NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY
IDS Managed Futures, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1986 under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, was formed to engage in
the speculative trading of commodity interests including futures
contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities and related
options thereon pursuant to the trading instructions of
independent trading advisors. The general partners are IDS
Futures Corporation and CIS Investments, Inc. The clearing
broker is Cargill Investor Services, Inc. (the "Clearing
Broker"), the parent company of CIS Investments, Inc. IDS
Futures Corporation is an affiliate of IDS Financial Services
Inc. which acts as the Partnership's introducing broker and
selling agent. Effective January 1, 1995, IDS Financial
Corporation, the parent company of IDS Financial Services Inc.,
changed its name to American Express Financial Corporation and
IDS Financial Services Inc. changed its name to American Express
Financial Advisors Inc. These were solely name changes; the
management and structure of each company did not change.
Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") were offered by
IDS Financial Services Inc. commencing March 27, 1987. At the
end of the offering period, a total of 29,442 Units representing
investments of $7,372,260 had been sold. Selling commissions of
$353,280 were paid to IDS Financial Services Inc. Each of the
General Partners purchased 213 Units. The Partnership's initial
offering period ended and the Partnership began trading on June
16, 1987.
The Partnership was reopened to additional investment pursuant to
a new registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared
effective with the SEC on March 29, 1993. The maximum sales
allowed in this additional offering was $10,000,000.
The minimum subscription size for the reopening was $1,000 for
investors not affiliated with IDS. On January 31, 1994, a
registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective with
the SEC for purposes of offering $20,000,000 of Units in the
Partnership in addition to the unsold portion of the $10,000,000
of Units offered pursuant to the Prospectus dated March 29, 1993.
By December 31, 1994, a total of 25,571.16 Units representing a
total investment of $20,033,657 of limited partnership interest
had been sold in the combined offerings. Selling commissions of
$1,145,552 were paid to IDS by the new limited partners. All new
investors paid organization and offering expenses totaling
$1,202,003.During the period from December 10, 1994 through
December 31, 1994, subscriptions for 974.05 Units representing a
total investment of $701,402 of limited partnership interest were
received from investors which were accepted into the Partnership
as of January 31, 1995. These were the final subscriptions
received from investors before the close of the current offering.
Selling commissions of $38,670 were paid to IDS by the new
limited partners and all new investors paid organization and
offering expenses totaling $42,084.
On November 29, 1994, a registration statement on Form S-1 was
filed with the SEC to register $50,000,000 of Units in addition
to the unsold portion of the $20,000,000 offered pursuant to the
Prospectus dated January 31, 1994. The new registration
statement was declared effective with the SEC on June 26, 1995.
At the close of business on February 28, 1995 each Unit was
divided into three Units (the "3-for-1 split"), each of which has
a Net Asset Value per Unit equal to the previous Net Asset Value
per Unit divided by three. Accordingly, the total number of
Units outstanding tripled as of that date.
Commencing with the January 31, 1993 offering, the General
Partners modified the method in which they were reimbursed for
offering expenses that they advanced. All offering expenses
incurred in offering Units since March 29, 1993 were treated as a
single reimbursable amount. At the end of the offering (December
31, 1994), any excess of the aggregate Offering Expense charge
received by the General Partners over the actual offering
expenses advanced by them was rebated to those investors who
purchased Units during the entire offering since March 29, 1993.
Rebates were made pro rata based on the number of Units purchased
by each investor and were paid in cash. The payout to investors
equaled $671,399.88 and was paid to investors on approximately
April 1, 1995. Any rebate of less than $15 per investor,
however, was retained by the General Partners.
