             SMITH BARNEY INTERNATIONAL ADVISORS CURRENCY FUND L.P.
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   General:

     Smith Barney International Advisors Currency Fund L.P., (the "Partnership")
is a  limited  partnership  which  was  organized  on May  29,  1991  under  the
partnership  laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative  trading
of commodity  interests,  including  forward  contracts,  commodity  options and
commodity futures contracts on foreign currencies.  The commodity interests that
are traded by the  Partnership  are volatile and involve a high degree of market
risk. The Partnership commenced trading on March 12, 1992.

     Smith  Barney  Futures  Management  Inc.  acts as the general  partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), an affiliate of
the General Partner,  acts as commodity broker for the Partnership.  All trading
decisions for the  Partnership are made by Friedberg  Commodity  Management Inc.
and Trendview Management Inc. (collectively, the "Advisors").

     The accompanying  financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary for a fair presentation of the  Partnership's  financial
condition at June 30, 1996 and the results of its  operations  for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. These financial  statements present the
results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures  normally provided
in annual financial statements.  It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes 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.

     Due to the nature of commodity  trading,  the results of operations for the
interim  periods  presented  should not be considered  indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

3.   Trading Activities:

     The  Partnership  was formed for the  purpose  of  trading  contracts  in a
variety of commodity interests,  including derivative financial  instruments and
derivative  commodity  instruments.  The  results of the  Partnership's  trading
activity are shown in the statements of income and expenses.

     The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SB gives the Partnership
the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.

     All of the  commodity  interests  owned  by the  Partnership  are  held for
trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options
thereon,  at June 30, 1996 was  $178,750  and the average  fair value during the
quarter then ended, based on monthly calculation, was $145,387.

4.   Financial Instrument Risk:

     The Partnership is party to financial  instruments with  off-balance  sheet
risk,  including  derivative  financial  instruments  and  derivative  commodity
instruments,  in the normal course of its business.  These financial instruments
include forwards,  futures and options,  whose value is based upon an underlying
asset,  index, or reference rate, and generally  represent future commitments to
exchange  currencies  or  cash  flows,  to  purchase  or  sell  other  financial
instruments  at specific  terms at specified  future  dates,  or, in the case of
derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled
in cash or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on
an  exchange  or  over-the-counter  ("OTC").  Exchange  traded  instruments  are
standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are
negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options.
Each of these  instruments  is subject to various risks similar to those related
to the underlying  financial  instruments  including  market and credit risk. In
general,  the  risks  associated  with OTC  contracts  are  greater  than  those
associated  with  exchange  traded  instruments  because of the greater  risk of
default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.

     Market  risk is the  potential  for  changes in the value of the  financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes,  including interest
and foreign  exchange rate movements and  fluctuations  in commodity or security
prices.  Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.

     Credit risk is the possibility  that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with
respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange
or  clearing  organization  acts  as a  counterparty  to the  transactions.  The
Partnership's  risk of loss in the event of  counterparty  default is  typically
limited to the amounts  recognized in the  statement of financial  condition and
not  represented  by the contract or notional  amounts of the  instruments.  The
Partnership has concentration  risk because the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership's assets is SB.

     The  Partnership  engages in the  trading of forward  contracts  in foreign
currencies.  In  this  connection,  the  Partnership  contracts  with  SB as the
counterparty  to take future  delivery of a particular  foreign  currency.  In a
forward transaction,  cash settlement does not occur until the agreed upon value
date  of  the  transaction.  The  Partnership's  credit  risk  in the  event  of
counterparty  default is  typically  limited to the  amounts  recognized  in the
statement of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional

                                      7

<PAGE>



amounts of the instruments. At June 30, 1996 the net unrealized appreciation for
off-exchange traded forward currency contracts was approximately $165,550.

     The General Partner monitors and controls the  Partnership's  risk exposure
on a daily  basis  through  financial,  credit  and risk  management  monitoring
systems  and,   accordingly  believes  that  it  has  effective  procedures  for
evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the  Partnership is
subject.  These  monitoring  systems allow the General Partner to  statistically
analyze actual  trading  results with risk adjusted  performance  indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition,  on-line monitoring systems provide account
analysis  of  futures,   forwards  and  options  positions  by  sector,   margin
requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

     The  notional  or  contractual  amounts  of these  instruments,  while  not
recorded in the financial  statements,  reflect the extent of the  Partnership's
involvement in these instruments.  At June 30, 1996, the notional or contractual
amounts of the  Partnership's  commitment to purchase and sell these instruments
was $27,042,829 and $26,372,563,  respectively,  as detailed below. All of these
instruments mature within one year of June 30, 1996. However,  due to the nature
of the Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At
June 30, 1996, the Partnership had net unrealized trading gains of $178,750,  as
detailed below.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services.  Its only
assets are its equity in its commodity  futures trading  account,  consisting of
cash and cash equivalents,  net unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation) on open
futures  contracts and interest  receivable.  Because of the low margin deposits
normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements
may result in substantial  losses to the Partnership.  While substantial  losses
could lead to a decrease in  liquidity,  no such  losses  occurred in the second
quarter of 1996.

     The  Partnership's  capital  consists of the capital  contributions  of the
partners as  increased  or  decreased  by gains or losses on  commodity  futures
trading,  expenses,  interest  income,  redemptions  and  additions of Units and
distributions of profits, if any.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, Partnership capital decreased 20.5%
from $4,298,391 to $3,416,918.  This decrease was attributable to the redemption
of 124,855.8408  Units totaling  $1,196,664  which was partially offset by a net
gain from operations of $315,191 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Future
redemptions  can  impact  the  amount  of funds  available  for  investments  in
commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.

Results of Operations

     During the  Partnership's  second  quarter of 1996, the net asset value per
Unit  increased  6.6% from $9.50 to $10.13,  as compared to a decrease of .7% in
the second  quarter of 1995.  The  Partnership  experienced  a net trading  gain
before commissions and expenses in the second quarter of 1996 of $276,823. These
gains were  primarily  attributable  to the  trading of major and minor  forward
currency  contracts and were partially  offset by losses realized in the trading
of exotic  currencies.  The  Partnership  experienced  a net trading gain before
commissions  and expenses in the second quarter of 1995 of $124,616.  Gains were
recognized  in the  trading  of major and minor  currencies  and were  partially
offset by losses realized in exotic currencies.

     Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and
rapid  inflation  increase  the risks  involved in commodity  trading,  but also
increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends
on the  existence  of major  price  trends and the  ability of the  Advisors  to
identify  correctly  those price trends.  These price trends are  influenced by,
among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather,

                                        9

<PAGE>



governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national
and  international  political and economic events and changes in interest rates.
To the extent that market  trends  exist and the  Advisors  are able to identify
them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.

     Interest income on 85% of the Partnership's daily equity maintained in cash
was earned on the monthly  average  13-week U.S.  Treasury bill yield.  Interest
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $87,838 and
$185,552,  respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. These
decreases are primarily due to the effect of  redemptions  on the  Partnership's
equity  maintained in cash as well as a decrease in interest  rates in the first
and second quarters of 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.

     Brokerage commissions are calculated on the adjusted net asset value on the
last day of each month and, therefore, vary according to trading performance and
redemptions.  Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations
in the monthly net asset values. Commissions and clearing fees for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $111,232 and $255,213, respectively,
as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.

     Incentive fees are based on the new appreciation  generated by each Advisor
as defined in the  advisory  agreements  between  the  Partnership,  the General
Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996  resulted in a decrease in incentive  fees of $19,150 and $59,040,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.
