Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2012

1. Organization and Business
 
Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC (the “Fund”) was formed on May 16, 2006, commenced operations on August 1, 2006 and is organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“LLC”). The Fund offers members Class 0 and Class 2 units of a Blended Strategies Portfolio, and Class 0 and Class 2 units of a Systematic Strategies Portfolio.  Graham Alternative Investment Ltd. (“GAI”) is a British Virgin Islands business company which was formed on June 1, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006.  The Fund invests all of its Blended Strategies Portfolio assets dedicated to trading in Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC (“GAIT”), a Delaware LLC formed on May 18, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006 through an investment in GAI.  The Fund invests all of its Systematic Strategies Portfolio assets dedicated to trading in Graham Alternative Investment Trading II LLC (“GAIT II”), a Delaware LLC formed on July 16, 2008 and commenced operations on January 4, 2009 through an investment in GAI. GAIT and GAIT II (collectively “the GAIT Funds”) invest in various master trading vehicles (“Master Funds”), all of which are managed by Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Advisor” or “Manager”). The Fund is the sole owner of GAI and GAI invests all of its assets into the GAIT Funds.  The Manager is the director of GAI and the sole investment advisor of GAI, the GAIT Funds and the Fund. The Manager is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Manager is also registered as a Registered Investment Advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Fund is registered as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading in both U.S. and foreign markets, primarily in futures contracts, forwards contracts, spot currency contracts, options and associated derivative instruments such as options and swaps through its investments in the GAIT Funds which in turn invest in various Master Funds.  The Master Funds seek to profit from opportunities in the global financial markets, including interest rate futures, foreign exchange, global stock indices and energy, metals and agricultural futures, as professionally managed multi-strategy investment vehicles.  Each of the investment programs consists of multiple trading strategies of the Manager, which the Manager has combined in an effort to diversify the Fund’s investment exposure and to make the Fund’s performance returns less volatile and more consistently profitable.
 
In addition to trading in the Interbank market for foreign exchange, the Manager currently executes orders on all the major U.S. futures exchanges and may also trade on, but is not limited to, the Bolsa de Mercadorias and Futuros (“BMF”), Borsa Italiana Idem (“IML”), the Eurex Exchange (“Eurex”), the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. (“HKEX”), the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”), the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), the Montreal Exchange (“ME”), the Mercado de Futuros Financieros (“MEFF”), the NYSE Euronext (“Euronext”), the Osaka Securities Exchange (“OSE”), the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”), the South African Exchange (“SAFEX”), the Sydney Futures Exchange Ltd. (“SFE”), the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (“TOCOM”), the Tokyo Financial Exchange (“TFX”), and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”).
 
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) serves as the independent administrator and transfer agent of the Fund and GAI.  SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of the Fund and GAI.
 
The Fund will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) of the Fund.
 
The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the GAIT Funds; therefore these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the attached financial statements of the GAIT Funds.

Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 
1. Organization and Business (continued)
 
Duties of the Manager
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Manager has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of the Fund and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund, GAI and the GAIT Funds.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The Fund owns 100% of GAI and as such these consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Fund and GAI.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Creditors of the Fund have recourse to all assets of the Fund for amounts due to them, while creditors of GAI would have recourse only to the assets of GAI.
 
Investment in Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC and Graham Alternative Investment Trading II LLC
 
The Fund records its investments in the GAIT Funds at fair value based upon the Fund’s proportionate share of the GAIT Funds’ reported net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In determining its net asset value, the GAIT Funds record their investments in Master Funds at fair value based upon the GAIT Funds’ proportionate share of the Master Funds’ reported net asset value. The Fund records its proportionate share of the GAIT Funds’ investment income and loss, expenses, fees, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on a monthly basis and includes them in the consolidated statements of operations. Purchases and sales of units in GAI and the GAIT Funds are recorded on a trade date basis. The accounting policies of the GAIT Funds are described in their attached respective financial statements.
 
Each of the GAIT Funds charges its investors, including the Fund, an advisory fee, brokerage fee, sponsor fee and incentive allocation, all of which are described in detail in Note 4. The Fund does not charge any additional fees; however each investor in the Fund indirectly bears their portion of the advisory fee, brokerage fee, sponsor fee and incentive allocation charged by the GAIT Funds.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Fund owned 34.96% and 35.15%, respectively of GAIT, and 33.35% and 33.67%, respectively of GAIT II.

Fair Value

The fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Fund and the GAIT Funds, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value (continued)

The Fund follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.

 
·
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settlement prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.
 
·
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security. With respect to the Fund’s investments in the GAIT Funds, Level 2 inputs include the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it holds an investment.
 
·
Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.

The Fund reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP.  In accordance with this hierarchy, the Fund’s investments in the GAIT Funds have been classified as a Level 2 valuation.  There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 or the year ended December 31, 2011 by the Fund, the GAIT Funds, or the Master Funds, and there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during those periods.  Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that cause the transfer.

Indemnifications
 
In the normal course of business, the Fund, the GAIT Funds, Graham Cash Assets LLC (“GCA”), and the Master Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Such contracts include those by GCA and the Master Funds with their brokers and trading counterparties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses with respect to such indemnifications and considers the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund offers Class 0 Units and Class 2 Units (collectively, the “Units”) in both Blended and Systematic Strategies Portfolios. The Fund may issue additional Classes in the future subject to different fees, expenses or other terms, or to invest in other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the Manager.
 
A separate Capital Account is maintained for each Member with respect to each member’s Class of Units. The initial balance of each member’s Capital Account is equal to the initial contribution to the Fund by such Member with respect to the Class to which such Capital Account relates. Each member’s Capital Account is increased by any additional subscription, and decreased by any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the Capital Account relates. All income and expenses of the Fund are allocated among the members’ Capital Accounts in proportion to the balance that each Capital Account bears to the balance of all Capital Accounts as of the beginning of such fiscal period.

3. Capital Accounts (continued)

Subscriptions
 
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. The minimum initial subscription from each investor in each Class is $10,000. Members may subscribe for additional Units in a minimum amount of not less than $5,000.
 
Units are available for subscription as of the first business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
 
Redemption of Units
 
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period. Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of each Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement, upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice to the administrator. A partial redemption request for an amount less than $10,000 will not be accepted, nor will a redemption request be accepted to the extent that it would result in an investor owning less than $10,000. The redemption proceeds will normally be remitted within 15 days after the Valuation Day, without interest for the period from the Valuation Day to the payment date.
 
Redemption Fees
 
Class 2 Units are subject to a redemption fee equal to 2% of their Net Asset Value if redeemed within six months from their subscription date and a redemption fee equal to 1% of their Net Asset Value if redeemed more than six and less than twelve months from their subscription date. Class 0 Units are not subject to a redemption fee. Redemption fees are payable to the Manager upon redemption of Units from the proceeds of such redemption. Redemption fees of $7,459 and $1,734 were paid to the Manager for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included as redemptions in the consolidated statements of changes in members’ capital.
 
4. Fees and Related Party Transactions
 
Advisory Fees
 
Each Class of the GAIT Funds other than Class M pays the Manager an advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of such Class. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit, in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption is effected with respect to Units of such Class during the month.
 
Sponsor Fees
 
Each Class of the GAIT Funds other than Class M pays the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of 1% of its Net Asset Value, payable monthly in arrears, determined in the same manner as the Advisory Fee.

