proceeds of the offering have been applied to the working capital
of the Partnership for use in accordance with the "Use of
Proceeds" section of the Prospectus and the Supplement.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity - The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan
Stanley DW as non-clearing broker, and MS & Co. and MSIL as
clearing brokers in separate futures, forwards and options trading
accounts established for each Trading Advisor, which assets are
used as margin to engage in trading. The assets are held in either
non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and
instruments permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
for investment of customer segregated or secured funds. The
Partnership's assets held by the commodity brokers may be used as
margin solely for the Partnership's trading. Since the
Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards, and
options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own
such liquid assets for margin purposes.

The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards and options may,
from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit
fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred
to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily limits". Trades
may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the
price for a particular futures or option contract has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that
futures or options contract can neither be taken nor liquidated
unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within
the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit
for several consecutive days with little or no trading. These
market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly
liquidating its futures or options contracts and result in
restrictions on redemptions.

There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world
currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to
substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions.

The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets. Furthermore, there are no material trends,
demands, commitments, events or uncertainties known at the present
time that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result
in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any
material way.

Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor
expect to have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges and
sales of additional Units in the future will affect the amount of
funds available for investment in futures, forwards, and options
in subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount
and therefore, the impact of future redemptions of Units.

There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that
would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the
Partnership's capital resource arrangements at the present time.
The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements, nor
contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future
payments that would affect the Partnership's liquidity or capital
resources. The contracts traded by the Partnership are accounted
for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis.
The value of futures contracts is the settlement price on the
exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular
day. The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on
the spot rate as of the close of business, New York City time, on
a given day.

Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Advisors
and the ability of each Trading Advisor's trading programs to take
advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities
in the futures, forwards, and options markets. The following
presents a summary of the Partnership's operations for the three
years ended December 31, 2002, and a general discussion of its
trading activities during each period. It is important to note,
however, that the Trading Advisors trade in various markets at
different times and that prior activity in a particular market
does not mean that such market will be actively traded by the
Trading Advisors or will be profitable in the future.
Consequently, the results of operations of the Partnership are
difficult to discuss other than in the context of the Trading
Advisors' trading activities on behalf of the Partnership and how
the Partnership has performed in the past.

The Partnership's results of operations are set forth in financial
statements prepared in accordance with the United States generally
accepted accounting principles, which require the use of certain
accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements, including the following: The contracts the
Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. The difference between their
cost and market value is recorded on the Statements of Operations
as "Net change in unrealized profit/loss" for open (unrealized)
contracts, and recorded as "Realized profit/loss" when open
positions are closed out, and the sum of these amounts constitutes
the Partnership's trading revenues. Interest income revenue as
well as management fees, incentive fees, and brokerage fees
expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.

Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of
the Partnership, no assumptions other than those presently used
relating to the application of critical accounting policies are
reasonably plausible that could affect reported amounts.

At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's total capital was
$335,821,626, an increase of $77,847,504 from the Partnership's
total capital of $257,974,122 at December 31, 2001. For the year
ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership generated net income of
$60,775,435, total subscriptions aggregated $58,718,660 and total
redemptions aggregated $41,646,591.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $92,648,909
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 17.1% were recorded in the
global interest rate futures markets from long positions in
Japanese, European, and U.S. interest rate futures as prices
trended higher during the period from June through September, as
well as in December, amid global economic uncertainty and
falling equity prices. In the currency markets, gains of
approximately 13.1% were recorded during the second quarter, as
well as in December, from long positions in the euro versus the
U.S. dollar as the value of the dollar weakened amid continued
uncertainty regarding the U.S. economic recovery and heightened
global political tensions. Additional gains of approximately
4.3% resulted from short positions in European stock index
futures as prices trended lower during June, July, and September
amid skepticism regarding a global economic recovery. A portion
of the Partnership's overall gains was offset by losses of
approximately 2.3% recorded in the metals markets from long
positions in copper futures as prices reversed lower during the
second quarter amid growing inventory levels and weak industrial
demand. Additional losses were recorded during October from
short positions in copper futures as prices reversed higher amid
renewed economic optimism. Total expenses for the year were
$31,873,474, resulting in net income of $60,775,435. The net asset
value of a Unit increased from $14.93 at December 31, 2001 to
$18.41 at December 31, 2002.

