NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2003

(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 Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P. (the "Partnership").
The financial statements and condensed notes herein should be
read in conjunction with the Partnership's December 31, 2002
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

1.  Organization
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P. is a Delaware limited
partnership organized to engage primarily in the speculative
trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and
forward contracts in global currency markets.  The Partnership is
one of the Morgan Stanley Spectrum series of funds, comprised of
the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P.,
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.

The Partnership's general partner is Demeter Management
Corporation ("Demeter").  The non-clearing commodity broker is
Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing
commodity broker is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS &
<page> MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Co.").  Demeter, Morgan Stanley DW and MS & Co. are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.  The trading advisors to the
Partnership are John W. Henry & Company, Inc. and Sunrise Capital
Partners, LLC (individually, a "Trading Advisor", or
collectively, the "Trading Advisors").

2.  Related Party Transactions
The Partnership's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW and
MS & Co. in futures, forwards, and options 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 fees to Morgan
Stanley DW.

3.  Financial Instruments
The Partnership trades futures contracts, options on futures
contracts, and forward contracts in global currency markets.
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.
<page> MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The market value of contracts is based on closing prices quoted
by the exchange, bank or clearing firm through which the
contracts are traded.

The Partnership's contracts are accounted for on a trade-date
basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The Partnership
accounts for its derivative investments in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 net unrealized gains on open contracts, reported as a
component of "Equity in futures interests trading accounts" on the
statements of financial condition, and their longest contract
maturities were as follows:

                       Net Unrealized Gains
                         on Open Contracts               Longest Maturities

Date              Traded      Traded       Total       Traded       Traded

Dec. 31, 2002	         -      5,651,549	5,651,549	-	 Mar. 2003

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
and MS & Co. 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.  Morgan Stanley DW and MS & Co., each
as a futures commission merchant for 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
<page> MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)

held by them with respect to exchange-traded futures and futures-
styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net
unrealized gains on all open futures and futures-styled options
contracts.  With respect to the Partnership's off-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts, there are no daily exchange-required
settlements of variations in value nor is there any requirement
that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains on open forward
contracts be segregated, however, MS & Co. and Morgan Stanley DW
will make daily settlements of losses as needed.  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 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. as clearing broker
in separate futures, forwards, and options trading accounts
established for each Trading Advisor, 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, forwards, and options, it is expected that the
Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for margin
purposes.

The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards, and options
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 or options contract
has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit,
positions in that futures or options 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
<page> limit for several consecutive days with little or no
trading.  These market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its futures or options 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. Furthermore, there are no material trends,
demands, commitments, events or uncertainties known at the
present time that will result in, or that are reasonably likely
to result in, the Partnership's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way.

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

There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable,
that would affect, and no expected material changes to, the
Partnership's capital resource arrangements at the present time.
The Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements,
nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial
commitments to make future payments that would affect its
liquidity or capital resources.  The contracts the Partnership
trades are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to
market on a daily basis. The value of futures contracts is the
settlement price on the exchange on which that futures contract
is traded on a particular day.  The value of foreign currency
forward contracts is based on the spot rate as of the close of
business, New York City time, on a given day.

Results of Operations
General.  The Partnership's results depend on the Trading
Advisors and the ability of each Trading Advisor's trading
programs to take advantage of price movements or other profit
opportunities in the futures, forwards, and options markets.  The
following presents a summary of the Partnership's operations for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and
2002 and a general discussion of its trading activities during
<page> each period. It is important to note, however, that the
Trading Advisors trade 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 Advisors 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 Advisors' trading activities on
behalf of the Partnership and how the Partnership has performed in
the past.

The Partnership's results of operations set forth in the
financial statements on pages 2 through 11 of this report were
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require the use
of certain accounting policies that affect the amounts reported
in these financial statements, including the following: The
contracts the Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade-
date basis and marked to market on a daily basis.  The difference
between their cost and market value is recorded on the Statements
of Operations as "Net change in unrealized profit/loss" for open
(unrealized) contracts, and recorded as "Realized profit/loss"
when open positions are closed out, and the sum of these amounts
constitutes the Partnership's trading revenues. Interest income
revenue, as well as management fees, incentive fees and brokerage
fees expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual
basis.
<page>
Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of
the Partnership, no assumptions relating to the application of
critical accounting policies other than those presently used
could reasonably affect reported amounts.

