PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

Following are Financial Statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004 and the additional time frames as noted:

IDS MANAGED FUTURES, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004

(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, 1987. 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 limited partnership interest representing an 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 May 1, 2001, a total of 239,274.23 units representing a total investment of $66,263,938 of limited partnership interests 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 limited partners during the offering period. Refer to 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 on open futures contracts reflected in the statements of financial condition represents 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 as of the last day of the month and require 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.

Commissions

The Partnership pays CIS 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. For the periods ending June 30, 2004 and 2003, JWH was managing approximately 71% of the Partnership’s assets while Sunrise Capital Partners, LLC was indirectly managing 29% of the Partnership’s assets.

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 June 30, 2004 and 2003 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 a 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 a FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of a 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 June 30, 2004, as disclosed in the Condensed 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 statements of financial condition.

Net trading results from derivatives for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, 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)    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 2004, IDSMF charged monthly management fees of 1/12 of 2% of the NAV and a quarterly incentive fee of 20% of new trading profits and paid such amounts to Sunrise Capital Partners, LLC, the sole Commodity Trading Advisor (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.

The following table is a summary of IDSMF’s net assets, at June 30, 2004.

(7)   Financial Highlights

The following financial highlights show the Partnership’s financial performance for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s investment over the entire period and is not annualized. Total return is calculated based on the aggregate return of the Partnership taken as a whole.

The net income and expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average net assets for the Partnership for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and are not annualized. Ratios do not reflect income or expenses related to investment in other commodity pools.

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

(a)   Capital Resources

The Partnership’s capital resources fluctuate based upon the redemption of units and the gains and losses of the Partnership’s trading activities. For the period-ended June 30, 2004, Limited Partners redeemed a total of 5,089.10 units for $2,174,937 and for the period-ended June 30, 2003, Limited Partners redeemed a total of 6,317.05 units for $2,708,795.

The Partnership’s involvement in the futures and forward markets exposes the Partnership to both market risk – the risk arising from changes in the market value of the futures and forward contracts held by the Partnership – and credit risk – the risk that another party to a contract will fail to perform its obligations according to the terms of the contract. The Partnership is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of the futures and forward contracts purchased and theoretically unlimited risk of loss on contracts sold short. The Partnership’s commodity trading advisors (Advisors) monitor the Partnership’s trading activities and attempt to control the Partnership’s exposure to market risk by, among other things, refining their trading strategies, adjusting position sizes of the Partnership’s futures and forward contacts and re-allocating Partnership assets to different market sectors. The Partnership’s primary exposure to credit risk is its exposure to the non-performance of the Forwards Currency Broker. The Forwards Currency Broker generally enters into forward contracts with large, well-capitalized institutions and then enters into a back-to-back contract with the Partnership. The Partnership also may trade on exchanges that do not have associated clearing houses whose credit supports the obligations of its members and operate as principals markets, in which case the Partnership will be exposed to the credit risk of the other party to such trades.

The Partnership’s trading activities involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market values of the futures and forward contracts underlying the financial instruments or the Partnership’s satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition of the Partnership.

The Partnership borrows only to a limited extent and only on a strictly short-term basis in order to finance losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated trading positions pending the conversion of the Partnership’s dollar deposits. These borrowings are at a prevailing short-term rate in the relevant currency. They have been immaterial to the Partnership’s operation to date and are expected to continue to be so.

During the fiscal period-ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership had no credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange which was material.

(b)   Liquidity

The Partnership’s net assets are held in brokerage accounts with CIS and CISFS. Except in very unusual circumstances, the Partnership should be able to close out any or all of its open trading positions and liquidate any or all of its securities holdings quickly and at market prices. This should permit the Advisors to limit losses as well as reduce market exposure on short notice should their programs indicate reducing market exposure.

