Monthly management fees, if any, payable by the Partnership as of
     such date shall then be charged against Net Assets. Brokerage fees payable
     to SB pursuant to Paragraph 7(i) shall be charged pro rata to the capital
     accounts of the Units.
 
          (3) Incentive fees, if any, shall then be charged against Net Assets.
 
          (4) Any increase or decrease in Net Assets as of the end of the month
     (after the adjustments in subparagraphs (2) and (3) above) shall then be
     credited or charged to the capital accounts of each Partner in the ratio
     that the balance of each account bears to the balance of all accounts.
 
          (5) The amount of any distribution to a Partner, any amount paid to a
     Limited Partner on redemption of Units of Limited Partnership Interest, and
     any amount paid to the General Partner on redemption of Units of General
     Partnership Interest, shall be charged to that Partner's capital account.
 
     (c) Allocation of Profit and Loss for Federal Income Tax Purposes.  The
Partnership's realized capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss shall be
allocated among the Partners in the ratio that each Partner's capital account
bears to all Partners' capital accounts. Any Partner who redeems Units of
Limited or General Partnership Interest during any fiscal year will be allocated
his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss
realized by the Partnership during the period that such Units of Limited or
General Partnership Interest were owned by such Partner, based on the ratio that
the capital accounts allocable to such acquired or redeemed Units of Limited or
General Partnership Interest bear to the capital accounts allocable to all
Partners' Units of Limited or General Partnership Interest for such period. Any
Partner who transfers or assigns Units of Limited or General Partnership
Interest during any fiscal year shall be allocated his proportionate share of
the capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss realized by the
 
                                       A-3
<PAGE>   116
 
Partnership through the end of the fiscal quarter in which notice of such
transfer or assignment is given to the General Partner in accordance with
Paragraph 10(b) hereof, and the transferee or assignee of such Units shall be
allocated his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and ordinary
income or loss realized by the Partnership commencing with the fiscal quarter
next succeeding the quarter in which notice of transfer or assignment is given.
The method of allocating gains and losses for tax purposes may be changed by the
General Partner upon receipt of advice from counsel to the Partnership that such
change is required by applicable law or regulations.
 
     (d) Definitions:
 
          (1) Net Assets.  Net Assets of the Partnership shall mean the total
     assets of the Partnership including all cash, plus Treasury Bills at
     market, 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, determined in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles under the accrual basis of
     accounting.
 
          (2) Net Asset Value per Unit.  The Net Asset Value of each Unit of
     Limited Partnership Interest and each Unit of General Partnership Interest
     shall be determined by dividing the Net Assets of the Partnership by the
     aggregate number of Units of Limited and General Partnership Interest
     outstanding.
 
          (3) Capital Contributions.  Capital contributions shall mean the total
     investment in the Partnership by a Partner or by all Partners, as the case
     may be.
 
          (4) New Trading Profits.  The excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by
     the Advisor at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets managed by the
     Advisor at the end of the highest previous fiscal period 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 made during the fiscal period decreased by
     interest or other income, not directly related to trading activity, earned
     on the Partnership's assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets
     are held separately or in margin accounts.
 
          (5) Organizational and Offering Expenses.  Organizational and offering
     expenses shall mean all expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection
     with and in preparing for registration and subsequent offering and
     distributing it to the public, including but not limited to, total
     underwriting and brokerage discounts and commissions (including fees of the
     underwriter's attorneys), expenses for printing, engraving, mailing,
     salaries of employees while engaged in sales activities, charges of
     transfer agents, registrars, trustees, escrow holders, depositories,
     experts, expenses of qualification of the sale of its Units of Limited
     Partnership Interest under federal and state law, including taxes and fees,

     Partnership are determined.
 
          (7) Valuation Period.  A regular period of time between Valuation

     the delivery or receipt at a future date of a specified amount and grade of
     a traded commodity at a specified price and delivery point.
 
          (10) Pyramiding.  A method of using all or a part of an unrealized
     profit in a commodity contract position to provide margin for any
     additional commodity contracts of the same or related commodities.
 
          (11) Sponsor.  Any person directly or indirectly instrumental in
     organizing the Partnership or any person who will manage or participate in
     the management of the Partnership, including a commodity broker who pays
     any portion of the organizational expenses of the Partnership, the General
     Partner and any other person who regularly performs or selects the persons
     who perform services for the Partnership. Sponsor does not include wholly
     independent third parties such as attorneys, accountants and underwrit-
 
                                       A-4
<PAGE>   117
 
     ers whose only compensation is for professional services rendered in
     connection with the offering of the Units. The term "Sponsor" shall be
     deemed to include its Affiliates.
 
