1.   General:
 
Smith Barney AAA Energy Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Limited Partnership organized on January 5, 1998 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage, directly or indirectly, in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity options and commodity futures contracts on United States exchanges and certain foreign exchanges. The Partnership may trade commodity futures and options contracts of any kind. In addition, the Partnership may enter into swap contracts on energy-related products. During the initial offering period (February 12, 1998 through March 15, 1998), the Partnership sold 49,538 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”). The Partnership commenced trading on March 16, 1998. From March 16, 1998 to August 31, 2001, the Partnership engaged directly in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests.
 
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC (“CMF”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) 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.
 
On September 1, 2001, the Partnership allocated substantially all of its capital to the SB AAA Master Fund LLC, a New York Limited Liability Company (the “Master”). The Partnership purchased 128,539.1485 Units of the Master with cash equal to $121,215,820 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forward positions with a fair value of $7,323,329. The Master was formed in order to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by AAA Capital Management Advisors, Ltd. (successor to AAA Capital Management, Inc.) (the “Advisor”) using the Energy Program—Futures and Swaps, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. In addition, the Advisor is a Special Limited Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this master/feeder structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in the Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected. The Master’s commodity broker is CGM and its managing member is CMF. The Master may trade commodity futures and options contracts of any kind, but trades solely energy, energy-related products and grains. In addition, the Master may enter into swap contracts or trade in energy-related products. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Partnership owned approximately 23.9% of the Master. On December 31, 2007, the Partnership owned 24.2%, of the Master. It is the Partnership’s intention to continue to invest substantially all of its assets in the Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Master. The Master’s Statements of Financial Condition, including Schedules of Investments, Statements of Income and Expenses and Members’ Capital and Statements of Cash Flows are included herein.
 
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial condition at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. You should read these financial statements together with the financial statements and notes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

3.   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 instruments. The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets through a “master/feeder” structure. The results of the Partnership’s investment in the Master are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Partners’ Capital.
 
The customer agreement between the Partnership and CGM and the Master and CGM give the Partnership and the Master, respectively, the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures positions.
 
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average fair values of these interests during the six and twelve months ended June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, based on a monthly calculation, were $517,995,309 and $276,061,299, respectively. The fair values of these commodity interests, including options and swaps thereon, if applicable, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $797,487,922 and $293,166,993, respectively. Fair values for exchange-traded commodity futures and options are based on quoted market prices for those futures and options. Fair values for all other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available are based on other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by the General Partner.
 
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the Advisor and the Partnership’s ownership percentage.
 
4.   Fair Value Measurements:
 
Investments.  The Partnership values its investment in the Master at its net asset value per unit as calculated by the Master. The Master values its investments as described in note 2 of the Master’s notes to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2007.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 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. This statement 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 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 liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Partnership values investments in master partnerships (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership based on the end of the day net asset value of the Master (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investment in the Master reflects its proportional interest in the Master. The Partnership did not directly hold any derivative instruments that are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) or unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

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 in equity in commodity futures trading account. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Members’ Capital.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Master adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 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. This statement 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 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 liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Master considers prices for exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts to be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of 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 Master did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

5.   Financial Instrument Risks:
 
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership, through its investment in 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 flows 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 option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards, swaps and certain options. Specific market movements of the commodities or futures contracts underlying an option cannot accurately be predicted. The purchaser of an option may lose the entire premium paid for the option. The writer, or seller, of an option has unlimited risk. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract. The Master’s swap contracts are OTC contracts.
 
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 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 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. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM.
 
The Advisor will concentrate the Partnership’s trading in energy related markets. Concentration in a limited number of commodity interests may subject the Partnership’s account to greater volatility than if a more diversified portfolio of contracts were traded on behalf of the Partnership.
 
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 FIN 45.
 
The General Partner/Managing Member 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/Managing Member to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
 
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its only assets are its investment in the Master, cash and distribution receivable. The Master does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership, through its investment in the Master. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred during the second quarter of 2008.
 
The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by its investment in the Master, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Partnership capital increased 7.5% from $239,341,043 to $257,331,514. This increase was attributable to net income from operations of $35,405,604, coupled with the addition of 1,083.1527 Redeemable Units of Special Limited Partnership Interest totaling $8,667,127, which was partially offset by the redemptions of 3,460.4611 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest resulting in an outflow of $26,082,260. Future redemptions could impact the amount of funds available for investment in the Master in subsequent periods.
 
