                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)

1.    General

      Shearson Select Advisors  Futures Fund, (the  "Partnership")  is a limited
partnership  which was  organized  under the laws of the  State of  Delaware  on
February 10, 1987. The  Partnership is engaged 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 July 1, 1987.

       Smith Barney  Futures  Management  Inc. acts as the general  partner (the
"General  Partner") of the Partnership.  On September 1, 1998, the Partnership's
commodity  broker,  Smith  Barney  Inc.,  merged with  Salomon  Brothers Inc and
changed its name to 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 Travelers Group Inc. All trading  decisions are being made for the
Partnership by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (the "Advisor"). (see Note 5)

      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, 1998 and the results of its  operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.  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, 1997.

      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 statement 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
thereon,  at  September  30,  1998 and  December  31,  1997 was  $1,407,794  and
$306,078,  respectively,  and the average  fair value during the nine and twelve
months then ended,  based on monthly  calculation,  was $228,849  and  $331,109,
respectively.

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

                                      6

<PAGE>



business.  These financial  instruments  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  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.

      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

                                      7

<PAGE>



of the Partnership's  involvement in these  instruments.  At September 30, 1998,
the notional or contractual amounts of the Partnership's  commitment to purchase
and sell these  instruments was $99,040,609  and  $5,263,914,  respectively,  as
detailed below. All of these instruments mature within one year of September 30,
1998.  However,  due  to  the  nature  of  the  Partnership's  business,   these
instruments  may not be held to maturity.  At September 30, 1998, the fair value
of the  Partnership's  derivatives,  including options thereon was $1,407,794 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 decrease in liquidity,
no such losses occurred during the third quarter of 1998.

      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,  1998,  Partnership  capital
decreased 5.7% from $6,229,841 to $5,874,757.  This decrease was attributable to
the  redemption  of 287 Units  resulting  in an  outflow of  $708,294  which was
partially  offset by net income from  operations of $353,210 for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1998.  Future  redemptions  can impact the amount of funds
available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.

Operational Risk

      The General Partner  administers  the business of the Partnership  through
various  systems and processes  maintained by SSBH. SSBH has analyzed the impact
of the year 2000 on its systems and processes and  modifications  for compliance
are  proceeding  according to plan.  All  modifications  necessary for year 2000
compliance  are expected to be completed by the first  quarter of 1999.  In July
1998, SSB participated in successful  industry-wide  testing  coordinated by the
Securities  Industry  Association  and plans to participate in such tests in the
future.  The  purpose of  industry-wide  testing is to confirm  that  exchanges,
clearing organizations,  and other securities industry participants are prepared
for the year 2000.

      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

                                      9

<PAGE>



purchases or redemptions of Units in the Partnership infeasible
until such valuation was determinable.

      In  addition,   the  General  Partner  is  addressing  the   technological
implications that will result from regulatory and market changes due to Europe's
Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU").

      Risks to the  Partnership  exist in the lack of  experience  with this new
currency and the potential impact it can have on the Advisors'  trading program.
Risks  also  exist  in  the  failure  of  external  information  technology  and
accounting  systems to  adequately  prepare  for the  conversion.  This issue is
particularly   acute  in  the  area  of  the  exchanges,   clearing  houses  and
over-the-counter  foreign  exchange  markets  where the  futures  interests  are
traded. If the necessary changes are not properly  implemented,  the Partnership
could suffer failed trade settlements,  inability to reconcile trading positions
and funding  disruptions.  Such events could result in erroneous  entries in the
Partnership's  accounts,  mispriced  transactions,  and a delay or  inability to
provide  timely  pricing of Units for the  purpose of  effecting  purchases  and
redemptions.

      SSB has evaluated its internal  systems and made the necessary  changes to
accommodate EMU transactions on behalf of the  Partnership.  The General Partner
will  continue  to  monitor  and  communicate   with  the  Advisor  and  related
third-party  entities to assure  preparation for the EMU conversion and advanced
notification of impending issues or problems.


Results of Operations

      During the  Partnership's  third quarter of 1998,  the net asset value per
Unit  increased  33.7% from  $2,171.24  to  $2,902.55,  as compared to the third
quarter  of 1997  when  the net  asset  value  per  Unit  increased  15.2%.  The
Partnership  experienced  a net trading gain before  brokerage  commissions  and
related fees in the third quarter of 1998 of $1,697,359.  Gains were  recognized
in the trading of currencies,  U.S. and non-U.S.  interest rates and indices and
were partially  offset by losses in metals.  The  Partnership  experienced a net
trading gain before brokerage  commissions and related fees in the third quarter
of 1997 of $939,930.  Gains were  recognized in the trading of currencies,  U.S.
and non-U.S. interest rates, metals and indices.

