MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2002

(Unaudited)


The unaudited financial statements contained herein include, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations and financial condition
of Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. (the "Partnership"). The
financial statements and condensed notes herein should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's December 31, 2001 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

1. Organization
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P. is a Delaware limited
partnership organized to engage primarily in the speculative
trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and
forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity
interests, including, but not limited to foreign currencies,
financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products.
The Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Spectrum Series of
funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Commodity L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan
Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.



MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


The Partnership's general partner is Demeter Management
Corporation ("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is
Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan Stanley DW"). The clearing
commodity brokers are Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. ("MS & Co.") and
Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited ("MSIL"). Demeter,
Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co., and MSIL are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. The trading advisors to the
Partnership are EMC Capital Management, Inc., Rabar Market
Research, Inc., Sunrise Capital Management, Inc., and Northfield
Trading L.P. (collectively, the "Trading Advisors").

On February 27, 2002, the Partnership received notification of a
preliminary entitlement to payment from the Sumitomo Copper
Litigation Settlement Administrator. The Partnership received
payment of this settlement award in the amount of $4,636,156 as
of August 31, 2002.

2. Related Party Transactions
The Partnership's cash is on deposit with Morgan Stanley DW, MS &
Co., and MSIL in futures, forwards, and options trading accounts
to meet margin requirements as needed. Morgan Stanley DW pays
interest on these funds based on a prevailing rate on U.S.
Treasury bills. The Partnership pays brokerage fees to Morgan
Stanley DW.

MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


3. Financial Instruments
The Partnership trades futures contracts, options on futures
contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other
commodity interests, including, but not limited to foreign
currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural
products. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed
delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk
arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the
potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms
of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may
significantly influence the market value of these contracts,
including interest rate volatility.

The market value of contracts is based on closing prices quoted
by the exchange, bank or clearing firm through which the
contracts are traded.

The Partnership's contracts are accounted for on a trade-date
basis and marked to market on a daily basis. The Partnership
accounts for its derivative investments in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"



MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 defines a derivative as a
financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the
following characteristics:

1) One or more underlying notional amounts or payment
provisions;
2) Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net
investment than would be required relative to changes in
market factors;
3) Terms require or permit net settlement.

Generally derivatives include futures, forward, swaps or options
contracts, and other financial instruments with similar
characteristics such as caps, floors and collars.

The net unrealized gains on open contracts, reported as a
component of "Equity in futures interests trading accounts" on the
statements of financial condition, and their longest contract
maturities were as follows:

The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty non-
performance. The credit risk associated with the instruments in
which the Partnership is involved is limited to the amounts
reflected in the Partnership's statements of financial condition.

The Partnership also has credit risk because Morgan Stanley DW, MS
& Co., and MSIL act as the futures commission merchants or the
counterparties, with respect to most of the Partnership's assets.
Exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts are
marked to market on a daily basis, with variations in value
settled on a daily basis. Each of Morgan Stanley DW, MS & Co.,
and MSIL, as a futures commission merchant for the Partnership's
exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts, are
required, pursuant to regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC"), to segregate from their own assets, and for
the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds held by



MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)


them with respect to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled
options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized
gains on all open futures and futures-styled options contracts,
which funds, in the aggregate, totaled $315,926,260 and
$236,193,605 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively. With respect to the Partnership's off-exchange-
traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements
of variations in value nor is there any requirement that an amount
equal to the net unrealized gains on open forward contracts be
segregated. With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward
currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of
MS & Co., the sole counterparty on all of such contracts, to
perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with MS & Co.
This agreement, which seeks to reduce both the Partnership's and
MS & Co.'s exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency
contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership's credit
risk in the event of MS & Co.'s bankruptcy or insolvency.













Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity. The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan
Stanley DW as non-clearing broker, and MS & Co. and MSIL as
clearing brokers in separate futures, forwards, and options
trading accounts established for each Trading Advisor, which
assets are used as margin to engage in trading. The assets are
held in either non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities
and instruments permitted by the CFTC for investment of customer
segregated or secured funds. The Partnership's assets held by the
commodity brokers may be used as margin solely for the
Partnership's trading. Since the Partnership's sole purpose is to
trade in futures, forwards, and options, it is expected that the
Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for margin
purposes.

