Item 1. Business.

         (a) General  development of business.  F-1000 Futures Fund L.P., Series
IX (the  "Partnership")  is a limited  partnership  organized on August 25, 1992
under the Partnership Laws of the State of New York. The Partnership  engages in
speculative  trading of  commodity  interests,  including  forward  contracts on
foreign  currencies,  commodity  options,  if applicable,  and commodity futures
contracts  including  futures  contracts on United States Treasuries and certain
other  financial   instruments,   foreign  currencies  and  stock  indices.  The
Partnership maintains a portion of its assets in principal amounts stripped from
U.S.  Treasury Bonds under the Treasury's  STRIPS program ("Zero Coupons") which
payments will be due May 15, 1999. The Partnership uses the Zero Coupons and its
other assets to margin its commodities account.
         A  total  of  50,000  Units  of  Limited  Partnership  Interest  in the
Partnership (the "Units") were offered to the public.  A Registration  Statement
on Form S-1 relating to the public offering of 50,000 units became  effective on
August 25, 1992.  Between November 24, 1992 and March 8, 1993, 23,755 Units were
sold to the public at $1,000 per Unit.  Proceeds of the offering  along with the
General  Partners'  contribution  of $249,000 were held in escrow until March 9,
1993  at  which  time  an  aggregate  of  $24,005,000  was  turned  over  to the
Partnership and the Partnership  commenced trading  operations.  Redemptions for
the years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996 are reported in the Statement
of  Partners'  Capital  on page F-6  under  "Item 8.  Financial  Statements  and
Supplementary Data".

                                    2

         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.  On October 8, 1998
Travelers Group Inc. merged with Citicorp Inc. and changed its name to Citigroup
Inc. SSBH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
         The  Partnership's  trading of futures contracts on commodities is done
on United  States and foreign  commodity  exchanges.  It engages in such trading
through a commodity  brokerage  account  maintained  with SSB. Under the Limited
Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the "Limited Partnership  Agreement"),
the General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Partnership.  As
of  December  31,  1998  all  commodity  trading  decisions  are  made  for  the
Partnership  by  Trendview  Management,  Inc. and Rabar  Market  Research,  Inc.
("Rabar"), (collectively, the "Advisors"). Neither of the Advisors is affiliated
with the  General  Partner or SSB.  The  Advisors  are not  responsible  for the
organization  or  operation  of the  Partnership.  Pursuant  to the terms of the
Management  Agreements  (the  "Management   Agreements"),   the  Partnership  is
obligated to pay each Advisor:  (i) a monthly  management fee equal to 1/6 of 1%
of the Net Assets of the Partnership  allocated to each Advisor as of the end of
each month (2% per year) and (ii) an incentive fee payable quarterly (Rabar will
be paid on an annual basis), equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits (as defined
in the Management Agreements) of the Partnership.
         The Customer  Agreement  provides that the  Partnership  will pay SSB a

                                 3
<PAGE>

monthly  brokerage  fee equal to .71% of month-end  Net Assets  allocated to the
Advisors (8.5% per year) in lieu of brokerage  commissions on a per trade basis.
SSB will pay a portion of its brokerage  fees to its financial  consultants  who
have sold Units and who are registered as associated  persons with the Commodity
Futures Trading  Commission (the "CFTC").  The Partnership will pay for National
Futures  Association  ("NFA") fees, exchange and clearing fees, give-up and user
fees and floor brokerage  fees.  Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the
Partnership,  although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed.  The
Customer  Agreement  between the  Partnership  and SSB gives the Partnership the
legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
         In  addition,  SSB  will  pay the  Partnership  interest  on 75% of the
average daily equity  maintained in cash in its account during each month at the
rate equal to the average noncompetitive yield of 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills as
determined at the weekly auctions thereof during the month.
         SSBH has agreed to contribute up to  $50,000,000  to the  Partnership's
capital  without  recourse to the  Partnership,  the  General  Partner or SSB to
enable the Partnership to meet its margin obligations to SSB. As a result of the
agreement,  the Partnership  should not have to liquidate its Zero Coupons prior
to their due date except to fund  redemptions,  and investors who remain limited
partners until dissolution of the Partnership  should receive an amount at least
equal to their initial  investment.  The General  Partner will provide a copy of
SSBH's annual report as filed with the SEC to any limited partner requesting it.
         (b) Financial  information about industry  segments.  The Partnership's
business  consists  of  only  one  segment,  speculative  trading  of  commodity

                                 4
<PAGE>

interests (including, but not limited to, futures contracts, options and forward
contracts on U.S. Treasuries,  other financial instruments,  foreign currencies,
stock  indices and physical  commodities).  The  Partnership  does not engage in
sales of goods or services.  The Partnership's net income (loss) from operations
for the years ended December 31, 1998,  1997,  1996, 1995 and 1994 are set forth
under "Item 6. Selected Financial Data." Partnership  capital as of December 31,
1998 was $6,601,095.
        (c)        Narrative description of business. 
                   See Paragraphs (a) and (b) above.  
                   (i) through (x) - Not  applicable.
                   (xi) through
                   (xii) - Not  applicable.  
                   (xiii)  - The  Partnership  has no employees.
                   (d)    Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic
              Operations and Export Sales.  The  Partnership  does not engage in
sales of goods or services,  and therefore this item is not applicable.
Item 2.  Properties.
       The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The General Partner
operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, SSB.
Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.
       There are no material legal  proceedings  pending against the Partnership
or the General  Partner.  This section  describes  the major legal  proceedings,
other than ordinary  routine  litigation  incidental  to the business,  to which
SSBH, the parent company of this General Partner or its  subsidiaries is a party
or to which any of their property is subject.  
       In September 1992, Harris Trust and Savings Bank (as trustee for