For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Partnership
recorded total trading losses, net of interest income, of
$5,055,352 and posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit. The
most significant losses of approximately 3.4% resulted from short
positions in the euro and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar
during September as the dollar's value sunk after the release of
several weak U.S. economic reports prompted fears of an
unsustainable U.S. economic recovery. Additional losses of
approximately 2.1% were recorded from long positions in the
Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar primarily during July
amid rising expectations for a U.S. economic recovery, negative
economic data out of Australia and narrowing interest rate
differentials between the two countries. A portion of the
Partnership's losses for the quarter was offset by gains of
approximately 1.9% recorded from long positions in the Japanese
yen versus the U.S. dollar during September as the yen's value
was buoyed by Bank of Japan comments regarding its passive
currency intervention policy and perceptions that the Japanese
economic crisis was finally at a turning point. Gains of <page>
approximately 1.6% were supplied by long positions in the Thai
baht versus the U.S. dollar during August and September as the
baht's value increased in response to the improving Thailand
economy and the rise in value of the Japanese yen.  Additional
gains of approximately 1.3% resulted from long positions in the
South African rand versus the U.S. dollar during August and
September as the value of the rand was lifted by strong South
African export data, a high South African interest rate
environment and weaker U.S. equity prices. Total expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 2003 were $2,311,978, resulting
in a net loss of $7,367,330. The net asset value of a Unit
decreased from $14.93 at June 30, 2003 to $14.14 at September 30,
2003.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Partnership
recorded total trading revenues, including interest income, of
$7,907,909 and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit.
The most significant gains of approximately 10.7% were recorded
from long positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar as the
value of the euro strengthened to an all-time high during May
amid uncertainty regarding the Bush Administration's economic
policy, renewed fears of potential terrorist attacks against
American interests, and investor preference for non-U.S. assets.
During January and April, gains were recorded from long positions
in the euro versus the U.S. dollar as the U.S. dollar's value
weakened amid renewed fears of a military conflict with Iraq,
<page> increased tensions with North Korea, and weak U.S.
economic data. Additional gains of approximately 5.0% resulted
from long positions in the Australian dollar versus the U.S.
dollar as the Australian currency strengthened during April, May
and June in response to continued weakness in the U.S. dollar,
higher interest rates relative to those in the U.S., Europe and
Asia, and higher gold prices earlier in the year. Gains of
approximately 2.0% were provided by long positions in the South
African rand versus the U.S. dollar during April as the rand's
value strengthened in response to significant interest rate
differentials between the two countries. Smaller profits of
approximately 1.6% were experienced from long positions in the
Thai baht versus the U.S. dollar primarily during September as
the baht's value appreciated in tandem with the value of the
Japanese yen. A portion of the Partnership's overall gains was
offset by losses of approximately 4.1% from positions in the
British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the pound
strengthened during April and May on expectations that the Bank
of England would likely leave interest rates unchanged and the
release of lower than expected unemployment data from Great
Britain. During June, losses stemmed from positions in the pound
versus the U.S. dollar as the pound's value increased early in
the month amid expectations that the Bank of England would likely
leave interest rates unchanged, and then reversed lower after the
British Finance Minister released positive comments regarding the
U.K.'s entry prospects into the European Union. Additional losses
<page> of approximately 2.0% resulted from long positions in the
Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar during May as the yen's value
first strengthened and then reversed lower on speculation that
the Bank of Japan favored a weaker yen in order to spur economic
activity. During August, losses resulted from short positions in
the Japanese yen as the Asian currency strengthened on stronger
equity prices and the Bank of Japan's commitment to its monetary
policy. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 were $8,345,976, resulting in a net loss of $438,067. The
net asset value of a Unit increased from $13.93 at December 31,
2002 to $14.14 at September 30, 2003.  The net asset value per
Unit increased despite the Partnership's net loss for the period
since the net loss per Unit amount, incurred in the later months
of the nine month period, was not in excess of the net income per
Unit amount incurred in the earlier months of the nine month
period because the later losses were spread over a larger number
of Units due to subscriptions increasing the Partnership's total
number of Units each month.

