PART I
Item 1. Business.
(a) General Development of Business. Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York on December 3, 2002 to engage, directly or indirectly, in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, lumber, metals and softs. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
     A Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering of 300,000 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) became effective March 27, 2003. Between March 27, 2003 (commencement of the offering period) and April 30, 2003, 36,616 Redeemable Units were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until April 30, 2003, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for trading.
     A second Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering of 1,000,000 Redeemable Units (including the 300,000 Redeemable Units that had been previously registered) became effective on December 4, 2003. As of that date 260,732.3028 Redeemable Units had been sold.
     A third Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering of 2,000,000 Redeemable Units (including the 1,000,000 Redeemable Units that had been previously registered) became effective on October 7, 2004. As of that date 807,449.3782 Redeemable Units had been sold.
     A fourth Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering of 2,000,000 Redeemable Units previously registered became effective on June 30, 2005. As of that date 1,027,701.7549 Redeemable Units had been sold. The public offering of Redeemable Units terminated on November 30, 2008. The Partnership currently privately and continuously offers up to 200,000 Redeemable Units to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.
     Redemptions of additional Redeemable Units and additional general partner contributions and redemptions of Redeemable Units for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are reported in the Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital on page F-14 under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
     Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Partnership, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
     As of December 31, 2009, all trading decisions are made for the Partnership by Drury Capital, Inc., (“Drury”), Graham Capital Management L.P., (“Graham”), John W. Henry & Company, Inc., (“JWH”), Willowbridge Associates Inc. (“Willowbridge”), Aspect Capital Limited (“Aspect”), Capital Fund Management S.A. (“CFM”), Winton Capital Management Limited (“Winton”), AAA Capital Management Advisors, Ltd. (“AAA”) and SandRidge Capital L.P.

(“Avant”) was terminated as of January 31, 2009. SandRidge was added as an advisor to the Partnership on March 1, 2009. The Advisors are not affiliated with one another, are not affiliated with the General Partner/managing member or CGM and are not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. A description of the trading activities and focus of the Advisors is included on page 9 under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
     The General Partner has agreed to make capital contributions, if necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater of (1) an amount that will entitle the General Partner to an interest of at least 1% in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and (2) the greater of (i) 1% of the partners’ contributions to the Partnership or (ii) $25,000. The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2022; the net asset value of a Redeemable Unit decreased to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of the close of any trading day; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).

     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 their initial capital contribution and profit, if any, net of distributions.
     Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year), except for Aspect, which will receive a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% per year), of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisor. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating management fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of the current month’s incentive fee accruals, the monthly management fees and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
     In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements, earned by each Advisor for the Partnership during each calender quarter.
     The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) which provides that the Partnership will pay CGM a monthly brokerage commission equal to 0.46% (5.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets, in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating commissions, are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of the current month’s brokerage commissions, incentive fee accruals, the monthly management fees and other expenses and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. CGM will pay a portion of its brokerage commissions to financial advisors who have sold Redeemable Units in the Partnership. Brokerage commissions will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such commissions are paid may be changed. The Partnership directly and through its investment in the Funds will pay for the clearing fees. In addition, CGM has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s (or the Partnership’s allocable portion of a Fund’s) account during each month. The interest is earned at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average noncompetitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. CGM will pay such interest to the Partnership out of its own funds whether or not it is able to earn the interest it has obligated itself to pay. Alternatively, CGM may place up to all of the Partnership’s (or a Fund’s) assets in 90-day U.S. Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the interest (or the Partnership’s allocable share thereof) earned on Treasury bills purchased. Twenty percent of the interest earned on Treasury bills purchased may be retained by CGM and/or credited to the General Partner. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     As a result of leverage, small changes in the price of the Partnership’s positions may result in major losses.
          The trading of commodity interests is speculative, volatile and involves a high degree of leverage. A small change in the market price of a commodity interest contract can produce major losses for the Partnership. Market prices can be influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events, weather and climate conditions, insects and plant disease, purchases and sales by foreign countries and changing interest rates.
     An investor may lose all of their investment.
          Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, an investor could lose all of their investment in the Partnership.
     The Partnership will pay substantial fees and expenses regardless of profitability.
          Regardless of its trading performance, the Partnership will incur fees and expenses, including brokerage and management fees. Substantial incentive fees may be paid to one or more of the Advisors even if the Partnership experiences a net loss for the full year.
     An investor’s ability to redeem or transfer units is limited.
          An investor’s ability to redeem units is limited and no market exists for the units.
     Conflicts of interest exist.
          The Partnership is subject to numerous conflicts of interest including those that arise from the facts that:
  1.   The General Partner and commodity broker are affiliates;
 
  2.   Each of the Advisors, the commodity broker and their principals and affiliates may trade in commodity interests for their own accounts; and
 
  3.   An investor’s financial advisor will receive ongoing compensation for providing services to the investor’s account.
     Investing in units might not provide the desired diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio.
          The Partnership will not provide any benefit of diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio unless it is profitable and produces returns that are independent from stock and bond market returns.
     Past performance is no assurance of future results.
          The Advisors’ trading strategies may not perform as they have performed in the past. The Advisors have from time to time incurred substantial losses in trading on behalf of clients.
     An investor’s tax liability may exceed cash distributions.
          Investors are taxed on their share of the Partnership’s income, even though the Partnership does not intend to make any distributions.
     The General Partner may allocate the Partnership’s assets to undisclosed advisors.
          The General Partner at any time may select and allocate the Partnership’s assets to undisclosed advisors. Investors may not be advised of such changes in advance. Investors must rely on the ability of the General Partner to select commodity trading advisors and allocate assets among them.

