Condensed Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Tribeca Global Investments L.P. (the “Master Fund”) is an exempted limited partnership under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The primary investment objective of the Master Fund is the appreciation of its assets through purchases and sales of domestic and foreign financial instruments utilizing various investment strategies. The Master Fund operates under a “Master-Feeder” structure whereby its limited partners are various Feeder Funds.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Master Fund.

Accounting

The Master Fund records its investment transactions and related revenues and expenses on a trade date basis.

Valuation

Quoted securities listed on a national securities exchange and that are freely transferable or traded over-the-counter (including derivative instruments) are marked to market at the close of the principal market for such securities or, if no such transaction reports are available, at the mean

between the last published dealer bid and ask quotations. All securities or other investments that are not quoted on any recognized exchange or over-the-counter market, or where in management’s reasonable opinion the published quote is considered unreliable or inappropriate, are valued at fair value by the Investment Manager using various methods, including: use of reasonable judgment based on average bid and offer prices based on quotations furnished by dealers or market makers; pricing models utilizing market inputs and volatility assumptions; and reference to the prices of underlying assets.

Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation for the investments described above, the estimate of fair value may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed, and the difference could be material.

Income and Expense Recognition

Purchases and sales of securities and financial instruments, and their related income and expense, are recorded on a trade-date basis with net trading gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations. Interest income and interest expense are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and dividend expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis as incurred. Premiums and discounts on debt investments are amortized based on criteria determined in good faith by the General Partner over the remaining lives of the respective securities using the interest method.

Income Taxes

The Master Fund is a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, there are no income, estate, transfer, sale or other taxes payable by the Master Fund. The Master Fund is taxed as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, and as such, is not subject to income taxes.

Investments Sold Short

The Master Fund engages in “short sales” as part of its investment activities. The Master Fund is required to return securities equivalent to those borrowed for the short sale at the lender’s demand. Pending the return of such securities, the Master Fund is required to deposit with the lender as collateral the proceeds of the short sale plus additional cash or securities. The amount of the required deposit is adjusted periodically to reflect any change in the market price of the securities that the Master Fund is required to return to the lender.

Withdrawals Payable

The Master Fund recognizes withdrawals as liabilities, when the amount is requested. As a result, withdrawals paid after the end of the year where the withdrawal request was received prior to year-end are reflected as due to withdrawing partners at November 30, 2006.

In addition, during the year the Master Fund made direct investments into Tribeca Global Convertible Investments Ltd., an existing fund managed by the General Partner.
