                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 nine 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.  On September 1, 1998, the Partnership's
commodity  broker,  Smith  Barney  Inc.,  merged with  Salomon  Brothers Inc and
changed its name to Salomon  Smith Barney Inc.  ("SSB").  SSB is an affiliate of
the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Salomon Smith Barney
Holdings Inc.  ("SSBH"),  which is the sole owner of SSB. SSBH is a wholly owned
subsidiary  of  Travelers  Group Inc.  All  trading  decisions  are made for the

           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 September 30, 1998 and the results of its operations for
the three and nine months ended  September  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 SSB  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 September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $292,610 and $189,234,
respectively,  and the average fair value during the nine and twelve months then
ended, based on monthly calculation was $122,926 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

                                                         6

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 SSB.

         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

September 30, 1998,  the notional or  contractual  amounts of the  Partnership's
commitment  to  purchase  and  sell  these   instruments   was  $33,480,168  and
$1,520,558,  respectively,  as detailed below. All of these  instruments  mature
within  one year of  September  30,  1998.  However,  due to the  nature  of the
Partnership's  business,  these  instruments  may not be held  to  maturity.  At
September 30, 1998, the fair value of the Partnership's  derivatives,  including
options thereon, was $292,610, 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
third 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 nine months  ended  September  30,  1998,  Partnership  capital
decreased 4.3% from $7,072,342 to $6,770,212.  This decrease was attributable to
the  redemption  of 665 Units  resulting  in an  outflow of  $849,420  which was
partially  offset by net income of operations of $547,290 during the nine months
ended  September  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, SSB 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 most likely and most significant risk to the Partnership associated
with the lack of year 2000  readiness  is the failure of outside  organizations,
including the commodities  exchanges,  clearing organizations or regulators with
which the  Partnership  interacts to resolve  their year 2000 issues in a timely
manner.  This risk could  involve the  inability to  determine  the value of the
Partnership  at some  point  in time  and  would  make  effecting  purchases  or
redemptions of Units in the Partnership infeasible

                                                         9

until such valuation was determinable.

         In  addition,  the  General  Partner is  addressing  the  technological
implications that will result from regulatory and market changes due to Europe's
Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU").

         Risks to the Partnership  exist in the lack of experience with this new
currency and the potential impact it can have on the Advisors' trading programs.
Risks  also  exist  in  the  failure  of  external  information  technology  and
accounting  systems to  adequately  prepare  for the  conversion.  This issue is
particularly   acute  in  the  area  of  the  exchanges,   clearing  houses  and
over-the-counter  foreign  exchange  markets  where the  futures  interests  are
traded. If the necessary changes are not properly  implemented,  the Partnership
could suffer failed trade settlements,  inability to reconcile trading positions
and funding  disruptions.  Such events could result in erroneous  entries in the
Partnership's  accounts,  mispriced  transactions,  and a delay or  inability to
provide  timely  pricing of Units for the  purpose of  effecting  purchases  and
redemptions.

         SSB has evaluated its internal  systems and made the necessary  changes
to  accommodate  EMU  transactions  on behalf of the  Partnership.  The  General
Partner will continue to monitor and  communicate  with the Advisors and related
third-party  entities to assure  preparation for the EMU conversion and advanced
notification of impending issues or problems.


Results of Operations

         During the Partnership's third quarter of 1998, the net asset value per
Unit increased 9.4% from $1,258.60 to $1,377.46 as compared to the third quarter
of 1997 in which the net asset value per Unit increased  3.2%.  The  Partnership
experienced a net trading gain before brokerage  commissions and related fees in
the third quarter of 1998 of $577,610.  Gains were  recognized in the trading of
currencies, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock,  indices and energy and
were partially offset by losses in metals and softs. The Partnership experienced
a net trading gain before  brokerage  commissions  and related fees in the third
quarter of 1997 of $196,859.  Gains were  recognized  in the trading of indices,
currencies,  U.S.  and  non-U.S.  interest  rates and metals and were  partially
offset by losses in grains, energy products, livestock 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

                                                        10

<PAGE>



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 nine months  ended  September  30, 1998  decreased  by $14,579 and
$39,010,  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 fees for the three
and nine months  ended  September  30, 1998  decreased  by $15,487 and  $35,148,
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  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 nine
months ended September 30, 1998 decreased by $1,793 and $7,283, 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 nine
months ended  September 30, 1998 resulted in incentive fees of $19,708.  Trading
performance  for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1997 resulted in
incentive fees of $0 and $50,954, respectively.

                 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

                                                        13

                 arose among  NASDAQ  market  makers  which worked to keep 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.) has   been  stayed   by
                 agreement of the parties.