4. Fees and Related Party Transactions (continued)
 
Incentive Allocation
 
At the end of each calendar quarter, the Manager of the GAIT Funds will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of each Class of the GAIT Funds, as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter.  Additionally, any loss carryforward attributable to any class of the GAIT Funds shall be proportionately reduced effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class by multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of assets redeemed from such class bears to the net assets of such class immediately prior to such redemption.  The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made to the Manager.
 
Brokerage Fees
 
Each Class of the GAIT Funds other than Class M pays the Manager a brokerage fee (the “Brokerage Fee”) at the annual rate specified in the table below. This Brokerage Fee is payable monthly in arrears and calculated as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory Fee.
 
Class
Annual Rate
Class 0
2%
Class 2
4%

In consideration of the Brokerage Fee, the Manager bears all of the GAIT Funds’ trading commissions (including exchange, clearing and regulatory fees relating to its trades), routine legal expenses, internal and external accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses, fees and expenses of an external or internal administrator, and expenses and costs of printing and mailing reports and notices, together with the costs incurred in connection with the organization of the GAIT Funds and the Fund and the continuous offering of Units. To the extent the GAIT Funds are allocated any of these expenses from the Master Funds in which they invest, the Manager will reimburse the GAIT Funds for those amounts.  These reimbursements are included in commission reimbursements in the GAIT Funds’ statements of operations and managing member allocation.  As a result, there is no impact to the Fund’s consolidated statement of operations.
 
Any portion of any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection with the Fund.
 
5. Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of the Fund’s revenues and expenses for income tax purposes.

5. Income Taxes (continued)

U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Manager has evaluated the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination.

Total return is calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 Units taken as a whole and has not been annualized. Total return is calculated as the change in total members’ capital adjusted for subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the applicability of Advisory Fees, Brokerage Fees, Sponsor Fees and the Incentive Allocation. The net investment loss and total expense ratios (including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 Units taken as a whole and include net amounts allocated from the GAIT Funds. The computation of such ratios is based on the amount of net investment loss, expenses and Incentive Allocation. Net investment loss and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of members’ capital for Class 0 and Class 2 Units of the Fund for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
7. Subsequent Events
 
The Fund had subscriptions of approximately $6.1 million and redemptions of approximately $2.4 million through August 14, 2012, the date through which subsequent events were evaluated by management.  These amounts have not been included in the consolidated financial statements.

Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

June 30, 2012
 
1. Organization and Business
 
Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC (“GAIT”) was formed on May 18, 2006, commenced operations on August 1, 2006 and is organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Managing Member” or “Manager”) is the Managing Member and the sole investment advisor. The Managing Member is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Managing Member is also registered as a Registered Investment Advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The investment objective of GAIT is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading through its investment in various master trading vehicles (“Master Funds”). As more fully described in Notes 2 and 3, these Master Funds invest in a broad range of derivative instruments such as currency forward and futures contracts; bond, interest rate, and index futures contracts; commodity forward and futures contracts, and options and swaps thereon traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges, as well as over-the-counter.
 
In addition to trading in the Interbank market for foreign exchange, the Manager currently executes orders on all the major U.S. futures exchanges and may also trade on, but is not limited to, the Bolsa de Mercadorias and Futuros (“BMF”), Borsa Italiana Idem (“IML”), the Eurex Exchange (“Eurex”), the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. (“HKEX”), the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”), the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), the Montreal Exchange (“ME”), the Mercado de Futuros Financieros (“MEFF”), the NYSE Euronext (“Euronext”), the Osaka Securities Exchange (“OSE”), the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”), the South African Exchange (“SAFEX”), the Sydney Futures Exchange Ltd. (“SFE”), the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (“TOCOM”), the Tokyo Financial Exchange (“TFX”), and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”).
 
Graham Alternative Investment Fund I LLC, Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC, and Graham Alternative Investment III Ltd. are the primary investors of GAIT.
 
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) is GAIT’s independent administrator and transfer agent.  SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of GAIT.
 
GAIT will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”).
 
Duties of the Managing Member
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Managing Member has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of GAIT and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of GAIT.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Managing Member to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Investments in Master Funds
 
GAIT invests in various Master Funds which are managed by the Managing Member. These investments are valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the Master Funds’ reported net asset value. Gains and losses are allocated monthly by each Master Fund to GAIT based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the net asset value of each Master Fund and are included in the statements of operations and managing member allocation.
 
During the period ended June 30, 2012 certain Master Funds in which GAIT invested consolidated their assets under Graham Commodity Strategies LLC and then ceased operations.  The dates of the consolidation were as follows:
 
Master Fund
Consolidation Date
Graham Fed Policy Ltd.
May 29, 2012
Graham Energy Fundamental LLC
May 29, 2012
Graham Macro Directional LLC
May 30, 2012
Graham Macro Technical Ltd.
May 30, 2012
Graham Macro Data Driven LLC
May 31, 2012
 
Fair Value
 
The fair value of GAIT’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the statements of operations and managing member allocation.
 
GAIT follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.

 
·
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settlement prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.
 
·
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security. With respect to GAIT’s investments in the other funds managed by the Manager, Level 2 inputs include the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it holds an investment.
 
·
Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Fair Value (continued)
 
GAIT reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP.  In accordance with this hierarchy, GAIT’s investments in Master Funds and Graham Cash Assets LLC (“GCA”) have been classified as Level 2.  These investments are discussed in Notes 3 and 4.  The Master Funds record all of their derivative financial instruments at fair value, which is derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the six months ended
June 30, 2012 or the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 by GAIT, the Master Funds, or GCA, and there were no transfers between levels during those periods. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that cause the transfer.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Master Funds utilize derivative financial instruments in connection with their trading activities. Derivative instruments derive their value from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors.  Investments in derivative financial instruments are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment.  The Master Funds’ derivative financial instruments are classified by the following primary underlying risks: interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, and equity price risks. These risks can be in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. In addition, the Master Funds are also subject to additional counterparty risk should their counterparties fail to meet the terms of their contracts.  Management of counterparty risk involves a number of considerations, such as the financial profile of the counterparty, specific terms and duration of the contractual agreement, and the value of collateral held, if any. The Master Funds have established initial credit approval, credit limits, and collateral requirements and may reduce their exposure to any counterparties they deem necessary.  Trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated derivative instruments may subject the value of, and gains and losses associated with, such contracts to additional risks related to adverse changes in the applicable exchange rates.

Unrealized gains and losses from derivative financial instruments are recorded based on changes in their fair value.  Realized gains and losses are recorded when the positions are closed.  All unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Master Funds’ statements of operations.

Futures Contracts

The Master Funds use futures contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in the value of equities, commodities, interest rates, bonds and foreign currencies.  Futures contracts are valued based upon the closing price as of the valuation date established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Futures Contracts (continued)
 
A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset or cash settlement based on the value of an asset on a specified date.  The purchase and sale of futures contracts are executed on an exchange which requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”).  Subsequent payments are made or received by the Master Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. These changes in valuation are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Master Funds.  Relative to over-the-counter derivative financial instruments, futures contracts provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. However some non-U.S. exchanges are “principals’ markets” in which no common clearing facility exists and the Master Funds may look only to the clearing broker for performance of the contract.  The U.S. Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all funds received from such FCM’s customers in respect of regulated futures transactions. If the FCM were not to do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Master Funds might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM. In that case, the Master Funds would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the FCM’s combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Master Funds was held by the FCM.  In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of an exchange or an affiliated clearing house, the Master Funds might experience a loss of funds deposited through its FCM as margin with such exchange or affiliated clearing house, the loss of unrealized profits on its open positions, and the loss of funds owed to it as realized profits on closed positions.