The Partnership earned interest on 100% of the Partnership’s average monthly cash balance at a rate equal to 90% of the average yield on the 91-day U.S. Treasury bills issued during that month. For the period ended June 30, 2004, CIS had paid or accrued to pay interest of $95,812 to the Partnership and for the period ended June 30, 2003, CIS had paid or accrued to pay interest of $112,610 to the Partnership.

Most United States commodity exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation in commodity futures contract prices during a single trading day by regulations. These regulations specify what are referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits”. The daily limits establish the maximum amount the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular commodity, no trades may be made at a price beyond the limit. Positions in the commodity could then be taken or liquidated only if traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit during the period for trading on such day. Because the “daily limit” rule only governs price movement for a particular trading day, it does not limit losses. In the past, futures prices have moved the daily limit for numerous consecutive trading days and thereby prevented prompt liquidation of futures positions on one side of the market, subjecting commodity futures traders holding such positions to substantial losses for those days.

It is also possible for an exchange or the CFTC to suspend trading in a particular contract, order immediate settlement of a particular contract, or direct that trading in a particular contract be for liquidation only.

(c)   Results of Operations

The Partnership’s success depends on the Advisors’ ability to recognize and capitalize on major price movements and other profit opportunities in different sectors of the world economy. Because of the speculative nature of their trading, operational or economic trends have little relevance to the Partnership’s results, and its past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results. The General Partners believe, however, that there are certain market conditions — for example, markets with major price movements — in which the Partnership has a better opportunity of being profitable than in others.

The Advisors’ programs do not predict price movements. No fundamental economic supply or demand analysis is used in attempting to identify mispricings in the market, and no macroeconomic assessments of the relative strengths of different national economies or economic sectors is made. Instead, the programs apply proprietary computer models to analyze past market data, and from this data alone attempt to determine whether market prices are trending. Technical traders such as the Advisors base their strategies on the theory that market prices reflect the collective judgment of numerous different traders and are, accordingly, the best and most efficient indication of market movements. However, there are frequent periods during which fundamental factors external to the market dominate prices.

If the Advisors’ models identify a trend, they signal positions which follow it. When these models identify the trend as having ended or reversed, these positions are either closed out or reversed. Due to their trend-following character, the Advisors programs do not predict either the commencement or the end of a price movement. Rather, their objective is to identify a trend early enough to profit from it and to detect its end or reversal in time to close out the Partnership’s positions while retaining most of the profits made from following the trend.

The performance summaries set forth below outline certain major price trends which the Advisors’ programs have identified for the Partnership during the first and second quarters of fiscal years 2004 and 2003. The fact that certain trends were captured does not imply that others, perhaps larger and potentially more profitable trends, were not missed or that the Advisors will be able to capture similar trends in the future. Moreover, the fact that the programs were profitable in certain market sectors in the past does not mean that they will be so in the future.

The performance summaries are an outline description of how the Partnership performed in the past, not necessarily any indication of how it will perform in the future. Furthermore, the general causes to which certain trends are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such trends, as opposed to simply having occurred at about the same time. While there can be no assurance that the Advisors will be profitable even in trending markets, markets in which substantial and sustained price movements occur offer the best profit potential for the Partnership.

Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2004

The Partnership recorded a loss of $5,630,110 or $(84.06) per unit for the second quarter of 2004. On June 30, 2004, JWH was managing 71% of the Partnership’s assets while Sunrise was managing 29% of the Partnership’s assets.

The second quarter of 2004 produced no meaningful trends. In April, the markets continued to focus on growing expectations of higher U.S. interest rates. Speculation about the timing and scope of the possible tightening contributed to high volatility and major price reversals particularly in the currencies and global equity indices.

The U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies in response to U.S. job creation. Consumer confidence and manufacturing activity appear to be waning in Germany, exerting downward pressure on the Euro. Expectations of rising rates also sent the prices of long-term interest rate futures to their lowest levels in several months. The Swiss franc and Euro were the best performers while the Japanese yen was the major detractor.