     (e) Expenses and Limitation Thereof.  Subject to the limitations set forth
below in this Paragraph 7(e), the Partnership shall bear all commodity brokerage
fees and shall be obligated to pay all liabilities incurred by it, including,
without limitation, all expenses incurred in connection with its trading
activities, and any management and incentive fees. The General Partner shall
bear all other operating expenses except legal, accounting, filing, data
processing and reporting fees and extraordinary expenses. Appropriate reserves
may be created, accrued and charged against Net Assets for contingent
liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known
to the General Partner. The aggregate annual expenses of every character paid or
incurred by the Partnership, including management fees, advisory fees and all
other fees, except for incentive fees, commodity brokerage commissions, the
actual cost of legal and audit services and extraordinary expenses, when added
to the customary and routine administrative expenses of the Partnership, shall
in no event exceed, on an annual basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets per month. For
the purpose of this limitation, customary and routine administrative expenses
shall include all expenses of the Partnership other than commodity brokerage
commissions, incentive fees, the actual cost of legal and audit services and
extraordinary expenses. All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly
to and paid by the Partnership. If necessary, the General Partner will reimburse
the Partnership, no less frequently than quarterly, for the amount by which
aggregate fees and expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets
per month. Reimbursements to the General Partner or its affiliates shall not be
allowed, except for reimbursement of actual cost of legal and audit services
used for or by the Partnership and charges incidental to trading. Expenses
incurred by the General Partner in connection with administration of the
Partnership including but not limited to salaries, rent, travel expenses and
such other items generally falling under the category of overhead, shall not be
charged to the Partnership. In no event will organizational and offering
expenses exceed 15% of the Partners' initial capital contributions. For this
purpose, organizational and offering expenses include interest on loans from SB
to the Partnership for payment of organizational and offering expenses, if any.
 
     (f) Limited Liability of Limited Partners:
 
          (1) Each Unit of Limited Partnership Interest, when purchased by a
     Limited Partner, subject to the qualifications set forth below, shall be
     fully paid and non-assessable.
 
          (2) A Limited Partner will have no liability in excess of his
     obligation to make contributions to the capital of the Partnership and his
     share of the Partnership's assets and undistributed profits, subject to the
     qualifications provided in New York law.
 
     (g) Return of Limited Partner's Capital Contribution.  Except to the extent
that a Limited Partner shall have the right to withdraw capital through
redemption of Units of Limited Partnership Interest or shall be entitled to
distributions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Limited Partner
shall have any right to demand the return of his capital contribution or any
profits added thereto, except upon dissolution of the Partnership. In no event
shall a Limited Partner be entitled to demand and receive property other than
cash.
 
     (h) Distributions.  The General Partner shall have sole discretion in
determining what distributions (other than on redemption of Units of Limited
Partnership Interest), if any, the Partnership will make to its Partners.
Distributions shall be pro rata in accordance with the respective capital
accounts of the Partners.
 
8. MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
 
     Except as hereinafter provided, the General Partner, to the exclusion of
all Limited Partners, shall conduct, manage and control the business of the
Partnership including, without limitation, the investment of the funds of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall have fiduciary responsibility for the
safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Partnership. The Partnership
shall not permit the limited partners to contract away the fiduciary obligation
owed to the limited partners by the General Partner under common law. Except as
provided herein, no Partner shall be entitled to any salary, draw or other
compensation from the Partnership. Each Limited Partner hereby undertakes to
advise the General Partner of such additional
 
                                       A-5
<PAGE>   118
 
information as may be deemed by the General Partner to be required or
appropriate to open and maintain an account or accounts with commodity brokerage
firms for the purpose of trading in commodity contracts.
 
     The General Partner may delegate its responsibility, in whole or in part,
for the investment of the Partnership's assets to one or more qualified trading
advisors and may delegate trading discretion to such persons. If the General
Partner decides to direct trading for the Partnership itself, the General
Partner may nonetheless render advisory services to other clients or accounts
and may use the same trading strategies which are utilized in managing the
Partnership's investments. However, the General Partner agrees and represents
that any such other services will not affect its capacity to continue to render
services to the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by this
Agreement. If the General Partner determines to delegate its responsibility for
trading decisions to one or more trading advisors, it may negotiate and enter
into one or more management agreements with the advisor(s) on behalf of the
Partnership, including a management agreement under which the General Partner is
one of the advisors. Any such agreement could obligate the Partnership to pay
management and incentive fees to the advisors in amounts determined by the
General Partner acting in the best interests of the Partnership; provided,
however, that such fees will in no event exceed those permitted under NASAA
Guidelines for the Registration of Commodity Pools (the "Guidelines") and that
neither the General Partner nor any affiliate of the General Partner shall
receive an incentive fee in excess of 15% of New Trading Profits or a management
fee if it or any of its affiliates receives any portion of the brokerage
commissions paid by the Partnership. Specifically, except to the extent
permitted by future changes to the Guidelines, incentive fees paid by the
Partnership to an Advisor shall never exceed 15%, increased by an additional 2%
for each 1% by which the Partnership's aggregate annual expenses are reduced
below 6% annually, of New Trading Profits, calculated not more often than
quarterly on the Valuation Date, over the highest previous Valuation Date.
 
