1. General:
Shearson Mid-West Futures Fund (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
which was organized on August 21, 1991 under the partnership laws of the State
of New York to engage directly or indirectly in the speculative trading of a
diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts,
options and forward contracts. The Partnership commenced trading on December 2,
1991. From December 2, 1991 to January 25, 2001, the Partnership engaged
directly in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity
interests.
Effective January 26, 2001, the Partnership allocated substantially all of
its capital to the JWH Strategic Allocation Master Fund LLC, a New York Limited
Liability Company (the "Master"). With this cash, the Partnership purchased
31,509.8853 Units of the Master with a fair value of $31,509,885. The Master was
formed in order to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by John
W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("the Advisor") using the Strategic Allocation Program,
JWH's proprietary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle.
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, formerly Smith Barney Futures Management LLC,
acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. The
General Partner is the managing member of the Master. Individual and pooled
accounts currently managed by JWH, including the Partnership (collectively, the
"Feeder Funds"), are permitted to be a non-managing member of the Master. The
General Partner and JWH believe that trading through this master/feeder
structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses
to investors as a result of investment in the Master are approximately the same
and redemption rights are not affected.
As of June 30, 2004, the Partnership owned 13.9% of the Master. It is the
Partnership's intention to continue to invest substantially all of its assets in
the Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the
performance of the Master. The Master's Statements of Financial Condition,
Statements of Income and Expenses and Members' Capital, Statements of Cash Flows
and Condensed Schedules of Investments are included herein.
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 June 30, 2004, all trading decisions for the Partnership are being
made by the Advisor.

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 Partnership invests the majority of its
assets through a "master fund/feeder fund" structure. The results of the
Partnership's investment in the Master 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 respective Customer Agreements between the Partnership and CGM and the
Master and CGM give the Partnership and the Master, respectively, the legal
right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures positions.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading
purposes. The average fair values during the six and twelve months ended June
30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, based on a monthly calculation, were $(330,542)
and $7,057,885, respectively. The fair value of these commodity interests,
including options thereon, if applicable, at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003
were $(12,654,210) and $13,173,520, 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, through the
Partnership's investment in the Master, 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 Master 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.
15

(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
Master'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 Master has credit risk and concentration risk because the
sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master's assets is CGM.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Master'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 Master 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 June 30, 2004.
However, due to the nature of the Master's business, these instruments may not
be held to maturity.
16
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 investment in the Master and cash. The Master does not engage in
the sale of goods or services. Its only assets are its investments in commodity
futures and cash. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in
commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in
substantial losses to the Partnership/Master. While substantial losses could
lead to a decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred in the second quarter
of 2004.
The Partnership's capital consists of the capital contributions of the
partners as increased or decreased by its investment in the Master, expenses,
interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits,
if any.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Partnership capital decreased 24.8%
from $25,688,421 to $19,325,764. This decrease was attributable to net loss from
operations of $5,703,786 coupled with the redemptions of 278.6496 Redeemable
Units of Limited Partnership Interest resulting in an outflow of $658,871.
Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in
the Master in subsequent periods.
The Master's capital consists of the capital contributions of the members
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 six months ended June 30, 2004, the Master's capital decreased 1.9%
from $145,076,617 to $142,332,586. This decrease was attributable to net loss
from operations of $33,124,471, coupled with the redemptions of 3,751.7998
Redeemable Units totaling $6,365,465 and the distribution of interest of
$696,095 paid to the feeders which was partially offset by the additional sales
of 22,136.9745 Redeemable Units resulting in an inflow of $37,442,000. Future
redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investments in
commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
17
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, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
accompanying notes. 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 Master 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
Master'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 statements 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 statements of income and expenses and partners'
capital.
