NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
1. General:
Smith Barney AAA Energy Fund L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized on January 5, 1998 under the partnership laws of the State
of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of
commodity interests, generally including commodity options and commodity futures
contracts on United States exchanges and certain foreign exchanges. The
Partnership may trade commodity futures and options contracts of any kind but
intends initially to trade solely energy and energy related products. In
addition, the Partnership may enter into swap contracts on energy related
products. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are
volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
Between February 12, 1998 (commencement of the offering period) and March
15, 1998, 49,538 Units of limited partnership interest were sold at $1,000 per
Unit. The proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account until March
16, 1998, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for trading.
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. acts as the general partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. The Partnership=s commodity broker is
Salomon Smith Barney Inc.("SSB"). SSB is an affiliate of the General Partner.
The General Partner is wholly owned by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("SSBH"), which is the sole owner of SSB. SSBH is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Citigroup Inc. All trading decisions are made by AAA Capital Management Inc.
(the "Advisor").
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments, (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments), necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial
condition at June 30, 1999 and the results of its operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the
period from March 16, 1998 (commencement of trading operations) to June 30,
1998. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do
not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. It
is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes included in the Partnership=s annual report on
Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended
December 31, 1998.

<PAGE>
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for
the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

3. Trading Activities:
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a
variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Partnership's trading
activity are shown in the statements of income and expenses.
The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SSB gives the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for
trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options
and swaps thereon, if applicable, at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was
$(15,316,291) and $10,233,146 and the average fair value of months with net
gains was $2,014,881 and $6,022,877, respectively, and the average fair value of
months with net losses was $23,659,635 and $4,052,431, respectively, during the
periods then ended, based on a monthly calculation.
4. Financial Instrument Risk:
The Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity
instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments
may 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, through physical delivery 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.
8
<PAGE>
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest
and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security
prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure
of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk
with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an
exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions.
The Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically
limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition and
not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The
Partnership has concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership's assets is SSB. As of June 30, 1999, the only
counterparties to the Partnership's swap contracts were Citibank, N.A. which is
affiliated with the Partnership and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk
exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management
monitoring systems and, accordingly believes that it has effective procedures
for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership
is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically
analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account
analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin
requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments, while not
recorded in the financial statements, reflect the extent of the Partnership's
involvement in these instruments.
9
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1999, the notional or contractual amounts of the
Partnership's commitment to purchase and sell these instruments was $429,118,029
and $454,400,425, respectively, as detailed below. All of these instruments
mature within one year of June 30, 1999. However, due to the nature of the
Partnership=s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At June
30, 1999, the fair value of the Partnership=s derivatives, including options
thereon, if applicable, was $(15,316,291), as detailed below.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Its
only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting
of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open
futures and forward contracts, commodity options and interest receivable.
Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures
trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to
the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a substantial decrease
in liquidity, no such losses occurred in the Partnership's second quarter of
1999.
The Partnership's capital consists of capital contributions, as
increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity futures trading and
expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of profits, if
any.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, Partnership capital increased
16.1% from $79,727,340 to $92,569,031. This increase was attributable to net
income from operations of $19,082,206 partially offset by the redemption of
2,154.0413 Units resulting in an outflow of $2,753,956. Future redemptions can
impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract
position in subsequent periods.
Risk of Computer System Failure (Year 2000 Issue)
The Year 2000 issue is the result of existing computers in
many businesses using only two digits to identify a year in the date field.
These computers and programs, often referred to as "information technology,"
were designed and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming
change in the century. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail
or create erroneous results at the Year 2000. Such systems and processes are
dependent on correctly identifying dates in the next century.
The General Partner administers the business of the
Partnership through various systems and processes maintained by SSBH and SSB. In
addition, the operation of the Partnership is dependent on the capability of the
Partnership's Advisors, the brokers and exchanges through which the Advisors
trade, and other third parties to prepare adequately for the Year 2000 impact on
