                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)

1. General

        F-1000  Futures Fund L.P.,  Series IX (the  "Partnership")  is a limited
partnership organized under the laws of the State of New York on August 25, 1992
to engage in the  speculative  trading of a  diversified  portfolio of commodity
interests  including  futures  contracts,  options  and forward  contracts.  The
commodity  interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve
a high degree of market risk. The Partnership  maintains a portion of its assets
in interest  payments  stripped from U.S.  Treasury  Bonds under the  Treasury's
STRIPS program for which payments are due  approximately six years from the date
trading commenced ("Zero  Coupons").  The Partnership uses such Zero Coupons and
its other assets to margin its commodities  account.  The Partnership  commenced
trading on March 9, 1993.

       Smith Barney  Futures  Management  Inc. acts as the general  partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), an affiliate of
the General Partner,  acts as commodity broker for the Partnership.  All trading
decisions are made for the Partnership by Trendview  Management,  Inc. and Rabar
Market Research,  Inc.  (collectively,  the  "Advisors").  On November 28, 1997,
Smith Barney  Holdings  Inc.  was merged with Salomon Inc to form Salomon  Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"),  a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group. SB
is a wholly owned subsidiary of SSBH.

        The accompanying  financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion
of management,  include all  adjustments  (consisting  only of normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary for a fair presentation of the  Partnership's  financial
condition at June 30, 1998 and the results of its  operations  for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. These financial  statements present the
results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures  normally provided
in annual financial statements.  It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes included in the
Partnership's  annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997.

        Due to the nature of commodity  trading,  the results of operations  for
the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

3. Trading Activities:

        The  Partnership  was formed for the purpose of trading  contracts  in a
variety of commodity interests,  including derivative financial  instruments and
derivative  commodity  instruments.  The  results of the  Partnership's  trading
activity are shown in the statement of income and expenses.

        The  Customer  Agreement  between  the  Partnership  and  SB  gives  the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.

        All of the commodity  interests  owned by the  Partnership  are held for
trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options
thereon,  at June 30, 1998 and  December  31,  1997 was  $50,192  and  $189,234,
respectively,  and the average fair value during the six and twelve  months then
ended, based on monthly calculation was $42,839 and $210,449, respectively.

4. Financial Instrument Risk:

        The  Partnership  is party to  financial  instruments  with off- balance
sheet risk, including derivative financial  instruments and derivative commodity
instruments,  in the normal course of its business.  These financial instruments
include forwards,  futures and options,  whose value is based upon an underlying
asset,  index, or reference rate, and generally  represent future commitments to
exchange  currencies  or  cash  flows,  to  purchase  or  sell  other  financial
instruments  at specific  terms at specified  future  dates,  or, in the case of
derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled
in cash or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on
an  exchange  or over-the  counter  ("OTC").  Exchange  traded  instruments  are
standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are
negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options.
Each of these  instruments  is subject to various risks similar to those related
to the underlying  financial  instruments  including  market and credit risk. In
general,  the  risks  associated  with OTC  contracts  are  greater  than  those
associated  with  exchange  traded  instruments  because of the greater  risk of
default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.

        Market risk is the  potential  for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes,  including interest
and foreign  exchange rate movements and  fluctuations  in commodity or security
prices.  Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.

        Credit risk is the possibility  that a loss may occur due to the failure
of a counterparty to perform  according to the terms of a contract.  Credit risk
with  respect to exchange  traded  instruments  is reduced to the extent that an
exchange or clearing  organization  acts as a counterparty to the  transactions.
The Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically
limited to the amounts  recognized in the  statement of financial  condition and
not  represented  by the contract or notional  amounts of the  instruments.  The
Partnership has concentration  risk because the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership's assets is SB.

        The  General  Partner  monitors  and  controls  the  Partnership's  risk
exposure  on a  daily  basis  through  financial,  credit  and  risk  management
monitoring systems and,  accordingly  believes that it has effective  procedures
for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership
is subject.  These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically
analyze actual  trading  results with risk adjusted  performance  indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition,  on-line monitoring systems provide account
analysis  of  futures,   forwards  and  options  positions  by  sector,   margin
requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