The Partnership shall be terminated on Dec. 31, 2006 if none of
the following occur prior to that date: (1) investors holding
more than 50 percent of the outstanding Units notify the General
Partners to dissolve the Partnership as of a specific date;
(2) withdrawal, removal, insolvency, bankruptcy, legal disability
or dissolution of the General Partners of the Partnership; (3)
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Partnership; (4) decrease in the
net asset value to less than $500,000; (5) the Partnership is
declared unlawful; or (6) the net asset value per Unit declines
to less than $125 per Unit and the General Partners elect to
withdraw from the Partnership.
(2)SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Partnership conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
practices within the commodities industry. The following is a
description of the more significant of those policies which the
Partnership follows in preparing its financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical
commodities and related options are recorded on the trade date.
All such transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
Realized gains and losses are determined by comparing the
purchase price to the sales price when the trades are offset.
Unrealized gains and losses reflected in the statements of
financial condition represent the difference between original
contract amount and market value (as determined by exchange
settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and
cash dealer prices at a predetermined time for forward contracts,
physical commodities and their related options) as of the last
business day of the quarter end.
The Partnership earns interest on 100 percent of the
Partnership's average monthly cash balance on deposit with the
Clearing Broker at a rate equal to 90 percent of the average
90-day Treasury bill rate for U.S. Treasury bills issued during
that month.
Commissions
Brokerage commissions, National Futures Association fees, and
clearing and exchange fees are accrued on a round-turn basis on
open commodity futures contracts. The Partnership pays
commissions on trades executed on its behalf at a rate of $50 per
round-turn contract to Cargill Investor Services, Inc. Cargill
Investor Services, Inc. then reallocates $30 per round turn
contract to American Express Financial Advisors Inc., an
affiliate of IDS Futures Corporation.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Trading accounts on foreign currency denominations are
susceptible to both movements on underlying contract markets as
well as fluctuation in currency rates. Foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars for closed positions at an average
exchange rate for the quarter while quarter-end balances are
translated at the quarter-end currency rates. The impact of the
translation is reflected in the statement of operations.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash represents
cash on deposit with the Clearing Broker in commodity futures
trading accounts.
(3) FEES
Management fees are accrued and paid monthly, incentive fees are
accrued monthly and paid quarterly, and General Partners'
administrative fees are paid annually and amortized monthly.
Trading decisions for the period of these financial statements
were made by John W. Henry & Co., Inc. ("JWH") and Sabre Fund
Management Limited ("Sabre"), the Partnership's Commodity Trading
Advisors ("CTAs"). Under agreements signed with these CTAs,
Sabre receives a monthly management fee of 1/4 of 1% of the
month-end net asset value of the Partnership under its management
and JWH receives 1/3 of 1% of the month-end net asset value under
its management. Sabre receives 18% of the Partnership's trading
profits, if any, in each quarter attributable to its trading and
JWH receives 15% of the Partnership's trading profits, if any, in
each quarter attributable to its trading.
The Partnership pays an annual administrative fee of 1.125% and
0.25% of the beginning of the year net asset value of the
Partnership to IDS Futures Corporation and CIS Investments, Inc.,
respectively.
(4) INCOME TAXES
No provision for Federal Income Taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements as each partner is responsible
for reporting income (loss) based on the pro rata share of the
profits or losses of the Partnership. The Partnership is
responsible for the Illinois Personal Property and Income Tax
based on the operating results of the Partnership. Such tax
amounted to $64,277 and $13,425 for the periods ended June 30,
1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively, and is included in
operating expenses in the Statement of Operations.
(5) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Partnership was formed to speculatively trade Commodity
Interests. It has commodity transactions and all of its cash on
deposit at its Clearing Broker at all times. In the event that
volatility of trading of other customers of the Clearing Broker
impaired the ability of the Clearing Broker to satisfy its
obligations to the Partnership, the Partnership would be exposed
to off-balance sheet risk. Such risk is defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 105 ("SFAS 105") as a credit
risk. To mitigate this risk, the Clearing Broker, pursuant to
the mandates of the Commodity Exchange Act, is required to
maintain funds deposited by customers relating to futures
contracts in regulated commodities in separate bank accounts
which are designated as segregated customers' accounts. In
addition, the Clearing Broker has set aside funds deposited by
customers relating to foreign futures and options in separate
bank accounts which are designated as customer secured accounts.
