PART I
Item 1. Business.
     (a) General Development of Business. Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was organized on July 7, 2003 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 commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
     Between December 1, 2003 (commencement of the offering period) and August 5, 2004, 20,872 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until August 6, 2004, at which time they were remitted to the Partnership for trading. The Partnership is authorized to sell 100,000 units and continues to offer Redeemable Units. Sales of additional Redeemable Units and additional general partner contributions and redemptions of Redeemable Units for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are reported in the Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital on page F-12 under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
     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 Partnership’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (“CGMHI”), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc (“Citigroup”).
     On January 13, 2009, Citigroup Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell CGM’s division, Smith Barney, which includes Smith Barney in the U.S., Smith Barney in Australia and Quilter in the U.K., to a joint venture to be formed with Morgan Stanley. The joint venture, to be called Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will combine the sold businesses with Morgan Stanley’s Global Wealth Management Group. Upon closing, Morgan Stanley will own 51% and Citigroup will own 49% of the joint venture. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup will have various purchase and sale rights for the joint venture, but Citigroup is expected to retain the full amount of its stake at least through year three and to continue to own a significant stake in the joint venture at least through year five. The transaction, which is subject to and contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close the third quarter of 2009.
     As of December 31, 2008, all trading decisions are made for the Partnership by its seven trading advisors (the “Advisors”) either directly, through individually managed accounts, or indirectly, through investments in other collective investment vehicles. The Advisors are not affiliated with one another, are not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and are not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership.
     The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2023; the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of a close of any business day; a decline in net assets after trading commences to less than $1,000,000; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
     On November 1, 2005, the assets allocated to Altis Partners Jersey Limited (“Altis”) for trading were invested in CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P. (“Altis Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 4,898.1251 Units of the Altis Master with cash equal to $4,196,275 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $701,851. Altis Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Altis using the Global Futures Portfolio program, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of Altis Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by Altis, including the Partnership are permitted to be limited partners of Altis Master. The General Partner and Altis believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process.
     On March 1, 2006, the assets allocated to Avant Capital Management L.P. (“Avant”) for trading were invested in the CMF Avant Master Fund L.P. (“Avant Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 8,177.1175 Units of Avant Master with cash equal to $6,827,887 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,349,230. Avant Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed now or in the future by Avant using the Diversified Program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of Avant Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by

Avant, including the Partnership are permitted to be limited partners of Avant Master. The General Partner and Avant believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process.
     Altis Master’s and Avant Master’s (the “Funds”) and the Partnership’s trading of futures, forwards, swaps and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America commodity exchanges and foreign commodity exchanges. The Funds and the Partnership engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with CGM.
     A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Funds in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partners elect to redeem and inform the Funds.
     Management, administrative and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Partnership and through its investment in the Funds. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commissions are charged at the Partnership level.
     On December 31, 2008, the Partnership owned approximately 35.7% of Altis Master and 30.1% of Avant Master. On December 31, 2007, the Partnership owned approximately 38.3% of Altis Master and 34.3% of Avant Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Funds. It is the Partnership’s intention to continue to invest in the Funds. Expenses to investors as a result of investment in the Funds are approximately the same and the 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 profits, if any, net of distributions.
     The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Partnership. The Partnership pays the General Partner a monthly administrative fee equal to 1/24 of 1% (0.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets of the Partnership. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating administrative fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees.
     Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisors a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year), of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisors. 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 redemptions and incentive fees. Each Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
     In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 17% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements, earned by the Advisors for the Partnership.
     The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”) with CGM which provides that the Partnership will pay CGM a brokerage commission equal to 3.5% per year calculated and paid monthly based on .29% of month-end Net Assets, in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating commissions, are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of accrued expenses and redemptions payable. CGM will pay a portion of brokerage fees to its financial advisors who have sold Redeemable Units in the Partnership. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. The Partnership will pay clearing fees directly and through its investment in the Funds. In addition, CGM has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s account during each month. The interest is earned at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average noncompetitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. 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, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is set forth under “Item 6. Selected Financial Data.” The Partnership’s Capital as of December 31, 2008 was $167,245,789.
     (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 the sale 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.
     An investor may lose all of their investment.
     Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, an investor could lose all of their investment in the Partnership.
     The Partnership will pay substantial fees and expenses regardless of profitability.
     Regardless of its trading performance, the Partnership will incur fees and expenses, including brokerage and management fees. Substantial incentive fees may be paid to one or more of the Advisors even if the Partnership experiences a net loss for the full year.
     An investor’s ability to redeem or transfer units is limited.
     An investor’s ability to redeem units is limited and no market exists for the units.
     Conflicts of interest exist.
     The Partnership is subject to numerous conflicts of interest including those that arise from the facts that:
  1.   The General Partner and commodity broker are affiliates;
 
  2.   Each of the Advisors, the commodity broker and their principals and affiliates may trade in commodity interests for their own accounts; and
 
  3.   Smith Barney financial advisors will receive ongoing compensation for providing services to an investor’s account.

4


 

     Investing in units might not provide the desired diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio.
     The Partnership will not provide any benefit of diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio unless it is profitable and produces returns that are independent from stock and bond market returns.
     Past performance is no assurance of future results.
     The Advisors’ trading strategies may not perform as they have performed in the past. The Advisors have from time to time incurred substantial losses in trading on behalf of clients.
     An investor’s liability may exceed cash distributions.
     Investors are taxed on their share of the Partnership’s income, even though the Partnership does not intend to make any distributions.
     The General Partner may allocate the Partnership’s assets to undisclosed advisors.
     The General Partner at any time may select and allocate the Partnership’s assets to undisclosed Advisors. Investors may not be advised of such changes in advance. Investors must rely on the ability of the General Partner to select commodity trading advisors and allocate assets among them.
     New regulation may impact the Partnership’s trading.
     In June 2008, several bills were proposed in the U.S. Congress in response to record energy and agricultural prices. Some of the pending legislation, if enacted, could limit trading by speculators in futures markets. Other potentially adverse regulatory initiatives could develop suddenly and without notice. At this time management is unable to determine the potential impact on the Partnership.
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 CGMHI or its subsidiaries 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.
Regulatory Matters
     Both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) have advised Citigroup Global Markets that they were or are reviewing transactions in which Ameritech Pension Trust purchased from Citigroup Global Markets and certain affiliates approximately $20.9 million in participations in a portfolio of motels owned by Motels of America, Inc. and Best Inns, Inc. With respect to the IRS review, Citigroup Global Markets and certain affiliated entities have consented to extensions of time for the assessment of excise taxes that may be claimed to be due with respect to the transactions for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989.
IPO Civil Litigation
     In April 2002, consolidated amended complaints were filed against Citigroup Global Markets and other investment banks named in numerous alleged class actions filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations of certain federal securities laws (including Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to the allocation of shares for certain initial public offerings and related aftermarket transactions and damage to investors caused by allegedly biased research analyst reports. On February 19, 2003, the court issued an opinion denying defendants’ motion to dismiss.
     On October 13, 2004, the court granted in part the motion to certify class actions for six focus cases in the securities litigation. Citigroup Global Markets is not a defendant in any of the six focus cases.
     On June 30, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered an order in In Re: Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation agreeing to review the district court’s order granting plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit reversed the district court’s class certification order. The plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing in January 2007. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit panel that reversed the district court’s class certification decision denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing, and on May 18, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing en banc. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases as well as amended master allegations for all cases in the coordinated proceedings. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify new classes in the six focus cases. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended pleadings in November 2007 and filed an opposition to the new motion for class certification in December 2007.

