(2)
As of January 31, 2008, the managing member of SHK Diversified LLC (SHK) temporarily suspended future redemptions from this fund. This action was taken by the managing member due to a decline in the liquidity of the markets traded by this fund combined with a significant number of requests for redemptions from this fund. On April 28, 2008, the Partnership submitted a request for full redemption from SHK. Effective December 31, 2008, the managing member of SHK distributed approximately half of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership, which was paid to the Partnership on January 15, 2009. Effective February 28, 2009, the managing member of SHK distributed the remaining portion of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership, which was paid to the Partnership on March 16, 2009.

_________________

Note 1.       ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
General Description of the Partnership
 
 
ProFutures Diversified Fund, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership, which operates as a commodity investment pool.  The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, physical commodities, interbank forward currency contracts and options on interbank forward currency contracts, directly and through its investments in other commodity pools.  The Partnership closed to investors in 1995 and will terminate at the end of December 2012, at which time the remaining assets will be distributed.
 
 
As more fully described in Note 7., effective April 1, 2008, the Partnership established a “side pocket/restricted” account for each investor.  The Partnership transferred its interest in SHK Diversified LLC (SHK), which had a net asset value of $2,736,409 and a per unit value of $2,963.09 as of March 31, 2008, to a side pocket/restricted unit class.  Partners of record on April 1, 2008 had a proportional interest in the assets, liabilities and income or loss related to this side pocket.
 
 
Partners who had requested redemptions continued to participate in any income or loss specifically from the SHK side pocket investment until such time as the Partnership received its redemption proceeds or liquidation proceeds from SHK.  The side pocket/restricted unit class also bore its proportionate share of the Partnership’s expenses, as well as all expenses directly related to this class’ establishment and existence.  Effective December 31, 2008, SHK distributed approximately half ($1,315,742) of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership, which was paid to the Partnership on January 15, 2009.  Effective February 28, 2009, SHK distributed the remaining portion ($1,335,258) of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership, which was paid to the Partnership on March 16, 2009, resulting in the termination of the side pocket/restricted unit class.
 
Regulation
 
 
As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Partnership is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As a commodity investment pool, the Partnership is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of commodity exchanges and futures commission merchants through which the Partnership trades.
 
Method of Reporting
 
 
The Partnership’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of certain estimates made by the Partnership’s management.
 
 
For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, Net Asset Value per Unit is calculated by dividing Net Asset Value by the total number of units outstanding for each class.

Method of Reporting (continued)
 
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), referred to as FASB ASC or the Codification, became the single source of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Existing accounting standards are incorporated into the Codification and standards not incorporated into the Codification are considered nonauthoritative.
 
Use of Estimates
 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 
All of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments and are reflected at fair value, or at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.
 
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  Inputs are broadly defined under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
Level 1.
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
 
Level 2.
Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  A significant adjustment to a Level 2 input could result in the Level 2 measurement becoming a Level 3 measurement.
 
 
Level 3.
Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.
 
 
The fair values of futures contracts are based upon exchange settlement prices.  The Partnership uses futures contracts as part of its trading activities.  These contracts are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
 
The fair values of Level 1 financial instruments at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, consisted of the following:

December 31, 2008

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
 
 
The Partnership’s investments in other commodity pools are reported in the statement of financial condition at fair value.  Fair value ordinarily represents the Partnership’s proportionate share of each other commodity pool’s net asset value determined for each commodity pool in accordance with such commodity pool’s valuation policies and as reported by their management at the time of the Partnership’s valuation.  Generally, the fair value of the Partnership’s investment in a commodity pool represents the amount that the Partnership could reasonably expect to receive from such commodity pool if the Partnership’s investment was redeemed at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Partnership believes to be reliable.  The Partnership records its proportionate share of other commodity pool’s income or loss in the statement of operations.  This financial instrument is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
 
The fair values of Level 3 financial instruments at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, consisted of the following:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
 
 
The amount of income (loss) from investments in other commodity pools included in net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is reported as gain (loss) from investment in other commodity pools as a single amount in the statements of operations, as the Partnership accounts for its investments in other commodity pools pursuant to the equity method of accounting.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Partnership’s investments in other commodity pools, which are measured at fair value using significant Level 3 inputs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, is provided in Note 7. to the financial statements.
 