                                    5
<PAGE>


Ameritech  Pension  Trust  ("APT"),  Ameritech  Corporation,  and an  officer of
Ameritech filed suit against Salomon  Brothers Inc. ("SBI") and Salomon Brothers
Realty Corporation ("SBRC") in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois  (Harris Trust Savings Bank, not  individually but solely as trustee
for the Ameritech Pension Trust,  Ameritech Corporation and John A. Edwardson v.
Salomon  Brothers Inc and Salomon  Brothers  Realty  Corp.).  The second amended
complaint  alleges that three purchases by APT from defendants of  participation
interests  in net cash flow or resale  proceeds  of three  portfolios  of motels
owned by Motels of America, Inc. ("MOA"), as well as a fourth purchase by APT of
a similar participation  interest with respect to a portfolio of motels owned by
Best Inns, Inc. ("Best"),  violated the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act
("ERISA"),  and that the purchase of the  participation  interests for the third
MOA portfolio and for the Best portfolio  violated the Racketeer  Influenced and
Corrupt   Organization  Act  ("RICO")  and  state  law.  SBI  had  acquired  the
participation  interests  in  transactions  in which it  purchased  as principal
mortgage notes issued by MOA and Best to finance  purchases of motel portfolios;
95% of three such  interests  and 100% of one such interest were sold to APT for
purchase prices  aggregating  approximately  $20.9 million.  Plaintiffs'  second
amended complaint seeks (a) judgment on the ERISA claims for the purchase prices
of  the  four  participation   interests   (approximately  $20.9  million),  for
rescission and for  disgorgement  of profits,  as well as other relief,  and (b)
judgment on the claims  brought  under RICO and state law in the amount of $12.3
million,  with  damages  trebled to $37 million on the RICO claims and  punitive
damages  in excess of $37  million on certain of the state law claims as well as
other  relief.  The court  dismissed  the RICO,  breach of contract,  and unjust

                                   6
<PAGE>

enrichment  claims.  The court also found that  defendants did not qualify as an
ERISA  fiduciary and dismissed the claims based on that  allegation.  Defendants
moved for summary  judgment on the sole remaining  claim. The motion was denied,
and defendants  appealed to the U.S.  Court of Appeals for the Seventh  Circuit.
Defendants are awaiting a decision.
         Both the  Department  of Labor and the  Internal  Revenue  Service have
advised  SBI that  they  were or are  reviewing  the  transactions  in which APT
acquired  such  participation  interests.  With respect to the Internal  Revenue
Service review,  SSBH, SBI and SBRC have consented to extensions of time for the
assessment  of excise  taxes that may be  claimed to be due with  respect to the
transactions  for the years 1987,  1988 and 1989.  In August 1996,  the IRS sent
SSBH,  SBI and SBRC what appeared to be draft  "30-day  letters" with respect to
the  transactions and SSBH, SBI and SBRC were given an opportunity to comment on
whether the IRS should issue 30-day letters,  which would actually  commence the
assessment  process.  In October 1996, SSBH, SBI and SBRC submitted a memorandum
setting forth  reasons why the IRS should not issue 30-day  letters with respect
to the transactions.
         In December 1996, a complaint seeking unspecified  monetary damages was
filed by Orange County,  California against numerous brokerage firms,  including
Smith  Barney,  in the  U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court  for  the  Central  District  of
California  (County  of  Orange  et al. v.  Bear  Stearns  & Co.  Inc.  et al.).
Plaintiff alleges,  among other things, that defendants  recommended and sold to
plaintiff  unsuitable  securities  and that such  transactions  were outside the
scope of  plaintiff's  statutory and  constitutional  authority  (ultra  vires).
Defendants'  motion for summary  judgment  was granted with respect to the ultra

                                 7
<PAGE>

vires  claims in  February  1999.  The court  allowed  the  filing of an amended
complaint asserting claims based on alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
        In June  1998,  complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana in two actions (Board of  Liquidations,  City Debt
of the City of New  Orleans v. Smith  Barney  Inc.  et ano.  and The City of New
Orleans v. Smith Barney Inc. et ano.),  in which the City of New Orleans seeks a
declaratory  judgment  that  Smith  Barney  Inc.  and  another  underwriter  are
responsible  for any damages  that the City may incur in the event the  Internal
Revenue  Service  denies tax  exempt  status to the  City's  General  Obligation
Refunding  Bonds  Series  1991.  The  Company  filed a  motion  to  dismiss  the
complaints in September 1998, and the complaints were subsequently  amended. The
Company has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaints.
         In November 1998, a purported  class action  complaint was filed in the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Dwight Brock as
Clerk for Collier County v. Merrill Lynch, et al.). The complaint  alleges that,
pursuant to a nationwide conspiracy, 17 broker-dealer defendants, including SSB,
charged excessive mark-ups in connection with advanced  refunding  transactions.
The Company intends to contest this complaint vigorously.  Environmental Matters
In July 1996,  the City and  County of Denver  ("Denver")  enacted an  ordinance
imposing  a  substantial  fee on any  radioactive  waste or  radium-contaminated

                              8
<PAGE>

material  disposed  of in the  City of  Denver.  Under  this  ordinance,  Denver
assessed a subsidiary  of Salomon,  the S.W.  Shattuck  Chemical  Company,  Inc.
("Shattuck"),  $9.35 million for certain disposal already carried out.  Shattuck
sued to enjoin  imposition  of the fee on  constitutional  grounds.  The  United
States  also sued,  seeking to enjoin  imposition  of the fee on  constitutional
grounds.  Denver  counterclaimed  and moved to add SSBH as a defendant  for past
costs.  These cases have been  consolidated  before the U.S.  District  Court in
Colorado, which granted Shattuck's motion for a preliminary injunction enjoining
Denver from enforcing the ordinance  during the pendency of the litigation.  The
parties have reached a settlement.
         The Company and various subsidiaries have also been named as defendants
in various  matters  incident to and typical of the businesses in which they are
engaged. These include numerous civil actions, arbitration proceedings and other
matters  in which the  Company's  broker-dealer  subsidiaries  have been  named,
arising in the  normal  course of  business  out of  activities  as a broker and
dealer in securities,  as an underwriter of securities,  as an investment banker
or otherwise. In the opinion of the Company's management,  none of these actions
is  expected to have a material  adverse  effect on the  consolidated  financial
condition of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
         There were no matters  submitted  to the  security  holders  for a vote
during the last fiscal year covered by this report.

