                        Notes to Financial Statements

1.    General:

      Salomon   Smith  Barney   Global   Diversified   Futures  Fund  L.P.  (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of
New York, on June 15, 1998 to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified
portfolio  of  commodity  interests  including  futures  contracts,  options and
forward  contracts.  The commodity  interests that are traded by the Partnership
are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership commenced
trading operations on February 2, 1999.

          Between  November 25, 1998  (commencement  of the offering period) and
February 1, 1999,  33,380  Units of limited  partnership  interest  and 337 Unit
equivalents  representing the general partner's contribution were sold at $1,000
per unit.  The proceeds of the  offering  were held in an escrow  account  until
February 2, 1999,  at which time they were turned  over to the  Partnership  for
trading. The Public offering of Units terminated on April 1, 2000.

      Smith  Barney  Futures  Management  LLC 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.  ("SSBHI"),  which is the  sole  owner  of SSB.  SSBHI  is a  wholly  owned
subsidiary   of  Citigroup   Inc.  All  trading   decisions  are  made  for  the
Partnership by Campbell & Company,  Inc.,  ("Campbell"),  Eagle Trading Systems,
Inc.  ("Eagle"),   Eckhardt  Trading  Company   ("Eckhardt")  and  Rabar  Market
Research, Inc. ("Rabar") (collectively, the "Advisors").

      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  September  30, 2000 and  December 31, 1999 and the results of its
operations  for the three months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  the nine
months  ended   September  30,  2000  and  the  period  from  February  2,  1999
(commencement  of trading  operations)  to September 30, 1999.  These  financial
statements  present  the  results  of interim  periods  and do not  include  all
disclosures  normally provided in annual financial  statements.  It is suggested
that  these  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements  and notes included in the  Partnership's  annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission for the year ended December
31, 1999.

3.   Offering and Organization Costs:

      Offering and organization  expenses of approximately  $700,000 relating to
the issuance and marketing of the  partnership's  Units  offered were  initially
paid by SSB.  These costs have been  recorded as due to SSB in the  statement of
financial condition.  These costs are being reimbursed to SSB by the Partnership
in 24 equal  monthly  installments  (together  with  interest  at the prime rate
quoted by the Chase Manhattan Bank).

      As of September 30, 2000,  $450,586 of these costs have been reimbursed to
SSB, by the Partnership.

     In addition,  the  Partnership  has recorded  interest  expense of $58,278,
through September 30, 2000 which is included in other expenses.

      The  remaining  deferred  liability for these costs due to SSB of $159,414
(exclusive of interest charges) will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit for any
purpose (other than financial reporting),  including calculation of advisory and
brokerage fees and the redemption value of Units.

4.  Trading Activities:

      The  Partnership  was formed for the  purpose  of trading  contracts  in a
variety of commodity interests,  including derivative financial  instruments and
derivative  commodity  instruments.  The  results of the  Partnership's  trading
activity  are  shown in the  statement  of income  and  expenses  and  partners'
capital.

      The  Customer   Agreement  between  the  Partnership  and  SSB  gives  the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.

5.  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

                                       9

            Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)
                                   (Continued)

greater than those  associated with exchange traded  instruments  because of the
greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.

      Market risk is the  potential  for  changes in the value of the  financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes,  including interest
and foreign  exchange rate movements and  fluctuations  in commodity or security
prices.  Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.

      Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with
respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange
or  clearing  organization  acts  as a  counterparty  to the  transactions.  The
Partnership's  risk of loss in the event of  counterparty  default is  typically
limited to the amounts  recognized in the  statement of financial  condition and
not  represented  by the contract or notional  amounts of the  instruments.  The
Partnership has concentration  risk because the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership's assets is SSB.

