NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1996
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY
Everest Futures Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized on June 20, 1988 under the Iowa Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
The business of the Partnership is the speculative trading of commodity
futures contracts and other commodity interests, including forward contracts
on foreign currencies ("Commodity Interests") either directly or through
investing in other, including subsidiary, partnerships, funds or other limited
liability entities. The Partnership commenced its trading operations on
February 1, 1989 and its General Partner is Everest Asset Management, Inc.
(the "General Partner") a Delaware corporation organized in December, 1987.
The Partnership was initially organized on June 20, 1988 under the name Everest
Energy Futures Fund, L.P. and its initial business was the speculative trading
of Commodity Interests, with a particular emphasis on the trading of
energy-related commodity interests. However, effective September 12, 1991, the
Partnership changed its name to "Everest Futures Fund, L.P." and at the same
time eliminated its energy concentration trading policy. The Partnership
thereafter has traded futures contracts and options on
futures contracts on a diversified portfolio of financial instruments and
precious metals and trades forward contracts on currencies.
The public offering of the Partnership's Units of limited partnership
interests ("Units") commenced on or about December 6, 1988. On February 1,
1989, the initial offering period for the Partnership was terminated, by which
time the Net Asset Value of the Partnership was $2,140,315.74. Beginning
February 2, 1989, an extended offering period commenced which terminated
on July 31, 1989, by which time a total of 5,065.681 Units of Limited
Partnership Interest were sold. Effective May, 1995 the Partnership ceased to
report as a public offering. On July 1, 1995 the Partnership recommenced the
offering of its Units as a Regulation D, Rule 506 private placement, which
continues to the present with a total of $8,039,001.72 for 5,514.93 Units sold
July 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996.
On February 29, 1996, the Partnership amended its Agreement of
Limited Partnership permitting the Partnership to conduct its trading
business by investing in other partnerships and funds and in subsidiary
partnerships or other limited liability entities. Effective close of
business on March 29, 1996 the Partnership invested all of its assets in
another limited partnership, the Everest Futures Fund II L.P.
("Everest II"), a Delaware limited partnership in which the Partnership is
the sole limited partner. As a result, the Partnership does not currently
invest directly in Commodity Interests. Instead, the Partnership transferred
all of its assets to Everest II in return for its Everest II limited
partnership interest. Everest II invests directly in Commodity Interests
through John W. Henry & Co. Inc. ("JWH"), an independent commodity trading
advisor which had hitherto been the advisor to the Partnership.
Everest II has two general partners, Everest Asset Management, Inc. -
the current General Partner of the Partnership, and CIS Investments, Inc.
("CISI"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cargill Investor Services,
Inc., the former clearing broker of the Partnership and now the Clearing
Broker for Everest II. CIS Financial Services, Inc., an affiliate of the
Commodity Broker, acts as the Partnership's currency dealer. CISI and the
General Partner are registered with the CFTC as commodity pool operators and
are members of the NFA in such capacity.
On September 13, 1996 the Commission accepted for filing a Form 10 -
Registration of Securities for the Partnership, and public reporting of Units of
the Partnership sold as a private placement commenced at that time and has
continued to the present.
Upon ten days written notice, a Limited Partner may require the
Partnership to redeem all or part of his Units effective as of the close of
business (as determined by the General Partner) on the last day of any month
at the Net Asset Value thereof on such date. Notwithstanding the above,
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership,
the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, and on ten days' notice,
require a Limited Partner to redeem all or part of his Units in the
Partnership as of the end of any month. There are no additional charges to
the Limited Partner at redemption. The Partnership's Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership contains a full description of redemption and
distribution procedures. The Partnership may redeem its sole limited
partnership interest in Everest II effective as of the end of one business day
after such redemption request has been made. Everest II's Limited
Partnership Agreement contains a full description of that partnership's
redemption and distribution procedures.
Since commencing trading operations, the Partnership has engaged in
the speculative trading of Commodity Interests and will continue to do so
until its dissolution and liquidation, which will occur on the earlier of
December 31, 2020 or the occurrence of any of the events set forth in
Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Such events are (i)
an election to dissolve the Partnership made by over 50% of the Limited
Partnership Units at least 90 days prior to dissolution, (ii) withdrawal,
insolvency, or dissolution of the General Partner (unless a new general
partner is substituted), (iii) decline in the Net Asset Value of the
Partnership at the close of any business day to less than $300,000, or (iv)
any event which will make it unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to
be continued or requiring termination of the Partnership. The termination of
Everest II shall occur on the first to occur of the following:
(i) December 31, 2025; (ii) withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of a
General Partner or any other event that causes a General Partner to cease to
be a general partner unless (a) at the time of such event there is at least
one remaining general partner of Everest II to carry on the business of
Everest II, or (b) within ninety (90) days after such event, all partners
agree in writing to continue the business of Everest II and to the
appointment of one or more managing general partners of Everest II,
or any event which will make it unlawful for the existence of Everest II to
continue.
