Item 1. Business.
(a) General development of business. Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on March 31, 1987, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and commenced trading on July 24, 1987. The Partnership engages in speculative trading of commodity futures contracts and other commodity interests, including futures contracts on United States Treasury bills and other financial instruments, foreign currencies and stock indices. Redemptions of redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest in the Partnership ("Redeemable Units") for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are reported in the Statements of Changes in Partners' Capital on page under "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The general partner has agreed to make capital contributions, if necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater of (i) an amount to entitle it to 1% of each material item of Partnership income, loss, deduction or credit and (ii) the greater of (a) 1% of the partners' contributions to the Partnership or (b) $25,000. The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first of the following to occur: December 31, 2013; the net asset value per Redeemable Unit falls below $500 as of the close of any business day; or under certain circumstances as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership (the "Limited Partnership Agreement").
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, formerly Smith Barney Futures Management LLC, acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. The Partnership's commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGM"), formerly Salomon Smith Barney Inc. CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGMHI"), formerly Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc., which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup").
The Partnership trades futures, forwards and options contracts, if applicable, on United States and foreign commodity exchanges through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has sole responsibility for the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership, but may delegate trading discretion to one or more trading advisors.
The General Partner has entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH") (collectively, the "Advisor"). The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor will have sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Partnership but that the Advisor will have no authority to select the commodity broker through whom transactions will be executed.
The Management Agreement can be terminated by the General Partner at any time for any reason whatsoever. The Advisor may terminate the Management Agreement for any reason upon 30 days' notice to the General Partner. The Advisor may also terminate the Management Agreement if the trading policies of the Partnership are changed in a manner that the Advisor reasonably believes will adversely affect the performance of its trading strategies.
Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Partnership will pay the Advisor an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 20% of each Advisor New Trading Profits (as defined in the Management Agreement).
Under the terms of a customer agreement between the Partnership and CGM, (the "Customer Agreement") the Partnership is obligated to pay commodity brokerage commissions at $50 per round-turn futures transaction and $25 per option transaction (inclusive of National Futures Association ("NFA"), floor brokerage, exchange and clearing fees). The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. CGM has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at the rate of the average non-competitive yield of 13-week U.S. Treasury bills as determined at the weekly auctions thereof during the month.
(b) Financial information about industry segments. The Partnership's business consists of only one segment, speculative trading of commodity interests. 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, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are set forth under "Item 6. Selected Financial Data." The Partnership's capital at December 31, 2004, was $21,523,337.

See Paragraphs (a) and (b) above.
(i) through (xii) - Not applicable.
(xiii) - The Partnership has no employees.
(d) Financial Information About Geographic Areas. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services or own any long lived assets, and therefore this item is not applicable.
(e) Available Information. The Partnership does not have an Internet address. The Partnership will provide paper copies of its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports free of charge upon request.

Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The General Partner operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, CGM.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which CGMHI or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.
CGM is a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388 Greenwich St., New York, New York 10013. CGM is registered as a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM"), and provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional and retail participants in the futures markets. CGM and its affiliates also provide investment banking and other financial services for clients worldwide.
There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions pending, on appeal or concluded against CGM or any of its individual principals within the past five years that management believes may have a material impact on CGM's ability to act as an FCM.
Regulatory Matters
Both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") have advised CGM that they were or are reviewing transactions in which Ameritech Pension Trust purchased from CGM and certain affiliates approximately $20.9 million in participations in a portfolio of motels owned by Motels of America, Inc. and Best Inns, Inc. With respect to the IRS review, CGM and certain affiliated entities 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 April 2000, CGM and several other broker-dealers entered into a settlement with the IRS and the SEC, concluding an industry-wide investigation into the pricing of Treasury securities in advanced refunding transactions.
IPO Regulatory Inquiries
Since April 2002, CGM and several other broker dealers have received subpoenas and/or requests for information from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies and Congressional committees as part of their research on IPO allocation inquiries. With respect to issues raised by the NASD, the NYSE
and the SEC about CGM's and other firms' e-mail retention practices, CGM and several other broker/dealers and the NASD, the NYSE and the SEC entered into a settlement agreement in December 2002. CGM agreed to pay a penalty in the amount of $1.65 million and did not admit any wrongdoing.
IPO Civil Litigation
In April 2002, consolidated amended complaints were filed against CGM and other investment banks named in numerous alleged class actions filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations of certain federal securities laws (including Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to the allocation of shares for certain initial public offerings and related aftermarket transactions and damage to investors caused by allegedly biased research analyst reports. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an opinion denying defendants' motion to dismiss.