 
Gain (loss) from investment in other commodity pools includes $(714,149) and $780,220 attributable to the change in unrealized gain (loss) on the Partnership’s investments in other commodity pools held at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
Futures Contracts
 
 
Transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.  Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price) are reflected in the statement of financial condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses.  Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations.  Brokerage commissions on futures contracts and options on futures contracts include other trading fees and are charged to expense when contracts are opened.  Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices.
 
Income Taxes
 
 
The Partnership is not subject to federal income taxes.  The Partnership prepares and files calendar year U.S. and applicable state information tax returns and reports to the partners their allocable shares of the Partnership’s income, expenses and trading and investing gains or losses.  The Partnership has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties, if any, as interest expense.  The 2006 through 2008 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions
 
 
The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition.  Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in total trading and investing gains (losses) in the statements of operations.

Redemptions of Units
 
 
Redemptions payable represent redemptions approved by the General Partner prior to the period end, including those that are not effective until subsequent periods.  These redemptions have been recorded as redemptions and redemptions payable, using the period end Net Asset Value per unit, in accordance with the provisions of the Equity Topic of the Codification.  The change in redemptions payable from the previous reporting period due to change in net asset value is reported in net income and then allocated.  Redemptions payable related to side pocket/restricted units at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are $0 and $124,216, respectively.
 
 
Derivative Instruments
 
 
The Partnership’s business is speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, options on U.S. and foreign futures contracts and other commodity-related contracts (collectively, derivatives) pursuant to the trading and investment methodology of the General Partner.  The Partnership also invests in other commodity pools and is indirectly exposed to the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, physical commodities and securities within those other commodity pools.  The Partnership does not designate any derivative instruments as hedging instruments under the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the Codification nor are the derivative instruments used for other risk management purposes.  Due to the speculative nature of the Partnership’s derivative trading activity, the Partnership is subject to the risk of substantial losses from derivatives trading.
 
 
The following tables summarize quantitative information required by the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the Codification.  The fair value of derivative contracts is presented as an asset if in a gain position and a liability if in a loss position.  Fair value is presented on a gross basis in the table below even though the derivative contracts qualify for net presentation in the statement of financial condition:

The unaudited financial statements of ProFutures Diversified Fund, L.P., as of September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  The information included reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management; necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods.  However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.  The notes to the unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements contained in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 27, 2009.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, an amendment to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which permits, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment in certain entities on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment. The update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009.  Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Partnership is evaluating the impact this update will have on its financial statements.

Note 2.       GENERAL PARTNER
 
 
The General Partner of the Partnership is ProFutures, Inc., which conducts and manages the business of the Partnership.  The Agreement of Limited Partnership requires the General Partner to contribute to the Partnership an amount in the aggregate equal to at least the greater of (i) 3% of the aggregate initial capital contributions of all partners or $100,000, whichever is less, or (ii) 1% of the aggregate initial capital contributions of all partners.
 
 
The Agreement of Limited Partnership also requires that the General Partner maintain in the aggregate a net worth at least equal to (i) the lesser of $250,000 or 15% of the aggregate initial capital contributions of any limited partnerships for which it acts as general partner and which are capitalized at less than $2,500,000; and (ii) 10% of the aggregate initial capital contributions of any limited partnerships for which it acts as general partner and which are capitalized at greater than $2,500,000.
 
 
ProFutures, Inc. has a callable stock subscription agreement with MF Global Ltd. (MFG), the Partnership’s broker, whereby MFG has subscribed to purchase (up to $7,000,000, subject to conditions set forth in the stock subscription agreement dated October 22, 2004) the number of shares of common stock of ProFutures, Inc. necessary to maintain the General Partner’s net worth requirements.
 
 
The Partnership pays the General Partner a monthly management fee of 1/4 of 1% (3% annually) of month-end Net Asset Value.  The General Partner receives an additional monthly management fee of .0625% (.75% annually) of the Partnership’s month-end Net Asset Value for consulting services rendered to the Partnership.
 
 
Total management fees earned by ProFutures, Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $494,496 and $577,225, respectively.  Such management fees earned for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $150,745 and $180,056, respectively.  Management fees payable to ProFutures, Inc. as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $49,013 and $129,324, respectively.  Management fees payable at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes $0 and $74,672 payable to ProFutures, Inc. related to the side pocket/restricted unit class.

