NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION
------------
Tudor Fund For Employees L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized under
the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act") on
November 22, 1989, and commenced trading operations on July 2, 1990.
Second Management LLC (the "General Partner") was the general partner
for the Partnership during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and owned
approximately 197 units of general partnership interest. Tudor
Investment Corporation ("TIC"), an affiliate of the General Partner,
acts as the trading advisor of the Partnership. Ownership of limited
partnership units is restricted to either employees of TIC and its
principals or its affiliates.
The objective of the Partnership is to realize capital appreciation
through speculative trading of commodity futures, forwards, option
contracts and other commodity interests ("commodity interests"). The
Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2010 or at an earlier date if
certain conditions occur as outlined in Second Amended and Restated
Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of May 22, 1996 the ("Limited
Partnership Agreement").
DUTIES OF THE GENERAL PARTNER
-------------------------------
The General Partner acts as the commodity pool operator for the
Partnership and is responsible for the selection and monitoring of the
commodity trading advisors and the commodity brokers used by the
Partnership. The General Partner is also responsible for the
performance of all administrative services necessary to the
Partnership's operations.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
ACCOUNTING POLICY
-----------------
The financial statements presented have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
and, in the opinion of management of the General Partner, include all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of each period presented.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
---------------------
Commodity interests are recorded on the trade date at the transacted
contract price and valued at market or fair value.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS AND FEES
--------------------------------
These expenses represent all brokerage commissions, exchange, National
Futures Association and other fees incurred in connection with the
execution of commodity interests trades. Commissions and fees
associated with open commodity interests at the end of the period are
accrued.
<PAGE>
INCENTIVE FEE
-------------
The Partnership pays TIC, as trading advisor, an incentive fee equal to
12% of the Net Trading Profits (as defined in the Limited Partnership
Agreement), earned as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the
Partnership. Effective August 1, 1995, TIC waived its right to receive
an incentive fee attributable to units held by the TIC 401(k) Savings
and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "TIC 401(k) Plan").
MANAGEMENT FEE
--------------
The Partnership also pays TIC, for the performance of its duties, a
monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% per annum) of the
Partnership's net assets (as defined in the Limited Partnership
Agreement). Effective August 1, 1995, TIC waived its right to receive a
management fee attributable to units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
----------------------------
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at month-end exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions are calculated using daily exchange rates and are
included in the accompanying statements of operations.
U.S. Government Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
---------------------------------------------------------------
Securities purchased under agreements to resell are collateralized
investment transactions involving U.S. Government Securities and are
carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently
resold plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These
transactions are part of the Partnership's operating activities, and it
is the policy of the Partnership to take possession or control of all
underlying assets and to use such assets as collateral in connection
with its trading.
DUE FROM BROKERS
----------------
Due from brokers includes unrealized gains and losses on open commodity
interests,forward contracts pending settlement as well as cash, foreign
currencies and margin balances.
PENDING PARTNER ADDITIONS
-------------------------
Pending partner additions is comprised of cash received prior to the
last day of the quarter for which units were issued on the first day of
the subsequent quarter. Pending partner additions did not participate
in the earnings of the Partnership until the related units were issued.
NET INCOME/ (LOSS) PER UNIT
---------------------------
Net income/(loss) per unit is computed by dividing net income by the
monthly average of units outstanding at the beginning of each month.
<PAGE>
USE OF ESTIMATES
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes
that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are
reasonable and prudent, however, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
(3) CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
----------------
The minimum subscription amount is $1,000 for new Limited Partners.
Additional contributions may be made in increments of $1,000. Both
subscriptions and contributions may be made quarterly, at the beginning
of the respective month.
Each partner, including the General Partner, has a capital account with
an initial balance equal to the amount such partner paid for its units.
The Partnership's net assets are determined monthly, and any increase or
decrease from the end of the preceding month is added to or subtracted
from the capital accounts of the partners based on the ratio that the
balance of each capital account bears in relation to the balance of all
capital accounts as of the beginning of the month. The number of units
held by the TIC 401(k) Plan will be restated as necessary for management
and incentive fees attributable to units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan to
equate the per unit value of the TIC 401(k) Plan's capital account with
the Partnership's per unit value.