On October 13, 2004, the court granted in part the motion to certify class actions for six focus cases in the securities litigation. CGM is not a defendant in any of the six focus cases. The underwriter defendants in the focus cases have filed a petition to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit seeking review of this decision.
Also filed in the Southern District of New York against CGM and other investment banks were several alleged class actions that were consolidated into a single class action alleging violations of certain federal and state antitrust laws in connection with the allocation of shares in initial public offerings when acting as underwriters. On November 3, 2003, the court granted CGM's motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the antitrust case. An appeal to the Second Circuit of the dismissal granted to CGM in November 2003 with respect to the antitrust case relating to the allocation of shares for certain initial public offerings is pending.
Research Settlement
On April 28, 2003, CGM announced final agreements with the SEC, the NASD, the NYSE and the New York Attorney General (as lead state among the 50 states, the District Columbia and Puerto Rico) to resolve on a civil basis all of their outstanding investigations into its research and IPO allocation and distribution practices (the "Research Settlement"). As part of the Research Settlement, CGM has consented to the entry of (1) an injunction under the federal securities laws to be entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, barring CGM from violating provisions of the federal securities laws and related NASD and NYSE rules relating to research, certain IPO allocation practices, the safeguarding of material nonpublic information, and the maintenance of required books and records and requiring CGM to adopt and enforce new restrictions on the operation of research; (2) an NASD Acceptance Waiver and Consent requiring CGM to cease and desist from violations of corresponding NASD rules and requiring CGM to adopt and enforce the same new restrictions; (3) an NYSE Stipulation and Consent requiring CGM to cease and desist from violations of corresponding NYSE rules and requiring CGM to adopt and enforce the same new restrictions; and (4) an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General containing substantially the same or similar restrictions. The Research Settlement requires CGM to pay $300 million for retrospective relief, plus $25 million for investor education, and commit to spend $75 million to provide independent third-party research to its clients at no charge. CGM reached these final settlement agreements without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability. The Research Settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. The $300 million was accrued during the 2002 fourth quarter.
To effectuate the Research Settlement, the SEC filed a Complaint and Final Judgment in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On October 31, 2003, final judgment was entered against CGM and nine other investment banks. The NASD has accepted the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent entered into with CGM in connection with the Research Settlement. In May 2003, the NYSE advised CGM that the Hearing Panel's Decision, in which it accepted the Research Settlement, had become final. As required by the Research Settlement, CGM also has entered into separate settlement agreements with numerous states and certain U.S. territories.
Several individual actions have been filed against Citigroup and CGM relating to, among other things, research on Qwest Communications International, Inc. alleging violations of state and federal securities laws.
Enron Regulatory Settlement
On July 28, 2003, Citigroup (CGM's ultimate parent) entered into a final settlement agreement with the SEC to resolve the SEC's outstanding investigations into Citigroup transactions with Enron Corp. and Dynegy Inc. Pursuant to the settlement, Citigroup has, among other terms, (1) consented to the entry of an administrative cease and desist order, which bars Citigroup from committing or causing violations of provisions of the federal securities laws, and (2) agreed to pay $120 million ($101.25 million allocable to Enron and $18.75 million allocable to Dynegy). Citigroup entered into this settlement without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability, and the settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. On July 28, 2003, Citibank, N.A. entered into an agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and Citigroup entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FED") to resolve their inquiries into certain of Citigroup's transactions with Enron. Pursuant to the agreements, Citibank and Citigroup have agreed to submit plans to the OCC and FED, respectively, regarding the handling of complex structured finance transactions. Also on July 28, 2003, Citigroup entered into a settlement agreement with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to resolve its investigation into certain of Citigroup's transactions with Enron. Pursuant to that settlement, Citigroup has agreed to pay $25.5 million and to abide by its agreements with the SEC, OCC and FED.
Enron-Related Civil Actions
CGM, Citigroup and various other Citigroup-related entities have been named as defendants in over 20 civil lawsuits pending in state and federal courts throughout the United States, alleging claims against Citigroup and CGM based on their dealings with Enron. The majority of these cases have been brought by purchasers and sellers of Enron equity and debt securities and Enron-linked securities. Many of the plaintiffs in these actions are large, institutional investors that had substantial Enron and Enron-linked holdings. The lawsuits collectively allege as against Citigroup and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries, among other things, federal securities fraud, state law claims of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and related claims. In most of these lawsuits, Citigroup is named as a co-defendant along with other investment banks alleged to have had dealings with Enron. The majority of cases pending in the federal courts have been, or are in the process of being, consolidated before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. In addition, in five adversary proceedings in the Enron Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Enron and, in one case, its co-debtor affiliates and subsidiaries, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Enron Corp., et al., have named Citigroup and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries as defendants.