At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's total capital was
$257,974,122, a decrease of $10,158,970 from the Partnership's
total capital of $268,133,092 at December 31, 2000. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership generated a net
loss of $19,283,369, total subscriptions aggregated $40,832,142
and total redemptions aggregated $31,707,743.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $9,867,449
and after expenses, posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit.
The most significant losses of approximately 7.0% were recorded
in the energy markets throughout the first nine months of the
year from trading in crude oil futures and its related products
as a result of volatility in oil prices due to a continually
changing outlook for supply, production and demand. In the
agricultural markets, losses of approximately 1.6% were recorded
primarily during July from previously established short corn
futures positions as prices reversed higher on forecasts for
hotter and drier weather in the U.S. midwest. A portion of the
Partnership's overall losses was partially offset by gains of
approximately 8.7% recorded in the global interest rate futures
markets primarily during August, September and October from
previously established long positions in short and intermediate
term U.S. interest rate futures as prices continued trending
higher following interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European
central banks and as investors sought a "safe haven" from the
decline in stock prices. Additional gains were recorded
throughout the majority of the first quarter from
previously established long positions in Japanese government
bond futures as prices continued moving higher on concerns
regarding that country's economy. In the global stock index
futures markets, profits of approximately 3.2% were recorded
throughout a majority of the third quarter from previously
established short positions in DAX and Nikkei Index futures as
the trend in equity prices continued sharply lower amid worries
regarding global economic uncertainty. Total expenses for the
year were $29,150,818, resulting in a net loss of $19,283,369.
The net asset value of a Unit decreased from $16.08 at December
31, 2000 to $14.93 at December 31, 2001.

At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was
$268,133,092, a decrease of $622,626 from the Partnership's total
capital of $268,755,718 at December 31, 1999. For the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated net income of
$18,278,201, total subscriptions aggregated $29,668,693 and total
redemptions aggregated $48,569,520.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $45,874,973
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 14.1% were recorded in the
energy markets primarily during May from long positions
in natural gas futures as prices trended higher, as data
released by the American Gas Association further confirmed fears
that inventory levels remain low. During August, September,
November and December, additional gains were recorded from long
positions in natural gas futures as prices climbed to all-time
highs amid supply and storage concerns. Additional gains were
recorded primarily during January, February, August, October and
November from long futures positions in crude oil and its
refined products as oil prices increased on concerns about
future output levels from the world's leading producer countries
amid dwindling stockpiles and increasing demand. In the
currency markets, gains of approximately 6.1% were recorded
primarily during January, April and October from short positions
in the euro and the Swiss franc as the value these European
currencies weakened relative to the U.S. dollar amid skepticism
about Europe's economic outlook. Additional gains were recorded
during December from long positions in the euro and Swiss franc
as their respective values reversed upward versus the U.S.
dollar as a result of new confidence in the European economy and
overall skepticism regarding the U.S. economy. A portion of the
Partnership's overall gains was partially offset by losses of
approximately 5.1% recorded in the metals markets primarily from
short gold futures positions as gold prices spiked sharply
higher in early February. Newly established long
positions in gold futures produced additional losses later in
February as gold prices fell. During mid July, additional
losses were recorded from long gold futures positions as gold
prices fell after the Bank of England announced the results of
its gold auction, which had concluded at a lower price than most
dealers expected. During October, additional losses were
incurred from long positions in copper and aluminum futures as
prices declined after concerns mounted that demand would weaken
amid a cooling of the U.S. economy. Total expenses for the year
were $27,596,772, resulting in net income of $18,278,201. The
net asset value of a Unit increased from $14.91 at December 31,
1999 to $16.08 at December 31, 2000.

The Partnership's overall performance record represents varied
results of trading in different futures, forwards, and options
markets. For an analysis of unrealized gains and (losses) by
contract type and a further description of 2002 trading results,
refer to the "Letter to the Limited Partners" in the Partnership's
Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31,
2002, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this
Form 10-K.

The Partnership's gains and losses are allocated among its
partners for income tax purposes.

Credit Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership may trade futures, forwards, and options
in interest rates, stock indices, commodities, currencies,
petroleum, precious metals and other commodity interests. In
entering into these contracts, the Partnership is subject to the
market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced
by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility,
resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets
should move against all of the positions held by the Partnership
at the same time, and if the Trading Advisors were unable to
offset positions of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose
all of its assets and the Limited Partners would realize a 100%
loss.

In addition to the Trading Advisors' internal controls, the
Trading Advisors must comply with the trading policies of the
Partnership. These trading policies include standards for
liquidity and leverage with which the Partnership must comply.
The Trading Advisors and Demeter monitor the Partnership's
trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading
policies. Demeter may require the Trading Advisors to modify
positions of the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate
the Partnership's trading policies.

