     A.  General Description of the Partnership

         Alternative Asset Growth Fund, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware
         limited partnership which operates as a commodity investment pool.

     B.  Regulation

         As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
         Partnership is subject to the regulatory requirements under the
         Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934.  As a commodity investment pool,
         the Partnership is subject to the regulations of the Commodity
         Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.)
         government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures
         industry, rules of the National Futures Association, an industry
         self-regulatory organization, and the requirements of commodity
         exchanges and Futures Commission Merchants (brokers) through which
         the Partnership trades.

     C.  Method of Reporting

         The Partnership's financial statements are presented in accordance
         with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use
         of certain estimates made by the Partnership's management.  Gains or
         losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Net unrealized gain
         or loss on open contracts (the difference between contract purchase
         price and market price) is reported in the statement of financial
         condition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
         Interpretation No. 39 - "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain
         Contracts."  Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the
         preceding period is reported in the statement of operations.

         fixed income securities.

         expense when contracts are opened.

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         (CONTINUED)

     F.  Income Taxes

         The Partnership prepares calendar year U.S. and state information
         tax returns and reports to the partners their allocable shares of the
         Partnership's income, expenses and trading gains or losses.

     G.  Foreign Currency Transactions

         The Partnership's functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it
         transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Assets
         and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar
         are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of
         the statement of financial condition.  Income and expense items
         denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated
         into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period.  Gains and
         losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in
         income currently.

Note 2.  GENERAL PARTNER

         The General Partner of the Partnership is ProFutures, Inc., which
         conducts and manages the business of the Partnership.  The General
         Partner is required by the Agreement of Limited Partnership to
         contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to at least 1% of the
         aggregate capital contributions of all partners, but not less than
         $100,000.  As of March 31, 1997, $365,900 has been contributed to the
         Partnership by the General Partner and its principals.

         The Agreement of Limited Partnership also requires that the General
         Partner, at all times after the Partnership commences trading and so
         long as it remains General Partner of the Partnership, maintain a net
         worth not less than the sum of (i) the lesser of $250,000 or 15% of
         the aggregate capital contributions of any limited partnerships for
         which it acts as a General Partner if such contributions are equal
         to or less than $2,500,000; and (ii) 10% of the aggregate capital
         contributions of any limited partnerships for which it shall act
         as a General Partner if such contributions exceed $2,500,000.

         ProFutures, Inc. has callable subscription agreements with
         Internationale Nederlanden (U.S.) Derivatives Clearing, Inc. (ING),
         whereby ING agrees to purchase or subscribe to (up to $19,000,090)
         the number of shares of common stock of ProFutures, Inc. necessary
         to maintain the General Partner net worth requirements.

         commodity trading advisors to furnish investment management services
         to the Partnership.  Certain advisors receive management fees ranging
         from .2% to 2.8% annually of allocated Net Asset Value.  In addition,
         the trading advisors receive quarterly incentive fees ranging from 20%
         to 29% of Trading Profits (as defined in the trading advisory
         contracts) on that portion of the Partnership's assets which they
         direct.

Note 4.  DEPOSITS WITH BROKERS

         The Partnership deposits funds with brokers subject to Commodity
         Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and
         broker requirements.  Margin requirements are satisfied by the
         deposit of cash with such brokers.  The Partnership earns interest
         income on its assets deposited with the brokers.

Note 5.  OTHER FEES

         The Partnership employs a Consultant who is paid a monthly fee of
         1/6 of 1% (2% annually) of month-end Net Asset Value for
         administrative services rendered to the Partnership.

         The Partnership's Trading Manager receives a monthly fee of 1/12
         of 1% (1% annually) of month-end Net Asset Value for management
         services rendered to the Partnership.

Note 6.  DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

         The Partnership is not required to make distributions, but may do
         so at the sole discretion of the General Partner.  A Limited Partner
         may request and receive redemption of units owned, subject to
         restrictions in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

                              -----------



Note 7.  TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS

         The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and
         foreign futures contracts and options on U.S. and foreign futures
         contracts (collectively, "derivatives").  These derivatives include
         both financial and non-financial contracts held as part of a
         diversified trading strategy.  The Partnership is exposed to both
         market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of
         the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party
         to perform according to the terms of a contract.

         Purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts
         requires margin deposits with the brokers.  Additional deposits may
         be necessary for any loss on contract value.  The Commodity Exchange
         Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and
         assets from such broker's proprietary activities.  A customer's cash
         and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with
         a broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds
         subject to the broker's segregation requirements.  In the event of
         a broker's insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share
         of segregated funds available.  It is possible that the recovered
         amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited.