     The General Partner shall monitor the trading and performance of any
trading advisor for the Partnership and shall not permit the "churning" of the
Partnership's account. The General Partner shall calculate the Net Assets of the
Partnership daily and shall make available, upon the request of a Limited
Partner, the Net Asset Value of a Unit of Limited Partnership Interest. The
Partnership shall seek the best price and services available in its commodity
futures brokerage transactions. The Partnership may not enter into an exclusive
brokerage contract. The General Partner is authorized to enter into the Customer
Agreement with Smith Barney Inc. ("SB") described in the Prospectus and to cause
the Partnership to pay SB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 13/24 of 1% of
month-end Net Assets (6.5% per year) (exclusive of fees incurred in connection
with trading including exchange, clearing, floor brokerage, give-up and NFA
fees) and to negotiate Customer Agreements in the future on these or other
terms. Any interest or other income derived from any portion of the
Partnership's assets whether held in the Partnership's margin account or
otherwise shall accrue solely to the benefit of the Partnership except as
otherwise provided in the Guidelines. Neither the General Partner nor any
affiliate of the General Partner shall directly or indirectly pay or award any
commissions or other compensation to any person engaged to sell Units of Limited
Partnership Interests or to give investment advice to a potential Limited
Partner, provided, however, that neither the General Partner nor any affiliate
of the General Partner is prohibited from paying to a registered broker-dealer
or other properly licensed person a normal sales commission, including trail
commissions, for selling Units of Limited Partnership Interests. The General
Partner may take such other actions as it deems necessary or desirable to manage
the business of the Partnership including, but not limited to, the following:
opening bank accounts with state or national banks; paying, or authorizing the
payment of, distributions to the Partners and expenses of the Partnership, such
as management fees, brokerage commissions or fees, legal and accounting fees,
printing and reporting fees, and registration and other fees of governmental
agencies; and investing or directing the investment of funds of the Partnership
not being utilized as margin deposits. Only those goods and services enumerated
in the Limited Partnership Agreement will be those provided by the General
Partner to the Partnership. Except as provided in the Prospectus, the General
Partner shall not take any action with respect to the assets or property of the
Partnership which does not benefit the Partnership.
 
     The General Partner shall review, not less often than annually and to the
extent practicable, the brokerage rates charged to public commodity pools which
are comparable to the Partnership to determine that the brokerage fees being
paid by the Partnership are competitive with such other rates. The General
Partner
 
                                       A-6
<PAGE>   119
 
may in its discretion, acting in the best interests of the Partnership,
negotiate with SB to amend the Customer Agreement so that the Partnership is
charged brokerage commissions on a round-turn basis instead of the monthly fee
initially contemplated; provided that the commission rate agreed to is
comparable to rates charged to comparable public commodity pools and further
provided that such commissions, including pit brokerage fees will not exceed the
limitation set forth in the Guidelines.
 
     The General Partner shall maintain a list of the names and addresses of,
and interests owned by, all Partners, a copy of which shall be furnished to
Limited Partners upon request either in person or by mail and upon payment of
the cost of reproduction and mailing, and such other books and records relating
to the business of the Partnership at the principal office of the Partnership.
The General Partner shall retain such records for a period of not less than six
years. The Limited Partners shall be given reasonable access to the books and
records of the Partnership.
 
     The Partnership shall not enter into any contract with the General Partner
or any of its affiliates or with any trading advisor which has a term of more
than one year. The Partnership shall make no loans. Assets of the Partnership
will not be commingled with assets of any other entity. Deposit of assets with a
commodity broker or dealer shall not constitute commingling. Except as provided
herein, no person may receive, directly or indirectly, any Net Asset fee for
investment advice or management who shares or participates in any commodity
brokerage commissions or fees from transactions for the Partnership; no broker
(including the General Partner and its affiliates) may pay, directly or
indirectly, rebates or give ups to any trading advisor; and such prohibitions
shall not be circumvented by any reciprocal business arrangements. On loans made
available to the Partnership by the General Partner or any of its affiliates,
the lender may not receive interest in excess of its interest costs, nor may the
lender receive interest in excess of the amounts which would be charged the
Partnership (without reference to the lender's financial abilities or
guarantees) by unrelated banks on comparable loans for the same purpose and the
lender shall not receive points or other financing charges or fees regardless of
the amounts.
 
     Subject to Paragraph 5 hereof, the General Partner may engage in other
business activities and shall not be required to refrain from any other activity
nor disgorge any profits from any such activity, whether as general partner of
additional partnerships for investment in commodity futures contracts or
otherwise. The General Partner may engage and compensate (consistent with the
Guidelines) on behalf of the Partnership from funds of the Partnership, such
persons, firms or corporations, including any affiliated person or entity, as
the General Partner in its sole judgment shall deem advisable for the conduct
and operation of the business of the Partnership.
 
     No person dealing with the General Partner shall be required to determine
its authority to make any undertaking on behalf of the Partnership, nor to
determine any fact or circumstance bearing upon the existence of its authority.
 
9. AUDITS AND REPORTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS.
 
     The Partnership books and records shall be audited annually by independent
accountants. The Partnership will cause each Partner to receive (i) within 90
days after the close of each fiscal year, audited financial statements including
a balance sheet and statements of income and partners' equity for the fiscal
year then ended, and (ii) within 75 days after the close of each fiscal year,
such tax information as is necessary for him to complete his federal income tax
return. In addition, within 30 days of the end of each month the Partnership
will provide each Limited Partner with reports showing Net Assets and Net Asset
Value per Unit of Limited and General Partnership Interest as of the end of such
month, as well as information relating to the advisory and brokerage fees and
other expenses incurred by the Partnership during such month. Both annual and
monthly reports shall include such additional information as the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission may require under the Commodity Exchange Act to be
given to participants in commodity pools such as the Partnership. The General
Partner shall calculate the Net Asset Value per Unit of Limited and General
Partnership Interest daily and shall make such information available upon the
request of a Limited Partner for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited
Partner's interest as a limited partner in the Partnership. The General Partner
will submit to state securities law administrators any information which such
administrators
 
                                       A-7
<PAGE>   120
 
require to be filed, including, but not limited to, copies of the annual and
monthly reports to be provided to Limited Partners.
 