     Regulatory changes could restrict the Partnership’s operations.
     Regulatory changes could adversely affect the Partnership by restricting its markets or activities, limiting its trading and/or increasing the taxes to which investors are subject. The General Partner is not aware of any definitive regulatory developments that might adversely affect the Partnership; however, since June 2008, several bills have been proposed in the U.S. Congress in response to record energy and agricultural prices and the financial crisis. Some of the pending legislation, if enacted, could impact the manner in which swap contracts are traded and/or settled and limit trading by speculators (such as the Partnership) in futures and over-the-counter markets. One of the proposals would authorize the CFTC and the Commission to regulate swap transactions. Other potentially adverse regulatory initiatives could develop suddenly and without notice.
     Speculative position and trading limits may reduce profitability.
     The CFTC and U.S. exchanges have established speculative position limits on the maximum net long or net short positions which any person may hold or control in particular futures and options on futures. The trading instructions of an advisor may have to be modified, and positions held by the Partnership may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding these limits. Such modification or liquidation could adversely affect the operations and profitability of the Partnership by increasing transaction costs to liquidate positions and foregoing potential profits.
Item 2. Properties.
     The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The General Partner operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, Citigroup.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
     This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which CGM is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.
     CGM is a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388 Greenwich St., New York, New York 10013. CGM is registered as a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (“FCM’’), and provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional and retail participants in the futures markets. CGM and its affiliates also provide investment banking and other financial services for clients worldwide.
     There have been no material administrative, civil or criminal actions within the past five years against CGM (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney) or any of its individual principals and no such actions are currently pending, except as follows.
     Mutual Funds
     Several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. Citigroup has received subpoenas and other requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, financing, fees, sales practices and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. Citigroup is cooperating with all such reviews. Additionally, Citigroup Global Markets has entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to revenue sharing and sales of classes of funds.
     On May 31, 2005, Citigroup announced that Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and Citigroup Global Markets completed a settlement with the SEC resolving an investigation by the SEC into matters relating to arrangements between certain Smith Barney mutual funds, an affiliated transfer agent and an unaffiliated sub-transfer agent. Under the terms of the settlement, Citigroup agreed to pay fines totaling $208.1 million. The settlement, in which Citigroup neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing or liability, includes allegations of willful misconduct by Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and Citigroup Global Markets in failing to disclose aspects of the transfer agent arrangements to certain mutual fund investors.
     In May 2007, Citigroup Global Markets finalized its settlement agreement with the NYSE and the New Jersey Bureau of Securities on the matter related to its market-timing practices prior to September 2003.
     FINRA Settlement
     On October 12, 2009, FINRA announced its acceptance of an Award Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) in which Citigroup Global Markets, without admitting or denying the findings, consented to the entry of the AWC and a fine and censure of $600,000. The AWC includes findings that Citigroup Global Markets failed to adequately supervise the activities of its equities trading desk in connection with swap and related hedge trades in U.S. and Italian equities that were designed to provide certain perceived tax advantages. Citigroup Global Markets was charged with failing to provide for effective written procedures with respect to the implementation of the trades, failing to monitor Bloomberg messages and failing to properly report certain of the trades to the NASDAQ.
     Auction Rate Securities
     On May 31, 2006, the SEC instituted and simultaneously settled proceedings against Citigroup Global Markets and 14 other broker-dealers regarding practices in the Auction Rate Securities market. The SEC alleged that the broker-dealers violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The broker-dealers, without admitting or denying liability, consented to the entry of an SEC cease-and-desist order providing for censures, undertakings and penalties. Citigroup Global Markets paid a penalty of $1.5 million.
     On August 7, 2008, Citigroup reached a settlement with the New York Attorney General, the SEC, and other state regulatory agencies, pursuant to which Citigroup agreed to offer to purchase at par Auction Rate Securities from all Citigroup individual investors, small institutions (as defined by the terms of the settlement), and charities that purchased Auction Rate Securities from Citigroup prior to February 11, 2008. In addition, Citigroup agreed to pay a $50 million fine to the State of New York and a $50 million fine to the other state regulatory agencies.
     Subprime-Mortgage Related Actions
     Citigroup and certain of its affiliates are subject to formal and informal investigations, as well as subpoenas and/or requests for information, from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies relating to subprime mortgage—related activities. Citigroup and its affiliates are cooperating fully and are engaged in discussions on these matters.
     Credit Crisis Related Matters
     Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, certain of Citigroup’s, and Citigroup Global Market’s regulators and other state and federal government agencies commenced formal and informal investigations and inquiries, and issued subpoenas and requested information, concerning Citigroup’s subprime mortgage-related conduct and business activities. Citigroup and certain of its affiliates, including Citigroup Global Markets, are involved in discussions with certain of its regulators to resolve certain of these matters.
     Certain of these regulatory matters assert claims for substantial or indeterminate damages. Some of these matters already have been resolved, either through settlements or court proceedings, including the complete dismissal of certain complaints or the rejection of certain claims following hearings.
     In the course of its business, CGM, as a major futures commission merchant and broker-dealer, is a party to various civil actions, claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings that the general partner believes do not have a material effect on the business of CGM.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
     The Partnership aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation and permit investors to diversify a traditionally structured stock and bond portfolio. The Partnership attempts to accomplish its objectives through speculative trading in U.S. and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products and precious and base metals directly, or through investments in the Funds. The Partnership may employ futures, swaps, options on futures, and forward contracts in those markets.
     The General Partner manages all business of the Partnership/Funds. The General Partner has delegated its responsibility for the investment of the Partnership’s assets to the Advisors. The General Partner employs a team of approximately 20 professionals whose primary emphasis is on attempting to maintain quality control among the Advisors to the partnerships operated or managed by the General Partner. A full-time staff of due diligence professionals use state-of-the-art technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities. In selecting the Advisors for the Partnership, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements.
     Responsibilities of the General Partner include:
    due diligence examinations of the Advisors;
 
    selection, appointment and termination of the Advisors;
 
    negotiation of the management agreements; and
 
    monitoring the activity of the Advisors.
     In addition, the General Partner prepares the books and records and provides the administrative and compliance services that are required by law or regulation from time to time in connection with the operation of the Partnership. These services include the preparation of required books and records and reports to limited partners, government agencies and regulators; computation of net asset value; calculation of fees; effecting subscriptions, redemptions and limited partner communications; and preparation of offering documents and sales literature.
     The General Partner seeks the best prices and services available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions.

     The programs traded by each Advisor on behalf of the Partnership are: Drury — Diversified Trend-Following Program, Graham — K4D-12.5 Program (“K4D”), JWH — Global Analytics Program, Aspect — Diversified Program, CFM — Discus Program, Winton — Diversified Program, AAA — Energy Program — Futures and Swaps (“Energy”), Willowbridge — Argo Trading System (“Argo”) and SandRidge — Energy Program. As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s assets were allocated among the Advisors in the following approximate percentages: Drury 11%, Graham 11%, JWH 5%, Aspect 13%, CFM 19%, Winton 12%, AAA 10%, Willowbridge 9% and SandRidge 10%. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets among trading advisors at any time and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.
Drury Capital, Inc.
     Drury trades its Diversified Trend-Following Program on behalf of Drury Master. The Diversified Trend-Following program is systematic and technical. Drury may exercise judgment regarding liquidity issues. Systematic traders rely primarily on trading programs or models that generate trading signals. The systems utilized to generate trading signals are changed from time to time (although generally infrequently), but the trading instructions generated by the system being used are followed without significant additional analysis or interpretation.
     The Diversified Trend-Following Program is built on elements of trend-following and diversification. The program emphasizes diversification by trading metals, agricultural products, foreign exchange, stock indices, energy products, financial instruments and tropical products (softs).
     The Diversified Trend-Following Program trades 30 portfolio instruments and is generally positioned in 18 of these instruments on average. Positions can be short as well as long. The Diversified Trend-Following Program has no market or sector bias, as Drury believes that each instrument can produce long-term profits through the application of independent technical analysis and risk management.
     Graham Capital Management, L.P.
     Graham trades its K4D program on behalf of Graham Master. The K4D program allocates assets equally among four other distinct Graham trading programs.
     Graham trades actively in both U.S. and foreign markets, primarily in futures contracts, forward contracts, spot contracts and associated derivative instruments such as options and swaps. Graham engages in exchange for physical transactions, which involve the exchange of a futures position for the underlying physical commodity without making an open competitive trade on an exchange. Graham at times will trade certain instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts, as a substitute for futures or options traded on futures exchanges.
     Graham’s trading systems rely primarily on technical rather than fundamental information as the basis for their trading decisions. Graham’s systems are based on the expectation that they can over time successfully anticipate market events using quantitative mathematical models to determine their trading activities, as opposed to attempting properly to forecast price trends using subjective analysis of supply and demand.
     John W. Henry & Company, Inc.
     JWH trades its JWH Global Analytics Program on behalf of the Partnership, a systematic trading program. Since the firm’s inception, the JWH investment philosophy has been based on the premise that market prices, rather than market fundamentals, are the key aggregators of information necessary to make investment decisions and that market prices, which may at first seem random, are actually related through time in complex, but discernable ways.
     Global Analytics invests in both long- and short-term price movements. The program invests in a broad spectrum of worldwide financial and non-financial markets, including interest rate, non-U.S. stock index, currency, metals, energy and agricultural contracts. GlobalAnalytics uses JWH’s five phase investment style (a position is maintained, long or short, in a market at all times) and JWH’s three phase investment style (positions are taken when trends are identified, but the program may take a neutral stance or liquidate open positions in non-trending markets).