CONSULTANTS
 
 
The Partnership maintains a consulting agreement with Altegris Investments, Inc. (the CTA Consultant) and Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. (the CPO Consultant), collectively (the Consultants), whereby the Consultants recommend the selection and termination of the Partnership’s trading advisors and other commodity pools and the allocation and reallocation of the Partnership’s assets.  The CPO Consultant is the general partner of Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US).  Pursuant to the consulting agreement, the Consultants receive a monthly consulting fee equal to .0208% (.25% annually) of the Partnership’s month-end Net Asset Value (as defined in the Consulting Agreement).  Certain net assets of the Partnership invested with managers affiliated with the Consultants are excluded from the month-end Net Asset Value when computing the consulting fees due to the Consultants.  In addition, the net assets of the Partnership invested with a certain commodity trading advisor are excluded from the month-end Net Asset Value when computing the consulting fees due to the Consultants since the Consultants earn a percentage of such commodity trading advisor’s incentive fee.
 
 
The consulting fee (included in management fees in the statement of operations) earned by the Consultants for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled $8,168 and $8,745, respectively, and $2,357 and $3,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The consulting fee payable (included in management fees payable in the statement of financial condition) to the Consultants as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $711 and $1,880, respectively.  In addition to the monthly consulting fee, the Consultants earn commissions for introducing the Partnership to certain commodity trading advisors and other commodity pools based on the number of trades entered on behalf of the Partnership.

SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
 
 
Limited Partners have the right to redeem units as of any month-end upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Partnership.  Redemptions will be made on the last day of the month for an amount equal to the net asset value per unit, as defined, represented by the units to be redeemed.  The right to obtain redemptions is also contingent upon the Partnership’s having property sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the redemption date and may be delayed if the General Partner determines that earlier liquidation of commodity interest positions to meet redemption payments would be detrimental to the Partnership or non-redeeming Limited Partners.
 
 
Under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the inability to liquidate commodity positions or a delay in payments due the Partnership from commodity brokers, banks, commodity pools or other persons, the Partnership may in turn delay payment to Partners requesting redemption of units.  In that event, payment for redemption of such units will be made to Limited Partners as soon thereafter as is practicable.  As discussed more fully in Note 7., effective April 1, 2008, the General Partner established a side pocket/restricted unit class for the Partnership’s interest in SHK.  A Partner could not redeem units from the side pocket/restricted unit class until management of SHK distributed proceeds from the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership.  Effective December 31, 2008, SHK distributed approximately half of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership.  As a result, half of the units held in the side pocket/restricted units were transferred and converted to non-restricted units at the December 31, 2008 non-restricted Net Asset Value per unit or were paid their pro rata share of the proceeds if they did not hold non-restricted units.  Effective February 28, 2009, SHK distributed the remaining portion of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership.  As a result, all of the units held in the side pocket/restricted units were transferred and converted to non-restricted units at the February 28, 2009 non-restricted Net Asset Value per unit or were paid their pro rata share of the proceeds if they did not hold non-restricted units.
 
Note 6.       DEPOSITS WITH BROKER
 
 
The Partnership deposits funds with MFG to act as broker, subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and broker requirements.  Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such broker.  All assets with MFG are subject to being collateralized for any amounts due to MFG and to meet margin and other broker or regulatory requirements.  The Partnership earns interest income on its assets deposited with the broker.

SHK Diversified LLC
 
 
As of January 31, 2008, the managing member of SHK Diversified LLC (SHK) temporarily suspended future redemptions.  SHK’s managing member indicated to investors that this action was taken due to a decline in the liquidity of the markets traded by SHK combined with a significant number of requests for redemptions.  On April 28, 2008, the Partnership submitted a request for full redemption from SHK. Effective December 31, 2008, SHK distributed approximately half ($1,315,742) of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership which was paid to the Partnership on January 15, 2009.  Effective February 28, 2009, SHK distributed the remaining portion ($1,335,258) of the Partnership’s investment in SHK to the Partnership which was paid to the Partnership on March 16, 2009.
 
 
The Partnership’s investment in SHK is stated at $0 and $1,315,743 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and its proportionate share in the earnings (losses) of this investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $19,515 and $(166,870), respectively, is included in net income (loss) for the periods then ended.  The Partnership’s proportionate share in the earnings (losses) of this investment for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is $125,746.
 
