IDS MANAGED FUTURES, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2003

(1)     General Information and Summary

IDS Managed Futures, L.P. (the Partnership), a limited partnership organized on December 16, 1986 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, was formed to engage in the speculative trading of commodity interests including futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and related options thereon pursuant to the trading instructions of independent trading advisors. The Partnership began trading on June 16, 1986. The general partners are IDS Futures Corporation (IDSFC) and CIS Investments, Inc. (CISI) (collectively, the General Partners). The clearing broker is Cargill Investor Services, Inc. (Clearing Broker or CIS), the parent company of CISI. The broker for forward contracts is CIS Financial Services, Inc. (CISFS or Forwards Currency Broker), an affiliate of CISI. The Clearing Broker and the Forwards Currency Broker will collectively be referred to as the Brokers.

Units of the Partnership representing an additional investment of $80,000,000 were offered through April 30, 2001 by American Express Financial Advisors, Inc. (AEFA Advisors), formerly IDS Financial Services Inc. By March 31, 2003, a total of 239,274.23 units representing a total investment of $66,263,938 of limited partnership interest had been sold in the combined offerings. During the offerings, the General Partners purchased a total of 2,883.57 additional units representing a total investment of $560,110. Selling commissions and organizational and offering expenses of $6,133,679 were paid by the new limited partners. See the IDS Managed Futures, L.P. prospectus dated April 11, 2000, as supplemented January 1, 2001, for further details concerning the offerings. Commencing May 1, 2001, the Partnership no longer accepts new investors.

The Partnership shall be terminated on December 31, 2006 if none of the following occur prior to that date: (1) investors holding more than 50% of the outstanding units notify the General Partners to dissolve the Partnership as of a specific date; (2) disassociation of the General Partners with the Partnership; (3) bankruptcy of the Partnership; (4) decrease in the net asset value (NAV) to less than $500,000; (5) the Partnership is declared unlawful; or (6) the NAV per unit declines to less than $125 per unit and the Partners elect to terminate the Partnership.

(2)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Partnership conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the commodities industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies that the Partnership follows in preparing its financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and related options are recorded on the trade date. All such transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis and marked to market daily. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts reflected in the statements of financial condition represent the difference between original contract amount and market value (as determined by exchange settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and cash dealer prices at a predetermined time for forward contracts, physical commodities, and their related options) as of the last business day of the year or as of the last date of the financial statements.

The Partnership earns interest on 100% of the Partnership’s average monthly cash balance on deposit with the Brokers at a rate equal to 90% of the average 91-day Treasury bill rate for U.S. Treasury bills issued during that month.

Redemptions

A Limited Partner may cause any or all of his or her units to be redeemed by the Partnership effective as of the last trading day of any month. Redemptions are based on the NAV per unit on ten days’ written notice to the General Partners. Payment will be made within ten business days of the effective date of the redemption. The Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement contains a full description of redemption and distribution procedures.

Selling Commissions and Organizational and Offering Costs

Selling commissions and ongoing organizational and offering costs are paid by all new investors.

Commissions

The partnership pays ICS commissions on trades executed on its behalf at a rate of 17.50 per half turn contract. The Partnership pays this commission directly to CIS and CISFS, and CIS then reallocates the appropriate portion to AEFA Advisors.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Trading accounts in foreign currency denominations are susceptible both to movements in the underlying contract markets as well as to fluctuation in currency rates. Foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars for closed positions at an average exchange rate for the period, while period-end balances are translated at the period-end currency rates. The impact of the translation is reflected in the statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

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 and 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 those estimates.

(3)     Fees

Management fees are accrued and paid monthly, incentive fees are accrued monthly and paid quarterly, and General Partners' administrative fees are paid annually and amortized monthly. Trading decisions for the period of these financial statements were made by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (JWH).

Under signed agreement, JWH receives a monthly management fee of 1/12 of 2% of the month-end NAV of the Partnership under its management and an incentive fee of 20% of the Partnership’s new trading profits, if any, attributable to its management.

The Partnership pays an annual administrative fee of 1.125% and .25% of the beginning of the year NAV of the Partnership to IDSFC and CISI, respectively.