Forward Contracts

The Master Funds enter into foreign currency forward contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in exchange rates.  Forward currency transactions are contracts or agreements for delivery of specific currencies or the cash equivalent value at a specified future date and an agreed upon price.  Forward contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house and therefore the risks include the inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the terms of the contracts as well as the risks associated with movements in fair value.

Exchange traded forward contracts are valued based upon the settlement prices as of the valuation date, established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.  All other forward contracts are valued based upon a forward curve constructed using independently quoted forward points.  Changes in fair value of each forward contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses.

Swap Contracts

The Master Funds may enter into various swap contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in interest rates and asset values.  Swap contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or an affiliated clearing house or regulated by any U.S. or foreign government authorities.  Failure of a counterparty to meet its obligation under the terms of the swap contract could result in the loss of any unrealized gains on open positions.  It may not be possible to dispose of or close out a swap position without the consent of the counterparty, and the Master Fund may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in order to cover its risk. Swaps are subject to the International Swap and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements which generally require among other things, that a Master Fund maintain a predetermined level of net assets, and provide limits with respect to any decline in the Master Fund’s net asset value over 1-month, 3-month and 12-month periods. If a Master Fund were to violate such provisions, the counterparty to the swaps could demand liquidation of outstanding swap positions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Swap Contracts (continued)

A total return swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange cash flows calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified notional amount of the underlying assets.  The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to another.

Exchange traded swaps are valued based upon the closing prices established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.  Total return swaps are valued based upon the exchange published settle price of the underlying reference instrument.  Changes in fair value of each swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses.  The Master Funds record realized gains or losses when a swap contract is terminated.  Interest is calculated and accrued throughout the life of each swap.  Payments received at the end of each reset period are recorded against such accruals.

Options

The Master Funds may buy and sell covered and uncovered exchange traded and over-the-counter options on futures, foreign currencies, commodities, interest rates and equities to take advantage of the price movements of the financial instrument underlying the option or to hedge positions in the underlying assets.  Option contracts give one party the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time or on a specified date, a financial instrument, commodity or currency at a contracted price.  Options may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices or prices.

The Master Funds are exposed to counterparty risk to the extent that a seller of an over-the-counter option does not meet its obligations under the terms of the option contract.  The maximum risk of loss to the Master Funds is the unrealized gains of the contracts and the premiums paid to purchase its open option contracts. Relative to over-the-counter options, exchange traded options provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse guarantees the option against default.
 
Exchange traded options are valued based upon the settlement prices published as of the valuation date by the principal exchange upon which they are traded.  In the absence of an exchange published settlement price, the option will be valued using the last reported sales price reported on the exchange for the valuation date.  Over-the-counter options and exchange traded options with no reported sales price on the valuation date will generally be valued at the average of last reported bid and offer quotes from independent brokers or from the exchange, respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU No. 2011-11”).  The amendments in ASU No. 2011-11 affect all entities that have financial instruments that are either offset or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement in accordance with authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP. Entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position or subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The disclosure is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.

Indemnifications
 
In the normal course of business, the Master Funds, GCA, and GAIT enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Such contracts include those by GCA and the Master Funds with their brokers and trading counterparties. GAIT’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, GAIT has not had prior claims or losses with respect to such indemnifications and considers the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3. Investments in Master Funds
 
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, GAIT invested in various Master Funds, all of which were managed by the Manager. GAIT’s investments in these Master Funds, as well as the investment objectives of each Master Fund, are summarized below. Master Funds in which GAIT invested 5% or more of its members’ capital are individually identified, while smaller investments are aggregated under the caption “Other Master Funds.”  The number of Master Funds included for the period in each aggregated category is disclosed parenthetically next to each name.  All of the Master Funds and GAIT are related parties.  The Master Funds do not charge management or incentive fees and all offer monthly subscriptions and redemptions.

GAIT invests a portion of its excess liquidity in GCA, an entity for which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor. GCA commenced operations on June 22, 2005, and was formed as a Delaware Limited Liability Company for the purpose of consolidating investment activity of multiple funds managed by the Manager. Its objective is to preserve capital while enhancing return on cash balances and providing daily liquidity. It invests in debt obligations guaranteed by the U.S. federal government which range in maturity from one to twenty-four months. GCA also maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit with major U.S. institutions. GCA values all fixed income securities at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  GAIT’s investment in GCA is valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of GCA’s reported net asset value. GAIT records its proportionate share of GCA’s investment income and expenses on a monthly basis. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the total amount recognized by GAIT with respect to its investment in GCA was $195,327.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the total amount recognized by GAIT with respect to its investment in GCA was $412,959.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the total amount recognized by GAIT with respect to its investment in GCA was $498,565.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the total amount recognized by GAIT with respect to its investment in GCA was $1,013,711.  These amounts are included in interest income in the statements of operations and managing member allocation.  At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, GAIT owned approximately 7.02% and 11.59%, respectively, of GCA.  The following table summarizes the financial position of GCA as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

5. Capital Accounts
 
GAIT offers Class 0 Units and Class 2 Units (collectively, the “Units”). GAIT may issue additional classes in the future subject to different fees, expenses or other terms, or to invest in other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the Manager. GAIT also has Management Units (“Class M units”) which are solely for the investment of the Manager.
 
A separate Capital Account is maintained for each member with respect to each Class of Units held by such member. The initial balance of each member’s Capital Account is equal to the initial contribution to GAIT with respect to the Class to which such Capital Account relates. Each member’s Capital Account is increased by any additional subscription, and decreased by any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the Capital Account relates. All income and expenses of GAIT are allocated among the Capital Accounts of the members in proportion to the balance that each Capital Account bears to the balance of all Capital Accounts as of the beginning of such fiscal period.
 
Subscriptions
 
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. There is no minimum subscription amount.
 
Units are available for subscription as of the first business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
 
Redemptions
 
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period. Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last business day of each month upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice to the administrator.

6. Fees and Related Party Transactions
 
Advisory Fees
 
Each Class of GAIT other than Class M pays the Manager an advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of such Class. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit, in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption is effected with respect to Units of such Class during the month.
 
Sponsor Fees
 
Each Class of GAIT other than Class M pays the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of 1% of its Net Asset Value, payable monthly in arrears, determined in the same manner as the Advisory Fee.
 
Incentive Allocation
 
At the end of each calendar quarter, the Manager will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of each Class as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, any loss carryforward attributable to any class of GAIT shall be proportionately reduced effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class by multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of assets redeemed from such class bears to the net assets of such class immediately prior to such redemption.  The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made to the Manager.
 
Brokerage Fees
 
Each Class of GAIT other than Class M pays the Manager a brokerage fee (the “Brokerage Fee”) at the annual rate specified in the table below. This Brokerage Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory Fee.
 
Class
Annual Rate
   
Class 0
2%
Class 2
4%

In consideration of the Brokerage Fee, the Manager bears all of GAIT’s trading commissions (including exchange, clearing and regulatory fees relating to its trades), routine legal expenses, internal and external accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses, fees and expenses of an external or internal administrator, and expenses and costs of printing and mailing reports and notices, together with the costs incurred in connection with the organization of GAIT and the continuous offering of Units. To the extent GAIT is allocated any of these expenses from the Master Funds in which it invests, the Manager will reimburse GAIT for those amounts.  These reimbursements are included in commission reimbursements in the statements of operations and managing member allocation.
 