A Citigroup affiliate, along with other defendants, settled all claims against it in In Re: Newpower Holdings Securities Litigation, a class action brought on behalf of certain investors in NewPower securities. Citigroup reached this settlement agreement without admitting any wrongdoing. On September 13, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York preliminarily approved the settlement.
Dynegy Inc.
On June 6, 2003, the complaint in a pre-existing putative class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (IN RE: DYNEGY INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION) brought by purchasers of publicly traded debt and equity securities of Dynegy Inc. was amended to add Citigroup, Citibank and CGMI as defendants. The plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the Citigroup defendants. The Citigroup defendants filed a motion to dismiss in March 2004, which motion was granted by the District Court in October 2004. The court denied lead plaintiff's request for leave to appeal.
WorldCom-Related Litigation
Citigroup, CGM and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants - along with twenty-two other investment banks, certain current and former WorldCom
officers and directors, and WorldCom's former auditors - in a consolidated class action brought on behalf of individuals and entities who purchased or acquired publicly traded securities of WorldCom between April 29, 1999 and June 25, 2002 In Re: Worldcom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The class action complaint asserts claims against CGM under (i) Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with certain bond offerings in which it served as underwriter, and (ii) Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b), alleging that it participated in the preparation and/or issuance of misleading WorldCom registration statements and disseminated misleading research reports concerning WorldCom stock. In 2003, the district court denied CGM's motion to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint and granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
Pursuant to an order entered May 28, 2003, the District Court consolidated approximately seventy-eight individual actions with the class action for pretrial proceedings. The claims asserted in these individual actions are substantially similar to the claims alleged in the class action and assert state and federal securities law claims based on CGM's research reports concerning WorldCom and/or CGM's role as an underwriter in WorldCom offerings. Plaintiffs in certain of these actions filed motions to remand their cases to state court. The District Court denied these motions and its rulings were upheld on appeal.
Numerous other actions asserting claims against CGM in connection with its research reports about WorldCom and/or its role as an investment banker for WorldCom are pending in other federal and state courts around the country. These actions have been remanded to various state courts, are pending in other federal courts, or have been conditionally transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be consolidated with the class action. In addition to the court suits, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its WorldCom research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These actions assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the class action.
On May 10, 2004, Citigroup announced that it had agreed to pay $2.58 billion to settle the WorldCom class action suits. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted approval to the proposed settlement on November 10, 2004.
On September 17, 2004, Weinstein, et al. v. Ebbers, et al., an alleged class action against CGM and others brought on behalf of holders of WorldCom securities asserting claims based on, among other things, CGM's research reports concerning WorldCom, was dismissed with prejudice in its entirety by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs noticed an appeal of the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on October 15, 2004. The parties have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a settlement of this action.
Citigroup and CGM, along with a number of other defendants, have settled Retirement Systems of Alabama, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., et al., a WorldCom individual action that had been remanded to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama. The settlement became final on September 30, 2004.
On June 28, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and certain claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in In Re: Targets Securities Litigation, an alleged class action against Citigroup and CGM and certain former employees, leaving only claims under the 1934 Act for purchases of Targeted Growth Enhanced Terms Securities With Respect to the Common Stock of MCI WorldCom, Inc. ("TARGETS") after July 30, 1999. On October 20, 2004, the parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth the terms of a settlement of all remaining claims in this action. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the Court on January 11, 2005.
A fairness hearing was held on November 5, 2004 in connection with the proposed class settlement between plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants in In Re: Worldcom, Inc. Securities Litigation.
Global Crossing
On or about January 28, 2003, lead plaintiff in a consolidated alleged class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (In Re: Global Crossing, Ltd. Securities Litigation)
filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, which names as defendants, among others, Citigroup, CGM, CGMH and certain executive officers and current and former employees. The purported class action complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws alleging that the defendants issued research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and failed to disclose conflicts of interest with Global Crossing in connection with published investment research. On March 22, 2004, the lead plaintiff amended its consolidated complaint to add claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Asia Global Crossing. The added claims assert causes of action under the federal securities laws and common law in connection with CGM's research reports about Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing and for CGM's roles as an investment banker for Global Crossing and as an underwriter in the Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing offerings. The Citigroup related defendants moved to dismiss all of the claims against them on July 2, 2004. The plaintiffs and the Citigroup related defendants have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a settlement of this action.