        The  notional or  contractual  amounts of these  instruments,  while not
recorded in the financial  statements,  reflect the extent of the  Partnership's
involvement in these instruments.  At June 30, 1998, the notional or contractual
amounts of the  Partnership's  commitment to purchase and sell these instruments
was $13,572,293 and $11,628,794,  respectively,  as detailed below. All of these
instruments mature within one year of June 30, 1998. However,  due to the nature
of the Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At
June 30,  1998,  the  fair  value of the  Partnership's  derivatives,  including
options thereon, was $50,192 as detailed below.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Its only
assets are its equity in its commodity  futures trading  account,  consisting of
cash  and  cash   equivalents,   Zero  Coupons,   net  unrealized   appreciation
(depreciation)  on open  futures and forward  contracts,  commodity  options and
interest  receivable.  Because of the low margin deposits  normally  required in
commodity  futures  trading,  relatively  small  price  movements  may result in
substantial losses to the Partnership.  While substantial losses could lead to a
substantial  decrease in liquidity no such losses occurred in the  Partnership's
second quarter of 1998.

      The Partnership's capital consists of capital contributions,  as increased
or decreased by gains or losses on commodity  futures  trading and Zero Coupons,
expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of profits, if
any.

      For the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  Partnership  capital  decreased
10.9% from $7,072,342 to $6,303,054.  This decrease was attributable to net loss
from operations of $47,972 coupled with the redemption of 572 Units resulting in
an  outflow of  $721,316  during the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998.  Future
redemptions  can  impact  the  amount  of funds  available  for  investments  in
commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.

Operational Risk

      The General Partner  administers  the business of the Partnership  through
various  systems and processes  maintained by SSBH. SSBH has analyzed the impact
of the year 2000 on its systems and processes and  modifications  for compliance
are  proceeding  according to plan.  All  modifications  necessary for year 2000
compliance  are expected to be completed by the first  quarter of 1999.  In July
1998, SB participated  in successful  industry-wide  testing  coordinated by the
Securities  Industry  Association  and plans to participate in such tests in the
future.  The  purpose of  industry-wide  testing is to confirm  that  exchanges,
clearing organizations,  and other securities industry participants are prepared
for the year 2000.  The failure of vendors,  clients,  or  regulators to resolve
their  own Year  2000  compliance  issues  in a timely  manner  could  result in
material financial risk to the Partnership.

Results of Operations

      During the  Partnership's  second quarter of 1998, the net asset value per
Unit  decreased  0.4% from  $1,263.51  to  $1,258.60  as  compared to the second
quarter  of 1997 in which  the net  asset  value per Unit  decreased  1.7%.  The
Partnership  experienced a net trading loss before  commissions  and expenses in
the second quarter of 1998 of $38,579.  Losses were recognized in the trading of
currencies, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, energy products and softs and were
partially  offset  by  gains in  metals,  livestock,  indices  and  grains.  The
Partnership  experienced a net trading loss before  commissions  and expenses in
the second quarter of 1997 of $193,542. Losses were recognized in the trading of
livestock,  metals,  grains,  currencies,  U.S. and non-U.S.  interest rates and
energy products and were partially offset by gains in indices and softs.

      Commodity  futures markets are highly volatile.  Broad price  fluctuations
and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity  trading,  but also
increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends
on the  existence  of major  price  trends and the  ability of the  Advisors  to
identify  correctly  those price trends.  Price trends are  influenced by, among
other things, changing supply and demand relationships,  weather,  governmental,
agricultural,   commercial  and  trade  programs  and  policies,   national  and
international  political and economic  events and changes in interest  rates. To
the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify  them,
the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.

   Interest income on 75% of the  Partnership's  daily average equity maintained
in cash was earned on the monthly average 13-week U.S. Treasury bill yield. Also
included in interest  income is the  amortization  of original issue discount on
the Zero Coupons based on the interest method. Interest income for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased by $13,779 and $24,431, respectively as
compared to the  corresponding  periods in 1997. The decrease in interest income
is primarily due to the effect of redemptions on the Partnership's  Zero Coupons
and equity maintained in cash.

      Brokerage  commissions  are  calculated on the adjusted net asset value on
the last day of each month and, therefore, vary according to trading performance
and  redemptions.  Accordingly,  they  must  be  compared  in  relation  to  the
fluctuations in the monthly net asset values.  Commissions and clearing fees for
the three and six months  ended June 30, 1998  decreased  by $7,347 and $19,661,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997.

      All trading decisions for the Partnership are currently being
made by the Advisors.  Management fees are calculated as a

                                      10

<PAGE>



percentage of the  Partnership's net asset value as of the end of each month and
are affected by trading  performance  and  redemptions.  Management fees for the
three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1998  decreased  by $2,577  and  $5,490,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997.