The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards, and options
may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges
limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations
referred to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily
limits". Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily
limit. If the price for a particular futures or options contract
has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit,
positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken
nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or



within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the
daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no
trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and
result in restrictions on redemptions.

There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward
contracts on foreign currency. The markets for some world
currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may
prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable
markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to
substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could
result in restrictions on redemptions.

There are no material trends, demands, commitments, events, or
uncertainties known at the present time that will result in or
that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership's
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets.






Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expect to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges, and sales of
additional units of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") in
the future will affect the amount of funds available for
investment in futures, forwards, and options in subsequent
periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount and therefore,
the impact of future redemptions of Units.

There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, nor
any expected material changes to the Partnership's capital
resource arrangements at the present time.

The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements, nor
contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future
payments that would affect the Partnership's liquidity or capital
resources. The contracts traded by the Partnership are accounted
for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis.
The value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on the
spot rate as of the close of business, New York City time, on a
given day.

Results of Operations
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading
Advisors and the ability of the Trading Advisors' trading
programs to take advantage of price movements or other profit


opportunities in the futures, forwards, and options markets. The
following presents a summary of the Partnership's operations for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001, and a general discussion of its trading activities during
each period. It is important to note, however, that the Trading
Advisors trade in various markets at different times and that
prior activity in a particular market does not mean that such
market will be actively traded by the Trading Advisors or will be
profitable in the future. Consequently, the results of operations
of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than in the
context of the Trading Advisors' trading activities on behalf of
the Partnership and how the Partnership has performed in the past.

The Partnership's results of operations are set forth in financial
statements prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles, which require the use of certain
accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements, including the following: The contracts the
Partnership trades are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. The difference between their
cost and market value is recorded on the Statements of Operations
as "Net change in unrealized profit/loss" for open (unrealized)
contracts, and recorded as "Realized profit/loss" when open
positions are closed out, and the sum of these amounts constitutes
the Partnership's trading revenues. Earned interest income




revenue, as well as management fees, incentive fees and brokerage
fees expenses of the Partnership are recorded on an accrual basis.

Demeter believes that, based on the nature of the operations of
the Partnership, no assumptions other than those presently used
relating to the application of critical accounting policies are
reasonably plausible that could affect reported amounts.

For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002
For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership
recorded total trading revenues, including interest income, of
$45,366,560 and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit.
The most significant gains of approximately 11.9% were recorded in
the interest rate futures markets from long positions in European
and U.S. interest rates, which drew support from falling equity
prices and further global economic uncertainty. Additional gains
of approximately 1.7% were recorded in the agricultural markets
from long positions in grain futures, primarily during July, as
grain prices advanced higher due to weather related concerns.
Short positions in European and U.S. stock index futures provided
gains of approximately 1.6%, primarily in July and September, as
stock prices trended lower on suspicions regarding corporate
accounting practices and further skepticism surrounding the global
economic recovery. In the energy futures markets, gains of
approximately 1.6% were recorded from long positions in crude oil
futures and its related products, primarily during August and


September, as prices moved higher amid the possibility of military
action against Iraq. A portion of the Partnership's overall gains
was offset by losses of approximately 2.5% in the currency markets
primarily during July and August from long positions in most major
currencies, specifically the British pound, euro, and Swiss franc,
as the values of these currencies reversed lower relative to the
U.S. dollar in response to the Bush Administration's "strong-
dollar" policy. On February 27, 2002, the Partnership received
notification of a preliminary entitlement to payment from the
Sumitomo Copper Litigation Settlement Administrator. The
Partnership received payment of this settlement award in the
amount of $4,636,156 as of August 31, 2002. Total expenses for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $7,291,614,
resulting in net income of $38,074,946. The net asset value of a
Unit increased from $25.67 at June 30, 2002 to $29.23 at
September 30, 2002.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership
recorded total trading revenues, including interest income, of
$76,176,301 and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit.
The most significant gains of approximately 11.0% were recorded in
the interest rate futures markets, primarily during June, July,
and August, as long positions in European and U.S. interest rate
futures increased in value, spurred by declining equity values,
additional concerns regarding corporate accounting integrity, and