(4) REDEMPTION OF UNITS
-------------------
At each quarter-end, units are redeemable at the discretion of each
Limited Partner. Redemption of units in $1,000 increments and full
redemption of all units are made at 100% of the net asset value per unit
effective as of the last business day of any quarter as defined in the
Limited Partnership Agreement. Partial redemptions of units which would
reduce the net asset value of a Limited Partner's unredeemed units to
less than the minimum investment then required of new Limited Partners
or such Limited Partner's initial investment, whichever is less, will be
honored only to the extent of such limitation.
(5) INCOME TAXES
------------
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying
financial statements. Partners are responsible for reporting income or
loss based upon their respective shares of revenue and expenses of the
Partnership.
(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
The General Partner, due to its relationship with its affiliates and
certain other parties, may enter into certain related party
transactions.
<PAGE>
Bellwether Partners LLC ("BPL"), a Delaware limited liability company
and an affiliate of the General Partner, is the Partnership's primary
forward contract counterparty. Effective August 1, 1995, BPL ceased
charging commissions for transacting the partnership's foreign exchange
and commodity forward contracts. The Partnership typically has on
deposit with BPL, as collateral for forward contracts, up to 5% of the
Partnership's net assets.
Bellwether Futures LLC ("BFL"), a Delaware limited liability company, is
an affiliate of the General Partner and is qualified to do business in
Illinois. Effective January 1, 1996, BFL ceased collecting give-up fees
from the Partnership as compensation for assisting in the execution of
treasury bond futures by floor brokers on the Chicago Board of Trade.
TIC receives incentive and management fees as compensation for acting as
trading advisor (Note 2).
(7) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CREDIT RISK
-----------
During June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The
statement requires the Partnership to recognize all derivatives in the
statements of financial condition at fair value with adjustments to fair
value recorded through income. SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of Effective Date of SFAS
No. 133," amended SFAS No.133 to be effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001, for all companies with calendar-
year fiscal year). The Partnership has elected early adoption of SFAS
No. 133 and, accordingly, its standards are applied in the accompanying
financial statements. The Partnership has always maintained a policy of
valuing its security and commodity interests at market values or
estimated fair values and of including any unrealized gains and losses
in results of operations. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 has
not resulted in a valuation or an accounting change in the accompanying
financial statements.
In the normal course of business, the Partnership is a party to a
variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with
its trading activities. These activities include the trading of
financial futures, forwards, swaps, exchange traded and negotiated over-
the-counter options and the other commodity interests. These financial
instruments give rise to market and credit risk in excess of the amounts
recognized in the statements of financial condition. The Partnership is
subject to market and credit risk associated with changes in the value
of underlying financial instruments, as well as the loss of appreciation
on certain instruments, if its counterparties fail to perform.
TIC takes an active role in managing and controlling the Partnership's
market and credit risks and has established formal control procedures
that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. TIC attempts to minimize credit
risk exposure to trading counterparties and brokers through formal
credit policies and monitoring procedures.
<PAGE>
In order to control the Partnership's market exposure, TIC applies risk
management guidelines and policies designed to protect the Partnership's
capital. These guidelines and policies include quantitative and
qualitative criteria for evaluating the appropriate risk levels for the
Partnership. TIC's Risk Management Committee, comprised of senior
personnel from different disciplines throughout the firm, regularly
assesses and evaluates the Partnership's potential exposures to the
financial markets based on analysis provided by the Risk Management
Department. The Risk Management Department's responsibilities include:
focusing on the positions taken in various instruments and markets
globally; ascertaining that all such positions are accurately reflected
on the Partnership's position reports; and evaluating the risk exposure
associated with all of those positions.
The Partnership uses a statistical technique known as Value at Risk
("VaR") to assist the Risk Management Department in measuring its
exposure to market risk related to its trading positions. The VaR model
projects potential losses in the portfolio and is based on a methodology
which uses a one-year observation period of hypothetical daily changes
in trading portfolio value, a one-day holding period and one standard
deviation level. These figures can be scaled-up to indicate risk
exposure at the 95% or 99% confidence level.
Cash and due from brokers are due principally from high credit quality
international financial institutions.
Exchange traded futures and option contracts are marked-to-market daily,
with variations in value settled on a daily basis with the exchange upon
which they are traded and with the futures commission merchant through
which the commodity futures and options are executed. Forwards are
generally settled with the counterparties two days after the trade date.