Any portion of any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection with GAIT.

7. Income Taxes
 
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of GAIT’s revenues and expenses for income tax purposes.
 
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing GAIT’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Manager has evaluated GAIT’s tax positions and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement or disclosure in the financial statements. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination.

*- The percentages above represent total gross expenses before commission reimbursements, which represent 0.50% of average members’ capital for 2012 and 0.52% of average members’ capital for 2011.
 
Total return is calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 units taken as a whole. Total return is calculated as the change in total members’ capital, excluding that of the Managing Member, adjusted for subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the applicability of Advisory Fees, Brokerage Fees, Sponsor Fees and the Incentive Allocation. The net investment loss and total expense ratios (including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for the Class 0 and Class 2 units taken as a whole and include amounts from GAIT and net investment loss allocated from Master Funds and GCA. The computation of such ratios is based on the amount of net investment loss, total expenses and Incentive Allocation.  Net investment loss and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of members’ capital of GAIT, excluding that of the Managing Member, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
9.  Subsequent Events
 
GAIT had subscriptions of approximately $8.1 million and redemptions of approximately $7.2 million through August 14, 2012, the date through which subsequent events were evaluated by management. These amounts have not been included in the financial statements.

Graham Alternative Investment Trading II LLC

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

June 30, 2012

1. Organization and Business
 
Graham Alternative Investment Trading II LLC (“GAIT II”) was formed on July 16, 2008, commenced operations on January 4, 2009 and is organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Managing Member” or “Manager”) is the managing member and the sole investment advisor. The Managing Member is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Managing Member is also registered as a Registered Investment Advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The investment objective of GAIT II is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading through its investment in Graham K4D Trading Ltd. (the “Master Fund” or “K4D Trading”), a master trading vehicle.  K4D Trading commenced operations on January 1, 1999 and is organized as a British Virgin Islands business company.  As more fully described in Notes 2 and 3, this Master Fund invests in a broad range of derivative instruments such as currency forward and futures contracts; bond, interest rate, and index futures contracts; commodity forward and futures contracts, and options and swaps thereon  traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges, as well as over-the-counter.
 
In addition to trading in the Interbank market for foreign exchange, the Manager currently executes orders on all the major U.S. futures exchanges and may also trade on, but is not limited to, the Bolsa de Mercadorias and Futuros (“BMF”), Borsa Italiana Idem (“IML”), the Eurex Exchange (“Eurex”), the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. (“HKEX”), the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”), the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), the Montreal Exchange (“ME”), the Mercado de Futuros Financieros (“MEFF”), the NYSE Euronext (“Euronext”), the Osaka Securities Exchange (“OSE”), the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”), the South African Exchange (“SAFEX”), the Sydney Futures Exchange Ltd. (“SFE”), the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (“TOCOM”), the Tokyo Financial Exchange (“TFX”), and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”).
 
Graham Alternative Investment Fund I LLC and Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC are the sole investors of GAIT II.
 
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) is GAIT II’s independent administrator and transfer agent.  SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of GAIT II.
 
GAIT II will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”).
 
Duties of the Managing Member
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Managing Member has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of GAIT II and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of GAIT II.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Managing Member to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Investment in Graham K4D Trading Ltd.
 
GAIT II invests in K4D Trading which is managed by the Managing Member. This investment is valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT II’s proportionate share of the K4D Trading’s reported net asset value. Gains and losses are allocated monthly by K4D Trading to GAIT II based upon GAIT II’s proportionate share of the net asset value of K4D Trading and are included in the accompanying statements of operations and managing member allocation.
 
Fair Value
 
The fair value of GAIT II’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the statements of operations and managing member allocation.
 
GAIT II follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.

 
·
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settle prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.
 
·
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security. With respect to GAIT II’s investments in other funds managed by the Manager, Level 2 inputs include the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it holds an investment.
 
·
Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.

GAIT II reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP.  In accordance with this hierarchy, GAIT II’s investments in K4D Trading and Graham Cash Assets LLC (“GCA”) have been classified as Level 2 valuations. The Master Fund records all its derivative financial instruments at fair value, which is derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the six months ended June 30, 2012 or the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 by GAIT II, K4D Trading, or GCA, and there were no transfers between levels during those periods. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that cause the transfer.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Master Fund utilizes derivative financial instruments in connection with its trading activities. Derivative instruments derive their value from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors.  Investments in derivative financial instruments are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment.  The Master Fund’s derivative financial instruments are classified by the following primary underlying risks: interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, and equity price risks. These risks can be in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. In addition, the Master Fund is also subject to additional counterparty risk should its counterparties fail to meet the terms of their contracts.  Management of counterparty risk involves a number of considerations, such as the financial profile of the counterparty, specific terms and duration of the contractual agreement, and the value of collateral held, if any. The Master Fund has established initial credit approval, credit limits, and collateral requirements and may reduce its exposure to any counterparties it deems necessary.  Trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated derivative instruments may subject the value of, and gains and losses associated with, such contracts to additional risks related to adverse changes in the applicable exchange rates.

Unrealized gains and losses from derivative financial  instruments are recorded based on changes in their fair value.  Realized gains and losses are recorded when the positions are closed.  All unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments are included in net realized loss and net decrease in appreciation on investments in the Master Fund’s statements of operations.

Futures Contracts

The Master Fund uses futures contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in the value of equities, commodities, interest rates, bonds and foreign currencies.  Futures contracts are valued based upon the closing price as of the valuation date, established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.

A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset or cash settlement based on the value of an asset on a specified date.  The purchase and sale of futures contracts are executed on an exchange which requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”).  Subsequent payments are made or received by the Master Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. These changes in valuation are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Master Fund.  Relative to over-the-counter derivative financial instruments, futures contracts provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. However some non-U.S. exchanges are “principals’ markets” in which no common clearing facility exists and the Master Fund may look only to the clearing broker for performance of the contract.  The U.S. Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all funds received from such FCM’s customers in respect of regulated futures transactions. If the FCM were not to do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Master Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM. In that case, the Master Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the FCM’s combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Master Fund was held by the FCM.  In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of an exchange or an affiliated clearing house, the Master Fund might experience a loss of funds deposited through its FCM as margin with such exchange or affiliated clearing house, the loss of unrealized profits on its open positions, and the loss of funds owed to it as realized profits on closed positions.

Forward Contracts

The Master Fund enters into foreign currency forward contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in exchange rates.  Forward currency transactions are contracts or agreements for delivery of specific currencies or the cash equivalent value at a specified future date and an agreed upon price.  Forward contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house and therefore the risks include the inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the terms of the contracts as well as the risks associated with movements in fair value.

Exchange traded forward contracts are valued based upon the settlement prices as of the valuation date, established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.  All other forward contracts are valued based upon a forward curve constructed using independently quoted forward points. Changes in fair value of each forward contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses.

Swap Contracts

The Master Fund may enter into various swap contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in interest rates and asset values.  Swap contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or an affiliated clearing house or regulated by any U.S. or foreign government authorities.  Failure of a counterparty to meet its obligation under the terms of the swap contract could result in the loss of any unrealized gains on open positions.  It may not be possible to dispose of or close out a swap position without the consent of the counterparty, and the Master Fund may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in order to cover its risk. Swaps are subject to the International Swap and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements which generally require among other things, that a Master Fund maintain a predetermined level of net assets, and provide limits with respect to any decline in the Master Fund’s net asset value over 1-month, 3-month and 12-month periods. If a Master Fund were to violate such provisions, the counterparty to the swaps could demand liquidation of outstanding swap positions.