In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward,
and options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership
that the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its
obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or
guarantor of the Partnership for futures contracts traded in the
United States and the foreign exchanges on which the Partnership
trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In
general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the
exchange and will act in the event of non-performance by one of
its members or one of its member's customers, which should
significantly reduce this credit risk. For example, a
clearinghouse may cover a default by drawing upon a defaulting
member's mandatory contributions and/or non-defaulting members'
contributions to a clearinghouse guarantee fund, established
lines or letters of credit with banks, and/or the
clearinghouse's surplus capital and other available assets of
the exchange and clearinghouse, or assessing its members. In
cases where the Partnership trades off-exchange forward
contracts with a counterparty, the sole recourse of the
Partnership will be the forward contracts counterparty.

There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange or other
exchange member will meet its obligations to the Partnership,
and Demeter and the commodity brokers will not indemnify the
Partnership against a default by such parties. Further, the law
is unclear as to whether a commodity broker has any obligation
to protect its customers from loss in the event of an exchange
or clearinghouse defaulting on trades effected for the broker's
customers. Any such obligation on the part of a broker appears
even less clear where the default occurs in a non-U.S.
jurisdiction.

Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership's credit
exposure to each exchange on a daily basis, calculating not only
the amount of margin required for it but also the amount of its
unrealized gains at each exchange, if any. The commodity
brokers inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of
its net margin requirements for all its existing open positions,
but do not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange.
Demeter, however, has installed a system which permits it to
monitor the Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange
by exchange. As a result, Demeter is able to monitor the
Partnership's potential net credit exposure to each exchange by
adding the unrealized trading gains on that exchange, if any, to
the Partnership's margin liability thereon.

Second, the Partnership's trading policies limit the amount of
its net assets that can be committed at any given time to
futures contracts and require, in addition, a minimum amount of
diversification in the Partnership's trading, usually over
several different products. One of the aims of such trading
policies has been to reduce the credit exposure of the
Partnership to a single exchange and, historically, the
Partnership's exposure to any one exchange has typically
amounted to only a small percentage of its total net assets. On
those relatively few occasions where the Partnership's credit
exposure may climb above such level, Demeter deals with the
situation on a case by case basis, carefully weighing whether
the increased level of credit exposure remains appropriate.
Material changes to the trading policies may be made only with
the prior written approval of the Limited Partners owning more
than 50% of Units then outstanding.

Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership
trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, together
with Morgan Stanley DW, have determined to be
creditworthy. The Partnership presently deals with MS & Co. as
the sole counterparty on forward contracts.

See "Financial Instruments" under "Notes to Financial Statements"
in the Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the
year ended December 31, 2002, which is incorporated by reference
to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.

Inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's
operations.

Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Introduction
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options. The
market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired
for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are at risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments is central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.

The futures, forwards, and options traded by the
Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk.
Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or
volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of
financial instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in market
risk based upon these factors result in frequent changes in the
fair value of the Partnership's open positions, and
consequently, in its earnings and cash flow.

The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,
each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.

The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the
Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its
speculative trading. The Partnership's speculative trading may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e., "risk of ruin") that
far exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any
reasonable expectations based upon historical changes in market
value.

Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for
such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All
quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-
looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for
statements of historical fact.

The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark-
to-market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of
the Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the
Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through
variation margin.

The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at
Risk ("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes
many variables that could change the market value of the
Partnership's trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR
using a model based upon historical simulation with a
confidence level of 99%. Historical simulation involves
constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the
value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account
linear exposures to price and interest rate risk. Market risks
that are incorporated in the VaR model include equity and
commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and
correlation among these variables. The hypothetical changes in
portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed
in key market indices or other market factors ("market risk
factors") to which the portfolio is sensitive. The historical
observation period of the Partnership's VaR is approximately
four years. The one-day 99% confidence level of the
Partnership's VaR corresponds to the negative change in
portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors,
would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days. In other
words, one-day VaR for a portfolio is a number such that losses
in this portfolio are estimated to exceed the VaR only one day
in 100. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.

VaR is calculated using historical simulation. Demeter uses
approximately four years of daily market data (1,000
observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma
approximations) for each of the historical market moves that
occurred over this time period. This generates a
probability distribution of daily "simulated profit and loss"
outcomes. The VaR is the appropriate percentile of this
distribution. For example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent
the 10th worst outcome from Demeter's simulated profit and loss
series.

The Partnership's VaR computations are based on the risk
representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument
or contract and does not distinguish between exchange and non-
exchange-traded instruments and is also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based margin requirements.

VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously
evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling
techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that
the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for
historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either
Demeter or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management
activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
entities.

The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market
Sectors
The following table indicates the VaR associated with the
Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets
by primary market risk category at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $336 million and $258 million,
respectively.