     In addition, if any of the following events occur, notice of such event
shall be mailed to each Limited Partner within seven business days of the
occurrence of the event: (i) a decrease in the Net Asset Value of a Unit of
Limited Partnership Interest to 50% or less of the Net Asset Value most recently
reported; (ii) a decrease in assets maintained in cash to 50% or less of the
amount most recently reported; (iii) any material change in contracts with
advisors including any change in advisors or any modification in connection with
the method of calculating the incentive fee; (iv) any change in commodity
brokers or any change to payment or brokerage commissions on a round turn basis;
(v) any change in the General Partner; or (vi) any material change in the
Partnership's trading policies or in any advisor's trading strategies; and (vii)
any other material change affecting the compensation of any party. Any notice
sent pursuant to this paragraph will include a description of the Limited
Partners' voting rights and/or redemption rights under this Agreement. In the
event of a change to payment of brokerage commissions on a round-turn basis,
each Limited Partner will be notified and permitted to redeem his Units prior to
the effective date of such change.
 
10. TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION OF UNITS.
 
     (a) Initial Limited Partner.  As of the day after trading commences, the
Initial Limited Partner may redeem his Unit for $1,000 and withdraw from the
Partnership.
 
     (b) Transfer.  Each Limited Partner expressly agrees that he will not
assign, transfer or dispose of, by gift or otherwise, any of his Units of
Limited Partnership interest or any part or all of his right, title and interest
in the capital or profits of the Partnership without giving written notice of
the assignment, transfer or disposition to the General Partner and that no
assignment, transfer or disposition shall be effective against the Partnership
or the General Partner until the first day of the fiscal quarter next succeeding
the quarter in which the General Partner receives the written notice described
below. Any assignment, transfer or disposition by an assignee of Units of
Limited Partnership Interest of his interest in the capital or profits of the
Partnership shall not be effective against the Partnership or the General
Partner until the first day of the fiscal quarter next succeeding the quarter in
which the General Partner receives the written notice described below. If the
General Partner receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that a transfer
should be prohibited in order to protect against treatment as a publicly traded
partnership, such transfer shall be prohibited. Upon advice of counsel, the
General Partner shall eliminate or modify any restrictions on substitutions or
assignment at such time as the restriction is no longer necessary. If an
assignment, transfer or disposition occurs by reason of the death of a Limited
Partner or assignee, such written notice may be given by the duly authorized
representative of the estate of the Limited Partner or assignee and shall be
supported by such proof of legal authority and valid assignment as may
reasonably be requested by the General Partner. The written notice required by
this paragraph shall specify the name and residence address of the assignee, the
date of assignment, shall include a statement by the assignee that he agrees to
give the above-described written notice to the General Partner upon any
subsequent assignment, and shall be signed by the assignor and assignee. The
General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive receipt of the
above-described notice or waive any defect therein. Any such assignee shall
become a substituted Limited Partner only upon the consent of the General
Partner (which consent may only be withheld for the purpose of preserving the
Partnership's tax status or to avoid adverse legal consequences to the
Partnership), upon the execution of a Power of Attorney by such assignee
appointing the General Partner as his attorney-in-fact in the form contained in
paragraph 13 hereof. The estate or any beneficiary of a deceased Limited Partner
or assignee shall have no right to withdraw any capital or profits from the
Partnership except by redemption of Units of Limited Partnership Interest. Upon
the death of a Limited Partner, his estate shall have any rights of inventory,
accounting, appraisal or examination of Partnership records as are granted by
law. A substituted Limited Partner shall have all the rights and powers and
shall be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner of
the Partnership. A substituted Limited Partner is also liable for the
obligations of his assignor to make contributions to the Partnership, but shall
not be liable for the obligations of his assignor under the Partnership Act to
return distributions received by the assignor, provided, however, that a
substituted Limited Partner shall not be obligated for liabilities unknown to
him at the time he became a substituted Limited Partner and which could not be
ascertained from
 
                                       A-8
<PAGE>   121
 
this Agreement. Each Limited Partner agrees that with the consent of the General
Partner any assignee may become a substituted Limited Partner without the
further act or approval of any Limited Partner. If the General Partner withholds
consent, an assignee shall not become a substituted Limited Partner and shall
not have any of the rights of a Limited Partner except that the assignee shall
be entitled to receive that share of capital or profits and shall have that
right of redemption to which his assignor would otherwise have been entitled. An
assigning Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership as provided in
the Partnership Act, regardless of whether his assignee becomes a substituted
Limited Partner. The transfer of Units of Limited Partnership Interest shall be
subject to all applicable securities laws. The transferor or assignor shall bear
the cost related to such transfer or assignment. Certificates representing Units
of Limited Partnership Interest may bear appropriate legends to the foregoing
effect. Except for transfers by gift, inheritance, intrafamily transfers, family
dissolutions and transfers to affiliates, no transfer may be made that results
in either the transferor or the transferee holding fewer than three Units.
 
