PART I
Item 1. Business.
     (a) General development of business. Westport JWH Futures Fund L.P., formerly Smith Barney Westport Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized on March 21, 1997 under the partnership laws of the State of New York 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, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, indices, livestock, metals and softs. The Partnership commenced trading operations on August 1, 1997. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership and JWH Master as defined below are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
     A Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering became effective on May 30, 1997 (commencement of the offering period). Beginning May 30, 1997, 120,000 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) were publicly offered at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit for a period of ninety days, subject to increase for up to an additional sixty days at the sole discretion of the General Partner. Between May 30, 1997 and July 31, 1997, 40,035 Redeemable Units were sold at $1,000 per unit. Proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account and were transferred, along with the General Partner’s contribution of $404,000 to the Partnership’s trading account on August 1, 1997 when the Partnership commenced trading. The public offering of Redeemable Units terminated on February 1, 1998. The Partnership privately continues to offer up to 200,000 Redeemable Units to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of units that may be sold by the Partnership. Sales 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-13 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 for the Partnership are made by the Advisor (as defined below).
     The Partnership’s trading of futures, forward and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America and foreign commodity exchanges. It engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.
     The General Partner has agreed to make capital contributions, if necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the partners’ contributions or (ii) $25,000. As of December 31, 2008, the General Partner’s interest was less than 1% of the partners’ contributions. At December 31, 2009, the General Partner increased its interest to greater than 1% of the partners’ contributions. The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first of the following to occur: December 31, 2017; the net asset value per Redeemable Unit falls below $400 as of the close of any business day; or under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
     On January 2, 2008, 80% of the assets allocated to John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (“JWH” or the “Advisor”) for trading were invested in JWH Master Fund LLC (the “JWH Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 28,209.3894 Units of JWH Master with cash of $39,540,753. JWH Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed by JWH Master using the Global Analytics Program, a proprietary systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. A description of the trading activities and focus of the Advisor is included on Page 7, under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The General Partner is also the managing member of the JWH Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by the Advisor, including the Partnership, are permitted to be managing member of JWH Master. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process.
     The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading program discussed above during the year ended December 31, 2009.
     JWH Master’s trading of futures, forward, swap and option contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America commodity exchange and foreign commodity exchanges. The Partnership and JWH Master engage in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.

     A Limited Partner/non-managing member may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from Westport JWH 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/managing member at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner/non-managing member elects to redeem and informs JWH Master.
     Management and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and NFA fees (collectively, the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Partnership, and through its investment in JWH Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commissions are charged at the Partnership level.
For the period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the approximate average market sector distribution for the Partnership was as follows:
(PIE CHART)
     As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Partnership owned approximately 79.8% and 87.8%, respectively, of JWH Master. The Partnership intends to continue to invest a portion of its assets in JWH Master. It is JWH’s intention to invest the assets allocated by the Partnership in JWH Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of JWH Master. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in JWH Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
     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.
     The General Partner has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor which will make all commodity trading decisions for the Partnership. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM. The Advisor is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership.
     Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Partnership pays the Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisor and an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits. 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 accrual, the monthly management fee 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 the Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreement, earned by the Advisor for the Partnership.
     In allocating the assets of the Partnership to the Advisor, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets among the Advisors and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.
     The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM which provides that the Partnership will pay CGM a monthly brokerage commission equal to 11/24 of 1% (5.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets, as defined 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 commission, incentive fee accrual, the monthly management fee and other expenses and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. CGM also pays a portion of its brokerage fees to financial advisors who have sold Redeemable Units in the Partnership and who are registered as associated persons with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). Brokerage commissions will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. The Partnership directly, and through its investment in JWH Master pays for clearing fees. In addition, CGM pays the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s (or the Partnership’s allocable portion of JWH Master’s) account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. 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 all of the Partnership’s (or JWH Master’s) assets in 90-day U.S. Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the interest (or its 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. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
     (b) Financial information about industry segments. The Partnership’s business consists of only one segment, speculative trading of commodity interests. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s net income (loss) from operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is set forth under “Item 6. Selected Financial Data.” The Partnership’s capital as of December 31, 2009 was $53,461,385.
     (c) Narrative description of business.
See Paragraphs (a) and (b) above.
(i) through (xii) — Not applicable.

