NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2002

(Unaudited)


The unaudited financial statements contained herein include, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations and financial condition
of Dean Witter Diversified Futures Fund Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership").  The financial statements and condensed notes
herein should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's
December 31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

1.  Organization
Dean Witter Diversified Futures Fund Limited Partnership is a
Delaware limited partnership organized to engage primarily in the
speculative trading of futures contracts and forward contracts on
physical commodities and other commodity interests, including
foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy products
and agriculturals.

The general partner for the Partnership is Demeter Management
Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is
Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW").  The clearing
commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. ("MS & Co.") and
Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL").  The trading

<page>
DEAN WITTER DIVERSIFIED FUTURES FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


manager is Morgan Stanley Futures & Currency Management Inc.
("MSFCM" or the "Trading Manager").  Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW,
MS & Co., MSIL and MSFCM are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter & Co.

2.  Related Party Transactions
The Partnership's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS &
Co. and MSIL in futures and forwards trading accounts to meet
margin requirements as needed. Morgan Stanley DW pays interest on
these funds based on a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills.
The Partnership pays brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley DW.
Management fees and incentive fees, if any, incurred by the
Partnership are paid to MSFCM.

3.  Financial Instruments
The Partnership trades futures contracts and forward contracts on
physical commodities and other commodity interests, including
foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and
agricultural products.  Futures and forwards represent contracts
for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and
price.  Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts
and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the
terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may

<page>
DEAN WITTER DIVERSIFIED FUTURES FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

significantly influence the market value of these contracts,
including interest rate volatility.

The Partnership accounts for its derivative investments in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133").  SFAS No.
133 defines a derivative as a financial instrument or other
contract that has all three of the following characteristics:

1)	One or more underlying notional amounts or payment
provisions;
2)	Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net
investment than would be required relative to changes in
market factors;
3)	Terms require or permit net settlement.

Generally derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options
contracts and other financial instruments with similar
characteristics such as caps, floors and collars.

The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty non-
performance.  The credit risk associated with the instruments in
which the Partnership is involved is limited to the amounts
reflected in the Partnership's statements of financial condition.

The Partnership also has credit risk because Morgan Stanley DW, MS
& Co., and MSIL act as the futures commission merchants or the
counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnership's assets.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are marked to market on a daily
basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. Each of
Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co. and MSIL, as a futures commission
merchant for the Partnership's exchange-traded futures contracts,
are required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission ("CFTC"), to segregate from their own assets,

<page>
DEAN WITTER DIVERSIFIED FUTURES FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)

and for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds
held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures contracts,
including an amount equal to the net unrealized gains(losses) on
all open futures contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled
$85,411,855 and $80,423,880 at March 31, 2002 and December 31,
2001, respectively. With respect to the Partnership's off-
exchange-traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily
settlements of variations in value nor is there any requirement
that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on open
forward contracts be segregated.  With respect to those off-
exchange-traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at
risk to the ability of MS & Co., the sole counterparty on all of
such contracts, to perform.  The Partnership has a netting
agreement with MS & Co.  This agreement, which seeks to reduce
both the Partnership's and MS & Co.'s exposure on off-exchange-
traded forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the
Partnership's credit risk in the event of MS & Co.'s bankruptcy or
insolvency.






<page>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity - The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan
Stanley DW as non-clearing broker and MS & Co. and MSIL as
clearing brokers in separate futures and forwards trading accounts
established for the Trading Manager, which assets are used as
margin to engage in trading.  The assets are held in either non-
interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments
permitted by the CFTC for investment of customer segregated or
secured funds.  The Partnership's assets held by the commodity
brokers may be used as margin solely for the Partnership's
trading.  Since the Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in
futures and forwards, it is expected that the Partnership will
continue to own such liquid assets for margin purposes.

The Partnership's investment in futures and forwards may, from
time to time, be illiquid.  Most U.S. futures exchanges limit
fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred
to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily limits".  Trades
may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.  If the
price for a particular futures contract has increased or decreased
by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures
contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are
willing to effect trades at or within the limit.  Futures prices
have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive

<page>
days with little or no trading.  These market conditions could
prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its futures
contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.

