1. General:

     Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership  organized  under the laws of the State of New York,  on August  13,
1993  to  engage  in the  speculative  trading  of a  diversified  portfolio  of
commodity interests including futures contracts,  options and forward contracts.
The  commodity  interests  that are traded by the  Partnership  are volatile and
involve  a high  degree  of  market  risk.  The  Partnership  commenced  trading
operations on January 12, 1994.

     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  are made for the  Partnership  by Campbell & Company,  Inc.,  John W.
Henry & Co.,  Hyman  Beck & Company  Inc.,  Chesapeake  Capital  Corp.,  Abraham
Trading Company and Rabar Market Research (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  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  $7,864,631 and the average fair value during the
six months then ended, based on monthly calculation, was $11,930,160.

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

                                         6

<PAGE>



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 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 $847,369,952 and $860,348,692, respectively, as detailed below. All of these
instruments mature within one year of June 30, 1996. However,  due to the nature
of the

                                         7

<PAGE>



Partnership's  business,  these instruments may not be held to maturity. At June
30, 1996, the  Partnership  had net unrealized  trading gains of $7,864,631,  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 during 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,  additions and  redemptions  of Units and
distributions of profits, if any.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996 Partnership  capital decreased 15.1%
from  $194,190,428 to  $164,840,196.  This decrease was attributable to net loss
from operations of $6,003,975 and net redemptions of 24,223.3390  units totaling
$25,381,740  which was partially  offset by additional sales of 1,905.2800 units
totaling $2,035,483.

Results of Operations

     During the  Partnership's  second  quarter of 1996, the net asset value per
Unit increased  3.6% from $1,023.24 to $1,059.61,  as compared to an increase of
7.4% in the second  quarter of 1995. The  Partnership  experienced a net trading
gain  before  commissions  and  expenses  in  the  second  quarter  of  1996  of
$8,759,333. Gains were recognized in the trading of commodity futures in metals,
currencies,   agricultural  products  and  energy  products.  These  gains  were
partially  offset by losses  recognized  in the trading of indices and  interest
rates.  The  Partnership  experienced a net trading gain before  commissions and
expenses  in the  second  quarter  of  1995 of  $18,379,136.  These  gains  were
primarily  attributable  to the trading of  commodity  futures  interest  rates,
indices  and  energy  products.  These  gains  were  partially  offset by losses
recognized in the trading of metals, currencies and agricultural products.

     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

                                      9

<PAGE>



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, 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 80% of the Partnership's daily equity maintained in cash
was earned on the monthly  average  30-day U.S.  Treasury  Bill Yield.  Interest
income for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1996  decreased  by $492,865
and $548,008,  respectively,  as compared to the corresponding  periods in 1995.
The  decrease in interest  income is  primarily  due to the decrease in interest
rates during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1995 in addition  to the effect of  redemptions  on the  Partnership's
equity maintained in cash.

     Brokerage  commissions are calculated on the  Partnership's net asset value
as of the last day of each  month  and,  therefore,  vary  according  to trading
performance and redemptions. Commissions for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996  decreased by $369,066 and $334,522,  respectively,  as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995.

     Management  fees are  calculated  on the portion of the  Partnership's  net
asset value  allocated to each  Advisor at the end of the month and,  therefore,
are affected by trading  performance  and  redemptions.  Management fees for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996  decreased  by $146,860  and  $222,518,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.

     Incentive fees are based on the new appreciation  generated by each Advisor
at the end of the  quarter,  as defined in the advisory  agreements  between the
Partnership,  the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance resulted
in a decrease in incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
of $2,060,069 and  $3,490,027,  respectively,  as compared to the  corresponding
periods in 1995.