Willowbridge Associates Inc.
     Willowbridge trades its Select Investment Program using the Argo Trading System on behalf of Willowbridge Master. Argo is a computerized systematic trading system that relies on technical information. It is not a trend-following system, but does follow a trend when the opportunity arises. Argo uses the concepts of pattern recognition, support/resistance levels and counter trend liquidations in making trading decisions. Argo determines, on a daily basis, whether to be long, short or flat the various commodities in its portfolio.
     Pattern recognition, support/resistance levels and counter-trend liquidations are defined as follows:
     Pattern recognition is the ability to identify patterns that appear to have acted as precursors of price advances or declines in the past.
     A support level is a previous low—a price level under the current market price at which point buying interest is expected to be sufficiently strong to overcome selling pressure.
     A resistance level is a previous high—a price level over the current market price at which point selling pressure is expected to overcome buying pressure and a price advance is expected to be turned back.
     A counter-trend liquidation is the closing out of a position after a significant price move on the assumption that the market is due for a correction.
     Aspect Capital Limited.
     Aspect trades its Diversified Program on behalf of Aspect Master. The Diversified Program is a systematic global futures trading program. Its goal is the generation of significant long-term capital growth independent of stock and bond market returns. This program continuously monitors price movements in a wide range of global financial, currency and commodity markets, searching for profit opportunities over periods ranging from a few hours to several months.
     Aspect has designed the Diversified Program to have broad market diversification (subject to liquidity constraints). Aspect’s quantitative resources are sufficient to enable it to design and implement a broadly diversified portfolio with a significant allocation to numerous different markets.
     Aspect’s Diversified Program trades over 100 markets in the seven major sectors: currencies, energy, metals, stock indices, bonds, agricultural commodities and interest rates implementing momentum strategies. Aspect is constantly examining new liquid and uncorrelated markets to incorporate in the program with the aim of improving its reward/risk ratio and capacity. Aspect has no market or sector preferences, believing that allowing for liquidity effects, equal profitability can be achieved in the long-term in all markets. The key factors in determining the asset allocation are correlation and liquidity. Correlations are analyzed at the sector, sub-sector, economic block and market levels to design a portfolio which is highly diversified.
     Capital Fund Management S.A.
     CFM trades its Discus Program on behalf of the Partnership. The Discus Program is a multi-strategy, 100% statistical and systematic program that seeks to identify prevailing market conditions and adopt the most efficient trading strategy for those conditions. The strategy at times follows medium to long term trends, and at other times establishes short term positions in the direction of or opposite a trend.
     CFM has designed the Discus Program to trade a diversified portfolio of approximately 50 futures and forward contracts among the following sectors: short, medium and long term interest rates, stock indices, currencies and commodities.
     Winton Capital Management Limited.
     Winton trades its Diversified Program on behalf of Winton Master. The Diversified Program trades approximately 95 futures and forward contracts on United States and non- United States exchanges and markets.
     Winton employs a fully systematic, computerized, technical, trend-following trading system developed by its principals. This system tracks the daily price movements from these markets around the world, and carries out certain computations to determine each day how long

11


 

or short the portfolio should be in an attempt to maximize profit within a certain range of risk. If rising prices in a particular market are anticipated, a long position will be established in that market; if prices in a particular market are expected to fall, a short position in that market will be established.
     Technical analysis refers to analysis based on data intrinsic to a market, such as price and volume. In contrast, fundamental analysis relies on factors external to a market, such as supply and demand. The Diversified Program employs no fundamental factors.
     A trend-following system is one that attempts to take advantage of the observable tendency of the markets to trend, and to tend to make exaggerated movements in both upward and downward directions as a result of such trends. These exaggerated movements are largely explained as a result of the influence of crowd psychology or the “herd instinct” among market participants.
     A trend-following system does not anticipate a trend. In fact, trend-following systems are frequently unprofitable for long periods of time in particular markets or market groups, and occasionally they are unprofitable for periods of more than a year. However, the principals believe that such an approach will, in the long term, be profitable.
     Trade selection is not subject to intervention by Winton’s principals and therefore is not subject to the influences of individual judgment. As a mechanical trading system, the Winton model embodies all the expert knowledge required to analyze market data and direct trades, thus eliminating the risk of basing a trading program on one indispensable person. Equally as important is the fact that mechanical systems can be tested in simulation for long periods of time and the model’s empirical characteristics can be measured.
     The system’s output is rigorously adhered to in trading the portfolio and intentionally no importance is given to any external or fundamental factors. While it may be seen as unwise to ignore information of obvious value, such as that pertaining to political or economic developments, Winton believes that the disadvantage of this approach is far outweighed by the advantage of the discipline that rigorous adherence to such a system instills. Winton believes that significant profits may be realized by the Winton system by holding on to positions for much longer than conventional wisdom would dictate. Winton believes that a trader who pays attention to day-to-day events could be distracted from the chance of fully capitalizing on such trends.
     The Winton system trades in all liquid U.S. and non-U.S. futures and forward contracts. Forward markets include major currencies and precious and base metals, the latter two categories being traded on the London Metal Exchange. Winton seeks out new opportunities to add additional markets to the portfolio, with the goal of increasing the portfolio’s diversification.
     Winton believes that taking positions in a variety of unrelated markets will, over time, decrease system volatility. By employing a sophisticated and systematic method for placing orders in a wide array of markets, Winton believes that profits can be realized over time.
     AAA Capital Management Adviors, Ltd.
     AAA trades its Energy Program on behalf of AAA Master, and thereby the Partnership’s, assets in accordance with its Energy Program — Futures and Swaps, a discretionary trading program.
     AAA Master currently trades energy futures contracts and options on energy futures contracts on domestic and international exchanges, as well as the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (an index future comprised of energy and other products) traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. AAA Master also currently engages in swap transactions involving crude oil and other energy related products. References herein to energy and energy related products include all of the foregoing.
     AAA generally bases its trading decisions on “fundamental” factors, namely supply and demand for a particular group or type of commodity. AAA attempts to buy undervalued commodities and sell overvalued commodities, often but not always simultaneously. AAA uses options to attempt either to reduce or define risks.
     AAA is aware of price trends but does not trade upon trends. AAA often takes profits in positions with specific trends even though that trend may still be intact or perhaps even strong. AAA occasionally establishes positions that are countertrend.
     Effective risk management is a crucial aspect of AAA’s trading program. Account size, expectation, volatility of the market traded and the nature of other positions taken are all factors in determining the amount of equity committed to each trade. AAA Master is AAA’s largest account.

12


 

     SandRidge Capital, L.P.
     SandRidge trades the Partnership’s assets in accordance with its Energy Program. SandRidge primarily attempts to achieve the Partnership’s objective through the speculative trading of energy-related commodity interests, including, but not limited to, natural gas, crude oil, heating oil and gasoline. With the prior approval of the General Partner, SandRidge may trade in other commodity interests that are now traded, or may be traded in the future, on exchanges and markets located in the United States and abroad.
     SandRidge is a discretionary trader that employs primarily fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis examines factors external to the trading market that affect the supply and demand for a particular group or type of commodity in order to predict future prices. Effective risk management is an important aspect of SandRidge’s trading program. An account’s size, volatility of the market traded and the nature of other positions taken are all factors used in deciding whether to initiate a position and in determining the amount of equity committed to that position. While SandRidge relies heavily on fundamental research to develop its overall point of view, it also employs technical analysis in its trading to help determine entry and exit points. Technical analysis includes moving averages, index rolls and Stochastic/relative strength indicators. Technical analysis is based on the theory that the study of the markets themselves provides a means of anticipating price movements. SandRidge may employ various strategies for phasing an account in and out of the markets. Entry points are based on a number of price breakout and retracement indicators. Position exits are based on multiple strategies including trailing stops, target prices and technical reversals. If SandRidge believes that the markets traded are unstable, SandRidge may temporarily reduce positions or exit the markets entirely and therefore hold no open positions for a period of time. SandRidge estimates that, generally, 10% to 15% of the Partnership’s assets allocated to SandRidge will be committed to margin at any one time. The actual amount committed as such may be substantially more. Trading decisions will require the exercise of judgment by SandRidge.
     SandRidge’s success depends to a great extent upon the occurrence of market conditions favorable to its trading strategy. Factors such as lack of major price trends or increased governmental control of, or participation in, the markets, may reduce SandRidge’s ability to trade profitably in the future.
     No assurance can be given that the Advisors’ strategies will be successful or that they will generate profits for the Partnership.
     For the period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the average allocation by commodity market sector for each of the Funds was as follows:

     (a) Liquidity.
     The Partnership does not engage in the sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s assets are its (i) investment in partnerships, (ii) equity in its trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, and (iii) interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009.
     To minimize this risk relating to low margin deposits, the Partnership follows certain trading policies, including:
  (i)   The Partnership/Funds invests their assets only in commodity interests that the Advisors believes are traded in sufficient volume to permit ease of taking and liquidating positions. Sufficient volume, in this context, refers to a level of liquidity that the Advisor believes will permit it to enter and exit trades without noticeably moving the market.
 
  (ii)   An Advisor will not initiate additional positions in any commodity if these positions would result in aggregate positions requiring a margin of more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to that Advisor.
 
  (iii)   The Partnership/Funds may occasionally accept delivery of a commodity. Unless such delivery is disposed of promptly by retendering the warehouse receipt representing the delivery to the appropriate clearinghouse, the physical commodity position is fully hedged.
 
  (iv)   The Partnership/Funds do not employ the trading technique commonly known as “pyramiding,” in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions as margin for the purchases or sale of additional positions in the same or related commodities.
 