     (c) Redemption.  After the end of six full months after the commencement of
trading operations, a Limited Partner (or any assignee thereof) may withdraw
some or all of his capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from
the Partnership in multiples of the Net Asset Value of a Unit of Limited
Partnership Interest (such withdrawal being herein referred to as "redemption")
as of the last day of a calendar month (the "Redemption Date") after a request
for redemption has been made to the General Partner; provided, that all
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of the Partnership, except any liability
to Partners on account of their capital contributions, have been paid or there
remains property of the Partnership sufficient to pay them. For the purpose of a
redemption, any accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and
organizational expenses will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit. Interest
earned by the Partnership will be used to reimburse SB for its initial payment
of such expenses. As used herein, "request for redemption" shall mean a letter
or oral request in a form specified by the General Partner received by the
General Partner at least 10 days in advance of the Redemption Date. No partial
redemptions are permitted if after giving effect to the redemption a Limited
Partner would own fewer than three Units. Upon redemption a Limited Partner (or
any assignee thereof) shall receive, per Unit of Limited Partnership Interest
redeemed, an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of a Unit of Limited
Partnership Interest as of the Redemption Date, less any amount owing by such
Partner (and his assignee, if any) to the Partnership. If redemption is
requested by an assignee, all amounts owed by the Partner to whom such Unit of
Limited Partnership Interest was sold by the Partnership as well as all amounts
owed by all assignees of such Unit of Limited Partnership Interest shall be
deducted from the Net Asset Value of such Unit of Limited Partnership Interest
upon redemption by an assignee. Payment will be made within 10 business days
after the Redemption Date. The General Partner may temporarily suspend
redemptions if necessary in order to liquidate commodity positions in an orderly
manner, and may, in its discretion, in a particular case, permit redemptions
before the end of any applicable holding period, partial redemptions, or at
times other than month-end.
 
     The General Partner may, in its sole discretion and upon notice to the
Limited Partners, declare a special redemption date on which Limited Partners
may redeem their Units at Net Asset Value, provided that the Limited Partner
submits a request for redemption in a form acceptable to the General Partner.
The General Partner shall declare such a special redemption date whenever the
Partnership experiences a decline in net asset value per unit as of the close of
business on any business day to less than 50% of the net asset value per unit on
the last valuation date. The Partnership shall suspend trading during such
special redemption period.
 
11. PUBLIC OFFERING OF UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST.
 
     The General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall (i) cause to be
filed a Registration Statement, and such amendments thereto as the General
Partner deems advisable, with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission for the registration and public offering of the Units of Limited
Partnership Interest, and (ii) qualify the Units of Limited Partnership Interest
for sale under the securities laws of such States of the United States or
foreign countries as the General Partner shall deem advisable.
 
     The General Partner may make such arrangements for the sale of the Units of
Limited Partnership Interest as it deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, the execution on behalf of the Partnership of a
 
                                       A-9
<PAGE>   122
 
selling agreement with SB as an agent of the Partnership for the offer and sale
of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest as contemplated in the Prospectus,
the Partnership's offering document prepared from the Registration Statement.
 
12. ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL PARTNERS.
 
     After the Public Offering of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest has
been terminated by the General Partner, no additional General Partners will be
admitted to the Partnership except as described in Paragraph 17(c). The General
Partner may take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate at any time to
offer new Units or partial Units and to admit new Limited Partners to the
Partnership. Any new Limited Partners accepted by the General Partner shall be
deemed admitted as Limited Partners at the time they are reflected as such on
the books and records of the Partnership.
 
13. SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY.
 
     Each Limited Partner does irrevocably constitute and appoint the General
Partner and each other person or entity that shall after the date of this
Agreement become a general partner of the Partnership with the power of
substitution, as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in his name, place and
stead, to execute, acknowledge, swear to, file and record in his behalf in the
appropriate public offices and publish (i) this Agreement and Certificate of
Limited Partnership including amendments and/or restatements thereto; (ii) all
instruments which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate to reflect
any amendment, change or modification of the Partnership in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; (iii) Certificates of Assumed Name; and (iv) Customer
Agreements with SB or other commodity brokerage firms. The Power of Attorney
granted herein shall be irrevocable and deemed to be a power coupled with an
interest and shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent incapacity,
disability or death of a Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees to
be bound by any representation made by the General Partner and by any successor
thereto, acting in good faith pursuant to such Power of Attorney; provided,
however, that the action taken was determined to be in the best interest of the
Partnership and did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General
Partner or any successor thereto. In the event of any conflict between this
Agreement and any instruments filed by such attorney pursuant to the Power of
Attorney granted in this Paragraph, this Agreement shall control.
 
14. WITHDRAWAL OF A PARTNER.
 
     The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the
assignment by the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership,
withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that causes the General
Partner to cease to be a general partner under the Partnership Act (unless the
Partnership is continued pursuant to Paragraph 17). The General Partner shall
not withdraw from the Partnership without giving the Limited Partners one
hundred twenty (120) days' prior written notice. The death, incompetency,
withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner shall not (in and of
itself) dissolve the Partnership, and such Limited Partner, his estate,
custodian or personal representative shall have no right to withdraw or value
such Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership except as provided in
Paragraph 10 hereof. Each Limited Partner (and any assignee of such Partner's
interest) expressly agrees that in the event of his death, he waives on behalf
of himself and his estate, and he directs the legal representative of his estate
and any person interested therein to waive, the furnishing of any inventory,
accounting, or appraisal of the assets of the Partnership and any right to an
audit; provided, however, that this waiver in no way limits the rights of the
Limited Partners or their representatives to have access to the Partnership's
books and records as described in Paragraph 8 hereof.
 
     If a General Partner withdraws as general partner and the Limited Partners
elect to continue the Partnership, the withdrawing General Partner shall pay all
expenses incurred as a result of its withdrawal. If the Partnership is continued
pursuant to Paragraph 17, the General Partner will be responsible for all
expenses resulting from its withdrawal or removal as a general partner. In the
event of removal or withdrawal of the General Partner, the General Partner is
entitled to a redemption of its interest in the Partnership at its Net Asset
Value on the next Redemption Date following the date of General Partner removal
or withdrawal.

15. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR RETURN OF CAPITAL.
 
     The General Partner, subject to paragraph 16 hereof, shall not be
personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the
capital or profits of any Partner (or assignee), it being expressly agreed that
any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
made solely from the assets (which shall not include any right of contribution
from the General Partner) of the Partnership.
 
16. INDEMNIFICATION.
 
     (a) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no liability to the
Partnership or to any Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership which
arises out of any action or inaction of the General Partner or its Affiliates if
the General Partner determined in good faith that the course of conduct which
caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Partnership, the
General Partner (or its affiliate) was acting on behalf of or performing
services for the Partnership and such loss or liability was not the result of
negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or its Affiliates. The General
Partner and its Affiliates shall be indemnified by the Partnership against any
losses, judgment, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any
claims sustained by them in connection with the Partnership, provided that the
General Partner shall have determined in good faith that such course of conduct
was in the best interests of the Partnership and such loss or liability was not
the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the General Partner or its
Affiliates.
 
     (b) Notwithstanding (a) above, the General Partner and its Affiliates and
any person acting as a Broker-Dealer shall not be indemnified for any losses,
liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal
or state securities laws.
 
     (c) The Partnership shall not incur the cost of that portion of any
insurance which insures any party against any liability the indemnification of
which is herein prohibited.
 
     (d) For purposes of this Paragraph 16, the term "Affiliates" shall mean (a)
any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to
vote 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of such person; (b) any
person 10% or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or
indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote, by such person; (c) any
person, directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common
control of such person; (d) any officer, director or partner of such person; or
(e) if such person is an officer, director or partner, any person for which such
person acts in such capacity.
 
     (e) The provision of advances from Partnership funds to the General Partner
and its Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of
any legal action initiated against the General Partner or its Affiliates is
prohibited.
 
     (f) Indemnification under this Agreement is recoverable from the assets of
the Partnership and not from the Limited Partners.
 
17. AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS.
 
     (a) Amendments with Consent of the General Partner.  If at any time during
the term of the Partnership the General Partner shall deem it necessary or
desirable to amend this Agreement (including the Partnership's basic investment
policies set forth in paragraph 3(b) hereof) such amendment shall be effective
only if approved in writing by the General Partner and by Limited Partners
owning more than 50% of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest then
outstanding and if made in accordance with the Partnership Act. Any such
supplemental or amendatory agreement shall be adhered to and have the same
effect from and after its effective date as if the same had originally been
embodied in and formed a part of this Agreement. The General Partner may amend
this Limited Partnership Agreement without the consent of the Limited Partners
in order to (i) clarify any clerical inaccuracy or ambiguity or reconcile any
inconsistency (including any inconsistency between this Limited Partnership
Agreement and the Prospectus); (ii) delete or add any provision of or to the
Limited Partnership Agreement required to be deleted or added by the staff of
any federal or state agency; or (iii) make any amendment to the Limited
Partnership Agreement which the General Partner deems advisable (including but
not limited to amendments necessary to effect the allocations
 
                                      A-11
<PAGE>   124
 
proposed herein or to change the name of the Partnership) provided that such
amendment is not adverse to the Limited Partners, or is required by law.
 
     (b) Meetings.  Upon receipt of a written request, signed by Limited
Partners owning at least 10% of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest then
outstanding, delivered in person or by certified mail that a meeting of the
Partnership be called to vote upon any matter which the Limited Partners may
vote upon pursuant to this Agreement, the General Partner shall, by written
notice, either in person or by certified mail, to each Limited Partner of record
mailed within fifteen days after receipt of such request, call a meeting of the
Partnership. Such meeting shall be held at least thirty but not more than sixty
days after the mailing of such notice, and such notice shall specify the date, a
reasonable place and time, and the purpose of such meeting.
 
     (c) Amendments and Actions without Consent of the General Partner.  At any
meeting called pursuant to Paragraph 17(b), upon the approval by an affirmative
vote (which may be in person or by proxy) of Limited Partners owning more than
50% of the outstanding Units of Limited Partnership Interest, the following
actions may be taken: (i) this Agreement may be amended in accordance with the
Partnership Act; (ii) the Partnership may be dissolved; (iii) the General
Partner may be removed and a new general partner may be admitted immediately
prior to the removal of the General Partner provided that the new general
partner of the Partnership shall continue the business of the Partnership
without dissolution; (iv) if the General Partner elects to withdraw from the
Partnership a new general partner or general partners may be admitted
immediately prior to withdrawal of the General Partner provided that the new
general partner of the Partnership shall continue the business of the
Partnership without dissolution; (v) any contracts with the General Partner, any
of its affiliates or any commodity trading advisor to the Partnership may be
terminated on sixty days' notice without penalty; and (vi) the sale of all the
assets of the Partnership may be approved.
 
     (d) Continuation.  Upon the assignment by the General Partner of all of its
interest in the Partnership, the withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other
event that causes the General Partner to cease to be a general partner under the
Partnership Act, the Partnership is not dissolved and is not required to be
wound up by reason of such event if, within 90 days after such event, all
remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership
and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of a successor
General Partner. In the event of the withdrawal by the General Partner and the
continuation of the Partnership pursuant to this paragraph, the General Partner
shall pay all expenses incurred as a result of its withdrawal.
 
