NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
A. General
These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of Prudential-Bache Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the ``Partnership'')
as of March 31, 1996 and the results of its operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. However, the operating results for the interim
periods may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1995 (the ``Annual
Report'').
Certain balances for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
current financial statement presentation.
B. Related Parties
Seaport Futures Management, Inc. (the ``General Partner'') and its affiliates
perform services for the Partnership which include, but are not limited to:
brokerage services, accounting and financial management, registrar, transfer and
assignment functions, investor communications, printing and other administrative
services. A portion of the general and administrative expenses of the
Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was borne by
Prudential Securities Incorporated (``PSI'') and its affiliates.
Costs and expenses charged to the Partnership for these services for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were:

</TABLE>
Expenses payable to the General Partner and its affiliates (which are
included in accrued expenses) as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were
$11,850 and $9,300, respectively.
The Partnership maintains its trading and cash accounts at PSI, the
Partnership's commodity broker and an affiliate of the General Partner.
Approximately 75% of the Partnership's net assets is invested in
interest-bearing U.S. Government obligations (primarily U.S. Treasury bills), a
significant portion of which is utilized for margin purposes for the
Partnership's commodity trading activities. As described in the Annual Report,
all commissions for brokerage services are paid to PSI.
When the Partnership engages in forward foreign currency transactions, it
trades with PSI who simultaneously engages in back-to-back transactions with an
affiliate who, pursuant to the Partnership's prospectus, is obligated to charge
a competitive price.
C. Credit and Market Risk
Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options
contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts
(market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of
the contracts (credit risk).
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Futures, forward and options contracts involve varying degrees of off-balance
sheet risk; and changes in the level of volatility of interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates or the market values of the contracts (or commodities
underlying the contracts) frequently result in changes in the Partnership's
unrealized gain (loss) on open commodity positions reflected in the statements
of financial condition. The Partnership's exposure to market risk is influenced
by a number of factors including the relationships among the contracts held by
the Partnership as well as the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts
are traded.
Futures and options contracts are traded on organized exchanges and are thus
distinguished from forward contracts which are entered into privately by the
parties. The credit risks associated with futures and options contracts are
typically perceived to be less than those associated with forward contracts,
because exchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the
collective credit (subject to certain limitations) of the members of the
exchanges is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange. On the
other hand, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its broker (PSI)
with respect to forward transactions. The Partnership presents unrealized gains
and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of
financial condition because it has a master netting agreement with PSI.
The General Partner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by
requiring the Partnership's trading manager to abide by various trading
limitations and policies. The General Partner monitors compliance with these
trading limitations and policies which include, but are not limited to,
executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties (currently
PSI is the sole counterparty or broker); limiting the amount of margin or
premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and
generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient
volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. The General Partner
may impose additional restrictions (through modifications of such trading
limitations and policies) upon the trading activities of the trading manager as
it, in good faith, deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership.
PSI, when acting as the Partnership's futures commission merchant in
accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures and options
contracts, is required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'')
regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the
Partnership all assets of the Partnership relating to domestic futures and
options trading and is not to commingle such assets with other assets of PSI. At
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, such segregated assets totalled
$11,175,944 and $10,874,252, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations
also requires PSI to secure assets of the Partnership related to foreign futures
trading which totalled $7,483,063 and $8,704,525 at March 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related
to forward trading.
As of March 31, 1996, open forward contracts mature within six months, but
open futures contracts mature within one year. As of December 31, 1995, open
forward contracts mature within three months, but open future contracts mature
within one year.
At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 gross contract amounts of open
futures and forward contracts are:

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Included in the gross forward contract amounts are offsetting commitments to
purchase and to sell the same currency on the same date in the future. The
commitments are economically offsetting but are not, as a technical matter,
offset in the forward market until the settlement date.
The gross contract amounts represent the Partnership's potential involvement
in a particular class of financial instrument (if it were to take or make
delivery on an underlying futures contract). The gross contract amounts
significantly exceed the future cash requirements as the Partnership intends to
close out open positions prior to settlement and thus is generally subject only
to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As
such, the Partnership considers the ``fair value'' of its futures and forward
contracts to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts (plus premiums
on options). Thus, the amount at risk associated with counterparty
nonperformance of all contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the
statements of financial condition. The market risk associated with the
Partnership's commitments to sell is unlimited since the Partnership's potential
involvement is to make delivery of an underlying commodity at the contract
price; therefore, it must repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices.
