-----------
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-----------------------------------------------------------
A. General Description of the Partnership
Alternative Asset Growth Fund, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware
limited partnership which operates as a commodity investment pool.
The Partnership's objective is to achieve appreciation of its assets
through the trading of futures contracts and other financial
instruments.
B. Regulation
As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Partnership is subject to the regulatory requirements under the
Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934. As a commodity investment pool,
the Partnership is subject to the regulations of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.)
government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures
industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-
regulatory organization; and the requirements of commodity exchanges
and Futures Commission Merchants (brokers) through which the
Partnership trades.
C. Method of Reporting
The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the
use of certain estimates made by the Partnership's management.
Transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses
are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or
losses on open contracts (the difference between contract purchase
price and market price) are reported in the statement of financial
condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset
of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 39 - "Offsetting of Amounts
Related to Certain Contracts." Any change in net unrealized gain or
loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of
operations.
For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of
redemption value, Net Asset Value per Unit is calculated by dividing
Net Asset Value by the number of outstanding Units.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and short-term investments
in fixed income securities.

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------------------------
E. Brokerage Commissions
Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged
to expense when contracts are opened.
F. Income Taxes
The Partnership prepares calendar year U.S. and state information tax
returns and reports to the partners their allocable shares of the
Partnership's income, expenses and trading gains or losses.
G. Foreign Currency Transactions
The Partnership's functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it
transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar
are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date
of the statement of financial condition. Income and expense items
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated
into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains
and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are
reported in income currently.
H. Interim Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial
statements reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and
recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position as of September 30, 1999, and the results of operations for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
Note 2. GENERAL PARTNER
---------------
The General Partner of the Partnership is ProFutures, Inc., which
conducts and manages the business of the Partnership. The Agreement
of Limited Partnership requires the General Partner to contribute to
the Partnership an amount equal to at least the greater of (i) 3% of
aggregate capital contributions of all partners or $100,000,
whichever is less, or (ii) the lesser of 1% of the aggregate capital
contributions of all partners or $500,000. As of September 30, 1999,
$365,900 has been contributed to the Partnership by the General
Partner and its principals.
The Agreement of Limited Partnership also requires that the General
Partner maintain a net worth at least equal to the sum of (i) the
lesser of $250,000 or 15% of the aggregate capital contributions of
any limited partnerships for which it acts as general partner and
which are capitalized at less than $2,500,000; and (ii) 10% of the
aggregate capital contributions of any limited partnerships for which
it acts as general partner and which are capitalized at greater than
$2,500,000.

Note 2. GENERAL PARTNER (CONTINUED)
---------------------------
ProFutures, Inc. has callable subscription agreements with
Internationale Nederlanden (U.S.) Securities, Futures & Options, Inc.
(ING), the Partnership's primary broker, whereby ING has subscribed
to purchase (up to $14,000,017) the number of shares of common stock
of ProFutures, Inc. necessary to maintain the General Partner's net
worth requirements.
The Partnership pays the General Partner a monthly management fee of
1/6 of 1% (2% annually) of month-end Net Asset Value.
Note 3. COMMODITY TRADING ADVISORS
--------------------------
The Partnership has trading advisory contracts with several unrelated
commodity trading advisors to furnish investment management services
to the Partnership. Certain advisors receive management fees ranging
from 1% to 2% annually of Allocated Net Asset Value (as defined in
the trading advisory contracts). In addition, the trading advisors
receive quarterly incentive fees ranging from 20% to 27.5% of Trading
Profits (as defined).
Note 4. DEPOSITS WITH BROKERS
---------------------
The Partnership deposits funds with brokers subject to Commodity
Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and
broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the
deposit of cash with such brokers. The Partnership earns interest
income on its assets deposited with the brokers.
Note 5. OTHER FEES
----------
The Partnership employs a Consultant who is paid a monthly fee of 1/6
of 1% (2% annually) of month-end Net Asset Value for administrative
services rendered to the Partnership.