18. GOVERNING LAW.
 
     The validity and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York including,
specifically, the New York Revised Uniform Partnership Act, as amended (without
regard to its choice of law principles); provided, however, that causes of
action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed
by this Section 18.
 
19. MISCELLANEOUS.

to any priority or preference over any other Limited Partner with regard to the
return of contributions of capital or to the distribution of any profits or
otherwise in the affairs of the Partnership.

the parties, their successors, permitted assigns, custodians, estates, heirs and
personal representatives. For purposes of determining the rights of any Partner
or assignee hereunder, the Partnership and the General Partner may rely upon the

                               FUTURES FUND L.P.
 
                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
 
Dear Sirs:
 
    A. SUBSCRIBER PROVISIONS.
 
    1. Subscription for Units.  I hereby subscribe for the amount indicated
below of units of limited partnership interest ("Units") of SMITH BARNEY
WESTPORT FUTURES FUND L.P. (the "Partnership") at $1,000 per Unit during the
Initial Offering Period and at the Net Asset Value per Unit during the
Continuous Offering (as those terms are defined under "Plan of Distribution")
(with a minimum investment of $5,000, except $2,000 for employee-benefit plans,
subject to higher minimum in certain states). A SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE REVOKED BY A
SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION DURING
THE INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD FOR ANY REASON. A SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE REVOKED BY A
SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION DURING
THE CONTINUOUS OFFERING IF THE GENERAL PARTNER DETERMINES NOT TO OFFER UNITS AS
OF THE END OF A MONTH.
 
    2. Representations and Warranties.  BY EXECUTING THIS SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT, I AM NOT WAIVING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. As an inducement to the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership to
sell me the Units for which I have subscribed, I (either in my individual
capacity or as an authorized representative of an entity, if applicable) hereby
represent and warrant to the General Partner and the Partnership as follows:
 
        (a) I HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE PROSPECTUS AND DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT OF
    THE PARTNERSHIP, INCLUDING THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (AS
    SUPPLEMENTED BY STICKER SUPPLEMENTS, IF ANY) AND A COPY OF THE MOST RECENT
    MONTHLY STATEMENT AND ANNUAL REPORT, IF ANY, RELATING TO AND DESCRIBING THE
    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS OFFERING OF UNITS ("PROSPECTUS").
 
        (b) I MEET THE APPLICABLE INVESTOR SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN
    EXHIBIT C TO THE PROSPECTUS AND REPRESENT THAT ALL THE INFORMATION SET FORTH
    WITH RESPECT TO MY FINANCIAL POSITION IS CORRECT AND COMPLETE AS OF THE DATE
    OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, AND IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY MATERIAL CHANGE
    IN SUCH INFORMATION PRIOR TO MY ADMISSION AS A LIMITED PARTNER, I WILL
    IMMEDIATELY FURNISH SUCH REVISED OR CORRECTED INFORMATION TO THE GENERAL
    PARTNER.
 
        (c) I hereby consent to the execution and delivery of the Customer
    Agreement between the Partnership and SB and to the payment to SB of fees as
    described in the Prospectus.
 
        (d) If I am not a citizen or resident of the United States for federal
    income tax purposes, I represent that I am not a dealer in commodities and I
    agree to pay the General Partner or SB for any taxes, including but not
    limited to withholding tax, imposed as a result of my status as a limited
    partner.
 
    3. Employee-Benefit Plans.  The undersigned individual, employer or trustee
who has investment discretion over the assets of the subscribing
employee-benefit plan ("Director") represents and agrees as follows:
 
        (a) Either (A) or (B): (A) neither SB nor any of its employees or
    affiliates (i) manages any part of the investment portfolio of the
    subscribing employee-benefit plan (the "Plan"), or (ii) has an agreement or
    understanding, written or unwritten, with the Fiduciary under which the
    Fiduciary regularly receives information, recommendations or advice
    concerning investments which are used as a primary basis for the Plan's
    investment decisions and which are individualized to the particular needs of
    the Plan.
 
        or (B) The relationship between the Plan and SB or any of its employees
    or affiliates comes within (i) or (ii) above with respect to only a portion
    of the Plan's assets and the investment in the Partnership is being made by
    the Fiduciary from a portion of Plan assets with respect to which such
    relationship does not exist.
 
        (b) Although an SB Financial Consultant may have suggested that the
    Director consider the investment in the Partnership, the Director has
    studied the Prospectus and has made the investment decision solely on the
    basis of the Prospectus and without reliance on such suggestion.
 
        (c) The Plan is in compliance with all applicable Federal regulatory
    requirements.
 
    4. Acceptance of Limited Partnership Agreement and Power of Attorney.  I
hereby apply to become a limited partner as of the date the sale of my Units
becomes effective, and I hereby agree to each and every term of the Limited
Partnership Agreement as if my signature were subscribed therein.
 
    I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Smith Barney Futures Management
Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership, as my true and lawful

    fees from the Partnership regardless of the Partnership's trading
    performance (see "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership" in the Prospectus).

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
 
Dear Sirs:
 
    A. SUBSCRIBER PROVISIONS.
 
    1. Subscription for Units.  I hereby subscribe for the amount indicated
below of units of limited partnership interest ("Units") of SMITH BARNEY
WESTPORT FUTURES FUND L.P. (the "Partnership") at $1,000 per Unit during the
Initial Offering Period and at Net Asset Value per Unit during the Continuous
Offering (as those terms are defined under "Plan of Distribution") (with a
minimum investment of $5,000, except $2,000 for employee-benefit plans, subject
to higher minimum in certain states). A SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE REVOKED BY A
SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION DURING
THE INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD FOR ANY REASON. A SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE REVOKED BY A
SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION DURING
THE CONTINUOUS OFFERING IF THE GENERAL PARTNER DETERMINES NOT TO OFFER UNITS AS
OF THE END OF A MONTH.
 