Lastly, the Clearing Broker is subject to the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule which requires the
maintenance of minimum net capital of at least 4% of the funds
required to be segregated pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act.
The Clearing Broker has controls in place to make certain that
all customers maintain adequate margin deposits for the positions
which they maintain at the Clearing Broker. Such procedures
should protect the Partnership from the off-balance sheet risk as
mentioned earlier.
The Partnership holds futures and futures options positions on
the various exchanges throughout the world. As defined by SFAS
105, futures positions are classified as financial instruments.
SFAS 105 requires that the Partnership disclose the market risk
of loss from all of its financial instruments. Market risk is
defined as the possibility that future changes in market prices
may make a financial instrument less valuable or more onerous.
If the markets should move against all of the futures positions
held by the Partnership at the same time, and if the markets
moved such that the Trading Advisors were unable to offset the
futures positions of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose
all of its assets and the partners would realize a 100% loss.
The Partnership has contracts with two CTAs who make the trading
decisions. One of the CTAs trades a program diversified among
all commodity groups, while the other is diversified among the
various futures contracts in the financials and metals group.
Both CTAs trade on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges. Such
diversification should greatly reduce this market risk. Cash was
on deposit with the Clearing Broker in each time period of the
financial statements which exceeded the cash requirements of the
Commodity Interests of the Partnership.
(6) FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION
The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented. These adjustments consist primarily of normal
recurring accruals.
The results of operations for interim periods will not
necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the fiscal
year.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 1995
The Partnership recorded a profit of $1,014,167 or $9.02 per
Unit for the second quarter of 1995. The first month of the
quarter was profitable with the strongest gains derived from
foreign currency markets. The next two months saw losses in
interest rates and foreign exchange. Overall, the second quarter
ended positively for the Partnership's accounts managed by John
W. Henry & Co., Inc. and Sabre Fund Management Limited.
The decline of the U.S. dollar continued in April, with the
U.S. dollar falling 19% against the Japanese yen, 15% against the
Swiss franc and 13% against the German mark. Therefore,
positions in the foreign currency and global interest rate
markets, including those of the United States, the United
Kingdom, France and Australia resulted in strong gains for the
Partnership. The Partnership recorded a profit of $1,296,375 or
$11.71 per Unit in April.
The fixed income markets in the U.S. rose steadily in May.
Behind this move were beliefs that the U.S. economy was slowing,
inflation is remained in check, and the federal reserve was
unlikely to raise interest rates again and would possibly lower
them in the next few months. Positions in U.S. and international
fixed income markets generated strong gains during the month, but
performance results in foreign exchange partially offset these
gains. As a result, the Partnership recorded a profit of
$532,948 or $4.83 per Unit in May.
The financial sector in the month of June was influenced by
economic and political uncertainties in several major countries,
specifically the U.S., Japan, Great Britain and Germany. The
global marketplace was also confronted with the mid-month G-7
meeting in Nova Scotia, the perception that the Bundesbank would
lower the discount and Lombard rates, and the continued
U.S.-Japan trade dispute. The failing Japanese economy and
problems in the banking sector contributed to the decline of the
Nikkei, which fell below 15,000 for the first time since August
1992. As a result of these uncertainties, the Partnership
recording a loss of $815,156 or $7.52 per Unit in June.
There were no additional Units sold during the quarter.
Investors redeemed a total of 3,063.91 Units during the quarter.
At the end of the quarter there were 107,664.51 Units outstanding
(including 1,934.10 Units owned by the General Partners).
Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 1994
During the second quarter of 1994, the Partnership recorded
a profit of $1,159,020 or $42.03 per Unit. The first month of
the second quarter was difficult due in part to losses in
interest rates and "soft" commodities. However, the next two
months saw profitable trends in physical commodities and
financials. As a result, the second quarter ended positively for
the Partnership's accounts managed by John W. Henry & Co., Inc.
and Sabre Fund Management Limited.
During April, the U.S. Federal funds rate was increased for
the third time in three months, causing U.S. bonds to weaken and
contributing to the overall decline in global fixed income.
Gains resulting from the continued strength of the Japanese yen
against the U.S. dollar were offset by losses in other
currencies. Further, trading in silver, soybean oil, cotton and
sugar was unprofitable. Therefore, the Partnership recorded a
loss of $110,329 or $4.63 per Unit in April.
In May, the downward trend dominating bond markets since
January continued. Overall, short positions in U.S. and European
interest rate markets resulted in gains and provided the primary
source of profits in May. Trading in foreign exchange was
unfavorable, with losses in the Japanese yen, German mark and
Swiss franc. Positions in crude oil generated gains, and long
positions in coffee were profitable as prices rose in reaction to
a freeze in the coffee growing regions of Brazil. The
Partnership recorded a gain of $716,242 or $27.29 per Unit in
May.
During the month of May, one of the General Partners had
some changes in officer positions. On May 25, 1994, John R.
Thomas resigned as President and Director of IDS Futures
Corporation and Janis E. Miller became President and Director as
of this same date.
After an extended period of lackluster trading, strong
trends began to emerge in currency markets during June. The U.S.
dollar declined against major European currencies, with long
positions in these currencies generating substantial gains. In
commodities, profits in crude oil outweighed losses in grains,
cotton and sugar. Crude oil prices rose as OPEC affirmed its
commitment to hold production to current levels. The Partnership
recorded a gain of $553,107 or $19.37 per Unit in June.
During the quarter, a total of 5,974 additional Units were
sold while investors redeemed a total of 135 Units. At the end
of the quarter there were 29,666.38 Units outstanding (including
559.98 Units owned by the General Partners). Additional Units
sold during the quarter represent a total of $4,778,839, before
the reduction of selling commissions and organizational costs of
$566,415.
Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 1995
The Partnership recorded a profit of $3,279,154 or $29.36
per Unit for the first quarter of 1995. The first month of the
year was difficult due in part to losses in global interest rates
and foreign exchange. However, the next two months saw
profitable trends in the financial markets. As a result, the
first quarter ended positively for the Partnership's accounts
managed by John W. Henry & Co., Inc. and Sabre Fund Management
Limited.
As a result of the 3-for-1 unit split on February 28, 1995,
the income (loss) per unit of partnership interest for January
and February as shown below was calculated by dividing the income
(loss) for each month by the Units outstanding for each month
times three in order to compare performance to the March income
(loss) per Unit.
In January the financial markets were impacted by
speculation regarding a possible Federal Reserve monetary
tightening as a further effort to moderate domestic economic
growth and inflation. The continued uncertainty regarding the
financial crisis in Mexico and possible ramifications of the
earthquake in Kobe, Japan also weighed on the financial markets.
Therefore, the Partnership recorded a loss of $725,716 or $6.68
per Unit (or $20.06 per Unit prior to the 3-for-1 split) in
January.
During the month of February, global political and financial
events, including the sudden demise of the British merchant bank,
Barings PLC, sent stock prices falling around the world and
investors rushing to safety in German marks and U.S. bonds. The
German mark benefited substantially from the uncertain state of
many world economies and gained steadily versus the U.S. and
other European currencies. There was a global lack of support
for the U.S. dollar as it declined against many European
currencies and sank to new postwar lows versus Japanese yen.
Long positions in foreign exchange and favorable positions in the
Japanese markets generated substantial gains for the Partnership.
As a result, the Partnership recorded a profit of $1,987,901 or
$17.85 per Unit (or $53.57 per Unit prior to the 3-for-1 split)
in February.