A total return swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange cash flows calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified notional amount of the underlying assets.  The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to another.

Exchange traded swaps are valued based upon the closing prices established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.  Total return swaps are valued based upon the exchange published settle price of the underlying reference instrument.  Changes in fair value of each swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses.  The Master Fund records realized gains or losses when a swap contract is terminated.  Interest is calculated and accrued throughout the life of each swap.  Payments received at the end of each reset period are recorded against such accruals.

Options

The Master Fund may buy and sell covered and uncovered exchange traded and over-the-counter options on futures, foreign currencies, commodities, interest rates and equities to take advantage of the price movements of the financial instrument underlying the option or to hedge positions in the underlying assets.  Option contracts give one party the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time or on a specified date, a financial instrument, commodity or currency at a contracted price.  Options may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices or prices.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Options (continued)

The Master Fund is exposed to counterparty risk to the extent that a seller of an over-the-counter option does not meet its obligations under the terms of the option contract.  The maximum risk of loss to the Master Fund is the unrealized gains of the contracts and the premiums paid to purchase its open option contracts. Relative to over-the-counter options, exchange traded options provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse guarantees the option against default.
 
Exchange traded options are valued based upon the settlement prices published as of the valuation date, by the principal exchange upon which they are traded.  In the absence of an exchange published settlement price, the option will be valued using the last reported sales price reported on the exchange for the valuation date.  Over-the-counter options and exchange traded options with no reported sales price on the valuation date will generally be valued at the average of last reported bid and offer quotes from independent brokers or from the exchange, respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU No. 2011-11”).  The amendments in ASU No. 2011-11 affect all entities that have financial instruments that are either offset or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement in accordance with authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP. Entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position or subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The disclosure is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
 
Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Master Fund, GCA, and GAIT II enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Such contracts include those by the Master Fund and GCA with their brokers and trading counterparties. GAIT II’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, GAIT II has not had prior claims or losses with respect to such indemnifications and considers the risk of loss to be remote.

GAIT II invests a portion of its excess liquidity in GCA, an entity for which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor. GCA commenced operations on June 22, 2005 and was formed as a Delaware Limited Liability Company for the purpose of consolidating investment activity of multiple funds managed by the Manager. Its objective is to preserve capital while enhancing return on cash balances and providing daily liquidity. It invests in debt obligations guaranteed by the U.S. federal government, which range in maturity from one to twenty-four months. GCA also maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit with major U.S. institutions. GCA values all fixed income securities at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  GAIT II’s investment in GCA is valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT II’s proportionate share of GCA’s reported net asset value. GAIT II records its proportionate share of GCA’s investment income and expenses on a monthly basis.  For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the total amount recognized by GAIT II with respect to its investment in GCA was $32,916. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the total amount recognized by GAIT II with respect to its investment in GCA was $70,152. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the total amount recognized by GAIT II with respect to its investment in GCA was $88,652.

5. Capital Accounts
 
GAIT II offers Class 0 Units and Class 2 Units (collectively, the “Units”). GAIT II may issue additional classes in the future subject to different fees, expenses or other terms, or to invest in other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the Manager. GAIT II also has Management Units (“Class M units”) which are solely for the investment of the Manager.
 
A separate Capital Account is maintained for each member with respect to each Class of Units held by such member. The initial balance of each members’ Capital Account is equal to the initial contribution to GAIT II with respect to the Class to which such Capital Account relates. Each member’s Capital Account is increased by any additional subscription, and decreased by any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the Capital Account relates. All income and expenses of GAIT II are allocated among the members’ Capital Accounts in proportion to the balance that each Capital Account bears to the balance of all Capital Accounts as of the beginning of such fiscal period.
 
Subscriptions
 
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. There is no minimum subscription amount.
 
Units are available for subscription as of the first business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
 
Redemptions
 
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period. Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last business day of each month upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice to the administrator.

6. Fees and Related Party Transactions
 
Advisory Fees
 
Each Class of GAIT II other than Class M pays the Manager an advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of such Class. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit, in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption is effected with respect to Units of such Class during the month.
 
Sponsor Fees
 
Each Class of GAIT II other than Class M pays the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of 1% of its Net Asset Value, payable monthly in arrears, determined in the same manner as the Advisory Fee.
 
Incentive Allocation
 
At the end of each calendar quarter, the Manager will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of each Class as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, any loss carryforward attributable to any class of GAIT II shall be proportionately reduced effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class by multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of assets redeemed from such class bears to the net assets of such class immediately prior to such redemption.  The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made to the Manager.
 
Brokerage Fees
 
Each Class of GAIT II other than Class M pays the Manager a brokerage fee (the “Brokerage Fee”) at the annual rate specified in the table below. This Brokerage Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory Fee.
 
Class
Annual Rate
   
Class 0
2%
Class 2
4%

In consideration of the Brokerage Fee, the Manager bears all of GAIT II’s trading commissions (including exchange, clearing and regulatory fees relating to its trades), routine legal expenses, internal and external accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses, fees and expenses of an external or internal administrator, and expenses and costs of printing and mailing reports and notices, together with the costs incurred in connection with the organization of GAIT II and GAIT II’s continuous offering of Units. To the extent GAIT II is allocated any of these expenses from the Master Fund, the Manager will reimburse GAIT II for those amounts.  This reimbursement is included in commission reimbursements in the statements of operations and managing member allocation.
 
Any portion of any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection with GAIT II.

7. Income Taxes
 
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of GAIT II’s revenues and expenses for income tax purposes.
 
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing GAIT II’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Manager has evaluated GAIT II’s tax positions and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement or disclosure in the financial statements. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months.  Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination.

Total return is calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 units taken as a whole. Total return is calculated as the change in total members’ capital, excluding that of the Managing Member, adjusted for subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the applicability of Advisory Fees, Brokerage Fees, Sponsor Fees, and the Incentive Allocation. The net investment loss and total expense ratios (including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for the Class 0 and Class 2 units taken as a whole and include amounts from GAIT II and net investment loss allocated from the Master Fund and GCA. The computation of such ratios is based on the amount of net investment loss, expenses and Incentive Allocation. Net investment loss and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of members’ capital of GAIT II, excluding that of the Managing Member, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
9. Subsequent Events
 
GAIT II had subscriptions of approximately $0.1 million and redemptions of approximately $1.6 million through August 14, 2012, the date through which subsequent events were evaluated by management.  These amounts have not been included in the financial statements.

