                                 (Unaudited)

1. General:

     Smith  Barney  Diversified  Futures Fund L.P. II (the  "Partnership"),  was
formed  under the laws of the State of New York,  on May 10,  1994 with the name
Consulting  Group  Managed  Futures  Fund L.P.  The  Partnership  engages in the
speculative  trading of  commodity  interests  including  forward  contracts  on
foreign  currencies,  commodity  options and commodity futures contracts on U.S.
Treasury Bills and other  financial  instruments,  foreign  currencies and stock
indices. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile
and involve a high degree of market risk.

     Between August 21, 1995  (commencement  of the offering period) and January
16, 1996,  8,529 Units of limited  partnership  interest were sold at $1,000 per
unit.  The proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account until January
17, 1996, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for trading.

     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 John W.  Henry &  Company,  Inc.,
Millburn    Ridgefield    Corporation   and   Chesapeake   Capital   Corporation
(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 September 30, 1996 and the results of its operations for the period
from January 17, 1996 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 1996 and for
the three months ended September 30, 1996.  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.   Offering and Organization Costs:

     Offering and organization  expenses of approximately  $518,000  relating to
the issuance and  marketing  of Units  during the initial  offering  period were
initially paid by SB. As of September 30, 1996, the  Partnership  had reimbursed
SB for all  offering  and  organization  expenses  incurred  during the  initial
offering  period.  Expenses  incurred  during the initial  offering  period were
estimated at $525,000 and charged  against the initial  capital of the fund. The
difference  between  the  estimated  and the actual  offering  and  organization
expense  of  approximately  $7,000  has  been  applied  to  continuous  offering
expenses.  Expenses of approximately $295,000 related to the continuous offering
of Units have been  incurred.  As of September  30, 1996,  the  Partnership  had
reimbursed  SB for  $127,047  relating  to the  continuous  offering  of  Units.
Interest earned by the Partnership will be used to reimburse SB for the offering
and organization  expenses of the Partnership related to the continuous offering
until such time as such expenses are fully reimbursed.

4. 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
activities are shown in the statements of income and expenses.

                                        6

<PAGE>




     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 September 30, 1996 was $4,785,210 and the average fair value during
the period from January 17, 1996  (commencement  of operations) to September 30,
1996, based on monthly calculation, was $1,868,844.

5. 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 General Partner monitors and controls the  Partnership's  risk exposure
on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk

                                        7

<PAGE>



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  September  30,  1996,  the  notional or
contractual  amounts of the Partnership's  commitment to purchase and sell these
instruments was $346,193,892 and $127,791,888,  respectively, as detailed below.
All of these instruments mature within one year of September 30, 1996.  However,
due to the nature of the  Partnership's  business,  these instruments may not be
held to maturity.  At September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  had net  unrealized
trading gains of $4,415,240, 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 and forward 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
third 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  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  Partnership  capital
increased 20.1% from $33,713,375 to $40,484,141.  This increase was attributable
to the addition of 6,544.4818 Units totaling  $6,150,000 coupled with net income
from operations of $1,425,122 and partially offset by the redemption of 849.4668
Units  resulting in an outflow of $804,356 for the quarter  ended  September 30,
1996.

Results of Operations

     During the  Partnership's  third  quarter of 1996,  the net asset value per
Unit increased 3.4% from $957.38 to $989.61.  The Partnership  experienced a net
trading gain before  commissions  and  expenses in the third  quarter of 1996 of
$2,325,371.  Gains were recognized in the trading of commodity futures in energy
products  interest  rates  and  metals  and  were  partially  offset  by  losses
recognized in the trading of agricultural products, indices and 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.  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

                                      9

<PAGE>



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 at the 30-day Treasury bill rate determined weekly by SB based on the
average  non-competitive  yield on 3-month U.S.  Treasury  bills  maturing in 30
days.

     Brokerage  commissions are calculated on the  Partnership's net asset value
as of the  last  day of each  month  and  therefore,  are  affected  by  trading
performance, subscriptions and redemptions.

     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, subscriptions and redemptions.

     Incentive  fees are  based on the new  trading  profits  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.