(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. All references to the "Partnership" herein shall mean Everest
Futures Fund, L.P. or its affiliate, Everest Futures Fund II, L.P. as the
context requires.
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 39
Reporting
Reporting in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 39 ("FIN 39") is not
applicable to the Partnership and the provisions of FIN 39 do not have any
effect on the Partnership's 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 andlosses 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 equal to between
20% and 50% of the Partnership assets at a rate equal to the average 90-day
Treasury bill rate for U.S. Treasury bills issued during that month. The
balance of the Partnership's assets are held in an account at Citibank, N.A.
invested in a range of government securities, Eurodollar, CD's, commercial
paper, at the discretion of Horizon Cash Management, LLC, an investment
advisor.
Commissions
The Partnership pays the Clearing Broker brokerage commissions equal to
0.5% of Partnership Beginning Net Asset Value each month. This amounts
to approximately 6% annually of the Partnership's average Net Asset Value
(NAV). Of this amount, the General Partner will receive approximately 83%
of the fees paid equal to approximately 5% of the Partnership's average NAV.
The General Partnership pays CISI a monthly co-general partner fee of 1/12 of
0.40% of the month-end NAV of Everest II.
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 in the Partnership's bank accounts and at Horizon Cash Management
LLC.
(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 statementswere made by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH"),
the Partnership's Commodity Trading Advisor ("CTA"). Pursuant to an
agreement between the Partnership and JWH, JWH receives 0.33% of the month-
end net asset value of the Partnership under its management. The
Partnership pays JWH a quarterly incentive fee of 15% of trading
profits achieved on the NAV of the Partnership allocated by the General
Partners to such Advisor's management.
The Partnership pays an annual administrative fee of $24,000 to CISI.
(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.
(5) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Partnership was formed to speculatively trade Commodity Interests. It
has commodity transactions and cash on deposit at its Clearing Broker.
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. Tomitigate 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 Clearing Broker does not engage in proprietary
trading and thus has no direct market exposure.
The counterparty of the Partnership for futures contracts traded in the
United States and most non-U.S. exchanges on which the Partnership trades is
the Clearing House associated with the exchange. In general, Clearing Houses
are backed by the membership and will act in the event of non-performance by
one of its members or one of the members' customers and as such should
significantly reduce this credit risk. In the cases where the Partnership
trades on exchanges on which the Clearing House is not backed by the
membership, the sole recourse of the Partnership for nonperformance will be
the Clearing House.
The Partnership holds futures and futures options positions on the
various exchanges throughout the world. The Partnership does not trade over
the counter contracts. 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 a contract with one CTA who makes all of the
trading decisions. The CTA trades aprogram diversified among the various
futures contracts in the financials and metals group. The CTA trades on U.S.
and non-U.S. exchanges. 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.
The following chart discloses the dollar amount of the unrealized gain or
loss on open contracts related to exchange traded contracts for the
Partnership as of September 30, 1996:
COMMODITY GROUP UNREALIZED GAIN/(LOSS)
FOREIGN CURRENCIES 82,593.42
STOCK INDICES (2,265.48)
ENERGIES 0.00
METALS 167,780.00
INTEREST RATE INSTRUMENTS 663,380.19
TOTAL 911,488.13
The range of maturity dates of these exchange traded open contracts is
December of 1996 to June of 1997. The average open trade equity for period
of January 1, 1996 to September 1, 1996 was $409,073.35.
The margin requirement at September 30, 1996 was $1,764,867.00. To meet
this requirement, the Partnership had on deposit with the Clearing Broker
$538,226.70 in segregated funds, $1,215,213.43 in secured funds, and
$522,791.35 in non-regulated funds.
(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 theinterim periods presented. These adjustments consist
primarily of normal recurring accruals.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results to be expected for the fiscal year.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 1996
The Partnership recorded a gain of $53,630 or $8.09 per Unit for the third
quarter of 1996. This compares to a loss of $62,170 or $55.79 per Unit for the
third quarter of 1996.
The first and second months of the quarter saw losses in currencies and
metals. Favorable positions in global interest rates and metals generated
solid gains in the third month of the quarter. Overall, the third quarter
ended positively for the Partnership's account managed by John W. Henry &
Company, Inc.
In July, sharp declines in the U.S. stock market weakened the dollar against
other key currencies as some investors fled U.S. assets in search of
opportunities overseas. In foreign exchange, the U.S. dollar lost ground
against the German mark and the Japanese yen as the prospect for a hike in
U.S. interest rates seemed more unlikely. Positions in gold and silver were
unprofitable as were positions in global stock indices. The Partnership
recorded a loss of $142,018 or $28.05 per Unit in July.