 
The General Partner established a side pocket for the Partnership’s interest in SHK effective April 1, 2008, until such time as these funds could be released and valued with a reasonable degree of certainty.  Investor units attributed to SHK were segregated into a side pocket while units not attributed to SHK continued to be available for redemption.  Redemptions were paid in cash for the portion of the Partnership’s net assets not attributed to SHK while the net assets attributed to SHK were held in the side pocket.  The side pocket/restricted unit class also bore its proportionate share of the Partnership’s expenses, as well as all expenses directly related to this class’ establishment and operation.  Effective February 28, 2009, the side pocket/restricted unit class was terminated after all proceeds were received from the Partnership’s investment in SHK.
 
 
Investors in SHK are charged management fees of 6.00% per annum (in 2008, voluntarily reduced to 3.00% per annum by the Managing Member of SHK) and a profit share of 25% of trading profits.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership’s proportionate share of management fees and profit share charged by SHK was approximately, $6,700 and $0, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership’s proportionate share of management fees and profit share charged by SHK was approximately $61,900 and $0, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership’s proportionate share of management fees and profit share charged by SHK was approximately $21,400 and $0, respectively.

Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US) – Institutional Interests (continued)
 
 
Management of the Partnership believes the accounting principles utilized by Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US) are consistent in all material respects with those utilized by the Partnership.
 
 
The Partnership’s investment in Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US) represents approximately 1.66% and 3.29% of the investee fund’s net asset value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
 
As of June 1, 2008, the Partnership’s “Class B Interest” in Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US) was reclassified as an “Institutional Interest” in Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US).  This is a reclassification for Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US) administrative purposes only.  There was no change to the management and incentive fees charged the Partnership, or the Partnership’s rights as a limited partner of Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (US).
 
Note 8.
TRADING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS
 
 
The Partnership, directly and through its investment in other commodity pools, engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, options on U.S. and foreign futures contracts, physical commodities, forward currency contracts and options on forward currency contracts (collectively, derivatives).  The Partnership is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.
 
 
As the Partnership deposits all of its equity in broker trading accounts with MFG, the Partnership has a concentration of credit risk with MFG.  The following details both (i) the maximum amount of loss the Partnership would incur due to the complete failure by MFG to perform according to the terms of the applicable contractual agreements, with such maximum amount of loss being based on the gross fair values of the financial instruments held by MFG, and; (ii) the maximum risk of loss of other assets (excluding financial instruments) held by MFG:
 

   
Maximum Risk of Loss
 
Broker
 
Financial
Instruments
   
Other
Assets
   
Total
 
MFG
  $ 257,222     $ 4,737,185     $ 4,994,407  
 
 
The above maximum amount of risk of loss of financial instruments does not take into account unlimited liability on contracts sold short and adverse market movements subsequent to September 30, 2009.  Accordingly, the maximum amount of risk of loss could be materially greater.

 
Purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts requires margin deposits with the broker.  Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value.  The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such broker’s proprietary activities.  A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with a broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the broker’s segregation requirements.  In the event of a broker’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available.  It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited.

Note 8.
TRADING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS (CONTINUED)
 
 
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the fair value of the contracts.  Theoretically, the Partnership is exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.  As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership pays or receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option.  Written options expose the Partnership to potentially unlimited liability, and purchased options expose the Partnership to a risk of loss limited to the premiums paid.  The Partnership is also indirectly exposed to market risk on physical commodities equal to the market value of physical commodities owned.
 
 
The Partnership has a portion of its assets on deposit with a financial institution in connection with its cash management activities.  In the event of a financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of Partnership assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.
 
 
The Partnership’s investments in other commodity pools are subject to the market and credit risks of futures contracts, forward currency contracts and other derivative contracts held or sold short by these commodity pools.  The Partnership bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of its respective investment and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.  The General Partner has established risk management procedures to monitor investments in other commodity pools and seeks to minimize risk primarily by investing in commodity pools, which the General Partner and the CPO Consultant believe are reliable and creditworthy.  However, there can be no assurance that any commodity pool invested in will be able to meet its obligations to the Partnership.
 