      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  Advisor to
identify correctly those price trends. Price trends are influenced by,

                                      10

<PAGE>



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 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, 1998  decreased by $9,458 and
$17,955,  respectively,  as compared to the  corresponding  periods in 1997. The
decrease in interest income is primarily due to the effect of redemptions on the
Partnership's equity maintained in cash.

      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
and nine months  ended  September  30, 1998  decreased  by $11,935 and  $27,794,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997.

      All trading  decisions for the Partnership are currently being made by the
Advisor. 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,  1998  decreased  by $7,687 and  $18,567,  respectively,  as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1997.

      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, 1998
resulted in incentive  fees of $58,423.  Trading  performance  for the three and
nine months ended  September 30, 1997 resulted in incentive  fees of $32,255 and
$32,466, respectively.

                           PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

        Between May 1994 and the present,  Salomon Brothers Inc. ("SBI"),  Smith
        Barney Inc. ("SB") and The Robinson Humphrey Company,  Inc. ("R-H"), all
        currently  subsidiaries of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.  ("SSBH"),
        along with a number of other broker-dealers, were named as defendants in
        approximately  25 federal court  lawsuits and two state court  lawsuits,
        principally  alleging  that  companies  that make markets in  securities
        traded on NASDAQ  violated the federal  antitrust  laws by conspiring to
        maintain a minimum  spread of $.25  between  the bid and asked price for
        certain  securities.  The federal lawsuits and one state court case were
        consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the Southern District of New York
        in the  fall  of 1994  under  the  caption  In re  NASDAQ  Market-Makers
        Antitrust Litigation, United States District Court, Southern District of
        New York No. 94-CIV-3996  (RWS);  M.D.L. No. 1023. The other state court
        suit,  Lawrence A. Abel v. Merrill  Lynch & Co.,  Inc. et al.;  Superior
        Court  of San  Diego,  Case  No.  677313,  has  been  dismissed  without
        prejudice in conjunction with a tolling agreement.

        In consolidated  action,  the plaintiffs purport to represent a class of
        persons  who bought one or more of what they  currently  estimate  to be
        approximately 1,650 securities on NASDAQ between May 1, 1989 and May 27,
        1994. They seek  unspecified  monetary  damages,  which would be trebled
        under the antitrust laws. The plaintiffs also seek injunctive relief, as
        well as  attorney's  fees and the costs of the action.  (The state cases
        seek similar  relief.)  Plaintiffs in the  consolidated  action filed an
        amended  consolidated  complaint  that  defendants  answered in December
        1995.  On November 26,  1996,  the Court  certified a class  composed of
        retail purchasers.  A motion to include  institutional  investors in the
        class and to add class  representatives  was granted.  In December 1997,
        SBI, SB and R- H, along with  several  other  broker-dealer  defendants,
        executed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs.  This agreement has
        been preliminarily  approved by the U.S. District Court for the Southern
        District of New York but is subject to final approval.

        On July 17, 1996,  the Antitrust  Division of the  Department of Justice
        filed a complaint against a number of firms that act as market makers in
        NASDAQ   stocks.   The  complaint   basically   alleged  that  a  common
        understanding  arose among  NASDAQ  market  makers  which worked to keep
        quote spreads in NASDAQ stocks artificially wide.  Contemporaneous  with
        the filing of the complaint, SBI, SB and other defendants entered into a
        stipulated settlement agreement, pursuant to which the

                                      13

<PAGE>



        defendants  would agree not to engage in certain  practices  relating to
        the quoting of NASDAQ  securities and would further agree to implement a
        program to ensure  compliance  with federal  antitrust laws and with the
        terms of the settlement. In entering into the stipulated settlement, SBI
        and SB did not admit any liability.  There are no fines,  penalties,  or
        other  payments of monies in connection  with the  settlement.  In April
        1997,  the U.S.  District  Court for the  Southern  District of New York
        approved the  settlement.  In May 1997,  plaintiffs in the related civil
        action (who were permitted to intervene for limited  purposes)  appealed
        the district court's  approval of the settlement.  The appeal was argued
        in March 1998 and was affirmed in August 1998.

        The  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") is also  conducting a
        review  of the  NASDAQ  marketplace,  during  which  it  has  subpoenaed
        documents and taken the testimony of various  individuals  including SBI
        and SB personnel.  In July 1996,  the SEC reached a settlement  with the
        National Association of Securities Dealers and issued a report detailing
        certain conclusions with respect to the NASD and the NASDAQ market.

        In December 1996, a complaint seeking  unspecified  monetary damages was
        filed by Orange County,  California  against  numerous  brokerage firms,
        including SB, in the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court for the Central District of
        California.  Plaintiff alleged,  among other things, that the defendants
        recommended  and  sold to  plaintiff  unsuitable  securities.  The  case
        (County  of Orange et al. v. Bear  Stearns & Co.  Inc.  et al.) has been
        stayed by agreement of the parties.
