1. General
Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized on March 31, 1987 under the partnership laws of the State
of Delaware 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 commenced operations on
July 24, 1987.
Smith Barney Futures Management LLC acts as the general partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. The Partnership's commodity broker is
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). SSB is an affiliate of the General Partner.
The General Partner is wholly owned by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("SSBHI"), which is the sole owner of SSB. SSBHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Citigroup Inc. As of September 30, 2002, all trading decisions are made by John
W. Henry & Company, Inc. and TrendLogic Associates, Inc. (each, an "Advisor",
collectively, the "Advisors").
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial
condition at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the results of its
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not
include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. You
should read these financial statements together with the financial statements
and notes included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the
interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

3. Trading Activities:
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a
variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Partnership's trading
activity are shown in the statement of income and expenses and partners'
capital.
The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SSB gives the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for
trading purposes. The average fair values during the nine and twelve months
ended September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, based on a monthly calculation,
were $2,201,581 and $960,433, respectively. The fair value of these commodity
interests, including options thereon, if applicable, at September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, was $1,962,273 and $658,139, respectively. Fair values for
exchange traded commodity futures and options are based on quoted market prices
for those futures and options. Fair values for all other financial instruments
for which market quotations are not readily available are based on calculations
approved by the General Partner.
4. Financial Instrument Risk:
The Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity
instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments
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
10
HUTTON INVESTORS FUTURES FUND L.P. II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
(Continued)
contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments
because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest
and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security
prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with
respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange
or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The
Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically
limited to the amounts recognized as unrealized appreciation in the statement of
financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of
the instruments. The Partnership has concentration risk because the sole
counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership's assets is SSB.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk exposure
on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring
systems and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating
and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership is subject.
These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze
actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation
statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of
futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and
loss transactions and collateral positions.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments, while not
recorded in the financial statements, reflect the extent of the Partnership's
involvement in these instruments. The majority of these instruments mature
within one year of September 30, 2002. However, due to the nature of the
Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Its only
assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting of
cash, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures and forward
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. While substantial losses could
lead to a substantial decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred in the
Partnership's third quarter of 2002.
The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions of the
partners as increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses
on commodity futures trading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units
and distributions of profits, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Partnership capital increased
38.1% from $15,588,481 to $21,533,987. This increase was attributable to net
income from operations of $6,820,156, which was partially offset by the
redemption of 117 Units resulting in an outflow of $874,650. Future redemptions
can impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contract
positions in subsequent months.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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
statement 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. 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
12
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 date of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the
reporting dates, is included in the statement 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 statement of income and expenses and partners'
capital.
Results of Operations
During the Partnership's third quarter of 2002 the net asset value per Unit
increased 21.7% from $7,307.28 to $8,894.32 as compared to an increase of 8.4%
in the third quarter of 2001. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain
before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2002 of
$5,001,379. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity
futures in energy, grains, livestock, U.S and non-U.S. interest rates and
indices and were partially offset by losses in currencies, softs and metals. The
Partnership experienced a net trading gain before commissions and related fees
in the third quarter of 2001 of $1,402,490. Gains were primarily attributable to
the trading of commodity futures in U.S interest rates, livestock, metals and
indices and were partially offset by losses in currencies, energy, grains, non -
U.S. interest rates and softs.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. The Potential for broad and
rapid price fluctuations increases the risks involved in commodity trading but
also increases the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership
depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors
to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among
other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental,
agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and
international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To
the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them,
the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
13
Interest income on 80% of the Partnership's daily equity maintained in cash
was earned at the monthly average 13-week U.S. Treasury Bill yield. SSB may
continue to maintain the Partnership assets in cash and/or place all of the
Partnership assets in 90-day Treasury bills and pay the Partnership 80% of the
interest earned on the Treasury bills purchased. SSB will retain 20% of any
interest earned on Treasury bills. Interest income for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $40,940 and $216,087 respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2001. The decrease in interest income
is primarily due to a decrease in interest rates during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 2001.