At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the fair value of futures and
forward contracts were:

(a limited partnership)
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership commenced operations on October 19, 1988 with gross proceeds
of $30,107,800. After accounting for organizational and offering expenses, the
Partnership's net proceeds were $29,387,470.
At March 31, 1996, 100% of the Partnership's total net assets were allocated
to commodities trading. A significant portion of net assets was held in U.S.
Treasury bills (which represented approximately 74% of net assets at March 31,
1996 prior to redemptions payable) and cash which are used as margin for the
Partnership's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the sole business of the
Partnership is to trade in commodities, the Partnership continues to own such
liquid assets to be used as margin.
The percentage that the U.S. Treasury bills bear to the net assets varies
each day, and from month to month, as the market values of commodity interests
change. The balance of the net assets is held in cash. All interest earned on
the Partnership's interest-bearing funds is paid to the Partnership.
The commodities contracts are subject to periods of illiquidity because of
market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example,
commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity futures contract
prices during a single day by regulations referred to as ``daily limits.''
During a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
Once the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily
limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market
conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its commodity
futures positions.
Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options
contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts
(market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of
the contracts (credit risk). The General Partner attempts to minimize these
risks by requiring the Partnership's trading manager to abide by various trading
limitations and policies. See Note C to the financial statements for a further
discussion on the credit and market risks associated with the Partnership's
futures, forward and options contracts.
The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital
assets.
Redemptions by limited partners and the general partner recorded for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 were $461,820 and $987,083, respectively.
Redemptions by limited partners and the general partner from commencement of
operations (October 19, 1988) through March 31, 1996 totalled $37,831,607 and
$987,083, respectively. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds
available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.
Results of Operations
The net asset value per Unit as of March 31, 1996 was $322.05, a decrease of
1.36% from the December 31, 1995 net asset value per Unit of $326.48.
The Partnership's performance was positive in the month of January. Profits
were earned in the currency, financial, stock indices and metals sectors, but
were partially offset by losses incurred in the energies, grains and softs
sectors. The primary influence in the markets was the U.S. dollar, which rose
against most currencies and hit its highest level in two years against the
Japanese yen. Trading in foreign exchange, particularly selling the Swiss franc,
Japanese yen and German mark, generated the majority of profits. Interest rate
markets also provided profit opportunities as European bonds rallied during the
month. As a result, positions in the Matif bond, German bund, Italian bond and
Australian long bond were profitable. Trading in stock indices was profitable
overall, particularly in the Nikkei. U.S. bonds were not profitable. In the
non-financial sectors, crude oil prices plummeted in January, reversing a
lengthy uptrend that had fueled performance for the past several months. As a
result, crude oil positions were negatively impacted and losses were incurred.
Late in the month, gold began to move up strongly from the increasingly narrow
price range below $400 where it had traded for several years. Buying gold reaped
profits, but these were offset by
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
losses in silver. Coffee prices surged early in January reversing a long
downtrend, which led to flat returns. Trading in other commodities such as
cotton, sugar and corn was unprofitable.
The Partnership performance was negative in the month of February. Profits
earned in the grains were offset by losses in the currencies, financials,
metals, stock indices, energies, and softs sectors. After an impressive start to
the year, the U.S. dollar slumped against major currencies in February, despite
efforts by the Bank of Japan to support the dollar against the yen, resulting in
unprofitable currency positions. Global bonds reversed a long-term trend of
declining interest rates, negatively impacting positions in the European and
Japanese bond markets; however, positions in U.S. bonds were profitable. The
price of gold fell back below the $400 level only one month after breaking that
threshold for the first time in over two years, producing trading losses in that
area. Prices in the energy sector remained strong for most of February but
weakened at month's end as stronger than anticipated inventories and forecasts
of warmer weather took a toll. Crude oil prices recovered mid-February from a
previous decline only to tumble again at month's end, which negatively impacted
positions. Trading in heating oil was profitable. In the grains sector, gains
were realized in corn where low grain stocks worldwide continued to remain a
factor in the market.