 
The General Partner has established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so.  The General Partner’s basic market risk control procedures consist of continuously monitoring the trading activity of the various commodity trading advisors, with the actual market risk controls being applied by the CTA Consultant and the advisors themselves.  The General Partner seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Partnership’s assets at financial institutions and brokers, which the General Partner believes to be creditworthy.
 
 
The Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.
 
Note 9.
INDEMNIFICATIONS
 
 
In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications.  The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership that have not yet occurred.  The Partnership expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Reference is made to Item 1, “Financial Statements.”  The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.
 
The Partnership commenced trading on August 3, 1987.  The success of the Partnership is dependent on the ability of independent Commodity Trading Advisors (“CTAs”) and commodity trading advisors that are utilized via investing in commodity pools (collectively, the “Advisors”) to generate profits through speculative trading sufficient to produce substantial capital appreciation after payment of all fees and expenses.  Future results will depend in large part upon the futures markets in general, the performance of the Advisors for the Partnership and the amount of redemptions and changes in interest rates.  Due to the highly leveraged nature of futures trading, small price movements may result in substantial losses.  Because of the nature of these factors and their interaction, it is impossible to predict future operating results.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period.  Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 to the Financial Statements.
 
The Partnership records all investments at fair value in its financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and change in unrealized trading gain (loss) and gain (loss) from investments in other commodity pools in the Statements of Operations.  Generally, fair values are based on market prices; however, in certain circumstances, estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price (e.g., swap and forward contracts which are traded in the inter-bank market).
 
The fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices.  The fair value of non-exchange traded contract is based on third party quoted dealer values on the Interbank market.  The fair value of the Partnership’s investments in other commodity pools are ordinarily determined by each commodity pool in accordance with such commodity pool’s valuation policies and as reported by their management at the time of the Partnership’s valuation.  Generally, the fair value of the Partnership’s investment in a commodity pool represents the amount that the Partnership could reasonably expect to receive from such commodity pool if the Partnership’s investment was redeemed at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Partnership believes to be reliable.
 
 
 
36

 
 
 
A.  LIQUIDITY:  Approximately 32% of the Partnership’s assets are highly liquid, such as cash and open futures contracts.  It is possible that extreme market conditions or daily price fluctuation limits at certain exchanges could adversely affect the liquidity of open futures contracts.  There are no restrictions on the liquidity of these assets except for amounts on deposit with the brokers needed to meet margin requirements on open futures contracts.  The other estimated 68% of the Partnership’s assets is invested in other commodity pools which are subject to certain restrictions.  The restrictions on withdrawals from these commodity pools typically include a 15 to 45 day written notice for withdrawals, monthly or quarterly redemptions and the commodity pools’ ability to limit or suspend redemptions.
 
As of January 31, 2008, the managing member of SHK Diversified LLC (“SHK”) temporarily suspended future redemptions resulting in the General Partner’s decision to establish a side pocket, effective April 1, 2008, for the Partnership’s interest in SHK.  Investor units attributed to SHK were segregated into and continued to be held in a side pocket (“Restricted”) while units not attributed to SHK continued to be available for redemption in cash (“Non-Restricted”).  Effective December 31, 2008, SHK paid the Partnership approximately half of the Partnership’s redemption proceeds, equal to $1,315,742, and effective February 28, 2009, SHK paid the Partnership the remaining half of the Partnership’s redemption proceeds equal to $1,335,258.  The side pocket/Restricted share class was subsequently cancelled with existing Units either redeemed or converted to Non-Restricted shares.
 
B.  CAPITAL RESOURCES:  Since the Partnership’s business is the purchase and sale of various commodity interests, it will make few, if any, capital expenditures.
 
The Partnership’s offering of Units of Limited Partnership Interest terminated in 1995.
 
C.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  The Partnership’s net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Three months ended September 30,
  $ (1,237,162 )   $ (522,486 )
Non-Restricted
    (1,237,162 )     (609,267 )
Restricted
    0       86,781  
                 
Nine months ended September 30,
  $ (3,151,581 )   $ (267,047 )
Non-Restricted
    (3,159,675 )     (270,262 )
Restricted
    8,094       3,215  

 
As of September 30, 2009, 5,883 Units are outstanding, including 184 General Partner Units, with an aggregate Net Asset Value of $15,410,055 ($2,619.46 per Unit).  This represents a decrease in Net Asset Value of ($4,090,974) compared with December 31, 2008.  The decrease was caused by a combination of partner redemptions and trading losses for the period. Effective December 31, 2008, one-half of the 878 Restricted Units from a side pocket were either converted to Non-Restricted Units or redeemed.  Effective February 28, 2009, the second half of the Restricted Units were either converted to Non-
 
 
37

 
 
 
   Restricted Units or redeemed.  As of February 28, 2009 we no longer have Restricted Units or a side-pocket.
 