(4)     Income Taxes

No provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each partner is responsible for reporting income (loss) based on such partner’s pro rata share of the profits or losses of the Partnership. The Partnership is responsible for the Illinois State Partnership Information and Replacement Tax based on the operating results of the Partnership. Such tax amounted to $0 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 and is included in operating expenses in the statements of operations.

(5)     Trading Activities and Related Risks

The Partnership’s investment in other commodity pools are recorded at fair value and are subject to the market and credit risks of financial instruments and commodity contracts held or sold short by those entities. The Partnership bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of its respective investments.

The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, options on U.S. and foreign futures contracts, and forward contracts (collectively derivatives). These derivatives include both financial and non-financial contracts held as part of a diversified trading strategy. The Partnership is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

The purchase and sale of futures contracts and options on futures contracts requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act (CE Act) requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property, such as U.S. Treasury bills, deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited.

The Partnership has cash on deposit with an affiliated interbank market maker in connection with its trading of forward contracts. In the event of the interbank market maker’s insolvency, recovery of the Partnership assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits. In the normal course of business, the Partnership does not require collateral from such interbank market maker. Because forward contracts are traded in unregulated markets between principals, the Partnership also assumes a credit risk.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Partnership is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership pays or receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option.

The notional amounts of open contracts at March 31, 2003, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, do not represent the Partnership’s risk of loss due to market and credit risk, but rather represent the extent of the Partnership’s involvement in derivatives at the date of the statement of financial condition.

Net trading results from derivatives for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, are reflected in the statements of operations and equal gains (losses) from trading less brokerage commissions. Such trading results reflect the net gain arising from the Partnership’s speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward contracts.

The Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments.

(6)     Financial Statement Preparation

The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2003, as part of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the fiscal year.

(7)     Investments in Other Commodity Pools

In December 2001, the Partnership invested in another commodity pool, IDS Managed Fund LLC (IDSMF). The investment is subject to the terms of the respective advisory contract and other agreements of this commodity pool.

Income (loss) is net of the Partnership’s proportionate share of fees and expenses incurred or charged by IDSMF. During 2003, IDSMF charged monthly management fees of 1/12 of 2% of the NAV and a quarterly incentive fee of 20% of trading profits and paid such amounts to Sunrise Capital Partners, LLC (Sunrise), the sole CTA.

Investment value in IDSMF is based on the proportionate share of units the partnership has in IDSMF at the end of each month. The Partnership’s risk of loss in its investee pool is limited to its investment. The Partnership may make additional contributions to or withdrawals from its investment in IDSMF as of the last day of any month.

Summarized information reflecting the Partnership’s investment in, and the operations of, the investee pool is as shown in the following table.

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

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2003

The Partnership recorded a net profit of $3,325,047 or $40.43 per unit in the first quarter of 2003. As of March 31, the Partnership has gained 10.78% for the first quarter.

In January, the currency sector supplied most of the month’s gain. Non-dollar trading had the largest effect on performance. The Partnership’s long Euro, short Yen position was the most profitable position in this sector capitalizing on the very slow growth rate of Japan. Additional gains were made in the long U.S. dollar, short Yen position as well as the Swiss Franc. The steady slowing of the world’s economies fueled the decline of worldwide interest rates. Positions denominated in Euro and Yen were the most profitable. Gains were also posted in the British and U.S. markets. The energy portfolio of the Partnership was positive despite a small allocation to this sector. The uncertainty of the Middle East cast a dark shadow over all markets. The remainder of the market sectors traded had little impact on performance. Overall, the Partnership recorded a gain of $3,319,302 or $40.50 per unit in January.