      Incentive  fees are based on the new  trading  profits  generated  by each
Advisor as defined in the  advisory  agreements  between  the  Partnership,  the
General  Partner and each  Advisor.  Trading  performance  for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 resulted in incentive fees of $0, $0, $0 and
$50,954, respectively.

                           PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

            Between May 1994 and the present,  Salomon Brothers Inc. ("SBI"), SB
            and The Robinson  Humphrey  Company,  Inc.  ("R- H"), all  currently
            subsidiaries of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBHI"),  along
            with a number of other  broker-dealers,  were named as defendants in
            approximately   25  federal  court  lawsuits  and  two  state  court
            lawsuits,  principally  alleging that companies that make markets in
            securities  traded on NASDAQ violated the federal  antitrust laws by
            conspiring to maintain a minimum  spread of $.25 between the bid and
            asked price for certain  securities.  The federal  lawsuits  and one
            state court case were  consolidated  for  pre-trial  purposes in the
            Southern  District of New York in the fall of 1994 under the caption
            In re  NASDAQ  Market-Makers  Antitrust  Litigation,  United  States
            District Court, Southern District of New York No. 94-CIV-3996 (RWS);
            M.D.L.  No.  1023.  The other state court suit,  Lawrence A. Abel v.
            Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. et al.;  Superior Court of San Diego, Case
            No. 677313, has been dismissed without prejudice in conjunction with
            a tolling agreement.

            In consolidated  action, the plaintiffs purport to represent a class
            of persons who bought one or more of what they currently estimate to
            be approximately  1,650 securities on NASDAQ between May 1, 1989 and
            May 27, 1994. They seek unspecified monetary damages, which would be
            trebled  under  the  antitrust   laws.  The  plaintiffs   also  seek
            injunctive  relief,  as well as attorney's fees and the costs of the
            action.  (The state cases seek similar  relief.)  Plaintiffs  in the
            consolidated  action filed an amended  consolidated  complaint  that
            defendants  answered in December  1995.  On November 26,  1996,  the
            Court certified a class composed of retail  purchasers.  A motion to
            include  institutional  investors  in the  class  and  to add  class
            representatives  was  granted.  In December  1997,  SBI, SB and R-H,
            along  with  several  other  broker-dealer  defendants,  executed  a
            settlement  agreement with the  plaintiffs.  This agreement has been
            preliminarily  approved by the U.S.  District Court for the Southern
            District of New York but is subject to final approval.

            On July 17,  1996,  the  Antitrust  Division  of the  Department  of
            Justice  filed a  complaint  against a number  of firms  that act as
            market makers in NASDAQ stocks. The complaint basically alleged that
            a common understanding arose among NASDAQ market makers which worked
            to keep

                                      13

<PAGE>



            quote spreads in NASDAQ stocks  artificially  wide.  Contemporaneous
            with the  filing of the  complaint,  SBI,  SB and  other  defendants
            entered into a stipulated  settlement  agreement,  pursuant to which
            the  defendants  would  agree  not to engage  in  certain  practices
            relating to the quoting of NASDAQ securities and would further agree
            to implement a program to ensure  compliance with federal  antitrust
            laws and with the  terms of the  settlement.  In  entering  into the
            stipulated settlement, SBI and SB did not admit any liability. There
            are no fines,  penalties,  or other payments of monies in connection
            with the settlement.  In April 1997, the U.S. District Court for the
            Southern District of New York approved the settlement.  In May 1997,
            plaintiffs  in the  related  civil  action  (who were  permitted  to
            intervene  for  limited  purposes)  appealed  the  district  court's
            approval of the settlement.  The appeal was argued in March 1998 and
            was affirmed in August 1998.

            The Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC") is also conducting a
            review of the NASDAQ  marketplace,  during  which it has  subpoenaed
            documents and taken the testimony of various  individuals  including
            SBI and SB  personnel.  In July 1996,  the SEC reached a  settlement
            with the National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers and issued a
            report  detailing  certain  conclusions with respect to the NASD and
            the NASDAQ market.

            In December 1996, a complaint seeking  unspecified  monetary damages
            was filed by Orange County,  California  against numerous  brokerage
            firms,  including SB, in the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court for the Central
            District of California.  Plaintiff alleged, among other things, that
            the  defendants   recommended  and  sold  to  plaintiff   unsuitable
            securities.  The case (County of Orange et al. v. Bear Stearns & Co.
            Inc. et al.) had been  subject to a stay by agreement of the parties
            which will expire on August 21, 1998.