Indices were negative in April. More than half of the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index reported earnings and 78% of these surpassed analysts’ forecasts. Japanese equity markets were strong all month while the U.S. and some of the European stock markets faltered later in the month.

A slowing of the Chinese economy and possible decline in the global demand for commodities put downward pressure on prices. Cotton and London sugar had the best performance while wheat had the largest loss.

Metals also felt the downward pressure Precious metal investors liquidated long positions which had been a hedge against the negative real rate of return in the U.S.

Energies were profitable in April. Concerns about continued violence in the Middle East and increased global consumer demand helped to maintain prices at their current lofty levels. Natural gas was the only negative component in this sector.

In May, a number of factors created uncertainty in the financial markets and prevented strong trends from emerging. The month was dominated by developments in the oil market, U.S. interest rates and the possibility of inflation.

The exceptions to the non-definition were the energy markets. The price of oil reached record highs on continued supply concerns and increased geopolitical risk. China’s increasing appetite for petroleum placed additional strain on available production while Saudi Arabia’s offer to increase production had little effect on stabilizing the price of crude oil. All components in this sector were profitable with best performance coming from London gas oil and crude oil.

Although choppy, the fixed income markets produced positive results. The U.S. economy continues to show signs of improvement with fears of rising inflation diminishing. The best results were achieved in the Euro Bund. The largest losses occurred in the Japanese Government bond and the Australian 10-year bond.

The currency sector was negative in May. The U.S. dollar was heavily influenced in the beginning of the month by the release of improving economic numbers and revised expectations for continued growth in the U.S. The best results from this sector were achieved in the British pound / Japanese yen cross and the Australian dollar. The largest detractors from performance were the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc.

The major global equity markets continue to struggle. World GDP continues at a strong pace; however, concerns over rising interest rates and high energy prices have reduced enthusiasm for stocks. This sector failed to register any components in positive territory with the largest loss coming from the Nikkei.

The agricultural sector was negative for May. Coffee prices surged higher due to fears of frost and other weather delays regarding the Brazilian coffee harvest. Live cattle made large gains this month after comments by USDA Secretary Veneman indicated uncertainties surrounding the resumption of Canadian cattle imports to the U.S. New York coffee had the best performance in this sector. Corn and soybeans has the largest losses.

The metals sector was unprofitable in May. Metal prices fell lower for most of the month. Base metals came under pressure due to prospects that China’s demand for raw materials will weaken as its economy slows. This sector failed to register any components in positive territory with the largest loss coming from aluminum.

Overall, the Partnership was negative for the month of June. Financial markets were relatively quiet during the month, waiting for a few critical events scheduled for the end of June: the long-anticipated first rate increase by the Federal Reserve, the handover of power in Iraq, U.S. employment data and the continued slowing of the Chinese economy.

While the rate increase was in line with expectations, jobless claims and manufacturing data proved to be slightly worse than expected and had a much bigger impact on the market than the rate hike alone. In Europe, German bond prices rose after a report was released showing that German business confidence had dropped unexpectedly. Japanese interest rates rose driving yields to their highest level in 4 years. The best performer was the 3-month Eurodollar contract and the largest losses were Japanese Government bond and Euro Bund.

The foreign exchange sector was negative for June. The U.S. dollar was essentially flat, ending the month with little change. The Japanese yen strengthened against most currencies on prospects of continued economic expansion. Minor currencies were mixed against the U.S. dollar. Profits were generated in Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen options. The largest losses were from the Japanese yen and Euro/British pound cross.

Stock indices were positive for June. Major stock markets continued to climb higher after their slide in mid-May, although single-digit earnings growth in major markets, the high cost of energy and the anticipation of rising interest rates dampened enthusiasm. The best return came from Australian SPI 200 and the largest loss was in the Eurostoxx 50.