(xiii) — The Partnership has no employees.
     (d) Financial Information About Geographic Areas. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services or own any long lived assets, and therefore this item is not applicable.
     (e) Available Information. The Partnership does not have an Internet address. The Partnership will provide paper copies of its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports free of charge upon request.
     (f) Reports to Security Holders. Not applicable.
     (g) Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Foreign Persons. Not applicable.
     (h) Smaller Reporting Companies. Not applicable.
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 its investment.
     Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, an investor could lose all of its 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. Fees will be paid to the Advisor 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 Redeemable Units is limited, and no market exists for the Redeemable 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.   The Advisor, 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 Advisor’s trading strategies may not perform as they have performed in the past. The Advisor has 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.
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 Citigroup Global Markets (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 and through its investment in JWH Master, aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation through speculative trading in U.S. and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products and precious and base metals. The Partnership and JWH Master may employ futures, options on futures, and forward contracts in those markets.
     The General Partner manages all business of the Partnership and JWH Master. The General Partner has delegated its responsibility for the investment of the Partnership’s assets to JWH. 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 and JWH Master 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 Advisor for the Partnership and JWH Master, 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 Advisor;
 
    selection, appointment and termination of the Advisor;
 
    negotiation of the Management Agreement; and
 
    monitoring the activity of the Advisor.
     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 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 shall seek the best prices and services available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions.
     The Advisor specializes in managing institutional and individual capital in the global futures, interest rate and foreign exchange markets. Since 1981, JWH has developed and implemented proprietary trend-following trading techniques that focus on long-term trends.
     JWH trades its Diversified Plus Program directly on behalf of the Partnership and its Global Analytics Program indirectly on behalf of the Partnership, through the Partnership’s investment in the JWH Master. Its objective is capital appreciation with the reduction of the volatility and risk of loss that typically would be associated with an investment in any one JWH investment program.

     As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s assets were allocated among the JWH programs as follows:
         
    Percentage  
    Allocation in the  
    Partnership as of  
    December 31, 2009  
Broadly Diversified Programs
       
JWH Global Analytics®
    80 %
JWH Diversified Plus
    20 %
     The allocation of assets among the investment programs, as well as the selection of the programs used, is dynamic. While JWH’s individual investment programs are technical, also know as systematic, trend-following programs, the selection of programs as well as the allocation of assets among the programs are entirely discretionary.
     As a managed futures Partnership, the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s performance is dependent upon the successful trading of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Advisor to achieve the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s objectives. It is the business of the General Partner to monitor the Advisor’s performance to ensure compliance with the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s trading policies and to determine if the Advisor’s performance is meeting the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s objectives. The Partnership’s assets are allocated to two JWH investment programs: Global Analytics and Diversified Plus. The allocation was 80% and 20%, respectively. The assets allocated to the Global Analytics program are traded through JWH Master Fund LLC, to invest in one trading vehicle. The assets allocated to the Diversified Plus Program are traded directly. During the period March 1, 2000 through December 31, 2007, JWH traded its Strategic Allocation Program on behalf of the Partnership. From the Partnership’s inception through February 29, 2000, JWH employed four of its programs in trading for the Partnership. The General Partner believes that the new allocations will be more reflective of the current trading environment.

     (a) Liquidity.
     The Partnership does not engage in the sales of goods or services. Its assets are its (i) investment in JWH Master, (ii) equity in its trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, net unrealized appreciation on open forward 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/JWH Master invests its assets only in commodity interests that an Advisor 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.

8


 

  (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 ⅔% of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to that Advisor.
 
  (iii)   The Partnership/JWH Master 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/JWH Master does not employ the trading technique commonly known as “pyramiding,” 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/JWH Master does not utilize borrowings other than short-term borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
 
  (vi)   The Advisor may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership/JWH Master. “Spreads” and “straddles” describe commodity futures trading strategies involving the simultaneous buying and selling of futures contracts on the same commodity but involving different delivery dates or markets.
 