  (v)   The Partnership/Funds do not utilize borrowings other than short-term borrowings if the Partnership/Funds take delivery of any cash commodities.

  (vi)   The Advisors may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership/Funds. The term “spread” or “straddle” describes a commodity 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.
 
  (vii)   The Partnership/Funds will not permit the churning of its commodity trading account. The term “churning” refers to the practice of entering and exiting trades with a frequency unwarranted by legitimate efforts to profit from the trades, driven by the desire to generate commission income.
     From January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s average margin to equity ratio (i.e., the percentage of assets on deposit required for margin) was approximately 11.2%. The foregoing margin to equity ratio takes into account cash held in the Partnership’s name, as well as the allocable value of the positions and cash held on behalf of the Partnership in the name of the Funds.
     In the normal course of business, the Partnership and the Funds are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include swaps and certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
     Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership/Funds 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. The Partnership/Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
     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. The Partnership’s/Funds’ risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership’s/Funds’ risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership/Funds to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership/Funds have credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Partnership’s/Funds’ counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
     As both a buyer and seller of options, the Funds pay or receive a premium at the outset and then bear the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Funds to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Funds do not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in ASC 460, Guarantees (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees”).
     The General Partner/managing member monitors and attempts to control the Partnership’s/Funds’ 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/Funds may be subject. These monitoring systems generally 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. (See also “Item 8. Financial Statements 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 and other derivatives trading, the Partnership knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which will result in or which are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner may, in its discretion, cause the

14


 

Partnership to cease trading operations and liquidate all open positions under certain circumstances including a decrease in Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit to less than $400 as of the close of business on any trading day.
     (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 trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on trading cannot be predicted. Market movements in commodities are dependent upon fundamental and technical factors which the Advisors may or may not be able to identify, such as changing supply and demand relationships, weather, government, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. Partnership expenses consist of, among other things, brokerage commissions and advisory fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon trading performance and the level of Net Assets maintained. In addition, the amount of interest income payable by CGM 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. A Limited Partner may require the Partnership to redeem their Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of any month on 10 days’ notice to the General Partner. There is no fee charged to Limited Partners in connection with redemptions. Redemptions generally are funded out of the Partnership’s cash holdings. For the year ended December 31, 2009, 186,428.5326 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $234,571,753 and General Partner’s redemption representing 2,188.2548 Unit equivalents totaling $2,681,072. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 207,556.2917 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $239,169,501. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 245,925.1928 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $232,324,170.
     For the year ended December 31, 2009, there were additional sales of 51,211.7956 Redeemable Units totaling $63,653,869. For the year ended December 31, 2008, there were additional sales of 181,317.5434 Redeemable Units totaling $206,908,278 and General Partner’s contribution representing 902.0630 Unit equivalents totaling $1,000,000. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were additional sales of 103,235.6457 Redeemable Units totaling $96,929,000.
     (c) Results of Operations.
     For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreased 6.0% from $1,290.46 to $1,212.71. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 28.2% from $1,006.61 to $1,290.46. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 7.6% from $935.79 to $1,006.61.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $19,118,764 before brokerage commissions and expenses in 2009. Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading in livestock, metals and indices and were partially offset by losses in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, lumber and softs.
     2009 was a volatile year for the financial markets. The U.S. stock market entered 2009 reeling from the financial turmoil of 2008. The results of the sub-prime fallout, bank bailouts, auto industry bankruptcies, and capitulating economic data overwhelmed not just stock prices, but fueled extraordinarily high levels of risk aversion. The market’s recovery was driven by stability in the banking sector and a rapid recovery in global markets. By mid-year 2009, the market had hit bottom in March, banks were seeking to return TARP bailout money and other leading indicators were recovering. The Partnership realized losses due to volatile trends. The volatility was due to sensitivity to news shocks and contrary economic data.
     Losses were realized in trading fixed income instruments. With the economic backdrop of 2009, yields started to exhibit asymmetric volatility due to extreme uncertainty prevailing in the longer time horizon. Encouraged by the continuing efforts of the Obama administration to stabilize the U.S. economy, the markets finally began to recover a degree of risk-taking confidence in March, resulting in the reversal of many of the trends that had driven returns in late 2008. In agricultural commodities, losses were realized primarily in corn and wheat. Prices of corn and wheat both unexpectedly rallied in October as cold, wet weather threatened to delay harvest and concerns over the acres likely to be seeded for the new crop. Losses were also taken in trading of currencies, primarily in December as the Japanese Yen reversed sharply on the Japanese government’s dissatisfaction over the high value of the Yen.

     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $325,603,820 before brokerage commissions and expenses in 2008. Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading in currencies, energy, grains, indices, lumber, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals and softs.
     In 2008, the liquidity crisis that began in 2007 rapidly spread to all corners of the globe, significantly pushing down global economic growth and presenting the U.S. economy with the hardest challenges since the Great Depression. During the year, the world’s credit markets virtually seized up, commodity prices plunged and most major equity indices declined dramatically, while some of the largest U.S. financial institutions were under pressure. Faced with unprecedented rapid deterioration in economic data and outlook, and fearing a snowball adverse effect of the credit crunch, global central banks reacted with aggressive campaigns of interest rate cuts and coordinated capital injections. As the markets re-priced the cost of risk, several strong trends emerged. The Partnership strongly capitalized on the trends and was profitable in all the sectors.
     Profits were primarily realized from trading in energy, fixed income and equity indices. The Partnership realized most of the profits in the energy sector by capturing both the bullish and the bearish trends. In the earlier part of the year, crude oil pushed towards a historic high of $147 per barrel and in the latter part, the trend suddenly reversed and a strong negative trend emerged with crude oil dropping to about $32 per barrel. Natural gas also contributed to profits as prices plunged from $14 to about $5 per MMBtu. The Partnership was also profitable in interest rates as the yield on short term notes dropped significantly. Short term U.S. Treasury bills were in such high demand due to flight-to-quality that the yields had dropped below zero during the year. While the 10-year T-bill yielded on an average between 3.5%-4% for most of the year, the yield dropped to 2% in December. Non-U.S. interest rates also showed tremendous volatility as the rates dropped precipitously due to the actions of the central banks. Global equity indices also contributed to the gains as indices continued to test multi-year lows. As financial institutions continued to write off the assets and as bankruptcies loomed, investors lost confidence in the equity markets. Futures markets offered greater flexibility as the SEC temporarily banned short selling in the equity markets.
     Interest income on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s (or the Partnership’s allocable portion of a Fund’s) brokerage account was earned at the monthly average 30-day U.S. Treasury bill yield. CGM may continue to maintain the Partnership’s assets in cash and/or place up to all of the Partnership’s (or a Fund’s) assets in 90-day Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the interest (or the Partnership’s allocable share thereof) earned on the Treasury bills purchased. Twenty percent of the interest earned on Treasury bills purchased may be retained by CGM and/or credited to the General Partner. Interest income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $262,221 and $8,034,913, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease is due to a decrease in the average interest rate over the corresponding periods. Interest earned by the Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depends on the average daily equity in the Partnership’s and the Funds’ accounts and upon interest rates over which neither the Partnership nor CGM has control.
     Brokerage commissions are calculated on the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $3,026,242 and $3,658,743, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in brokerage commissions is primarily due to a decrease in average net assets during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.
     Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions. Management fees for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $1,047,269 and $1,285,729, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in management fees is due to a decrease in average net assets during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.
     Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by each Advisor at the end of the quarter as defined in the management agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 resulted in an incentive fees accrual of $643,364 and $6,244,781, respectively. Trading performance for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 resulted in an incentive fees accrual of $13,265,101 and $30,928,566, respectively.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $103,467,970 before brokerage commissions and expenses in 2007. Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading in currencies, energy, grains, indices, lumber, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses recognized in the trading of metals and softs.
     During 2007, the Partnership profited from macro-economic developments that stimulated volatility and asset price trends of a favorable duration to the underlying Advisor’s trading strategies. Negative developments in the U.S. mortgage markets and the increasing probability of recession resonated throughout the capital and commodity markets. A surge in volatility in the global equity markets in February was driven by a tumble in Chinese stock valuations that curbed sentiment for global risk assets and sparked a material sell-off in global stock prices. The year would go on to be highlighted by two additional measurable equity market corrections in the summer and fall. By mid-summer, dislocations in U.S. asset-backed and mortgage-backed credit markets emerged as the central focal point of global capital markets. The ensuing re-pricing of credit risk resulted in a flight-to-quality driving a rally in prices of sovereign debt, especially in the U.S. Treasury markets as the Federal Open Market Committee acted rapidly to stem the negative implications for growth. As a result of the series of rate cuts and negative economic data, the U.S. dollar became less attractive and weakened materially against most major currencies during the latter part of the year. Commodity markets continued to signal inflation, further clouding the economic landscape, as global demand for most food and raw materials continued to be robust. Prices moved rather erratically at times.
     Profits were realized in fixed income trading as turbulence in asset backed credit markets became a catalyst for significant directional moves in yields and strong bias towards price rallies across Treasury curves. Gains were also generated by substantially rising oil prices, which reached all-time contract highs due to robust global demand, ongoing geopolitical concerns and increased speculative participation in the commodity. The Partnership also benefited from persistent trends in the currency sector, notably in the Japanese Yen, New Zealand Dollar and British Pounds.
     Trading gains were offset slightly by losses related to trading in metals and soft commodities. Periodic sporadic rallies in the U.S. dollar negatively impacted positions in certain precious metals, which tend to demonstrate inverse price movements. Prices of industrial metals also moved erratically during most of the year, mainly due to fluctuating estimates of Chinese and emerging market economic growth resulting in unfavorable price action for the Advisors. Losses were also experienced in trading soft commodities such as coffee and cocoa. Excess exports from growers in Africa and Indonesia in the month of August resulted in a surprising fall in process driven by increased supply.
     In the General Partner’s opinion, the Advisors continue to employ trading methods and produce results consistent with their expected performance given market conditions and the objectives of the Partnership. The General Partner continues to monitor the Advisors’ performance on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis to assure these objectives are met.
     Commodity 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, other than AAA and SandRidge, 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.
     In allocating the assets of the Partnership among the trading advisors, the General Partner considers past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets among the trading advisors and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.
     (d) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. None.
     (e) Contractual Obligations.  None
     (f) Operational Risk.
     The Partnership is directly exposed to market risk and credit risk, which arise in the normal course of its business activities. Slightly less direct, but of critical importance, are risks pertaining to operational and back office support. This is particularly the case in a rapidly changing and increasingly global environment with increasing transaction volumes and an expansion in the number and complexity of products in the marketplace.
     Such risks include:
     Operational/Settlement Risk — the risk of financial and opportunity loss and legal liability attributable to operational problems, such as inaccurate pricing of transactions, untimely trade execution, clearance and/or settlement, or the inability to process large volumes of transactions. The Partnership is subject to increased risks with respect to its trading activities in emerging market securities, where clearance, settlement, and custodial risks are often greater than in more established markets.
     Technological Risk — the risk of loss attributable to technological limitations or hardware failure that constrain the Partnership’s ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers within the Partnership, and in the markets where the Partnership participates.

