ALPHAMETRIX MANAGED FUTURES III LLC

(A Delaware Series Limited Liability Company)

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010 (UNAUDITED)


(1) Organization

AlphaMetrix Managed Futures III LLC (the “Platform”) is sponsored by AlphaMetrix, LLC (the “Sponsor” or “AlphaMetrix”). The Platform was formed on September 10, 2009 as a Delaware series limited liability company pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. AlphaMetrix Managed Futures III LLC (AlphaMetrix WC Diversified Series) (the “Series” or “WC Diversified Series”) is currently the only “segregated series” of the Platform. Since the Series is the Platform’s only segregated series, references to the Series also include the Platform unless otherwise noted. The Series invests a portion of its assets in AlphaMetrix WC Diversified Fund – MT0041 (the “Master Fund”) which is advised by Winton Capital Management Ltd. (the “Trading Advisor”). The Master Fund generally engages in the speculative trading of bonds, currencies, interest rates, equities, equity indices, debt securities and selected physical commodities and derivatives such as futures, options on futures and currency forward contracts. In addition, the Master Fund also invests in the AlphaMosaic SPC Offshore Platform Cash Account (“OPCA”). Refer to the Master Fund financial statements, attached to this report, for a further discussion of the OPCA. Newedge USA, LLC and J.P. Morgan Futures Inc. are the Master Fund’s futures clearing brokers (the “Clearing Brokers”) and Newedge Alternative Strategies Inc. is the foreign exchange clearing broker of the Master Fund, although the Master Fund may execute foreign exchange trades through other foreign exchange clearing brokers at any time. The Sponsor, over time, intends to offer investors a selection of different trading advisors, each managing a different segregated series of the Platform. There can be no assurance, however, that any series other than the Series will be offered or that the Series will continue to be offered. The Series was organized on September 11, 2009. The Series issued units and commenced trading on January 1, 2010. The Series filed a Form 10, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the units of limited liability company interest (“Units”), and such registration became effective March 1, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Series’ financial condition at June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, and results of its operations and changes in its members’ capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited). These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Series’ annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2010. The December 31, 2010 information has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010.

The Series issues two sub-series, (each a “Sub-Series”): B-0 and B-2. These sub-series are subject to different fees as described in the Confidential Disclosure Document dated April 20, 2011 (the “Disclosure Document”). The financial statements presented herein include the combined results of both Sub-Series. On January 1, 2010, the Series issued 10.00 Units of the B-2 sub-series to the Sponsor for $10,000. The Sponsor serves as the Series’ tax matters partner. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Disclosure Document.

The Sponsor was formed in May 2005, and its main office is located in Chicago, Illinois. The Sponsor is registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor, with the SEC as a Registered Investment Advisor (“RIA”) and registered transfer agent (“RTA”), and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”).

At the sole discretion of the Sponsor, the Series may terminate for any reason (for the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor shall be entitled, without any violation of any contractual or fiduciary obligation to any investor in the Series (a “Member”), to dissolve the Series at any time).

5


(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting records for the Platform and Series are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements. The Platform includes the accounts of the WC Diversified Series.

Investment

The Series invests in the Master Fund. The Series’ investment in the Master Fund is carried at fair value and represents the Series’ pro rata interest in the net assets of the Master Fund as of the close of business on the relevant valuation date. The Master Fund’s assets are carried at fair value. At each valuation date, the Master Fund’s income, expenses, net realized gain/(loss) and net increase/(decrease) in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are allocated to the Series based on the Series’ pro rata interest in the net assets of the Master Fund, and recorded in the Series’ Condensed Statements of Operations. The Master Fund provides the Series with daily estimated net asset valuations. The financial statements of the Master Fund are attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Series’ financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, financial statements are presented for the Platform as a whole and for the WC Diversified Series. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto include financial statements and footnote totals for the Platform as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular segregated series shall be enforceable only against the assets of such series and not against the assets of the Platform generally or any other segregated series. Accordingly, the assets of one segregated series of the Platform include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Platform on account of and for the benefit of that segregated series, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Platform for the purchase of Units in that segregated series. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, the WC Diversified Series exists as the only segregated series on the Platform.

The Series is a feeder fund to the Master Fund and other funds sponsored by the Sponsor invest in the Master Fund. At June 30, 2011, the Series’ investment in the Master Fund was $14,959,548, approximately 16.89% of the Master Fund’s net assets. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies, the Series and the Master Fund are not consolidated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash is maintained in the custody of commercial banks and includes cash received related to subscriptions received in advance. The Master Fund traded on a leverage basis of approximately: (a) two to one from January 1, 2010 through January 18, 2010; (b) two and a half to one from January 19, 2010 through June 30, 2011. In order to maintain the Series’ overall portfolio at a leverage of approximately one, the Series’ capital not needed at the Master Fund to maintain a leverage of one will be held in the cash account maintained by the Series as opposed to being invested into the Master Fund. The Sponsor will rebalance the amounts held as it deems necessary to keep the Series’ capital leverage factor at approximately one.

6


Prepaid assets

Prepaid assets represent insurance contracts that are maintained by the Series as well as the ongoing sales commissions (the “Sales Commission”, “Initial Sales Commission” or “Placement Fee”). Insurance premiums paid are capitalized and expensed over the term of the contract. Refer to below section “Sales Commission”.

Subscriptions received in advance

Subscriptions received in advance are subscriptions for shares effective subsequent to period end.

Redemptions payable

Redemptions payable are share redemptions effective June 30, 2011 but paid subsequent to period end.