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

(a)
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Reference is made to “Item 1: Financial Statements”.  The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.  The Fund does not engage in the sale of goods or services.  The Fund’s capital consists of capital contributions of the members, as increased or decreased by gains and losses from its investments in the Master Funds, interest, expenses and redemptions.  Its only assets are its investments in the Master Funds.  The Master Funds do not engage in the sale of goods or services.  Their assets are comprised of the equity in their accounts with clearing brokers and OTC counterparties, in each case consisting of cash, open trade equity on derivatives and the net option premium paid or received. In the case of Graham Cash Assets LLC, the assets consist of investments in debt obligations guaranteed by the U.S. federal government, as well as cash and cash equivalents.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 the Fund’s net asset value decreased by $23,273,769 or -13.9%.  This decrease was attributable to a $21,143,774 or -12.6% net decrease in the Blended Strategies Portfolio and a $2,129,995 or -1.3% net decrease in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio.  The net decrease in the Blended Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $2,249,498 or 1.4% offset by redemptions totaling $15,269,998 or -9.1% and a net loss of $8,123,274 or -4.9% for the period.  The net decrease in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $200,034 or 0.1% offset by redemptions totaling $1,219,043 or -0.7% and a net loss of $1,110,986 or -0.7% for the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Fund’s net asset value decreased by $26,116,145 or -15.4%.  This decrease was attributable to a $22,332,894 or -13.2% net decrease in the Blended Strategies Portfolio and a $3,783,251 or -2.2% net decrease in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio.  The net decrease in the Blended Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $5,679,108 or 3.3% offset by redemptions totaling $23,267,323 or -13.7% and net a loss of $4,744,679 or -2.8%, for the period.  The net decrease in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $536,034 or 0.3% offset by redemptions totaling $3,425,814 or -2.0% and a net loss of $893,471 or -0.5%, for the period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 the Fund’s net asset value increased by $4,488,640 or 2.4%.  This increase was attributable to a $2,619,082 or 1.4% net increase in the Blended Strategies Portfolio and a $1,869,558 or 1.0% net increase in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio.  The net increase in the Blended Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $13,525,389 or 7.2% partially offset by redemptions totaling $4,812,158 or -2.6% and net a loss of $6,094,149 or -3.2%, for the period.  The net increase in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $4,232,675 or 2.2% partially offset by redemptions totaling $919,097 or -0.5% and a net loss of $1,444,020 or -0.7%, for the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Fund’s net asset value increased by $23,963,111 or 14.2%.  This increase was attributable to a $17,458,492 or 10.3% net increase in the Blended Strategies Portfolio and a $6,504,619 or 3.9% net increase in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio.  The net increase in the Blended Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $31,877,991 or 18.8% partially offset by redemptions totaling $6,239,813 or -3.7% and net a loss of $8,179,686 or -4.8%, for the period.  The net increase in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio was attributable to total subscriptions of $10,197,719 or 6.0% partially offset by redemptions totaling $1,443,532 or -0.9% and a net loss of $2,249,568 or -1.3%, for the period.

Results of Operations
 
The Fund’s success depends primarily upon the Manager’s ability to recognize and capitalize on market trends in the different and varied sectors of the global financial markets in which it trades.

Blended Strategies Portfolio

2012 Summary

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Blended Strategies Portfolio experienced net trading losses of $6,333,523 attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture / Softs
  $ (418,283 )
Base metals
    166,719  
Energy
    (6,505,727 )
Equities
    (5,100,788 )
Foreign exchange
    (2,184,520 )
Long term / intermediate rates
    7,231,002  
Precious metals
    68,838  
Short term rates
    409,236  
    $ (6,333,523 )

The Blended Strategies Portfolio posted a net loss for the second quarter of 2012. The majority of the portfolio’s performance was driven by trading in the energy complex as sharp moves in crude oil, gasoline, and natural gas led to losses for the quarter. Trading in global equities also resulted in losses due to falling equity prices in Asia and the U.S.  Foreign exchange trading negatively impacted the Fund as the portfolio was challenged by short-term volatility in various currencies.  Gains from trading in the European, U.S., and Australian long term and intermediate rates sector amidst falling yields helped to mitigate some of the overall losses for the quarter. The portfolio recorded modest profits from trading metals, including aluminum, zinc and silver, as prices declined during the quarter.

Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are discussed in detail herein.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, Brokerage Fees decreased by $172,734 or -17.4%, Advisory Fees decreased by $148,003 or -17.6% and Sponsor Fees decreased by $74,002 or -17.6% in the Blended Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These decreases are all attributable to lower net assets of the portfolio resulting from redemptions and a net loss partially offset by subscriptions for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $97,892 or -58.6%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 0.47% for the same period in 2011.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio.  For the three months ended June 30, 2012, there was no Incentive Allocation compared to $17,345 for the corresponding period of 2011 due to the portfolio’s lack of year to date profitability in 2012.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the portfolio experienced net trading losses of $1,028,276 attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture / Softs
  $ (528,117 )
Base metals
    (840,426 )
Energy
    465,849

Precious metals
    (140,078 )
Short term rates
    172,450  
    $ (1,028,276 )

The Blended Strategies Portfolio posted a net loss for the first half of 2012.  The majority of the portfolio’s losses resulted from foreign exchange due primarily to short-term volatility in European currencies.  Losses also resulted from trading base metals amidst declining prices in aluminum and rising prices in copper and zinc. The portfolio also recorded losses in agricultural commodities as prices climbed amidst drought concerns in the U.S.  Losses resulted from trading Asian equity indices amidst the year-to-date rally in risk assets; however these losses were offset by gains from euro and U.S. equity indices.  The portfolio recorded solid gains in the global fixed income markets, including Europe and Australia, as rates fell during the first half of the year. Additional gains resulted from trading natural gas, which also helped to mitigate some of the overall loss for the first half of 2012.
 
Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are discussed in detail herein.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Brokerage Fees decreased by $222,434 or -11.6%, Advisory Fees decreased by $195,217 or -12.0% and Sponsor Fees decreased by $97,609 or -12.0% in the Blended Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These decreases are all attributable to lower net assets of the portfolio resulting from redemptions and a net loss partially offset by subscriptions for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $184,850 or -55.8%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 0.48% for the same period in 2011.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio.  .  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, there was no Incentive Allocation compared to $17,473 for the corresponding period of 2011 due to the portfolio’s lack of year to date profitability in 2012.

2011 Summary

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the portfolio experienced net trading losses of $3,973,440 attributable to the following sectors:
 
Agriculture
  $ (458,718 )
Energy
    (2,999,402 )
Foreign exchange
    (992,020 )
Interest rates
    1,962,324  
Metals
    554,568  
Softs
    (723,393 )
Stock index
    (1,316,799 )
    $ (3,973,440 )
 
The portfolio recorded a net loss for the period with the energy sector contributing most significantly.  Gains in the energy sector during the early portion of the quarter due to an upward movement in prices, were offset when prices reversed and continued sharply downward in reaction to the announced release of strategic oil reserves in June.  Losses were also recognized in the equity sector as gains early in the quarter on encouraging earnings data and continued low interest rate fueled hope of a global economic recovery, were reversed when prices declined in a sharp reduction of risk in various markets.  The foreign exchange sector posted losses for the quarter.  Early gains as the U.S. dollar fell to multi-year lows against most major global currencies were offset as the risk aversion led to a safe haven demand resulting in a stronger U.S. dollar, generating losses for the portfolio.  The portfolio also incurred losses in the agriculture and softs sectors.  The portfolio generated gains in the interest rates sector led by gains in the U.S. fixed income markets as prices climbed amid the diminishing appetite for risk assets.  Gains were recognized in metals as prices moved sharply up in the beginning of the quarter which outpaced losses later in the quarter as prices reversed.

Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are discussed in detail herein.
 