The energy sector was negative for June. These markets continue to be volatile with a bias upward. Crude oil and related prices remain robust as a result of the strong growth in the U.S. and China and continuing tensions in the Middle East. The best performer was London gas oil and the largest losses came from Nymex crude oil and natural gas.

The agricultural sector was negative for June. Decreased demand from China put downward pressure on the grains. Coffee felt the weight of increased production in Brazil. The price of cotton moved lower anticipating increased plantings in other countries. Cotton gave the best return and New York coffee and soybeans were the largest losses.

The metals sector was positive this month. The price of gold and silver fell at the beginning of the month against a strengthening U.S. dollar, with gold being buoyed again by the weakening U.S. dollar toward month end. Base metals initially moved lower anticipating decreased demand from China however low levels of global inventories pushed prices higher by month end. The best performer was silver and the largest losses came from aluminum and gold.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 2,518.59 units. At the end of the quarter there were 64,771.77 units outstanding (including 1,829.41 units owned by the General Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004 the Partnership had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange.

Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2003

The Partnership recorded a net profit of $1,355,381 or $16.97 per unit in the second quarter of 2003.

IDS Managed Futures, L.P. began the quarter with gains in April and a strong May but closed lower in June. Overall, it ended the quarter in positive territory. On June 30, 2003, JWH was managing 73% of the Partnership’s assets while Sunrise was indirectly managing 27% of the Partnership’s assets.

The Partnership ended April in positive territory as the swift victory in Iraq impacted markets worldwide. The currency sector was primarily responsible for the Partnership’s gain in April. The initial enthusiasm for the U.S. dollar in a post-Iraqi war world gave way to bleak fundamentals. The U.S. deficit continued to weigh heavily on the Dollar. Non-Dollar trading had the largest effect on trading profits, specifically, the long Euro/short Yen, long Euro/short British pound, and the long Australian dollar positions. The interest rate sector was positive largely due to a long position in the Japanese 10-year Government bond. The stock index position was down slightly. Most equity markets rallied around the world, encouraged by the quick end to major conflict in Iraq. Energies were marginally positive in April. The fewer than expected oil field fires in Iraq put considerable downward pressure on the price per barrel. Natural gas rallied most of the month on weather related issues and storage deficits. Contrary to the Partnership’s position, gold rallied in early April in expectation of the next inflationary cycle. This led to negative performance in the metal sector. Agricultural products were slightly profitable for the month. In response to the conclusion of the major fighting in the Iraqi war, JWH did resume full leverage in the trading program effective April 10. The decision to reduce exposure to all markets during the Iraqi conflict proved to be beneficial for investors. Overall, the Partnership recorded a gain of $311,808 or $3.92 per unit in April.

The Partnership also posted positive results for the month of May. Currencies were the best performing sector for May due mainly to the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Investments in the fixed income sector were positive for the month of May, as yields continued to trend lower.  The biggest contributors were the Euro Bunds, U.S. 30-year Bonds, Japanese Government 10-year Bonds, and the U.S. 10-year Notes.  Stock indices were negative for May due primarily to the poor performance in the Japanese Osaka Nikkei Index.  The Nasdaq E-Mini 100 Index turned in the best performance for this sector.  Energies posted negative results in May.  All crude and crude-related products were down as a result of the markets rallying due to short supply factors.  The only positive component in this sector was natural gas. Agricultural products were negative for May. The largest detractors were corn and New York coffee, while the largest positive contributor was cotton. Metals were slightly down for May.  Losses occurred in copper, silver and aluminum. Only gold managed to perform in positive territory. Overall, the Partnership recorded a gain of $2,585,417 or $33.11 per unit in May.