For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002
For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership
recorded total trading losses, net of interest income, of
$7,254,255 and posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit.
The most significant losses of approximately 5.4% were recorded
in minor currencies, predominantly from long positions in the
Polish zloty, South African rand, and New Zealand dollar, as well
<page> as from short positions in the Mexican peso.  Additional
losses of approximately 1.6% and 1.3% were recorded from long
positions in the British pound and the euro, respectively, as
their values reversed lower versus the U.S. dollar due to the
emphasis on a "strong dollar" policy by the Bush Administration
during July and the persistence of trendless price activity
during August and September.  Losses of approximately 0.9% were
recorded from long positions in the Japanese yen during August
and September as the value of the yen reversed lower relative to
the U.S. dollar amid renewed concerns regarding Japan's economic
woes.  Total expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2002 were $1,277,109, resulting in a net loss of $8,531,364.  The
net asset value of a Unit decreased from $13.84 at June 30, 2002
to $12.36 at September 30, 2002.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership
recorded total trading revenues, including interest income, of
$4,094,126 and, after expenses, posted a decrease in net asset
value per Unit.  The most significant gains of approximately 6.8%
were recorded primarily during May and June from previously
established long positions in the euro as its value strengthened
relative to the U.S. dollar amid falling equity prices, concerns
regarding corporate accounting integrity, and weak U.S. economic
data.  Previously established long positions in the Australian
dollar provided gains of approximately 3.2% as the currency
strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily during March
<page> and May, due to rising gold prices.  Long positions in the
Swiss franc resulted in further gains of approximately 3.2%,
primarily during April, May, and June, as its value strengthened
relative to the U.S. dollar due to weak economic forecasts.
Smaller gains of approximately 2.5% were recorded predominantly
during the second quarter from long positions in the minor
currencies, such as the Norwegian krone.  These gains were
partially offset by losses of approximately 4.8% recorded from
transactions involving the British pound during June, July, and
August as its value fluctuated without consistent direction
versus the U.S. dollar.  Smaller losses of approximately 3.8%
were recorded throughout a majority of the year from transactions
involving the Japanese yen as its value also experienced erratic
movements versus the U.S. dollar amid concerns regarding the
state of Japan's economy.  Total expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 were $4,338,747, resulting in a net loss
of $244,621.  The net asset value of a Unit decreased from $12.41
at December 31, 2001 to $12.36 at September 30, 2002.
<page> Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK

Introduction
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options.  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.

The futures, forwards, and options 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, but not limited to, 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
<page> 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.

Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partner-
ship'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
<page> cash flow.  Profits and losses on open positions of
exchange-traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily
through variation margin.

The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisors 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%.
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 Partnership'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. In other
words, one-day VaR for a portfolio is a number such that losses
<page> for a portfolio are estimated to exceed the VaR only one
day in 100. VaR typically does not represent the worst case
outcome.

VaR is calculated using historical simulation.  Demeter uses
approximately four years of daily market data (1,000
observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma
approximations) for each of the historical market moves that
occurred over this time period.  This generates a probability
distribution of daily "simulated profit and loss" outcomes.  The
VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution.  For
example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst
outcome from Demeter's simulated profit and loss series.

The Partnership's VaR computations are based on the risk
representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or
contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange
dealer-based instruments.  They are also not based on exchange
and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.

VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continually 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 Advisors in their daily risk management activities.
<page> Please further note that VaR as described above may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

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 September 30, 2003 and 2002.
At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $150 million and $77 million,
respectively.

Primary Market		September 30, 2003	  September 30, 2002
Risk Category		   Value at Risk		Value at Risk
Currency				  (2.57)%			   (3.97)%

The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside
risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market
category.  The table above represents the VaR of the Partner-
ship's open positions at September 30, 2003 and 2002 only and is
not necessarily representative of either the historic or future
risk of an investment in the Partnership. Because the only
business of the Partnership is the speculative trading of
futures, forwards, and options, the 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.
<page> The table below supplements the quarter-end VaR set forth
above by presenting the Partnership's high, low, and average VaR,
as a percentage of total net assets for the four quarter-end
reporting periods from October 1, 2002 through September 30,
2003.

Primary Market Risk Category        High      Low      Average
Currency   					(3.91)%	(1.20)%	(2.28)%

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 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:
<page>
?	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 its market risk exposures at September 30, 2003 and 2002, and
for the four quarter-end reporting periods from October 1, 2002
through September 30, 2003.  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.

<page>
Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin.  The Partnership did not have any
foreign currency balances at September 30, 2003.

The Partnership also maintains a substantial portion
(approximately 95% as of September 30, 2003) of its available
assets in cash at Morgan Stanley DW.  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,
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
<page> 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 Advisors 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 expropria-
tions, 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 was the only trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at September 30, 2003.  It may be anticipated,
however, that market exposure will vary materially over time.

Currency.  The Partnership's currency exposure at September 30,
2003 was 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
<page> these fluctuations.  At September 30, 2003, the
Partnership's exposure was to 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.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
At September 30, 2003, there was no non-trading risk exposure
because the Partnership did not have any foreign currency
balances.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisors, 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 Trading Advisors, each of
whose strategies focus on different trading approaches, and
monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisors daily.  In
addition, the Trading Advisors establish diversification
<page> 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 Advisors.

Item 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)	As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report, the President and Chief Financial Officer of

15(e) of the Exchange Act), and have judged such
controls and procedures to be effective.

(b)	There have been no significant changes in the
Partnership's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
