Item 1.   Business

(a) Maximus Fund I, L.L.C. (the "Company", the "Partnership", the "Registrant")
a limited liability company was organized on January 17, 1997. The Company

speculative trading of commodity interests. The General Partner for the Fund is
Maximus Capital Management, Inc.(the "General Partner"). Maximus Capital
Management, Inc. also initially acted as the Company's Trading Advisor.

     As of July 1999 the Company had permanently ceased trading operations. All
trading positions were liquidated and final distributions were made to all
members.

     The Clearing broker for the Company was Iowa Grain Company (the "Clearing
Broker"). The Company's trades were introduced to the Clearing Broker by D&R
Commodities, Inc. (the "Introducing Broker").


     In accordance with the Company's prospectus, the Company commenced trading
after receiving a minimum of $1,000,000 in initial membership interests. Trading
began after initial subsriptions of $1,009,106 were received.

     The Company offered both Class "A" and "B" interests. Class "A" interests
are charged a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% annually) of the
Net Asset Value. Class "B" interests are charged both a 1/12 of 1% management
fee and a quarterly incentive fee equal to 25% of the net trading profits.
Brokerage fees for both share classes are $65.00 per round turn.

     The Company's prospectus dated September 4, 1997 contains a more detailed
description of the fee calculations.

     The Company incurred ongoing legal, accounting, administrative, and other
miscellaneous costs.

under regulations of the CFTC and the NFA, a commodity industry self-regulatory
organization. The Clearing Broker and Introducing Broker are required to be
registered with the CFTC and the NFA and are subject to certain financial and/or

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity

     The Partnership's assets are on deposit in separate commodity interest
accounts with the Broker and are used by the Partnership as margin to engage in
commodity futures and other commodity interest trading. The Broker holds such
assets in either non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities approved by
the CFTC for investment of customer funds. The Partnership's assets held by the
Broker may be used as margin solely for the Partnership's trading. Since the
Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in commodity futures contracts and other
commodity interests, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own
such liquid assets for margin purposes, once trading commences.

     The Partnership's investment in commodity futures contracts, forward
contracts and other commodity interests may be illiquid. If the price for a
futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or decreased by an
amount equal to the "daily limit", positions in the commodity can neither be
taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within
the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for
several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could
prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its commodity futures
positions.

     There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward contracts on
foreign currencies. The markets for some world currencies have low trading
volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership from trading in
potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly
liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets and subjecting it to
substantial losses.

     Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on
redemptions.



Capital Resources

     The purpose of the Fund is to trade commodity interests; as such, the Fund
does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets and has no
material commitments for capital expenditures. The Fund's use of assets is
solely to provide necessary margin or premiums for, and to pay for any losses
incurred in connection with its trading activities.

were $524,237 and for 1998 were $576,567.

yet commenced.

     In 1999, the partnership had a net loss of $17,499. Trading activity
accounted for $19,266 of this loss. In 1998, the partnership had a net loss of
$28,092. Trading activity accounted for $9,611 of this loss.

may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the registrant.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of Maximus Fund I, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Maximus
Fund I, LLC at July 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, and the related statements
of operations, and changes in member's equity for the periods January 1, 1999 to
July 31, 1999 (liquidation) and March 16, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Maximus Fund I, LLC at July 31,
1999, and December 31, 1998 and the results of its operations for the periods
ended July 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies:

        NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION: Maximus Fund I, LLC (the "Fund") is
a limited liability company organized under the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Act on January 17, 1997. The Fund seeks capital appreciation through the
speculative trading of futures and options on futures in US markets. The Fund
commenced trading During February 1998. The Fund ceased trading in July 1999.

        NET ASSETS: The valuation of net assets includes unliquidated commodity
futures and options contracts owned by the Fund, if any, at the end of the
period. The unrealized gain or loss on these contracts, if any, was calculated
based on closing prices on the last business day of the year. Net asset value is
determined by subtracting liabilities from assets, which also equals Member
equity. Net asset value per unit is determined by dividing member capital, by
units outstanding at period end for each Class.

        THE FUND accounts for subscriptions, allocations, redemption's and
management and incentive fees on a per unit basis by class.