The Partnership's performance was positive in the month of March. Profits
were earned in the currencies, financials, and energies sectors. Losses were
incurred in the metals and stock indices sectors. In the currency markets,
trading in the Japanese yen and Australian dollar was profitable for the
Partnership. Political tensions between China and Taiwan provided a temporary
flight to the U.S. dollar as a safe haven. Trading was volatile in the
financials sector, reflecting investors' confusion over the state of the U.S.
economy and uncertainty over the direction of German and Japanese interest
rates. Solid gains were posted in most long-term bond positions, as interest
rates advanced for the second consecutive month, reversing a long-term decline.
Profits were realized in heating and crude oil as a late season cold snap in the
Northeastern United States and snowstorms in the Midwest heightened demand for
heating oil. Reports of a wheat fungus in the U.S. boosted demand for corn as an
alternate crop and feed for animals; however, profits in corn were offset by
losses in soybean by-products.
Interest income from U.S. Treasury bills increased by approximately $16,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1995 primarily due to increases in funds available for investment in
U.S. Treasury bills caused by strong trading performance offset, in part, by
decreases in funds available as a result of redemptions and a decline in
interest rates in 1996.
Commissions are calculated on the Partnership's net asset value on the first
day of each month and, therefore, vary monthly according to trading performance
and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared to the fluctuations in the
monthly net asset values. Commissions increased by approximately $71,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in
1995 primarily due to increasing monthly net asset values as a result of strong
trading performance from February 1995 to April 1995.
All trading decisions for the Partnership are made by John W. Henry & Co.,
Inc. (the ``Trading Manager''). Management fees are calculated on the
Partnership's net asset value at the end of the month and, therefore, are
affected by trading performance and redemptions. Management fees increased by
approximately $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to the same reasons commissions
increased as discussed above.
Incentive fees are based on the New High Net Trading Profits generated by the
Trading Manager as defined in the Advisory Agreement, as amended, between the
Partnership, the General Partner and the Trading Manager. No incentive fees were
earned for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Incentive fees for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 were approximately $184,000.
General and administrative expenses include audit, tax and legal fees as well
as printing and postage costs. General and administrative expenses increased
approximately $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to an increase in printing costs.

FOREIGN CURRENCY ADDENDUM
This addendum ("Addendum) supplements the terms and conditions of
the Futures Account Client Agreement ("Agreement") entered into by and
between Prudential-Bache Diversified Futures Fund L.P. ("Customer")
and Prudential Securities Incorporated ("PSI") as of ___________, 199__.
In consideration of PSI agreeing to enter into various forward and
spot foreign currency and foreign currency options transactions
(collectively "Forex Contracts") with Customer, the parties agree
as follows:
1. Relationship to Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in
this Addendum, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect, and shall apply to all Forex Contracts that
PSI may transact with Customer. If there are any conflicts between
the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Addendum, the terms
and conditions of this Addendum will govern with respect to Forex
Contracts.
2. Forex Contracts. PSI and Customer will each act as principals
with respect to Forex Contracts. Forex Contracts will be transacted within
the non-regulated portion of Customer's PSI futures account. Customer
acknowledges that Forex Contracts are not traded on or guaranteed by a
regulated exchange or its clearing house and accordingly, acknowledges
that trading in Forex Contracts is not subject to the same regulatory
or financial protections as is trading in futures contracts. Customer
represents and warrants that (a) it is authorized to enter into Forex
Contracts, (b) it understands that as principal opposite PSI the parties
will each be relying on the creditworthiness of the other, (c) each
Forex Contract will be individually negotiated as to its material
economic terms, and (d) PSI will be entitled to rely on any instructions,
notices and communications that it reasonably believes to have originated
with any authorized representative of Customer, including a person with
a Power of Attorney over trading decisions, and Customer shall be
bound thereby.
3. Limits. This Addendum does not evidence a commitment of PSI
or Customer to enter into Forex Contracts generally or to enter into
any specific Forex Contract. PSI shall have the right to set limits
on the number of Forex Contracts that PSI will transact with Customer.
PSI reserves the right to increase or decrease such limits as, in PSI's
good faith judgment, market and economic conditions warrant, including
but not limited to the material change in Customer's credit rating or
Customer's country or sovereign rating by an internationally recognized
rating agency. Additionally, PSI reserves the right, exercisable at
any time when warranted by market conditions in PSI's sole discretion,
to refuse acceptance of Customer's orders.