In addition, on or about January 27, 2004, the Global Crossing Estate Representative filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (i) an adversary proceeding asserting claims against, among others, Citigroup, CGM and certain executive officers and current and former employees, asserting claims under federal bankruptcy law and common law in connection with CGM's research reports about Global Crossing and for its role as an underwriter in Global Crossing offerings, and (ii) an adversary proceeding against Citigroup and several other financial institutions seeking to rescind the payment of a $1 billion loan made to a subsidiary of Global Crossing. The Citigroup related defendants moved to dismiss the former action on June 26, 2004, and the latter on May 28, 2004.
In addition, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its Global Crossing research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These arbitration proceedings assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the alleged class action.
Adelphia Communications Corporation
On July 6, 2003, an adversary proceeding was filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on behalf of Adelphia Communications Corporation against certain lenders and investment banks, including CGM, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., and Citigroup Financial Products, Inc. (together, the Citigroup Parties). The complaint alleges that the Citigroup Parties and numerous other defendants committed acts in violation of the Bank Holding Company Act and the common law. The complaint seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. In November 2003, a similar adversary proceeding was filed by the Equity Holders Committee of Adelphia. In June 2004, motions to dismiss were filed with respect to the complaints of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Equity Holders Committee. The motions are currently pending.
In addition, CGM is among the underwriters named in numerous civil actions brought to date by investors in Adelphia debt securities in connection with Adelphia securities offerings between September 1997 and October 2001. Three of the complaints also assert claims against Citigroup Inc. and Citibank, N.A. All of the complaints allege violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also allege violations of state securities laws and the common law. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. In December 2003, a second amended complaint was filed and consolidated before the same judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In February 2004, motions to dismiss the class and individual actions pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District were filed. The motions are currently pending.
Mutual Funds
Citigroup and certain of its affiliates have been named in several class action litigations pending in various federal district courts arising out of alleged violations of the federal securities laws, the Investment Company Act and common law (including breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment). The claims concern practices in connection with the sale of mutual funds, including allegations involving market timing, revenue sharing, incentive payments for the sale of proprietary funds, undisclosed breakpoint discounts for the sale of certain classes of funds, inappropriate share class recommendations and
inappropriate fund investments. The litigations involving market timing have been consolidated under the MDL rules in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and the litigations involving revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs in these litigations generally seek unspecified compensatory damages, rescissionary damages, injunctive relief, costs and fees. In the principal market timing cases that name Citigroup, a lead plaintiff has been appointed but that plaintiff has not yet filed an amended complaint. In the cases concerning revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated and amended complaint on December 15, 2004.
Several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under scrutiny of federal and state regulators. Citigroup has received subpoenas and other requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, financing, fees, sales practices and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. Citigroup is cooperating with all such reviews.
Research Analyst Litigation
Since May 2002, CGM and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants in numerous alleged class action complaints, individual actions, and arbitration demands by purchasers of various securities alleging that they violated federal securities law, including Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain state laws for allegedly issuing research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and for allegedly failing to disclose conflicts of interest with companies in connection with published investment research, including Global Crossing, Ltd., AT&T Corp., Level 3 Communications, Inc., Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., XO Communications, Inc., Williams Communications Group Inc., and Focal Communications, Inc. The alleged class actions relating to research of these companies are pending before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated proceedings. The Court has consolidated these actions into separate proceedings corresponding to the companies named above. On December 2, 2004, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Citigroup related defendants' motions to dismiss the claims against it in the AT&T, Level 3, XO and Williams actions. On January 6, 2005, the Court granted in part and denied in part Citigroup's motion to dismiss the claims against it in the Metromedia action.
In addition to the alleged research class actions, several individual actions have been filed against Citigroup and CGM relating to, among other things, research on Qwest Communications International, Inc. These actions allege violations of state and federal securities laws in connection with CGM's publication of research about Qwest and its underwriting of Qwest securities.
Two alleged class actions against CGM asserting common law claims in connection with published investment research on behalf of CGM customers have been dismissed by United States District Courts, one of which was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and one of which is pending on appeal to the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Two more putative class actions raising similar claims are pending against CGM, one in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Norman v. Salomon Smith Barney, et al.) and the other in Illinois state court (Disher v. CGM Inc.). On June 9, 2004, the District Court denied CGMI's motion to dismiss Norman v. Salomon Smith Barney, et al., a case which asserts violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and various common law claims in connection with certain investors who maintained guided portfolio management accounts at Smith Barney.