        INCOME TAXES: No provision for income taxes has been made since the Fund
is not subject to taxes on income. Each member is individually liable for the
tax on its share of income or loss. The Fund prepares a calendar year
information tax return.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION: Commodity futures and options are recorded on the
trade date, and open futures positions are reflected in the accompanying
statement of financial condition as the difference between the original contract
value and the market value on the last business day of the reporting period. The
market values of commodity futures and options contracts are based upon the most
recent available settlement prices on the appropriate commodity exchanges. US
Treasury Securities are reported at cost plus accrued interest, which
approximates market. Changes in unrealized gains or (losses) represent the total
increases (decreases) in unrealized gains or (increases) decreases in unrealized
losses on open positions during the period.

        INTEREST INCOME RECOGNITION: The Fund records interest income in the
period it is earned.

        STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS: The Fund has elected not to provide a statement
of cash flows as permitted by Statement of Accounting Standards 102 "Statement
of Cash Flows".

Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions:

        The Limited Liability Company Agreement vests all responsibility and
powers for the management of the business and affairs of the Fund with the
Managing Member, Maximus Capital Management, Inc.

<PAGE>   6

                               MAXIMUS FUND I, LLC
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The Managing Member is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor; and is
also a member of the National Futures Association. The Managing Member is the
Trading Advisor for the Fund.

        The Fund pays the Managing Member a monthly management fee as follows:

        Class A Interests - .083 (approximately 1% annually) of month end net
asset value.

        Class B Interests - .083 (approximately 1% annually of month end net
asset value.

        Class B Interests also pay a quarterly incentive fee to the Managing
Member equal to 25% of new trading profits.

        The registered commodity broker is Iowa Grain Company, which clears
futures transactions for the Partnership. The Partnership pays commissions to
the commodity broker. The introducing broker of the Fund is D&R Commodities. The
introducing broker may share in the commissions paid by the Fund to the
commodity broker. The principal of the Managing Member is also a principal of
the introducing broker.

        Administrative expenses are borne by the Fund.

Note 3. Member Equity and Redemptions:

        Members may withdraw all or part of their interests at month end net
asset value with 10 days prior written notice.

        New Members are admitted at net asset value per unit as of the end of
each calendar month.

Note 4. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit and Market Risk:

        Included in the definition of financial instruments forward contracts,
options, and futures. The Fund invests in various futures and futures option
contracts for speculative purposes. These contracts are marked to market daily,
with variations in the value settled on a daily basis with the exchange upon
which they are traded. For these contracts the unrealized gain or loss rather
than the notional amounts, represents the approximate future cash requirements.
At December 31, 1998 the Fund owned open positions that would have provided
$4,737 if settled.

        Theoretically, the Fund is exposed to a market risk (loss) equal to the
notional value of financial instruments purchased and unlimited liability on
financial instruments sold short. Generally financial instruments can be closed
out at the discretion of the Trading Advisor. However, if the market is
illiquid, it could prevent the timely closeout of any unfavorable positions or
require the Fund to hold these positions until maturity, regardless of the
changes in their value or the Trading Advisor's investment strategies.

                               MAXIMUS FUND I, LLC
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at
the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted.
Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from
financial instruments exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar
economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.
Futures contracts have little credit risk because futures exchanges are the
counterparties.

Note 5. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
        Instruments:

        A derivative financial instrument is a financial agreement whose value
is linked to, or derived from, the performance of an underlying asset. The
underlying asset can be currencies, commodities, interest rates, stocks, or any
combination. Changes in the underlying asset indirectly affect the value of the
derivative. All trading instruments are subject to market risk, the risk that
future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable or more
onerous. As the instruments are recognized at fair market value, those changes
directly affect reported income.

        Financial instruments (including derivatives) used for trading purposes
are recorded in the statement of financial condition at fair value at the
reporting date. Realized and unrealized changes in fair values are recognized in
the period in which the changes occur.

        Interest income arising from trading instruments is included in the
statement of operations as part of interest income.

        Notional amounts are equivalent to the aggregate face value of the
derivative financial instruments. Notional amounts do not represent the amounts
exchanged by the parties to derivatives and do not measure the Fund's exposure
to credit or market risks. The amounts exchanged are based on the notional
amounts and other terms of the derivatives.

        The Fund engages in the speculative trading of derivative financial
instruments, which includes futures contracts. Futures contracts are commitments
to either purchase or sell designated financial instruments at a future date for
a specified price and may be settled in cash or through delivery. The Fund has
assets at the Clearing Broker in accounts, which are used to meet minimum margin
requirements for all of the Fund's open positions. These requirements are
adjusted, as needed, due to daily fluctuations in the values of the underlying
assets. At December 31, 1998 the Fund had assets at the Commodity broker of
$375,009.