Item 5.  Market  for  Registrant's  Common  Equity  and  Related Security Holder
         Matters.
              (a)  Market  Information.  The  Partnership  has  issued no stock.
                      There  is  no  established   public trading market for the
                      Units of Limited Partnership Interest.
              (b)   Holders.  The   number  of  holders  of  Units  of  Limited 
                      Partnership  Interest as of December 31, 1998 was 425.
                    
              (c)  Distribution.  The Partnership did not declare a distribution
                      in 1998 or 1997.

Item 7.         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
                Results of Operations.
         (a)  Liquidity.  The  Partnership  does not engage in sales of goods or
services.  Its only  assets  are its  equity in its  commodity  futures  trading
account,   consisting  of  cash,  Zero  Coupons,  net  unrealized   appreciation
(depreciation) on open futures contracts 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.  Such
substantial  losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity.  To minimize
this risk, the Partnership follows certain policies including:
         (1)  Partnership  funds are invested only in commodity  contracts which
are traded in sufficient volume to permit, in the opinion of the Advisors,  ease
of taking and liquidating positions.
         (2)  The   Partnership   diversifies   its   positions   among  various
commodities.
         (3) No Advisor will initiate  additional  positions in any commodity if
such  additional   positions  would  result  in  aggregate   positions  for  all
commodities  requiring as margin more than 66-2/3% of the  Partnership's  assets
allocated to the Advisor.
         (4) The  Partnership may  occasionally  accept delivery of a commodity.
Unless such  delivery is disposed  of  promptly  by  retendering  the  warehouse
receipt  representing  the  delivery  to the  appropriate  clearing  house,  the
physical commodity position will be fully hedged.
         (5) The  Partnership  will not employ the  trading  technique  commonly
known as  "pyramiding",  in which the  speculator  uses  unrealized  profits  on
existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of additional positions in
the same or related commodities.

                                        12

       (6)  The  Partnership  will  not  utilize  borrowings  except  short-term
borrowing if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
       (7) The Advisors may, from time to time,  employ trading  strategies such
as spreads or  straddles  on behalf of the  Partnership.  The term  "spread"  or
"straddle"   describes  a  commodity  futures  trading  strategy  involving  the
simultaneous buying and selling of contracts on the same commodity but involving
different  delivery  dates or markets and in which the trader  expects to earn a
profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference  between the prices of the
two contracts.
       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
may  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,  or to purchase or sell other
financial  instruments  at specified  terms at specified  future dates.  Each of
these  instruments  is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the
underlying financial  instruments  including market and credit risk. 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.  (See
also  "Item 8.  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data.",  for  further
information  on  financial  instrument  risk  included in the notes to financial
statements.)

                            13

<PAGE>


         Other  than the  risks  inherent  in  commodity  futures  trading,  the
Partnership knows of no trends,  demands,  commitments,  events or uncertainties
which  will  result  in  or  which  are  reasonably  likely  to  result  in  the
Partnership's  liquidity  increasing  or  decreasing  in any  material  way. The
Limited  Partnership  Agreement  provides  that the General  Partner may, at its
discretion,  cause the Partnership to cease trading operations and liquidate all
open positions upon the first to occur of the following:  (i) December 31, 2012;
(ii)  at the end of the  month  in  which  the  Zero  Coupons  purchased  by the
Partnership come due (May, 1999);  (iii) the vote to dissolve the Partnership by
limited  partners  owning  more than 50% of the Units;  (iv)  assignment  by the
General  Partner  of all of its  interest  in  the  Partnership  or  withdrawal,
removal,  bankruptcy or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease
to be a general  partner under the  Partnership  Act unless the  Partnership  is
continued as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement; (v) the Partnership
is required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the General
Partner  determines  that  dissolution  is therefore in the  Partnership's  best
interest;  or (vi) the  occurrence of any event which shall make it unlawful for
the existence of the Partnership to be continued.
         (b)  Capital  resources.  (i) The  Partnership  has  made  no  material
commitments for capital expenditures.
                (ii) The  Partnership's  capital  will  consist  of the  capital
contributions  of the  partners as  increased or decreased by gains or losses on
commodity futures trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units
and  distributions  of profits,  if any.  Gains or losses on  commodity  futures

                                   14
<PAGE>

trading  cannot be predicted.  Market moves in  commodities  are dependent  upon
fundamental and technical  factors which the  Partnership's  Advisors may or may
not be able to  identify.  Partnership  expenses  will  consist of,  among other
things,  commissions,  management  fees and incentive  fees.  The level of these
expenses is dependent  upon the level of trading gains or losses and the ability
of the  Advisors  to  identify  and take  advantage  of price  movements  in the
commodity  markets,   in  addition  to  the  level  of  Net  Assets  maintained.
Furthermore,  the Partnership  will receive no payment on its Zero Coupons until
their due date.  However,  the  Partnership  will  accrue  interest  on the Zero
Coupons and Limited  Partners  will be required to report as interest  income on
their U.S. tax returns in each year their pro rata share of the accrued interest
on the Zero  Coupons  even  though no  interest  will be paid prior to their due
date.  In addition,  the amount of interest  income  payable by SSB is dependent
upon interest rates over which the Partnership has no control.
             No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given
period.  A Limited  Partner  may cause  all of his Units to be  redeemed  by the
Partnership  at the Net  Asset  Value  thereof  as of the  last  day of a fiscal
quarter (the  "Redemption  Date") on fifteen days' written notice to the General
Partner.  Redemption fees equal to 4%, 3%, 2% and 1% of Net Asset Value per Unit
redeemed  were  charged to any  Limited  Partner who  redeemed  his Units on the
first,  second, third or fourth possible Redemption Dates,  respectively.  Since
then no  redemption  fee has been  charged.  During 1994 and 1993,  SSB received
redemption  fees of $52,854 and $77,949,  respectively.  Redemptions  of partial