  (vii)   The Partnership/JWH Master 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 8.6%. 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 JWH Master.
     In the normal course of business, the Partnership and through its investment in JWH Master are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments include forwards, futures and 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 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.
      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 the Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
     Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master 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 Partnership’s and JWH Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership and JWH Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership and JWH Master have credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.

     The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH 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, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forward and option 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 the financial statements.)
     Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures and swaps 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 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 business 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.
     The Partnership continues to offer Redeemable Units at the Net Asset value Per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of each month. For the year ended December 31, 2009, there were additional sales of 2,699.3293 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $4,610,000 and General Partner’s contribution representing 118.9902 Unit equivalents totaling $200,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, there were additional sales of 6,833.5420 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $8,989,000. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were additional sales of 3,305.2546 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $3,225,000.
     No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given period. A Limited Partner may require the Partnership to redeem his Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of a 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, 10,086.7047 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest were redeemed totaling $16,615,340. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 11,129.5797 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest were redeemed totaling $16,239,385. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 49,893.3341 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest were redeemed totaling $47,461,049 and General Partner’s contribution representing 477.0956 Unit equivalents totaling $430,679.
     Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest were sold to persons and entities who are accredited investors as that term is defined in rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”), as well as to those persons who are not accredited investors but who have either a net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobile) either individually or jointly with the investor’s spouse of at least three times their investment in the Partnership (the minimum investment for which was $25,000) or gross income for the two previous years and projected gross income for the current fiscal year of not less than three times their investment in the Partnership for each year.