The decline in value of the U.S. dollar gained momentum and
accelerated in March. Market participants ignored efforts by
central bankers to support the dollar, including an unanticipated
move by the German Bundesbank to lower short term rates late in
March. By month end, the dollar reached yet another postwar low.
Positive performance during the month was dominated by strong
trends in foreign exchange. Gains in currency positions,
global interest rates and stock indexes resulted in the
Partnership recording a profit of $2,016,969 or $18.19 per Unit
in March.
The number of both limited and general partnership units
increased dramatically in the first quarter due largely to the
3-for-1 unit split on February 28, 1995. The 3-for-1 unit split
created an additional 72,932.75 limited partnership units and an
additional 1,289.40 general partner units. As a result of the
3-for-1 unit split, the profit (loss) per unit of partnership
interest as shown in the foregoing Statement of Operations and
the Statements of Changes in Partners' Capital was calculated by
dividing the January 1, 1995 Net Asset Value per Unit by three
for comparison purposes of performance to the March 31, 1995 Net
Asset Value per Unit (the January 1, 1995 Net Asset Value per
Unit was $657.24 per unit before the 3-for-1 split and $219.08
after the 3-for-1 split).
During the quarter, additional Units sold consist of 969.53
limited partnership units and 4.52 general partner units.
Additional Units sold during the quarter represent a total of
$701,402, before the reduction of selling commissions and
organizational costs of $80,754. Investors redeemed a total of
645.37 Units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there
were 110,728.43 Units outstanding (including 1,934.10 Units owned
by the General Partners).
Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 1994
During the first quarter of 1994, the Partnership recorded a
loss of $271,106 or $16.26 per Unit. The first two months of the
year were especially difficult as the interest rate and currency
markets were unsettled, showing little direction. March,
however, brought some stability to the markets. As a result, the
first quarter ended on a negative note for the Partnership's
accounts of Sabre Fund Management Limited but positive for John
W. Henry & Co., Inc.
Trading in the financial sector, particularly in global
interest rates which had contributed to much of last year's
substantial returns, began the year on a negative note. The
Japanese financial markets were unsettled due to the initial
failure of the government to generate support for its economic
revival package. Trading in foreign currency exchange was also
negative as the U.S. dollar seesawed against the German mark and
Japanese yen throughout the month. Therefore, the Partnership
posted a loss of $661,502.74 or $31.64 per Unit in January.
Considerable uncertainty and resulting volatility continued
in the financial markets in February. The Federal Reserve raised
its short term Federal funds rate potentially signaling higher
rates in the months ahead. Global interest rate markets reacted
sharply as prices fell around the world. In addition, the
speculation of a trade war between the U.S. and Japan caused
price fluctuations in the yen/dollar relationship. Overall,
profits in global interest rates were offset by losses in the
foreign exchange markets. The Partnership recorded a loss of
$506,529.42 or $22.22 per Unit in February.
March was a profitable month for both of the traders of the
Partnership. Accelerating worldwide economic and political
turmoil created sharp declines in global stock and bond prices.
Political unrest, including trade tensions between the U.S. and
Japan, an assassination in Mexico, instability in Russia and a
potential conflict in Korea weighed heavily on the financial
markets. Collapsing markets provided definite trend following
opportunities in which both traders were able to profit. Trading
in currencies, most notably the Japanese yen, German mark and
Swiss franc also contributed to gains. Increased investor demand
for silver caused a profitable uptrend for the traders. The
Partnership posted a gain of $896,925.61 or $37.60 per Unit in
March.
During the quarter an 2,966.45 additional Units were sold
while investors redeemed a total of 47.86 Units. At the end of
the quarter there were 23,827.77 Units outstanding (including the
559.98 Units owned by the General Partners.) Additional Units
sold during the quarter represent a total of $2,241,690, before
the reduction of selling commissions and organizational costs of
$264,513.60.