                              15
<PAGE>

Units or less than all the Units owned by a Limited  Partner  are not  permitted
except at the sole discretion of the General Partner.
         For the year ended December 31, 1998, 717 Units were redeemed  totaling
$920,005.  For the year ended  December  31,  1997,  1,083  Units were  redeemed
totaling  $1,347,403.  For the year ended  December 31,  1996,  2,810 Units were
redeemed totaling $3,113,939.
         For each Unit redeemed the  Partnership  liquidates  $1,000  (principal
amount) of Zero Coupons and will continue to liquidate $1,000 (principal amount)
of Zero Coupons per Unit redeemed.  These  liquidations  will be at market value
which will be less than the amount  payable on their due date.  Moreover,  it is
possible  that  the  market  value  of the Zero  Coupon  could be less  than its
purchase price plus the original issue discount amortized to date.
             (c) Results of  operations.  For the year ended  December 31, 1998,
the net asset value per Unit increased 7.1% from $1,267.44 to $1,357.41. For the
year ended  December 31, 1997,  the net asset value per Unit increased 8.9% from
$1,164.16 to  $1,267.44.  For the year ended  December  31, 1996,  the net asset
value per Unit increased 3.5% from $1,124.52 to $1,164.16.
         The  Partnership  experienced  net  trading  gains of  $394,709  before
commissions  and  expenses  for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  Gains were
attributable to trading in U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, currencies, grains,
indices and energy and were partially offset by losses in livestock,  metals and
softs commodity futures. The Partnership  experienced a realized gain of $161 on

                                     16

<PAGE>

Zero Coupons  liquidated in conjunction with the redemption of Units during 1998
and unrealized appreciation of $25,379 on Zero Coupons during 1998.
         The  Partnership  experienced  net  trading  gains of  $634,398  before
commissions  and  expenses  for the year ended  December  31,  1997.  Gains were
attributable to trading in U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, currencies, metals,
softs and indices and were partially  offset by losses in livestock,  grains and
energy commodity futures. The Partnership  experienced a realized loss of $8,752
on Zero Coupons  liquidated in  conjunction  with the redemption of Units during
1997 and  unrealized  appreciation  of $51,739 on Zero Coupons  during 1997. The
Partnership  experienced  net trading gains of $294,203  before  commission  and
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Gains were  attributable  to the
trading of commodity  futures in currencies,  energy products and interest rates
and were  partially  offset by losses in the  trading  of  commodity  futures in
metals,  agricultural  products  and  indices.
         The Partnership experienced  a realized loss of $46,071 on Zero Coupons
liquidated  in  conjunction  with  the  redemption  of  Units  during  1996  and
unrealized  depreciation  of $113,674 on Zero  Coupons  during  1996.  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
those price  trends  correctly.  Price  trends are  influenced  by,  among other
things,  changing  supply  and  demand  relationships,   weather,  governmental,
agricultural,   commercial  and  trade  programs  and  policies,   national  and

                                17
<PAGE>

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 gain capital from operations.
         (d)Operational Risk
         The Company is directly  exposed to market risk and credit risk,  which
arise in the normal course of its business activities. Slightly less direct, but
of critical  importance,  are risks  pertaining to  operational  and back office
support.  This is particularly  the case in a rapidly  changing and increasingly
global environment with increasing  transaction  volumes and an expansion in the
number and complexity of products in the marketplace.
Such risks include:
Operational/Settlement  Risk - the risk of financial  and  opportunity  loss and
legal liability attributable to operational problems, such as inaccurate pricing
of transactions,  untimely trade execution,  clearance and/or settlement, or the
inability to process  large volumes of  transactions.  The Company is subject to
increased  risks with  respect to its  trading  activities  in  emerging  market
securities,  where clearance,  settlement, and custodial risks are often greater
than  in  more  established  markets. 
Technological   Risk  - the   risk   of  loss  attributable   to   technological
limitations or hardware failure that constrain the Company's  ability to gather,
process,  and  communicate   information   efficiently  and  securely,   without
interruption, with customers, among units within the Company, and in the markets
where the Company participates.
Legal/Documentation Risk - the risk of loss  attributable to deficiencies in the


                                18
<PAGE>

documentation   oftransactions  (such  as  trade   confirmations)  and  customer
relationships  (such as master  netting    agreements)  or  errors  that  result
in  noncompliance  with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. 
Financial  Control  Risk - the  risk  of loss  attributable  to  limitations  in
financial  systems and controls.  Strong financial  systems and  controls ensure
that  assets  are  safeguarded,  that  transactions  are executed  in accordance
with  management's  authorization,  and that financial  information  utilized by
management  and  communicated  to  external  parties,  including  the  Company's
stockholder, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors. 
Risk of Computer System Failure (Year 2000 Issue)
                  The Year 2000 issue is the  result of  existing  computers  in
many  businesses  using  only two digits to  identify a year in the date  field.
These  computers and programs,  often referred to as  "information  technology,"
were  designed  and  developed  without  considering  the impact of the upcoming
change in the century. If not corrected,  many computer  applications could fail
or create  erroneous  results at the Year 2000.  Such systems and  processes are
dependent on correctly identifying dates in the next century.
                  The  General   Partner   administers   the   business  of  the
Partnership through various systems and processes maintained by SSBH and SSB. In
addition, the operation of the Partnership is dependent on the capability of the
Partnership's  Advisors,  the brokers and  exchanges  through which the Advisors
trade, and other third parties to prepare adequately for the Year 2000 impact on
their  systems  and  processes.   The  Partnership  itself  has  no  systems  or
information technology applications relevant to its operations.