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the
Advisors. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 decreased by $26,620 and $1,673 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 2001. The decrease in commissions and fees is primarily
due to a decrease in the number of trades executed by the Advisors during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by each
Advisor as defined in the advisory agreements between the Partnership, the
General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 resulted in incentive fees of $955,382 and
$1,083,961, respectively. Trading performance for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001 resulted in incentive fees of $0 and $72,636,
respectively.

The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive
instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of trading
loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is
integral, not incidental, to the Partnership's main line of business.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair 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 value of financial instruments and contracts, the
diversification effects among the Partnership's open positions and the liquidity
of the markets in which it trades.
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.
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. 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.

The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the
Partnership's open positions by market category as of September 30, 2002. All
open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in
calculating the figures set forth below. As of September 30, 2002, the
Partnership's total capitalization was $21,533,987. There has been no material
change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings -
Enron Corp.
In April 2002, Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") and, in one case, SSB,
were named as defendants along with, among others, commercial and/or
investment banks, certain current and former Enron officers and directors,
lawyers and accountants in two putative consolidated class action
complaints that were filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas seeking unspecified damages. One action, brought
on behalf of individuals who purchased Enron securities (Newby, et al. v.
Enron Corp., et al.), alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the other action, brought
on behalf of current and former Enron employees (Tittle, et al. v. Enron
Corp., et al.), alleges violations of the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), as well as claims for negligence
and civil conspiracy. On May 8, 2002, Citigroup and SSB filed motions to
dismiss the complaints, which are pending.
In July 2002, Citigroup, SSB, a number of their affiliates and certain
of their officers and other employees were named as defendants, along with,
among others, commercial and/or investment banks, certain current and
former Enron officers and directors, lawyers and accountants in a putative
class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the Yosemite Notes and
Enron Credit-Linked Notes, among other securities (Hudson Soft Co., Ltd. v.
Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, et al.). The amended complaint
alleges violations of RICO and of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and seeks unspecified damages.
Additional actions have been filed against Citigroup and certain of
its affiliates, along with other parties, including (i) two actions brought
in different state courts by state pension plans alleging violations of
state securities law and claims for common law fraud and unjust enrichment;
(ii) an action by banks that participated in two Enron revolving credit
facilities, alleging fraud, gross negligence, and breach of implied duties
in connection with defendants' administration of a credit facility with
Enron; (iii) an action brought by several funds in connection with
secondary market purchases of Enron Corp. debt securities alleging
violations of federal securities laws, including Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and claims for fraud and
misrepresentation; (iv) a series of putative class actions by purchasers of
NewPower Holdings common stock alleging violations of the federal
securities law, including Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended; (v) an action brought by two investment funds in connection with
purchases of Enron-related securities for alleged violations of state
securities and unfair competition statutes; (vi) an action brought by
18
several investment funds and fund owners in connection with purchases of
notes of the Osprey I and Osprey II Trusts for alleged violation of state
and federal securities laws and claims for common law fraud,
misrepresentation and conspiracy; (vii) an action brought by several
investment funds and fund owners in connection with purchases of notes of
the Osprey I and Osprey II Trusts for alleged violation of state and
federal securities laws and state unfair competition laws and claims for
common law fraud and misrepresentation; and (viii) an action brought by the
Attorney General of Connecticut in connection with various commercial and
investment banking services provided to Enron. Several of these cases have
been consolidated with the Newby action and stayed pending the Court's
decision on the pending motions to dismiss Newby.
Additionally, Citigroup and certain of its affiliates have received
inquiries and requests for information from various regulatory and
governmental agencies and Congressional committees, as well as from the
Special Examiner in the Enron bankruptcy, regarding certain transactions
and business relationships with Enron and its affiliates. Citigroup is
cooperating fully with all such requests.