Fair Value of Investments

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in an active market. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy, as follows:

 

 

 

Level 1 — Values for investments classified as Level 1 are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical investments in an active market. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily accessible at the measurement date, valuation of these investments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

 

 

Level 2 — Values for investments classified as Level 2 are based on quoted prices for similar investments in active or non-active markets for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may also include discounts related to restrictions on the investments.

 

 

 

Level 3 — Values for investments classified as Level 3 are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value and unobservable, including valuations by the Sponsor or custodian in the absence of readily ascertainable market values.

The Series invests a portion of its assets in the Master Fund. The classification of the Master Fund’s investments in accordance with ASC 820 is discussed in the notes to the financial statements of the Master Fund.

Derivative Instruments

FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) requires qualitative disclosure 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. The Series invests a portion of its assets in the Master Fund which engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts and currency forward contracts (collectively “derivatives”). The disclosures required by ASC 815 for the Master Fund are discussed in the notes to the attached financial statements of the Master Fund. The Series does not directly trade derivatives.

Interest Income/Expense

Interest income and expense is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income or expense may include (1) the allocation from the Master Fund of the Master Fund’s interest income/expense from its broker or interest income from the Master Fund’s investment in the OPCA, and allocated by the Master Fund to the Series or (2) interest income from the Series’ bank account.

7


Sales Commissions

Each Member or Member-related account may be subject to an ongoing sales commission (the “Sales Commission”).

B-2 Units are subject to an ongoing Sales Commission equal to 2% per annum of the month-end net asset value, including interest income, of the outstanding B-2 Units after deducting the Management Fee and accrued Performance Fee, if any, but before deducting the Sales Commission and Sponsor’s Fee for such month. Each month that B-2 Units are sold, a Sales Commission equal to 2% of the aggregate subscriptions for B-2 Units is paid by the Sub-Series to the Selling Agents (the “Initial Sales Commission” or “Placement Fee”). The amount of the Initial Sales Commission will then be amortized against the Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units equally each month over the first 12 months. Thereafter, a Sales Commission equal to 0.17% of the Net Asset Value (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 2%) of the B-2 Units sold on the relevant subscription date that remain outstanding is charged each month and is paid to the Selling Agents.

The Sales Commission may be greater or less than 2% of the current Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units. The Sales Commission charged against the Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units each month is equal to the total of the amortized Sales Commission for all B-2 Units that have been outstanding for twelve months or less, plus 0.17% (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 2%) per month of the Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units that have been outstanding for more than twelve months. For example, if 40% of the B-2 Units’ had been outstanding for more than twelve months, the total Sales Commission would equal the sum of all of the amortized portions for that month plus 0.17% (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 2%) times the Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units times 0.4. All B-2 Unit holders would then be charged their pro rata portion of such amount. In general, if the Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units is increasing, the amount paid will generally be less than 2% of their Net Asset Value, and if the Net Asset Value of the B-2 Units is decreasing, the amount paid will generally be greater than 2% of their Net Asset Value.

The B-0 Units are not subject to a Sales Commission.

The Selling Agents, in consultation with the Sponsor, may waive or reduce the Sales Commission for certain Members without entitling any other Member to any such waiver or reduction.

Income Taxes

The Platform follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. As of June 30, 2011, no liability was recognized in connection with ASC 740. The Platform is subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for all tax years since its inception date.

No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for U.S. federal or state income taxes. As the Series is a partnership for tax purposes, the Series’ Members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such Investor’s share of the Series’ income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.

Distributions

The Sponsor does not currently intend to make any distributions. Consequently, in order to pay the taxes attributable to their investment in the Series, Members must either redeem Units or pay such taxes from other sources.

8


Subscriptions

Units are purchased generally at the beginning of each calendar month based on the net asset value per Unit for all other purposes (see Note 3) calculated for the prior month-end.

Completed Subscription Agreements relative to the Series must be received by the appropriate Selling Agent no later than seven calendar days prior to the first day of any month in which a Member intends to invest. Members are initially issued Units at $1,000 per unit as of the date of the commencement of operations and at the current Net Asset Value (“NAV”) for all dates thereafter.

Existing Members may make an additional investment by completing, and submitting to the Selling Agents, a short-form Subscription Agreement, as provided by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor, in its sole discretion and for any reason, may decline to accept the subscription of any prospective Member.

Redemptions

Units may be redeemed as of the end of any calendar month (each, a “Redemption Date”) at the Net Asset Value per Unit at such Redemption Date. Redemption requests must be received by the 15th day of the calendar month of such Redemption Date or the following business day if the 15th is not a business day. The Sponsor may permit redemptions at other times and on shorter notice.

The Net Asset Value of redeemed Units is determined as of the Redemption Date for purposes of determining the redemption proceeds due to Members. Members will remain subject to fluctuations in such Net Asset Value during the period between submission of their redemption requests and the applicable Redemption Date. The Net Asset Value of Units on the designated Redemption Date may differ materially from the Net Asset Value of such Units as of the date on which an irrevocable redemption request must be submitted.

When Units are redeemed (or exchanged), any accrued fees (including performance fees) and expenses reduce the redemption proceeds paid to members.

Redemption Fee

If a Member redeems his or her investment in the B-2 Units before the end of the sixth calendar month following such Member’s initial investment in the B-2 Units (the “Initial Investment”), such Redemption will be subject to a Redemption Fee (the “Redemption Fee”) equal to 2% of such Member’s Initial Investment. If a Member Redeems his or her investment in the B-2 Units following the sixth month-end after the date of his or her Initial Investment but prior to the twelfth month-end after the date of such Member’s Initial Investment, such Redemption will be subject to a Redemption Fee equal to 1% of such Member’s Initial Investment in the B-2 Units. The Redemption Fee will be pro rated for partial redemptions prior to the twelfth month-end following such Member’s Initial Investment, i.e. if the Member withdraws 50% of his or her current investment in the B-2 Units, 50% of the Redemption Fee will be due upon Redemption. In no case will the sum of all Redemption Fees paid by a Member be greater than the Initial Sales Commission paid by such Member. Redemption fees amounted to $200 and $500 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Series enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which would provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Series that have not yet occurred. The Series expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

9


(3) Related Party Transactions

A substantial amount of the Master Fund’s assets are held within the OPCA, a related party. For a discussion on the OPCA, refer to Note 4 in the attached Master Fund’s financial statements.