                                     19
<PAGE>

                  The General Partner,  SSB, SSBH and their parent  organization
Citigroup Inc. have  undertaken a  comprehensive,  firm-wide  evaluation of both
internal and external  systems  (systems  related to third parties) to determine
the  specific  modifications  needed to prepare for the year 2000.  The combined
Year 2000 program in SSB is expected to cost approximately $140 million over the
four years  from 1996  through  1999,  and  involve  over 450 people at the peak
staffing level. SSB expects to complete all compliance and certification work by
June 1999. At this time,  over 95% of SSBH systems have completed the correction
process  and are Year 2000  compliant.  Over 73% of the systems  have  completed
certification testing. The Year 2000 project at SSBH remains on schedule.
                  The systems and components  supporting  the General  Partner's
business that require  remediation have been identified and  modifications  have
been made to bring them into Year 2000 compliance.  Testing of these systems was
completed in the fourth  quarter of 1998.  Final testing and  certification  are
expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 1999.
                  This    expenditure   and  the  General   Partner's  resources
dedicated  to  the preparation for Year 2000 do not and will not have a material
impact on the operation or results of the Partnership.
                  The General Partner has requested and received statements from
the Advisors that each has undertaken its own evaluation and  remediation  plans
to identify any of its  computer  systems  that are Year 2000  vulnerable.  Each
Advisor has confirmed it is taking immediate  actions to remedy those systems as
necessary. The General Partner will continue to inquire into and to confirm each
Advisor's readiness for Year 2000.

                                       20

<PAGE>


                  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  until such
valuation was determinable.
                  SSB has  successfully  participated in  industry-wide  testing
including:  The Streetwide  Beta Testing  organized by the  Securities  Industry
Association  (SIA),  a  government  securities  clearing  test with the  Federal
Reserve Bank of New York,  The  Depository  Trust  Company,  and The Bank of new
York,  and Futures  Industry  Association  participants  test.  The firm is also
participating in the streetwide testing which commenced in March 1999.
                  It is possible that problems may occur that would require some
time to repair.  Moreover,  it is possible that problems will occur outside SSBH
for which  SSBH could  experience  a  secondary  effect.  Consequently,  SSBH is
preparing   comprehensive,   written   contingency  plans  so  that  alternative
procedures  and a  framework  for  critical  decisions  are  defined  before any
potential crisis occurs. The goal of Year 2000 contingency  planning is a set of
alternate  procedures to be used in the event of a critical  system failure or a
failure by a supplier or  counterparty.  Planning work was completed in December
1998, and testing of alternative  procedures will be conducted in the first half
of 1999.

European Economic and Monetary Union
         European  Economic and Monetary  Union ("EMU") is an historic  event in
Europe involving the unification of currency in eleven major countries.  The new
unified currency, called the Euro, is expected to compete on a global scale with
the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
         Introduction  of the Euro began on January 1, 1999,  when the  European
Central Bank assumed control of the monetary policy for  participating  nations.
Exchange  rates between the  participating  countries were fixed and the Euro is
available for  electronic  payments.  Also on January 1, 1999,  various  issuers
re-denominated  their  securities and  harmonized  bond payment  conventions.  A
three-year  transition  period began on January 1, 1999,  after which Euro notes
and coins will be issued by the European  Central  Bank and national  currencies
will be phased out.
         The Company completed a  successful  conversion  to  the Euro  and  has
commenced trading and settlement in the new currency with no major exceptions.
         As the  preceding  risks are largely interrelated, so are the Company's
actions to mitigate and manage them.  The Company's Chief Administrative Officer
is responsible for, among other things,  oversight of global  operations
and technology.  An essential element in mitigating the risks noted above is the
optimization  of information  technology and the ability to manage and implement
change.  To be an effective  competitor in an  information-driven  business of a
global nature  requires the  development  of global  systems and databases  that
ensure increased and more timely access to reliable data.

         (e)      New Accounting Pronouncements
         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"). SFAS
133  requires  that an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  in the  statement of
financial  condition and measure those  instruments  at fair value.  SFAS 133 is
effective for fiscal year beginning  after June 15, 1999 SFAS 133 is expected to
have no material  impact on the financial  statements of the  Partnership as all
commodity interests are recorded at fair value, with changes therein reported in
the  statement  of income and expenses.
Item 7A.  Quantitative   and   Qualitative   Disclosures   About   Market   Risk
Introduction
         The Partnership is a speculative  commodity pool. The market  sensitive
instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of trading
loss. Unlike an operating company,  the risk of market sensitive  instruments is
integral, not incidental, to the Partnership's main line of business.
         Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of
the  Partnership's  open positions and,  consequently,  in its earnings and cash
flow. The Partnership's  market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors,
including the level and volatility of interest  rates,  exchange  rates,  equity
price  levels,  the market value of financial  instruments  and  contracts,  the
diversification effects among the Partnership's open positions and the liquidity
of the markets in which it trades.

                                     23

<PAGE>


         The  Partnership  rapidly  acquires and liquidates  both long and short
positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible
to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance,  and
the Partnership's  past performance is not necessarily  indicative of its future
results.
         Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the  Partnership
could  reasonably  be expected to lose in a given market  sector.  However,  the
inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading and the recurrence
in the markets  traded by the  Partnership  of market  movements  far  exceeding
expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the
indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership's  experience to date (i.e., "risk of
ruin").  In  light  of the  foregoing  as well as the  risks  and  uncertainties
intrinsic  to all  future  projections,  the  inclusion  of  the  quantification
included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or
representation  that the  Partnership's  losses  in any  market  sector  will be
limited to Value at Risk or by the  Partnership's  attempts to manage its market
risk. 
Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
         The following  quantitative  disclosures  regarding  the  Partnership's
market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995  (set  forth in  Section  27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934).
All  quantitative  disclosures in this section are deemed to be  forward-looking

                                   24

<PAGE>

statements  for purposes of the safe harbor except for  statements of historical
fact (such as the terms of  particular  contracts  and the number of market risk
sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period).
         The Partnership's risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by
the  Advisors  is  quantified  below in  terms  of  Value  at  Risk.  Due to the
Partnership's  mark-to-market  accounting,  any  loss in the  fair  value of the
Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership's earnings
(realized or unrealized). 
Exchange  maintenance  margin  requirements have been used by the Partnership as
the measure of its Value at Risk.  Maintenance  margin  requirements  are set by
exchanges  to  equal  or  exceed  the  maximum  losses reasonably expected to be
incurred in the fair value  of  any given  contract  in 95%-99% of  any  one-day
intervals.   The  maintenance  margin  levels are  established  by  dealers  and
exchanges  using  historical  price studies  as well as an assessment of current
market volatility (including the implied volatility of  the options  on  a given
futures  contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate
of  the  maximum  expected   near-term   one-day  price fluctuation. Maintenance
margin  has been  used  rather than the more generally available initial margin,
because initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to
Value at Risk.
         In the case of market  sensitive  instruments  which  are not  exchange
traded  (almost  exclusively  currencies  in the case of the  Partnership),  the
margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as Value
at  Risk.  In those  rare  cases in  which a  futures-equivalent  margin  is not
available, dealers' margins have been used.