The Japanese yen, German mark and U.S. dollar fluctuated throughout the
month of August. Market participants in the financial markets remained
cautious, with few willing to take positions prior to key central bank policy
meetings and economic reports slated at month end. The German Bundesbank's
decision to sharply lower a key interest rate surprised the market and
sparked a European bond rally. The Japanese yen, German mark and U.S. dollar
fluctuated throughout the month. The Partnership recorded a loss of $58,269
or $11.52 per Unit in August.
In September, the U.S. dollar reached a ten-week high against the Japanese
yen, the German mark and the Swiss franc. Overseas investors followed
closely the budget reports of key European nations seeking to meet
Maastricht Treaty criteria for membership in the EMU. Convinced of the
commitment of these nations to the EMU and of the concurrent necessity for
low European interest rates to ensure economic growth, foreign investors
turned to higher yielding U.S. dollar-denominated assets. Foreign central
banks were heavy buyers of U.S. bonds. The Partnership recorded a
profit of $253,918 or $47.66 per Unit in September.
Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 1996 (cont.)
In September 1996, John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH"), the sole
commodity trading advisor of the Partnership, was named as a co-defendant
in class action lawsuits brought in the California Superior Court, Los
Angeles County and the New York Supreme Court, New York County. The actions,
which seek unspecifieddamages, purport to be brought on behalf of investors
in certain Dean Witter, Discover & Co. commodity pools, some of which are
advised by JWH, and are primarily directed at Dean Witter's alleged
fraudulent selling practices in connection with the marketing of those pools.
JWH is essentially alleged to have aided and abetted or directly
participated with Dean Witter in those practices. JWH believes the
allegations against it are without merit and intends to contest these
allegations.
During the quarter, additional Units sold consisted of 1,072.50 limited
partnership units; there were 6.58 general partner units sold . Additional
Units sold during the quarter represented a total of $1,568,494. There were
437.213 Units redeemed during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there
were 5,311.21 Units outstanding (including 53.27 Units
owned by the General Partner).
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership had no
credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange
which was material.
The Partnership currently only trades on recognized global futures
exchanges. In the event the Partnership begins trading over the counter
contracts, any credit exposure to a counterparty which exceeds 10% of the
Partnership's total assets will be disclosed.
See Footnote 5 of the Financial Statements for procedures established by
the General Partners to monitor and minimize market and credit risks for the
Partnership. In addition to the procedures set out in Footnote 5, the General
Partner reviews on a daily basis reports of the Partnership's performance,
including monitoring of the daily net asset value of the Partnership. The
General Partner also reviews the financial situation of the Partnership's
Clearing Broker on a monthly basis. The General Partners rely on the
policies of the Clearing Broker to monitor specific credit risks. The
Clearing Broker does not engage in proprietary trading and thus has no direct
market exposure which minimizes the likelihood that the Partnership will suffer
trading losses through the Clearing Broker.
Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 1996
The Partnership recorded a gain of $166,292.07 or $38.12 per Unit for the
second quarter of 1996. Favorable positions in global currency and physical
commodity markets generated profits in the first and third months of the
quarter. The second month of the quarter saw losses in metals and global
interest rates. Overall, the second quarter ended positively for the
Partnership's account managed by John W. Henry & Company, Inc.
In April, crude oil prices continued to surge upwards as refiners pushed to
replenish record-low inventory levels. The currency markets saw relatively
high U.S. bond yields which attracted investors to the U.S. dollar, thus
strengthening the dollar against the German mark and Swiss franc. The
Partnership recorded a profit of $131,251.60 or $33.11 per Unit in April.
In May, crude oil prices succumbed to political pressures and the expected
impact on world oil supplies of the long-anticipated U.N./Iraq oil agreement.
In the currency markets, the British pound declined to a two-year low against
the U.S. dollar early in the month, but rallied back by the end of the month
well ahead of the dollar as well as the German mark. The Partnership
recorded a loss of $119,022.14 or $27.99 per Unit in May.
In June, the metals markets were impacted by repercussions from the
Sumitomo copper trading losses and by an increase in the world supply of
gold; the result of selling by central banks. Crude oil prices reflected
continued inventory shortages and the renewal of tension in the Middle East.
The U.S. dollar reached a 28-month high against the Japanese yen early in the
month, but ended lower at month's end as investors turned to higher yielding
European currencies. The Partnership recorded a profit of $154,062.61 or
$32.994 per Unit in June.
Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 1996 (cont.)
During the quarter, additional Units sold consisted of 2,276.113 limited
partnership units and 100 general partner units. Additional Units sold
during the quarter represented a total of $3,313,644.33. There were 497.443
Units redeemed during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were
4,669.341 Units outstanding (including 46.697 Units owned by the General
Partners).
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership had no credit
exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange which