The Sponsor will receive a flat-rate monthly sponsor fee (the “Sponsor’s Fee”) of 0.042 of 1% (a 0.50% annual rate) of the Series’ Net Asset Value after deducting the Management Fee and accrued Performance Fee, if any, from the Series’ month-end net asset value for all other purposes, including interest income, of a Member’s investment in the Series for such month. The Sponsor reserves the right to waive or reduce the fee in its sole discretion.

The Sponsor will receive a monthly service provider fee (the “Service Provider Fee”) equal to 0.025% of 1% (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 0.30%) of the Net Asset Value of the Series. Operating costs paid for by the Sponsor out of the Service Provider Fee generally include: certain ongoing offering expenses; administrative, transfer, exchange and redemption processing costs; legal, regulatory, reporting, filing, tax, audit, escrow and accounting; the fees of the Master Fund’s directors; and any other operating or administrative expenses related to accounting, research, due diligence or reporting. The Service Provider Fee is charged at the Series level.

Operating costs not covered by the Service Provider Fee and paid for by the Series (including those allocated to the Series by the Master Fund) generally include: execution and clearing brokerage commissions; forward and other over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading spreads; bank wire fees; insurance; and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification.

The Series incurred Sponsor’s fees of $35,940 and $59,046 and $4,948 and $5,578 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of which $13,162 and $5,578 is owed to the Sponsor at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Series will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the organizational and initial offering of the Units at the Series level. For financial reporting purposes in conformity with GAAP, the Series expensed the organizational costs of $119,362 (“net asset value for financial reporting” or the “net asset value per Unit for financial reporting”). For all other purposes, including determining the net asset value per Unit for subscription and redemption purposes, the Series amortizes organizational and initial offering costs over a 60 month period (“net asset value for all other purposes” or the “net asset value per Unit for all other purposes”).

(4) Management and Performance Fees

The Series is subject to a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) at the rate of 0.1875% (a 2.25% annual rate) of the Series’ month-end net asset value for all other purposes (see Note 3) calculated before reduction for any Management Fees, Performance Fees, Service Provider Fees, Sponsor’s Fees, Sales Commission or Extraordinary Fees accrued (including performance fees accrued in a prior month) as of such month-end and before giving effect to any capital subscriptions made as of the beginning of the month immediately following such month-end and before any redemptions accrued during or as of such month-end, but after all expenses as of such month-end. The Sponsor will receive the Management Fee and the Performance Fee, and will remit such fees to the Trading Advisor, although the Selling Agents or an Affiliate may receive a portion of such fees not paid over to the Trading Advisor. The Series incurred Management Fees of $202,122 and $334,550 and $22,338 and $25,196 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of which $75,116 and $25,196 is payable at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Series is subject to a quarterly performance fee (the “Performance Fee”) equal to 20% which is paid at the Series level but is calculated based on the Series’ share of the Master Fund’s new Net Trading Profits as defined by the excess, if any, of the cumulative level of Net Trading Profits attributable to the Series at the end of such quarter over the highest level of cumulative Net Trading Profits as of the end of any preceding quarter (the “High Water Mark”). The Series incurred Performance Fees of $862 and $87,250 and $15,292 and $24,228 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of which $862 and $24,228 was payable at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Trading Advisor has entered into a Trading Agreement with the Master Fund.

The Sponsor, in consultation with the Trading Advisor, may waive, rebate or reduce Management and/or Performance Fees for certain Members without entitling other Members to such waiver, rebate or reduction.

(5) Trading Activities and Related Market and Credit Risk

The Series, via its investment in the Master Fund, engages in the speculative trading of derivatives. The Series does not have any direct commitments to buy or sell financial instruments, including derivatives. The Series has indirect commitments that arise through positions held by the Master Fund in which the Series invests. However, as an investor in a Master Fund, the Series’ risk at June 30, 2011, is limited to the fair value of its investment in the Master Fund.

11


Derivatives traded at the Master Fund include both financial and non-financial contracts held as part of a diversified trading strategy. The Master Fund is exposed to market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of the contracts. Both the Series and the Master Fund are exposed to credit risk with the commercial banks and the Clearing Brokers, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Sponsor monitors the creditworthiness of the commercial banks and Clearing Brokers. Business will only be conducted with reputable institutions.

The purchase and sale of futures are executed on an exchange and requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”). Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property, such as U.S. Treasury Bills, deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited. The Clearing Brokers are FCMs.

Due to currency forward contracts being traded in unregulated markets between principals, the Master Fund and the Series, via its investment in the Master Fund, also assumes a credit risk and the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance with respect to its currency trading. Additionally, the Master Fund and the Series, via its investment in the Master Fund, are exposed to the creditworthiness of the Clearing Brokers on these trades facilitated by the Clearing Brokers. In the event of either Clearing Broker’s bankruptcy, the Master Fund could lose all or substantially all of its assets not located in segregated funds.