                                         25
<PAGE>


         The fair value of the Partnership's  futures and forward positions does
not have any  optionality  component.  However,  certain of the  Advisors  trade
commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the
following  table  as the  margin  requirement  attributable  to  the  instrument
underlying each option. Where this instrument is a futures contract, the futures
margin,   and   where   this   instrument   is   a   physical   commodity,   the
futures-equivalent  maintenance  margin  has  been  used.  This  calculation  is
conservative in that it assumes that the fair value of an option will decline by
the same  amount as the fair value of the  underlying  instrument,  whereas,  in
fact,  the fair values of the options  traded by the  Partnership  in almost all
cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments.
         In  quantifying  the   Partnership's   Value  at  Risk,  100%  positive
correlation  in the  different  positions  held in each market risk category has
been  assumed.  Consequently,  the margin  requirements  applicable  to the open
contracts have simply been added to determine each trading category's  aggregate
Value at Risk.  The  diversification  effects  resulting  from the fact that the
Partnership's positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not
been  reflected.  
The  Partnership's  Trading Value at Risk in Different  Market Sectors
         The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with
the Partnership's open positions by market category as of December 31, 1998. All

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
         The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership
is typically many times the applicable margin requirement  (margin  requirements
generally  range  between  2% and 15% of  contract  face  value)  as well as the
capitalization  of the  Partnership.  The  magnitude of the  Partnership's  open
positions  creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in most other investment
vehicles.  Because of the size of its positions,  certain  market  conditions --
unusual,  but  historically  recurring  from  time to time --  could  cause  the
Partnership  to incur severe  losses over a short period of time.  The foregoing
Value at Risk table -- as well as the past  performance  of the  Partnership  --
give no indication of this "risk of ruin."
         Non-Trading Risk
         The  Partnership  has  non-trading  market  risk  on its  foreign  cash
balances not needed for margin.  However,  these balances (as well as any market
risk they represent) are immaterial.

                                     27

         Materiality  as used in this  section,  "Qualitative  and  Quantitative
Disclosures About Market Risk," is based on an assessment of reasonably possible
market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements,  taking into
account the leverage,  optionality and multiplier  features of the Partnership's
market sensitive instruments.
         Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
         The  following  qualitative  disclosures  regarding  the  Partnership's
market risk exposures - except for (i) those  disclosures that are statements of
historical fact and (ii) the  descriptions  of how the  Partnership  manages its
primary market risk exposures - constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities  Act and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act. The  Partnership's  primary  market risk  exposures as well as the
strategies  used and to be used by the  General  Partner  and the  Advisors  for
managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and
risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership's risk
controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government
interventions,  defaults and expropriations,  illiquid markets, the emergence of
dominant fundamental factors,  political upheavals,  changes in historical price
relationships,  an influx of new market  participants,  increased regulation and
many  other  factors  could  result in  material  losses as well as in  material
changes to the risk exposures and the management  strategies of the Partnership.

                               28

<PAGE>

There can be no assurance that the Partnership's  current market exposure and/or
risk  management  strategies  will  not  change  materially  or  that  any  such
strategies will be effective in either the short- or long- term.  Investors must
be  prepared  to  lose  all  or  substantially  all  of  their investment in the
Partnership
         The  following   were  the  primary   trading  risk  exposures  of  the
Partnership as of December 31, 1998, by market sector.
         Interest Rates.  Interest rate risk is the principal market exposure of
the  Partnership.  Interest  rate  movements  directly  affect  the price of the
futures  positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock
index and currency positions.  Interest rate movements in one country as well as
relative  interest  rate  movements  between  countries  materially  impact  the
Partnership's profitability. The Partnership's primary interest rate exposure is
to interest rate  fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries.
However,  the Partnership also takes futures positions on the government debt of
smaller nations -- e.g.,  Australia.  The General Partner  anticipates  that G-7
interest rates will remain the primary market  exposure of the  Partnership  for
the foreseeable future. The changes in interest rates which have the most effect
on the  Partnership are changes in long-term,  as opposed to short-term,  rates.
Consequently,  even a material  change in  short-term  rates  would have  little
effect on the Partnership were the medium- to long-term rates to remain steady.
         Currencies.  The  Partnership's  currency  exposure is to exchange rate
fluctuations,  primarily  fluctuations  which  disrupt  the  historical  pricing
relationships   between   different   currencies  and  currency   pairs.   These
fluctuations  are  influenced  by interest rate changes as well as political and

                                 29
<PAGE>


general  economic  conditions.  The General Partner does not anticipate that the
risk profile of the Partnership's  currency sector will change  significantly in
the future,  although it is difficult at this point to predict the effect of the
introduction  of the Euro on the  Advisors'  currency  trading  strategies.  The
currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreign margin amounts  converted
into U.S.  dollars with an  incremental  adjustment to reflect the exchange rate
risk inherent to the  dollar-based  Partnership in expressing Value at Risk in a
functional currency other than dollars.
         Stock Indices.  The Partnership's  primary equity exposure is to equity
price  risk  in the  G-7  countries.  The  stock  index  futures  traded  by the
Partnership  are by law  limited  to futures on  broadly  based  indices.  As of
December 31, 1998,  the  Partnership's  primary  exposures  were in the S&P 500,
Financial  Times  (England),  Nikkei  (Japan)  and Hang Seng (Hong  Kong)  stock
indices.  The General Partner  anticipates  little,  if any,  trading in non-G-7
stock indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price
trends or static  markets in the major  U.S.,  European  and  Japanese  indices.
(Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult
for the Partnership to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses.)
         Metals.   The  Partnership's   primary  metal  market  exposure  is  to
fluctuations in the price of gold and silver.  Although  certain of the Advisors
will from time to time  trade base  metals  such as  aluminum  and  copper,  the
principal  market  exposures of the Partnership  have  consistently  been in the
precious  metals,   gold  and  silver.  The  Advisors'  gold  trading  has  been
increasingly  limited due to the long-lasting and mainly non-volatile decline in

