PART I
Item 1. Business.
(a) General development of business. Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund
L.P. II ("Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on May 10, 1994 under
the Partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership commenced trading
operations on January 17, 1996. The Partnership engages in speculative trading
of commodity interests, including forward contracts on foreign currencies,
commodity options and commodity futures contracts and other financial
instruments, foreign currencies and stock indices.
A Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering
became effective on August 21, 1995. Beginning August 21, 1995, 100,000 Units of
Limited Partnership Interest ("Units") were publicly offered at $1,000 per Unit
for a period of ninety days, subject to increase for up to an additional sixty
days at the sole discretion of the General Partner. Between August 21, 1995
(commencement of the offering period) and January 16, 1996, 8529 Units of
limited partnership interest were sold at $1,000 per Unit. Proceeds of the
offering were held in an escrow account and were transferred, along with the
General Partner's contribution of $87,000 to the Partnership's trading account
on January 17, 1996 when the Partnership commenced trading. Sales of additional
Units and additional General Partner's contributions and redemptions of Units
for the year ended December 31, 1996 are reported in the Statement of Partners'
Capital on page F-5 under "Item 8.
2
<PAGE>
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The General Partner has agreed to make capital contributions, if
necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater
of (i) an amount to entitle it to 1% of each material item of Partnership
income, loss, deduction or credit and (ii) the greater of (a) 1% of the
partners' contributions to the Partnership or (b) $25,000. The Partnership will
be liquidated upon the first of the following to occur: December 31, 2014; the
net asset value of a Unit decreases to less than $400 as of the close of any
business day; or under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited
Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the "Limited Partnership Agreement").
The Partnership's trading of futures contracts on commodities is done
primarily on United States and foreign commodity exchanges. It engages in such
trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with its commodity
broker, Smith Barney Inc. ("SB").
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., acts as the general partner of the
Partnership (the "General Partner"). SB is an affiliate of the General Partner.
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the "Limited
Partnership Agreement"), the General Partner administers the business and
affairs of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, all commodity trading
decisions are made for the Partnership by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH"),
Millburn Ridgefield Corporation and Chesapeake Capital Corporation,
(collectively, the "Advisors"). None of the Advisors is affiliated with the
General Partner or SB. The
3
<PAGE>
Advisors are not responsible for the organization or operation of the
Partnership.
Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements (the "Management
Agreement"), the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor: (i) a monthly
management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets (except
that JWH will receive a monthly management fee equal to 1/3 of 1% (4% per year))
of the Partnership allocated to each Advisor as of the end of each month and
(ii) an incentive fee payable quarterly, equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits
(except JWH, which will receive an incentive fee of 15% of New Trading Profits)
(as defined in the Management Agreements) of the Partnership.
The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement with SB (the
"Customer Agreement") which provides that the Partnership will pay SB a monthly
brokerage fee equal to 1/2 of 1% of month-end Net Assets allocated to the
Advisors (6.0% per year) in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis.
SB also pays a portion of its brokerage fees to its financial consultants who
have sold Units and who are registered as associated persons with the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). The Partnership pays for National
Futures Association ("NFA") fees, exchange and clearing fees, give-up and user
fees and floor brokerage fees. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the
Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. The
Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SB gives the Partnership the
legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
4
<PAGE>
In addition, SB pays the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily
equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S.
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 from the date on which
such weekly rate is determined. However, SB began paying interest to the
Partnership only after the amount of interest accrued equaled the total amount
of offering and organizational expenses paid by SB in connection with the
Partnership's offering plus interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase
Manhattan Bank.
(b) Financial information about industry segments. The Partnership's
business consists of only one segment, speculative trading of commodity
interests (including, but not limited to, futures contracts, options and forward
contracts on U.S. Treasury Bills, other financial instruments, foreign
currencies, stock indices and physical commodities). The Partnership does not
engage in sales of goods or services. The Partnership's net income (loss) from
operations for the period from January 17, 1996 (commencement of trading
operations) to December 31, 1996 is set forth under "Item 6. Select Financial
Data." The Partnership capital as of December 31, 1996 was $55,298,004.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
(a) Liquidity. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or