To evaluate and monitor counterparty risk, the AlphaMetrix Risk Department initially evaluates the credit ratings from the major agencies: Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. Credit ratings and outlooks are monitored daily for downgrades whereby an investigation is initiated upon an adverse occurrence. Further, any large decline in the daily stock price also triggers an investigation. Lastly, quarterly reports on earnings and future outlooks from counterparties are reviewed and analyzed by the AlphaMetrix Risk Department for unfavorable results.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Master Fund is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.

The Master Fund is designed to take on market risk on a systematic basis across a broad portfolio of liquid markets and to monitor and minimize exposure to all other risks, such as credit and liquidity risks. The trading systems used include various proprietary systems that are designed to control the risk taken at the individual position level as well as at the overall portfolio level. The Trading Advisor monitors and controls market risk within limits at both sector and portfolio levels.

Net trading results from derivatives for the period ended June 30, 2011 are reflected in the Series’ Condensed Statements of Operations and equal the realized and unrealized gain (loss) less trading costs. Such trading results reflect the Series’ allocated pro rata share of the net gain or (loss) arising from the Master Fund’s speculative trading of futures contracts and forward contracts and income earned on the OPCA.

The Members bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the fair value of their respective investment in the Series.

(6) Administration

Spectrum Global Fund Administration, LLC (“Spectrum US”) served as Administrator for the Platform through December 9, 2010. AlphaMetrix360 LLC (“AlphaMetrix360) served as the administrator subsequent to December 9, 2010. The Administrator is responsible for certain clerical and administrative functions of the Platform, including acting as registrar and transfer agent, calculation of NAV based on valuations provided by the Trading Advisors and the Sponsor (although the Sponsor is ultimately responsible for determining the NAV of each Fund).

12


AlphaMetrix360, an affiliate of the Sponsor, acquired the assets of Spectrum US as of December 9, 2010. The Sponsor has hired AlphaMetrix360 to provide administration services for the Series and the Master Fund.

(7) Financial Highlights

The following financial highlights in the table below show the Series’ financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for B-0 and B-2 Sub-Series Units. All performance returns noted are calculated based on the net asset value per Unit for financial reporting, with estimated organizational costs incurred prior to issuance of Units being expensed at the commencement of the operations of the Series. Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical Member’s investment over the entire period - a percentage change in the Member’s capital value for the period. The information has been derived from information presented in the financial statements.

          Regarding the information shown in the table below:

 

 

 

 

Per Unit operating performance is computed based upon the weighted-average net Units for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Total return is calculated as the change in the net asset value per Unit for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and is not annualized.

 

 

 

 

The net investment loss and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average net assets for the period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Weighted average net assets include the performance fee and are computed using month-end net assets. Net investment loss and expenses include the Series’ proportionate share of the Master Fund’s investment income (loss) and expenses, respectively. Such ratios have been annualized, with the exception of the performance fee and organizational expense.

 

 

 

 

Organizational expense has been allocated equally to the B-0 and B-2 Sub-Series, i.e. 50% of such costs at January 1, 2010 to each Sub-Series.

An individual Member’s total return and ratios may vary from those below based on the timing of capital transactions.

(8) Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Series has evaluated and disclosed all subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. Except for matters discussed in the following paragraph, there are no material events that would require disclosure in or adjustment to the Series’ financial statements through this date.

Member Subscriptions and Redemptions

Subsequent to June 30, 2011 and through the date the financial statements are issued, B-0 Members subscribed approximately $6,363,839 (of which $4,955,000 represents subscriptions received in advance as of June 30, 2011) and redeemed $147,839, and B-2 Members subscribed approximately $4,653,300 (of which $2,786,300 represents subscriptions received in advance as of June 30, 2011) and redeemed $0.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Reference is made to Item 1 “Financial Statements.” The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in connection with, the following analysis.

All figures and performance returns noted in this Item 2 are based on the net asset value and/or the net asset value per Unit for all other purposes, which complies with GAAP, except with respect to estimated organizational and initial offering costs (which are being amortized over 60 months) as described in the “Notes to Condensed Financial Statements – (3) Related Party Transactions.” All figures and performance returns communicated to investors are based on the net asset value and/or the net asset value per Unit for all other purposes.

In order to satisfy the Sponsor’s obligations under applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, investors will be required to make certain representations, warranties and covenants in the AlphaMetrix Managed Futures LLC Subscription Agreement concerning the nature of the investor, its investment in the Series and certain other related matters. In addition, the Sponsor reserves the right to request such additional information from investors as the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, requires in order to satisfy its anti-money laundering obligations. By subscribing for Units, each Member agrees to provide such information to the Sponsor upon its request.

Operational Overview

This performance summary describes the manner in which the Series has performed in the past and is not an indication of future performance. While certain market movements are attributable to various market factors, such factors may or may not have caused such movements but they may have simply occurred at or about the same time.

The Series is unlikely to be profitable in markets in which trends do not occur. Static or erratic prices are likely to result in losses. Similarly, sharp trend reversals, which can be caused by many unexpected events, can lead to major short-term losses, as well as gains.

While there is no assurance the Series will profit in any market condition, markets having substantial and sustainable price movements offer the best profit potential for the Series.

Liquidity

The Series invests a portion of its assets in the Master Fund. Virtually all of the Master Fund’s capital is held in cash, cash equivalents, or the OPCA and may be used to margin the Master Fund’s futures and currency forward positions and is withdrawn, as necessary, to pay redemptions and expenses. The Master Fund does not maintain any sources of financing other than that made available by the Clearing Brokers to fund foreign currency settlements for those instruments transacted and settled in foreign currencies. The Master Fund pays prevailing market rates for such borrowings.

A portion of the assets maintained at the Master Fund’s Clearing Brokers are restricted cash required to meet maintenance margin requirements. Included in cash deposits with the Clearing Brokers as of June 30, 2011 and 2010

15


was restricted cash for margin requirements of $2,701,983 and $23,025,518, respectively. This cash becomes unrestricted if the underlying positions it supports are liquidated.

