General

         Shearson Lehman Select Advisors Futures Fund L.P. (the "Partnership")
was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 10, 1987. The
Partnership engages in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts,
including forward contracts on foreign currencies, commodity options, and
commodity interests, including futures contracts on U.S. Treasury Bills and
other financial instruments, foreign currencies and stock indices. The
Partnership commenced trading July 1, 1987.

         Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. acts as the general partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), an affiliate of
the General Partner, acts as commodity broker for the Partnership. All trading
decisions are being made for the Partnership by John W. Henry & Co., and Sunrise
Capital Management, Inc.(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, 1995 and the results of its operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. 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, 1994.

         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.

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 contracts, 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 1995.

         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, redemptions of Units and distributions of
profits, if any.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, Partnership capital
increased 1.3% from $6,129,708 to $6,207,901. This increase was attributable to
net income from operations of $1,369,403 which was partially offset by the
redemption of 679 limited partnership Units resulting in an outflow of
$1,291,210 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Future redemptions can
impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract
positions in subsequent periods.

Results of Operations

         During the Partnership's third quarter of 1995, the net asset value per
Unit decreased 2.5% from $1,936.03 to $1,888.05, as compared to the third
quarter of 1994 when the Net Asset Value per Unit decreased 8.4%. The
Partnership experienced a net trading loss before commissions and expenses in
the third quarter of 1995 of approximately $15,000. Losses were recognized in
the trading of commodity futures in interest rates, agricultural products,
precious metals and stock indices. These losses were partially offset by gains
recognized in the trading of commodity futures in currencies.

         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. These price trends are influenced by,
among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather,
governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs



                                        7
<PAGE>   8

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 70% of the Partnership's daily average equity was
earned on the monthly average 13-week U.S. Treasury bill yield. Interest income
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased by
approximately $3,000 and increased by approximately $22,000, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 1994. The decrease in interest income
is primarily attributable to the effect of redemptions on the Partnership's
equity for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 1994. However,
interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased as a
result of an increase in interest rates during the nine months ended September
30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994.

         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 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 decreased by approximately $72,000 and $167,000,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1994. Effective July
1, 1995 brokerage commissions have been reduced to .667% of month-end net assets
(8% per year) from .833% of month-end net assets (10% per year).

         All trading decisions for the Partnership are currently being made by
the Advisors. 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 nine
months ended September 30, 1995 decreased by approximately $11,000, and $56,000,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1994.

         Incentive fees paid by the Partnership are based on the net trading
profits of the Partnership as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
Incentive fees were not earned in the third quarter of 1995. Trading performance
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 resulted in an increase in
incentive fees of approximately $31,000, as compared to 1994.