Primary Market December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk

Currency (2.14)% (2.71)%

Interest Rate (1.24) (0.70)

Equity (0.24) (0.26)

Commodity (1.46) (0.60)

Aggregate Value at Risk (2.76)% (3.16)%

The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside
risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market
category. The aggregate VaR, listed above for the Partnership,
represents the aggregate VaR of all the Partnership's open
positions across all the market categories, and is less than the
sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due to the
diversification benefit across asset classes.

The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's
open positions at December 31, 2002 and 2001 only and is not
necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk
of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's
only business is the speculative trading of futures, forwards,
and options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change
significantly over any given time period, or even within a
single trading day. Any changes in open positions could
positively or negatively materially impact market risk as
measured by VaR.

The table below supplements the December 31, 2002 VaR by
presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a
percentage of total net assets for the four quarterly reporting
periods from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002.

Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average

Currency (2.59)% (0.69)% (1.57)%
Interest Rate (2.59) (1.24) (1.81)
Equity (1.08) (0.24) (0.69)
Commodity (1.71) (0.70) (1.26)
Aggregate Value at Risk (4.11)% (2.50)% (3.00)%

Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market
Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin
requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2%
and 15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of
leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments
held by the Partnership to typically be many times the total
capitalization of the Partnership. The value of the
Partnership's open positions thus creates a "risk of ruin" not
typically found in other investments. The relative size of the
positions held may cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly
in excess of VaR within a short period of time, given the effects
of the leverage employed and market volatility. The VaR tables
above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give
no indication of such "risk of ruin". In addition, VaR risk
measures should be viewed in light of the methodology's
limitations, which include the following:
? past changes in market risk factors will not always result in
accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of
future market movements;
? changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may
differ from those of the VaR model;

? VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk
depends on future positions;
? VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the
market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged
within one day; and
? the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation
may provide only limited insight into losses that could be
incurred under certain unusual market movements.

The VaR tables above present the results of the Partnership's
VaR for each of the Partnership's market risk exposures and on
an aggregate basis at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the
end of the four quarterly reporting periods during calendar year
2002. Since VaR is based on historical data, VaR should not be
viewed as predictive of the Partnership's future financial
performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk. There can
be no assurance that the Partnership's actual losses on a
particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above
or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading
days.

Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial.
At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's cash balance at Morgan
Stanley DW was approximately 87% of its total net asset value. A
decline in short-term interest rates will result in a decline in
the Partnership's cash management income. This cash flow risk is
not considered to be material.

Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any
associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,
optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership's net
assets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the
Partnership's market risk exposures - except for (A) those
disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (B) the
descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market
risk exposures - constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership's
primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and
to be used by Demeter and the Trading Advisors for managing such
exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies
and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of
the Partnership's risk controls to differ materially from the
objectives of such strategies. Government interventions,
defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of
dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in
historical price relationships, an influx of new market
participants, increased regulation and many other factors could
result in material losses as well as in material changes to the
risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the
Partnership. Investors must be prepared to lose all or
substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at December 31, 2002, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.

Currency. The primary market exposure of the Partnership at
December 31, 2002 was to the currency sector. The Partnership's
currency exposure was to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily
fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing
relationships between different currencies and currency pairs.
Interest rate changes as well as political and general economic
conditions influence these fluctuations. The Partnership trades
a large number of currencies, including cross-rates - i.e.,
positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At
December 31, 2002, the Partnership's major exposures were to the
euro, Japanese yen, Australian dollar and British pound currency
crosses, and outright U.S. dollar positions. Outright positions
consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies. These other
currencies include major and minor currencies. Demeter does not
anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership's currency
sector will change significantly in the future. The currency
trading VaR figure includes foreign margin amounts converted
into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the
exchange rate risk inherent to the U.S.-based Partnership in
expressing VaR in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.

Interest Rate. The second largest market exposure at December
31, 2002 was to the global interest rate complex, primarily
spread across the U.S., European and Japanese sectors. Interest
rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond
futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly affect
the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest
rate movements in one country as well as relative
interest rate movements between countries materially impact the
Partnership's profitability. The Partnership's interest rate
exposure is generally to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S.
and the other G-7 countries. The G-7 countries consist of
France, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada.
However, the Partnership also takes futures positions in the
government debt of smaller nations - e.g., Australia. Demeter
anticipates that G-7 countries interest rates will remain the
primary interest rate exposure of the Partnership for the
foreseeable future. The speculative futures positions held by
the Partnership may range from short to long-term instruments.
Consequently, changes in short, medium or long-term interest
rates may have an effect on the Partnership.

