PART I--FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
The statement of financial condition, statement of income and
statement of cash flows are filed as part of this report
immediately following the signature page.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity. All of the Partnership's assets are held in cash with
its clearing broker or other financial institutions. A portion of
the cash held by the broker is used to margin the Partnership's
futures trading. The Partnership's broker pays the Partnership
interest monthly on 80% of the Partnership's assets on deposit with
it at 100% of the average 90 day U.S. Treasury Bill rate for such
month.
Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have any commitments
for capital expenditures and does not project any capital
expenditures. All of its assets are committed to trading futures
contracts pursuant to the trading advice of an independent
commodity trading advisor.
Results of Operations. The Partnership's business is the
speculative trading of commodity futures and options contracts and,
possibly in the future, other commodity interests. The
profitability of the Partnership is based on its advisors' ability
to correctly anticipate market trends in the commodities traded
using their trading system and methodology.
The Partnership's Net Asset Value per Unit was $90.434 as of
September 30, 1997, $86.445 as of June 30, 1997 and $91.691 as of
March 31, 1997.
The Partnership is unaware of any unusual or infrequent events or
transactions or significant economic changes which materially
affected income from operations.
