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.
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. ("Citigroup"). As
of March 31, 2004, all trading decisions are made for the Partnership by John W.
Henry & Company, Inc. (the "Advisor").
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 March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the results of its operations
and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. 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, 2003.
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
activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Partners'
Capital and are discussed in Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures
positions.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for
trading purposes. The average fair values of these interests during the three
and twelve months ended March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, based on a monthly
calculation, were $2,349,845 and $1,355,704, respectively. The fair value of
these commodity interests, including options thereon, if applicable, at March
31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, were $(54,257) and $1,650,523, 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:
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 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.
11
Hutton Investors Futures Fund L.P. II
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2004
(Unaudited)
(Continued)
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 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 March 31, 2004.
However, due to the nature of the Partnership's business, these instruments may
not be held to maturity.
12
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 first quarter of 2004.
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
Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, Partnership capital increased
3.4% from $21,140,673 to $21,862,511. This increase was attributable to net
income from operations of $928,358, which was partially offset by the redemption
of 21 Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of $206,520. 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
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
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.
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 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.
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
13
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.
Results of Operations
During the Partnership's first quarter of 2004, the Net Asset Value per
Redeemable Unit increased 4.4% from $9,420.58 to $9,834.27 as compared to an
increase of 14.6% in the first quarter of 2003. The Partnership experienced a
net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the first
quarter of 2004 of $1,310,040. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading
of commodity futures in energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals
and indices and were partially offset by losses in currencies, livestock and
softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage
commissions and related fees in the first quarter of 2003 of $3,250,042. Gains
were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies,
energy, softs, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and indices and were partially
offset by losses in grains, livestock and metals.
The Partnership had a positive first quarter as many of the financial and
commodity trends that had carried performance in 2003 continued into the first
quarter providing profits for the Partnership's Advisor. The major contributors
to performance were rising commodity prices, particularly for grains, energy and
base metals and lower interest rates both in the U.S. and internationally.
Currency trading which had been a strong provider of profits reversed late in
the quarter and offset profits from earlier in the period.
The commodity markets, particularly grains and related contracts, produced
most of the Partnership's profits for the quarter. The demand for foodstocks
from developing countries generated profits for positions in grains,
specifically soybeans, corn and wheat. Increased global demand for the raw
materials of economic development, namely base metals, like copper, nickel and
aluminum, also produced profitable trading. Silver and gold also were profitable
for the quarter. Energy trading was also highly profitable for the quarter as
prices of crude oil moved to the high $30s range and natural gas prices followed
their normal volatile seasonal patterns with mixed trading results for the
advisors.
Additional profits were earned for positions in U.S. and international
interest rate contracts throughout most of the quarter. Lower U.S. interest
rates combined with rising fiscal and trade deficits pushed the U.S. dollar
lower through mid-February producing profits for the Partnership's Advisor
through mid-February. Mid-month, a sharp reversal began in the U.S. dollar that
led to losses in March as the dollar regained nearly 10% against the euro and
other major currencies. Overall for the quarter, currency trading resulted in
losses. Trading in stock market indices was slightly profitable as the U.S. and
global stock markets were mostly directionless for the first quarter.
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 Advisor 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 Advisor is able to identify them,
the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
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. CGM may
14
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. CGM will retain 20% of any
interest earned on Treasury bills. Interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 decreased by $9,423 as compared to the corresponding period in
2003. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to a decrease in interest
rates during the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 2003.
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the
Advisor. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three months ended March 31,
2004 increased by $7,876 as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The
increase in commissions and fees is primarily due to higher net assets, and
therefore higher number of round turns, during the three months ended March 31,
2004 as compared to 2003.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by the
Advisor as defined in the advisory agreements between the Partnership, the
General Partner and the Advisor. Trading performance for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 resulted in incentive fees of $207,609. Trading performance for
the three months ended March 31, 2003, resulted in incentive fees of $247,976.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
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
interval. 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.
16
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the
Partnership's open positions by market category as of March 31, 2004 and the
highest, lowest and average value at any point during the three months ended
March 31, 2004. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have
been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of March 31, 2004,
the Partnership's total capitalization was $21,862,511. 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, 2003.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2004, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures are effective.
There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect such controls during the first
quarter of 2004.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth
under Part I, Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" in the Partnership's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
REGULATORY MATTERS
Both the Department of Labor and the 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.
ENRON CORP
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 the
company'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
transaction Citigroup did with 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. Oral argument before Judge Swain
was held on November 20, 2003.

* Generally, Limited Partners are permitted to redeem their Redeemable Units as
of the end of each month on 10 days' notice to the General Partner. Under
certain circumstances, the General Partner can compel redemption but to date the
General Partner has not exercised this right. Purchases of Redeemable Units by
the Partnership reflected in the chart above were made in the ordinary course of
the Partnership's business in connection with effecting redemptions for Limited
Partners.
** Redemptions of Redeemable Units are effected as of the last day of each month
at the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit as of that day.