Enron-Related Civil Actions
     Citigroup Global Markets, Citigroup and various other Citigroup-related entities have been named as defendants in over 20 civil lawsuits pending in state and federal courts throughout the United States, alleging claims against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets based on their dealings with Enron. The majority of these cases have been brought by purchasers and sellers of Enron equity and debt securities and Enron-linked securities. Many of the plaintiffs in these actions are large, institutional investors that had substantial Enron and Enron-linked holdings. The lawsuits collectively allege as against Citigroup and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries, among other things, federal securities fraud, state law claims of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and related claims. In most of these lawsuits, Citigroup is named as a co-defendant along with other investment banks alleged to have had dealings with Enron. The majority of cases pending in the federal courts have been, or are in the process of being, consolidated before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. In addition, in five adversary proceedings in the Enron Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Enron and, in one case, its co-debtor affiliates and subsidiaries, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Enron Corp., et al., have named Citigroup and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries as defendants.
     In September 2003, Citigroup Global Markets (and Citigroup and various Citigroup-affiliates) were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding, Enron v. Citigroup, et al. (In re Enron Corp., et al.), filed by Enron in its chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings against entities that purchased Enron bankruptcy claims from Citigroup, seeking to disallow or to subordinate those claims. The case was scheduled for trial beginning April 28, 2008. Additionally, in November 2003, Enron filed an additional adversary action against Citigroup Global Markets (and Citibank) seeking to recover fees paid to Citigroup Global Markets in connection with the proposed Enron-Dynegy merger. Discovery is proceeding in that action.
     A Citigroup affiliate, along with other defendants, settled all claims against it in In Re: NewPower Holdings Securities Litigation, a class action brought on behalf of certain investors in NewPower securities. Citigroup reached this settlement agreement without admitting any wrongdoing. On September 13, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York preliminarily approved the settlement.
     In April 2005, Citigroup, along with other financial institution defendants, reached an agreement-in-principle to settle four state-court actions brought by various investment funds, which were not previously consolidated or coordinated with other actions. The four cases are OCM Opportunities Fund III, L.P., et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al.; Pacific Investment Management Co. LLC, et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al.; AUSA Life Insurance v. Citigroup Inc., et al. and Principal Global Investors v. Citigroup Inc., et al. The amounts to be paid in settlement of these actions are covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On June 3, 2005, Citigroup Global Markets (along with Citigroup) and various financial institution defendants reached an agreement in principle to settle a state court action (subsequently consolidated with Newby), Retirement Systems of Alabama v. Merrill Lynch, et al., brought by an Alabama public corporation comprising various state employee pension funds that had purchased Enron securities from (among others) Citigroup Global Markets. The district court approved the settlement on July 5, 2005. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On June 13, 2005, Citigroup announced a settlement of the Enron class action litigation (Newby, et al. v. Enron Corp., et al.) currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. This settlement resolved all claims against Citigroup brought on behalf of the class of purchasers of publicly traded equity and debt securities issued by Enron and Enron-related entities between September 9, 1997 and December 2, 2001. The settlement, which involves a pre-tax

6


 

payment of $2.0 billion to the settlement class, was fully covered by Citigroup’s existing litigation reserves. It has been approved by The Board of Regents of the University of California (the lead plaintiff) and the Citigroup Board. On May 24, 2006, the district court in Texas gave final approval to Citigroup’s settlement of the securities class action.
     On January 2, 2007, the court entered final judgment terminating Ravenswood I, L.L.C., et al. v. Citigroup, Inc., et al. in light of a settlement including Citigroup Global Markets. The action, asserting state statutory and common law claims, had been filed on behalf of successors in interest to certain Enron securities owned by Prudential, and subsequently coordinated with Newby. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On January 18, 2007, the court dismissed American National Insurance Co., et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al. in light of a settlement including Citigroup Global Markets. The action, asserting state securities and common law claims, had been filed in Texas state court and subsequently coordinated with Newby. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On January 23, 2007, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend the complaint in Silvercreek Management Inc. v. Salomon Smith Barney, Inc., a federal securities law and fraud action against Citigroup Global Markets (and other defendants) on behalf of several funds that allegedly sustained losses arising out of their investments in Enron securities. The action is currently pending.
     On January 25, 2007, the court entered final judgment terminating Public Employees Retirement Systems of Ohio v. Fastow, et al. in light of a settlement between plaintiffs and certain financial institution defendants (including Citigroup Global Markets). The action, asserting state securities and common law fraud claims, had been filed in Ohio state court on behalf of four Ohio pension funds that purchased Enron securities, and was subsequently coordinated with Newby. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On August 15, 2007, Citigroup Global Markets (along with other Citigroup entities and various other financial institutions) filed motions to dismiss Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority v. Lay, et al., an action sounding in fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, and arising out of an Enron transaction with a Connecticut state agency. The case had been coordinated with Newby until the court’s decision on class certification. Plaintiff filed its opposition on November 9, 2007 and Citigroup partially joined a reply submitted by other financial institutions on January 30, 2008. This action was settled on February 14, 2008. The amount paid to settle this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On December 27, 2007, plaintiff moved for leave to amend its complaint in Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, Washington v. Citigroup, et al. The case, originally filed in Washington federal court in 2004, arises out of alleged losses caused by Enron’s electricity overcharges to a public utility. It alleges three causes of action against Citigroup Global Markets (along with various Citigroup entities and other financial institutions). The action had been coordinated with Newby until the court’s decision on class certification. Citigroup Global Markets and other defendants filed an opposition on January 28, 2008.
     On January 28, 2008, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on plaintiffs’ appeal against the court’s dismissal of various third-party petitions filed by certain Enron outside directors and Arthur Andersen against Citigroup Global Markets (and various other financial institution defendants). The petitions, collectively referred to as the Fleming Cases, assert fraud and negligence claims; they were filed in Texas state court and subsequently coordinated with Newby.

     Citigroup Global Markets (along with Citigroup, Citibank, N.A., and various J.P. Morgan Chase-entities) has been named in multiple actions brought by certain bank participants in, as well as “vulture funds” who purchased certain banks’ interests in, two revolving Enron credit facilities and a syndicated letter of credit facility. The cases, Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., et al., and DK Acquisition, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase, et al., had been coordinated with Newby until the court’s decision on class certification. The actions were conditionally transferred to the Southern District of New York on December 10, 2007. Defendants filed partial summary judgment motions in both cases on December 6, 2007. A third action, Bayerische Landesbank, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, et al., brought by certain bank participants in the Enron facilities and subsequently coordinated with Newby, was settled on July 31, 2007, and the district court approved the settlement on August 22, 2007. The amount paid in settlement was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On April 4, 2008, Citigroup announced an agreement to settle actions filed by Enron in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings seeking to recover payments to Citigroup as alleged preferences or fraudulent conveyances, to disallow or equitably subordinate claims of Citigroup and Citigroup transferees on the basis of alleged fraud, and to recover damages from Citigroup for allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty. Under the terms of the settlement agreement (which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on April 24, 2008), Citigroup will make a pre-tax payment of $1.66 billion to Enron and will waive certain claims in the Enron bankruptcy proceeding. Enron will also allow specified Citigroup-related claims in the bankruptcy proceeding, including all of the bankruptcy claims of parties holding approximately $2.4 billion of Enron credit-linked notes (“CLNs”) and will release all claims against Citigroup. Citigroup reached a separate settlement agreement resolving all disputes with the holders of the CLNs, including a suit against Citigroup pending in the Federal District Court in Houston. The amounts of both settlements were fully covered by Citigroup’s existing litigation reserves.
     On September 29, 2006, Citigroup Global Markets (along with Citigroup and a third-party defendant) filed a partial motion to dismiss in Vanguard Balanced Index Fund, et al. v. Citigroup, et al. The action was filed in Pennsylvania state court in 2003 by certain investment funds, and asserts claims under state securities and common law, arising out of plaintiffs’ purchase of certain Enron-related securities. Vanguard filed opposition papers on November 14, 2006, and the defendants filed their reply on December 1, 2006. On January 21, 2009, the parties settled. The case had been coordinated with Newby (discussed above) until it was remanded to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in June 2008. Pursuant to the settlement, the case was voluntarily dismissed on February 4, 2009.
     Additional actions remain pending against Citigroup and its affiliates and JP Morgan Chase, as co-agents on certain Enron revolving credit facilities. The plaintiffs are commercial banks that participated in the facilities and purchasers of the resulting Enron bank debt on the secondary market. Plaintiffs allege that defendants aided and abetted Enron’s fraud, and the breaches of fiduciary duty of Enron’s officers, by engaging in transactions that they knew Enron was not properly reporting in its financial statements, and that defendants knew that Enron was in default under various provisions of its credit agreements and fraudulently failed to advise the syndicate members. These cases have been consolidated and are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Dynegy Inc.
     On June 6, 2003, the complaint in a pre-existing alleged class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (In Re: Dynegy Inc. Securities Litigation) brought by purchasers of publicly traded debt and equity securities of Dynegy Inc. was amended to add Citigroup, Citibank and Citigroup Global Markets as defendants. The plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of