The Partnership continued its positive performance in February. The impending war with Iraq, slowing global economies, a weaker U.S. dollar and high energy prices became a recurring theme in the quarter. The currency sector was unchanged in February. The long Euro, short British pound position had the best return of the sector. The Australian dollar and the Swiss franc also performed well. The Japanese yen and the British pound suffered the largest losses due to the sharp reversal from January’s rally. All geographic components of the interest rate sector posted positive results as money market and bond yields worldwide continued to move lower. Notable returns were achieved in the Euro Bund, the U.S. 30-year and 10-year bonds and the Japanese Government bond. The energy sector was the second-best performing sector for the month. The highest returns came from London gas oil and NYMEX natural gas. Gold prices dropped $40 after the German Bundesbank announced that it had sold a portion of its gold reserves. This was the primary reason for negative performance from this sector. Overall, the Partnership recorded a gain of $1,497,771 or $18.49 per unit in February.

The Partnership closed lower in March as the war in Iraq created volatile moves in the world’s financial and commodity markets. Nearly all markets traded in the interest rate sector were negative as a whipsaw action in the U.S. dollar and interest rates led to losses. This was due to disappointing news in the progress of the war in Iraq. The nearly 35% rise in crude oil since mid-December was erased in just over one week’s time immediately before the start of the war. This caused negative performance in the energy sector. The metal and agricultural sectors had little impact on performance. The stock index sector was the only positive performer for the month. The Partnership recorded a loss of $1,492,026 or $18.56 per unit in March.

In early March, out of concern for heightened volatility in global markets, JWH reduced the Partnership’s exposure to all markets traded but continued to follow its disciplined trading approach. Normal market leverage will resume when it is deemed appropriate.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 2,494.63 units. At the end of the quarter there were 79,449.25 units outstanding (including 1,829.41 units owned by the General Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2003, the Partnership had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange.

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2002

The Partnership recorded a loss of $2,570,421 or $26.67 per unit for the first quarter of 2002.

Performance throughout the quarter was disappointing. Volatile Japanese markets were the primary source of performance problems. On March 30, 2002, JWH was managing 60% of the Partnership’s assets while Sunrise was managing 40% of the Partnership’s assets.

In January, performance was positive in the currency and energy sectors while interest rate, metal, stock index and commodity markets posted losses. The most significant gains came from the currency sector where the Japanese yen continued to lose value. This was beneficial to the Partnership because the short Yen position was the largest in the portfolio. Trading in all other currency markets was negative. The Enron news created a “flight to quality” situation which led to higher U.S. and European bond prices. These news items and others ceased the selling activity in global bonds and caused losses in the Partnership’s long positions. Profitable short positions in Japanese Government bonds were not large enough to make interest rate trading profitable. The energy sector posted a very small gain as short positions in natural gas exceeded losses taken in all other energy markets. Overall, the Partnership recorded a loss of $286,930 or $2.93 per unit in January.

During February, fluctuating price patterns continued which led to a difficult month for the Partnership. The key element in performance was the trend reversals in the Japanese financial markets. The Nikkei (stock index), Japanese government bonds and the Yen accounted for approximately one half of the losses in the portfolio. Losses in the currency sector also occurred in the British pound, Swiss franc and Euro. As mentioned above, trading in Japanese government bonds was negative. Further losses in the interest rate sector occurred in U.S. bond trading. Trading in European bonds was negative as well. Open trade profits accrued in short term interest rates helped offset some of the losses incurred by the balance of the sector. Performance in the energy sector was also unprofitable. Short positions in crude oil, natural gas and gasoline suffered as prices rose throughout the sector. Gold prices continued to rise, which allowed the Partnership’s long positions to accrue profits. The Partnership recorded a loss of $1,339,565 or $13.86 per unit in February.

March was another disappointing month. Positive returns from the energy and interest rate sectors were overpowered by losses in the currency sector. Currencies, particularly the Yen, were hit hard during March. Japanese corporations spurred a rally in the Yen when they actively repatriated Yen for year-end accounting purposes. This proved to be detrimental for the Partnership’s short Yen position. The U.S. dollar traded in a sideways pattern against the British pound, Swiss franc and Euro, resulting in additional losses. The energy and interest rate sectors turned in a positive performance. Profits accrued in short positions in Euro denominated markets out weighed losses in the Japanese bond market. For the month, the Partnership recorded a loss of $943,926 or $9.87 per unit in March.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 3,699.64 units. At the end of the quarter there were 93,937.18 units outstanding (including 1,938.83 units owned by the General Partners).