 
97

 
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Brokerage Fees increased by $317,996 or 47.2%, Advisory Fees increased by $260,499 or 45.0% and Sponsor Fees increased by $130,250 or 45.0% in the Blended Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These increases are all attributable to higher net assets of the portfolio resulting from subscriptions partially offset by redemptions and a net loss for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $132,985 or -44.3%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 0.61% for the same period in 2010.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Incentive Allocation increased by $11,613 or 202.6% related to shares redeemed when the portfolio was in a period of New High Net Trading Profits.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the portfolio experienced net trading losses of $4,108,765 attributable to the following sectors:
 
Agriculture
  $ 56,280  
Energy
    (1,182,142 )
Foreign exchange

The portfolio recorded a net loss for the period in the equity sector.  Gains in the early portion of the first quarter were offset in March when the earthquake and tsunami in Japan generated risk aversion and market reversals resulting in significant losses with the largest losses stemming from the European stock indices. Losses were recognized in the second quarter as gains early in the quarter on encouraging earnings data and continued low interest rates fueled hope of a global economic recovery were reversed when prices declined in a sharp reduction of risk in various markets.  The foreign exchange sector posted losses in Asian currencies in March and later in the period as risk aversion led to a safe haven demand resulting in a stronger U.S. dollar offsetting previous gains from the U.S. dollar’s decline to multi-year lows against most major global currencies.  The portfolio recorded a net loss for the period in the energy sector as gains in the first quarter from increasing oil prices amid rising political tensions in the Middle East and Libya were overshadowed by losses in the second quarter as prices reversed and continued sharply downward in reaction to the announced release of strategic oil reserves in June. The portfolio generated gains in the interest rate sector led by the U.S. fixed income markets as prices climbed amid the diminishing appetite for risk assets. Gains were recognized in the metals sector as prices moved sharply up in the beginning of the second quarter which outpaced losses later in the quarter as prices reversed. The portfolio also recognized small gains in the agriculture sector, partially offset by losses in soft commodities.
 
Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are discussed in detail herein.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Brokerage Fees increased by $631,287 or 49.0%, Advisory Fees increased by $523,782 or 47.4% and Sponsor Fees increased by $261,891 or 47.4% in the Blended Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These increases are all attributable to higher net assets of the portfolio resulting from subscriptions partially offset by redemptions and a net loss for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $266,716 or -44.6%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 0.61% for the same period in 2010.

Systematic Strategies Portfolio

2012 Summary

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Systematic Strategies Portfolio experienced net trading losses of $793,488 attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture / Softs
  $ 8,587  
Base metals
    181,429  
Energy
    (998,109 )
Equities
    (1,543,990 )
Foreign exchange
    (383,399 )
Long Term / intermediate rates
    1,752,966  
Precious metals
    164,574  
Short term rates
    24,454  
    $ (793,488 )

The Systematic Strategies Portfolio posted a net loss for the second quarter of 2012. The majority of the portfolio’s performance was driven by trading in global equity indices amidst declining prices in Asia, U.S., and Europe.  Trading in the energy complex also led to losses as sharp moves in crude oil, gasoline, and natural gas prices negatively impacted the portfolio. Foreign exchange trading resulted in losses as the portfolio was impacted by short-term volatility in various currencies. Gains from trading in the European, U.S., and Australian long term and intermediate rates sector amidst falling yields mitigated some of the overall losses for the quarter. The portfolio recorded modest profits from trading metals, including aluminum, silver, gold, and zinc as prices declined during the quarter.

Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value, which are discussed in detail herein.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, Brokerage Fees decreased by $41,462 or -19.8%, Advisory Fees decreased by $35,469 or -25.1% and Sponsor Fees decreased by $17,735 or -25.1% in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These decreases are all attributable to lower net assets of the portfolio resulting from redemptions and a net loss partially offset by subscriptions for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $17,741 or -61.7%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 0.47% for the same period in 2011.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio.  For the three months ended June 30, 2012 there was no Incentive Allocation compared to a decrease of $2,192 in the corresponding period of 2011 due to the reversal of allocated Incentive Allocation in the last month of the first quarter in 2011.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Systematic Strategies Portfolio experienced net trading losses of $227,320 attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture / Softs
  $ (144,786 )
Base metals
    (152,653 )
Energy
    8,968  
Equities
    61,911

    725,237  
Precious metals
    13,827  
Short term rates
    (17,756 )
    $ (227,320 )

The Systematic Portfolio posted a net loss for the first half of 2012. The majority of the losses resulted from short-term volatility in foreign exchange, particularly in European and commodity-driven countries. The portfolio also incurred losses from trading in the agriculture and base metals sectors.  Higher wheat prices amidst a severe drought in the U.S., and mixed prices in base metals led to losses for the portfolio.  Losses resulted from trading Asian equity indices amidst the year-to-date rally in risk assets; however these losses were offset by gains from euro and U.S. equity indices.  The portfolio recorded gains in global long term and intermediate rates, including Asia, Australia and Europe, which helped to offset a portion of the overall year-to-date loss.

Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value, which are discussed in detail herein.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Brokerage Fees decreased by $35,467 or -9.13%, Advisory Fees decreased by $42,993 or -16.3% and Sponsor Fees decreased by $21,496 or -16.3% in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These decreases are all attributable to lower net assets of the portfolio resulting from redemptions and a net loss partially offset by subscriptions for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $30,376 or -56.3%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 0.48% for the same period in 2011.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 there was no Incentive Allocation compared to a decrease of $3,012 in the corresponding period of 2011 due to the reversal of allocated Incentive Allocation in the last month of the second quarter in 2011.

2011 Summary

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Systematic Strategies Portfolio experienced net trading losses of $1,047,609 attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture
  $ (167,533 )
Energy
    (526,731 )
Foreign exchange
    54,104  
Interest rates
    252,512  
Metals
    (113,729 )
Softs
    (214,043 )
Stock index
    (332,189 )
    $ (1,047,609 )

The energy sector generated the largest losses during the period when gains from the early portion of the quarter as prices moved higher were offset when prices reversed and continued sharply downward in reaction to the announced release of strategic oil reserves in June.  The equity sector also generated losses. Gains early in the quarter on encouraging earnings data while continued low interest rates fueled hope of a global economic recovery.  However, losses incurred as prices reversed in a sharp reduction of risk in various markets outweighed earlier gains.  Losses were recognized in the metals sector despite gains in the beginning of the quarter as prices moved sharply up which were offset by losses later in the quarter as prices reversed most notably in gold.   Losses were also recognized in the agriculture and softs sectors.  The portfolio was able to generate profits in the interest rates sector led by gains in the U.S. fixed income markets as prices climbed amid the diminishing appetite for risk assets in the beginning of the quarter offset by losses as risk appetite returned later in the quarter resulting in lower prices.  The portfolio was able to post gains in the European fixed income markets despite the sharp market reversals at the end of the quarter.  Gains were recognized in foreign exchange amid significant volatility as the U.S. dollar fell then rose sharply against European and commodity currencies as the oscillating outlook for the eurozone debt crisis and conflicting economic reports drove the markets.

Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund.  Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value, which are discussed in detail herein.