8


 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the Citigroup defendants. The Citigroup defendants filed a motion to dismiss in March 2004, which motion was granted by the district court in October 2004. The court denied lead plaintiff’s request for leave to appeal.
     The court had also previously denied lead plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend. No appeal was timely filed. On April 15, 2005, as part of a global settlement involving all defendants, Citigroup entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle this case. The amount to be paid in settlement was covered by existing litigation reserves.
WorldCom-Related Litigation
     Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants — along with twenty-two other investment banks, certain current and former WorldCom officers and directors, and WorldCom’s former auditors — in a consolidated class action brought on behalf of individuals and entities who purchased or acquired publicly traded securities of WorldCom between April 29, 1999 and June 25, 2002 in In Re: WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The class action complaint asserts claims against Citigroup Global Markets under (i) Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with certain bond offerings in which it served as underwriter, and (ii) Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b), alleging that it participated in the preparation and/or issuance of misleading WorldCom registration statements and disseminated misleading research reports concerning WorldCom stock. In 2003, the district court denied Citigroup Global Markets’ motion to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint and granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.
     Pursuant to an order entered May 28, 2003, the district court consolidated approximately seventy-eight individual actions with the class action for pretrial proceedings. The claims asserted in these individual actions are substantially similar to the claims alleged in the class action and assert state and federal securities law claims based on Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports concerning WorldCom and/or Citigroup Global Markets’ role as an underwriter in WorldCom offerings. Plaintiffs in certain of these actions filed motions to remove their cases to state court. The district court denied these motions and its rulings were upheld on appeal.
     Numerous other actions asserting claims against Citigroup Global Markets in connection with its research reports about WorldCom and/or its role as an investment banker for WorldCom are pending in other federal and state courts around the country. These actions have been remanded to various state courts, are pending in other federal courts, or have been conditionally transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be consolidated with the class action. As of December 31, 2007, one WorldCom individual action remained pending, in Texas state court. The balance of the individual actions have been settled or dismissed by court order. The settlements of those actions are covered by existing litigation reserves. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal of one of those actions. In addition to the court suits, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its WorldCom research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These actions assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the class action.
     On May 10, 2004, Citigroup announced that it had agreed to pay $2.58 billion to settle the WorldCom class action suits. A fairness hearing was held on November 5, 2004 in connection with the proposed class settlement between plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants in In Re: WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted approval of the proposed settlement on November 10, 2004. The settlement became final in March 2006 and settlement funds have been released to the plaintiffs.

     On September 17, 2004, Weinstein, et al. v. Ebbers, et al., an alleged class action against Citigroup Global Markets and others brought on behalf of holders of WorldCom securities asserting claims based on, among other things, Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports concerning WorldCom, was dismissed with prejudice in its entirety by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs noticed an appeal of the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on October 15, 2004. The parties have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a settlement of this action and the appeal has been dismissed.
     Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, along with a number of other defendants, have settled Retirement Systems of Alabama, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., et al., a WorldCom individual action that had been remanded to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama. The settlement became final on September 30, 2004. On June 22, 2005, Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, along with other financial institution defendants, entered into a settlement agreement in Public Employees’ Retirement System of Ohio v. Ebbers, et al. Citigroup’s share of the settlement was $40 million. On August 5, 2005, Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, along with other financial institution defendants, entered into a settlement agreement in one of these actions, New York City Employees’ Retirement System v. Ebbers, et al., Citigroup’s share of the settlement was $35.557 million. The amounts paid in settlement of these actions were covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     On October 27, 2005, Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, along with all other defendants, including financial institution defendants, entered into a settlement agreement resolving all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants in 32 individual actions filed on behalf of 70 institutional plaintiffs that had opted out of the WorldCom class action settlement, all of which were brought by Lerach, Coughlin, Stoia, Geller, Rudman & Robbins LLP. Plaintiffs in these actions asserted claims under federal and state law in connection with the Citigroup-related defendants’ research coverage and underwriting of WorldCom securities. Citigroup’s share of the settlement was $249.9 million. The amount paid in settlement of these actions was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     An NASD arbitration hearing was held in Sturm, et al. v. Citigroup, et al., from September 12, 2005 through October 3, 2005. Claimants alleged research analyst conflicts of interest related to Salomon Smith Barney research coverage of WorldCom, and brought common law claims, including fraud claims, against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets. Claimants sought $901 million in compensatory damages, in addition to punitive damages. On November 28, 2005, the arbitration panel denied all of claimants’ claims in their entirety, with prejudice. On February 21, 2006, claimants filed a motion to vacate the arbitration result. On April 14, 2006, the same claimants filed another NASD arbitration proceeding arising out of their investments in Level 3 Communications, Inc. On September 20, 2006, the Citigroup-related respondents executed an agreement with the Sturms to settle all outstanding matters.
     On June 28, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and certain claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in In Re: Targets Securities Litigation, an alleged class action against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets and certain former employees, leaving only claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for purchases of Targeted Growth Enhanced Terms Securities With Respect to the Common Stock of MCI WorldCom, Inc. (“TARGETS”) after July 30, 1999. On October 20, 2004, the parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth the terms of a settlement of all remaining claims in this action. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the court on January 11, 2005 and finally approved on April 22, 2005. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.

Global Crossing
     On or about January 28, 2003, the lead plaintiff in a consolidated alleged class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (In Re: Global Crossing, Ltd. Securities Litigation) filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, which names as defendants, among others, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets, Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and certain executive officers and current and former employees. The alleged class action complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws alleging that the defendants issued research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and failed to disclose conflicts of interest with Global Crossing in connection with published investment research. On March 22, 2004, the lead plaintiff amended its consolidated complaint to add claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Asia Global Crossing. The added claims assert causes of action under the federal securities laws and common law in connection with Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports about Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing and for Citigroup Global Markets’ roles as an investment banker for Global Crossing and as an underwriter in the Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing offerings. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss all of the claims against them on July 2, 2004. In March 2005, the plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants reached a settlement of all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants, including both research and underwriting claims, and including claims concerning losses in both Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, for a total of $75 million. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on March 8, 2005 and on July 6, 2005, granted final approval and rejected all objections to the settlement.
     In addition, on or about January 27, 2004, the Global Crossing Estate Representative filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (i) an adversary proceeding asserting claims against, among others, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees, asserting claims under federal bankruptcy law and common law in connection with Citigroup Global Markets’ research reports about Global Crossing and for its role as an underwriter in Global Crossing offerings, and (ii) an adversary proceeding against Citigroup and several other financial institutions seeking to rescind the payment of a $1 billion loan made to a subsidiary of Global Crossing. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss the former action on June 26, 2004 and settled it on September 12, 2005. The amount paid in settlement of this action was covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss the latter action on May 28, 2004, which motion is still pending. On August 20, 2008, plaintiff filed an amended complaint that narrowed the pending claims. The Citigroup-related defendants have yet to respond to the amended complaint.
     In addition, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its Global Crossing research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These arbitration proceedings assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the alleged class action.
Adelphia Communications Corporation
     On July 6, 2003, an adversary proceeding was filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on behalf of Adelphia Communications Corporation against certain lenders and investment banks, including Citigroup Global Markets, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., and Citigroup Financial Products, Inc. (together, the “Citigroup Parties”). The complaint alleges that the Citigroup Parties and numerous other defendants committed acts in violation of the Bank Holding Company Act and the common law. The complaint seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. In November 2003, a similar adversary proceeding was filed by the Equity Holders Committee of Adelphia. In June 2004, motions to dismiss were filed with respect to the complaints of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Equity Holders Committee. Those motions were decided by the bankruptcy