Overall, the Partnership was down in June, which started out as a promising month, but turned abruptly negative during the last two weeks. Two trends that were reestablished after the Iraqi War -- a weakening Dollar and falling global interest rates -- reversed course sharply as hints of improving economic times forced the liquidation of large positions in fixed income and currency markets. Currencies suffered the largest sector loss in June, due to the late month strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Stock indices were the only sector to register positive returns for the month of June. Fixed income investments incurred the second largest sector loss for June. The largest losses were registered in the Japanese 10-year Government Bonds, Euro Bunds and the U.S. 30-year bonds. Crude oil was up for the month despite volatile trading. Prices were buoyed by a downshift in OPEC output and the concerns over Tropical Storm Bill hitting the Gulf coast. Overall, however, the energy sector was down for June. The metals sector was down in June, primarily due to the poor performance of gold. Agricultural products were down for the month. All of the other parts of this group had negligible results. The Partnership recorded a loss of $1,541,844 or $20.07 per unit in June.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 3,822.42 units. At the end of the quarter there were 75,626.82 units outstanding (including 1,829.41 units owned by the General Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2003, the Partnership had no material credit exposure to a counterparty, which is a foreign commodity exchange, or to any counterparties dealing in over the counter contracts.

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2004

The Partnership recorded a profit of $1,287,982 or $18.40 per unit for the first quarter of 2004. Performance throughout the quarter was strong. On March 31, 2004, JWH was managing 72% of the Partnership’s assets while Sunrise was managing 28% of the Partnership’s assets.

Although the markets were volatile, the Partnership was positive in January with many of the long-term trends remaining intact during the month. The declining U.S. dollar continued against most major currencies during the first half of the month. Following comments made both by the Federal Reserve Board regarding possible interest rate increases and the European Central Bank alluding to possible intervention in the currency markets, the U.S. dollar strengthened significantly against most currencies. The long Japanese yen and British pound positions made the greatest contribution to profits. This sector was the best performer during January.

Base metals continued to perform well as prices escalated due to the strong demand from China. Copper, aluminum and silver were profitable.

Because of an unusually high level of weather-related demand, tight U.S. inventories, and OPEC agreeing to cut production, crude oil was one of the most profitable markets in February. The fixed income sector was also a top performer. Interest rates continued to move lower in the U.S., Europe, and Asia as inflation remained low in all three regions. The most profitable positions were Euro bunds, Japanese 10-year bond, and the U.S. 10-year notes and 30-year bonds.

Despite a high level of volatility, the currency sector was also profitable for the month. The U.S. dollar began to make an upside breakout due to speculation that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates if the U.S. economy continued to improve. The best performing positions were: Euro/Pound cross, long positions in British pounds versus Japanese yen, the Euro and the Swiss franc.

The metals sector also contributed to profitability with copper leading the way followed by silver and aluminum. All were driven by strong demand, dollar weakness and declining inventories.

The supply situation was favorable for grains as well with unusually tight inventories sending corn and bean prices to new contract highs.

March was a particularly challenging month. Terrorist activities in Spain and heightened tensions in the Middle East kept those looking for investment opportunities on the sideline. The agricultural sector was the best performer for the month led by grains, whose prices rose based on a surge in export demand, followed by a drop in cotton prices based on USDA reports that sales are slowing.

In precious metals both gold and silver extended their gains as demand continued to rise and despite the U.S. dollar strengthening. Silver was the best performer overall, reaching a 17 year high of $8.30 an ounce. Base metals experienced a period of consolidation and remained within a road and volatile trading range as the market weighed information that China’s appetite may be waning.

Geopolitical risk and OPEC’s production cut helped crude oil and related products retain lofty price levels. Natural gas had the highest gain for the sector followed by crude oil.

The unprofitable currency sector was dominated by the action in the Japanese yen, orchestrated by the Bank of Japan which intervened in the foreign exchange market by buying over $40 billion U.S. dollars/selling Japanese yen. Most other currencies traded in a sideways fashion in varying degrees of volatility.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 2,570.53 units. At the end of the quarter there were 67,290.34 units outstanding (including 1,829.41 units owned by the General Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Partnership had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange.

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 had 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 higher 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.

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 31, 2003, the Partnership had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange.