    2. Representations and Warranties.  BY EXECUTING THIS SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT, I AM NOT WAIVING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. As an inducement to the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership to
sell me the Units for which I have subscribed, I (either in my individual
capacity or as an authorized representative of an entity, if applicable) hereby
represent and warrant to the General Partner and the Partnership as follows:
 
        (a) I HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE PROSPECTUS AND DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT OF
    THE PARTNERSHIP, INCLUDING THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (AS
    SUPPLEMENTED BY STICKER SUPPLEMENTS, IF ANY) AND A COPY OF THE MOST RECENT
    MONTHLY STATEMENT AND ANNUAL REPORT, IF ANY, RELATING TO AND DESCRIBING THE
    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS OFFERING OF UNITS ("PROSPECTUS").
 
        (b) I MEET THE APPLICABLE INVESTOR SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN
    EXHIBIT C TO THE PROSPECTUS AND REPRESENT THAT ALL THE INFORMATION SET FORTH
    WITH RESPECT TO MY FINANCIAL POSITION IS CORRECT AND COMPLETE AS OF THE DATE
    OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, AND IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY MATERIAL CHANGE
    IN SUCH INFORMATION PRIOR TO MY ADMISSION AS A LIMITED PARTNER, I WILL
    IMMEDIATELY FURNISH SUCH REVISED OR CORRECTED INFORMATION TO THE GENERAL
    PARTNER.
 
        (c) I hereby consent to the execution and delivery of the Customer
    Agreement between the Partnership and SB and to the payment to SB of fees as
    described in the Prospectus.
 
        (d) If I am not a citizen or resident of the United States for federal
    income tax purposes, I represent that I am not a dealer in commodities and I
    agree to pay the General Partner or SB for any taxes, including but not
    limited to withholding tax, imposed as a result of my status as a limited
    partner.
 
    3. Employee-Benefit Plans.  The undersigned individual, employer or trustee
who has investment discretion over the assets of the subscribing
employee-benefit plan ("Director") represents and agrees as follows:
 
        (a) Either (A) or (B): (A) neither SB nor any of its employees or
    affiliates (i) manages any part of the investment portfolio of the
    subscribing employee-benefit plan (the "Plan"), or (ii) has an agreement or
    understanding, written or unwritten, with the Fiduciary under which the
    Fiduciary regularly receives information, recommendations or advice
    concerning investments which are used as a primary basis for the Plan's
    investment decisions and which are individualized to the particular needs of
    the Plan.
 
        or (B) The relationship between the Plan and SB or any of its employees
    or affiliates comes within (i) or (ii) above with respect to only a portion
    of the Plan's assets and the investment in the Partnership is being made by
    the Fiduciary from a portion of Plan assets with respect to which such
    relationship does not exist.
 
        (b) Although an SB Financial Consultant may have suggested that the
    Director consider the investment in the Partnership, the Director has
    studied the Prospectus and has made the investment decision solely on the
    basis of the Prospectus and without reliance on such suggestion.
 
        (c) The Plan is in compliance with all applicable Federal regulatory
    requirements.
 
    4. Acceptance of Limited Partnership Agreement and Power of Attorney.  I
hereby apply to become a limited partner as of the date the sale of my Units
becomes effective, and I hereby agree to each and every term of the Limited
Partnership Agreement as if my signature were subscribed therein.
 
    I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Smith Barney Futures Management
Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership, as my true and lawful
Attorney-in-Fact, with full power of substitution, in my name, place and stead,
to execute, acknowledge, swear to, file and record on my behalf in the
appropriate public offices (i) the Limited Partnership Agreement of the
Partnership and a Certificate of Limited Partnership, including amendments and
restatements thereto; (ii) all instruments which the General Partner deems
necessary or appropriate to reflect any amendment, change, modification or
restatement of the Limited Partnership Agreement in accordance with the terms of
the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended, including any instruments
necessary to dissolve the Partnership; (iii) certificates of assumed name; and
(iv) customer agreements with any commodity brokerage firm. The power of
attorney granted hereby shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable and survive the death, disability or incapacity of the
undersigned.
                               ------------------
 
    B. GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for matters arising
under federal and state securities laws.
                               ------------------
 
    C. RISK DISCLOSURE.
 
        1. Investment in the Partnership is speculative and includes the risks
    summarized under "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus. Each investor must be
    able to afford the risks of an investment in the Partnership.
 
        2. Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., the General Partner, is an
    affiliate of Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"). SB is the Selling Agent and the
    Commodity Broker/Dealer and recipient of brokerage fees. Therefore,
    conflicts of interest exist (see "Conflicts of Interest" and "The Commodity
    Broker/Dealer" in the Prospectus). SB will receive substantial brokerage
    fees from the Partnership regardless of the Partnership's trading
    performance (see "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership" in the Prospectus).
 
        3. Beginning with the month ending six full months after trading
    commences, an Investor may redeem his Units only as of the last day of a
    calendar month, all as set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
 
        4. The offering of Units is made solely on the information in the
    Prospectus and Exhibits thereto. No person is authorized to make any
    representations not contained in the Prospectus.