Research
Since May 2002, SSB and Jack Grubman have been named as defendants in
approximately 62 putative class action complaints by purchasers of various
securities alleging they violated federal securities law, including
Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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,
WorldCom, Inc., AT&T, Winstar, Rhythm Net Connections, Level 3
Communications, MetroMedia Fiber Network, XO Communications and Williams
Communications Group Inc. Similar claims with respect to research have also
been included in approximately 100 cases pending against SSB and other
broker dealers in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation and the IPO
Allocation Antitrust Litigation, disclosed below under the caption "Other."
Nearly all of these actions are pending in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York.
Since April 2002, SSB and several other broker dealers have received
subpoenas and/or requests for information from various governmental and
self-regulatory agencies and Congressional committees, including the
National Association of Securities Dealers (the "NASD"), which has raised
issues about SSB's internal e-mail retention practices and research on
Winstar Communications, Inc. With respect to Winstar, SSB and the NASD have
entered into a settlement agreement. SSB agreed to pay a penalty in the
amount of $5 million and did not admit to any wrongdoing. With respect to
other such matters, these agencies have been engaged in discussions with a
number of broker dealers, including SSB, about resolving potential
enforcement proceedings relating to research. SSB is cooperating fully with
all such requests.
19
WorldCom, Inc.
Citigroup and SSB are involved in a number of lawsuits arising out of
the underwriting of debt securities of WorldCom, Inc. These lawsuits
include putative class actions filed in July 2002 by alleged purchasers of
WorldCom debt securities in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (Above Paradise Investments Ltd. v. WorldCom,
Inc., et al.; Municipal Police Employees Retirement System of Louisiana v.
WorldCom, Inc., et al.), and in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Mississippi (Longacre Master Fund v. WorldCom, Inc.,
et al.). These putative class action complaints assert violations of
federal securities law, including Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and seek unspecified damages from the underwriters.
On October 11, 2002, the Above Paradise and Municipal Police Employees
lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York were superseded by the filing of a consolidated
putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (In re WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation).
In the consolidated complaint, in addition to the claims of violations by
the underwriters of federal securities laws, including Sections 11 and 12
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the plaintiffs allege violations
of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by SSB, arising out of alleged conflicts
of interest of SSB and Jack Grubman. The plaintiffs continue to seek
unspecified compensatory damages. In addition to the consolidated class
action complaint, the Southern District of Mississippi class action has
been transferred by the Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation to the
Southern District of New York for centralized pre-trial proceedings with
other WorldCom-related actions.
In addition to the putative class actions that have commenced, certain
individual actions have been filed in various federal and state courts
against Citigroup and SSB, along with other parties, concerning WorldCom
debt securities, including individual state court actions brought by
various pension funds in connection with the underwriting of debt
securities of WorldCom alleging violations of Section 11 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and, in one case, violations of various state
securities laws and common law fraud. Most of these actions have been
removed to federal court and an application has been made to have them
transferred to the Southern District of New York for centralized pre-trial
proceedings with other WorldCom-related actions.
A putative class action on behalf of participants in WorldCom's 401(k)
salary savings plan and those WorldCom benefit plans covered by ERISA
alleging violations of ERISA and common law fraud (Emanuele v. WorldCom,
Inc., et al.), which was commenced in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia, also has been transferred by the Judicial Panel
on MultiDistrict Litigation to the Southern District of New York for
centralized pre-trial proceedings with other WorldCom-related actions.
Additional lawsuits containing similar claims to those described above
may be filed in the future.
20
Other
In April 2002, consolidated amended complaints were filed against
Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. and other investment banks named in
numerous putative 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. The defendants in these actions have
moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaints but the Court has
not yet rendered a decision on those motions. Also pending in the
Southern District of New York against Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. and other investment banks are several putative class actions
which have been 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. The defendants in this action have moved to dismiss
the consolidated amended complaint but the Court has not yet rendered
a decision on those motions.
For information concerning a suit filed by a hedge fund and its
investment advisor against SSB, see the description that appears in
the eleventh paragraph under the caption "Legal Proceedings" of the
Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Partnership for the year ended
December 31, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein. In
August 2002, SSB filed a motion for summary judgment.