11


 

court, and were granted in part and denied in part. The district court affirmed in part and reversed in part the bankruptcy court’s decision. The Adelphia Recovery Trust, which has replaced the committees as the plaintiff in the action, has filed an amended complaint on behalf of the Adelphia Estate, consolidating the two prior complaints; motions to dismiss the amended complaint and answers have been filed.
     In addition, Citigroup Global Markets is among the underwriters named in numerous civil actions brought to date by investors in Adelphia debt securities in connection with Adelphia securities offerings between September 1997 and October 2001. Three of the complaints also asserted claims against Citigroup and Citibank, N.A. All of the complaints alleged violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also alleged violations of state securities laws and the common law. The complaints sought unspecified damages. In December 2003, a second amended complaint was filed and consolidated before the same judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Following settlements of the class action (which is pending appeal) and other individual actions, two cases remain outstanding. The Second Circuit is considering whether the plaintiff in one has proper standing to sue. In September 2007, motions to dismiss in the other case were granted in part and denied in part.
     Without admitting any liability, Citigroup Global Markets and numerous other financial institution defendants have agreed to settle In Re Adelphia Communications Corporation Securities and Derivative Litigation for a total of $250 million, subject to final court approval. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York approved the settlement in November 2006. Citigroup Global Markets’ share of the settlement is covered by existing reserves.
Mutual Funds
     Citigroup and certain of its affiliates have been named in several class action litigations pending in various federal district courts arising out of alleged violations of the federal securities laws, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the common law (including breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment). The claims concern practices in connection with the sale of mutual funds, including allegations involving market timing, revenue sharing, incentive payments for the sale of proprietary funds, undisclosed breakpoint discounts for the sale of certain classes of funds, inappropriate share class recommendations and inappropriate fund investments. The litigations involving market timing have been consolidated under the Multidistrict Litigation rules in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and the litigations involving revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs in these litigations generally seek unspecified compensatory damages, rescissionary damages, injunctive relief, costs and fees. In the principal market timing cases that name Citigroup, a lead plaintiff has been appointed but that plaintiff has not yet filed an amended complaint. In the cases concerning revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated and amended complaint on December 15, 2004. Citigroup moved to dismiss the claims and the motion was granted. An appeal is currently pending. Several derivative actions and class actions were also dismissed against Citigroup defendants in this action (and Citigroup expects that additional actions will be dismissed on similar grounds).
     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.
Research Analyst Litigation
     Since May 2002, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants in numerous alleged class action complaints, individual actions, and arbitration demands by purchasers of various securities alleging that they violated federal securities law, including Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain state laws for allegedly issuing research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and for allegedly failing to disclose conflicts of interest with companies in connection with published investment research, including Global Crossing, Ltd., AT&T Corp., Level 3 Communications, Inc., Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., XO Communications, Inc., Williams Communications Group Inc., and Focal Communications, Inc. The alleged class actions relating to research of these companies are pending before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated proceedings. The court has consolidated these actions into separate proceedings corresponding to the companies named above.
     On December 2, 2004, the court granted in part and denied in part the Citigroup-related defendants’ motions to dismiss the claims against it in the AT&T, Level 3, XO and Williams actions. On January 6, 2005, the court granted in part and denied in part Citigroup’s motion to dismiss the claims against it in the Metromedia action.
     On September 30, 2008, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district court’s order granting class certification in the matter In Re Salomon Analyst Metromedia Litigation. Thereafter, on October 1, 2008, the parties reached a settlement pursuant to which Citigroup will pay $35 million to members of the settlement class that purchased or otherwise acquired Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc. securities during the class period. The settlement was preliminarily approved on November 19, 2008. The proposed settlement amount is covered by existing litigation reserves.
     On August 17, 2006, the court approved Citigroup’s settlement of the AT&T action, In Re Salomon Analyst AT&T Litigation. On September 29, 2006, the court approved Citigroup’s settlements of the Level 3, XO and Williams actions, In Re Salomon Analyst Level 3 Litigation, In Re Salomon Analyst XO Litigation and In Re Salomon Analyst Williams Litigation, respectively. On March 23, 2007, the district court approved Citigroup’s settlement of the Focal action. All of the settlements are final and no longer subject to appeal. The amounts paid in settlement of these actions were covered by existing Citigroup litigation reserves.
     Beginning in 2003, several individual actions have been filed against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets relating to, among other things, research on Qwest Communications International, Inc. alleging violations of state and federal securities laws. In October 2006, Citigroup settled the two remaining Qwest-related actions: California State Teachers’ Retirement System v. Qwest Communications

13


 

International, Inc., et al., and State Universities Retirement System of Illinois v. Qwest Communications International Inc., et al.
     Two alleged class actions against Citigroup Global Markets asserting common law claims in connection with published investment research on behalf of Citigroup Global Markets customers have been dismissed by United States District Courts, one of which was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and one of which was affirmed by the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Plaintiffs in the Ninth Circuit case sought review by the United States Supreme Court; which was subsequently denied.
     On September 22, 2005, Citigroup reached an agreement-in-principle to settle all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants in Norman v. Salomon Smith Barney, et al., a class action asserting violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and various common law claims in connection with certain investors who maintained guided portfolio management accounts at Smith Barney. On May 18, 2006, the court gave final approval to the settlement. The settlement is final and no longer subject to appeal. The settlement amount was covered by existing litigation reserves.
     On August 17, 2005, in Disher v. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the district court’s grant of plaintiffs’ motion to remand the case to state court, and directed the district court to dismiss the case as preempted under the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (“SLUSA”). On June 26, 2006, the United States Supreme Court granted plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated the opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and then remanded the case to the Seventh Circuit for further proceedings. On January 22, 2007, the Seventh Circuit dismissed Citigroup’s appeal from the district court’s removal order for lack of appellate jurisdiction. On February 1, 2007, plaintiffs secured an order reopening this case in Illinois state court and on February 16, 2007, Citigroup removed the reopened action to federal court. On May 3, 2007, the district court remanded the action to Illinois state court, and on June 13, 2007, Citigroup moved in state court to dismiss the action. That motion remains pending.
Supervisory Investigation
     In May 2003, the SEC, NYSE and the NASD issued a subpoena and letters to Citigroup Global Markets requesting documents and information with respect to their continuing investigation of individuals in connection with the supervision of the research and investment banking departments of Citigroup Global Markets. Other parties to the Research Settlement have received similar subpoenas and letters.
Citigroup Shareholder Litigation
     In July 2002, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain officers were named as defendants in an alleged class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, brought on behalf of purchasers of Citigroup common stock between July 24, 1999 and July 23, 2002. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for common law fraud. Fourteen virtually identical complaints have been filed and consolidated. The complaints allege that Citigroup misstated the extent of its Enron-related exposure, and that Citigroup’s stock price fell once the true extent of Citigroup’s Enron involvements became known. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 10, 2003, which incorporated the allegations in the 15 separate actions and added new material as well. The amended complaint focuses on certain transactions between Citigroup and Enron and alleged analyst conflicts of interest. The class period for the consolidated amended complaint is July 24, 1999 to December 11, 2002. On June 2, 2003, Citigroup filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs’ response was filed on July 30, 2003 and Citigroup’s reply was filed on October 3,

14


 

2003. On August 10, 2004, Judge Swain granted Citigroup’s motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in October 2004.
NASD Settlement
     In November 2004, Citigroup Global Markets entered into a final agreement with the NASD to resolve the NASD’s investigation into certain of its selling practices. Without admitting or denying any allegations or findings, Citigroup Global Markets accepted certain factual findings by the NASD that it (i) sold units in two managed futures funds to 45 customers for whom the investment was not suitable, (ii) failed to maintain records disclosing the basis upon which its investor suitability determinations were made and (iii) failed to adequately disclose the risks of investing in managed futures products on its website. Citigroup Global Markets consented to a censure and a fine of $275,000 and offered to redeem the investment of the customers for whom investment in the two managed futures funds was found not suitable.
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 March 21, 2008, an investor filed a complaint against Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and Smith Barney, and his financial advisor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations of Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as claims for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, suitability, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of applicable NASD and FINRA conduct rules, arising out of plaintiff’s investment in ARS.

Citigroup Inc., et al., was filed against Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and Smith Barney, alleging violations of Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Advisers Act arising out of plaintiff’s investment in Auction Rate Securities. On September 22, 2008, the Citigroup defendants filed a motion to compel arbitration, which was granted on October 10, 2008. A motion to reconsider the District Court’s decision was denied on October 21, 2008. This action is currently stayed, pending arbitration
     On August 25, 2008, lead plaintiffs in In Re Citigroup Auction Rate Securities Litigation, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, filed an amended consolidated class action complaint.

Citigroup Inc., et al., and both are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties currently are briefing defendants’ motions to dismiss these complaints, which were filed on January 15, 2009.