their systems and processes. The Partnership itself has no systems or
information technology applications relevant to its operations.
The General Partner, SSB, SSBH and their parent organization
Citigroup Inc. have undertaken a comprehensive, firm-wide evaluation of both
11
<PAGE>
internal and external systems (systems related to third parties) to determine
the specific modifications needed to prepare for the year 2000. The combined
Year 2000 program in SSB is expected to cost approximately $140 million over the
four years from 1996 through 1999, and has involved over 450 people. As of June
30, 1999, SSB has completed all compliance and certification work.
The systems and components supporting the General Partner's
business that require remediation have been brought into Year 2000 compliance.
Final testing and certification was completed as of June 30, 1999.
This expenditure and the General Partner's resources dedicated
to the preparation for Year 2000 do not and will not have a material impact on
the operation or results of the Partnership.
The General Partner has received statements from the Advisors
that they have completed their Year 2000 remediation program.
The most likely and most significant risk to the Partnership
associated with the lack of Year 2000 readiness is the failure of outside
organizations, including the commodities exchanges, clearing organizations, or
regulators with which the Partnership interacts to resolve their Year 2000
issues in a timely manner. This risk could involve the inability to determine
the value of the Partnership at some point in time and would make effecting
purchases or redemptions of Units in the Partnership infeasible until such
valuation was determinable.
SSB has successfully participated in industry-wide testing
including: The Streetwide Beta Testing organized by the Securities Industry
Association (SIA), a government securities clearing test with the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, The Depository Trust Company, and The Bank of New
York, and Futures Industry Association participants test. The firm also
participated in the streetwide testing that was conducted from March through May
1999.
It is possible that problems may occur that would require some
time to repair. Moreover, it is possible that problems will occur outside SSBH
for which SSBH could experience a secondary effect. Consequently, SSBH has
prepared comprehensive, written contingency plans so that alternative procedures
and a framework for critical decisions are defined before any potential crisis
occurs.
The goal of year 2000 contingency planning is a set of
alternate procedures to be used in the event of a critical system failure by a
supplier of counterparty. Planning work was completed in January 1999, and
testing of alternative procedures will be completed in the third and fourth
quarter of 1999.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations
During the Partnership's second quarter of 1999, the net asset value
per unit increased 3.0% from $1,379.38 to $1,420.55, as compared to a increase
of 0.8% in the second quarter of 1998. The Partnership experienced a net trading
gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second quarter of 1999
of $5,739,884. These gains were primarily attributable to the trading of
commodity futures in energy contracts. The Partnership experienced a net trading
gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second quarter of 1998
of $1,884,050. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of energy
contracts.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price
fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity
trading, but also increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the
Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of
the Advisors to identify correctly those price trends. Price trends are
influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships,
weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies,
national and international political and economic events and changes in interest
rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to
identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
Interest income on 80% of the Partnership's daily average equity
maintained in cash was earned at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate. Determined
weekly by SSB based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S.
Treasury bills maturing in 30 days. Interest income for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999 increased by $262,065 and $936,794, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 1998.
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by
the Advisor. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations
in the monthly net asset values. Commissions and fees for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 increased by $1,326,477 and $3,285,670, respectively,
as compared to the corresponding periods in 1998.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's
net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading
performance and redemptions. Management fees for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 increased by $165,907 and $557,237, respectively, as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1998.

Item. 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk
The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive
instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of trading
loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is
integral, not incidental, to the Partnership's main line of business.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of
the Partnership's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash
flow. The Partnership's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors,
including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity
price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the
diversification effects among the Partnership's open positions and the liquidity
of the markets in which it trades.
The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short
positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible
to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and
the Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future
results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership
could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the
inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading and the recurrence
in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding
expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the
indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership's experience to date (i.e., "risk of
ruin"). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties
intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification
included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or
representation that the Partnership's losses in any market sector will be
limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership's attempts to manage its market
risk.

The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with
the Partnership's open positions by market category as of June 30, 1999. All
open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in
calculating the figures set forth below. As of June 30, 1999, the Partnership's
total capitalization was $92,569,031. There has been no material change in the