The Master’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the members as increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on commodity futures trading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of profits, if any.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Master’s capital increased 11.3% from $999,453,536 to $1,112,521,530. This increase was attributable to net income from operations of $203,604,341, coupled with the addition of 9,377.1099 Redeemable Units totaling $54,398,042, which was partially offset by the redemptions of 24,759.6030 Redeemable Units totaling $141,674,303 and distribution of interest income to feeder funds totaling $3,260,086 to the non-managing members of the Master. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Investments.  The Partnership values its investment in the Master at its net asset value per unit as calculated by the Master. The Master values its investments as described in note 2 of the Master’s notes to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2007.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 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. This statement 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 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 liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The Partnership values investments in master partnerships (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership based on the end of the day net asset value of the Master (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investment in the Master reflects its proportional interest in the Master. The Partnership did not directly hold any derivative instruments that are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) or unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Income and Expenses Recognition.  All of the income and expenses and unrealized and realized gains and losses from the commodity transactions of the Master are allocated pro rata among the investors at the time of such determination. The Master’s income and expense recognition is discussed in note 2 of the Master’s notes to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2007.
 
Options.  The Master 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 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.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership’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 dates, 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 and Partners’ Capital.
 
Income Taxes.  Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its 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


19


 

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 six months ended June 30, 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 – 2004.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncement.  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. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
 
Results of Operations
 
During the Partnership’s second quarter of 2008, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 12.7% from $7,241.71 to $8,162.13 as compared to an increase of 7.4% in the second quarter of 2007. The Partnership, for its own account, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second quarter of 2008 of $39,329,786. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master’s trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Energy Swaps, NYMEX Natural Gas, Unleaded Gasoline, IPE Gas Oil, Corn and OTC Energy Swaps and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Gasoline, NYMEX Heating Oil and Brent Crude Oil. The Partnership, for its own account, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second quarter of 2007 of $21,790,280. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master’s trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Energy Swaps, NYMEX Gasoline, NYMEX Heating Oil, NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Unleaded Gas, IPE Freight Index and OTC Energy Swaps and were partially offset by losses in IPE Gas Oil and Corn.
 
The second quarter of 2008 presented an eventful trading environment for energy traders. Several long-term trends continued in the energy markets as prices reached record territories and inflation concerns troubled federal bankers worldwide. The Partnership captured profits in both petroleum and natural gas markets amid global supply and demand imbalance and the weakened U.S. dollar continued to support energy prices. In the petroleum complex, strong demand in Asia for distillates has helped support the latest push higher in crude prices. Oil markets remained extremely volatile and a key focal point for global capital markets as higher energy prices are directly linked to global inflationary concerns. Profits were primarily earned from bullish delta positions in long crude and gas oil spread against short positions in Brent, heating oil and gasoline. In natural gas markets, the core focus shifted from a curve oriented strategy in the first quarter to a bullish delta strategy. While natural gas made new highs for three consecutive months during the first quarter, U.S. natural gas prices continued to lag behind their European and Asian counter-parts. The fundamental picture for natural gas remained constructive and reduced LNG flows into the relatively cheaper North American markets helped to keep supplies lean.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 15.6% from $7,059.21 to $8,162.13 as compared to an increase of 7.0% in the same period of 2007. The Partnership, for its own account, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $48,580,104. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master’s trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Energy Swaps, NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Natural Gas, Unleaded Gasoline, IPE Gas Oil, Brent Crude Oil, Corn and OTC Energy Swaps, and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX Gasoline and NYMEX Heating Oil. The Partnership, for its own account, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $20,604,169. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master’s trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Energy Swaps, NYMEX Gasoline, NYMEX Heating Oil, NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Unleaded Gas, IPE Freight Index, Corn and OTC Energy Swaps, and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX Crude Oil.

Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. The potential for broad and rapid price fluctuations increases the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increases the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership (and the Master) depends on the Advisor’s ability to forecast price changes in energy and energy-related commodities. Such price changes are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that the Advisor correctly makes such forecasts, the Partnership (and the Master) expects to increase capital through operations.
 