     (c) Results of Operations.
     For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreased 22.7% from $1,822.83 to $1,409.43. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 90.5% from $956.81 to $1,822.83. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreased 7.6% from $1,035.48 to $956.81.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees for the year ended December 31,2009 of $11,783,253. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by gains in indices, livestock, metals 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 seen a bottom in March, banks were seeking to return TARP bailout money and leading indicators were recovering.
     In currencies, the Partnership registered losses as the U.S. Dollar reversed the strong trend earlier in the year and started weakening against the other major currencies. Trading in Japanese Yen contributed to these losses following speculation that the Japanese government may interfere in the markets to reverse a strong Yen. In the energy sector, most of the products did not exhibit any strong trends and mostly remained range bound after the reversals earlier in the year. This pattern of sharp reversal followed by non-directional volatility attributed to the losses in this sector. Losses were also seen in the fixed income sector. With the economic backdrop of 2008, yields started to exhibit asymmetric volatility due to extreme uncertainty prevailing in the longer time horizon. Encouraged by the continuing fiscal and monetary efforts of the U.S. government to stabilize the economy, the markets finally began to recover. In agricultural commodities, losses were realized primarily in soybean complex, corn and wheat. Prices of corn and wheat both unexpectedly rallied in October as cold and wet weather threatened to delay harvest.
     The Partnership recorded gains in the metals sector primarily from gold. Investors across the world chose to buy gold through ETFs and bullion as a hedge against inflation, driven by the massive monetary influx of the central banks. In softs, modest gains were recorded as the strong gains in sugar offset the losses in coffee. In stock indices, strong trends emerged in the second quarter after the lows of March 2009. The Partnership was favorably positioned to capitalize on these trends and recover the losses from the sharp reversals.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the year ended December 31, 2008 of $48,958,347. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, metals and indices and were partially offset by losses in softs.
     In 2008, the liquidity crisis that began in 2007 rapidly spread to all corners of the globe, significantly reducing global economic growth and presenting the economies with some of the hardest challenges. 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 large financial institutions were under pressure. Faced with unprecedented and 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: currencies, energy, grains, interest rates, metals, agricultural softs and stock indices.
     The Partnership was well positioned to capitalize on the strong trends that emerged in the currencies and realized gains for the year. The U.S. Dollar was relatively strong compared with most of the other developed economy currencies. The Euro was put to its first major test since its inception. UK, Germany and France continued to show weak growth earlier in the year and as the situations worsened in the later part of the year, these countries officially entered recession. Japanese Yen remained an exception and showed extraordinary strength as the carry trade reversed.
     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.
     In grains and agricultural softs sector, the Partnership was profitable, as the trading strategy successfully navigated the trend reversal period and captured the bullish and bearish legs of the trend across several products. Corn prices continued to show a strong correlation to the energy prices and, while peaking at 800 cents around mid year, closed the year around 400 cents.
     The Partnership was profitable in the interest rates sector, as the yields on the shorter end of the yield curve dropped to almost atypical levels. Short term U.S. Treasury bills were in such high demand due to the flight-to-quality that the yields dropped below zero. While the 10 Yr T-bill yielded on average between 3.5%-4% 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.
     The Partnership registered gains in the metals sector primarily from the industrials. Precious metals did not demonstrate a very strong directional trend, but the industrial metals reflected the general economic malaise. Copper, which is usually considered essential for growth, dropped from 4 cents to 1.5 cents per pound.
     Global stock indices also contributed to the gains as the indices continued to test multi-year lows. As banks 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 Partnership’s average daily equity allocated to it by the Master was earned at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days. CGM may continue to maintain the Partnership’s assets in cash and/or place all of the Master’s assets in 90-day Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the interest 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 $21,354 and $557,847, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower average net assets and lower U.S. Treasury Bill rates during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. 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 JWH Masters’ accounts and upon interest rates over which neither the Partnership nor CGFM has control.
     Brokerage commissions are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be analyzed in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $380,036 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased by $13,459, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in brokerage commissions and fees is due to lower average net assets during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and the increase in brokerage commissions and fees is due to an increase in the number of trades during for the 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 months ended December 31, 2009, decreased by $139,615 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased by $8,666 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in management fees is due to lower average net assets during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and the increase is due to an increase in the number of trades during for the 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 the Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in the advisory agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and the Advisor. There were no incentive fees earned for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009. Trading performance for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 resulted in incentive fees of $1,950,387.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the year ended December 31, 2007 of $4,816,540. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, livestock, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by gains in energy, grains and U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates.
     In 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 driven 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.
     In the energy sector, crude oil continued the long-term upward trend while breaching psychological resistance level of $100, although there were brief corrections, midway through the year. The Partnership was positioned to benefit from this strong trend across the petroleum complex. The Partnership realized profits in the grains sector as wheat, corn and soybeans reached record level prices while consistently displaying a strong long-term trend. Ethanol based alternative fuel usage coupled the corn price to crude oil price as these two products demonstrated strong correlation through the year, although the individual demand-supply characteristics of these two distinct products continued to affect the respective prices in the interim. Trading in U.S. interest rates was profitable as the yields declined in the later part of the year. The sub prime issue demonstrated that redistribution of risk through securitization of mortgages might not entirely shield investors from pricing risk inherent to the valuation of these securities. By shifting away from riskier assets and by buying U.S. Treasury notes as collateral for the riskier assets, the markets effectively lowered the yields on the treasury notes while establishing a strong trend.
     Trading in currencies was extremely challenging as the major currencies demonstrated high non-directional volatility. Several factors including the unwinding of the Japanese Yen carry trade and the changing views on global growth and inflation contributed to interruptions in several established long-term trends. Non-U.S. interest rates also presented challenges as the central banks around the world juxtaposed the impact of a slowing U.S. economy against domestic inflationary pressures. Trading in metals also contributed to losses. While precious metals like gold reached record prices, industrial metals like copper, zinc and aluminum experienced several price corrections, synchronous with the conflicting views on global growth and inflation. In the agricultural softs sector, coffee, cotton and sugar demonstrated strong long-term trends constantly punctuated by short-term price reversals. Equity indices also contributed to losses as global equity markets experienced major corrections with high volatility levels previously seen during the technology bubble earlier in the decade.
     In the General Partner’s opinion, the Advisor continues to employ its trading methods in a consistent and disciplined manner and its results are consistent with the objectives of the Partnership and expectations for the Advisor’s programs. The General Partner continues to monitor the Advisor’s performance on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis to ensure that 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 Funds and the Partnership depends on the Advisors’ ability to forecast changes in energy and energy related commodities. Such price changes 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 the Advisors correctly make such forecasts, the Funds and the Partnership expect to increase capital through operations.