         The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit
         with financial institutions in connection with its cash management
         activities. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency,
         recovery of Partnership assets on deposit may be limited to account
         insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.  In the normal
         course of business, the Partnership does not require collateral from
         such financial institutions.

         For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the
         contracts.  Theoretically, the Partnership is exposed to a market risk
         equal to the value of futures contracts purchased and unlimited
         liability on such contracts sold short.  As both a buyer and seller
         of options, the Partnership pays or receives a premium at the outset
         and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the
         contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Partnership
         to potentially unlimited liability, and purchased options expose the
         Partnership to a risk of loss limited to the premiums paid.

         The fair value of derivatives represents unrealized gains and losses
         on open futures contracts and long and short options at market value.
         The average fair value of derivatives during the three months ended
         March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $1,010,000 and $450,000,
         respectively, and the fair value as of March 31, 1997 and
         December 31, 1996 was approximately $1,499,000 and $34,000,
         respectively.

Note 7.  TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

         Net trading results from derivatives for the three months ended
         March 31, 1997 and 1996 are reflected in the statement of operations
         and equal gain (loss) from trading less brokerage commissions.
         Such trading results reflect the net gain (loss) arising from the
         Partnership's speculative trading of futures contracts and options
         on futures contracts.

         Open contracts generally mature within one year, however, the
         Partnership intends to close all contracts prior to maturity.  At
         March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the notional amount of open
         contracts is as follows:

         The above amounts do not represent the Partnership's risk of loss due
         to market and credit risk, but rather represent the Partnership's

         financial condition.

Note 7.  TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

         The General Partner has established procedures to actively monitor
         and minimize market and credit risk.  The Limited Partners bear the
         risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their
         respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances,
         distributions and redemptions received.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

         A.  LIQUIDITY:  The Registrant is very liquid in that it holds its
             assets in cash or near cash investments.

         B.  CAPITAL RESOURCES:  Since the Registrant's business is the
             purchase and sale of various commodity interests, it will make
             few, if any, capital expenditures.  Except as it impacts the
             commodity markets, inflation is not a significant factor in the
             Fund's profitability.

         C.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  On March 7, 1990 the Registrant commenced
             trading operations with a beginning equity of $4,384,536.  The
             Registrant's offering of Units of Limited Partnership Interest
             terminated on May 30, 1991.

             During 1990 the Registrant earned $911,948.  The Registrant lost
             $1,846,137 in 1992 as compared to earnings of $1,046,330 for 1991.
             For 1993 the Registrant had net income of $2,433,194 as compared
             to net income of $98,340 for 1994.  The Registrant had a net loss
             of $985,673 in 1995 as compared to net income of $833,088 for 1996.
             For the quarter ended March 31, 1997 the Registrant had net income
             of $1,108,121 as compared to a net loss of $1,032,875 for the
             quarter ended March 31, 1996.

             The Fund's income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 resulted
             from significant January gains in the foreign currency
             markets, as well as February gains in the energy, metal and
             grain markets and March gains in grain, equity indices and
             interest rate markets.  These gains were slightly reduced by
             losses in the month of January in the non-U.S. interest rate
             market, February losses in non-U.S. equity indices and March
             losses in the foreign currency, metals and energy markets.

             The Fund's losses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 resulted
             from significant February losses in the bond and interest rate
             markets, as well as February losses in the energy, metal and
             grain markets.  The February losses were slightly offset by
             gains in the months of January and March in the interest rate,
             currency and precious metals markets.

             There were no unusual or infrequent events which materially
             affected the Registrant's operations.  The Net Asset Value per
             Unit as of March 31, 1997 was $1,325.24, and the total Net Asset
             Value of the Fund amounted to $19,448,661 as compared to a Net
             Asset Value per Unit of $1,251.26 as of December 31, 1996 and
             a total Net Asset Value of $18,870,133.  Due to the speculative
             nature of trading commodity interests, the Registrant's earnings
             and Net Asset Value may fluctuate widely from month to month and
             year to year.

             The General Partner has established procedures to actively
             monitor and minimize the market and credit risk of the Fund.
             ATA Research, Inc. (ATA), in its capacity as Trading Manager of
             the Fund, manages market risk through the monitoring of the
             Fund's advisors and their trading in the various commodity
             markets.  The General Partner seeks to minimize credit risk
             primarily by keeping only minimal amounts of excess cash at the
             brokers, with excess cash being maintained in custodial or other
             accounts providing credit protection.  Additionally, the General
             Partner monitors credit risk based on is current knowledge of
             the brokers' credit worthiness.

         D.  POSSIBLE CHANGES:  The General Partner reserves the right to
             terminate and/or engage additional commodity trading advisors in
             the future and reserves the right to change any of the
             Registrant's clearing arrangements to accommodate any new
             commodity trading advisors.