services. Its only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading
account, consisting of cash and cash
7
<PAGE>
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. Such substantial losses could
lead to a material decrease in liquidity. To minimize this risk, the Partnership
will follow certain policies including:
(1) Partnership funds are invested only in futures contracts which are
traded in sufficient volume to permit, in the opinion of the Advisors, ease of
taking and liquidating positions.
(2) The Partnership will not permit the churning of its commodity
trading accounts.
(3) No Advisor initiates additional positions in any commodity if such
additional positions would result in aggregate positions for all commodities
requiring as margin more than 66-2/3% of the Partnership's assets allocated to
the Advisor.
(4) The Partnership will not employ the trading technique commonly known
as "pyramiding", in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing
positions as margin for the purchase or sale of additional positions in the same
or related commodities.
(5) The Partnership will not utilize borrowing except short-term
borrowing if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
(6) The Advisor may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such
as spread or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. The term "spread" or
"straddle" describes a commodity
8
<PAGE>
futures trading strategy involving the simultaneous buying and selling of
futures contracts on the same commodity but involving different delivery dates
or markets and in which the trader expects to earn a profit from a widening or
narrowing of the difference between the prices of the two contracts.
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, or to purchase or sell other financial
instruments at specified terms at specified future dates. Each of these
instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the
underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. 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. (See
also Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data., for further
information on financial instrument risk included in the notes to financial
statements.)
Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures trading, the
Partnership knows of no trends demands, commitments, events or uncertainties
which will result in or which are reasonably likely
9
<PAGE>
to result in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any
material way. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General
Partner may, at its discretion, cause the Partnership to cease trading
operations and liquidate all open positions upon the first to occur of the
following: (i) December 31, 2014; (ii) the vote dissolve the Partnership by
limited partners owning more than 50% of the Units; (iii) assignment by the
General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership or withdrawal,
removal, bankruptcy or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease
to be a general partner under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act
unless the Partnership is continued as described in the Limited Partnership
Agreement; (iv) Net Asset Value per Unit falls to less than $400 as of the end
of any trading day; or (v) the occurrence of any event which shall make it
unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to be continued.
(b) Capital resources. (i) The Partnership has made no material
commitments for capital expenditures.
(ii) The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions
of the partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity
trading, and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and
distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on commodity futures trading
cannot be predicted. Market moves in commodities are dependent upon fundamental
and technical factors which the Partnership may or may not be able to identify.
Partnership expenses will consist of, among other things, commissions,
management fees and incentive fees. The
10
<PAGE>
level of these expenses is dependent upon the level of trading and the ability
of the Advisors to identify and take advantage of price movements in the
commodity markets, in addition to the level of net assets maintained. In
addition, the amount of interest income payable by SB is dependent upon interest
rates over which the Partnership has no control.
No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given
period. Beginning June 30, 1996 a Limited Partner may cause all of his Units to
be redeemed by the Partnership at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last day
of each month on ten days' written notice to the General Partner. No fee will be
charged for redemptions. For the period ended December 31, 1996, 1,911.1385
Units were redeemed totaling $1,968,649.
The Partnership continues to offer Units at the Net Asset Value per Unit
as of the end of each month. For the period ended December 31, 1996, there were
additional sales of 42,034.2002 Units totaling $41,190,000 and contributions by
the General Partner representing 411.0108 Unit equivalents totaling $402,000.
(c) Results of Operations.
For the period from January 17, 1996 (commencement of trading
operations) to December 31, 1996, the net asset value per Unit increased 19.8%
from $939.07 to $1,125.06. There were no operations in 1995 and 1994. The net
asset value of $939.07 at commencement of trading operations is reflective of
charging offering and organizational expenses against the initial capital of the
Partnership for financial reporting purposes.
11
<PAGE>
The Partnership experienced net trading gains of $11,039,086 before
commissions and expenses in 1996. These gains were attributable to gains
incurred in the trading of interest rates, metals, energy and foreign
currencies. However, these trading gains were partially offset by losses
experienced in the trading of stock indices and agricultural commodity futures.
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 those price trends correctly. 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.