Equity. The primary equity exposure at December 31, 2002 was to
price risk in the G-7 countries. The stock index futures traded
by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on broadly-
based indices. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's primary
exposures were to the NASDAQ (U.S.), DAX (Germany) and Nikkei
(Japan) stock indices. The Partnership is exposed to the risk
of adverse price trends or static markets in the U.S., European
and Japanese indices. Static markets would not cause major
market changes but would make it difficult for the
Partnership to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous small
losses.

Commodity.
Energy. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in
crude oil and its related products, and natural gas. Price
movements in the energy markets result from political
developments in the Middle East, weather patterns and other
economic fundamentals. Significant profits and losses,
which have been experienced in the past, are expected to
continue to be experienced in the future. Natural gas has
exhibited volatility in prices resulting from weather
patterns and supply and demand factors and will likely
continue in this choppy pattern.

Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2002,
the Partnership had exposure to the markets that comprise
these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the sugar,
cotton, soybeans and its related markets. Supply and
demand inequalities, severe weather disruption and market
expectations affect price movements in these markets.

Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at
December 31, 2002 was to fluctuations in the price of
precious metals, such as gold and silver, and base metals,
such as aluminum, copper, nickel, zinc, and lead. Economic
forces, supply and demand inequalities, geopolitical
factors and market expectations influence price movements
in these markets. The Trading Advisors, from time to time,
take positions when market opportunities develop and
Demeter anticipates that the Partnership will continue to
do so.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at December 31, 2002:

Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's primary
foreign currency balances at December 31, 2002 were in
euros, Japanese yen, Australian dollars and Canadian
dollars. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of
these balances by regularly converting them back into U.S.
dollars upon liquidation of their respective positions.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisors, separately, attempt to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in
essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.
Demeter attempts to manage the market exposure by diversifying
the Partnership's assets among different Trading Advisors, each
of whose strategies focus on different market sectors and
trading approaches, and monitoring the performance of the
Trading Advisors daily. In addition, the Trading Advisors
establish diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the
maximum margin to be committed to positions in any one market
sector or market-sensitive instrument.

Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-
trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership
investment directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading
Advisors.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. In the energy futures markets, gains were experienced throughout a majority
of the year from long positions in natural gas futures as prices drew
strength primarily from colder weather in the Northeastern U.S. and a
disruption of output from the Gulf of Mexico caused by Hurricane Isidore.
Additional gains were recorded from long positions in crude oil futures and
related products as growing tensions between the U.S. and Iraq pushed prices
higher in late February and early March, as well as during the second half
of the year.
.. In the agricultural markets, gains were provided from long positions in
cocoa futures as political unrest in the Ivory Coast threatened supplies
throughout a majority of the year. Additional gains were recorded from long
positions in sugar futures during December and long positions in a variety
of grain futures during May, June, and July.
.. In the metals futures markets, gains were recorded from long futures
positions in gold as prices initially climbed higher early in the year amid
investors' fears concerning weaker global equity prices. Additional gains

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
.. Gains were recorded from long positions in the euro, Swiss franc, and
Norwegian krone versus the U.S. dollar as the dollar's value significantly
weakened during April, May, and June amid falling equity prices and concerns
regarding corporate integrity. Additional gains from long positions in the
euro, Swiss franc, and Norwegian krone were experienced in December as the
looming threat of a potential military conflict with Iraq and North Korea
further weakened the dollar.
.. Additional gains stemmed from long positions in the South African rand
versus the U.S. dollar as its value approached a 16-month high during the
second and fourth quarter amid strong demand for South African exports and
high relative interest rates.
.. Profits were recorded from long positions in the Australian dollar and New
Zealand dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of both currencies
strengthened during April, May, and throughout the fourth quarter amid
higher gold prices.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
.. Losses were recorded in the British pound from short positions versus the
U.S. dollar during the summer months and into the fourth quarter as the
value of the dollar weakened amid geopolitical and economic concerns.
.. Losses resulted from positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar
during March as the yen initially strengthened amid asset repatriation out
of the U.S. into Japan, only to retreat by month-end on expectations that
the repatriation flow would soon subside ahead of the Japanese fiscal
year-end. Further losses in the Japanese yen were experienced in December
from short positions versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the dollar
weakened versus most major currencies.

including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and
the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash

and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 for the
other above mentioned Partnerships. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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 management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Commodity L.P.,
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced
L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic
L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P. as of December 31, 2002 and
2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period
from July 3, 2000 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2000 and the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 for Spectrum Cur-

rency, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002
for the other above mentioned Partnerships, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