4. Confirmations. Upon entering into a Forex Contract with
Customer, PSI shall verbally confirm the economic terms to Customer
followed by a written confirmation (via letter, telex, facsimile or
telecopier at PSI's election) (the "Confirmation) specifying the
amount of
<PAGE>
foreign currency bought or sold by Customer against U.S.
dollars or another foreign currency, the exchange rate, and the date
on which, and the location where, the currency is to be delivered.
Confirmations shall be conclusive and binding on Customer unless
Customer promptly notifies PSI of any objection within three (3) days
of receipt by Customer of the Confirmation.
5. Collateral; Settlement. PSI reserves the right to require
customer to deposit collateral with respect to Forex Contract
transactions. All Forex Contracts will be transacted pursuant
to a line of credit or will be otherwise collateralized at PSI's
option, and will be subject to the netting provisions set forth in
Section 8 below. All payments due under a Forex Contract shall be
made by wire transfer on the delivery date specified in the Confirmation
in immediately available funds in the designated currency. In the
event that either party's performance of its payment obligations
shall be interrupted or delayed by reason of war, riot, civil
commotion, sovereign conduct or other acts of state, the time of
performance of such party's obligations shall be extended for the
period of such interruption.
6. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute between Customer and PSI
relating to Customer's Forex Contracts shall be settled and determined
by an arbitration panel of either the New York Stock Exchange, the
National Association of Securities Dealers Inc., or the National
Futures Association as Customer may elect, or if the foregoing qualified
forums decline to arbitrate such dispute, before such forum as may be
agreed upon between the parties. At such time that PSI notifies Customer
of its intent to submit a claim to arbitration Customer will have seven
business days to elect a qualified forum for conducting the proceeding.
If Customer fails to notify PSI of its selection within seven business
days, PSI shall have the absolute right to make such selection.
7. Governing Law. The interpretation and enforcement of this
Addendum (and the Forex Contracts covered hereunder) and the rights,
obligations and remedies of the parties shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to principles of choice of law.
8. Netting Provisions.
(a) Netting by Novation. Unless separately agreed and set out
in the Confirmation regarding a specific Forex Contract, each Forex
Contract made between Customer and PSI will immediately, upon its
being entered into, be netted with all then existing Forex Contracts
between Customer and PSI for the same paired currencies having the
same delivery date. Each Forex Contract containing an obligation to
deliver that has been netted pursuant to the foregoing shall immediately
be deemed cancelled and simultaneously replaced by a single transaction.
For purposes hereof, each Forex Contract shall be deemed a Forex
Contract from and after its inception for all purposes.
(b) Payment Netting. If on any delivery date more than one
delivery of a particular currency is to be made between Customer and
PSI pursuant to a Forex Contract,
2
<PAGE>
each party shall aggregate the amounts deliverable by it and only
the difference, if any, between these aggregate amounts shall be
delivered by the party owing the larger amount to the other party.
(c) Discharge and Termination of Options. Any call option or
any put option written by a party will automatically be terminated and
discharged, in whole or in part, as applicable, against a call option
or a put option, respectively, written by the other party, such
termination and discharge to occur automatically upon the payment
in full of the premium payable in respect of such options; provided
that such termination and discharge may occur only in respect of
options:
(i) each being with respect to the same put currency and
the same call currency;
(ii) each having the same expiration date and expiration time;
(iii) each being of the same style, i.e. both being
America Style options or both being European Style options;
(iv) each having the same strike price; and
(v) neither of which shall have been exercised by delivery
of a notice of exercise;
and, upon the occurrence of such termination and discharge,
neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party in
respect of the relevant options or, as the case may be, parts thereof
so terminated and discharged. In the case of a partial termination and
discharge (i.e., where the relevant options are for different amounts
of the currency), the remaining portion of the option that is partially
discharged shall continue to be a Forex Contract for all purposes of
this Addendum.