Other than potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, due, for example, to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Master Fund’s futures and forward currency trading, the Master Fund’s and the Series’ assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so. Because the Master Fund’s assets are held in cash or in the OPCA, it expects to be able to liquidate all of its open positions or holdings quickly and at prevailing market prices, except in unusual circumstances. This generally permits the Trading Advisor to enter and exit markets, leverage and deleverage in accordance with its strategy. From its commencement of operations on October 1, 2007 through June 30, 2011, the Master Fund experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the markets in which it traded.

The Series processes redemptions on a monthly basis, with approximately corresponding redemptions out of the Master Fund. The B-2 Sub-Series incurred aggregate redemptions of $42,115 (38.65 Units) for the six months ended June 30, 2011; the B-0 Sub-Series incurred aggregate redemptions of $371,760 (340.26 Units) for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Capital Resources

The Series’ Units may be offered for sale as of the beginning, and may be redeemed as of the end, of each month.

The amount of capital raised for the Series is not expected to have a significant impact on its operations, as the Series has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for investment in the Master Fund and Member redemptions. The amount of capital invested in the Master Fund is not expected to have a significant impact on the Master Fund’s operations, as the Master Fund has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for monies to pay trading losses, trading costs and expenses. Within broad ranges of capitalization, the Master Fund’s trading positions should increase or decrease in approximate proportion to the size of the Series’ investment in the Master Fund.

The Series raises additional capital only through the sale of Units and capital is increased through the Series’ pro rata share of the Master Fund’s trading profits (if any). The Series does not maintain any sources of financing. The Master Fund does not maintain any sources of financing other than that made available by the Clearing Brokers to fund foreign currency settlements for those instruments transacted and settled in foreign currencies.

The Master Fund may trade a variety of futures-related instruments, including (but not limited to) instruments related to bonds, currencies, interest rates, equities, equity indices, debt securities and selected physical commodities and derivatives. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) and the potential inability of counterparties or brokers to perform under the terms of their contracts (credit risk). Market risk is generally to be measured by the face amount of the futures positions acquired and the volatility of the markets traded. The credit risk from counterparty non-performance associated with these instruments is the net unrealized gain, if any, on these positions plus the value of the margin or collateral held by the counterparty. The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions (“OTC”), because exchanges typically (but not universally) provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the collective credit (in some cases limited in amount, in some cases not) of the members of the exchange is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange. In over-the-counter transactions, on the other hand, traders must rely solely on the credit of their respective individual counterparties. Margins that may be subject to loss in the event of a default are generally required in exchange trading, and counterparties may require margin or collateral in the OTC markets.

The Trading Advisor attempts to control risk in all aspects of the investment process, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. The Master Fund is designed to take market risk on a systematic basis across a broad portfolio of liquid markets and to monitor and minimize exposure to all other risks, such as credit and liquidity risks. The trading systems used include various proprietary systems that are designed to control the risk taken at the individual position level as well as at the overall portfolio level. The Trading Advisor monitors and controls market risk within limits at both sector and portfolio levels.

16


The financial instruments traded by the Master Fund contain varying degrees of risk whereby changes in the market values of the futures and forward contracts or the Master Fund’s satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the Statement of Financial Condition of the Master Fund.

Due to the nature of the Master Fund’s business, substantially all its assets are represented by cash and U.S. government obligations, while the Master Fund maintains its market exposure through open futures and forward contract positions.

The Master Fund’s futures contracts are settled by offset and are generally cleared by the exchange clearinghouse function. Open futures positions are marked to market each trading day and the Master Fund’s trading accounts are debited or credited accordingly. The Master Fund’s spot and currency forward transactions conducted in the interbank market are settled by netting offsetting positions or payment obligations and by cash payments.

The value of the Master Fund’s cash and financial instruments is not materially affected by inflation. Changes in interest rates, which are often associated with inflation, could cause the value of certain of the debt securities to decline, but only to a limited extent. More importantly, changes in interest rates could cause periods of strong up or down market price trends, during which the Master Funds profit potential generally increases. However, inflation can also give rise to markets which have numerous short price trends followed by rapid reversals, in which the Master Fund is likely to suffer losses.

Results of Operations

General

The Trading Advisor manages the assets of the Series pursuant to its Diversified Managed Account Program (the “Program”). The Program employs a computer-based system to engage in the speculative trading of approximately 120 instruments including international futures, options and forwards, government securities such as bonds, as well as certain OTC instruments, which may include foreign exchange and interest rate forward contracts and swaps.

The investment objective of the Program is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through compound growth. The Trading Advisor attempts to achieve this goal by pursuing a diversified trading scheme that does not rely upon favorable conditions in any particular market, nor on market direction. The Program seeks to combine highly liquid financial instruments offering positive but low Sharpe ratios (which are designed to measure return relative to risk) and generally low correlation over the long term to other markets such as equities and fixed income. Please note, however, that there is no assurance that the Program will have a low correlation to other markets, even over the long term, and over the short term the Program may be highly correlated to other markets.

The Program employs what is traditionally know as a “systematic” approach to trading financial instruments. In this context, the term “systematic” implies that the vast majority of the trading decisions are executed, without discretion, either electronically or by a team responsible for the placement of orders based upon the instructions generated by the Winton Computer Trading System. A majority of the trades in the Program are executed electronically. The Program blends short-term trading with long-term trend following, using multiple time frames in addition to multiple models. As the name implies, the Program allocates for maximum diversification. A sophisticated system of risk management is evident in all aspects of the Program.