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the Advisor and the Partnership’s ownership percentage. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased by $398,426 and $566,365, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007. The increase in commissions and fees is primarily due to an increase in the number of trades during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007.
 
Interest income on 80% of the Partnership’s average daily equity allocated to it by the Master was earned at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days. CGM may continue to maintain the Master’s assets in cash and/or place all of the Master’s assets in 90-day Treasury bills and pay the Partnership its allocated shares of 80% of the interest earned on the Treasury bills purchased. CGM will retain 20% of any interest earned on Treasury bills purchased. Interest income allocated from the Master for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $1,744,892 and $3,179,768, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower average net assets as well as lower U.S. Treasury Bill rates for the Partnership during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007.
 
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $9,286 and $40,101, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007. The decrease in management fees is due to lower average net assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2007.
 
Special Limited Partner profit share allocations (incentive fees) are based on the new trading profits generated by the Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in the advisory agreement between the Partnership, the General Partner and the Advisor. The profit share allocation accrued for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $7,300,440 and $8,667,127, respectively.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
All of the Partnership’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss through its investment in the Master. The Master is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by the Master are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s capital is subject to the risk of trading loss through its investment in the Master. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Master’s and the Partnership’s main line of business.
 
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Master’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Master’s and the Partnership’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification results among the Master’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which the Master trades.
 
The Master rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Master’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
 
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Master could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Master’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Master of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Master’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Master’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Master’s attempts to manage its market risk.
 
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Master as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95% - 99% of any one-day interval. 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.
 
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Master’s open positions by market category as of June 30, 2008 and the highest, lowest and average value during the three months ended June 30, 2008. All open position trading risk exposures of the Master have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of June 30, 2008, the Master’s total capital was $1,112,521,530. There has been no material change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 June 30, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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.
 
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Other Matters
 
On June 16, 2008, CGM, among other Citigroup related defendants, settled a previously disclosed investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission arising from the economic and political turmoil in Argentina in the fourth quarter of 2001 and agreed to the entry of a Cease and Desist Order pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act which stated that the defendants violated certain books and records provisions of the Federal securities law by improperly accounting for several Argentina related developments which resulted in an overstatement of after-tax income by $311 million in that quarter. No fine or penalty was imposed and no restatement of prior financial statements was required by the SEC. The defendants consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the Commission’s findings.
 
Auction Rate Securities
 
Several individual and putative class action lawsuits have been filed against CGM related to its marketing, sale and underwriting of auction rate securities (“ARS”). These lawsuits allege, among other things, violations of the federal securities laws, federal investment adviser laws and state common law. Several of the putative class action lawsuits have been consolidated in the Southern District of New York under the caption In Re Citigroup Auction Rate securities Litigation.


24


 

On August 7, 2008, CGM reached an agreement in principle with the New York Attorney General, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other state regulatory agencies regarding marketing and sale of auction rate securities. Among other things, by November 5, 2008, CGM agreed to purchase at par ARS that are not auctioning from all Citigroup individual investors, small institutions and charities that purchased ARS from Citigroup prior to February 11, 2008. CGM also agreed to pay a civil penalty to the New York Attorney General in the amount of $50 million, and a civil penalty to the states in the amount of $50 million.
 
In addition, the CGM, along with other industry participants, has received subpoenas and/or requests for information from various self regulatory agencies and federal governmental authorities including the SEC, which has issued a formal order of investigation into whether various provisions of the federal securities laws have been violated in connection with the sale of ARS. In addition, the CGM is responding to subpoenas from various state agencies, including those in New York, Texas and Massachusetts.
 
On May 20, 2008, an investor in Falcon Two, filed a putative class action complaint against Falcon Two and several Citigroup related entities, including CGM, among others, in the Southern District of New York, in an action captioned Ferguson Family Trust v. Falcon.
 
CGM was named as a defendant in Strategies Two LLC, et al., a case alleging violations of the federal securities laws and Delaware state law in connection with a tender offer for interests in Falcon Two. On June 17, 2008, the Court denied plaintiff’s application for a preliminary injunction.
 
Several civil litigations have been filed against the CGM 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 putative 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. The CGM 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.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part  I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
 
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.