(d) The occurrence at any time with respect to a party of any of
the following events constitutes an event of default (an Event of
Default ) with respect to such party:
(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make,
when due, any payment under this Addendum or delivery required to be
made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the third
business day after notice of such failure is given to such party;
(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply
with or perform any agreement or obligation under this Addendum if
such failure is not remedied on or before the third business day after
notice of such failure is given to the Defaulting Party:
3
<PAGE>
(iii) Failure to Provide Adequate Assurances. Failure
by Customer to provide adequate assurances of its ability to perform
any of its obligations under this Addendum within three business days
of a written request from PSI to do so when PSI has reasonable grounds
for insecurity;
(iv) Bankruptcy. The Party - (A) is dissolved (other than
pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (B) becomes
insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing
its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (C) makes
a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the
benefit of its creditors; (D) institutes or has instituted against
it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or
any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other
similar law affecting creditors rights, or a petition is presented
for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such
proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such
proceeding or petition (1) results in a judgment or insolvency or
bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an
order for its winding-up or liquidation or (2) is not dismissed,
discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the
institution or presentation thereof; (E) has a resolution passed for
its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant
to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (F) seeks or becomes
subject to the appoint of an administrator, provisional liquidator,
conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official
for it or for all or substantially all of its assets; (G) has a secured
party take possession of all or substantially all of its assets or has
a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process
levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all of its
assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process
is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within
30 days thereafter; (H) causes or is subject to any event with respect
to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an
analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (A) to
(G) (inclusive); or (i) takes any action in furtherance of, or
indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any
of the foregoing acts.
(e) Close-Out Netting. If an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing in respect of a party ("Defaulting Party"), the other
party ("Non-Defaulting Party") shall be entitled in its reasonable
discretion, immediately and at any time and upon notice (unless such
notice cannot practicably be provided in the circumstances) to close-out
all Defaulting Party's Forex Contracts, and may in its reasonable
discretion at any time or from time to time upon notice (unless such
notice cannot practicably be provided in the circumstances) liquidate
all or some of Defaulting Party's collateral in Non-Defaulting Party's
possession or control on any commercially reasonable basis and apply the
proceeds of such collateral to any
4
<PAGE>
amounts owing by Defaulting Party to Non-Defaulting Party resulting
from the close-out of such Forex Contracts. Any such close-out of
Forex Contracts shall be accomplished by the Non-Defaulting Party:
(i) closing-out each such Forex Contract so that each such
Forex Contract is cancelled and calculating settlement amounts
equal to the difference between the market value (as determined by PSI
in good faith) and contract value of the Forex Contract or, in the case
of options, settlement amounts equal to the current market premium for
a comparable option (as determined by PSI in good faith); (ii) discounting
each settlement amount then due to present value at the time of close-out
(to take into account the period between the date of close-out and the
maturity date of the relevant liquidated Forex Contract using an interest
rate equal to PSI's cost of funds as determined by PSI in good faith);
(iii) calculating an aggregate settlement payment in an amount equal
to the net amount of such discounted settlement amounts as is then due
from one party to the other; and (iv) setting off the settlement payments,
if any, that Non-Defaulting Party owes Defaulting Party as a result of
such liquidation and all collateral held by or for Non-Defaulting Party
against the settlement payments, if any, that Defaulting Party owes to
Non-Defaulting Party as a result of such close-out; so that all such
amounts are netted to a single liquidated amount payable by one party
to the other party, as appropriate, on the business day following the
close-out.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above
regarding the Non- Defaulting Party's rights to close-out and value
Forex Contracts, if an event specified in clause (iv) of this sub-section
(d) has occurred, then upon the occurrence of such event, all outstanding
Forex Contracts will be deemed to have been automatically terminated as
of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant
proceeding, or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the
occurrence with respect to the party to such specified event.
The rights of PSI under this sub-section (e) shall be in
addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of any other rights
that PSI may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise).
9. Liquidated Damages. The parties agree that the amount owing
by one party to the other party hereunder is a reasonable computation
of the loss or gain it would have incurred or received on the obligations
between the parties governed by this Addendum and is not a penalty.
Such amount is payable as liquidated damages to the other party for
the loss of the benefit of its bargains and neither party shall be
entitled to recover additional damages in respect of such loss of
the bargain. The determination of such amount shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.
10. Understanding of Risks. Each party will be deemed to represent
to the other party on the date on which it enters into a Forex Contract
that it has the capability to evaluate and understand (on its own behalf
or through independent professional advice), and does understand, the
terms, conditions and risks of that Forex Contract and is willing to
accept those terms and conditions and to assume (financially and
otherwise) those risks.

11. Termination. Each party may terminate this Addendum at
any time on three (3) business days prior written notice. No such
termination shall affect any Forex Contracts entered into prior to
such termination and this Addendum shall continue to govern any such
Forex Contract.
