DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None PART I Item 1. Business. (a) General development of business. Smith Barney International Advisors Currency Fund L.P., (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on May 29, 1991 under the limited partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in speculative trading of commodity interests, including forward contracts, commodity options and commodity futures contracts on foreign currencies. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership commenced trading operations on March 12, 1992. A total of 10,000,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest in the Partnership ("Units") were offered to the public. A Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering became effective on September 30, 1991. Between September 30, 1991 and February 27, 1992, 1,109,024 Units were sold to the public at $10 per Unit. Proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account and were transferred, along with the general partner's contribution of $143,760, to the Partnership's trading account on March 12, 1992 when the Partnership commenced trading. Redemptions of Units for the years ending December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are reported in the Statement of Partners' Capital on page F-6 under "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." 2 The general partner has agreed to make additional capital contributions, if necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater of (i) an amount to entitle it to 1% of each material item of Partnership income, loss, deduction or credit or (ii) the greater of (a) 1% of the Partners' contributions to the Partnership or (b) $25,000. The Partnership will be liquidated on December 31, 2011; if the net asset value per Unit falls below $4 as of the end of a trading day; or upon the earlier occurrence of certain other circumstances set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Smith Barney Futures Management LLC acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. The Partnership's commodity broker is Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). SSB is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBHI"), which is the sole owner of SSB. SSBHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. The Partnership's trading of futures, forwards and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done on United States of America and foreign commodity exchanges. It engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with SSB. As of December 31, 2000, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into a Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Jacobson Fund Managers Ltd. the "Advisor" who makes all commodity trading decisions for the Partnership. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or SSB. The Advisor is not responsible for 3 the organization or operation of the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor an incentive fee payable quarterly of 20% of New Trading Profits (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) of the Partnership. The Customer Agreement (the "Customer Agreement") provides that the Partnership pays SSB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 7/12 of 1% of month-end Net Assets (7% per year) in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. From its brokerage fee, SSB pays the Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of Net Assets allocated to the Advisor as of the end of the month. SSB also pays a portion of its brokerage fees to its financial consultants who have sold Units and who are registered as associated persons with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). The Partnership pays for National Futures Association ("NFA") fees, exchange and clearing fees, give-up and user fees and floor brokerage fees. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SSB gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. In addition, SSB pays the Partnership interest on 85% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at the rate equal to the average noncompetitive yield of 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills as determined at the weekly auctions thereof during the month. 4 (b) Financial information about industry segments. The Partnership's business consists of only one segment, speculative trading of commodity interests. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. The Partnership's net income (loss) from operations for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 are set forth under "Item 6. Selected Financial Data." The Partnership capital as of December 31, 2000 was $1,645,337. (c) Narrative description of business. See Paragraphs (a) and (b) above. (i) through (x) - Not applicable. (xi) through (xii) - Not applicable. (xiii) - The Partnership has no employees. (d) Financial Information About Geographic Areas. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services or own any long lived assets and therefore this item is not applicable. Item 2. Properties. The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The General Partner operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, SSB. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Salomon Smith Barney Inc, ("SSB") is a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388 Greenwich St., New York, New York 10013. SSB is registered as a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM"), and provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional and retail participants in the futures markets. SSB and its affiliates also provide investment banking and other financial services for clients worldwide. 5 There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions pending, on appeal or concluded against SSB or any of its individual principals within the past five years that management believes may have a material impact on SSB's ability to act as an FCM. In the ordinary course of its business, SSB is a party to various claims and regulatory inquiries. Proceedings deemed to be material for purposes of CFTC disclosure requirements are: In September 1992, Harris Trust and Savings Bank (as trustee for Ameritech Pension Trust), Ameritech Corporation, and an officer of Ameritech sued Salomon Brothers Inc and Salomon Brothers Realty Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Harris Trust Savings Bank, not individually but solely as trustee for the Ameritech Pension Trust, Ameritech Corporation and John A. Edwardson v. Salomon Brothers Inc and Salomon Brothers Realty Corp.). The complaint alleged that purchases by Ameritech Pension Trust from the Salomon entities of approximately $20.9 million in participations in a portfolio of motels owned by Motels of America, Inc. and Best Inns, Inc. violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act ('RICO") and state law. Salomon Brothers Inc had acquired the participations issued by Motels of America and Best Inns to finance purchases of motel portfolios and sold 95% of three such issues and 100% of one such issue to Ameritech Pension Trust. Ameritech Pension Trust's complaint sought (1) approximately $20.9 million on the ERISA claim, and (2) in excess of $70 million on the RICO and state law 6 claims as well as other relief. In various decisions between August 1993 and July 1999, the courts hearing the case have dismissed all of the allegations in the complaint against the Salomon entities. In October 1999, Ameritech appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and in January 2000, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. An argument was heard on April 17, 2000. The appeal seeks review of the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit that dismissed the sole remaining ERISA claim against the Salomon entities. In June the Supreme Court reversed the Seventh Circuit and the matter has been remanded to the Trial Courts. Both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service have advised Salomon Brothers Inc that they were or are reviewing the transactions in which Ameritech Pension Trust acquired such participations. With respect to the Internal Revenue Service review, Salomon Smith Barney Holdings, Salomon Brothers Inc and Salomon Brothers Realty have consented to extensions of time for the assessment of excise taxes that may be claimed to be due with respect to the transactions for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989. In December 1996, a complaint seeking unspecified monetary damages was filed by Orange County, California against numerous brokerage firms, including Salomon Smith Barney, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. (County of Orange et aL v. Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. et al.) The complaint alleged, among other things, that the brokerage firms recommended and sold unsuitable securities to Orange County. Salomon Smith Barney and the remaining brokerage firms settled with Orange County in mid 1999. 7 In June 1998, complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in two actions (Board of Liquidations, City Debt of the City of New Orleans v. Smith Barney Inc, et ano. and The City of New Orleans v. Smith Barney Inc. et ano.), in which the City of New Orleans seeks a determination that Smith Barney Inc. and another underwriter will be responsible for any damages that the City may incur in the event the Internal Revenue Service denies tax exempt status to the City's General Obligation Refunding Bonds Series 1991. The complaints were subsequently amended. Salomon Smith Barney has asked the court to dismiss the amended complaints. The Court denied the motion but stayed the case. Subsequently, the city withdrew its lawsuit. It November 1998, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Dwight Brock as Clerk for Collier County v. Merrill Lynch, et al.). The complaint alleged that, pursuant to a nationwide conspiracy, 17 broker-dealer defendants, including Salomon Smith Barney, charged excessive mark-ups in connection with advanced refunding transactions. Among other relief, plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages, restitution and/or rescission of the transactions and disgorgement of alleged excessive profits. In October 1999, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. Salomon Smith Barney has asked the court to dismiss the amended complaint. In connection with the Louisiana and Florida matters, the IRS and SEC have been conducting an industry-wide investigation into the pricing of 8 Treasury securities in advanced refunding transactions. In April 2000 SSB and several other broker-dealers entered into a settlement with the IRS and the SEC. In December 1998, Salomon Smith Barney was one of twenty-eight market making firms that reached a settlement with the SEC in the matter titled In the Matter of Certain Market Making Activities on NASDAQ. As part of the settlement of that matter, Salomon Smith Barney, without admitting or denying the factual allegations, agreed to an order that required that it: (i) cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Sections 15(c)(1) and (2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules l5cl -2, 15c2-7 and 17a-3 thereunder, (ii) pay penalties totaling approximately $760,000, and (iii) submit certain policies and procedures to an independent consultant for review. In March 1999, a complaint seeking in excess of $250 million was filed by a hedge fund and its investment advisor against Salomon Smith Barney in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (MKP Master Fund, LDC et al. v. Salomon Smith Barney Inc.). The complaint included allegations that, while acting as prime broker for the hedge fund, Salomon Smith Barney breached its contracts with plaintiffs, misused their monies, and engaged in tortious (wrongful) conduct, including breaching its fiduciary duties. Salomon Smith Barney asked the court to dismiss the complaint in full. In October 1999, the court dismissed the tort claims, including the breach of fiduciary duty claims. The court allowed the breach of contract and misuse of money claims to stand, Salomon Smith Barney will continue to contest this lawsuit vigorously. 9 Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. There were no matters submitted to the security holders for a vote during the fiscal year covered by this report. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder Matters. (a) Market Information. The Partnership has issued no stock. There is no established public trading market for the Units of Limited Partnership Interest. (b) Holders. The number of holders of Units of Partnership Interest as of December 31, 2000 was 87. (c) Distribution. The Partnership did not declare a distribution in 2000 or 1999. (d) Use of Proceeds. There were no additional sales in the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. 10 Item 6. Selected Financial Data. Realized and unrealized trading gains (losses), interest income, net income (loss) and increase (decrease) in net asset value per Unit for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and total assets at December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:
2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ----------- ----------- ---------- --------- -------- Realized and unrealized trading gains(losses) net of brokerage commissions and clearing fees of $144,266, $220,519, $243,077, $237,265 and $263,649, respectively $(597,541) $(367,668) $(35,118) $590,534 $712,497 Interest income 102,699 128,795 134,578 141,341 150,381 ----------- ---------- ---------- -------- -------- $(494,842) $(238,873) $ 99,460 $731,875 $862,878 =========== ========== ========== ======== ======== Net income (loss) $(511,793) $(322,133) $23,296 $556,770 $715,392 =========== ========== ========== ======== ======== Increase (decrease) in net asset value per Unit $(2.58) $(1.45) $ 0.04 $ 2.11 $ 2.11 ======== ======= ======= ======= ====== Total assets $1,724,620 $2,698,678 $3,211,970 $3,617,429 $3,504,725 ============ ========== =========== ========== ==========
11 38 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (a)Liquidity. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its only assets are its commodity futures trading account, consisting of cash, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open positions and interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. Such substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity. To minimize this risk, the Partnership follows certain policies including: (1) Partnership funds are invested only in commodity interests which are traded in sufficient volume to permit, in the opinion of the Advisor, ease of taking and liquidating positions. (2) The Advisor does not initiates additional positions in any commodity if such additional positions would result in aggregate positions for all commodities requiring as margin more than 66-2/3% of the Partnership's assets allocated to the Advisor. For the purpose of this limitation, forward contracts in currencies are deemed to have the same margin requirements as the same or similar futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. (3) The Partnership does not employ the trading technique commonly known as "pyramiding," in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of additional positions in the same or related commodities. 12 (4) The Partnership does not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities, provided that neither the deposit of margin with a commodity broker nor obtaining and drawing a line of credit with respect to forward contracts shall constitute borrowing. (5) The Advisor may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. The term "spread" or "straddle" describes a commodity futures trading strategy involving the simultaneous buying and selling of futures contracts on the same commodity but involving different delivery dates or markets and in which the trader expects to earn a profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference between the prices of the two contracts. The Partnership engages in the trading of forward contracts in foreign currencies. In this connection, the Partnership contracts with SSB as the counterparty to take future delivery of a particular foreign currency. In a forward transaction, cash settlement does not occur until the agreed upon value date of the transaction. The Partnership's credit risk in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The fair value of over the counter forward currency contracts at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $0 and $(854), respectively. The Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity 13 instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose value is based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified terms at specified future dates. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject. (See also "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." for further information on financial instrument risk included in the notes to financial statements.) Other than the risks inherent in commodity trading, the Partnership knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which will result in or which are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will cease trading operations and liquidate all open positions upon the first to occur of the following: (i) December 31, 2011; (ii) the vote to dissolve the Partnership by limited partners owning more than 50% of the Units; (iii) assignment by the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership or withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any 14 other event that causes the General Partner to cease to be a general partner under the Partnership Act unless the Partnership is continued as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement; or (iv) the occurrence of any event which shall make it unlawful for the existing Partnership to be continued. The General Partner may, in its discretion, dissolve the Partnership if the net asset value per Unit falls below $4 as of the end of any business day after trading. (b) Capital resources. (i) The Partnership has made no material commitments for capital expenditures. (ii) The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on commodity trading cannot be predicted. Market moves in commodities are dependent upon fundamental and technical factors which the Partnership may or may not be able to identify. Partnership expenses will consist of, among other things, commissions, management fees and incentive fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon the level of trading gains or losses and the ability of the Advisor to identify and take advantage of price movements in the commodity markets, in addition to the level of Net Assets maintained. In addition, the amount of interest income payable by SSB is dependent upon interest rates over which the Partnership has no control. 15 No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given period. A limited partner may redeem all or some of his Units at their net asset value on fifteen days notice to the General Partner. For the year ended December 31, 2000, 44,771.2560 Units were redeemed totaling $475,711. For the year ended December 31, 1999, 16,039.8885 Units were redeemed totaling $211,018. For the year ended December 31, 1998, 23,888.7779 Units were redeemed totaling $338,656. (c) Results of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Net Asset Value per Unit decreased 21.3% from $12.11 to $9.53. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Net Asset Value per Unit decreased 10.7% from $13.56 to $12.11. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Net Asset Value per Unit increased 0.3% from $13.52 to $13.56. The Partnership experienced net trading losses of $453,275 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading in British Pounds, Japanese Yen, Euro, Singapore Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Danish Krone, Hong Kong Dollar, Brazilian Real, Indonesian Rupia and South African Rand and were partially offset by gains recognized in Swiss Francs and Greek Drachma. The Partnership experienced net trading losses of $147,149 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading of British Pounds, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Danish Krone, Swedish Krona, Mexican Peso, Saudi Riyal and Hong Kong Dollar and partially offset by gains in Brazilian Real, Czech Koruna and Swiss Francs. 16 The Partnership experienced net trading gains of $207,959 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998. Gains were attributable to the trading of Canadian Dollar, Mexican Peso, Thai Baht, Indonesian Rupia and Malaysian Ringgit and partially offset by losses in British Pounds, Brazilian Real and Russian Ruble. Commodity markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to identify those price trends correctly. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, governmental, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations. (d) Operational Risk The Partnership is directly exposed to market risk and credit risk, which arise in the normal course of its business activities. Slightly less direct, but of critical importance, are risks pertaining to operational and back office support. This is particularly the case in a rapidly changing and increasingly global environment with increasing transaction volumes and an expansion in the number and complexity of products in the marketplace. 17 Such risks include: Operational/Settlement Risk - the risk of financial and opportunity loss and legal liability attributable to operational problems, such as inaccurate pricing of transactions, untimely trade execution, clearance and/or settlement, or the inability to process large volumes of transactions. The Partnership is subject to increased risks with respect to its trading activities in emerging market securities, where clearance, settlement, and custodial risks are often greater than in more established markets. Technological Risk - the risk of loss attributable to technological limitations or hardware failure that constrain the Partnership's ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers, among units within the Partnership, and in the markets where the Partnership participates. Legal/Documentation Risk - the risk of loss attributable to deficiencies in the documentation of transactions (such as trade confirmations) and customer relationships (such as master netting agreements) or errors that result in noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Financial Control Risk - the risk of loss attributable to limitations in financial systems and controls. Strong financial systems and controls ensure that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization, and that financial information utilized by management and communicated to external parties, including the Partnership's unitholder, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors. 18 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Introduction The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership's main line of business. Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Partnership's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification results among the Partnership's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades. The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results. Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading and the recurrence 19 in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership's experience to date (i.e., "risk of ruin"). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership's losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership's attempts to manage its market risk. Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor except for statements of historical fact (such as the terms of particular contracts and the number of market risk sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period). The Partnership's risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Advisors is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership's mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the 20 Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership's earnings (realized or unrealized) and cash flow (at least in the case of exchange-traded contracts in which profits and losses on open positions are settled daily through variation margin). Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of any one-day intervals. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to Value at Risk. In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not exchange traded (exclusively currencies in the case of the Partnership), the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as Value at Risk. In those rare cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers' margins have been used. The fair value of the Partnership's futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, certain of the Advisors trade commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the following 21 table as the margin requirement attributable to the instrument underlying each option. Where this instrument is a futures contract, the futures margin, and where this instrument is a physical commodity, the futures-equivalent maintenance margin has been used. This calculation is conservative in that it assumes that the fair value of an option will decline by the same amount as the fair value of the underlying instrument, whereas, in fact, the fair values of the options traded by the Partnership in almost all cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments. In quantifying the Partnership's Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been added to determine each trading category's aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Partnership's positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected. 22 The Partnership's Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership's open positions by market category as of December 31, 2000.