1% (1% annually) of month-end Net Asset Value for management services
rendered to the Partnership.
Note 6. DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

at the sole discretion of the General Partner. A Limited Partner may
request and receive redemption of units owned, subject to
restrictions in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.
ALTERNATIVE ASSET GROWTH FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

-----------
Note 7. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS
------------------------------------
The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and
foreign futures contracts and options on U.S. and foreign futures
contracts (collectively, "derivatives"). These derivatives include
both financial and non-financial contracts held as part of a
diversified trading strategy. The Partnership is exposed to both
market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of the
contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to
perform according to the terms of a contract.
Purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts
requires margin deposits with the brokers. Additional deposits may
be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange
Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and
assets from such broker's proprietary activities. A customer's cash
and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with
a broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds
subject to the broker's segregation requirements. In the event of a
broker's insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of
segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount
could be less than total cash and other property deposited.
The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit
with financial institutions in connection with its cash management
activities. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency,
recovery of Partnership assets on deposit may be limited to account
insurance or other protection afforded such deposits. In the normal
course of business, the Partnership does not require collateral from
such financial institutions.
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the
contracts. Theoretically, the Partnership is exposed to a market
risk equal to the value of futures contracts purchased and unlimited
liability on such contracts sold short. As both a buyer and seller
of options, the Partnership pays or receives a premium at the outset
and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the
contract underlying the option. Written options expose the
Partnership to potentially unlimited liability, and purchased options
expose the Partnership to a risk of loss limited to the premiums paid.
The fair value of derivatives represents unrealized gains and losses
on open futures contracts and long and short options at market value.
The average fair values of derivatives for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 are approximately $565,000 and $490,000,
respectively, and the related fair values as of September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 are approximately $1,340,000 and $(6,000),
respectively.
Net trading results from derivatives for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are reflected in the statement of
operations and equal gain (loss) from trading less brokerage
commissions. Such trading results reflect the net gain (loss)
arising from the Partnership's speculative trading of derivatives.