     In allocating substantially all of the assets of the Partnership to the Master, the General Partner considered the Advisor’s past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets to the Advisor 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 and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master are 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 and JWH Master’s ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers, and in the markets where the Partnership and JWH Master participates.
     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 Redeemable Unit holder, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors.
     (e) 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 JWH Master’s Investments. All commodity interests held by the Partnership and JWH 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 gain or loss from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

     Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership and JWH 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. The Partnership and JWH Master 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 JWH Master consider prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on 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 JWH Master (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 JWH Master reflects its proportional interest in the partnerships. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments that were 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 JWH Master trade 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 Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and JWH Master 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 directly, through the futures broker, 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.
     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 Partnership and JWH Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master 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.
     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 has 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. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
     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.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Introduction
     The Partnership and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master’s 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 and JWH Master’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 and JWH Master’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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 and JWH Master’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.
     The Partnership and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of their future results.
     Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership and JWH Master could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master’s 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 and JWH Master’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s attempts to manage their market risk.
     Materiality as used in this section, “Quantitative and Qualitative 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 and JWH Master 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 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). 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 and JWH Master’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Advisor is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s earnings (realized or unrealized).
     Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership and JWH Master 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

15


 

intervals. 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.
     In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not exchange traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Partnership and JWH Master), 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 and JWH Master’s futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the Advisor may trade commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the following table 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 and JWH Master in almost all cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments.
     In quantifying the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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 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 sensitive instruments. The first two tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s open positions by market category as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. 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 JWH Master 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 $53,461,385.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
     The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership and JWH Master are 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. The magnitude of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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 and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master — give no indication of this “risk of ruin.”
Non-Trading Risk
     The Partnership and JWH Master has non-trading market risk on its 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 market sensitive instruments.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
     The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Partnership and JWH Master manages its primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner and the Advisor 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 and JWH Master’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 and JWH Master. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s and JWH Master’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 and JWH Master as of December 31, 2009, by market sector.
     Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership and JWH Master 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 profitability. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-8 countries. However, the Partnership and JWH Master also takes futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations.

18


 

     Currencies. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s currency exposure is 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 does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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 dollar-based Partnership in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
     Stock Indices. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership and JWH Master are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s primary exposures were in the EUREX, E-Mini NASDAQ and OSE NIKKEI stock indices. The General Partner anticipates little, if any, trading in non-G-8 stock indices. The Partnership and JWH Master is 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 and JWH Master to avoid being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.)
     Metals. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of gold and copper. The General Partner anticipates that gold will remain the primary metals market exposure for the Partnership and JWH Master.
     Softs. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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 and JWH Master’s commodity exposure as of December 31, 2009.
     Energy. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
     The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership and JWH Master as of December 31, 2009.
     Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, Euro dollar and Canadian dollar. The Advisor regularly converts foreign currency balances to U.S. dollars in an attempt to control the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s non-trading risk.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
     The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master is subject.
     The General Partner monitors the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisor concerning the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner could require the Advisor to close out individual positions as well as enter certain positions traded on behalf of the Partnership and JWH Master. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The General Partner primarily relies on the Advisor’s own risk control policies while maintaining a general supervisory overview of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s market risk exposures.
     The Advisor applies its own risk management policies to its trading. The Advisor often follows diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisor’s research of risk management often suggests ongoing modifications to its trading programs.
     As part of the General Partner’s risk management, the General Partner periodically meets with the Advisor to discuss its risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisor’s portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisor is required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to its programs.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
 
 
The management of Westport JWH Futures Fund L.P., formerly Smith Barney Westport 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 Westport JWH 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, 2009 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
Westport JWH Futures Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Westport JWH 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-4


 

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 Westport JWH 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.

Notes to Financial statements
December 31, 2009
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
Westport JWH Futures Fund L.P., formerly Smith Barney Westport Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership that was organized on March 21, 1997 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage, directly and 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, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, indices, softs, livestock and metals. The Partnership commenced trading on August 1, 1997. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership and JWH Master (as defined in Note 5 “Investment in Partnership”) are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership privately and continuously offers up to 200,000 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“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 its 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, 2017; the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of a 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.
 