weak economic data. Additional gains of approximately 8.6% were
recorded primarily during May and June in the currency markets
from previously established long positions in the euro and Swiss
franc as their values rallied relative to the U.S. dollar, which
fell due to falling equity prices, weak economic data, and
mounting concerns of further terrorist attacks. In the energy
futures markets, gains of approximately 2.4% were recorded
primarily during March from previously established long positions
in natural gas futures as prices climbed higher amid a decline in
supplies and severe weather in the northeast U.S. Short stock
index futures provided additional gains of approximately 2.1%,
primarily during June, as equity prices retreated on weak global
economic data. The agricultural markets provided gains of
approximately 2.0%, primarily during June, from long positions in
soybean futures and its related products, and during July, from
long positions in wheat, soybean and corn futures, as supply and
demand concerns caused prices to increase. A portion of the
Partnership's overall gains was offset by losses of approximately
0.4% in the metals markets during June from long positions in gold
futures as prices reversed lower in the midst of easing tensions
between India and Pakistan. Total expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 were $19,447,866, resulting in net income
of $56,728,435. The net asset value of a Unit increased from
$23.96 at December 31, 2001 to $29.23 at September 30, 2002.




For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $28,022,232
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 6.5% were recorded throughout
the majority of the quarter in the global stock index futures
markets from short positions in DAX, Hang Seng, Nikkei and S&P 500
Index futures as the trend in equity prices continued sharply
lower amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty. In the
global interest rate futures markets, profits of approximately
6.2% were recorded throughout the majority of the quarter from
long positions in U.S. and European interest rate futures as
prices continued trending higher amid continued concerns for the
sluggish global economy, interest rate cuts by the U.S. and
European central banks and as investors sought a safe haven from
declining stock prices. In the metals markets, gains of
approximately 2.8% were recorded primarily during July and
September from short positions in copper and aluminum futures as
prices declined due to higher inventories and weak demand. These
gains were partially offset by losses of approximately 2.9%
recorded primarily during August in the currency markets from
short positions in the Japanese yen as the value of the yen
strengthened versus the U.S. dollar due to U.S. economic weakness.
During late September, losses were recorded from long positions in
the Japanese yen as its value weakened and the U.S. dollar
strengthened amid newly released optimistic economic data and the


Bank of Japan's surprise interventions. In the energy markets,
losses of approximately 1.2% were experienced primarily during
August from short positions in crude oil futures as prices rose
amid declining inventories and growing tensions in the Middle
East. During September, losses were recorded from long futures
positions in crude oil and its refined products as the previous
upward trend in oil prices reversed lower due to near-term
concerns over the effects of a global economic slowdown on oil
demand. Total expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2001 were $6,667,844, resulting in net income of $21,354,388. The
net asset value of a Unit increased from $23.75 at June 30, 2001
to $25.95 at September 30, 2001.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Partnership
recorded total trading revenues, including interest income, of
$42,010,426 and posted an increase in net asset value per
Unit. The most significant gains of approximately 10.1% were
recorded in the global interest rate futures markets primarily
during August and September from long positions in short and
intermediate-term U.S. interest rate futures as prices continued
trending higher following interest rate cuts by the U.S. and
European central banks and as investors sought a safe haven from
the decline in stock prices. Additional gains were recorded
throughout the majority of the first quarter from long positions
in Japanese government bond futures as prices moved higher on
concerns regarding that country's economy. In the global stock


index futures markets, profits of approximately 6.2% were recorded
throughout a majority of the third quarter from short positions in
DAX, Hang Seng, Nikkei and S&P 500 Index futures as the trend in
equity prices continued sharply lower amid worries regarding
global economic uncertainty. In the metals markets, gains of
approximately 3.5% were recorded primarily during July and
September from short positions in copper and aluminum futures as
prices declined due to higher inventories and weak demand. These
gains were partially offset by losses of approximately 2.3%
recorded throughout the first nine months of the year from
volatile price movements in crude oil futures and its related
products as a result of a continually changing outlook for supply,
production and demand. In the currency markets, losses of
approximately 1.0% were recorded throughout the first nine months
of the year from transactions involving the British pound, New
Zealand and Australian dollar. Total expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 were $19,221,146, resulting in net income
of $22,789,280. The net asset value of a Unit increased from
$23.57 at December 31, 2000 to $25.95 at September 30, 2001.









Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK

Introduction
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures, forwards, and options. The
market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired
for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are at risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments is central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.

The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership
involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is
often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of
interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial
instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in market risk based
upon these factors 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 total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,


each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.

The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the
Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its
speculative trading. The Partnership's speculative trading may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e., "risk of ruin") that
far exceed the Partnership's experience to date or any reasonable
expectations based upon historical changes in market value.

Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for
such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All
quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-
looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for
statements of historical fact.

The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark-
to-market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of
the Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the


Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through
variation margin.

The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk
("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many
variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's
trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model
based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.
Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of
hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading
portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to
price and interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated
in the VaR model include equity and commodity prices, interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these
variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based
on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or
other market factors ("market risk factors") to which the
portfolio is sensitive. The historical observation period of the
Partnership's VaR is approximately four years. The one-day 99%
confidence level of the Partnership's VaR corresponds to the
negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market
risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days.


In other words, one-day VaR for a portfolio is a number such that
losses in this portfolio are estimated to exceed the VaR only one
day in 100.

VaR is calculated using historical simulation. Demeter uses
approximately four years of daily market data (1,000
observations) and revalues its portfolio (using delta-gamma
approximations) for each of the historical market moves that
occurred over the time period. This generates a probability
distribution of daily 'simulated profit and loss' outcomes. The
VaR is the appropriate percentile of this distribution. For
example, the 99% one-day VaR would represent the 10th worst
outcome from Demeter's simulated profit and loss series.

VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously
evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling
techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that
the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for
historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either
Demeter or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management
activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
entities.




The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following table indicates the VaR associated with the
Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets
by primary market risk category at September 30, 2002 and 2001.
At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $298 million and $253 million,
respectively.
Primary Market September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk

Currency (2.05)% (0.46)%
Interest Rate (1.03) (1.46)
Equity (0.38) (0.31)
Commodity (1.31) (0.67)
Aggregate Value at Risk (2.85)% (1.69)%

The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk
for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category.
The aggregate VaR, listed above for the Partnership, represents
the aggregate VaR of the Partnership's open positions across all
the market categories, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for
all such market categories due to the diversification benefit
across asset classes.

The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open
positions at September 30, 2002 and 2001 only and is not
necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk


of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's
only business is the speculative trading of futures, forwards,
and options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change
significantly over any given time period, or even within a single
trading day. Any changes in open positions could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

The table below supplements the quarter-end VaR by presenting the
Partnership's high, low, and average VaR, as a percentage of
total net assets for the four quarterly reporting periods from
October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002.

Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Currency (2.05)% (0.58)% (1.57)%
Interest Rate (1.41) (0.49) (1.07)
Equity (0.71) (0.30) (0.48)
Commodity (1.62) (0.40) (1.03)
Aggregate Value at Risk (2.85)% (2.30)% (2.53)%


Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin
requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and
15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage
causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the


Partnership to typically be many times the total capitalization of
the Partnership. The value of the Partnership's open positions
thus creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in other
investments. The relative size of the positions held may cause
the Partnership to incur losses greatly in excess of VaR within a
short period of time, given the effects of the leverage employed
and market volatility. The VaR tables above, as well as the past
performance of the Partnership, give no indication of such "risk
of ruin". In addition, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light
of the methodology's limitations, which include the following:
? past changes in market risk factors will not always result in
accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of
future market movements;
? changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may
differ from those of the VaR model;
? VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk
depends on future positions;
? VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the
market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged
within one day; and
? the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation
may provide only limited insight into losses that could be
incurred under certain unusual market movements.




The VaR tables above present the results of the Partnership's VaR
for each of the Partnership's market risk exposures and on an
aggregate basis at September 30, 2002, and 2001, and for the end
of the four quarterly reporting periods from October 1, 2001
through September 30, 2002. Since VaR is based on historical
data, VaR should not be viewed as predictive of the Partnership's
future financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor
risk. There can be no assurance that the Partnership's actual
losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts
indicated above or that such losses will not occur more than once
in 100 trading days.

Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial.

At September 30, 2002, the Partnership's cash balance at Morgan
Stanley DW was approximately 91% of its total net asset value. A
decline in short-term interest rates will result in a decline in
the Partnership's cash management income. This cash flow risk is
not considered to be material.

Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any


associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,
optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership's net assets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are
statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the
Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures - constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act.
The Partnership's primary market risk exposures as well as the
strategies used and to be used by Demeter and the Trading Advisors
for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties,
contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual
results of the Partnership's risk controls to differ materially
from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions,
defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of
dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in
historical price relationships, an influx of new market
participants, increased regulation and many other factors could
result in material losses as well as in material changes to the
risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the
Partnership. Investors must be prepared to lose all or
substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.