There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currencies.  The markets for some world
currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to
substantial losses.  Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions.

The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets.

Capital Resources.  The Partnership does not have, nor expect to
have, any capital assets.  Redemptions of additional units of
limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") in the future will affect
the amount of funds available for investment in futures and
forwards in subsequent periods.  It is not possible to estimate
the amount and therefore the impact of future redemptions of
Units.



<page>
Results of Operations
General.  The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Manager
and the ability of the Trading Manager's trading programs to take
advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities in the
futures and forwards markets.  The following presents a summary of
the Partnership's operations for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2002 and 2001, and a general discussion of its trading
activities during each period.  It is important to note, however,
that the Trading Manager trades in various markets at different
times and that prior activity in a particular market does not mean
that such market will be actively traded by the Trading Manager or
will be profitable in the future.  Consequently, the results of
operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than
in the context of the Trading Manager's trading activities on
behalf of the Partnership and how the Partnership has performed in
the past.

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2002
For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $2,026,816
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 9.4% were recorded in the
energy markets primarily during March from previously established
long positions in crude oil futures as prices continued trending
higher amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and supply/

<page>
demand factors.  Additional gains were recorded during January
from previously established short natural gas futures positions as
prices declined following a higher-than-expected American Gas
Association inventory report and forecasts of mild weather for the
Eastern U.S.  A portion of the Partnership's overall gains was
partially offset by losses of approximately 7.9% recorded in the
currency markets primarily during March from positions in the euro
versus the U.S. dollar and British pound from short-term, choppy
price movement.  Additional losses were experienced during early
March from previously established short positions in the Japanese
yen as its value reversed higher versus U.S. dollar amid a
repatriation of assets from the U.S. to Japan.  As a result of
this strengthening, new long Japanese yen positions were
established only to result in additional losses later in March as
the value of the yen reversed lower on expectations that the
repatriation flows ahead of the Japanese fiscal year-end would be
ending.  In the metals markets, losses of approximately 0.5% were
incurred primarily during January from gold futures positions as
prices moved in an erratic manner on conflicting supply concerns
and on the economic outlook. Total expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 were $1,603,941, resulting in net income of
$422,875.  The net asset value of a Unit increased from $1,190.47
at December 31, 2001 to $1,196.80 March 31, 2002.



<page>
For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2001
For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $6,720,854
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit.  The most
significant gains of approximately 8.6% were recorded throughout
the majority of the quarter in the global interest rate futures
markets from long positions in the Japanese government bond
futures as prices moved higher on concerns regarding that
country's economy.  Additional gains were recorded from long
positions in the U.S. and European interest rate futures as prices
rose amid a rattled stock market, shaky consumer confidence,
positive inflation data and interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal
Reserve.  In soft commodities, gains of approximately 2.9% were
recorded throughout a majority of the quarter from short cotton
futures positions as prices moved lower on weak export sales and
low demand.  In the currency markets, gains of approximately 1.8%
were recorded throughout the majority of the quarter from short
positions in the Japanese yen as the value of the yen weakened
relative to the U.S. dollar on continuing concerns for the
Japanese economy and in both anticipation and reaction to the Bank
of Japan's decision to reinstate its zero interest rate policy.
These gains were partially offset by losses of approximately 6.5%
recorded primarily during January in the energy markets from short
futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices
increased amid cold weather forecasts, OPEC production cuts and a
tightening in U.S. crude oil supplies.  Losses were also recorded

<page>
during March from short crude oil futures positions as supply
concerns pushed the price of crude oil higher.  Additional losses
were recorded during January from long positions in natural gas
futures as prices reversed their sharp upward trend amid bearish
inventory data and forecasts for warmer weather.  In the metals
markets, losses of approximately 1.0% were incurred primarily
during February from long positions in aluminum futures as prices
moved lower, pressured by the decline in the U.S. equity market
and concerns over demand.  Total expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 were $1,690,877, resulting in net income of
$5,029,977.  The net asset value of a Unit increased from
$1,175.17 at December 31, 2000 to $1,245.51 at March 31, 2001.

Item 3.	 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Introduction
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures and forwards.  The market-
sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for
speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are at risk of
trading loss.  Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments is central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.


<page>
The futures and forwards traded by the Partnership involve
varying degrees of related market risk.  Market risk is often
dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest
rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and
commodities.  Fluctuations in market risk based upon these
factors result in frequent changes in the fair value of the
Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its earnings
and cash flow.

The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets.  At different times,
each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.

The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its future results.  Any attempt to numerically quantify the
Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its
speculative trading.  The Partnership's speculative trading may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e., "risk of ruin") that
far exceed the Partnership's experience to date or any reasonable
expectations based upon historical changes in market value.


<page>
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.

The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark-
to-market accounting principles.  Any loss in the market value of
the Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the
Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow.  Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures and forwards are settled daily through variation
margin.

The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Manager is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk
("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many
variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's
trading portfolio.  The Partnership estimates VaR using a model
based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.

<page>
Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of
hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.
The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and
interest rate risk.  Market risks that are incorporated in the
VaR model include equity and commodity prices, interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables.
The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily
percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market
factors ("market risk factors") to which the portfolio is
sensitive.  The historical observation period of the Partner-
ship's VaR is approximately four years.  The one-day 99%
confidence level of the Partnership's VaR corresponds to the
negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market
risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days.

VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously
evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling
techniques and systems capabilities improve.  Please note that
the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for
historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either
Demeter or the Trading Manager in their daily risk management
activities.




<page>
The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following table indicates the VaR associated with the
Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets
by primary market risk category at March 31, 2002 and 2001. At
March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership's total capitalization
was approximately $77 million and $89 million, respectively.

	Primary Market          March 31, 2002	   March 31, 2001

Aggregate Value at Risk represents the aggregate VaR of all the
Partnership's open positions and not the sum of the VaR of the
individual market categories listed above.  Aggregate VaR will be
lower as it takes into account correlation among different
positions and categories.

The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open
positions at March 31, 2002 and 2001 only and is not necessarily
representative of either the historic or future risk of an
investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's only
business is the speculative trading of futures and forwards, the

<page>
composition of its trading portfolio can change significantly
over any given time period, or even within a single trading day.
Any changes in open positions could positively or negatively
materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

The table below supplements the quarter-end VaR by presenting the
Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a percentage of total
net assets for the four quarterly reporting periods from April 1,
2001 through March 31, 2002.

Primary Market Risk Category        High      Low      Average

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 margin
requirements.  Margin requirements generally range between 2% and
15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage
causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership to typically be many times the total capitalization of
the Partnership.  The value of the Partnership's open positions

<page>
thus creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in other
investments.  The relative size of the positions held may cause
the Partnership to incur losses greatly in excess of VaR within a
short period of time, given the effects of the leverage employed
and market volatility.  The VaR tables above, as well as the past
performance of the Partnership, give no indication of such "risk
of ruin". In addition, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light
of the methodology's limitations, which include the following:
?	past changes in market risk factors will not always result in
accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of
future market movements;
?	changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may
differ from those of the VaR model;
?	VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk
depends on future positions;
?	VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the
market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged
within one day; and
?	the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation
may provide only limited insight into losses that could be
incurred under certain unusual market movements.

The VaR tables above present the results of the Partnership's VaR
for each of the Partnership's market risk exposures and on an

<page>
aggregate basis at March 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the end of the
four quarterly reporting periods from April 1, 2001 through March
31, 2002.  Since VaR is based on historical data, VaR should not
be viewed as predictive of the Partnership's future financial
performance or its ability to manage or monitor risk.  There can
be no assurance that the Partnership's actual losses on a
particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above or
that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading
days.

Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin.  These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial.

At March 31, 2002, the Partnership's cash balance at Morgan
Stanley DW was approximately 100% of its total net asset value.  A
decline in short-term interest rates will result in a decline in
the Partnership's cash management income. This cash flow risk is
not considered to be material.

Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any
associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,


<page>
optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership's net
assets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are
statements of historical fact and (B) 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 Demeter and the Trading Manager
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 risk management strategies of the
Partnership.  Investors must be prepared to lose all or


<page>
substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at March 31, 2002, by market sector.  It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.

Currency.  The primary market exposure of the Partnership at
March 31, 2002, was to the currency sector.  The Partnership's
currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily
fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships
between different currencies and currency pairs.  Interest rate
changes as well as political and general economic conditions
influence these fluctuations.  The Partnership trades in a large
number of currencies, including cross-rates - i.e., positions
between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  At March 31,
2002, the Partnership's major exposures were to the euro currency
crosses and outright U.S. dollar positions.  Outright positions
consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies.  These other
currencies include major and minor currencies.  Demeter does not
anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership's currency
sector will change significantly in the future.  The currency
trading VaR figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into
U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the
exchange rate risk inherent to the U.S.-based Partnership in
expressing VaR in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
<page>
Interest Rate.  The second largest market exposure at March 31,
2002 was primarily spread across the Japanese and German interest
rate sectors.  Interest rate movements directly affect the price
of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership
and indirectly affect the value of its stock index and currency
positions.  Interest rate movements in one country, as well as
relative interest rate movements between countries, materially
impact the Partnership's profitability.  The Partnership's
primary interest rate exposure is generally to interest rate
fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries.
The G-7 countries consist of France, U.S., Britain, Germany,
Japan, Italy and Canada.  However, the Partnership also takes
futures positions in the government debt of smaller nations -
e.g., Australia.  Demeter anticipates that G-7 and Australian
interest rates will remain the primary interest rate exposures of
the Partnership for the foreseeable future.  The speculative
futures positions held by the Partnership may range from short to
long-term instruments.  Consequently, changes in short, medium or
long-term interest rates may have an effect on the Partnership.

Equity.  The Partnership's equity exposure at March 31, 2002, was
to price risk in the G-7 countries.  The stock index futures
traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on
broadly-based indices.  At March 31, 2002, the Partnership's


<page>
primary exposure was to the Nikkei (Japan) stock index.  The
Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price
trends or static markets in the U.S. and Japanese indices.
Static markets would not cause major market changes but would
make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid being "whipsawed"
into numerous small losses.

Commodity.
Energy.  At March 31, 2002, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in crude
oil and its related products and natural gas. Price
movements in these markets result from political
developments in the Middle East, weather patterns and other
economic fundamentals.  It is possible that volatility will
remain high.  Significant profits and losses, which have
been experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be
experienced in these markets.  Natural gas has exhibited
volatility in prices resulting from weather patterns and
supply and demand factors, and may continue in this choppy
pattern.

Soft Commodities and Agriculturals.  At March 31, 2002, the
Partnership had exposure to the markets that comprise these
sectors.  Most of the exposure, was to the coffee,


<page>
corn and soybeans markets.  Supply and demand inequalities,
severe weather disruption and market expectations affect
price movements in these markets.

Metals.  The Partnership's metals exposure at March 31, 2002
was to fluctuations in the price of base metals, such as
copper, nickel and zinc.  Economic forces, supply and demand
inequalities, geopolitical factors and market expectations
influence price movement in these markets.  The Trading
Manager has, from time to time, taken positions when market
opportunities develop.  Demeter anticipates that the
Partnership will continue to be exposed to the base metals
markets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at March 31, 2002:

Foreign Currency Balances.  The Partnership's primary
foreign currency balance at March 31, 2002, was in British
pounds.  The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of
these balances by regularly converting them back into U.S.
dollars upon liquidation of their respective positions.



<page>
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Manager, separately, attempt to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in essentially
the same manner in all market categories traded.  Demeter attempts
to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership's assets
among different market sectors and trading approaches, and
monitoring the performance of the Trading Manager daily.  In
addition, the Trading Manager establishes diversification
guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum margin to be
committed to positions in any one market sector or market-
sensitive instrument.

Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-
trading instrument, cash.  Cash is the only Partnership investment
directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Manager.