24 Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value) as many times well as the capitalization of the Partnership. The magnitude of the Partnership's open positions creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions -- unusual, but historically recurring from time to time -- could cause the Partnership to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table -- as well as the past performance of the Partnership -- give no indication of this "risk of ruin." Non-Trading Risk The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial. Materiality as used in this section, "Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk," is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market sensitive instruments. 25 Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's market risk exposures - except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures - constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership's primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner and the Advisor for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership's risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the management strategies of the Partnership. There can be no assurance that the Partnership's current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long- term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership. 26 The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2000, by market sector. Currencies. The Partnership's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Partnership trades in a large number of currencies. The General Partner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership's currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the dollar-based Partnership in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than dollars. Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject. The General Partner monitors the Partnership's performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisor concerning the Partnership's overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner could require of the Advisor to close out 27 individual positions as well as enter certain positions traded on behalf of the Partnership. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The General Partner primarily relies on the Advisors' own risk control policies while maintaining a general supervisory overview of the Partnership's market risk exposures. The Advisor applies its own risk management policies to its trading. The Advisor often follow diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisors' research of risk management often suggests ongoing modifications to its' trading programs. As part of the General Partner's risk management, the General Partner periodically meets with the Advisor to discuss its risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisor's portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisor is required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to its programs. 28 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

See notes to financial statements. F-6 Smith Barney International Advisors Currency Fund L.P. Notes to Financial Statements 1. Partnership Organization: Smith Barney International Advisors Currency Fund L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized on May 29, 1991 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership was authorized to sell 10,000,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units") during its initial offering period. Smith Barney Futures Management LLC acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. The Partnership's commodity broker is Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). SSB is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBHI"), which is the sole owner of SSB. SSBHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. The General Partner and each limited partner share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of Partnership interest owned by each, except that no limited partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of his initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions. The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2011; the Net Asset Value per unit falls below $4 as of the end of a trading day; or under certain other circumstances set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement. 2. Accounting Policies: a. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded in the statement of financial condition at fair value on the last business day of the year, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the year. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on commodity interests and foreign currencies are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in net gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests. b. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on his share of the Partnership's income and expenses. c. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F-7 3. Agreements: a. Limited Partnership Agreement: The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner shall manage the business of the Partnership and may make all trading decisions for the Partnership. b. Management Agreements: The Trading Manager, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into a Management Agreement with Jacobson Fund Managers Ltd. (the "Advisor"), a registered commodity trading advisor. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor by the Trading Manager. The Partnership is obligated to pay the Advisor an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreement, earned by it for the Partnership. Trendview Capital Management Inc. and Friedberg Commodity Management Inc. were terminated as Advisors to the Partnership on February 29, 2000 and April 1, 2000, respectively. Jacobson Fund Managers Ltd. was added as an Advisor to the Partnership effective April 1, 2000. c. Customer Agreement: The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement which was assigned to SSB which provides that the Partnership will pay SSB a monthly brokerage fee equal to 7/12 of 1% of month-end Net Assets (7% per year) in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. From its brokerage fee SSB will pay each Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of Net Assets allocated to the Advisor as of the end of the month. The Partnership will pay for National Futures Association ("NFA") fees, exchange and clearing fees, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees. SSB will pay a portion of its brokerage fees to the financial consultants who have sold Units. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. All the Partnership's assets are deposited in the Partnership's account at SSB. The Partnership's cash is deposited by SSB in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $0 and $240,618, respectively. SSB has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 85% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at the rate of the average noncompetitive yield of 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills as determined at the weekly auctions thereof during the month. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SSB gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party. F-8 4. Trading Activities: The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Partnership's trading activity are shown in the statement of income and expenses. All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The average fair value during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, based on a monthly calculation, was $(12,094) and $86,012, respectively. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options thereon, if applicable, at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $0 and $(854), respectively, as detailed below. Fair Value December 31, December 31, 2000 1999 Currencies: -OTC Contracts $ -- $(854) ------ ----- 5. Distributions and Redemptions: Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the General Partner. A limited partner may redeem all or part of his Units at their Net Asset Value by written or oral request to the General Partner at least 15 days prior to the redemption date. No redemption may result in the limited partner holding fewer than 300 Units after such redemption is effected. 6. Reinvestment: A limited partner may elect automatically to reinvest the amount of his annual distribution, if any, in additional Units and fractional Units at their Net Asset Value as of the day on which the distribution is declared. This election may be made at the time of subscription and is contingent upon the availability of Units during the Continuous Offering. If a limited partner elects to reinvest and no Units are available as of a distribution date, the limited partner's SSB account will be credited with the amount of the distribution. F-9 7. Net Asset Value Per Unit: Changes in the net asset value per Unit of Partnership interest for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows: 2000 1999 1998 Net realized and unrealized losses $ (3.03) $ (1.66) $ (0.20) Interest income 0.54 0.58 0.56 Expenses (0.09) (0.37) (0.32) ------ ------ ------ Increase (decrease) for year (2.58) (1.45) 0.04 Net asset value per Unit, beginning of year 12.11 13.56 13.52 ------ ------ ------ Net asset value per Unit, end of year $ 9.53 $ 12.11 $ 13.56 ------ ------ ------ 8. Financial Instrument Risks: The Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose value is based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter ("OTC"). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions (see table in Note 4). The Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership's assets is SSB. F-10 The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk-adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. 9. Subsequent Event: There were additional redemptions as of January 31, 2001 representing 1,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $9,020. Jacobson Fund Managers Ltd. was terminated as an Advisor to the Partnership on February 19, 2001. It is the General Partner's intent to add a new Advisor to the Partnership. F-11 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. During the last two fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, no independent accountant who was engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Partnership's financial statements has resigned or was dismissed. PART III Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant. The Partnership has no officers or directors and its affairs are managed by its General Partner, Smith Barney Futures Management LLC. Investment decisions are made by the Advisor. Item 11. Executive Compensation. The Partnership has no directors or officers. Its affairs are managed by Smith Barney Futures Management LLC, its General Partner, which receives compensation for its services, as set forth under "Item 1. Business." SSB, an affiliate of the General Partner, is the commodity broker for the Partnership and receives brokerage commissions for such services, as described under "Item 1. Business." During the year ended December 31, 2000, SSB earned $144,266 in brokerage commissions and clearing fees. The Advisors did not earn an incentive fee in 2000. 29 Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management. (a). Security ownership of certain beneficial owners. As of March 1, 2001, two beneficial owners who are neither directors nor executive officers of the General Partner beneficially owns more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Units issued by the Registrant as follows: Title Name and Address of Amount and Nature of Percent of of Class Beneficial Owner Beneficial Ownership Class Units of Evelyn A. Freed 45,083.6120 Units 26.1% Limited 1511 Clearview Lane Partnership Santa Ana, CA 92705-1501 Interest Units of Helen M. Adams and 12,462.9751 Units 7.2% Limited John C. Russ Jtwros. Partnership 1301 Onslow Road Interest Raleigh, NC 27606-2744 (b). Security ownership of management. Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership's affairs are managed by the General Partner. The General Partner owns Units of general partnership interest equivalent to 8,000.2096 Units (4.6%) of Limited Partnership Interest as of December 31, 2000. (c). Changes in control. None. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Smith Barney Futures Management LLC would be considered promoters for purposes of item 404(d) of Regulation S-K. The nature and the amounts of compensation each promoter will receive from the Partnership are set forth under "Item 1. Business.", "Item 8.

Dear Dan: Please liquidate all of your positions in the above referenced fund in an orderly fashion beginning immediately. This will effectively terminate your management agreement with the fund.

Dantuono Chief Financial Officer & Director DAD/sr EX-99 5 0005.txt MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT ing policies may be changed from time to time upon receipt by the Advisor of prior written notice of such change and pursuant to the trading strategy selected by SBFM to be utilized by the Advisor in managing the Partnership's assets. SBFM has initially selected the Advisor's Jacobson Currency Program to manage the Partnership's assets allocated to it. Any open positions or other investments at the time of receipt of such notice of a change in trading policy shall not be deemed to violate the changed policy and shall be closed or sold in the ordinary course of trading. The Advisor may not deviate from the trading policies set forth in the Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Partnership given by SBFM. The Advisor makes no representation or warranty that the trading to be directed by it for the Partnership will be profitable or will not incur losses. (a)(b) SBFM acknowledges receipt of the Advisor's Disclosure Document dated December 31, 1999 as filed with the NFA and the CFTC (the "Disclosure Document"). All trades made by the Advisor for the account of the Partnership shall be made through such commodity broker or brokers as SBFM shall direct, and the Advisor shall have no authority or responsibility for selecting or supervising any such broker in connection with the execution, clearance or confirmation of transactions for the Partnership or for the negotiation of brokerage rates charged therefor. However, the Advisor, with the prior written permission (by either original or fax copy) of SBFM, may direct all trades in commodity futures and options to a futures commission merchant or independent floor broker it chooses for execution with instructions to give-up the trades to the broker designated by SBFM, provided that the futures commission merchant or independent floor broker and any give-up or floor brokerage fees are approved in advance by SBFM. All give-up or similar fees relating to the foregoing shall be paid by the Partnership after all parties have executed the relevant give-up agreements (by either original or fax copy). (c) The initial allocation of the Partnership's assets to the Advisor will be made to the Advisor's Jacobson Currency Program, 2.5 times leverage (the "Program"). In the event the Advisor wishes to use a trading system or methodology other than or in addition to the Program as outlined in the Disclosure Document in connection with its trading for the Partnership, either in whole or in part, it may not do so unless the Advisor gives SBFM prior written notice of its intention to utilize such different trading system or methodology and SBFM consents thereto in writing. In addition, the Advisor will provide five days' prior written notice to SBFM of any change in