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").

           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 March 31, 1998 and the results of its operations for the
three months ended March 31, 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.

           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 March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $42,318 and $254,044,  respectively, and
the average  fair value  during the three  months  then ended,  based on monthly
calculation was $63,336 and $286,887, 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

                                                         6

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 March 31, 1998, the notional or contractual
amounts  of the Partnership's commitment to purchase and sell these instruments
was $13,721,329

                                                         7

and  $10,212,130,  respectively,  as detailed  below.  All of these  instruments
mature  within  one year of March 31,  1998.  However,  due to the nature of the
Partnership's business,  these instruments may not be held to maturity. At March
31, 1998, the fair value of the  Partnership's  derivatives,  including  options
thereon, was $42,318 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
first 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 three months ended March 31, 1998, Partnership capital decreased
5.4% from $7,072,342 to $6,690,274.  This decrease was  attributable to net loss
from operations of $21,970 coupled with the redemption of 285 Units resulting in
an outflow of $360,098  during the three  months  ended March 31,  1998.  Future
redemptions  can  impact  the  amount  of funds  available  for  investments  in
commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.

Results of Operations

        During the Partnership's  first quarter of 1998, the net asset value per
Unit decreased 0.3% from $1,267.44 to $1,263.51 as compared to the first quarter
of 1997 in which the net asset value per Unit increased  6.1%.  The  Partnership
experienced  a net trading  loss before  commissions  and  expenses in the first
quarter of 1998 of $36,230. Losses were recognized in the trading of currencies,
U.S.  interest  rates,  grains,  livestock,  metals and softs and were partially
offset by gains in non-U.S.  interest rates,  indices and energy  products.  The
Partnership  experienced a net trading gain before  commissions  and expenses in
the first quarter of 1997 of $570,378.  Gains were  recognized in the trading of
softs,  metals,  grains,  currencies  and indices and were  partially  offset by
losses in livestock, energy products and interest rates.

        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

                                                        10

<PAGE>



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
months  ended  March  31,  1998  decreased  by  $10,652,   as  compared  to  the
corresponding  period 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 months ended March 31, 1998  decreased by $12,314,  as compared to the
corresponding period 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 months ended
March 31, 1998 decreased by $2,913, as compared to the  corresponding  period 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 months ended
March  31,  1998  and  1997  resulted  in  incentive  fees of $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

                                                        12

                 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 is
                 pending.

                 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 Sterns & Co. Inc. et al.)
                 Has been stayed by agreement of the parties.