As of September 30, 2008, 6,378 Units were outstanding, including 187 General Partner Units and 819 Restricted Units, with an aggregate Net Asset Value of $18,346,014.  The aggregate Net Asset Value includes the Non-Restricted Net Asset Value of $15,915,919 ($2,863.22 per Non-Restricted Unit) and the Restricted Units Net Asset Value of $2,430,095 ($2,966.57 per Restricted Unit).  This represents a decrease in the aggregate Net Asset Value of $(3,077,813) compared with December 31, 2007.  The decrease was caused by redemptions of limited partner units in addition to a loss of 1.36% in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The Partnership ended the quarter with a gain of 1.59%.
 
D.  OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS:  Off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future obligation or loss.  The Partnership trades in futures and other commodity interest contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with
 
 
 
40

 
 
  elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk.  In entering into these contracts, the Partnership faces the market risk that these 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 commodity interest positions of the Partnership at the same time, and if the Partnership were unable to offset positions, the Partnership could lose all of its assets and the limited partners would realize a 100% loss.  The Partnership minimizes market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 25%.  All positions of the Partnership are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis.
 
In addition to market risk, in entering into commodity interest contracts there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Partnership.  The counterparty for futures and options on futures contracts traded in the United States and on most non-U.S. futures exchanges is the clearing organization associated with such exchange.  In general, clearing organizations are backed by the corporate members of the clearing organization who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk.
 
In cases where the clearing organization is not backed by the clearing members, like some non-U.S. exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.
 
In the case of forward contracts, over-the-counter options contracts or swap contracts, which are traded on the interbank or other institutional market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a central clearing organization backed by a group of financial institutions.  As a result, there likely will be greater counterparty credit risk in these transactions.  The Partnership trades only with those counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy.  Nonetheless, the clearing member, clearing organization or other counterparty to these transactions may not be able to meet its obligations to the Partnership, in which case the Partnership could suffer significant losses on these contracts.
 
In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications.  The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership that have not yet occurred.  The Partnership expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.
 
E.  CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:  None.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
The Partnership is a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and therefore this item is not required.

Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures.
 
ProFutures, Inc., as General Partner of ProFutures Diversified Fund, L.P., with the participation of the General Partner’s President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Partnership as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based on their evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
 
There were no changes in the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Partnership identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Partnership.

None.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
 
The Partnership is a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and therefore this item is not required.
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
(a) None.
 
(b) Not applicable.
 
(c) Effective April 1, 2008, investor units attributed to the investment in SHK were segregated into and held in a side pocket due to SHK’s temporary suspension of redemptions, while units not attributed to SHK continued to be available for redemption in cash.  Effective February 28, 2009, SHK paid the Partnership the balance of the Partnership’s redemption proceeds.  The side pocket/Restricted share class was subsequently cancelled with existing Units either redeemed or converted to Non-Restricted shares.
 
Pursuant to the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement, partners may redeem their Limited Partnership Units at the end of each calendar month at the then current Net Asset Value per Unit.  The redemption of Units has no impact on the value of Units that remain outstanding, and Units are not reissued once redeemed.
 
The right to obtain redemption is contingent upon the Partnership’s having property sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the redemption date and may be delayed if the General partner determines that early liquidation of the commodity interest positions to meet redemption payments would be detrimental to the Partnership or non-redeeming Limited Partners. 
 
Under certain circumstances, including but not limited to, the inability to liquidate commodity positions or a delay in payment due the Partnership from commodity brokers, banks, commodity pools or other persons, the Partnership may in turn delay payment to Partners requesting redemption units.  In that event, payment for redemption of such units will be made to Limited Partners as soon as thereafter is practicable.
 
The following table summarizes the redemptions, excluding those that are not effective until subsequent periods, by partners during the three months ended September 30, 2009 for Non-Restricted Units:
