and Morgan  Stanley Dean Witter  Charter  Millburn  L.P. The general  partner is
Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. ("DWR") and an unaffiliated clearing commodity broker,
Carr Futures Inc. ("Carr"),  provides clearing and execution  services.  Demeter
and DWR are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  Morgan  Stanley  Dean  Witter & Co.
("MSDW").  Welton Investment Corporation (the "Trading Advisor"), is the trading
advisor to the Partnership.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


Demeter is  required  to  maintain a 1%  minimum  interest  in the equity of the
Partnership and income  (losses) are shared by the General and Limited  Partners
based upon their proportional ownership interests.

Use of Estimates - 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 and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue  Recognition - Futures  interests are open commitments  until settlement
date.  They are valued at market and the resulting  unrealized  gains and losses
are reflected in income.  Monthly,  DWR pays the Partnership  interest income on
100% of its average daily funds held in its individual  account at DWR at a rate
equal to that earned by DWR on its U.S.  Treasury bill  investments  during such
month. In addition, DWR credits the Partnership with 100% of the interest income
received from Carr with respect to the  Partnership's net assets on deposit with
Carr for the purpose of meeting margin requirements.

                MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER CHARTER WELTON L.P.
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


For purposes of such interest payments,  Net Assets do not include monies due to
the  Partnership  on forward  contracts  and other  futures  interests,  but not
actually received.

Net Income  (Loss) per Unit - Net income  (loss) per Unit is computed  using the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.

Equity in Futures Interests  Trading Accounts - The Partnership's  asset "Equity
in futures interests  trading  accounts"  consists of cash on deposit at DWR and
Carr to be used as margin for trading and the net asset or liability  related to
unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.

Brokerage  and  Related  Transaction  Fees and  Costs - The  Partnership  pays a
flat-rate monthly brokerage fee of 1/12 of 7% of the Partnership's Net Assets as
of the first day of each month (a 7% annual rate). Such fee covers all brokerage
commissions, transaction fees and costs and ordinary administrative and offering
expenses.

Operating  Expenses - The Partnership  incurs a monthly  management fee and may
incur an incentive fee as described  below.  Demeter bears all other  operating
expenses.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


Management Fee - The Partnership  pays the Trading  Advisor a flat-rate  monthly
fee of 1/12 of 2% of the Net Assets managed by the Trading  Advisor on the first
day of each month (a 2% annual rate).

Incentive Fee - The Partnership pays the Trading Advisor a monthly incentive fee
equal to 20% of "Trading Profits" as defined in the Partnership's  Prospectus as
of the end of each calendar month. If the Trading Advisor has experienced losses
with respect to Net Assets at the end of any calendar month, the Trading Advisor
must earn back such  losses  before  the  Trading  Advisor  is  eligible  for an
incentive fee.

Income Taxes - No provision  for income taxes has been made in the  accompanying
financial  statements,  as partners are  individually  responsible for reporting
income or loss based upon their respective share of the  Partnership's  revenues
and expenses for income tax purposes.

Distributions - Distributions, other than on redemptions of Units, are made on a
pro-rata basis at the sole  discretion of Demeter.  No  distributions  have been
made to date.

Continuing  Offering - Units of the  Partnership are offered at a price equal to
100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit at monthly closings held as of the last day
of each month.

                MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER CHARTER WELTON L.P.
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


Redemptions  - Limited  Partners may redeem some or all of their Units as of the
last day of the  sixth  month  following  the  closing  at which a person  first
becomes a Limited Partner.  Redemptions may only be made in whole Units,  with a
minimum of 100 Units required for each  redemption,  unless a Limited Partner is
redeeming his entire interest in the Partnership.  Units redeemed on or prior to
the last day of the twelfth month from the date of purchase will be subject to a
redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption
Date.  Units redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to
the last day of the  twenty-fourth  month  from  the  date of  purchase  will be
subject to a  redemption  charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on
the Redemption  Date.  Units  redeemed  after the last day of the  twenty-fourth
month from the date of purchase will not be subject to a redemption charge.

Exchanges  - On the last day of the  first  month,  which  occurs  more than six
months after a person first becomes a Limited  Partner in the  Partnership,  and
the end of each month thereafter, Limited Partners may transfer their investment
among the  Morgan  Stanley  Dean  Witter  Charter  Series  (subject  to  certain
restrictions  outlined  in the Limited  Partnership  Agreement)  without  paying
additional charges.

Dissolution of the Partnership - The Partnership  will terminate on December 31,
2035 or at an  earlier  date if  certain  conditions  occur  as  defined  in the
Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.

2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Partnership  pays a brokerage fee to DWR on trades executed on its behalf as
described in Note 1. The  Partnership's  cash is on deposit with DWR and Carr in
future interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed. DWR and
Carr pay interest on these funds as described in Note 1.

3.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The  Partnership  trades  futures  and  forward  contracts,  options  on futures
contracts and on physical commodities and other commodities 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
significantly influence the market value of these contracts,  including interest
rate volatility.

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities"  effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The  Partnership  has elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS No.
133  beginning  with the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  SFAS No. 133  supersedes
SFAS No. 119 and No. 105,  which  required the  disclosure of average  aggregate
fair values and contract/notional values, respectively,  of derivative financial
instruments  for  an  entity  which  carries  its  assets  at  fair  value.  The
application  of  SFAS  No.  133  does  not  have  a  significant  effect  on the
Partnership's financial statements.

The net unrealized  gain on open contracts is reported as a component of "Equity
in futures interests  trading accounts" on the Statement of Financial  Condition
and totaled $32,030 at March 31, 1999.

The entire  $32,030  net  unrealized  gain on open  contracts  at March 31, 1999
related to exchange-traded futures contracts.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONCLUDED)


Exchange-traded  futures  contracts  held by the  Partnership  at March 31, 1999
mature through August 1999.

The  Partnership  is subject to the 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.  DWR and Carr act as the futures  commission
merchants  or the  counterparties  with  respect  to most  of the  Partnership's
assets.  Exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts are marked
to market on a daily basis,  with  variations in value settled on a daily basis.
Each  of  DWR  and  Carr,  as a  futures  commission  merchant  for  all  of the
Partnership's  exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts, are
required,  pursuant to regulations of the Commodity  Futures Trading  Commission
("CFTC") to segregate  from their own assets,  and for the sole benefit of their
commodity  customers,  all funds held by them with  respect  to  exchange-traded
futures and futures-styled  options contracts,  including an amount equal to the
net unrealized gain on all open futures and  futures-styled  options  contracts,
which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $5,408,648 at March 31, 1999.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY.  Assets of the  Partnership  are deposited  with DWR as  non-clearing
broker  and  Carr as  clearing  broker  in  separate  futures  interest  trading
accounts.  Such assets are held in either non-interest  bearing bank accounts or
in  securities  approved  by the CFTC for  investment  of  customer  funds.  The
Partnership's  assets held by DWR and Carr may be used as margin  solely for the
Partnership's  trading.  Since the  Partnership's  sole  purpose  is to trade in
futures interests, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such
liquid assets for margin purposes.

      The Partnership's  investment in futures interests may, from time to time,
be illiquid.  Most United States futures exchanges limit fluctuations in certain
futures interest prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily
price  fluctuations  limits" or "daily  limits".  Pursuant to such  regulations,
during a single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily
limit. If the price for a particular futures interest has increased or decreased
by an amount  equal to the daily limit,  positions in such futures  interest can
neither be taken nor  liquidated  unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit.  Futures interests prices have occasionally moved the daily
limit for  several  consecutive  days with  little or no  trading.  Such  market
conditions could prevent the Partnership  from promptly  liquidating its futures
interests and result in restrictions on redemptions.


                                    - 14 -

<PAGE>

      There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading  forward  contracts
on foreign  currency.  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  from  promptly  liquidating   unfavorable
positions,   subjecting  it  to  substantial  losses.  Either  of  these  market
conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions.

CAPITAL  RESOURCES.  The Partnership  does not have, nor does it expect to have,
any capital assets. Future redemptions,  exchanges and sales of additional Units
of Limited  Partnership  Interest  ("Unit(s)")  will  affect the amount of funds
available for investment in futures interests in subsequent periods.  Since they
are at the  discretion of Limited  partners,  it is not possible to estimate the
amount and therefore,  the impact of future  redemptions,  exchanges or sales of
additional Units.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

For the period from March 1 (commencement  of operations) to March 31, 1999, the
Partnership recorded total trading losses net of interest income of $405,344 and
posted a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The most significant  losses were
recorded in the global stock index futures  markets from long  positions in U.S.
stock index  futures as domestic  equity prices moved lower during late March on
investor fears regarding corporate earnings,  most notably technology companies.
In the agricultural markets,


                                    - 15 -

<PAGE>

losses were experienced from short futures positions in wheat, corn, and soybean
products.  Wheat  prices  moved  higher on reports  that a cold snap in the U.S.
Midwest could damage the hard red winter wheat crop early in March.  Corn prices
increased due to technical  strength amid a lack of farmer selling.  Soybean oil
prices  increased due to  speculative  buying incited by signs of an increase in
world  oilseed  and  vegetable  oil  demand.  In soft  commodities,  losses were
recorded from short cotton  futures  positions as prices  surged on  technically
motivated  speculative buying and rumors that an influential merchant had turned
bullish.  In the metals  markets,  smaller  losses were  experienced  from short
aluminum  futures  positions as prices increased during mid-March as good demand
in the United States  prompted  shipments from Europe amid a drawdown in supply.
Total  expenses for the period ended March 31, 1999 were 43,511,  resulting in a
net loss of $448,855. The value of a Unit decreased from $10.00 at March 1, 1999
(commencement of operations) to $9.23 at March 31, 1999.

YEAR 2000 PROBLEM.  Commodity pools,  like financial and business  organizations
and individuals  around the world,  depend on the smooth functioning of computer
systems.  Many computer  systems in use today cannot recognize the computer code
for the year 2000, but revert to 1900 or some other date. This is commonly known
as the "Year 2000  Problem".  The  Partnership  could be  adversely  affected if
computer  systems  used by it or any third  party  with  whom it has a  material
relationship do not properly process and calculate date-related  information and
data concerning dates on


                                    - 16 -

<PAGE>

or after January 1, 2000. Such a failure could adversely  affect the handling or
determination of futures trades and prices and other services.

      MSDW began its planning for the Year 2000 Problem in 1995,  and  currently
has several hundred  employees  working on the matter.  It has developed its own
Year 2000  compliance plan to deal with the problem and had the plan approved by
the  company's  executive   management,   Board  of  Directors  and  Information
Technology  Department.  Demeter is  coordinating  with MSDW to address the Year
2000  Problem  with  respect  to  Demeter's  computer  systems  that  affect the
Partnership.  This includes hardware and software  upgrades,  systems consulting
and computer maintenance.

      Beyond the challenge facing internal computer systems, the systems failure
of  any  of  the  third  parties  with  whom  the  Partnership  has  a  material
relationship - the futures exchanges and clearing organizations through which it
trades, Carr, or the Trading Advisor - could result in a material financial risk
to the Partnership.  All U.S. futures exchanges are subject to monitoring by the
CFTC of their Year 2000 preparedness and the major foreign futures exchanges are
also expected to be subject to market-wide testing of their Year 2000 compliance
during  1999.  Demeter  intends to monitor the  progress of Carr and the Trading
Advisor throughout 1999 in their Year 2000 compliance and, where applicable,  to
test its external interface with Carr and the Trading Advisor.

     A worst case scenario  would be one in which trading of contracts on behalf
of the  Partnership  becomes  impossible  as a result of the Year  2000  problem
encountered by any third parties.


                                    - 17 -

<PAGE>

A less  catastrophic  but more  likely  scenario  would be one in which  trading
opportunities   diminish  as  a  result  of  technical   problems  resulting  in
illiquidity and fewer  opportunities to make profitable  trades.  MSDW has begun
developing  various  "contingency  plans" in the event that the  systems of such
third parties fail. Demeter intends to consult closely with MSDW in implementing
those plans.  Despite the best efforts of both Demeter and MSDW,  however, it is
possible that these steps will not be sufficient to avoid any adverse  impact to
the Partnership.

RISKS  ASSOCIATED  WITH THE EURO.  On January 1, 1999,  eleven  countries in the
European Union  established  fixed conversion rates on their existing  sovereign
currencies  and  converted to a common single  currency  (the "euro").  During a
three-year  transition period,  the sovereign  currencies will continue to exist
but only as a fixed  denomination  of the euro.  Conversion to the euro prevents
the Trading  Advisor from trading in certain  currencies  and thereby limits its
ability to take advantage of potential market opportunities that might otherwise
have  existed  had  separate  currencies  been  available  to trade.  This could
adversely affect the performance results of the Partnership.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
         RISK

INTRODUCTION

The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the speculative trading
of futures interests.  The market sensitive  instruments held by the Partnership
are acquired solely for


                                    - 18 -

<PAGE>

speculative  trading purposes and, as a result,  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 primary business activities.

The futures  interests  traded by the  Partnership  involve  varying  degrees of
related  market risk.  Such market risk is often  dependent  upon changes in the
level or volatility of interest rates,  exchange rates,  and/or market values of
financial instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in related market risk based
upon the aforementioned  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  effects among the  Partnership's  existing open
positions, the volatility present within the market(s), and the liquidity of the
market(s). At varying times, each of these factors may act to exacerbate or mute
the market risk associated with the Partnership.

The Partnership's  past performance is not necessarily  indicative of its future
results.  Any  attempt at  quantifying  the  Partnership's  market  risk must be
qualified by the inherent  uncertainty  of its  speculative  trading,  which may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e. "risk of ruin") far in excess of the


                                    - 19 -

<PAGE>

Partnership's experience to date and/or any reasonable expectation premised upon
historical changes in the fair value of its market sensitive instruments.

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.  As such, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership's
open  positions is directly  reflected in the  Partnership's  earnings,  whether
realized or unrealized,  and the Partnership's  cash flow, as profits and losses
on open positions of exchange-traded futures interests are settled daily through
variation margin.

The  Partnership's  risk exposure in the various  market  sectors traded by the
Trading Advisor is estimated  below in terms of Value at Risk ("VaR").  The VaR
model employed by the Partnership  incorporates  numerous  variables that could
impact   the  fair  value  of  the   Partnership's   trading   portfolio.   The
Partnership


                                    - 20 -

<PAGE>

estimates  VaR using a model based on  historical  simulation  with a confidence
level of 99%.  Historical  simulation  involves  constructing a distribution  of
hypothetical  daily changes in trading  portfolio value. The VaR model generally
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, as well as correlation  that
exists among these variables.  The  hypothetical  changes in portfolio value are
based on daily observed percentage changes in key market indices or other market
factors ("market risk factors") to which the portfolio is sensitive. In the case
of the  Partnership's  VaR, the historical  observation  period is approximately
four years. The Partnership's one-day 99% VaR corresponds to the negative change
in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factor moves,  would have
been exceeded once in 100 trading days.

VaR  models  such as the  Partnership's  are  continually  evolving  as  trading
portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems  capabilities
improve.  It must also be noted  that the VaR model is used to  quantify  market
risk for historic  reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Demeter
or the Trading Advisor in their daily risk management activities.

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


                                    - 21 -

<PAGE>

by market category as of March 31, 1999. As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership's
total capitalization was approximately $8 million.

      PRIMARY MARKET                   MARCH 31, 1999

      Aggregate Value at Risk             (1.08)%

Aggregate value at risk represents the aggregate VaR of the  Partnership's  open
positions and not the sum of the VaR of the individual  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, 1999 only and is not  necessarily  representative  of either the historic or
future risk of an investment in the  Partnership.  Because the  Partnership  has
only been in operation for a single reporting period,  the high, low and average
VaR of the Partnership's open positions are all identical.  As the Partnership's
sole business is the speculative  trading of primarily  futures  interests,  the
composition of its portfolio of open positions can change significantly over any
given time  period or even within a single  trading  day.  Such  changes in open
positions  could  materially  impact  market  risk  as  measured  by VaR  either
positively or negatively.


                                    - 22 -

<PAGE>

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,  as  such  margin
requirements  generally  range  between  2% and  15%  of  contract  face  value.
Additionally,  due to the use of leverage,  the face value of the market  sector
instruments   held  by  the  Partnership  is  typically  many  times  the  total
capitalization of the Partnership.  The financial magnitude of the Partnership's
open  positions  thus  creates  a "risk of ruin"  not  typically  found in other
investment  vehicles.  Due to the relative size of the positions  held,  certain
market conditions may cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly in excess of
VaR within a short period of time. The foregoing VaR table,  as well as the past
performance of the  Partnership,  gives no indication of such "risk of ruin". In
addition,  VaR risk measures should be interpreted in light of the methodology's
limitations,  which include the  following:  past changes in market risk factors
will not always yield accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations
of future  market  movements;  changes in portfolio  value in response to market
movements may differ from the responses  implicit in a VaR model;  published 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.


                                    - 23 -

<PAGE>

The foregoing VaR table presents the results of the  Partnership's  VaR for each
of the  Partnership's  market risk exposures and on an aggregate  basis at March
31, 1999.  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 and monitor  risk and there can be no  assurance  that the  Partnership's
actual  losses on a  particular  day will not exceed the VaR  amounts  indicated
below or that such losses will not occur more than 1 in 100 trading days.

NON-TRADING RISK

The  Partnership  has  non-trading  market risk on its foreign cash balances not
needed for margin.  However,  such balances, as well as any market risk they may
represent, are immaterial.  The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion
(approximately  96%) of its  available  assets  in cash at  DWR.  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 material.

Materiality,  as used  throughout  this  section,  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.

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 Demeter and the Trading  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  expro-priations,  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  substantially  all of
their investment in the Partnership.

The following were the primary  trading risk exposures of the  Partnership as of
March 31, 1999, by market  sector.  It may be  anticipated  however,  that these
market exposures will vary materially over time.

      INTEREST RATE.  Interest rate risk is the principal market exposure of the
Partnership.  Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign
bond futures  positions held by the  Partnership and indirectly 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
to interest rate  fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries.
However,  the Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt of
smaller nations - e.g. New Zealand.  Demeter anticipates that G-7 interest rates
will remain the primary market  exposure of the  Partnership for the foreseeable
future.  The  changes  in  interest  rates  which  have the most  effect  on the
Partnership are changes in long-term,  as opposed to short-term,  rates. Most of
the speculative  future positions held by the Partnership are in  medium-to-long
term instruments. Consequently, even a material change in short-term rates would
have little  effect on the  Partnership  were the  medium-to-long  term rates to
remain steady.

      CURRENCY.   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, including cross-rates - i.e., positions between two


                                    - 26 -

<PAGE>

currencies  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar.  However,  the  Partnership's  major
exposures  are  expected  to be  in  the  dollar/euro,  dollar/Swiss  franc  and
dollar/pound positions. Demeter does not anticipate that the risk profile of the
Partnership's currency sector will change significantly in the future,  although
it is difficult at this point to predict the effect of the  introduction  of the
Euro on the Trading Advisor's currency trading strategies.

      EQUITY. The Partnership's  primary equity exposure is to equity 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.  As of March 31,  1999,  the
Partnership's  primary exposures were in the ASE All Ordinaries  (Australia) and
S&P 500 stock indices.  Demeter  anticipates  little, if any, trading in non-G-7
stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price
trends or static  markets in the major  U.S.,  European  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.

      METALS.   The   Partnership's   primary  metals  market   exposure  is  to
fluctuations  in the price of gold.  Although the Trading Advisor will from time
to time trade base metals such as copper,  the principal market exposures of the
Partnership  are expected to be in the  precious  metals,  gold (and,  to a much
lesser extent,  platinum).  It should be noted that in general, gold trading has
been  increasingly  limited  due  to the  long-lasting  and  mainly  non- - 27 -
volatile  decline  in the  price  of gold  over the last  10-15  years.  Demeter
anticipates  that gold will remain the primary  metals  market  exposure for the
Partnership.

      SOFT COMMODITIES AND AGRICULTURALS.  The Partnership's primary commodities
exposure is to fluctuations in the price of soft commodities and  agriculturals,
which are often directly  affected by severe or unexpected  weather  conditions.
Sugar and tocom rubber accounted for the substantial  bulk of the  Partnership's
commodities  exposure at March 31, 1999.  Demeter  anticipates  that the Trading
Advisor will maintain an emphasis on sugar and tocom rubber.

      ENERGY. The Partnership's primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil
price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East.
Although the Trading Advisor trades natural gas to a limited  extent,  oil is by
far the  dominant  energy  market  exposure of the  Partnership.  Oil prices are
currently depressed, but they can be volatile and substantial profits and losses
have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  REGARDING  NON-TRADING RISK EXPOSURE The following was
the only non-trading risk exposure of the Partnership at March 31, 1999:

FOREIGN  CURRENCY   BALANCES.   The  Partnership's   primary  foreign  currency
balances are in euros,  Swiss francs and Australian  dollars.  The  Partnership
controls the non-trading risk of these


                                    - 28 -

<PAGE>

balances by  regularly  converting  these  balances  back into U.S.  dollars at
varying intervals, depending upon such factors as size, volatility, etc.

QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  REGARDING MEANS OF MANAGING RISK EXPOSURE The means by
which the Partnership and the Trading Advisor, severally,  attempt to manage the
risk of the Partnership's  open positions are essentially the same in all market
categories traded.  Demeter attempts to manage the Partnership's market exposure
by (i) diversifying the Partnership's  assets among different market sectors and
trading approaches,  and (ii), monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisor
on a daily basis. In addition,  the Trading Advisor 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
instruments, cash, which is the only Partnership investment directed by Demeter,
rather than the Trading Advisor.

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 6, 10, and 20, 1996, and on March 13, 1997, similar purported class
actions were filed in the Superior Court of the State of  California,  County of
Los Angeles,  on behalf of all  purchasers  of interests in limited  partnership
commodity pools sold by DWR. Named defendants include DWR, Demeter,  Dean Witter
Futures & Currency Management Inc., MSDW (all such parties referred to hereafter
as the "Dean Witter Parties"), certain other limited partnership commodity pools
of which Demeter is the general  partner,  and certain trading advisors to those
pools.  On  June  16,  1997,  the  plaintiffs  in  the  above  actions  filed  a
consolidated  amended  complaint,   alleging,   among  other  things,  that  the
defendants  committed  fraud,  deceit,  negligent  misrepresenta-tion,   various
violations of the California Corporations Code, intentional and negligent breach
of fiduciary duty, fraudulent and unfair business practices,  unjust enrichment,
and  conversion  in the sale and  operation of the various  limited  partnership
commodity pools. Similar purported class actions were also filed on September 18
and 20, 1996,  in the Supreme  Court of the State of New York,  New York County,
and on November  14, 1996 in the Superior  Court of the State of  Delaware,  New
Castle County,  against the Dean Witter Parties and certain trading  advisors on
behalf of all purchasers of interests in various limited  partnership  commodity
pools sold by DWR. A consolidated and amended complaint in the action pending in
the  Supreme  Court  of the  State of New York was  filed on  August  13,  1997,
alleging that


                                    - 30 -

<PAGE>

the  defendants  committed  fraud,  breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  and  negligent
misrepresentation  in the sale and operation of the various limited  partnership
commodity pools. On December 16, 1997, upon motion of the plaintiffs, the action
pending in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware was voluntarily dismissed
without  prejudice.  The New York Supreme Court dismissed the New York action in
November 1998, but granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint,  which
they did in early December  1998.  The defendants  filed a motion to dismiss the
amended  complaint  with  prejudice on February 1, 1999. On April 12, 1999,  the
defendants also filed a motion in the California action to oppose  certification
by the court of the class in the  California  litigation.  The  complaints  seek
unspecified amounts of compensatory and punitive damages and other relief. It is
possible that additional similar actions may be filed and that, in the course of
these  actions,  other  parties  could be added as  defendants.  The Dean Witter
Parties  believe  that they have strong  defenses  to, and they will  vigorously
contest, the actions.  Although the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings cannot
be predicted with certainty,  it is the opinion of management of the Dean Witter
Parties  that the  resolution  of the actions  will not have a material  adverse
effect on the  financial  condition or the results of  operations  of any of the
Dean Witter Parties.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Partnership  registered 3,000,000 Units pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Form S-1,  which  became  effective  on  November  6,  1998 (SEC File  Number
333-60097).

The offering on February 26, 1999 (the "Initial Offer-ing").  In addition to the
Initial Offering, Units are being sold at monthly closings as of the last day of
each month at a price  equal to 100% of the Net Asset  Value of a Unit as of the
date of such monthly closing. The managing underwriter is DWR.

The aggregate  price of the offering amount  registered was  $30,000,000  (based
upon the initial offering price of $10.00 per Unit).

Through March 31, 1999, 869,247.093 Units were sold, leaving 2,130,752.907 Units
unsold as of March 31, 1999. The aggregate price of the Units sold through March
31, 1999 was $8,464,472.

Since no expenses are chargeable  against proceeds,  100% of the proceeds of the
offering have been applied to the working  capital of the Partnership for use in
accordance with the "Investment Programs,  Use of Proceeds and Trading Policies"
sections of the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement.