The Series’ account traded pursuant to the Program may experience returns that differ from other Trading Advisor accounts traded pursuant to the same Program due to, among other factors: (a) regulatory constraints on the ability of the Series to have exposure to certain contracts; (b) the Series’ selection of the Clearing Brokers, which affects access to markets; (c) the effect of intra-month adjustments to the trading level of the account; (d) the manner in which the account’s cash reserves are invested; (e) the size of the Series’ account; (f) the Series’ functional currency, the USD; and (g) the particular futures contracts traded by the Series’ account. Additionally, certain markets may not be liquid enough to be traded for the Series’ account.

The investment approach that underpins the Program is proprietary and highly confidential to the Trading Advisor. Accordingly, the description of the Program as contained herein is general only and is not intended to be exhaustive or absolute.

Performance Summary

Quarter ended June 30, 2011

This performance description is a brief summary of how the Series performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests, and is not necessarily an indication of how the Series will perform in the future. In addition, the general causes to which certain price movements are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such movements, but simply may have occurred at or about the same time. The Series’ past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the B-2 and B-0 Sub-Series had year-to-date losses of (2.46%) and (1.45%), respectively, based on the net asset value for all other purposes (see “Notes to Financial Statements – (3) Related Party Transactions”).

The following discussion is based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests.

April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011

The B-2 Subseries posted a (3.05%) loss for the month ended June 30, 2011, a loss of (3.22%) and (2.46%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and an overall gain of 4.22% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a (2.88%) loss for the month ended June 30, 2011, a loss of (2.70%) and (1.45%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and an overall gain of 6.68% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 (not annualized).

The Series experienced a negative return in June 2011. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a (3.05%) loss and the B-0 Sub-Series posted a (2.88%) loss. The negative trends that characterized May tended to continue into June. It appears there might have been some major inflection points in trends the Series has been participating in this year. Equity indices, energies and agricultural holdings were the largest negative contributors to the Series’ performance. Positions in precious metals, base metals and bond also negatively impacted performance. Currencies contributed modest gains.

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a (2.64%) loss for the month ended May 31, 2011, a 0.60% gain for the year to date as of May 31, 2011 and an overall gain of 7.49% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a (2.43%) loss for the month ended May 31, 2011, a 1.47% gain for the year to date as of May 31, 2011 and an overall gain of 9.84% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011 (not annualized).

18


The Series experienced a negative return in May 2011. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a (2.64%) loss and the B-0 Sub-Series posted a (2.43%) loss. Many of the featured market trends in April sharply reversed themselves in May. Commodities, base metals and oil suffered especially sharp reversals. Accordingly, currencies and energy positions were the largest negative contributors to the Series’ performance. Positions in equities indices, precious metals, base metals and crops performed negatively as well. The only sector with continued moves from April was in fixed income, which contributed modest gains to the Series.

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a 2.52% return for the month ended April 30, 2011, a 3.33% gain for the year to date as of April 30, 2011 and an overall gain of 10.40% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a 2.68% return for the month ended April 30, 2011, a 4.00% gain for the year to date as of April 30, 2011 and an overall gain of 12.58% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 (not annualized).

The Series experienced a positive return in April 2011. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a 2.52% return, while the B-0 Sub-Series posted a 2.68% return. Sovereign credit concerns strongly influenced the direction of many markets. The ECB benchmark rate hike sent the Euro higher, overshadowing the growing uncertainty around Greek and Portuguese fiscal troubles. The U.S. Dollar came under pressure with Standard and Poor’s reduction of the long-term credit outlook of the United States. Gold and oil rallied into the end of the month in response. Accordingly, currencies were the top performer for the month, driven mainly by long positions in the Euro. Energies, precious metals and equity indices positions likewise contributed strong positive results to the portfolio. The Series suffered slight losses in its bond holdings.

Quarter ended March 31, 2011

This performance description is a brief summary of how the Series performed during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests, and is not necessarily an indication of how the Series will perform in the future. In addition, the general causes to which certain price movements are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such movements, but simply may have occurred at or about the same time. The Series’ past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 the B-2 and B-0 Sub-Series had year-to-date returns of 0.79% and 1.28%, respectively, based on the net asset value for all other purposes (see “Notes to Financial Statements – (3) Related Party Transactions”).

January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011

The B-2 Subseries posted a (0.21%) loss for the month ended March 31, 2011, a gain of 0.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and an overall gain of 7.69% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a (0.05%) loss for the month ended March 31, 2011, a gain of 1.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and an overall gain of 9.64% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 (not annualized).

The following discussion is based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests.

The Series experienced a negative return in March 2011. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a loss of (0.21%), while the B-0 Sub-Series posted a loss of (0.05%). Winton’s fund weathered March’s turbulent markets reasonably well. The program responded in line with stress-test expectations after the Japanese earthquake shock. Positions directly exposed to the natural disaster were limited in scope, and only contributed minor harm to the portfolio. Petroleum holdings saw the largest gains over the course of the month, followed closely by a positive performance in the currencies sector. As assets now exceed US$20 billion, concerns about system capacity have arisen. However internal research indicates that the current asset levels are not expected to materially impact performance.

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a 1.21% return for the month ended February 28, 2011, a 1.00% gain for the year to date as of February 28, 2011 and an overall gain of 7.92% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a 1.37% return for the month ended February 28,

19


2011, a 1.33% gain for the year to date as of February 28, 2011 and an overall gain of 9.69% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011 (not annualized).