16


 

     Legal/Documentation Risk — the risk of loss attributable to deficiencies in the documentation of transactions (such as trade confirmations) and customer relationships (such as master netting agreements) or errors that result in noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
     Financial Control Risk — the risk of loss attributable to limitations in financial systems and controls. Strong financial systems and controls ensure that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, and that financial information utilized by management and communicated to external parties, including the Partnership’s unit holders, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors.
     (g) Critical Accounting Policies.
     Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
     Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnership is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
     Partnership’s and the Funds’ Investments. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     Partnership’s and the Funds’ Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership and the Funds adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. The Partnership and the Funds did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
     The Partnership and the Funds consider prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in partnerships (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investments in partnerships reflects its proportional interest in the partnerships. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 amd 2008, the Partnership and the Funds did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
     Futures Contracts. The Partnership and the Funds trade futures contracts. Exchange cleared swaps included in futures and exchange cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the Funds. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

17


 

     Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Funds agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Funds’ net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts. Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Funds are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     Options. The Funds may purchase and write (sell) both exchange listed and over-the-counter options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Funds write an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
     In 2007, the Partnership adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
     The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
     Subsequent Events. In 2009, the Partnership adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. See Note 9. Subsequent Events on page F-28 under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Partnership’s financial statements disclosures.
     In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Introduction
     The Partnership/Funds are speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments held by them are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.
     The risk to the limited partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of Partnership assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
     Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Partnership’s/Funds’ open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash balances. The Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s/Funds’ open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
     The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
     Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership/Funds could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s/Funds’ speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership/Funds of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s/Funds’ experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s/Funds’ losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s/Funds’ attempts to manage their market risk.
     Materiality as used in this section, “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership’s/Funds’ market sensitive instruments.
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, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). 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 (such as the terms of particular contracts and the number of market risk sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period).
     The Partnership’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Advisors is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s/Funds’ mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions including investments in other Partnerships, is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings (realized and unrealized) and cash balances. Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%—99% of any one-day interval. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to Value at Risk.

19


 

     In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not exchange traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Partnership/Funds), the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as Value at Risk. In those rare cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have been used.
     The fair value of the Partnership’s/Funds’ futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the Advisors may trade commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the following tables as the margin requirement attributable to the instrument underlying each option. Where this instrument is a futures contract, the futures margin, and where this instrument is a physical commodity, the futures-equivalent maintenance margin has been used. This calculation is conservative in that it assumes that the fair value of an option will decline by the same amount as the fair value of the underlying instrument, whereas, in fact, the fair values of the options traded by the Partnership/Funds in almost all cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments.
     In quantifying the Partnership’s/Funds’ Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been added to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Partnership’s/Funds’ positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.
     The Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
     Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments. With the exception of JWH, the Partnership’s advisors currently trade the Partnership’s assets indirectly in master fund managed accounts over which they have been granted limited authority to make trading decisions. JWH directly trades a managed account in the Partnership’s name. The first two trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly and through its investment in the Funds. The remaining trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly (i.e., in the managed account in the Partnership’s name traded by JWH) and indirectly by each Fund separately.
     The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $789,539,282.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
     The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership/Funds is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Partnership/Funds. The magnitude of the Partnership’s/Funds’ open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions — unusual, but historically recurring from time to time — could cause the Partnership/Funds to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table — as well as the past performance of the Partnership/Funds — give no indication of this “risk of ruin.”
Non-Trading Risk
     The Partnership/Funds have non-trading market risk on their foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial.
     Materiality as used in this section, “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership’s/Funds’ market sensitive instruments.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
     The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Partnership/Funds manage their 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/Fund’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner and the 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/Fund’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 management strategies of the Partnership/Funds. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s/Fund’s current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long- term. 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 as of December 31, 2009 by market sector.
     Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures and forward positions held by the Partnership/Funds and indirectly 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/Funds’ profitability. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-8 countries. However, the Partnership/Funds also take futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations — e.g., Australia.
     Currencies. The Partnership’s/Funds’ currency exposure is subject to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The General Partner/Managing Member does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s/Funds’ currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading Value at Risk 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. dollar-based Partnership/Funds in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
     Stock Indices. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership/Funds are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2009 the Partnership’s/Funds’ primary exposures were in the Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) stock indices. The General Partner/Managing Member anticipates little, if any, trading in non-G-8 stock indices. The Partnership/Funds are primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for the Partnership/Funds to avoid being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.)

27


 

     Metals. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of gold and silver. Although the Advisors will from time to time trade base metals such as copper, the principal market exposures of the Partnership/Funds have consistently been in the precious metals, gold and silver.
     Softs. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Coffee, cotton and sugar accounted for the bulk of the Partnership’s/Funds’ commodity exposure.
     Energy. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary energy market exposure is to natural gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East. Oil prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.
     Grains. The Partnership’s/Funds’ commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
     The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership/Funds as of December 31, 2009.
     Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, Euro and British pounds. The Advisors regularly convert foreign currency balances to dollars in an attempt to control the Partnership’s/Funds’ non-trading risk.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
     The General Partner/managing member monitors and controls the Partnership’s/Funds’ 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/Funds are subject.
     The General Partner/managing member monitors the Partnership’s/Funds’ performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisors concerning the Partnership’s/Funds’ overall risk profile. If the General Partner/managing member felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner/managing member could require the Advisors to close out individual positions as well as enter certain positions traded on behalf of the Partnership/Funds. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The General Partner/managing member primarily relies on the Advisors’ own risk control policies while maintaining a general supervisory overview of the Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk exposures.
     The Advisors apply their own risk management policies to their trading. The Advisors often follow diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisors’ research of risk management often suggests ongoing modifications to their trading programs.
     As part of the General Partner’s/managing member’s risk management, the General Partner periodically meets with the Advisors to discuss their risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisors’ portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisors are required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to their programs.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
 
The management of Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (the Partnership), Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly, Citigroup Managed Futures LLC) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for our assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Partnership; and
 
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
The management of Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, management concluded that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria referred to above.
 
The Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, as stated in their report dated March 19, 2010 which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. We also have audited the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, respectively, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the partnership’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the partnership’s general partner, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the partnership; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and general partner of the partnership; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F-5


 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

1.   Partnership Organization:
 
Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York on December 3, 2002 to engage, directly or indirectly, in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, lumber, metals and softs. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
 
Between March 27, 2003 (commencement of the offering period) and April 30, 2003, 36,616 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until April 30, 2003, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for trading. The Partnership was authorized to sell 300,000 Redeemable Units during its initial offering period. As of December 4, 2003, the Partnership was authorized to sell an additional 700,000 Redeemable Units. As of October 7, 2004, the Partnership was authorized to sell an additional 1,000,000 Redeemable Units. As of June 30, 2005, the Partnership was authorized to publicly offer the 2,000,000 Redeemable Units previously registered. The public offering of Redeemable Units terminated on November 30, 2008. The Partnership currently privately and continuously offers up to 200,000 Redeemable Units to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Partnership, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
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 their 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, 2022; the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of the close of any business day; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.

Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Partnership is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Partnership’s and the Funds’ Investments.  All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
     Partnership’s and the Funds’ Fair Value Measurements.  The Partnership and the Funds (as defined in note 5 “Investment in Partnerships”) adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Partnership and the Funds did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
In 2009, the Partnership and the Funds adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnership’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Partnership’s Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
The Partnership and the Funds consider prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in partnerships (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investments in partnerships reflects its proportional interest in the partnerships. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership and the Funds did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Partnership and the Funds trade futures contracts. Exchange cleared swaps included in futures and exchange cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the Funds. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Funds’ net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the

F-17


 

 
Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
  forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Funds are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  g.   Options.  The Funds may purchase and write (sell) both exchange listed and over-the-counter options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Funds write an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  h.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Partnership adopted adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  i.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Partnership adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of

F-18


 

 
Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
  accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.
 
  j.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Partnership’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  k.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
  l.   Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.   Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 7 for Financial Highlights.
 
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. The General Partner has agreed to make capital contributions, if necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater of (1) an amount that will entitle the General Partner to an interest of at least 1% in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and (2) the greater of (i) 1% of the partners’ contributions to the Partnership or (ii) $25,000.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:

receive a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% per year), of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisor. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating management fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of the current month’s incentive fee accruals, the monthly management fees and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. The Management Agreement may be terminated by either party.
 
In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements, earned by each Advisor for the Partnership during each calendar quarter.
 
In allocating the assets of the Partnership among the trading advisors, the General Partner considers past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets among the trading advisors and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) which provides that the Partnership will pay CGM a monthly brokerage commission equal to 0.46% (5.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets, in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating commissions, are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of the current month’s brokerage commissions, incentive fee accruals, the monthly management fees and other expenses and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. CGM will pay a portion of its brokerage commissions to financial advisors who have sold Redeemable Units in the Partnership. Brokerage commissions will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such commissions are paid may be changed. The Partnership will pay for NFA fees, as well as exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) directly and through its investment in the Funds. All of the Partnership’s assets, not held in the Funds’ accounts at CGM, are deposited in the Partnership’s account at CGM. The Partnership’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures, Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008 the amounts of cash held for margin requirements were $2,260,585 and $1,826,064, respectively. CGM has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s (or the Partnership’s allocable portion of a Fund’s) account during each month. The interest is earned at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average noncompetitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. Alternatively, CGM may place up to all of the Partnership’s (or a Fund’s) assets in 90-day U.S. Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the interest (or the Partnership’s allocable share thereof) earned on Treasury bills purchased. Twenty percent of the interest earned on Treasury bills purchased may be retained by CGM and/or credited to the interest earned on Treasury bills purchased may be retained by CGM and/or credited to the General partner. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.

6.   Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the General Partner and at such times as the General Partner may decide. A Limited Partner may require the Partnership to redeem their Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit as of the last day of any month on ten days notice to the General Partner. There is no fee charged to Limited Partners in connection with redemptions.

8.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership and the Funds are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership/Funds 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. The Partnership/Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Partnership’s/Funds’ risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership’s/Funds’ risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership/Funds to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership/Funds have credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Partnership’s/Funds’ counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Funds pay or receive a premium at the outset and then bear the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Funds to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Funds do not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in ASC 460, Guarantees (formerly, FAS No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees”).
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnership’s/Funds’ 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/Funds may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s/Funds’ business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
 
9.   Subsequent Events:
 
On January 31, 2010, the Partnership fully redeemed its investment in AAA Master for cash equal to $40,267,084.

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of AAA Master Fund LLC (the “Company”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in members’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AAA Master Fund LLC as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in members’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AAA Master Fund LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of AAA, AAA II, Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio, Energy Advisors, Global Futures, Legion LTD, Orion and Orion Cayman (each a “Member”, collectively the “Funds”) owned approximately 23.3%, 40.3%, 6.6%, 2.1%, 0.8%, 2.3%, 1.1%, 23.2% and 0.3% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively. AAA, AAA II, Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio, Energy Advisors, Global Futures, Legion LTD and Orion had approximately 23.2% 40.6%, 10.2%, 2.0%, 1.2%, 2.0%, 1.0% and 19.8% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Master will be liquidated under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
       Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”)  as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to

F-40


 

 
AAA Master Fund LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
  unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
       In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
       The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not readily available and which are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. Exchange cleared swaps included in futures and exchange cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits through the futures broker directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Options.  The Master may purchase and write (sell), both exchange listed and over-the-counter, options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Master writes an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Master purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  g.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each member is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
       In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the

F-42


 

 
AAA Master Fund LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
  Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Managing Member concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
       The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2006.
 
  h.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  i.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
       In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  j.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
 
  k.   Net Income (Loss) per Unit.  Net income (loss) per Unit of Member Interest is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Liability Company Agreement:
 
       The Managing Member administers the business affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
       The Managing Member, on behalf of the Master has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is affiliated with the Managing Member and CGM but is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in

  connection with the Management Agreement shall be borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
       The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All floor brokerage, exchange, clearing, user, give-up and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master consistent with contractual agreements. All other fees (management fees, administrative fees, incentive fees, brokerage commissions and offering costs) shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts, to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $112,350,862 and $90,640,874, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated by either party. All commissions in connection with the Customer Agreement shall be borne by the Funds.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master, respectively, the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and exchange cleared swap contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and exchange cleared swap contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures and exchange cleared swap contracts and options contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was 312,729.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Members’ Capital.

A non-managing member may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Unit of Member Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the Managing Member at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the non-managing member elects to redeem and informs the Master.

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the non-managing member class using the non-managing member’s share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically

F-46


 

 
AAA Master Fund LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization. As of December 31, 2009, there are no OTC swap contracts the Master is a party to.
 
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Master 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 Master to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Master does not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in ASC 460, Guarantees (formerly FAS Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees”).
 
The Managing Member monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the Managing Member 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, options and swaps positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized 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, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, metals, and softs. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association(“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On March 1, 2005 (commencement of trading operations), Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P.) (“Diversified 2000”), Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Global Diversified”) and Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Tactical Diversified”) each allocated a portion of its capital to the Master. Diversified 2000 purchased 43,434.9465 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $40,490,895, and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $2,944,052. Global Diversified purchased 16,015.3206 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $14,955,106 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,060,214. Tactical Diversified purchased 131,340.8450 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $122,786,448 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $8,554,397. On July 1, 2005 Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P. (formerly, CMF Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P.) (“Institutional Portfolio”) purchased 6,469.5213 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $7,000,000. On June 1, 2006, Legion Aspect (“Legion”) purchased 2,450.2307 Redeemable Units with cash equal to 3,000,000. On March 1, 2007, Global Futures Fund Ltd. (formerly, Citigroup Global Futures Fund Ltd.) (“Global Futures”) purchased 2,015.3949 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $2,500,000. On December 31, 2007, Legion redeemed its entire investment in the Master. This amounted to 2,990.3524 Redeemable Units with a fair value of $4,179,464, which includes interest income of $10,155. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Aspect Capital Limited (the “Advisor”) using the Diversified Program, the Advisor’s proprietary, systematic trading program, to invest together in one vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Institutional Portfolio, Diversified 2000, Global Diversified, Tactical Diversified and Global Futures (each a “Feeder,” collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 8.7%, 12.0%, 5.5%, 60.3%, and 13.5% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively. Institutional Portfolio, Diversified 2000, Global Diversified, Tactical Diversified and Global Futures had approximately 6.8%, 12.6%, 5.5%, 67.8%, and 7.3% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.

CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2024; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a

F-60


 

 
CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
  deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery can not occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instruments, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Master agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Master’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
       The Master does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  g.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  h.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740-10, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740-10 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740-10 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-

likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  i.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  j.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments the financial statements.
 
  k.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
 
  l.   Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.   Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the

F-62


 

 
CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements

Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees, including CGM’s direct brokerage commission, shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $22,969,045 and $18,981,887, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures and metal forward contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was 9,972. The average notional values of currency forward contracts for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was $179,140,879.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital. The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures and forward contracts as separate assets and liabilities.

5.   Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Redeemable Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and informs the Master.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF Capital Fund Management Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Capital Fund Management Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Capital Fund Management Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Capital Fund Management Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership that was organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York on July 25, 2005, to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, indices, grains, metals, softs, livestock and U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On August 1, 2005, (date Master commenced trading), Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P., formerly CMF Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P. (“Institutional Portfolio”), and Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P., formerly Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (“Tactical Diversified”) each allocated a portion of their capital to the Master. Institutional Portfolio invested $4,860,099 of its initial capital and purchased 4,860.0990 Redeemable Units, and Tactical Diversified purchased 159,434.0631 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $157,804,020 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,630,043. On March 1, 2007, Global Futures Fund Ltd., formerly Citigroup Global Futures Fund Ltd. (“Global Futures”), invested $2,300,000 of its initial capital and purchased 1,679.5630 Redeemable Units. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now and in the future by Capital Fund Management (the “Advisor”) using the Discus Program, the Advisor’s proprietary systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio and Global Futures (each a “Feeder,” collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 76.3%, 11.0% and 12.7% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively. Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio and Global Futures had approximately 84.0%, 7.2% and 8.8% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2026; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008, which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are is required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market

quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not readily available and which are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2)) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  f.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or

expense in the current year. The General Partner has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  g.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  h.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  i.    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
  j.    Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.  Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master, including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions

F-80

for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $12,145,114 and $8,378,393, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forwards contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statement of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009, based on a quarterly calculation, was 7,112.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses or Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital. The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures contracts as separate assets and liabilities.

Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Redeemable Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and informs the Master.

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically

F-83


 

 
CMF Capital Fund Management Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to analyze statistically actual trading results with risk- adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF Drury Capital Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Drury Capital Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Drury Capital Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CMF Drury Capital Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Drury Capital Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized 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 sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, indices, softs, livestock and metals. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On August 1, 2005 (commencement of trading operations), Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Tactical Diversified”) and Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P. (formerly CMF Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P.) (“Institutional Portfolio”) allocated a portion of their capital to the Master. Tactical Diversified purchased 120,720.7387 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $117,943,206 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value equal to $2,777,533. Institutional Portfolio purchased 4,860.0990 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $4,860,099. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Drury Capital, Inc., an Illinois Corporation (the “Advisor”) using the Diversified Trend-Following Program, the Advisor’s proprietary, systematic trading system, to invest together in one vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Tactical Diversified and Institutional Portfolio (each a “Feeder”, collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 89.2% and 10.8% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively. Tactical Diversified and Institutional Portfolio had approximately 92.4% and 7.6% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2026; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are

not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.   Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Master agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Master’s net equity

  therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur respectively, and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Master does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  g.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  h.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  i.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  j.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases,

F-98

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
  sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  k.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
  l.   Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.  Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively, the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission are borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts of cash held by the Master for margin requirements were $16,346,533 and $21,240,197, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.

4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master, the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210 Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures and metal forward contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was 11,635. The average notional values of currency forward contracts for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was $79,022,721.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital. The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures and forward contracts as separate assets and liabilities.

5.   Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Redeemable Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and informs the Master.

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the

F-102


 

 
CMF Drury Capital Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF Willowbridge Argo Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Willowbridge Argo Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Willowbridge Argo Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Willowbridge Argo Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized 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, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals and softs. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On July 1, 2005, (commencement of trading operations), Diversified Multi-Advisor Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Diversified”), Diversified Multi-Advisor Futures Fund L.P. II (formerly, Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II) (“Diversified II”), Orion Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Orion Futures Fund L.P.) (“Orion”), Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P. (formerly, CMF Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P.) (“Institutional Portfolio”) and Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly, Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Tactical Diversified”) allocated a portion of their capital to the Master. Diversified purchased 12,259.3490 Redeemable Units with cash of $11,118,119 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,141,230, Diversified II purchased 10,980.9796 Redeemable Units with cash of $9,895,326 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions of $1,085,654, Orion purchased 33,529.1186 Redeemable Units with cash of $29,866,194 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $3,662,925, Institutional Portfolio invested $7,000,000 of its initial capital and purchased 7,000.0000 Redeemable Units with cash of 16,242,748 and Tactical Diversified purchased 95,795.8082 Redeemable Units with cash of $85,442,868 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $10,352,940. On April 1, 2009, Orion Futures Fund (Cayman) (formerly, Citigroup Orion Futures Fund (Cayman) Ltd.) (“Orion Cayman”) purchased 299.0681 Redeemable Units with cash of $560,000. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now and in the future by Willowbridge Associates Inc. (the “Advisor”) using the Argo Trading System, the Advisor’s proprietary systematic trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Diversified, Diversified II, Orion, Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio and Orion Cayman (each a “Feeder”, collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 2.7%, 2.3%, 58.8%, 30.8%, 4.4% 1.0% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively and with approximately 3.6%, 3.4%, 46.1%, 42.5% and 4.4% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2025; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification

F-114


 

 
CMF Willowbridge Argo Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
(“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.  Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.  Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.  Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to

F-115


 

 
CMF Willowbridge Argo Master Fund L.P.

use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not readily available and which are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.  Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery can not occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

  e.  Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  f.  Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  g.  Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  h.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  i.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
 
  j.  Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.  Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.

3.   Agreements:
 
  a.  Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of cash held by the Master for margin requirements were $27,540,310 and $17,345,935, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was 10,295.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital.

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. 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 Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to analyze statistically actual trading results with risk- adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF Winton Master L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Winton Master L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Winton Master L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Winton Master L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized 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, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, lumber, metals and softs. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On November 1, 2004 (commencement of trading operations), CMF Winton Feeder I L.P. (“Winton Feeder”) allocated substantially all of its capital, and Diversified Multi-Advisor Futures Fund L.P.

using the Diversified Program, the Advisor’s proprietary systematic trading program, to invest together in one vehicle.
 
The Master’s investors consist of Diversified, Orion, Winton Feeder, Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio, Abingdon, Global Futures and Orion Cayman (each a “Feeder,” collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 1.7%, 51.1%, 0.8%, 17.2%, 3.2%, 21.4%, 4.0%, and 0.6% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively. Diversified, Orion, Winton Feeder, Tactical Diversified, Institutional Portfolio, Abingdon, and Global Futures had approximately 2.6%, 37.9%, 4.1%, 27.4%, 2.7%, 21.7%, and 3.6% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2024: or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in

F-133


 

 
CMF Winton Master L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements

an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not readily available and which are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.   The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery can not occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Options.  The Master may purchase and write (sell) both exchange listed and over-the-counter options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Master writes an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Master purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

  g.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  h.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  i.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  j.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which , among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  k.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
 
  l.   Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.  Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.