     On August 7, 2008, Citigroup reached a settlement with the New York Attorney General, the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 Litigation
     Citigroup, along with numerous other financial institutions, has also been named as a defendant in several lawsuits by shareholders of entities that originated subprime mortgages, and for which Citigroup Global Markets underwrote securities offerings. These actions assert that Citigroup Global Markets violated Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, arising out of allegedly false and misleading statements contained in the registration statements and prospectuses issued in connection with those offerings. Specifically, Citigroup Global Markets has been named as a defendant in (i) two alleged class action lawsuits brought by shareholders of American Home Mortgage Investment Corp., pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York; and (ii) three alleged class action lawsuits brought by shareholders of Countrywide Financial Corp. and its affiliates, pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On September 12, 2008, defendants, including Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, moved to dismiss the complaint in In Re American Home Mortgage Securities Litigation. A motion to remand to California state court has been filed in one of the Countrywide-related actions. The plaintiffs in each of the class actions have sought unspecified damages relating to the alleged losses sustained by the class.
     On September 30 and October 28, 2008, Citigroup, certain Citigroup entities, certain current and former directors and officers of Citigroup and Citigroup Funding, Inc., and certain underwriters of Citigroup notes, including Citigroup Global Markets, were named as defendants in two putative class actions filed in New York state court but since removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These actions allege violations of Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, arising out of various offerings of Citigroup notes during 2006, 2007, and 2008. On December 10, 2008, these two actions were consolidated under the caption In re Citigroup Inc. Bond Litigation, and lead plaintiff and counsel were appointed. On January 15, 2009, plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint.
     Citigroup Global Markets, along with numerous other firms, has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits by shareholders of Ambac Financial Group, Inc. for which Citigroup Global Markets underwrote securities offerings. These actions assert that Citigroup Global Markets violated Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, arising out of allegedly false and misleading statements contained in the registration statements and prospectuses issued in connection with those offerings. Several of these actions have been consolidated under the caption In Re Ambac Financial Group, Inc. Securities Litigation, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and in which a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed on August 22, 2008. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on October 21, 2008.

registration statements and prospectuses issued in connection with two offerings of American Home Mortgage securities underwritten by Citigroup Global Markets, among others. Defendants, including Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on September 12, 2008.
     Beginning in August 2008, Citigroup Global Markets, along with a number of other financial institutions, was named as a defendant in eight complaints filed by shareholders of Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) in connection with the underwriting of three offerings of Fannie Mae stock during 2007 and 2008. Citigroup Global Markets, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss three of the suits that alleged violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The remaining actions allege violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. On January 29, 2009, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation heard oral argument on whether all lawsuits pending against Citigroup Global Markets and several other lawsuits pending against other defendants should be consolidated.
     Citigroup Global Markets, along with a number of other financial institutions, has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York brought by Freddie Mac shareholders who purchased preferred shares traceable to a November 2007 offering of Z Preferred Shares. Plaintiffs allege violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because the offering materials failed to disclose Freddie Mac’s exposure to mortgage-related losses, poor underwriting procedures and risk management, and the resulting negative impact to Freddie’s capital.
     Several civil litigations have been filed against Citigroup and related individuals and entities alleging violations of the federal securities laws and Delaware state law in connection with investments in MAT Five LLC. The alleged class action lawsuits have been consolidated in the Southern District of New York under the caption In Re MAT Five Securities Litigation. Similar related actions have been filed in California, Delaware and New York state court. Citigroup removed the New York state court action to federal court and currently is responding to a motion for a preliminary injunction filed in the Delaware Chancery Court action seeking to enjoin a tender offer interest in MAT Five LLC. A consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in In Re MAT Five Securities Litigation on October 2, 2008. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on December 4, 2008.
     A purported class action complaint, Leber v. Citigroup Inc., et al., was filed against Citigroup and its administration and investment committees, alleging that defendants engaged in prohibited transactions and breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence by authorizing or causing the Citigroup 401(k) Plan to invest in Citigroup-affiliated mutual funds and to purchase services from Citigroup-affiliated entities. The complaint was brought on behalf of all participants in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan from 2001 through the present.
     Citigroup and its administration and investment committees filed a motion to dismiss the purported class action complaint in Leber v. Citigroup, Inc., et al., on August 29, 2008. The motion is currently pending.
     Beginning in October 2008, four putative class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) investors and shareholders. These actions allege violations of Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 arising out of allegedly false and misleading statements contained in the registration statements and prospectuses issued in connection with offerings of AIG debt securities and common stock, some of which were underwritten by Citigroup Global Markets.

     In the course of its business, Citigroup Global Markets, as a major futures commission merchant and broker-dealer, is a party to various claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings that the general partner believes do not have a material effect on the business of Citigroup Global Markets.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
     The Partnership aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation and permit investors to diversify a traditionally structured stock and bond portfolio. The Partnership attempts to accomplish its objectives through speculative trading in U.S. and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices,

20


 

agricultural and energy products and precious and base metals directly, or through investments in the Funds. The Partnership may employ futures, swaps, options on futures, and forward contracts in those markets.
     The General Partner manages all business of the Partnership/Funds. The General Partner has delegated its responsibility for the investment of the Partnership’s assets to the Advisors. The General Partner employs a team of approximately 20 professionals whose primary emphasis is on attempting to maintain quality control among the Advisors to the partnerships operated or managed by the General Partner. A full-time staff of due diligence professionals use state-of-the-art technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities. In selecting the Advisors for the Partnership, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements.
     Responsibilities of the General Partner include:
    due diligence examinations of the Advisors;
 
    selection, appointment and termination of the Advisors;
 
    negotiation of the management agreements; and
 
    monitoring the activity of the Advisors.
     In addition, the General Partner prepares the books and records and provides the administrative and compliance services that are required by law or regulation from time to time in connection with operation of the Partnership. These services include the preparation of required books and records and reports to limited partners, government agencies and regulators; computation of net asset value; calculation of fees; effecting subscriptions, redemptions and limited partner communications; and preparation of offering documents and sales literature.
     The General Partner seeks the best prices and services available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions. The General Partner reviews at least annually, the brokerage rates charged to commodity pools similar to the Partnership to determine that the brokerage fee the Partnership pays is competitive with other rates.
     The programs traded by each Advisor on behalf of the Partnership are: Altis — The Global Financial Program and Avant — Diversified Program. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s assets were allocated among the Advisors in the following approximate percentages: Altis 19% and Avant 9%.
     Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited.
     Altis trades its Global Diversified Program on behalf of the Partnership. It is a systematic, automated trading program that builds on the Principals’ market experience and employs a unique proprietary Advanced Asset Allocator. The Advanced Asset Allocator was specifically developed to manage portfolios of derivative instruments in a robust and scalable manner. The portfolio management technology combines original, traditional and contrasting investment techniques into one complete and comprehensive trading system. Investments changes are implemented after considering their effect on the whole portfolio not just the individual markets concerned.
     Avant Capital Management L.P.
     Avant trades its Diversified Program on behalf of Avant Master.
     Avant’s Diversified Program was developed specifically for energy futures and related options, and has concentrated historically in the natural gas market. Both NYMEX futures and options are traded utilizing outright long and short positions, time spreads and other trading tactics. The focus is on long-term core positions, while simultaneously managing short-term positions, based on technical and fundamental analysis and risk management.

21


 

     There are no restrictions on which commodity interest Avant will trade. While trading will focus on natural gas, it may also include other energy markets as opportunities arise. In addition to trading NYMEX futures and options, the trading of over-the-counter products, such as NYMEX swaps, basis swaps and Gas daily swaps may also occur.
     Effective risk management is a crucial aspect of Avant’s trading program. Account size, expectation, volatility of market traded and the nature of other positions taken are all factors in deciding whether to take a position and determining the amount of equity committed to that position. Avant will also use dollar stops, time stops and technical stops to control risk.
     No assurance can be given that the Advisors’ strategies will be successful or that they will generate profits for the Partnership.
     (a) Liquidity.
     The Partnership does not engage in the sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s assets are its (i) investment in partnerships, (ii) equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts, and (iii) distribution and 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 losses occurred during the year ended December 31, 2008.
     To minimize this risk relating to low margin deposits, the Partnership follows certain trading policies, including:
  (i)   The Partnership/Funds invests their assets only in commodity interests that the Advisors believe 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 Advisors believe will permit them to enter and exit trades without noticeably moving the market.
 
  (ii)   An Advisor will not initiate additional positions in any commodity if these positions would result in aggregate positions requiring a margin of more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to that Advisor.
 
  (iii)   The Partnership/Funds may occasionally accept delivery of a commodity. Unless such delivery is disposed of promptly by retendering the warehouse receipt representing the delivery to the appropriate clearinghouse, the physical commodity position is fully hedged.
 
  (iv)   The Partnership/Funds do not employ the trading technique commonly known as “pyramiding,” in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of additional positions in the same or related commodities.
 
  (v)   The Partnership/Funds do not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership/Funds take delivery of any cash commodities.
 
  (vi)   The Advisors may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership/Funds. The term “spread” or “straddle” describes a commodity futures trading strategy involving the simultaneous buying and selling of futures contracts on the same commodity but involving different delivery dates or markets and in which the trader expects to earn a profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference between the prices of the two contracts.
 
  (vii)   The Partnership/Funds will not permit the churning of their commodity trading accounts. 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.