Supervisory Investigation
In May 2003, the SEC, NYSE and NASD issued a subpoena and letters to CGM requesting documents and information with respect to their continuing investigation of individuals in connection with the supervision of the research and investment banking departments of CGM. Other parties to the Research Settlement have received similar subpoenas and letters.
West Virginia Attorney General Suit
On June 23, 2003, the West Virginia Attorney General filed an action against CGM and nine other firms that were parties to the Research Settlement. The West Virginia Attorney General alleges that the
firms violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act in connection with their research activities and seeks monetary penalties.
Citigroup Shareholder Litigation
In July 2002, Citigroup, CGM and certain officers were named as defendants in an alleged class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, brought on behalf of purchasers of Citigroup common stock between July 24, 1999 and July 23, 2002. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and for common law fraud. Fourteen virtually identical complaints have been filed and consolidated. The complaints allege that Citigroup misstated the extent of its Enron-related exposure, and that Citigroup's stock price fell once the true extent of Citigroup's Enron involvements became known. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 10, 2003, which incorporated the allegations in the 15 separate actions and added new material as well. The amended complaint focuses on certain transactions between Citigroup and Enron and alleged analyst conflicts of interest. The class period for the consolidated amended complaint is July 24, 1999 to December 11, 2002. On June 2, 2003, Citigroup filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs' response was filed on July 30, and Citigroup's reply was filed on October 3, 2003. On August 10, 2004, Judge Swain granted Citigroup's motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in October 2004.
NASD Settlement
In November 2004, CGM entered into a final agreement with the NASD to resolve the NASD's investigation into certain of its selling practices. Without admitting or denying any allegations or findings, CGM accepted certain factual findings by the NASD that it (i) sold units in two managed futures funds to 45 customers for whom the investment was not suitable, (ii) failed to maintain records disclosing the basis upon which its investor suitability determinations were made and (iii) failed to adequately disclose the risks of investing in managed futures products on its website. CGM consented to a censure and a fine of $275,000 and offered to redeem the investment of the customers for whom investment in the two managed futures funds was found not suitable.
In the course of its business, CGM, as a major futures commission merchant and broker-dealer is a party to various claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings that the general partner believes do not have a material adverse effect on the business of CGM.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The Partnership aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation through speculative trading in U.S. and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products and precious and base metals. The Partnership may employ futures, options on futures, and forward, spot and swap contracts in those markets.
The General Partner manages all business of the Partnership. The General Partner has delegated its responsibility for the investment of the Partnership's assets to JWH. The General Partner employs a team of approximately 20 professionals whose primary emphasis is on attempting to maintain quality control among the advisors to the Partnerships operated or managed by the General Partner. A full-time staff of due diligence professionals use state-of-the-art technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities. In selecting the Advisor for the Partnership, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements.
Responsibilities of the General Partner include:
• due diligence examinations of the Advisor;
• selection, appointment and termination of the Advisor;
• negotiation of the management agreement; and
• monitoring the activity of the Advisor.
In addition, the General Partner prepares the books and records and provides the administrative and compliance services that are required by law or regulation from time to time in connection with operation of the Partnership. These services include the preparation of required books and records and reports to limited partners, government agencies and regulators; computation of net asset value; calculation of fees; effecting subscriptions, redemptions and limited partner communications; and preparation of offering documents and sales literature.
The General Partner shall seek the best prices and services available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions. The General Partner reviews at least annually, the brokerage rates charged to commodity pools similar to the Partnership to determine that the brokerage fee the Partnership pays is competitive with other rates.
The Advisor specializes in managing institutional and individual capital in the global futures, interest rate and foreign exchange markets. Since 1981, JWH has developed and implemented proprietary trend-following trading techniques that focus on long-term trends.
JWH trades its Financials and Metals Portfolio ("F&M") and Original Investment Program ("Original") on behalf of the Partnership. Of the Partnership's assets allocated to JWH, 78% is currently traded using F&M and 22% is currently traded using Original, each of which is described below.
F&M seeks to identify and capitalize on intermediate-term price movements in four worldwide market sectors: currencies, interest rates, metals and global stock indicies. The program uses the three-phase investment style. Beginning in August 1992, the position size in relation to account equity in this program was reduced 50%. Since the changes were implemented in 1992, F&M has experience lower volatility.
Original seeks to capitalize on long-term trends in a broad spectrum of worldwide financial and non-financial futures markets including agricultural, currency, energy, interest rate, metals and global stock index contracts. This program uses the two-phase investment style.