3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $38,915,256 and $26,405,684, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures, metal forward and options contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was 15,248.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital. The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures, forward and options contracts as separate assets and liabilities.

5.   Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Redeemable Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and informs the Master.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Master 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 Master to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Master does not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in

ASC 460, Guarantees (formerly, FAS No. 45,“Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees”).
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized 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, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, indices, livestock, metals, softs, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On April 1, 2006 (commencement of trading operations), Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P. (formerly Citigroup Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P.) (“Diversified 2000”), Smith Barney Global Markets Futures Fund (“Global Markets”), Diversified Multi-Advisor Futures Fund L.P. (formerly Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Diversified I”) and Diversified Multi-Advisor Futures Fund L.P. II (formerly Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II) (“Diversified II”) each allocated a portion of its capital to the Master. Diversified 2000 purchased 41,952.2380 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $41,952,238. Global Markets purchased 2,355.5550 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $2,355,555. Diversified I purchased 14,741.1555 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $14,741,156. Diversified II purchased 11,192.9908 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $11,192,991. On May 1, 2006, Alera Portfolios SPC. (“Alera SPC”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased 4,592.0784 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $4,801,938. On June 1, 2006, Fairfield Futures Fund L.P. II (formerly Citigroup Fairfield Futures Fund L.P. II) (“Fairfield II”) allocated substantially all of its capital and Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (formerly Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Tactical Diversified”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master. Fairfield II purchased 74,569.3761 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $75,688,021. Tactical Diversified purchased 101,486.0491 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $103,008,482. As of March 31, 2007, Alera SPC fully redeemed its investment of 1,805.5482 Redeemable Units with a fair value of $1,661,443, which includes interest income of $7,289. As of December 31, 2007, Global Markets fully redeemed its investment of 1,566.2278 Redeemable Units with a fair value of $1,799,772, which includes interest income of $4,415. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Advisor”), using the K4D — 12.5 program, the Advisor’s proprietary, systematic trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Diversified 2000, Diversified I, Diversified II, Fairfield II and Tactical Diversified (each a “Feeder”, collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 13.2%, 5.4%, 4.6%, 25.7% and 51.1% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively. Diversified 2000, Diversified I, Diversified II, Fairfield II and Tactical Diversified had approximately 12.6%, 5.0%, 4.7%, 27.1% and 50.6% investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2025; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.  Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the

F-154


 

 
CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements

  daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Master agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Master’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Master does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.  London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  g.  Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  h.  Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  i.  Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  j.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  k.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
  l.  Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.  Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.  Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.  Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.

  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $15,503,558 and $9,073,580, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures and metal forward contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was 6,966. The average notional values of currency forward contracts for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on a quarterly calculation, was $944,178,446.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital. The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures and forward contracts as separate assets and liabilities.

5.   Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Redeemable Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and informs the Master.

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options, and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
CMF SandRidge Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF SandRidge Master Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income and expenses, and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated March 26, 2009 and March 24, 2008, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF SandRidge Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CMF SandRidge Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF SandRidge Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership that was organized 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, swaps and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master may trade commodity futures and option contracts of any kind but intends initially to trade solely energy and energy related products. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup Managed Futures LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Master. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Master, owns 49% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
 
On December 1, 2005 (commencement of trading operations), Bristol Energy Fund L.P., (formerly Smith Barney Bristol Energy Fund L.P.) (“Bristol”) allocated substantially all of its capital to the Master. Bristol purchased 14,461.8400 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $14,477,858 and a contribution of open commodity futures and options positions with a fair value of $(16,018). On May 1, 2006, two separate private investors (“Private Investor I” and “Private Investor II”) each allocated substantially all of their capital to the Master. Private Investor I purchased 23,073.5521 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $28,000,000 and Private Investor II purchased 4,944.3326 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $6,000,000. On October 1, 2006, CMF SandRidge Feeder (Cayman) Ltd. (“SandRidge Feeder”) and Energy Advisors Portfolio L.P., (formerly Citigroup Energy Advisors Portfolio L.P.) (“Energy Advisors”) each allocated substantially all of their capital to the Master. SandRidge Feeder purchased 22,075.2638 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $25,000,000. Energy Advisors purchased 2,092.7350 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $2,370,000. On April 1, 2007, Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P., (formerly Citigroup Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P.) (“Diversified 2000”) purchased 7,659.0734 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $9,635,703. On March 1, 2009, Tactical Diversified Futures Fund L.P., (formerly Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) (“Tactical Diversified), purchased 14,408.1177 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $27,000,000. On June 1, 2009, Diversified Multi-Advisor Futures Fund L.P., (“Diversified”), (formerly Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P.) and Diversified Multi-Advisors Futures Fund L.P. II, (“Diversified II”), (formerly Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II) each allocated a portion of their capital to the Master. Diversified purchased 1,370.9885 Redeemable Units with cash equal to $2,818,836. Diversified II purchased 2,086.0213 Redeemable Units with cash equal to 4,288,986. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now and in the future by SandRidge Capital, L.P. (the “Advisor”) using the Energy Program, the Advisor’s proprietary systematic trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors are Bristol, Private Investor I, Private Investor II, SandRidge Feeder, Energy Advisors, Diversified 2000, Tactical Diversified, Diversified and Diversified II (each a “Feeder,” collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 70.1%, 4.2%, 0.7%, 9.0%, 1.3%, 2.0%, 11.7%, 0.4% and 0.6% investments in the Master at December 31, 2009, respectively.

The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2025; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for use in financial statements except for Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Master’s Statements of Financial Condition through the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
 
  c.   Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests of the Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008, which defines fair value as 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. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

In 2009, the Master adopted amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (formerly, FAS No. 157-4. “Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”) which reaffirms that 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 under current market conditions. These amendments to ASC 820 also reaffirm the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. These amendments to ASC 820 are required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Master’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Master’s Financial Statements.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations are not available and which are priced by broker-dealer who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. Exchange cleared swaps included in futures and exchange cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Options.  The Master may purchase and write (sell), both exchange listed and over-the-counter, options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Master writes an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Master purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  g.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Master’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Master level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  h.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
  i.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to

  present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Master’s financial statements disclosures.
 
       In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which among other things amended ASC 855 to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance of this update. Management has included the provisions of these amendments in the financial statements.
 
  j.    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
  k.   Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.  Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See footnote 6 for Financial Highlights.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master’s account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts of cash held by the Master for margin requirements were $22,651,198 and $29,705,022, respectively. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Master 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 Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and exchange cleared swap contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210, Balance Sheet (formerly, FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain contracts”) have been met.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures, exchange cleared swap and option contracts traded for the year ended December 31, 2009, based on a quarterly calculation was 68,224.
 
The Master adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition, Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital.
 
The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures, exchange cleared swap and option contracts as separate assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009.

5.   Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become Limited Partners on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Masters in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end day of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Redeemable Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and informs the Master.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, 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, through physical delivery 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 forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar

F-177


 

 
CMF SandRidge Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
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. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The Advisor will concentrate the Master’s trading in energy related markets. Concentration in a limited number of commodity interests may subject the Master’s account to greater volatility than if a more diversified portfolio of contracts.
 
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Master 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 Master to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Master does not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in ASC 460 Guarantees (formerly, FAS No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees”).
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Master’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 Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally 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, exchange cleared swaps and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
     KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was previously the principal accountant for the Partnership through June 26, 2008. On June 27, 2008, KPMG was dismissed as principal accountant and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm. From June 27, 2008 through July 22, 2009, PwC was the principal accountant for the Partnership. On July 22, 2009, PwC was dismissed as principal accountant and on July 23, 2009 Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change accountants was approved by the General Partner of the Partnership.
     In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and through July 22, 2009, and the audit of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and through June 26, 2008, there were no disagreements with PwC or KPMG, respectively, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for the corresponding year.
     The respective audit report of PwC and KPMG on the financial statements of the Partnership as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
     The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
     Management is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.
     The General Partner’s CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009 and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that at that date the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
     The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include policies and procedures that:
    pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
    provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and
 
    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     The report included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” includes management’s report on internal control over financial reporting (“Management’s Report”) and an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Report was not required to be audited by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report. Management elected to have its internal control over financial reporting audited.
     There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
     None.
