          EVEREST FUTURES FUND, L.P.

          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          March 31, 1997


          (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 recommended  the offering of its Units  as a
          Regulation D,  Rule 506 private placement, which continues to the
          present with a total of $18,549,301 for 11,289.15 Units sold 
          July 1, 1995 through March 31, 1997.

          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  and  losses  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 statements
          were  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.  To
          mitigate 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 CTA  was 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 a program  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 March 31, 1997:

          COMMODITY GROUP               UNREALIZED GAIN/(LOSS)

          FOREIGN CURRENCIES                          (92,310)

          STOCK INDICES                                  0.00

          ENERGIES                                       0.00

          METALS                                      (38,525)

          INTEREST RATE INSTRUMENTS                   246,890

          TOTAL                                       116,055

          The range  of  maturity  dates  of  these  exchange  traded  open
          contracts is  April of 1997 to  March of 1998.   The average open
          trade equity for the period of  January 1, 1997 to March 31, 1997
          was $405,474.

          The margin requirement at  March 31, 1997 was $887,925.   To
          meet this  requirement, the Partnership  had on deposit with the
          Clearing Broker $442,523 in segregated funds and $558,902 in
          secured 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  the  interim  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 March 31, 1997

          The  Partnership recorded a loss  of $30,215 but a gain of $8.17
          per Unit for the first quarter of 1997. 

          During  the   first  month   of  the  quarter,   the  Partnership
          experienced  gains primarily  as a  result of profits  in foreign
          exchange  rates, while  during the  next two  months losses  were
          recorded  due in  part to  the direction  of U.S  interest rates.
          Overall, the  first quarter of  fiscal 1997 ended  negatively for
          the  Partnership's accounts managed  by John W.  Henry & Company,
          Inc.

          In  January,   the  U.S.  dollar  continued   to  dominate  world
          currencies,  reflecting  both sound  economic fundamentals  and a
          policy,  shared by  both  the  U.S.  central  bank  and  Treasury
          administration officials,  in support  of a  strong dollar.   The
          Japanese  yen  suffered from  problems  in  the Japanese  banking
          sector.  Rising unemployment and weak economic numbers in Germany
          once  again drove the German  mark down against  the U.S. dollar.
          Trading  in  the  British  pound grew  increasingly  volatile  as
          prospects  for an  interest  rate increase  in Britain  weakened.
          Gold  prices  reached  a  three  year  low  at  mid-month.    The
          Partnership recorded a profit  of $462,923 or $70.99 per  Unit in
          January.

          In February, the U.S. dollar reached new highs against the German
          mark, Japanese yen and Swiss franc.  The Federal Reserve chairman
          hinted of a possible hike in interest rates which sent the dollar
          soaring. Volatility in global  interest rate markets continued to
          be  fueled by  speculation on  the direction  of interest  rates.
          Early in the month, central banks in Germany, England and the U.S
          announced  their decisions  to keep rates  stable.   In commodity
          markets, gold prices rose  as demand was rekindled by  the lowest
          spot prices  since 1993.   In  agricultural markets,  a two-month
          bull trend in coffee prices continued  as unfavorable weather and
          labor strife in South America threatened supply.  The Partnership
          recorded a loss of $334,934 or $44.81 per Unit in February.

          In March, speculation  over the direction of  U.S. interest rates
          unsettled  financial  markets  around  the world.    Rising  U.S.
          interest rates, unease over  first quarter corporate earnings and
          lofty  stock  evaluations  resulted  in  turmoil  in  U.S  equity
          markets.  In  Europe, renewed  speculation about a  delay in  the
          European Union's plans for economic and monetary union pushed the
          German mark higher against the U.S. dollar.  Agricultural markets
          recorded profits resulting from  persistent supply concerns.  The
          Partnership recorded a  loss of  $158,204 or $18.01  per Unit  in
          March.

          During the  quarter, additional units sold  consisted of 4,831.23
          limited  partnership  units  and  47.67  general  partner  units.
          Additional units sold during the quarter represented a
          total of $9,016,805.   Investors redeemed a total of  63.99 Units
          during the  quarter.   At  the  end  of the  quarter  there  were
          10,894.50 Units outstanding (including  108.52 Units owned by the
          General Partners).

          During the fiscal quarter ended  March 31, 1997, the  Partnership
          had  no material  credit exposure  to a  counterparty which  is a
          foreign commodities exchange.

          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 Partners review on
          a daily basis reports of the Partnership's performance, including
          monitoring of  the daily net asset value of the Partnership.  The
          General  Partners  also review  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
          provides the General Partners assurance that the Partnership will
          not suffer trading losses through the Clearing Broker.