To the Partners of
Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of SMITH
BARNEY DIVERSIFIED FUTURES FUND L.P. II (a New York Limited Partnership) as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income and expenses
for the period from January 17, 1996 (commencement of trading operations) to
December 31, 1996, and of partners' capital for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 and for the period from May 10, 1994 (date Partnership was
organized) to December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of the General Partner. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
management of the General Partner, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Smith Barney Diversified
Futures Fund L.P. II as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations for the period from May 10, 1994 (date Partnership was organized) to

Futures Funds L.P. II
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Partnership Organization:
Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized on May 10, 1994 under the partnership
laws of the State of New York 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.
Between August 21, 1995 (commencement of the offering period) and January 16,
1996, 8,529 Units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units") were sold at
$1,000 per Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow
account until January 17, 1996, at which time they were turned over to the
Partnership for trading. The Partnership continues to offer Units during the
continuous offering period. The Partnership is authorized to sell 100,000
Units during the public offering period of the Partnership.
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. is 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 (see Note 3c).
The General Partner and each limited partner share in the profits and losses
of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned
by each except that no limited partner shall be liable for obligations of the
Partnership in excess of his initial capital contribution and profits, if
any, net of distributions.
The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following:
December 31, 2014; the net asset value of a Unit decreases to less than $400
as of a close of any business day; or under certain other circumstances as
defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
2. Accounting Policies:
a.All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The
commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are
recorded in the statement of financial condition at market value for those
commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available or at
fair value on the last business day of the year. Investments in commodity
interests denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the year.
Realized gain (loss) and changes in unrealized values on commodity
interests are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or
the changes occur and are included in net gains (losses) on trading of
commodity interests.

Notes to Financial Statements
b.Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable
for the taxes, if any, on his share of the Partnership's income and
expenses.
c.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
3. Agreements:
a.Limited Partnership Agreement:
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Partnership
including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the
Partnership.
b.Management Agreements:
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into
Management Agreements with John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH"), Millburn
Ridgefield Corporation and Chesapeake Capital Corporation, (collectively,
the "Advisors"), registered commodity trading advisors. The Advisors are
not affiliated with one another and none is affiliated with the General
Partner or SB and are not responsible for the organization or operation of
the Partnership. The Partnership will pay each Advisor a monthly management
fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to
the Advisor (except JWH, which will receive a monthly management fee equal
to 1/3 of 1% (4% per year) of month-end Net Assets). In addition, the
Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee payable
quarterly equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits earned by each Advisor
for the Partnership (except JWH, which will receive an incentive fee of 15%
of New Trading Profits).

c.Customer Agreement:
The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement which provides that
the Partnership will pay SB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 1/2 of 1% (6%
per year) of month-end Net Assets, as defined, in lieu of brokerage
commissions on a per trade basis. SB will pay a portion of brokerage fees
to its financial consultants who have sold Units in this Partnership.
Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the
rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. The Partnership will pay
for National Futures Association ("NFA") fees, exchange, clearing, user,
give-up and floor brokerage fees. All of the Partnership's assets are
deposited in the Partnership's account at SB. The Partnership's cash is
deposited by SB in segregated bank accounts as required by Commodity
Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 1996, the amount of
cash held for margin requirements was $6,904,509. SB has agreed to pay the
Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash
in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate deter-
mined weekly by SB based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month
U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly
rate is determined. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SB
gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
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 interests. The results of the Partnership's trading
activity are shown in the statement of income and expense.

trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including
options thereon at December 31, 1996 was, $2,399,573 and the average fair
value during the year then ended, based on monthly calculation was
$2,965,883.
5. Distributions and Redemptions:
Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the
General Partner; however, beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 1996, a
limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem his Units at their Net
Asset Value as of the last day of any month on 10 days' notice to the General
Partner provided that no redemption may result in the limited partner holding
fewer than 3 Units after redemption is effected. There is no fee charged to
limited partners in connection with redemptions.

8. 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, or 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
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.

nature of the Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to
maturity. At December 31, 1996, the fair value of the Partnership's
derivatives, including options thereon, was $2,399,573, as detailed below.