The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at September 30, 2002, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.

Currency. The primary market exposure of the Partnership at
September 30, 2002 was to the currency complex. The
Partnership's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations,
primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing
relationships between different currencies and currency
pairs. Interest rate changes as well as political and general
economic conditions influence these fluctuations. The
Partnership trades a large number of currencies, including cross-
rates - i.e., positions between two currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. At September 30, 2002, the Partnership's major
exposures were to euro currency crosses and outright U.S. dollar
positions. Outright positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs.
other currencies. These other currencies include major and minor
currencies. Demeter does not anticipate that the risk profile of
the Partnership's currency sector will change significantly in
the future. The currency trading VaR figure includes foreign
margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental
adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the
U.S.-based Partnership in expressing VaR in a functional currency
other than U.S. dollars.




Interest Rate. The second largest market exposure of the
Partnership at September 30, 2002 was to the global interest rate
sector. The Partnership's exposure in the interest rate market
complex was primarily spread across the U.S., European and
Japanese interest rate sectors. Interest rate movements directly
affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by
the Partnership and indirectly affect the value of its stock
index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one
country as well as relative interest rate movements between
countries materially impact the Partnership's profitability. The
Partnership's primary interest rate exposure is generally to
interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7
countries. The G-7 countries consist of France, the U.S.,
Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada. However, the
Partnership also takes futures positions in the government debt
of smaller nations - e.g., Australia. Demeter anticipates that
the G-7 countries' and Australian interest rates will remain the
primary interest rate exposure of the Partnership for the
foreseeable future. The speculative futures positions held by
the Partnership may range from short to long-term instruments.
Consequently, changes in short, medium or long-term interest
rates may have an effect on the Partnership.

Equity. The third largest exposure at September 30, 2002 was to
equity price risk in the G-7 countries. The stock index futures




traded by the Partnership are by law limited to futures on
broadly-based indices. At September 30, 2002, the Partnership's
primary exposures were to the NASDAQ (U.S.), Hang Seng (Hong
Kong), DAX (Germany) and S&P 500 (U.S.) stock indices. The
Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price
trends or static markets in the U.S., European and Hong Kong
indices. Static markets would not cause major market changes but
would make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid being
"whipsawed" into numerous small losses.

Commodity.
Energy. At September 30, 2002, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in crude
oil and its related products, and natural gas. Price
movements in the energy markets result from political
developments in the Middle East, weather patterns and other
economic fundamentals. Significant profits and losses,
which have been experienced in the past, are expected to
continue to be experienced in these markets. Natural gas
has exhibited volatility in prices resulting from weather
patterns and supply and demand factors and may continue in
this choppy pattern.

Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at September 30,
2002 was to fluctuations in the price of precious metals,



such as gold and silver, and base metals, such as copper,
aluminum, nickel, lead and zinc. Economic forces, supply
and demand inequalities, geopolitical factors and market
expectations influence price movement in these markets. The
Trading Advisors, from time to time, take positions when
market opportunities develop. Demeter anticipates that the
Partnership will continue to be exposed to the precious and
base metals markets.

Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At September 30, 2002,
the Partnership had exposure to the markets that comprise
these sectors. Most of the exposure was to sugar, soybeans,
and related products, and to coffee. Supply and demand
inequalities, severe weather disruption and market
expectations affect price movements in these markets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following was the only non-trading risk exposure of the
Partnership at September 30, 2002:

Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's primary foreign
currency balances at September 30, 2002 were in euros, Hong
Kong dollars, Swiss francs and British pounds. The
Partnership controls the non-trading risk of these balances
by regularly converting them back into U.S. dollars upon
liquidation of their respective positions.


Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisors, separately, attempt to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in essentially
the same manner in all market categories traded. Demeter attempts
to manage market exposure by diversifying the Partnership's assets
among different Trading Advisors, each of whose strategies focus
on different market sectors and trading approaches, and monitoring
the performance of the Trading Advisors daily. In addition, the
Trading Advisors establish diversification guidelines, often set
in terms of the maximum margin to be committed to positions in any
one market sector or market-sensitive instrument.

Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-
trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership investment
directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Advisors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) As of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this
quarterly report, the President and Chief Financial
Officer of the general partner, Demeter, have evaluated
the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures, and
have judged such controls and procedures to be effective.





(b) There have been no significant changes in the
Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation.