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 JWH Master’s Investments.  All commodity interests held by the Partnership and JWH 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.
 
Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Fair Value Measurements.  The Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership 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 Partnerships Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of the amendments to ASC 820 had no effect on the Partnership’s Financial Statements.
 
The Partnership and JWH Master 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 JWH Master (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 JWH Master reflects its proportional interest in the partnership. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and

2008, the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master trade 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 Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and JWH Master 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.    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 Partnership and JWH Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference

F-16


 

 
Westport JWH Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements

  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.
 
  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 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 has 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.
 
  g.   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. 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 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.
 
  i.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 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 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 (i) 1% of the partners’ contributions or (ii) $25,000.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (“JWH”) (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 Partnership. The Partnership pays the Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisor and an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreement, earned by the Advisor for the Partnership. The Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until the Advisor recovers the net loss incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership. 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 accrual, the monthly management fee and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
In allocating the assets of the Partnership to the Advisor, 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 to the Advisor and may allocate the 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 11/24 of 1% (5.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets, as defined, 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 commission, incentive fee accrual, the monthly management fee and other expenses and any redemptions or distributions as of the end of such month. 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 JWH Master. CGM will pay a portion of its brokerage fees 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 fees are paid may be changed. All of the Partnership’s assets, not held in JWH Master’s account 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 $657,666 and $771,833, 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 JWH Master’s) account during each month 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 JWH Master’s) assets in 90-day U.S. Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the interest (or its allocable

F-18

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. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
4.   Trading Activities:
 
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity interests. The results of the Partnership’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forwards contracts. The Partnership 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 Partnership 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 223.
 
Brokerage commissions are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions.
 
The Partnership adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, FAS 161, “Disclosure 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 or Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital.

5.   Investment in Partnership:
 
The Advisor trades a portion of the assets allocated to the Advisor directly, in accordance with the systematic JWH Diversified Plus Program.
 
On January 2, 2008, 80% of the assets allocated to the Advisor for trading were invested in JWH Master Fund LLC (the “JWH Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 29,209.3894 Redeemable Units of JWH Master with cash equal to $39,540,753. JWH Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed by the Advisor using the Global Analytics Program, a proprietary, systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the managing member of JWH Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by the Advisor, including the Partnership, are permitted to be non-managing members of JWH Master. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process.
 
The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading programs discussed above during the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The JWH Master’s trading of futures, forwards, swaps and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on U.S. and foreign commodity exchanges. JWH Master engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.
 
A Limited Partner/non-managing member may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from JWH 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 General Partner/managing member at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the limited partner/non-managing member elects to redeem and informs JWH Master.
 
Management and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All clearing fees are borne by the Partnership and through its investment in JWH Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commissions are charged at the Partnership level.
 
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership owned approximately 79.8% and 87.8%, respectively of JWH Master. The Partnership intends to continue to invest a portion of its assets in JWH Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of JWH Master.

The financial statements of JWH Masters including the Condensed Schedule of Investments are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read together with the Partnership’s financial statements.
 
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 its Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of each month on ten days notice to the General Partner. No fee will be charged for redemptions.

8.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership and JWH Master 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.
 
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 the Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master’s 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 and JWH Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership and JWH Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership and JWH Master have credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership and JWH Master 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 and JWH Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
 
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnership’s and JWH 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 Partnership and JWH 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 Partnership’s and JWH Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2030; or under certain other 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 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”). ASC 820-10-65 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 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 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 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 740-10 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 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.
 
  g.   Subsequent Events.  In 2009, the Master adopted ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855-10 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.

3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Liability Company Agreement:
 
The Managing Member 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 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 not affiliated with the Managing Member 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 “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 $3,594,053 and $5,941,717, 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, respectively, 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 210-20, 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 1,854.
 
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

5.   Subscriptions Distributions and Redemptions:
 
Subscriptions are accepted monthly from investors and they become non-managing members on the first day of the month after their subscription is processed. 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.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Unit of Member 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 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, 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

F-40


 

 
JWH Master Fund LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
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 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 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 July 27, 2008, KPMG was dismissed as principal accountant and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm. From July 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 of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “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 Rules 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 SEC 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