In general, exchange traded futures and option contracts possess low
credit risk as most exchanges act as principal to a Futures Commission
Merchant ("FCM") on all commodity transactions. Furthermore, most
global exchanges require FCMs to segregate client funds to ensure ample
customer protection in the event of an FCM's default. The Partnership
monitors the creditworthiness of its FCMs and, when deemed necessary,
reduces its exposure to these FCMs. The Partnership's credit risk
associated with the nonperformance of these FCMs in fulfilling
contractual obligations can be directly impacted by volatile financial
markets. A substantial portion of the Partnership's open financial
futures positions were transacted with major international FCMs. BPL is
the Partnership's primary forward contract counterparty (Note 6).
Notwithstanding the risk monitoring and credit review performed by TIC
with respect to its FCMs and counterparties, including BPL, there is
always a risk of nonperformance.
Generally, financial contracts can be closed out at TIC's discretion.
An illiquid or closed market, however, could prevent the closeout of
positions.
<PAGE>
TIC has a formal Credit Committee, comprised of senior managers from different
disciplines throughout the firm, that meets regularly to analyze the credit risk
associated with the Partnership's counterparties, intermediaries and service
providers. A significant portion of the Partnership's positions are invested
with or held at institutions with high credit standing. TIC establishes
counterparty exposure limits and specifically designates which product types are
approved for trading.

liabilities resulting from unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
------- -------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
The Partnership commenced operations on July 2, 1990. Following the closing
of the initial offering period, the Partnership had 37 Limited Partners who
subscribed for 421 units for $421,000. In addition, the General Partner
purchased 400 units of general partnership interest for $400,000. The
Partnership had additions of $2,125,206 and redemptions of $1,896,534
during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 (the "Current Quarter"). From its
inception through July 1, 2000, the Partnership received total Limited
Partner contributions of $31,070,972 and had total withdrawals of
$25,916,309. In addition, the General Partner contributed $1,900,000 since
inception. The General Partner redeemed $2,000,000 on March 31, 1994 and
$1,400,000 on December 31, 1996. The General Partner's equity in the
Partnership as of June 30, 2000 was approximately $1,094,000 representing
6% of the Partnership's equity. At July 1, 2000, the Partnership had a
total of 90 Limited Partners.
As specified in the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may
accept investments from certain employee benefit plans to the extent that
such investment does not exceed 25% of the aggregate value of outstanding
units, excluding units held by the General Partner and its affiliates. On
August 1, 1995, the Partnership accepted an investment of $99,306 from the
Tudor Investment Corporation 401(k) Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the
"TIC 401(k) Plan"), a qualified plan organized for the benefit of employees
of TIC and certain of its affiliates. The Partnership has received TIC
401(k) Plan contributions in the aggregate amount from inception through
July 1, 2000 of $3,524,174. The TIC 401(k) Plan's equity in the
Partnership as of July 1, 2000 was approximately $3,836,789 representing
approximately 20.94% of the Partnership's equity or approximately 22.97%
excluding units held by the General Partner and its affiliates. TIC has
waived its right to receive management and incentive fees attributable to
units held by the TIC 401(k) Plan. The number of units of limited
partnership interest held by the TIC 401(k) Plan will be restated as
necessary to equate the per unit value of the TIC 401(k) Plan's capital
account with the Partnership's per unit value. Furthermore, BPL ceased
charging commissions for transacting the Partnership's foreign exchange
spot and forward and commodity forward contracts.
(1) LIQUIDITY
---------
The Partnership's assets are deposited and maintained with BPL, banks or in
trading accounts with clearing brokers, and are used by the Partnership as
margin and collateral to engage in futures, option, and forward contract
trading. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are collaterlized
investment transactions involving U.S. Government Securities and are
carried at the amount the securities will be subsequently resold plus
accrued interest, which approximates market. As of June 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, U.S. Government Securities purchased under agreements to
resell maturing July 3, 2000 and January 3, 1999 represented approximately
80% and 70% of the total assets of the Partnership. To the extent
necessary, such U.S. Government Securities are used by the Partnership as
collateral in connection with its trading activities. The percentage that
U.S. Government Securities purchased under agreements to resell bear to the
total assets varies daily and monthly, as the market value of commodity
interest contracts changes, as Government Securities are resold, and as the
Partnership sells or redeems units. Since the Partnership's sole purpose is
<PAGE>
to trade in futures, option, and forward contracts, and other commodity
interest contracts, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to
maintain substantial liquid assets for margin purposes. Interest income for
the Current Quarter was $324,407, compared to $209,017 during the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. This increase was due to an increase in the
Partnership's assets.