The Series experienced a positive return in February 2011. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a gain of 1.21%, while the B-0 Sub-Series posted a 1.37% gain. Social unrest in petroleum exporting countries captured headlines and influenced the movement of financial markets. As conflicts developed in Egypt and Libya, the price of crude oil surged and the program profited as fears mounted that the contagion would spread from North Africa to the Middle East. Accordingly, energy was the top performing sector in February, followed closely by precious metals positions in gold and silver. Soft agricultural commodities rose on record cotton highs, but these gains were offset with reversals in wheat and soybeans. The Series suffered its largest losses in government bond holdings across Asia, Europe and North America.

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a (0.20%) loss for the month of January 2011 and an overall gain of 6.63% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a (0.04%) loss for the month of January 2011 and an overall gain of 8.20% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011 (not annualized).

The Series experienced a slight loss in January 2011. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a loss of (0.20%), while the B-0 Sub-Series posted a (0.04%) loss. Gains were concentrated in agricultural commodities and stock market indices, while losses stemmed from foreign exchange and precious metal exposure. Rapidly rising food prices have contributed to an unstable Middle Eastern economic climate, and worry over the balance of power in Egypt has catapulted Brent Crude over the $100/barrel price point. However, calm settled in over the Eurozone at month’s end in reaction to a phenomenally successful bond issuance by the European Financial Stability Facility. Stock markets lifted in reaction to the generally optimistic outlook – flare-ups of civil unrest notwithstanding. Gold and other precious metals that have served as indicators of market fear fell, in a symbolic vote of confidence for global growth. With renewed optimism the fund has increased its research effort, led-off by the implementation of weekly research meetings attended by David Harding.

Quarter ended June 30, 2010

This performance description is a brief summary of how the Series performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests, and is not necessarily an indication of how the Series will perform in the future. In addition, the general causes to which certain price movements are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such movements, but simply may have occurred at or about the same time. The Series’ past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

The B-2 and B-0 Subseries ended June 30, 2010 with year-to-date returns of 2.07% and 2.51%, respectively, based on the net asset value for all other purposes (see “Notes to Financial Statements – (3) Related Party Transactions”).

April 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010

The B-2 Subseries posted a 0.98% return for the month ended June 30, 2010, a gain of 0.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and an overall gain of 2.07% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 (not annualized). The B-0 Subseries posted a 1.12% return for the month ended June 30, 2010, a gain of 0.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and an overall gain of 2.51% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 (not annualized).

The following discussion is based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests.

The Series experienced a positive return in June 2010. The B-2 Subseries posted a gain of 0.98%, while the B-0 Subseries posted a 1.12% return. The markets have had generally mixed reactions to the recent austerity measures announced by several European countries aimed at reducing deficits. The Euro was relatively unaffected, while Greek, Portuguese and Spanish bonds have continued to rise in response to continued skepticism about their long term viability. At the same time, bond yields in larger countries fell, reflecting uncertainty about current policies. Fixed income markets were the source of the Trading Advisor’s strongest returns, with US bonds continuing to rise. The Series also experienced modest returns in precious metals and interest rates, with its performance in crops,

20


livestock and cash equities virtually flat. Energies were the worst performing sector due to the Trading Advisor’s short positions suffering after a rally in crude oil. The Series experienced small losses in base metals, equity indices and currencies.

The B-2 Subseries posted a 1.29% loss for the month ended May 31, 2010, a 1.07% return for the year to date as of May 31, 2010 and an overall gain of 1.07% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010 (not annualized). The B-0 Subseries posted a 1.41% loss for the month ended May 31, 2010, a 1.37% gain for the year to date as of May 31, 2010 and an overall gain of 1.37% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010 (not annualized).

The following discussion is based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests.

The Series experienced a loss in May 2010. Despite the announcement of a nearly $1 trillion rescue package, the Euro continued to slide with growing concerns over Greek and other European sovereign debt. By being short Euro and Pound, the Series covered losses in the currency sector from being long the Australian and Canadian Dollar. The best performing sector was government bonds, as April’s rally stretched into May. The Series also experienced modest returns in crops, precious metals and interest rates. Equities, the worst performing sector, experienced losses after the Series’ long positions were undercut by strong downward movements and the May 6 “flash crash.” The Series experienced losses in energies and base metals. Winton has reduced the equity positions substantially, and has also introduced a trading system on the South African Rand and increased weighting to systems trading Chinese equities.

The B-2 Subseries posted a 1.09% return for the month ended April 30, 2010, a 2.39% return for the year to date as of April 30, 2010 and an overall gain of 2.39% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010 (not annualized). The B-0 Subseries posted a 1.15% return for the month ended April 30, 2010, a 2.83% gain for the year to date as of April 30, 2010 and an overall gain of 2.83% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010 (not annualized).

The following discussion is based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests.

The Series experienced positive returns in April 2010. The continued climb of US stock indices helped the Series post gains for March, while their European counterparts struggled amid increasing concerns over Greek sovereign debt. Currencies were the most profitable sector for the Series with the Euro weakening against the dollar and falling towards $1.32. The second best performing sector was precious metals as gold prices swung back up toward record highs, and the Series posted small gains in silver, palladium, and platinum as well. The Series posted gains in both short- and long-term interest rates. The natural gas market hovered around the $4 mark, ultimately up slightly for the month, while crude oil prices gained to close well above the $80 per barrel mark for the second month in a row. Overall, the Series posted gains in the energy sector. The Series posted losses in agricultural commodities, with gains in livestock unable to offset overall losses in softs and grains.

Quarter ended March 31, 2010

This performance description is a brief summary of how the Series performed during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests, and is not necessarily an indication of how the Series will perform in the future. In addition, the general causes to which certain price movements are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such movements, but simply may have occurred at or about the same time. The Series’ past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

The B-2 and B-0 Sub-Series ended March 31, 2010 with year-to-date returns of 1.28% and 1.65%, respectively, based on the net asset value for all other purposes (see “Notes to Financial Statements – (3) Related Party Transactions”).