the trading system or methodology to be utilized for the Partnership that the Advisor deems material. If the Advisor deems such change in system or methodology or in markets traded to be material, the changed system or methodology or markets traded will not be utilized for the Partnership without the prior written consent of SBFM. In addition, the Advisor will notify SBFM of any changes to the trading system or methodology that would require a change in the description of the trading strategy or methods described in the Disclosure Document. Further, the Advisor will provide the Partnership with a current list of all commodity interests to be traded for the Partnership's account and will not trade any additional commodity interests for such account without providing notice thereof to SBFM and receiving SBFM's written approval. The Advisor also agrees to provide SBFM, on a monthly basis, with a written report of the assets under the Advisor's management together with all other matters deemed by the Advisor to be material changes to its business not previously reported to SBFM. The Advisor further agrees that it will convert foreign currency balances (not required to margin positions denominated in a foreign currency) to U.S. dollars no less frequently than monthly. U.S. dollar equivalents in individual foreign currencies of more than $100,000 will be converted to U.S. dollars within one business day after such funds are no longer needed to margin foreign positions. (d) The Advisor agrees to make all material disclosures to the Partnership regarding itself and its principals as defined in Part 4 of the CFTC's regulations ("principals"), shareholders, directors, officers and employees, their trading performance and general trading methods, its customer accounts (but not the identities of or other identifying information with respect to its customers) and otherwise as are required in the reasonable judgment of SBFM to be made in any filings required by Federal or state law or NFA rule or order. Notwithstanding Sections 1(d) and 4(d) of this Agreement, the Advisor is not required to disclose the actual trading results of proprietary accounts of the Advisor or its principals unless SBFM reasonably determines that such disclosure is required in order to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership or the reporting, filing or other obligations imposed on it by Federal or state law or NFA rule or order. The Partnership and SBFM acknowledge that the trading advice to be provided by the Advisor is a property right belonging to the Advisor and that they will keep all such advice confidential. Further, SBFM agrees to treat as confidential any results of proprietary accounts and/or proprietary information with respect to trading systems obtained from the Advisor. (e) The Advisor understands and agrees that SBFM may designate other trading advisors for the Partnership and apportion or reapportion to such other trading advisors the management of an amount of Net Assets (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof) as it shall determine in its absolute discretion. The designation of other trading advisors and the apportionment or reapportionment of Net Assets to any such trading advisors pursuant to this Section 1 shall neither terminate this Agreement nor modify in any regard the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder. (f) SBFM may, from time to time, in its absolute discretion, select additional trading advisors and reapportion funds among the trading advisors for the Partnership as it deems appropriate. SBFM shall use its best efforts to make reapportionments, if any, as of the first day of a month. The Advisor agrees that it may be called upon at any time promptly to liquidate positions in SBFM's sole discretion so that SBFM may reallocate the Partnership's assets, meet margin calls on the Partnership's account, fund redemptions, or for any other reason, except that SBFM will not require the liquidation of specific positions by the Advisor. SBFM will use its best efforts to give two days' prior notice to the Advisor of any reallocations or liquidations. (g) The Advisor will not be liable for trading losses in the Partnership's account including losses caused by errors; provided, however, that (i) the Advisor will be liable to the Partnership with respect to losses incurred due to errors committed or caused by it or any of its principals or employees in communicating improper trading instructions or orders to any broker on behalf of the Partnership and (ii) the Advisor will be liable to the Partnership with respect to losses incurred due to errors committed or caused by any executing broker (other than any SBFM affiliate) selected by the Advisor, (it also being understood that SBFM, with the assistance of the Advisor, will first attempt to recover such losses from the executing broker). 2. INDEPENDENCE OF THE ADVISOR. For all purposes herein, the Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Partnership in any way and shall not be deemed an agent, promoter or sponsor of the Partnership, SBFM, or any other trading advisor. The Advisor shall not be responsible to the Partnership, the General Partner, any trading advisor or any limited partners for any acts or omissions of any other trading advisor no longer acting as an advisor to the Partnership. 3. COMPENSATION. (a) In consideration of and as compensation for all of the services to be rendered by the Advisor to the Partnership under this Agreement, the Partnership shall pay the Advisor an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits (as such term is defined below) earned by the Advisor for the Partnership. From the brokerage fee it receives from the Partnership, SBFM will pay the Advisor a monthly fee for professional management services equal to 1/6 of 1% of the Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor as of the end of each month (2% per year). (a)(b) "Net Assets" shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 7(d)(1) of the Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of May 29, 1991 and without regard to amendments thereto, provided that in determining the Net Assets of the Partnership on any date, no adjustment shall be made to reflect any distributions, redemptions or incentive fees payable as of the date of such determination. (c) "New Trading Profits" shall mean the excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest previous fiscal period or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor at the date trading commences, whichever is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the effect on Net Assets resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions, reallocations or capital distributions, if any, made during the fiscal period decreased by interest or other income, not directly related to trading activity, earned on the Partnership's assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets are held separately or in margin accounts. Ongoing expenses will be attributed to the Advisor based on the Advisor's proportionate share of Net Assets. Ongoing expenses will not include expenses of litigation not involving the activities of the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership. Ongoing expenses include offering and organizational expenses of the Partnership. No incentive fee shall be paid until the end of the first calendar quarter of trading, which fee shall be based on New Trading Profits earned from the commencement of trading by the Advisor for the Partnership through the end of the first calendar quarter. Interest income earned, if any, will not be taken into account in computing New Trading Profits earned by the Advisor. If Net Assets allocated to the Advisor are reduced due to redemptions, distributions or reallocations (net of additions), there will be a corresponding proportional reduction in the related loss carryforward amount that must be recouped before the Advisor is eligible to receive another incentive fee. (d) Quarterly incentive fees and monthly management fees shall be paid within twenty (20) business days following the end of the period, as the case may be, for which such fee is payable. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as of any date which shall not be the end of a month or a fiscal quarter, the quarterly incentive fee shall be computed as if the effective date of termination were the last day of the then current quarter and the monthly management fee shall be prorated to the effective date of termination. If, during any month, the Partnership does not conduct business operations or the Advisor is unable to provide the services contemplated herein for more than two successive business days, the monthly management fee shall be prorated by the ratio which the number of business days during which SBFM conducted the Partnership's business operations or utilized the Advisor's services bears to the total number of business days in the month; it being acknowledged that under the Advisor's trading strategies, there may be periods when no open positions will be maintained for the Partnership. No incentive fee shall be paid to the Advisor until the end of the first full calendar quarter of the Advisor's trading for the Partnership, which incentive fee shall be based on New Trading Profits (if any) from the commencement of trading for the Partnership by the Advisor through the end of the first full calendar quarter. (e) The provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 4. RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN OTHER ACTIVITIES. (a) The services provided by the Advisor hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive. SBFM on its own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Advisor and its principals, officers, directors, employees, shareholder(s) and affiliates, may render advisory, consulting and management services to other clients and accounts. The Advisor and its principals, officers, directors, employees, shareholder(s) and affiliates shall be free to trade for their own accounts and to advise other investors and manage other commodity accounts during the term of this Agreement and to use the same information, computer programs and trading strategies, programs or formulas which they obtain, produce or utilize in the performance of services to SBFM for the Partnership. However, the Advisor represents, warrants and agrees that it believes the rendering of such consulting, advisory and management services to other accounts and entities will not require any material change in the Advisor's basic trading strategies and will not affect the capacity of the Advisor to continue to render services to SBFM for the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by this Agreement. (a)(b) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Advisor is required to aggregate the Partnership's commodity positions with the positions of any other person for purposes of applying CFTC- or exchange-imposed speculative position limits, the Advisor agrees that it will promptly notify SBFM if the Partnership's positions are included in an aggregate amount which exceeds the applicable speculative position limit. The Advisor agrees that, if its trading recommendations are altered because of the application of any speculative position limits, it will not modify the trading instructions with respect to the Partnership's account in such manner as to affect the Partnership substantially disproportionately as compared with the Advisor's other accounts. The Advisor further represents, warrants and agrees that under no circumstances will it knowingly or deliberately use trading strategies or methods for the Partnership that are inferior to strategies or methods employed for any other client or account and that it will not knowingly or deliberately favor any client or account managed by it over any other client or account in any manner, it being acknowledged, however, that different trading strategies or methods may be utilized for differing sizes of accounts, accounts with different trading policies, accounts experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity, accounts which commence trading at different times, accounts which have different portfolios or different fiscal years, accounts utilizing different executing brokers and accounts with other differences, and that such differences may cause divergent trading results. (c) It is acknowledged that the Advisor and/or its principals, officers, employees, directors, shareholder(s) and affiliates presently act, and it is agreed that they may continue to act, as advisor for other accounts managed by them, and may continue to receive compensation with respect to services for such accounts in amounts which may be more or less than the amounts received from the Partnership. (d) The Advisor agrees that it shall make such information available to SBFM respecting the performance of the Partnership's account as compared to the performance of other accounts managed by the Advisor or its principals as shall be reasonably requested by SBFM. The Advisor presently believes and represents that existing speculative position limits will not materially adversely affect its ability to manage the Partnership's account given the potential size of the Partnership's account and the Advisor's and its principals' current accounts and all proposed accounts for which they have contracted to act as trading manager. 5. TERM. (a) This Agreement shall continue in effect until June 30, 2000. SBFM may, in its sole discretion, renew this Agreement for additional one-year periods upon notice to the Advisor not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the previous period. At any time during the term of this Agreement, SBFM may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement upon 30 days' notice to the Advisor if (i) the Net Asset Value per Unit shall decline as of the close of business on any day to $400 or less; (ii) the Net Assets allocated to the Advisor (adjusted for redemptions, distributions, withdrawals or reallocations, if any) decline by 50% or more as of the end of a trading day from such Net Assets' previous highest value; (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of the outstanding Units shall vote to require SBFM to terminate this Agreement; (iv) the Advisor fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement; (v) SBFM, in good faith, reasonably determines that the performance of the Advisor has been such that SBFM's fiduciary duties to the Partnership require SBFM to terminate this Agreement; or (vi) SBFM reasonably believes that the application of speculative position limits will substantially affect the performance of the Partnership. At any time during the term of this Agreement, SBFM may elect immediately to terminate this Agreement if (i) the Advisor merges, consolidates with another entity, sells a substantial portion of its assets, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) Henry G. Green dies, becomes incapacitated, leaves the employ of the Advisor, ceases to control the Advisor or is otherwise not managing the trading programs or systems of the Advisor, or (iii) the Advisor's registration as a commodity trading advisor with the CFTC or its membership in the NFA or any other regulatory authority is terminated or suspended. This Agreement will immediately terminate upon dissolution of the Partnership or upon cessation of trading prior to dissolution. (a)(b) The Advisor may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than 30 days' notice to SBFM (i) in the event that the trading policies of the Partnership as set forth in the Prospectus are changed in such manner that the Advisor reasonably believes will