22


 

     In the normal course of business, the Partnership and the Funds are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include swaps and certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
     Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership/Funds due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership 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. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, an exchange or clearing organization acts as counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership’s/Fund’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. As of December 31, 2008, there are no OTC swap contracts the Partnership/Funds are party to. The Partnership/Funds have credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets is CGM.
     As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership pays or receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Partnership to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Partnership does not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees” (“FIN 45”).
     The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s/Funds’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Funds are subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. (See also “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further information on financial instrument risk included in the notes to financial statements.)
     Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures and 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 trading day.

23


 

     (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 moves 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, commissions, advisory fees and administrative fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon the level of trading and the ability of the Advisors to identify and take advantage of price movements in the commodity markets, in addition to the level of Net Assets maintained. In addition, the amount of interest income payable by CGM is dependent upon interest rates over which the Partnership has no control.
     No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given period. A Limited Partner may require the Partnership to redeem their Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of each month, after an initial six-month holding period, on 10 days notice to the General Partner. A fee equal to 1% of the value of the units redeemed will be charged for redemptions of units held for less than 12 months. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 32,691.6051 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $46,200,870. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 23,646.4057 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $29,382,009. For the year ended December 31, 2006, 5,290.7074 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $6,310,028.
     Offering and organization costs of $100,000 relating to the issuance and marketing of the Partnership’s Redeemable Units offered were initially paid by CGM. These costs were recorded as due to CGM in the Statement of Financial Condition. These costs have been reimbursed to CGM by the Partnership in 24 monthly installments (together with interest at the prime rate quoted by JPMorgan Chase & Co.).
     For the year ended December 31, 2008, all of these costs have been reimbursed to CGM by the Partnership.
     For the year ended December 31, 2008, there were additional sales of 33,621.0347 Redeemable Units totaling $45,104,000. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were additional sales of 65,774.6650 Redeemable Units totaling $80,500,000. For the year ended December 31, 2006, there were additional sales of 41,568.2794 Redeemable Units totaling $49,755,000.
     (c) Results of Operations.
     For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 19.4% from $1,261.98 to $1,506.43. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 5.2% from $1,199.34 to $1,261.98. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 11.4% from $1,077.01 to $1,199.34.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $45,599,249 before brokerage commissions and expenses in 2008. Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading in currencies, energy, grains, indices, lumber, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, metals and softs.
     In 2008, the liquidity crisis that began in 2007 rapidly spread to all corners of the globe, significantly pushing down global economic growth and presenting the U.S. economy with the hardest challenges since the Great Depression. During the year, the world’s credit markets virtually seized up, commodity prices plunged and most major equity indices declined dramatically, while some of the largest U.S. financial institutions were under pressure. Faced with unprecedented rapid deterioration in economic data and outlook, and fearing a snowball adverse effect of the credit crunch, global central banks reacted with

24


 

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 of the sectors.
     Profits were primarily realized from trading in fixed income, equity indices, and energy. The Partnership was profitable in interest rates as the yield on short term notes dropped significantly. Short term U.S. Treasury bills were in such high demand due to flight-to-quality that the yields had dropped below zero during the year. While the 10Yr T-bill yielded on an 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. Global equity indices also contributed to the gains as indices continued to test multi-year lows. As financial institutions continued to write off the assets and as bankruptcies loomed, investors lost confidence in the equity markets. Futures markets offered greater flexibility as the SEC temporarily banned short selling in the equity markets. The Partnership also realized 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.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $10,964,378 before brokerage commissions and expenses in 2007. Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading in energy, grains, metals, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses recognized in the trading of currencies, livestock, indices and softs.
     2007 proved to be an eventful year as the sub-prime credit crisis and the increasing probability that the U.S. was going to run into recession resonated throughout the capital and commodity markets. The equity market experienced a surge in volatility in February when nervousness about changes to Chinese stock market regulations sparked a sharp 5% drop in the U.S. equity markets. By late-July, disturbance in the credit markets emerged as a headline issue for all financial markets for the remainder of the year. The revaluation of risk resulted in a flight-to-quality driven rally in prices of sovereign debt instruments as central bankers moved quickly to cut rates. As a result, the U.S. dollar became less attractive in the midst of these events and weakened considerably against most major currencies during the latter half of the year.
     The return of market volatility benefited the fund and resulted in profits for the strategy. Profits were realized in fixed income as market turbulence created favorable environment for significant directional moves in interest rates and a strong bias towards price rallies in all Treasury securities. In agricultural market trading, gains were earned in wheat and the soybean complex as prices rallied considerably on reductions in supply expectations. While prices of base metals moved erratically during most of the year on signs of slowing Chinese economic growth, profits earned more than offset losses.
     Slightly offsetting gains were losses realized in soft commodities and currencies. In soft commodities, losses were accumulated in coffee and cocoa as prices surprisingly fell in August on excess exports from growers in Africa and Indonesia. Losses were also taken in trading currency as the U.S. dollar weakened against low-yielding currencies such as the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc.
     The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $6,569,858 before brokerage commissions and expenses in 2006. Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading in metals, indices, energy and U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses recognized in the trading of grains, non-U.S. interest rates, livestock and softs.
     In the General Partner’s opinion, the Advisors continue to employ trading methods and produce results consistent with their expected performance given market conditions and the objectives of the Partnership. The General Partner continues to monitor the Advisors’ performance on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis to assure these objectives are met.
     It should be noted that commodity markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to identify those price trends correctly. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
     (d) Operational Risk.
     The Partnership is directly exposed to market risk and credit risk, which arise in the normal course of its business activities. Slightly less direct, but of critical importance, are risks pertaining to operational and back office support. This is particularly the case in a rapidly changing and increasingly global environment with increasing transaction volumes and an expansion in the number and complexity of products in the marketplace.
     Such risks include:
     Operational/Settlement Risk — the risk of financial and opportunity loss and legal liability attributable to operational problems, such as inaccurate pricing of transactions, untimely trade execution, clearance

25


 

and/or settlement, or the inability to process large volumes of transactions. The Partnership is subject to increased risks with respect to its trading activities in emerging market securities, where clearance, settlement, and custodial risks are often greater than in more established markets.
     Technological Risk — the risk of loss attributable to technological limitations or hardware failure that constrain the Partnership’s ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers, and in the markets where the Partnership/Funds participate.
     Legal/Documentation Risk — the risk of loss attributable to deficiencies in the documentation of transactions (such as trade confirmations) and customer relationships (such as master netting agreements) or errors that result in noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
     Financial Control Risk — the risk of loss attributable to limitations in financial systems and controls. Strong financial systems and controls ensure that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, and that financial information utilized by management and communicated to external parties, including the Partnership’s unit holders, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors.
     (e) Critical Accounting Policies.
     Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
     Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnership has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale” (“FAS 102”).
     Investments. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in commodity futures 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.
     Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership and the Funds (as defined in note 5 “Investment in Partnerships”) adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) 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 did not apply the deferral allowed by FASB Staff Positions No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
     The Partnership and the Funds consider prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available, are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in partnerships (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investments in partnerships reflects its proportional interest in the partnerships. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
     Futures Contracts. The Partnership and the Funds trade futures contracts. 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 S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership. When the contract is closed, the Partnership 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 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.

26


 

     Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership and the Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership’s and Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and 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 the Funds are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the Funds. 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 the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     Options. The Partnership/Funds may purchase and write (sell) options. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Partnership/Funds write an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Partnership/Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
     Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
     In 2007, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 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” of being 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 the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2008 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
     The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2005.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On March 19, 2008, FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 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. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedged items and has no impact on how the Partnership accounts for derivatives (the Partnership does not have hedged items). Management is evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and does not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Introduction
     The Partnership/Funds are a speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments held by them are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.

27


 

     The risk to the limited partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of Partnership assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
     Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Partnership’s/Funds’ open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash balances. The Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s/Funds’ open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.
     The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
     Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership/Funds could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s/Funds’ speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership/Funds of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s/Funds’ experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s/Funds’ losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s/Funds’ attempts to manage their market risk.
Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk
     The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor except for statements of historical fact (such as the terms of particular contracts and the number of market risk sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period).
     The Partnership’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Advisors is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s/Funds’ mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions including investments in other Partnerships, is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings (realized and unrealized) and cash balances. Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%—99% of any one-day 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), 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.