      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.  The  majority of these  instruments  mature
within  one year of  September  30,  2000.  However,  due to the  nature  of the
Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

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, net unrealized appreciation  (depreciation) on open futures and forward
contracts, commodity options, if applicable, and interest receivable. Because of
the  low  margin  deposits  normally  required  in  commodity  futures  trading,
relatively  small  price  movements  may  result  in  substantial  losses to the
Partnership.  While substantial losses could lead to a decrease in liquidity, no
such losses occurred during the third quarter of 2000.

       The  Partnership's  capital consists of the capital  contributions of the
partners as  increased  or  decreased  by gains or losses on  commodity  futures
trading,  expenses,  interest  income,  additions and  redemptions  of Units and
distributions of profits, if any.

      For  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  Partnership  capital
decreased 30.2% from $87,088,508 to $54,678,085.  This decrease was attributable
to the  redemption of 35,807.5755  Units  resulting in an outflow of $32,123,356
coupled with net loss from operation of $6,338,067 which was partially offset by
the additional sales of 6,391.5840 Units totaling $6,051,000. Future redemptions
can impact the amount of funds  available for  investment in commodity  contract
positions in subsequent months.

Results of Operations

     During the  Partnership's  third  quarter of 2000,  the net asset value per
unit decreased 1.4% from $891.87 to $879.56 as compared to a decrease of 1.1% in
the third quarter of 1999. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before
brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2000 of $333,428.
Losses were  primarily  attributable  to the trading of  commodity  contracts in
grains,  non-U.S.  interest rates,  metals, softs and indices and were partially
offset by gains in currencies,  U.S. interest rates,  energy and livestock.  The
Partnership  experienced a net trading loss before  commissions and related fees
in the third quarter of 1999 of $78,105.  Losses were primarily  attributable to
the trading of  commodity  contracts  future in  currencies,  grains,  U.S.  and
non-U.S.  interest  rates,  livestock and indices and were  partially  offset by
gains in energy, metals and softs.

       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

                                       11
<PAGE>


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 equity  maintained in
cash was earned on the monthly average 30-day U.S. Treasury bill yield. Interest
income for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000  increased  by
$53,142 and $1,122,962,  respectively,  as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1999.  The  increase in  interest  income is  primarily  due to the effect of
additions on the Partnership's  equity maintained in cash as well as an increase
in interest rates during the period.

       Brokerage  commissions  are calculated on the adjusted net asset value on
the last day of each month and, therefore, vary according to trading performance
and  redemptions.  Accordingly,  they  must  be  compared  in  relation  to  the
fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Commissions and fees for the three
months  ended  September  30, 2000  decreased by $61,028 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 increased by $1,210,019,  respectively,  as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1999.

       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,
subscriptions  and  redemptions.  Management  fees for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 2000 decreased by $64,592 and for the nine months ended  September
30, 2000 increased by $378,169,  respectively,  as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1999.

      Incentive  fees  paid by the  Partnership  are  based  on the net  trading
profits of the  Partnership  as defined in the  Limited  Partnership  Agreement.
Trading  performance  for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000
resulted  in  incentive  fees  of  $0  and  $(62,088),   respectively.   Trading
performance  for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1999 resulted in
an incentive fee accrual of $102,198 and $260,483, respectively.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk
         Introduction

      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 of 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.

      Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership
as the measure of its Value at Risk.  Maintenance margin requirements are set by
exchanges  to equal or exceed  the  maximum  losses  reasonably  expected  to be
incurred  in the fair value of any given  contract  in  95%-99%  of any  one-day
intervals.  Maintenance  margin  has been used  rather  than the more  generally
available  initial  margin,  because  initial  margin  includes  a  credit  risk
component, which is not relevant to Value at Risk.

      The following  table  indicates the trading Value at Risk  associated with
the  Partnership's  open positions by market  category as of September 30, 2000.
All open position  trading risk exposures of the Partnership  have been included
in  calculating  the figures set forth  below.  As of September  30,  2000,  the
Partnership's total capitalization was approximately $54,678,085. There has been
no material change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed
in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