                                 30

<PAGE>

the  price of gold  over the last  10-15  years.  However,  silver  prices  have
remained  volatile  over this period,  and the  Advisors  have from time to time
taken  substantial  positions as they have  perceived  market  opportunities  to
develop.  The General Partner  anticipates  that gold and silver will remain the
primary metals market exposure for the Partnership.
         Commodities.  The  Partnership's  primary  commodities  exposure  is to
agricultural  price  movements  which are often  directly  affected by severe or
unexpected weather conditions. Coffee, cocoa, cotton and sugar accounted for the
substantial  bulk of the  Partnership's  commodity  exposure as of December  31,
1998.
         Energy. The Partnership's  primary energy market exposure is to gas and
oil price movements,  often resulting from political  developments in the Middle
East.  Oil  prices  are  currently  depressed,  but  they  can be  volatile  and
substantial  profits  and losses  have been and are  expected  to continue to be
experienced in this market.
         Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
         The  following  were  the  only   non-trading  risk  exposures  of  the
Partnership as of December 31, 1998.
         Foreign Currency Balances.  The Partnership's  primary foreign currency
balances are in Japanese yen,  German marks,  British  pounds and French francs.
The  Advisor  regularly  converts  foreign  currency  balances  to dollars in an
attempt to control the Partnership's non-trading risk.
         Securities  Positions.   The  Partnership's  only  market  exposure  in
instruments  held other than for trading is in its  securitities portfolio.  The

                                31

<PAGE>

Partnership maintains a portion of its assets in principal amounts stripped from
U.S. Treasury Bonds under the Treasury's STRIPS program. Violent fluctuations in
prevailing  interest rates could cause immaterial  mark-to-market  losses on the
Partnership's securities.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
         The General  Partner  monitors the  Partnership's  performance  and the
concentration of its open positions,  and consults with the Advisors  concerning
the Partnership's overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary
to do so, the General Partner could require certain of the Advisors to close out
individual  positions  as  well  as  enter  programs  traded  on  behalf  of the
Partnership. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The
General  Partner  primarily  relies on the Advisors'  own risk control  policies
while maintaining a general  supervisory  overview of the  Partnership's  market
risk exposures.  Each Advisor  applies its own risk  management  policies to its
trading. The Advisors often follow diversification guidelines, margin limits and
stop loss points to exit a position.  The Advisors'  research of risk management
often suggests ongoing  modifications to their trading programs. 
As  part  of  the  General  Partner's  risk  management,  the   General  Partner
periodically meets with the  Advisors  to discuss  their risk  management and to
look for any  material changes to the Advisors' portfolio balance  and  trading 
echniques.  The  Advisors are  required   to notify the  General  Partner of any
material  changes to their programs.  
     In the  unlikely  event that the  Partnership  is  required to meet a

                                32
<PAGE>

margin  call in excess of the cash  balance in its trading  accounts,  SSBH will
contribute up to an amount equal to the maturity  value of the Zero Coupons held
by the Partnership at the time of such call to the capital of the Partnership to
permit it to meet its margin obligations in excess of its cash balance.

                        Report of Independent Accountants

To the Partners of
   F-1000 Futures Fund L.P., Series IX:

In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statement of  financial  condition  and the
related  statements  of income and  expenses and of  partners'  capital  present
fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of F-1000 Futures Fund
L.P., Series IX at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting  principles.  These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the management of the General Partner;  our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these financial  statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing  standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing
the accounting  principles used and significant estimates made by the management
of  the  General  Partner,   and  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for the
opinion expressed above.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


1.  Partnership Organization:

    F-1000  Futures  Fund  L.P.,  Series  IX (the  "Partnership")  is a  limited
    partnership  which was  organized  on August 25, 1992 under the  partnership
    laws of the  State of New York 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 principal amounts stripped
    from U.S.  Treasury Bonds under the Treasury's STRIPS program which payments
    are due  approximately  six years  from the date  trading  commenced  ("Zero
    Coupons").  The  Partnership  was authorized to sell 50,000 Units during the
    public offering period.

     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. On October 8, 1998 Travelers  Group Inc. merged with Citicorp Inc. and
     changed its name to Citigroup  Inc.  SSBH is a wholly owned  subsidiary  of
     Citigroup Inc.

    The General Partner and each limited partner share in the profits and losses
    of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned
    by each except that no limited  partner shall be liable for  obligations  of
    the Partnership in excess of his initial capital  contribution  and profits,
    if any, net of distributions.

    The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following;
    at the  end of  the  month  in  which  the  Zero  Coupons  purchased  by the
    Partnership  come due (May 1999), or upon the earlier  occurrence of certain
    other  circumstances  set forth in the Limited  Partnership  Agreement.  The
    General  Partner,  in its sole  discretion,  may elect not to terminate  the
    Partnership  as of the First  Payment  Date.  In the event that the  General
    Partner elects to continue the Partnership,  each limited partner shall have
    the opportunity to redeem all or some of his Units.