(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 and cash equivalents, 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 loss in liquidity.
To minimize this risk relating to low margin deposits, the Partnership follows certain trading policies, including:
(i) The Partnership invests its assets only in commodity interests that the Advisor believes are traded in sufficient volume to permit ease of taking and liquidating positions. Sufficient volume, in this context, refers to a level of liquidity that the Advisor believes will permit it to enter and exit trades without noticeably moving the market.
(ii) The Advisor will not initiate additional positions in any commodity if these positions would result in aggregate positions requiring a margin of more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership's net assets allocated to the Advisor.
(iii) 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 clearinghouse, the physical commodity position is fully hedged.
(iv) The Partnership does not employ the trading technique commonly known as "pyramiding", in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions as margin for the purchases or sale of additional positions in the same or related commodities.
(v) The Partnership does not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
(vi) The Advisor 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 futures 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.
(vii) The Partnership will not permit the churning of its commodity trading account. The term "churning" refers to the practice of entering and exiting trades with a frequency unwarranted by legitimate efforts to profit from the trades, driven by the desire to generate commission income.
In the normal course of business, the Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are 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, or, in the case of derivative commodity interests, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery 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, swaps and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating 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 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 statements of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership's assets is CGM.
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. (See also "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further information on financial instrument risk included in the Notes to Financial Statements.)
Other than the risks inherent in commodity 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 requires dissolution of the Partnership under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership
Agreement including, but not limited to, a decrease in the net asset value of a Redeemable Unit to less than $500 as of the close of business on any business day, or a decrease in the aggregate net assets of the Partnership to less than $1,000,000, or on December 31, 2007.
(b) Capital resources.
(i) The Partnership has made no material commitments for capital expenditures.
(ii) The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on trading cannot be predicted. Market moves in commodities are dependent upon fundamental and technical factors which the Advisors may or may not be able to identify, such as changing supply and demand relationships, weather, government agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. Partnership expenses consist of, among other things, commissions, advisory fees and administrative fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon the level of trading 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. In addition, the amount of interest income payable by CGM 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 redeem some or all of their Redeemable Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last day of any calendar quarter on 10 business days' notice to the General Partner. For the year ended December 31, 2004, 104 Redeemable Units were redeemed for a total of $950,149. For the year ended December 31, 2003, 150 Redeemable Units were redeemed for a total of $1,395,441. For the year ended December 31, 2002, 144 Redeemable Units were redeemed for a total of $1,094,685.
(c) Results of Operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 6.8% from $9,420.58 to $10,057.19. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 15.7% from $8,139.52 to $9,420.58. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 32.5% from $6,141.80 to $8,139.52.
The Partnership experienced net trading gains of $2,409,786 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in energy, grains and U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses in currencies, livestock, metals, softs and indices.
Trading results for the year 2004 can be described in three distinct periods: the first two months of the year produced positive results of 9% with trends carrying over from late 2003, the middle five months experienced extraordinarily difficult conditions and losses of approximately 33% from record highs for the Partnership, and the third period, August through December, saw a recovery of nearly 45% but from a lower base. Through all of this volatility the Partnership ended the year up 6.76%. The results for the year were heavily influenced by two historic trends: the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar versus major currencies and the run-up in the price of crude oil to over $50 a barrel.
The year started strongly with many of the trends from late 2003 continuing into early 2004. Notably lower interest rates in the U.S. and other major countries fostered strong global economic growth and pressured commodity prices. These resulted in upward trends in many sectors, especially energy, metals and grains and provided profitable trading opportunities for the Partnership's advisor. These trends persisted into early March when economic indicators in the U.S. and China suggested rising inflation and markets reversed with higher interest rates, collapsing commodity prices and the dollar reversal.
This began a protracted period of tentative and conflicting trends across many sectors. As expected in the nature of trend-following, the strength of profitable trends is often followed by temporary but often severe periods of losses. Late March through July was such a period for the Partnership's advisor as positions were adjusted from what had been profitable, long-term trends to choppy, directionless and volatile markets. Trading was treacherous and thus unprofitable in U.S. and Asian interest rates and global stock indices while energy, metals and grains provided some offsetting profits. The fundamental
economic concerns hanging over these markets were further exacerbated by the uncertainty surrounding the tightly contested U.S. presidential election.