In the context of the commodity or futures trading industry, cash and cash
equivalents are part of the Partnership's inventory. Cash deposited with
banks represented approximately 4% and 19% of the Partnership's assets as
of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. The cash and U.S. Government
Securities purchased under agreements to resell satisfy the Partnership's
need for cash on both a short-term and long-term basis.
Since futures contract trading generates a significant percentage of the
Partnership's income, any restriction or limit on that trading may render
the Partnership's investment in futures contracts illiquid. Most commodity
exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity contract prices during a
single day by regulations referred to as a "daily price fluctuation limit"
or "daily limits." Pursuant to such regulations, during a single trading
day, no trade may be executed at a price beyond the daily limits. If the
price for a contract or a particular commodity has increased or decreased
by an amount equal to the "daily limit," positions in such contracts can
neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades
at or within the limit. Commodity interest contract 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 positions.
(2) CAPITAL RESOURCES
-----------------
The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any fixed
assets. Redemptions and additional sales of units in the future will
impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity interest
contracts in subsequent periods. As the amount of capital changes, the
size of the positions taken by the Partnership is adjusted.
The Partnership is currently open to new investments, which can be made
quarterly. Such investments are limited to employees of TIC or its
affiliates and certain employee benefit plans, including, but not limited
to, the TIC 401(k) Plan.

Since the Partnership is a speculative trader in the commodities markets,
current year results are not comparable to previous year's results. The
following table illustrates the Partnership's Net Trading Gains as a return
on average Net Assets, brokerage commissions and fees as a percentage of Net
Assets, and incentive fees as a percentage of Net Trading Gains.

In general, commission rates have remained stable during the past three
years. Professional fees and other expenses during the Current Quarter
ended remained stable as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
Inflation is not expected to be a major factor in the Partnership's
operations, except that traditionally the commodities markets have tended
to be more active, and thus potentially more profitable during times of
high inflation. Since the commencement of the Partnership's trading
operations in July 1990, inflation has not been a major factor in the
Partnership's operations.
(4) RISK MANAGEMENT.
---------------
In the normal course of business, the Partnership is a party to a
variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with
its trading activities. These activities include the trading of
financial futures, forwards, swaps, exchange traded and negotiated over-
the-counter options and the other commodity interests. These financial
instruments give rise to market and credit risk in excess of the amounts
recognized in the statements of financial condition. The Partnership is
subject to market and credit risk associated with changes in the value
of underlying financial instruments, as well as the loss of appreciation
on certain instruments if its counterparties fail to perform.
TIC takes an active role in managing and controlling the Partnership's
market and credit risks and has established formal control procedures
that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. TIC attempts to minimize credit
risk exposure to trading counterparties and brokers through formal
credit policies and monitoring procedures.
In order to control the Partnership's market exposure, TIC applies risk
management guidelines and policies designed to protect the Partnership's
capital. These guidelines and policies include quantitative and
qualitative criteria for evaluating the appropriate risk levels for the
Partnership. TIC's Risk Management Committee, comprised of senior
personnel from different disciplines throughout the firm, regularly
assesses and evaluates the Partnership's potential exposures to the
financial markets based on analysis provided by the Risk Management
Department. The Risk Management Department's responsibilities include:
focusing on the positions taken in various instruments and markets
globally; ascertaining that all such positions are accurately
<PAGE>
reflected on the Partnership's position reports; and evaluating the risk
exposure associated with all of those positions.
The Partnership uses a statistical technique known as Value at Risk
("VaR") to assist the Risk Management Department in measuring its
exposure to market risk related to its trading positions. The VaR model
projects potential losses in the portfolio and is based on a methodology
which uses a one-year observation period of hypothetical daily changes
in trading portfolio value, a one-day holding period and one standard
deviation level. These figures can be scaled-up to indicate risk
exposure at the 95% or 99% confidence level.
TIC has a formal Credit Committee, comprised of senior managers from
different disciplines throughout the firm, that meets regularly to
analyze the credit risk associated with the Partnership's
counterparties, intermediaries and service providers. A significant
portion of the Partnership's positions are invested with or held at
institutions with high credit standing. TIC establishes counterparty
exposure limits and specifically designates which product types are
approved for trading.
The following table illustrates the VaR for each component of market
risk as of June 30, 2000. The dollar values represent the VaR assuming
a 1.65 standard deviation move in each of the financial instruments
indicated.
