   The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Securities
Incorporated ('PSI'), the Partnership's commodity broker. The Partnership
maintains its trading and cash accounts at PSI. Except for the portion of assets
that is deposited as margin to maintain forward currency contract positions as
further discussed below, the Partnership's assets are maintained either with PSI
or, for margin purposes, with the various exchanges on which the Partnership is
permitted to trade.
 
   The Partnership, acting through its trading managers, executes
over-the-counter, spot, forward and/or option foreign exchange transactions with
PSI. PSI then engages in back-to-back trading with an affiliate,
Prudential-Bache Global Markets Inc. ('PBGM'). PBGM attempts to earn a profit on
such transactions. PBGM keeps its prices on foreign currency competitive with
other interbank trading desks. All over-the-counter currency transactions are
conducted between PSI and the Partnership pursuant to a line of credit. PSI may
require that collateral be posted against the marked-to-market position of the
Partnership.
 
C. Credit and Market Risk
 
   Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options
contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts
(market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of
the contracts (credit risk).
 
   Futures, forward and options contracts involve varying degrees of off-balance
sheet risk; and changes in the level of volatility of interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates or the market values of the contracts (or commodities
underlying the contracts) frequently result in changes in the Partnership's
unrealized gain (loss) on open commodity positions reflected in the statements
of financial condition. The Partnership's exposure to market risk is influenced
by a number of factors including the relationships among the contracts held by
the Partnership as well as the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts
are traded.
                                       4
<PAGE>
   Futures and options contracts are traded on organized exchanges and are thus
distinguished from forward contracts which are entered into privately by the
parties. The credit risks associated with futures and options contracts are
typically perceived to be less than those associated with forward contracts,
because exchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the
collective credit (subject to certain limitations) of the members of the
exchanges is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange. On the
other hand, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its broker (PSI)
with respect to forward transactions. The Partnership presents unrealized gains
and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of
financial condition because it has a master netting agreement with PSI.
 
   The General Partner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by
requiring the Partnership's trading managers to abide by various trading
limitations and policies. The General Partner monitors compliance with these
trading limitations and policies which include, but are not limited to,
executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties (currently,
PSI is the sole counterparty or broker); limiting the amount of margin or
premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and
generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient
volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. The General Partner
may impose additional restrictions (through modifications of such trading
limitations and policies) upon the trading activities of the trading managers as
it, in good faith, deems to be in the best interest of the Partnership.
 
   PSI, when acting as the Partnership's futures commission merchant in
accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures and options
contracts, is required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC')
regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the
Partnership all assets of the Partnership relating to domestic futures and
options trading and is not to commingle such assets with other assets of PSI. At
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, such segregated assets totalled
$21,818,474 and $22,947,166, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations
also requires PSI to secure assets of the Partnership related to foreign futures
and options trading which totalled $6,850,380 and $9,499,572 at March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for
assets related to forward trading.
 
   As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership's open futures, forward and options
contracts mature within one year.
 
   At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, gross contract amounts of open
futures, forward and options contracts are:

   The gross contract amounts represent the Partnership's potential involvement
in a particular class of financial instrument (if it were to take or make
delivery on an underlying futures, forward or options contract). The gross
contract amounts significantly exceed the future cash requirements as the
Partnership intends to close out open positions prior to settlement and thus is
generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value
of the contracts. As such, the Partnership considers the 'fair value' of its
futures, forward and options contracts to be the net unrealized gain or loss on
the contracts (plus premiums on options). Thus, the amount at risk associated
with counterparty nonperformance of all contracts is the net unrealized gain
included in the statements of financial condition. The market risk associated
with the

Partnership's commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross
contract amounts involved, while the market risk associated with its commitments
to sell is unlimited since the Partnership's potential involvement is to make
delivery of an underlying commodity at the contract price; therefore, it must
repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices.
 
   At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the fair value of open futures,
forward and options contracts was:

                            (a limited partnership)
           ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   The Partnership commenced trading operations on October 6, 1989 with gross
proceeds of $101,010,000. After accounting for organizational and offering
costs, the Partnership's net proceeds were $99,010,000.
 
   At March 31, 1998, 100% of the Partnership's total net assets (the 'Net Asset
Value') was allocated to commodities trading. A significant portion of the Net
Asset Value was held in U.S. Treasury bills (which represented approximately 76%
of the Net Asset Value prior to redemptions payable) and cash, which are used as
margin for the Partnership's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the sole
business of the Partnership is to trade in commodities, the Partnership
continues to own such liquid assets to be used as margin.
 
   The percentage that U.S. Treasury bills bears to the total net assets varies
each day, and from month to month, as the market values of commodity interests
change. The balance of the total net assets is held in cash. All interest earned
on the Partnership's interest-bearing funds is paid to the Partnership.
 
   The commodities contracts are subject to periods of illiquidity because of
market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example,
commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity futures contract
prices during a single day by regulations referred to as 'daily limits.' During
a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once
the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures 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 commodity
futures positions.
 
   Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options
contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts
(market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of
the contracts (credit risk). The general partner attempts to minimize these
risks by requiring the Partnership's trading managers to abide by various
trading limitations and policies. See Note C to the financial statements for a
further discussion on the credit and market risks associated with the
Partnership's futures, forward and options contracts.
 
   Redemptions by limited partners and the general partner recorded for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 were $390,573 and $3,839, respectively, and
from commencement of operations, October 6, 1989, through March 31, 1998,
totalled $118,707,761 and $1,744,869, respectively. Future redemptions will
impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in
subsequent periods.
 
   The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital
assets.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The net asset value per Unit as of March 31, 1998 was $239.91, a decrease of
7.61% from the December 31, 1997 net asset value per Unit of $259.66.
 
   January's negative performance resulted from losses in the currency, index,
metal, meat and grain sectors, which were partially offset by gains in the
financial, energy and soft sectors. In the currency sector, investor optimism
over efforts to revive ailing Asian economies boosted the Japanese yen against
the U.S. dollar, resulting in losses for the Partnership. Positions in the
Australian dollar also experienced losses. Positions in the British pound were
unprofitable as well, as the pound sank lower against other major currencies on
the Bank of England's decision to leave a key interest rate unchanged. Index
sector positions were unprofitable as Asian investor optimism supported the
Nikkei causing losses for the Partnership's short positions. Metal sector
positions incurred losses as the gold market experienced a reversal. Positions
in both zinc and lead lost value as well. On the positive side, the
Partnership's financial sector positions gained as European bond markets
benefited from reduced inflation concerns. In particular, German, French,
British, Eurodollar and Italian bonds profited. Additionally, positions in U.S.
Treasuries profited as some yields reached all-time lows. Positions in the
energy sector profited as increasing tensions in the Middle East
 
                                       8

pushed prices up, despite ample inventory levels. Lastly, in the soft sector,
the Partnership recognized gains from cotton positions.
 
   February's negative performance resulted from losses in the financial,
currency, energy and grain sectors, which were partially offset by gains in the
metal, index, meat and soft sectors. In the financial sector, profitable trading
in European bonds failed to offset losses in long- and short-term U.S. interest
rate positions. Positions in the Eurodollar, Japanese, British and Australian
bonds were unprofitable as well. Currency sector losses were driven, in part, by
shifting trends in the Asian markets and generally rangebound trading in other
currencies. Although by month's end investors were again viewing Asian markets
with caution, sentiment toward the region had been relatively positive for much
of the month. This was particularly the case in Japan, where the yen benefited
from expectations of a stimulus package from the government resulting in losses
for the Partnership's short positions. Swiss franc/deutsche mark and Japanese
yen/deutsche mark crossrate positions were unprofitable as well. Long silver
positions in the metal sector profited the Partnership. This was due, in part,
to heavy buying by a major investor which drove prices higher. Positions in
aluminum and copper generated profits as well.
 
   March's negative performance resulted from losses in the metal, financial,
soft, grain and meat sectors, which were partially offset by gains in the
currency, index and energy sectors. In the metal sector, the Partnership
incurred losses in short gold positions as a strong housing report renewed fears
of U.S. inflation, generating interest in gold as a inflationary hedge. Silver
positions also lost value as prices fell in the beginning of the month, only to
rebound towards month end. The financial sector was unprofitable for the
Partnership, which held losing positions in the U.S. long bond, Australian
10-year, Japanese, British three month and Euromark bonds. Gains in the currency
sector helped to offset overall Partnership losses during March. A late-month
surge in the U.S. dollar combined with continued weakness in the Swiss franc and
Japanese yen resulted in solid foreign exchange profits. Crossrate positions
which recognized gains included the Japanese yen/British pound and Swiss
franc/British pound. Index sector gains were derived from long positions in the
German DAX and S&P 500. Light crude oil and natural gas positions in the energy
sector advanced as well.
 
   Commissions are calculated on the Net Asset Value on the first day of each
month and, therefore, vary based on monthly trading performance and redemptions.
Commissions decreased by approximately $29,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 principally due to the effect of
weak first quarter 1998 trading performance on the monthly Net Asset Values.
 
   All trading decisions are currently being made by John W. Henry & Company,
Inc., Welton Investment System Corp. and Eclipse Capital Management (the
'Trading Managers'). Management fees are calculated on the Net Asset Value
allocated to each Trading Manager as of the end of each month and, therefore,
are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Management fees decreased
by approximately $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared
to the same period in 1997 primarily due to fluctuations in monthly Net Asset
Values as described above.
 
   Incentive fees are based on the New High Net Trading Profits generated by
each Trading Manager, as defined in each Advisory Agreement among the
Partnership, the General Partner and each Trading Manager. Despite overall
Partnership trading losses during the three months ended March 31, 1998, Welton
Investment System Corp. generated sufficient trading profits to earn incentive
fees of approximately $8,000. No incentive fees were generated by the Trading
Managers during the three months ended March 31, 1997.