 
101


For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Brokerage Fees increased by $121,852 or 138.8%, Advisory Fees increased by $72,607 or 105.9% and Sponsor Fees increased by $36,304 or 105.9% in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These increases are all attributable to higher net assets of the portfolio resulting from subscriptions, partially offset by redemptions and a net loss for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $5,950 or -17.1%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 0.61% for the same period in 2010.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 Incentive Allocation decreased by $2,192, compared to zero for the corresponding period of 2010, related to shares redeemed when the portfolio was in a period of New High Net Trading Profits.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Systematic Strategies Portfolio experienced net trading losses of $1,514,749 attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture
  $ (162,511 )
Energy
    (304,947 )
Foreign exchange
    (328,749 )
Interest rates
    11,751  
Metals
    55,685  
Softs
    (43,712 )
Stock index
    (742,266 )
    $ (1,514,749 )

The equity sector generated losses for the period despite recognizing gains in the early part of the year amid rising equity prices driven by improved global economic output and improved investor optimism.  Significant losses, notably in European indices, were recognized in March as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan generated dramatic market reversals.  The equity sector also generated losses as advances early in the second quarter on encouraging earnings data and continued low interest rates fueled hope of a global economic recovery were reversed as prices declined in a sharp reduction of risk in various markets.  The foreign exchange sector generated losses during the period as the U.S. dollar abruptly reversed its declining trend early in the first quarter and strengthened following the release of favorable employment data.  These losses were slightly offset as trading for the remainder of the quarter generated modest gains notably in commodity currencies such as the Canadian and Australian dollars.  Gains were recognized in foreign exchange in the second quarter amid significant volatility in these as the U.S. dollar fell then rose sharply against European and commodity currencies as the oscillating outlook for the eurozone debt crisis and conflicting economic reports drove the markets which partially offset first quarter losses. The portfolio generated profits in the energy sector in the first quarter notably in crude and heating oil as continued tensions in the Middle East drove energy price higher.  These profits were offset by larger losses generated in the second quarter as prices reversed in the middle of the quarter and continued sharply downward in reaction to the announced release of strategic oil reserves in June. Losses were also recognized in the agriculture and softs sectors during the period.  The portfolio was able to post gains in the metals sector benefiting from the rising price of silver which rose on steep demand on tight supply levels during the first quarter which was mitigated by losses in the second quarter as prices reversed, notably in gold as investors unloaded safe haven assets in favor of risk assets.  The portfolio was able to generate profits in the interest rates sector led by gains in the U.S. fixed income markets in the second quarter as prices climbed amid the diminishing appetite for risk assets in the beginning of the quarter offset by losses as risk appetite returned later in the quarter resulting in lower prices.  The portfolio was able to post gains in the European fixed income markets despite the sharp market reversals at the end of the quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Brokerage Fees increased by $240,674 or 162.8%, Advisory Fees increased by $151,557 or 134.2% and Sponsor Fees increased by $75,779 or 134.2% in the Systematic Strategies Portfolio over the corresponding period of the preceding year.   These increases are all attributable to higher net assets of the portfolio resulting from subscriptions, partially offset by redemptions and a net loss for the period. During the same period interest income decreased by $4,866 or -8.3%.  Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 0.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 0.61% for the same period in 2010.

Variables Affecting Performance

The Fund’s performance is affected by net profitability resulting from the trading operations of the Master Funds, the fees charged by the Fund, and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents.   The Master Funds acquire and liquidate long and short positions in futures contracts, forwards contracts, spot currency contracts and associated derivative instruments such as options and swaps.  These instruments are carried at fair value, which is heavily influenced by a wide variety of factors including but not limited to, the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, and commodity prices as well as global macro political events.  These factors generate market movements affecting the fair value of these instruments and in turn the net gains and losses allocated from the Master Funds.

Brokerage, Advisory and Sponsor Fees are calculated based on a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value.  Changes in the net assets of the Fund resulting from subscriptions, redemptions, interest and trading profits allocated from the Master Funds can therefore have a material impact on the fee expense of the Fund.

A portion of the assets of the Fund is held in cash and cash equivalents.  Changes in the net assets of the Fund as well as changes in the interest rates earned on these investments can have a material impact on interest income earned.
 
 
103

 
 
(ii)
Liquidity
 
A portion of the Fund’s assets is generally held as cash or cash equivalents, which are used to margin the Fund’s investments.  It is expected that the average margin the Fund will be required to post to support the Fund’s trading may range between 10% and 30% of the Fund’s total assets, which will be segregated or secured by the futures brokers in accordance with the CEA and with CFTC regulations or be maintained on deposit with over-the-counter counterparties.  In exceptional market conditions, this amount could increase.  The Master Funds are subject to margin calls on a constant daily and intra-day basis, whether in connection with initiating new investment positions or as a result of changes in the value of current investment positions.  These margin requirements are met through the posting of additional margin with the applicable futures or OTC clearing broker.  The Manager generally expresses its margin requirements for the portfolios in terms of the aggregate of the margin requirements plus the net option premium costs for the underlying strategies as a percentage of net assets.  The following table shows these amounts as of the date indicated:

   
Blended Strategies
Portfolio
   
Systematic Strategies
Portfolio
 
June 30, 2012
  17.48%     15.51%  
December 31, 2011
  21.61%     18.83%  
June 30, 2011
  16.04%     11.18%  

Other than any potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, the Fund’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so.  Market-imposed limitations, when they occur, can be due to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures trading.  Through June 30, 2012, the Fund experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the markets traded by the Manager on behalf of the Fund.

 
(iii)
Capital Resources
 
The Fund raises additional capital through the sale of Units and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income.  The Fund may borrow money from brokers or their affiliates and other lenders. Units may be offered for sale as of the beginning, and may be redeemed as of the end, of each month.  The amount of capital raised for the Fund should not have a significant impact on its operations, as the Fund has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for monies to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and expenses.
 
The Fund participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements.  The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges.  Further, the Fund’s brokers may require margin in excess of minimum exchange requirements.  The Fund bears the risk of financial failure of the brokers through which it clears trades and maintains margin in respect of any such trades and of its counterparties for its foreign exchange and swap trades with whom it also maintains margin.

 
(iv) 
Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates – The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The preparation of the financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Fund’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 of the financial statements.
 
 
104


Fair Value Measurement - The Fund follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  The Fund reports the fair value of its investment-related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP.
 
The Fund records its investments in the GAIT Funds at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In determining its net asset value, each GAIT Fund records its investments in Master Funds at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The Fund records its proportionate share of the GAIT Funds’ investment income and loss, expenses, fees, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on a monthly basis.  Purchases and sales of units in the GAIT Funds are recorded on a trade date basis.  The accounting policies of the GAIT Funds are described in their attached respective financial statements.
 
The Master Funds record all their financial instruments at fair value, which is derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Unrealized gains and losses from these instruments are recorded based on changes in their fair value.  Realized gains and losses are recorded when the positions are closed.  All unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Master Funds’ statements of operations.
 
Cash Assets - The GAIT Funds invest a portion of their excess liquidity in Cash Assets, an entity for which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor.  The financial information of Cash Assets is included in the notes to the Financial Statements of the GAIT Funds.
 
Statement of Operations - As discussed under Item 1, the Fund offers Class 0 and Class 2 units of the Blended Strategies Portfolio and the Systematic Strategies Portfolio.  Class 0 and Class 2 units within each portfolio differ only with respect to their fees.  The Blended Strategies and Systematic Strategies Portfolios differ with respect to the underlying funds in which they invest. All items of gain, loss, income and expense of the Fund are specifically and directly allocated to each portfolio from the underlying Master Funds.  The Fund presents a combined statement of operations which encompasses the amounts applicable to the Blended and Systematic Strategies Portfolios.
 
Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made in the Fund’s financial statements, as each member is responsible for reporting income or loss based upon the member’s respective share of the Fund’s revenues and expenses for income tax purposes.
 
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements.  U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year.  The Manager has evaluated the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement or disclosure in the financial statements.  The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months.

There were no changes to the Fund’s internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund’s internal controls over financial reporting.