28


 

     The fair value of the Partnership’s futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the Advisors may trade commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the following 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 in almost all cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments.
     In quantifying the Partnership’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
     The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s investments and investments in other Partnerships by market category as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the highest and lowest value at any point and the average value during the years. All open position trading risk exposures have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $167,245,789.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
     The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership/Funds is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Partnership/Funds. The magnitude of the Partnership’s/Funds’ open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions — unusual, but historically recurring from time to time — could cause the Partnership/Funds to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table — as well as the past performance of the Partnership/Funds — give no indication of this “risk of ruin.”
Non-Trading Risk
     The Partnership/Funds have non-trading market risk on their foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial.
     Materiality as used in this section, “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership’s/Funds’ market sensitive instruments.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
     The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Partnership/Funds manage their primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner and the Advisors for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’s/Funds’ risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the management strategies of the Partnership/Funds. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s/Funds’ current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long- term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.
     The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2008 by market sector.

31


 

     Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures and forward positions held by the Partnership/Funds and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Partnership’s/Funds’ profitability. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-8 countries. However, the Partnership/Funds also take futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations.
     Currencies. The Partnership’s/Funds’ 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/Managing Member does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s/Funds’ currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the U.S. dollar-based Partnership/Funds in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
     Stock Indices. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership/Funds are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2008 the Partnership’s/Funds’ primary exposures were in the Hong Kong Futures Exchange (HKFE) and Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) stock indices. The General Partner/Managing Member anticipates little, if any, trading in non-G-8 stock indices. The Partnership/Funds are primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for the Partnership/Funds to avoid being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.)
     Metals. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of palladium and silver. Although the Advisors will from time to time trade base metals such as copper, the principal market exposures of the Partnership/Funds have consistently been in the palladium, platinum and silver.
     Softs. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Coffee, cotton and sugar accounted for the substantial bulk of the Partnership’s/Funds’ commodity exposure.
     Energy. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary energy market exposure is to natural gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East. Oil prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.
     Grains. The Partnership’s/Funds’ commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
     The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership/Funds as of December 31, 2008.
     Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s/Funds’ primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, Euro and British pounds. The Advisors regularly convert foreign currency balances to dollars in an attempt to control the Partnership’s/Funds’ non-trading risk.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
     The General Partner/Managing Member monitors and controls the Partnership’s/Funds’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Funds are subject.

32


 

     The General Partner/Managing Member monitors the Partnership’s/Funds’ performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisors concerning the Partnership’s overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner/Managing Member could require the Advisors to close out individual positions as well as enter certain positions traded on behalf of the Partnership. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The General Partner/Managing Member primarily relies on the Advisors’ own risk control policies while maintaining a general supervisory overview of the Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk exposures.
     The Advisors apply their own risk management policies to their trading. The Advisors often follow diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisors’ research of risk management often suggests ongoing modifications to their trading programs.
     As part of the General Partner’s/Managing Member’s risk management, the General Partner periodically meets with the Advisors to discuss their risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisors’ portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisors are required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to their programs.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The management of Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (the Partnership), 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 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 Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, management concluded that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria referred to above.
 
The Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, as stated in their report dated March 26, 2009 which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Partners of
Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P.:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial condition, including the schedule of investments, and the related statement of income and expenses, and statement of changes in partners’ capital present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations 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, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 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 opinions on these financial statements and on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audit. 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 company’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 generally accepted accounting principles. A company’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 company; (ii) 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 company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’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

Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was organized on July 7, 2003 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 commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
 
Between December 1, 2003 (commencement of the offering period) and August 5, 2004, 20,872 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until August 6, 2004, at which time they were remitted to the Partnership for trading. The Partnership is authorized to sell 100,000 units and continues to offer Redeemable Units.
 
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 Partnership’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”). CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (“CGMHI”), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”).
 
On January 13, 2009, Citigroup Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell CGM’s division, Smith Barney, which includes Smith Barney in the U.S., Smith Barney in Australia and Quilter in the U.K., to a joint venture to be formed with Morgan Stanley. The joint venture, to be called Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will combine the sold businesses with Morgan Stanley’s Global Wealth Management Group. Upon closing, Morgan Stanley will own 51% and Citigroup will own 49% of the joint venture. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup will have various purchase and sale rights for the joint venture, but Citigroup is expected to retain the full amount of its stake at least through year three and to continue to own a significant stake in the joint venture at least through year five. The transaction, which is subject to and contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close the third quarter of 2009.
 
The General Partner and each Limited Partner share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each except that no Limited Partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of their initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
 
The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2023; the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of a close of any business day; a decline in net assets after trading commences to less than $1,000,000; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Partnership has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale” (“FAS 102”).

  c.   Investments.  All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in commodity futures 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.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Partnership and the Funds (as defined in note 5 “Investment in Partnerships”) adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) 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. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Partnership and the Funds did not apply the deferral allowed by FASB Staff Positions No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Partnership and the Funds consider prices for exchange traded commodity futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in partnerships (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investments in partnerships reflects its proportional interest in the partnerships. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership and the Funds did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Partnership and the Funds trade futures contracts. 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 S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and Funds. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and Funds records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership and the Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership’s and Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  f.    London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Nickel, Tin or Zinc. LME contracts traded by the Partnership and the Funds are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the Funds. 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 the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  g.   Options.  The Partnership and the Funds may purchase and write (sell), both exchange listed and over-the-counter, options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Partnership and the Funds write an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Partnership and the Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

  h.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 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 the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2008 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
 
The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2005.
 
  i.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 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. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedged items and has no impact on how the Partnership accounts for derivatives (the Partnership and the Funds do not have hedged items). Management is evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and does not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
 
  j.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
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 Partnership pays the General Partner a monthly administration fee equal to 1/24 of 1% (0.5% per year) of month-end net assets. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating administrative fees, are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees. The Partnership will also pay the General Partner an incentive fee payable annually equal to 5% of the Partnership’s overall New Trading Profits, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, earned by the General Partner for the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the General Partner earned incentive fees of $1,750,838, $166,156 and $133,960, respectively.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The Partnership consists of individually managed accounts where the underlying advisors will be unknown to the Limited Partners. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) with seven registered commodity trading advisors (the “Advisors”). The Advisors are not affiliated with one another, are not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and are not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. The Partnership pays the Advisors a monthly management fee

F-16


 

 
Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements

equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to each Advisor. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating management fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees. Each Management Agreement may be terminated by either party.
 
In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 17% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements, earned by the Advisors for the Partnership.
 
  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 7/24 of 1% (3.5% 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 brokerage commissions are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of accrued expenses and redemptions payable. CGM will pay a portion of brokerage commission to its 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. The Partnership will pay for National Futures Association fees, as well as exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) directly and through its investment in the Funds. All of the Partnership’s assets 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, 2008 and 2007, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $7,320,973 and $6,001,767, respectively. CGM has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its 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. 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.
 
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.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The average fair values for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, based on a monthly calculation, were $2,820,552 and $1,770,338, respectively.
 
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.
 
5.   Investment in Partnerships:
 
On November 1, 2005, the assets allocated to Altis Partners Jersey Limited (“Altis”) for trading were invested in CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P. (“Altis Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 4,898.1251 Units of the Altis Master with cash equal to $4,196,275 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $701,851. Altis Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Altis using the Global Futures Portfolio program, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest

together in one vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of Altis Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by Altis, including the Partnership are permitted to be limited partners of Altis Master. The General Partner and Altis believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process.
 
On March 1, 2006 the assets allocated to Avant Capital Management L.P. (“Avant”) for trading were invested in the CMF Avant Master Fund L.P. (“Avant Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 8,177.1175 Units of Avant Master with cash equal to $6,827,887 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,349,230. Avant Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed now or in the future by Avant using the Diversified Program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of Avant Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by Avant, including the Partnership are permitted to be limited partners of Avant Master. The General Partner and Avant believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process.
 
Altis Master’s and Avant Master’s (the “Funds”) trading of futures, forwards, swaps and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America commodity exchanges and foreign commodity exchanges. The Funds engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with CGM.
 
A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Funds in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and inform the Funds.
 
Management, administrative and incentive fees are are charged at the Partnership level. All clearing fees are borne by the Partnership and through its investment in the Funds. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commissions are charged at the Partnership level.
 
On December 31, 2008, the Partnership owned approximately 35.7% of Altis Master and 30.1% of Avant Master. On December 31, 2007, the Partnership owned approximately 38.3% of Altis Master and 34.3% of Avant Master. It is the intention of the Partnership to continue to invest in the Funds. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Funds. Expenses to investors as a result of investment in the Funds are approximately the same and the redemption rights are not affected.