January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a 3.55% return for the month ended March 31, 2010, a gain of 1.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and an overall gain of 1.28% for the Series from the inception of trading on January

21


1, 2010 through March 31, 2010 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a 3.57% return for the month ended March 31, 2010, a gain of 1.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and an overall gain of 1.65% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010 (not annualized).

The following discussion is based on the underlying performance of the Master Fund in which the Series invests.

The Series experienced positive returns in March 2010. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a gain of 3.55%, while the B-0 Sub-Series posted a 3.57% return. Strong equity market trends helped the Series post gains for March, with the S&P 500 approaching its 18-month high. Global equity indices were the most profitable sector. The second best performing sector was agricultural commodities, with sugar prices being the epicenter of action as they retraced from their 25-year high of around 29 cents per pound back down to 16 cents per pound over the course of last two months. The Euro weakened against the USD towards the end of month after an initial rally seen during the first two weeks, to close back below the $1.35 mark to make a new low for the year. The Series posted gains trading both the developed and emerging market currencies. The natural gas markets declined for the month with prices trading below the $4 mark for the first time in six months, while crude oil prices gained to close above the $80 per barrel mark. Overall, the Series posted moderate gains in the energy sector. Lack of prominent trends in the fixed income markets resulted in minimal losses for the Series.

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a 1.44% return for the month ended February 28, 2010, a 2.19% loss for the year to date as of February 28, 2010 and an overall loss of 2.19% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2010 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a 1.56% return for the month ended February 28, 2010, a 1.85% loss for the year to date as of February 28, 2010 and an overall loss of 1.85% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2010 (not annualized).

The Series experienced positive returns in February 2010. The Euro continued to fall against the USD, continuing its downward trend on the heels of the current fiscal predicament facing Greece. Mixed messages came out of Germany and other strong EU economies concerning a bailout. Currencies were the most profitable sector for the Series in February. The Series posted modest gains in the interest rate sector, with most U.S. and European bond markets lacking clear trends. Wheat, corn and soybean prices rallied while coffee and sugar prices sold off. Natural gas prices declined in February, while crude oil prices gained. Metals were the second best performing sector for the strategy in February, with prices of gold and copper rallying. Overall, the Series experienced some losses trading agricultural commodities.

The B-2 Sub-Series posted a 3.58% loss for the month of January 2010 and an overall loss of 3.58% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2010 (not annualized). The B-0 Sub-Series posted a 3.36% loss for the month of January 2010 and an overall loss of 3.36% for the Series from the inception of trading on January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2010 (not annualized).

The Series experienced some difficulty in January 2010. The B-2 Sub-Series posted a loss of 3.58%, while the B-0 Sub-Series posted a 3.36% loss. Sudden trend reversals in some of the markets in the portfolio’s investment domain, especially global equity markets, proved adverse for the strategy. The Obama Administration’s announcement of its intention to reduce speculative activities by banks started the sharp sell-off in equity markets; most global equity indices declined in January. The Series’ loss in equities was partially offset by gains posted in the interest rate sector, especially short-term rate trading in Europe and North America. Interest rate trades were the most profitable for the Series in January. In the commodity market, the strengthening USD and poor economic growth outlooks resulted in commodity market sell-off. Energy markets declined in January; the Series experienced losses trading them. Copper started the year trading near its price highs and sold off toward month-end. Agricultural commodities generally declined for January, with sugar as an exception. Sugar traded near its highs and the Series was well-positioned to capture the positive upward trends.

Variables Affecting Performance

The principal variables that determine the net performance of the Series are gross profitability from the Series’ trading activity through its investment in the Master Fund and interest income.

22


The Series’ assets that are invested in the Master Fund are maintained at the Clearing Brokers, held in the AlphaMosaic SPC - Offshore Platform Cash Account, or held in cash at the Master Fund’s commercial bank. On assets held on deposit as margin with each Clearing Broker, the relevant Clearing Broker will credit the Master Fund with interest as of the end of each month currently at a rate equal to a certain percentage of the U.S. Treasury bill rates with the remaining portion retained by the relevant Clearing Broker. In the case of non-USD instruments, the Clearing Brokers lend to all required non-USD currencies at a local short-term interest rate plus a spread. On assets held at the Offshore Platform Cash Account, the Offshore Platform Cash Account will credit the Master Fund an amount equal to 90% of the 3-month Treasury Bill rate after transaction costs as long as such rate is earned by the Offshore Platform Cash Account. If the return on the Offshore Platform Cash Account is less than 90% of the 3-month Treasury Bill rate, the Master Fund will receive its pro rata share of all interest actually earned by the Offshore Platform Cash Account.

The Series’ Management Fee, Sponsor’s Fee and Service Provider Fees are a constant percentage of the Series’ net asset value for all other purposes. Brokerage commissions, which are not based on a percentage of the Series’ net assets, are based on the volume of trades executed and cleared on behalf of the Series. Brokerage commissions are based on the actual number of contracts traded. The Performance Fees payable to the Trading Advisor are based on the new net trading profits, if any, generated by the Master Fund and allocated to the Series, excluding interest income and after reduction for brokerage commissions and certain other fees and expenses.

Most of the instruments traded on behalf of the Series are highly liquid and can generally be closed out immediately by the Master Fund, so that unrealized profits can generally be realized quickly if the relevant positions are closed out.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Series has no applicable off-balance sheet arrangements or Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations of the type described in Items 303(a)(4) and 303(a)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

No change in internal control over financial reporting (in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Platform’s or the Series’ internal control over financial reporting.