adversely affect the performance of its trading strategies, (ii) after June 30, 2000, or (iii) in the event that SBFM or the Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Advisor may immediately terminate this Agreement if SBFM's registration as a commodity pool operator or its membership in the NFA is terminated or suspended. (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Paragraph 5 or Paragraph 1(e) shall be without penalty or liability to any party, except for any fees due to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a)(i) In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding to which the Advisor was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the management of the Partnership's assets by the Advisor or the offering and sale of units in the Partnership, SBFM shall, subject to subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Paragraph 6, indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor against any loss, liability, damage, cost, expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if the Advisor acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership, and provided that its conduct did not constitute negligence, intentional misconduct, or a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership as a commodity trading advisor, unless and only to the extent that the court or administrative forum in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the Advisor is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court or administrative forum shall deem proper; and further provided that no indemnification shall be available from the Partnership if such indemnification is prohibited by Section 16 of the Limited Partnership Agreement. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Advisor did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. (ii) To the extent that the Advisor has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subparagraph (i) above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, SBFM shall indemnify it against the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection therewith. (iii) Any indemnification under subparagraph (i) above, unless ordered by a court or administrative forum, shall be made by SBFM only as authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Advisor has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subparagraph (i) above. Such independent legal counsel shall be selected by SBFM in a timely manner, subject to the Advisor's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Advisor will be deemed to have approved SBFM's selection unless the Advisor notifies SBFM in writing, received by SBFM within five days of SBFM's telecopying to the Advisor of the notice of SBFM's selection, that the Advisor does not approve the selection. (iv) In the event the Advisor is made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of, or in connection with, the Partnership's or SBFM's activities or claimed activities unrelated to the Advisor, SBFM shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Advisor against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in connection therewith. (v) As used in this Paragraph 6(a), the terms "Advisor" shall include the Advisor, its principals, officers, directors, stockholders and employees and the term "SBFM" shall include the Partnership. (b)(i) The Advisor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SBFM, the Partnership and their affiliates against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them (A) as a result of the material breach of any material representations and warranties made by the Advisor in this Agreement, or (B) as a result of any act or omission of the Advisor relating to the Partnership if there has been a final judicial or regulatory determination or, in the event of a settlement of any action or proceeding with the prior written consent of the Advisor, a written opinion of an arbitrator pursuant to Paragraph 14 hereof, to the effect that such acts or omissions violated the terms of this Agreement in any material respect or involved negligence, bad faith, recklessness or intentional misconduct on the part of the Advisor (except as otherwise provided in Section 1(g)). (ii) In the event SBFM, the Partnership or any of their affiliates is made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of, or in connection with, the activities or claimed activities of the Advisor or its principals, officers, directors, shareholder(s) or employees unrelated to SBFM's or the Partnership's business, the Advisor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SBFM, the Partnership or any of their affiliates against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in connection therewith. (c) In the event that a person entitled to indemnification under this Paragraph 6 is made a party to an action, suit or proceeding alleging both matters for which indemnification can be made hereunder and matters for which indemnification may not be made hereunder, such person shall be indemnified only for that portion of the loss, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred in such action, suit or proceeding which relates to the matters for which indemnification can be made. (d) None of the indemnifications contained in this Paragraph 6 shall be applicable with respect to default judgments, confessions of judgment or settlements entered into by the party claiming indemnification without the prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the party obligated to indemnify such party. (d) The provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

(vii) At any time during the term of this Agreement that a prospectus or supplement relating to the Units is required to be delivered in connection with the offer and sale thereof, the Advisor agrees upon the request of SBFM to provide the Partnership with such information as shall be necessary so that, as to the Advisor and its principals, the prospectus is accurate. (b) SBFM represents and warrants for itself and the Partnership that: (i) Any Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented, which amendment or supplement is approved by the Advisor as to descriptions of itself and its actual performance) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact which is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except that the foregoing representation does not apply to any statement or omission concerning the Advisor in the Prospectus, made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to SBFM by or on behalf of the Advisor expressly for use in the Prospectus. (ii) It is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority to perform its obligations under this Agreement. (iii) SBFM and the Partnership have the capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the Partnership. (iv) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on SBFM's and the Partnership's behalf and is a valid and binding agreement of SBFM and the Partnership enforceable in accordance with its terms. (v) SBFM will not, by acting as General Partner to the Partnership and the Partnership will not, breach or cause to be breached any undertaking, agreement, contract, statute, rule or regulation to which it is a party or by which it is bound which would materially limit or affect the performance of its duties under this Agreement. (vi) It is registered as a commodity pool operator and is a member of the NFA, and it will maintain and renew such registration and membership during the term of this Agreement.

(iii) In the placement of orders for the Partnership's account and for the accounts of any other client, the Advisor will utilize a pre-determined, systematic, fair and reasonable order entry system, which shall, on an overall basis, be no less favorable to the Partnership than to any other account managed by the Advisor.