With the year looking dismal going into the late summer, the price of crude oil resumed its climb to $50 a barrel brought on by a deteriorating security situation in Iraq, Saudi Arabia political turmoil, and renewed threats of terrorism. Long positions in the energy sector continued to provide profits to the Partnership through the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter. In late August the U.S. dollar began a further slide toward $1.40 to the euro. These renewed trends in currency prices combined with declining interest rates and stronger global stock markets were favorable to the Partnership's advisor and provided a solidly profitable August through December for the Partnership's advisor. In spite of an extremely difficult and challenging year, the Partnership had an overall increase in net asset value per unit for the year.
The Partnership experienced net trading gains of $4,156,852 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, livestock, metals and indices and were partially offset by losses in the trading of energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and softs.
Overall, the JWH programs had a good year on behalf of the Partnership for 2003 much as a result of the trading models used. The financial programs participated successfully in the declining value of the U.S. dollar and lower global interest rates. On the other hand, the diversified programs employed by the Advisor traded several sectors, including agricultural and energy markets, and some financial programs also actively traded the energy complex. In both of these cases, the inclusion of these sectors was a slight drag on overall performance. Energy markets showed extremely choppy behavior, especially in the second half of the year, while the agricultural sector was driven lower by losses in the soft commodities of coffee, sugar, and cotton.
Over the course of the year, on a very broad basis, the year 2003 can be divided into three periods: the time surrounding the Iraq War (January through May), the transition to higher world growth (June through October), and the renewed dollar decline (November and December).
The Iraq war was the focus for much of the first half of the year. Like any uncertain event, there is the market reaction to the impending event, the event itself when uncertainty is resolved and the response to the event. The first two months of the year represented the pre-war uncertainty. With uncertainty concerning when hostilities would begin and the possible impact of these events, investors showed a desire to move to a defensive and conservative stance. Equity markets sold-off, the dollar sold-off, gold prices rose, bond markets rallied, and the energy markets exhibited a risk premium concerning potential supply disruptions. This was a continuation of many of the trends carried over from 2002. During the first two months of the year, the Advisor's programs had solid performance, up approximately 14%.
Just prior to the inception of the hostilities, JWH reduced leverage in all programs by 50 percent, in expectation of higher volatility in the markets. Markets were more volatile with a reduction of liquidity in response to events in March. During this period, bond markets sold-off, the dollar stabilized, crude oil prices declined significantly, and the stock market started to rally. Even with this reduced leverage the markets were volatile and prior trends disrupted leading to losses for the month of March. Positions returned to normal leverage in all programs in April and May saw a solid recovery of Partnership performance with profits coming from short dollar, long interest rate and long commodity positions. The Advisor performance during these periods was consistent with its past actions in uncertain and potentially highly volatile markets. The General Partner was aware of and acknowledged the Advisor's actions as appropriate for the conditions of the economic and political environment.
In a transition to economic recovery and growth, the major markets began to reflect changed expectations in the middle of June. The announcements of consistent, positive macroeconomic news led to the unexpected pronouncement of no further easing actions by the European Central Bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve. News of stronger growth, especially in the U.S., suggested that deflationary expectations may have been over-done; consequently, there was a trend change and interest rates moved up off 40 year lows. Additionally, the dollar actually rallied on the positive U.S. economic news, reversing the slide from earlier in the year. In both cases, the programs saw a giveback of trading profits, as the markets transitioned to new trends.
While there were gains in stock index trading, the Advisor's exposure in these markets has been relatively low; so they were not able to make a sustainable impact on performance. In additional to this negative market action, there were further increases in volatility for the energy sector and growing volatility within a relatively tight range for many agricultural markets. The third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter were unprofitable for the Advisor's trading programs. This was the result of a transition to higher worldwide economic growth.
The final period of 2003 was the renewed dollar decline beginning in late November. Regardless of the strong growth exhibited in the United States in the third quarter, the best in 20 years, the dollar began a new significant slide against both the euro and yen. This led to a fourth quarter profit.
The Partnership experienced net trading gains of $6,602,808 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock and indices and were partially offset by losses in the trading of softs and metals.
It should be noted that commodity 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 Advisor 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 international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
(d) Operational Risk.
The Partnership 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 Partnership 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 Partnership's ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers, among Redeemable Units within the Partnership, and in the markets where the Partnership participates.
Legal/Documentation Risk - the risk of loss attributable to deficiencies in the documentation of transactions (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 Partnership's limited partners, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors.
(e) Critical Accounting Policies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
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 statements of financial condition at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available or other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by management of the General Partner for those commodity interests and foreign currencies for which market quotations are not readily available, including dealer quotes for swaps and certain option contracts. 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 period. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on commodity interests and foreign currencies 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.
Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting dates, is included in the statements of financial condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in the statements of income and expenses and partners' capital.
The General Partner believes that the accounting policies that will be most critical to the Partnership's financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Partnership's positions. The majority of the Partnership's positions will be exchange-traded futures contracts, which will be valued daily at settlement prices published by the exchanges. If applicable, the Partnership's spot and forward foreign currency contracts will also be valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers' quotes. The General Partner expects that under normal circumstances substantially all of the Partnership's assets will be valued by objective measures and without difficulty.
Item 7A.
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.
The risk to the limited partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of Partnership assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
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 results among the Partnership's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
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 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 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 Advisor 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.
The fair value of the Partnership's futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the Advisor trades 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, 2004 and the highest and lowest value at any point during the year. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership's total capitalization was $21,523,337.
December 31,
* monthly average based on month-end value at risk.
As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership's total capitalization was $21,140,673.
December 31,
* monthly average based on month-end value at risk.
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 maintenance margin requirement (margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value) as well as many times 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.
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. 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, 2004, by market sector.
Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly affect 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-8 countries. However, the Partnership also takes futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations - e.g., Australia.
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 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. 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 U.S. dollar-based Partnership in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
Stock Indices. The Partnership's primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of
December 31, 2004, the Partnership's primary exposures were in the EUREX (Germany) stock indices. The General Partner anticipates little, if any, trading in non-G-8 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 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.
Softs. The Partnership's primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Cocoa, cotton, coffee and sugar accounted for the substantial bulk of the Partnership's commodity exposure as of December 31, 2004.
Energy. The Partnership's primary energy market exposure is oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East. Oil prices 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, 2004.
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, Euro dollars and Canadian dollars. The Advisor regularly converts foreign currency balances to dollars in an attempt to control the Partnership's non-trading risk.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
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.
The General Partner monitors the Partnership's performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisor concerning the Partnership's overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner could require the Advisor to close out individual positions as well as enter certain positions 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.
The Advisor applies its own risk management policies to its trading. The Advisor often follows diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisor's 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 Advisor to discuss their risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisor's portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisor is required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to their programs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Partners of
Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II (the Partnership), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and expenses, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations, changes in its partners' capital, and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Partnership Organization:
Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 1987 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 was authorized to sell 30,000 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Redeemable Units") during its initial offering period.
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, formerly Smith Barney Futures Management LLC, acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. The Partnership's commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGM"), formerly Salomon Smith Barney Inc. CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. ("CGMHI"), formerly Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc., which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI 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 their initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2007; the Net Asset Value of a Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $500 per Redeemable Unit; the aggregate net assets of the Partnership decline to less than $1,000,000; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
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 statements 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 gains (losses) on open positions 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. Commission charges to open and close futures contracts are expensed at the time the positions are opened.
c. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership's income and expenses.
d. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent 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. Management Agreements:
The General Partner has entered into Management Agreement with John W. Henry & Company, Inc., (the "Advisor"). The Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion to determine the investment of the assets of the Partnership, subject to the Partnership's trading policies set forth in the Partnership's prospectus. Pursuant to the management agreement, the Advisor is entitled to an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreement, on the assets under the Advisor's management.
b. Customer Agreement:
The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement, which has been assigned to CGM, from a predecessor company, whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Partnership's account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. The Partnership is obligated to pay brokerage commissions to CGM at $50 per roundturn futures and forwards transaction and $25 per option transaction which includes floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and National Futures Association fees. All of the Partnership's assets are deposited in the Partnership's account at CGM. The Partnership's cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $5,079,862 and $3,593,800, respectively. CGM has agreed to pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at the rate of the average non-competitive 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 CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
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 activities are shown in the statements of income and expenses.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The average fair value during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, based on a monthly calculation, was $1,235,080 and $1,355,704, respectively.
5. Distributions and Redemptions:
Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the General Partner; however, each limited partner may redeem some or all of their Redeemable Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last day of any calendar quarter on ten business days notice to the General Partner, provided that no redemption may result in the limited partner holding fewer than three Redeemable Units after such redemption is effected.

6. Financial Highlights:
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:
*** Interest income less total expenses (exclusive of incentive fees)
The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the limited partner class using the limited partners' share of income, expenses and average net assets.
7. Financial Instrument Risks:
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are 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, through physical delivery 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

Notes to Financial Statements
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 a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership's assets is CGM.
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 majority of these instruments mature within one year of December 31, 2004. However, due to the nature of the Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
Selected unaudited quarterly financial data for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized below:
Item 9.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