8.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership and the Funds are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership/Funds due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership/Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership’s/Fund’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. As of December 31, 2008, there are no OTC swap contracts the Partnership/Funds are party to. The Partnership/Funds have credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets is CGM.
 
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership/Funds pay or receive a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written

options expose the Partnership/Funds to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Partnership/Funds do not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees” (“FIN 45”).
 
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s/Funds’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Funds are subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s/Funds’ business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
On November 1, 2005 (date Master commenced trading), Citigroup Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P., formerly Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (“Global Diversified”) and Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (“Emerging CTA”) allocated a portion of their capital to the Master. Global Diversified purchased 13,013.6283 Units of the Master with cash equal to $11,227,843 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $1,785,785. Emerging CTA purchased 4,898.1251 Units of the Master with cash equal to $4,196,275 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $701,851. On February 1, 2006, CMF Institutional Futures Portfolio L.P. (“CMF Institutional”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased 3,989.7912 Units with cash equal to $5,000,000. On March 1, 2007, Citigroup Global Futures Fund LTD. (“Global Futures”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased 1,600.3547 Units with a fair value of $2,500,000. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited (the “Advisor”) using the Global Futures Portfolio Program, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Global Diversified, Emerging CTA, CMF Institutional and Global Futures (each a “Feeder”, collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 15.7%, 35.7%, 24.7% and 23.9%, investments in the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively. Global Diversified, Emerging CTA, CMF Institutional and Global Futures owned approximately 22.2%, 38.3%, 25.5% and 14.0% investments in the Master at December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) of the Master. The Master’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”). CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly-owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (“CGMHI”), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”). As of December 31, 2008, all trading decisions for the Master are made by the Advisor.
 
On January 13, 2009, Citigroup Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell CGM’s division, Smith Barney, which includes Smith Barney in the U.S., Smith Barney in Australia and Quilter in the U.K., to a joint venture to be formed with Morgan Stanley. The joint venture, to be called Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will combine the sold businesses with Morgan Stanley’s Global Wealth Management Group. Upon closing, Morgan Stanley will own 51% and Citigroup will own 49% of the joint venture. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup will have various purchase and sale rights for the joint venture, but Citigroup is expected to retain the full amount of its stake at least through year three and to continue to own a significant stake in the joint venture at least through year five. The transaction, which is subject to and contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close the third quarter of 2009.
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2025; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
2.   Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements an accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make

F-31


 

 
CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
  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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale” (“FAS 102”).
 
  c.   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 commodity futures trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gain or loss and any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) 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. SFAS 157 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 FASB Staff Positions No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Master considers 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). As of December 31, 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments 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) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

  d.   Futures Contracts.  The Master trades futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery can not occur (such as S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
 
  e.   London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts.  Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Nickel, Tin or Zinc. LME contracts traded by the Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Master 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.
 
  f.   Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the Funds at the time of such determination.
 
  g.   Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master’s income and expenses.
 
In 2007, the Master adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,

F-33


 

 
CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 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 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 the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Master for the year ended December 31, 2008 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2005.
 
  h.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 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. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedged items and has no impact on how the Master accounts for derivatives (the Master does not have hedged items). Management is evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and does not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a Management Agreement with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Master. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Funds. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
 
  c.   Customer Agreement:
 
The Master has entered into a Customer Agreement 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 National Futures Association fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the amount of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $14,456,853 and $15,547,532, respectively. The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. 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.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average fair values for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 based on a monthly calculation, were $10,509,235 and $7,074,490, respectively.
 
5.   Distributions and Redemptions:
 
A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and inform the Master.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
 
                         
    2008     2007     2006

The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year.
 
7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash

F-35


 

 
CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements

balances, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. 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. As of December 31, 2008, there are no swap contracts the Master is a party to. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM.
 
The General Partner monitors and controls 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 is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

CMF Avant Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
1.   Partnership Organization:
 
CMF Avant Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”) is a limited partnership which was organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”).
 
On March 1, 2006 (commencement of trading operations), Citigroup Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (“Emerging CTA”) purchased 8,177.1175 Redeemable Units of the Master with cash of $6,827,887 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,349,230. On May 1, 2006, Alera Portfolio SPC (“Alera SPC”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased 4,242.8088 Redeemable Units with cash of $4,795,225. On July 1, 2006, Citigroup Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (“Citigroup Diversified”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased 17,941.7382 Redeemable Units with a cash of $20,000,000. On October 1, 2006, Citigroup Energy Advisors Portfolio L.P. (“Energy Fund”) allocated a portion of its capital to the Master and purchased 2,456.7378 Redeemable Units with cash of $2,370,000. On March 31, 2007, Alera SPC redeemed its entire investment in the Master. This amounted to 1,717.5007 Redeemable Units with a fair value of $1,672,710, which includes interest income of $6,907. The Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by Avant Capital Management L.P., a Texas limited partnership (the “Advisor”) using the Managed Account Trading Program, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one vehicle.
 
The Master operates under a structure where its investors consist of Emerging CTA, Citigroup Diversified and Energy Fund, (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”) with approximately 30.1%, 57.2%, and 12.7% ownership interests of the Master at December 31, 2008, respectively and approximately 34.3%, 55.5%, and 10.2% ownership interests of the Master at December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) of the Master. The Master’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”). CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly-owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (“CGMHI”), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”). As of December 31, 2008, all trading decisions for the Master are made by the Advisor.
 
On January 13, 2009, Citigroup Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell CGM’s division, Smith Barney, which includes Smith Barney in the U.S., Smith Barney in Australia and Quilter in the U.K., to a joint venture to be formed with Morgan Stanley. The joint venture, to be called Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will combine the sold businesses with Morgan Stanley’s Global Wealth Management Group. Upon closing, Morgan Stanley will own 51% and Citigroup will own 49% of the joint venture. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup will have various purchase and sale rights for the joint venture, but Citigroup is expected to retain the full amount of its stake at least through year three and to continue to own a significant stake in the joint venture at least through year five. The transaction, which is subject to and contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close the third quarter of 2009.
 
The Master will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2026; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Master (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
2.  Accounting Policies:
 
  a.   Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to

F-46


 

 
CMF Avant Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
  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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  b.   Statement of Cash Flows.  The Master has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102 “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale” (“FAS 102”).
 
  c.   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 commodity futures 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.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) 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. SFAS 157 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 FASB Staff Positions No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Master considers 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). As of December 31, 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments 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) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

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

F-48


 

 
CMF Avant Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
 
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 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 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 the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Master for the year ended December 31, 2008 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Master’s financial statements.
 
The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Master and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2006.
 
  h.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 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. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedged items and has no impact on how the Master accounts for derivatives (the Master does not have hedged items). Management is evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements and does not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
 
3.   Agreements:
 
  a.   Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Master including, selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Master.
 
  b.   Management Agreement:
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Master, has entered into a Management Agreement with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. 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 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 National Futures Association fees (collectively the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Funds. All of the Master’s assets are deposited in the Master’s account at CGM. The Master’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the amount of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $6,298,957 and $5,380,422. The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. 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.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average fair values for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 based on a monthly calculation, were $5,014,679 and $933,428, respectively.
 
5.  Distributions and Redemptions:
 
A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”) after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of the Redemption Date. The Units are classified as a liability when the Limited Partner elects to redeem and inform the Master.
 
6.   Financial Highlights:
 
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period from March 1, 2006 (commencement of trading operations) to December 31, 2006 were as follows:

7.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Master is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
 
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. 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. As of December 31, 2008, there are no OTC swap contracts the Master is a party to. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM.
 
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Master pays or receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Master to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Master does not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees” (“FIN 45”).
 
The General Partner monitors and controls 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 is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

PART III
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
     KPMG LLP was previously the principal accountant for the Partnership. On June 26, 2008, that firm was dismissed as principal accountant and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 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, 2007, and through June 26, 2008, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP 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 year.
     The audit report of KPMG LLP on the financial statements of the Partnership as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

     The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
     Management is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.
     The General Partner’s CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2008 and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that at that date the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
     The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include policies and procedures that:
    pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
    provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP , and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and
 
    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     The report included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” includes management’s report on internal control over financial reporting (“Management’s Report”) and an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Report was not required to be audited by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report. Management elected to have its internal control over financial reporting audited.
     There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
     None.

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
 
3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
 
4.   The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) for the registrant and have:
  a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
 
  b)   designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, 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;
 
  c)   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
 
  d)   disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
5.   The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
  a)   all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
 
  b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