============ ============ ============ ============
The above amounts do not represent the Partnership's risk of loss due
to market and credit risk, but rather represent the Partnership's
extent of involvement in derivatives at the date of the statement of
financial condition.
The General Partner has established procedures to actively monitor
market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no
assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. The General
Partner's basic market risk control procedures consist of
continuously monitoring the trading activity of the various trading
advisors, with the actual market risk controls being applied by the
advisors themselves. The General Partner seeks to minimize credit
risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Partnership's assets
at financial institutions and brokers which the General Partner
believes to be creditworthy. The Limited Partners bear the risk of
loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective
investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and
redemptions received.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
A. LIQUIDITY: Substantially all of the Partnership's assets are
highly liquid, such as cash or cash equivalents, open futures
and option contracts and other financial instruments. It is
possible that extreme market conditions or daily price
fluctuation limits at certain exchanges could adversely affect
the liquidity of open futures and option contracts.
B. CAPITAL RESOURCES: Since the Partnership's business is the
purchase and sale of various commodity interests, it will make
few, if any, capital expenditures.
As of September 30, 1999, 9,369.313 Units are outstanding,
including 323.451 General Partner Units, with an aggregate Net
Asset Value of $14,138,970 ($1,509.07 per Unit). This represents
a decrease in Net Asset Value of $2,589,508 compared with
December 31, 1998. The decrease primarily relates to redemptions
of limited partner Units.
The Partnership's offering of Units of Limited Partnership
Interest terminated in 1991.
C. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Partnership's net income (loss) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 consisted of the following:
1999 1998
---- ----
Three months ended March 31 $ 103,496 $ (39,425)
Three months ended June 30 236,291 (982,967)
Three months ended September 30 (555,645) 2,283,080
---------- ----------
Nine months ended September 30 $ (215,858) $1,260,688
========== ==========
The Partnership's trading losses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 resulted from losses in the agricultural,
equity indices, foreign currency and interest rate markets and
were reduced by gains in the energy and metals markets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the net trading
gains resulted primarily from gains in the energy, interest rate
and metals markets and were reduced by losses in the agricultural
and foreign currency markets. They were further reduced by fees
and operating expenses which resulted in a net loss for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999.
The Partnership's trading gain for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 resulted primarily from gains in the interest
rate markets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership
had net trading gains primarily from income in the interest
rate markets which were reduced by losses in the agricultural,
equity indices and metals markets.
The General Partner, directly and/or indirectly through the
Trading Manger, has established procedures to actively monitor
market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no
assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. The
General Partner's basic market risk control procedures consist of
continuously monitoring the trading activity of the various
trading advisors, with the actual market risk controls being
applied by the advisors themselves. The General Partner seeks
to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining
the Partnership's assets at financial institutions and brokers
which the General Partner believes to be creditworthy. The
Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the
market value of their respective investments and, in certain
specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.
Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, the
Partnership's income or loss from operations may vary widely from
period to period. Management cannot predict whether the
Partnership's future Net Asset Value per Unit will increase or
experience a decline. Inflation is not a significant factor in
the Partnership's operations, except to the extent that inflation
may affect future prices.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
D. POSSIBLE CHANGES: The General Partner reserves the right to
terminate certain and/or engage additional commodity trading
advisors in the future and reserves the right to change any of
the Registrant's clearing arrangements to accommodate any new
commodity trading advisors.
The Year 2000 Problem
- ---------------------
Many existing computer systems use only two digits to refer to a year.
This technique can cause the systems to treat the year 2000 as 1900,
an effect commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Partnership,
like other financial and business organizations, depends on the smooth
functioning of computer systems and could be adversely affected if the
computer systems on which it relies do not properly process and calculate
date-related information concerning dates on or after January 1, 2000.
The General Partner administers the business of the Partnership through
various systems and processes maintained by the General Partner. The
General Partner's modifications for Year 2000 compliance are proceeding
according to plan and were substantially completed by September 1999.
Additional testing is scheduled to take place during the remainder of 1999.
Costs of this testing were included in previously approved budgets of the
General Partner and future Year 2000 expenses are expected to be negligible.
These expenditures are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the
General Partner's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in
future periods. The General Partner has and will continue to devote the
necessary resources to address any remaining Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner. The Partnership itself has no systems or information technology
applications relevant to its operations and, thus, has no expenses
related to addressing the Year 2000 Problem.
In addition to the General Partner, the Partnership is dependent on the
capability of the Advisors, the various commodity exchanges, the brokers,
and other third parties with whom the Partnership has material
relationships to prepare adequately for the Year 2000 Problem and its
impact on their systems and processes. The General Partner will monitor the
Partnership's direct service providers, and may, where deemed appropriate, seek
assurances from such service providers that they are taking all necessary
steps to ensure that their computer systems will accurately reflect the Year
2000. No assurance can be given that the service providers have anticipated
every step necessary to avoid any adverse effect attributable to the Year 2000
Problem, and there can be no assurance that the General Partner has
anticipated every step necessary to avoid any adverse effect on the Partnership
attributable to the Year 2000 issue. The failure of the Partnership's futures
exchanges, clearing organizations, venders or regulators to resolve their own
processing issues in a timely manner could result in a material financial risk.
The Advisors have taken action to identify any of their computer systems that
are Year 2000 vulnerable and have not reported any problems to the General
Partner. Advisors are expected to notify the General Partner in a timely
manner if they discover a Year 2000 vulnerable system and are unable to correct
it by January 1, 2000. Certain exchanges have successfully completed four
industry-wide tests in conjunction with the Futures Industry Association.
These tests revealed no problems related to the Year 2000 Problem for those
exchanges. The brokers are addressing their Year 2000 issues and have
participated in Year 2000 testing with various exchanges. The brokers
participated in the Futures Industry Association Y2K industry-wide test for
Year 2000 compliance during the first and second quarters of 1999. The General
Partner is monitoring the progress of the brokers and the exchanges in
addressing their Year 2000 issues.
The most likely and most significant risk to the Partnership associated
with the lack of Year 2000 readiness is the failure of third parties,
including the Advisors, the brokers, the exchanges and various regulators
to resolve their Year 2000 issues in a timely manner. This risk could
involve the temporary inability to transfer funds electronically or to
determine the Net Asset Value of the Partnership, in which case sales
could be suspended and/or redemption payments delayed until the