2.  Accounting Policies:

    a. All commodity interests (including  derivative financial  instruments and
       derivative  commodity  instruments)  are used for trading  purposes.  The
       commodity  interests  are recorded on trade date and open  contracts  are
       recorded in the  statement  of  financial  condition at fair value on the
       last business day of the year,  which  represents  market value for those
       commodity  interests for which market  quotations are readily  available.
       Investments in commodity interests  denominated in foreign currencies are
       translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the last
       business  day of  the  year.  Realized  gains  (losses)  and  changes  in
       unrealized values on commodity  interests are recognized in the period in
       which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in net
       gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests.

    b. Income  taxes have not been  provided  as each  partner  is  individually
       liable for the taxes,  if any, on his share of the  Partnership's  income
       and expenses.

    c. The original issue  discount on the Zero Coupons is being  amortized over
       their life using the interest method and is included in interest income.
    d. Zero Coupons are recorded in the statement of financial condition at fair
       value.  Realized gain (loss) on the sale of Zero Coupons is determined on
       the amortized cost basis of the Zero Coupons at the time of sale.
                                  F-7
<PAGE>

    e. The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
       accepted accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
       the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
       and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ
       from these estimates.

3.  Agreements:

    a. Limited Partnership Agreement:

       The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner shall
       manage the business of the Partnership and may make all trading decisions
       for the Partnership.

    b. Management Agreements:

       The General  Partner,  on behalf of the  Partnership,  has  entered  into
       Management  Agreements  with Rabar Market  Research,  Inc.  ("Rabar") and
       Trendview Management,  Inc.  (collectively,  the "Advisors"),  registered
       commodity  trading  advisors.  The Advisors are not  affiliated  with one
       another and none is  affiliated  with the General  Partner or SSB and are
       not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. The
       Partnership  will pay each Advisor a monthly  management fee equal to 1/6
       of 1% (2% per year) of Net Assets  allocated to the Advisor as of the end
       of each month.  In  addition,  the  Partnership  is obligated to pay each
       Advisor an incentive  fee,  payable  quarterly  (Rabar will be paid on an
       annual basis),  equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits,  as defined,  of
       the Partnership.

    c. Customer Agreement:

       The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement, which was assigned
       to SSB,  which  provides  that the  Partnership  will  pay SSB a  monthly
       brokerage fee equal to .71 of 1% (8.5% per year) of month-end Net Assets,
       in lieu of brokerage  commissions on a per trade basis.  The  Partnership
       will pay for National  Futures  Association  ("NFA")  fees,  exchange and
       clearing fees,  user,  give-up and floor  brokerage  fees. SSB will pay a
       portion of such brokerage fees to its financial consultants who have sold
       Units in the Partnership.  All of the Partnership's  assets are deposited
       in the Partnership's  account at SSB. The Partnership maintains a portion
       of these assets in Zero Coupons and a portion in cash. The  Partnership's
       cash is  deposited  by SSB in  segregated  bank  accounts  to the  extent
       required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December
       31, 1998 and 1997,  the amount of cash held for margin  requirements  was
       $220,654 and $416,013, respectively.  Brokerage fees will be paid for the
       life of the  Partnership,  although  the rate at which such fees are paid
       may be changed.  SSB has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 75% of
       the average daily equity  maintained  in cash in its account  during each
       month at the rate of the  average  noncompetitive  yield of 13-week  U.S.
       Treasury  Bills as determined at the weekly  auctions  thereof during the
       month. The Customer  Agreement  between the Partnership and SSB gives the
       Partnership  the legal  right to net  unrealized  gains and  losses.  The
       Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.

4.  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.  All of the
    commodity  interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes.
    The fair value of these commodity  interests,  including options thereon, if
    applicable,  at  December  31,1998  and  1997,  was  $54,426  and  $189,234,
    respectively,  and the average fair value during the years then ended, based
    on a monthly calculation, was $113,655 and $210,449, respectively.
                             F-8

5.  Distributions and Redemptions:

    Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the
    General  Partner  and at such times as the General  Partner  may  decide.  A
    limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem his Units at their Net
    Asset Value as of the last day of a fiscal quarter on 15 days' notice to the
    General Partner.  Redemptions of partial Units or of less than all the Units
    owned by a limited  partner are not permitted  except at the sole discretion
    of the General Partner.

6.  Organization and Offering Costs:

    Offering  and  organization  expenses of $391,118  relating to issuance  and
    marketing of the Units offered to the public were paid by SSB's predecessor.
    The  Partnership  has reimbursed SSB for all such expenses from the interest
    earned on funds  held in its  account  beginning  with the  second  month of
    trading.  The  Partnership  was  charged  interest  at the prime rate on the
    unpaid organization expense balance. This interest expense of $4,683 in 1995
    has been included in organization expense.

7.  Net Asset Value Per Unit:

    Changes  in the net asset  value per Unit of  Partnership  interest  for the
    years ended December 31,1998, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

</TABLE>

8.  Guarantee:
    SSBH has agreed to contribute up to $50,000,000 to the Partnership's capital
    without  recourse to the  Partnership,  the General Partner or SSB to enable
    the  Partnership  to meet its margin  obligations to SSB. As a result of the
    agreement,  the  Partnership  should not have to liquidate  its Zero Coupons
    prior to their due date except to fund redemptions, and investors who remain
    limited  partners  until  dissolution of the  Partnership  should receive an
    amount at least equal to their initial investment.

9.  Financial Instrument Risks:

    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 may 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").
                                   F-9

<PAGE>


    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 on 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.
                                       F-10

<PAGE>

    At  December  31,  1998,  the  notional  or   contractual   amounts  of  the
    Partnership's   commitment  to  purchase  and  sell  these  instruments  was
    $14,748,019 and $10,922,858,  respectively.  All of these instruments mature
    within one year of  December  31,  1998.  However,  due to the nature of the
    Partnership's  business,  these instruments may not be held to maturity.  At
    December  31,  1998,  the  fair  value  of  the  Partnership's  derivatives,
    including options thereon, if applicable, was $54,426, as detailed below.

10.    New Accounting Pronouncements:

       In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
       Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities  ("SFAS
       133").  SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives in the
       statement of financial  condition and measure those  instruments  at fair
       value.  SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15,
       1999.  SFAS 133 is expected to have no material  impact on the  financial
       statements of the Partnership as all commodity  interests are recorded at
       fair value,  with changes therein reported in the statement of income and
       expenses.