Results of Operations
During the Partnership's second quarter of 2004, the net asset value per
Redeemable unit decreased 26.4% from $2,966.78 to $2,183.83 as compared to a
decrease of 3.5% in the second quarter of 2003. The Partnership experienced a
net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second
quarter of 2004 of $6,617,462. Losses were primarily attributable to the
Master's trading of commodity futures in currencies, non-U.S. interest rates,
metals and indices and were partially offset by gains in energy, grains, U.S.
interest rates, livestock and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading
loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second quarter of 2003
of $341,834. Losses were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of
commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, non-U.S. interest rates,
livestock, metals and softs and were partially offset by gains in U.S. interest
rates and indices.
During the Partnership's six months ended June 30, 2004 the net asset value
per Redeemable unit decreased 22.4% from $2,814.20 to $2,183.83 as compared to
an increase of 11.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Partnership
experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees
during the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $4,621,749. Losses were primarily
attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies non-U.S. interest
rates, metals and indices and were partially offset by gains in energy, grains,
U.S. interest rates, livestock and softs. The Partnership experienced a net
trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 of $4,463,235. Gains were primarily attributable to the
trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest
rates, and indices, and were partially offset by losses in grains, livestock,
metals and softs.
18
The lack of persistent trends resulted in a difficult environment for the
Advisor, which began precisely as the second quarter of 2004 got underway.
Trends in both financial and commodity futures markets had been clear for the
previous three quarters. In the second quarter of 2004, however, substantially
opposing fundamental considerations along with benign short-term volatility
greatly reduced the opportunities for the Advisor resulting in a particularly
difficult trading environment.
The directionless behavior of so many markets can be explained in terms of
a perception that a significant change may be underway in the global economic
cycle. Some of the primary drivers of these conditions have been: softer than
expected U.S. economic data creating confusion with regard to forecasting the
pace of Federal Reserve tightening; U.S. and international bonds, equity and
currency markets coping with indications of rising inflation, but at the same
time, an apparent pause in growth; and a fragile Eurozone recovery keeping
European Central Bank monetary intervention on hold.
Trading in all market sectors was unprofitable for the Partnership except
in the energy sector, the softs and base metals markets. Positions in Japanese
currency and interest rate markets, the Euro and gold were the primary
contributors to the losses while trading in crude oil, cotton and copper
provided some profits for the Partnership.
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
(and Master) 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 (and Master) expect to increase capital through
operations.
Interest income on 80% of the Partnership's average daily equity, allocated
to it by the Master, was earned at the monthly average 13-week U.S. Treasury
Bill rate. CGM may continue to maintain the Master's assets in cash and/or place
all of the Master's 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 and six
months ended June 30, 2004, decreased by $13,508 and $31,069 respectively as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2003. This decrease is primarily the
result of a decrease in interest rates during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003.
Brokerage commissions are calculated on the Partnership's adjusted net
asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading
performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be analyzed in relation to
the fluctuations in monthly net asset values. Commissions and fees for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $140,243 and $210,075,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003. The decrease in
brokerage commissions is due to lower average net assets during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's net
asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance
and redemptions. Management fees for the three and six months ended June 30,
2004 decreased by $41,045 and $61,494, respectively, as compared to the
corresponding periods in 2003. The decrease in management fees is due to lower
average net assets during three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared
to the corresponding periods in 2003.
19
Administrative fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the
business and affairs of the Partnership. These fees are calculated as a
percentage of the Partnership's net asset value as of the end of each month and
are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Administrative fees for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $20,522 and $30,745,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease in
administrative fees is due to lower net assets during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by the
Advisor as defined in the advisory agreement between the Partnership, the
General Partner and the Advisor. Trading performance for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003, resulted in incentive fees of $0 and $77,162,
respectively. There were no incentive fees earned for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2004.
20
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
All of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of trading loss
through its investment in the Master. The Master 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 Master'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 Master's main
line of business.
The risk to the limited partners that have purchased Interests in the
Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the
Partnership and other share of the Partnership's assets and undistributed
profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the
Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the
Master's open positions and, consequently, its earnings and cash flow. The
Master'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 of the
Master's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Master 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
Master's past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Master could
reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent
uncertainty of the Master's speculative trading and the recurrence in the
markets traded by the Master of market movements far exceeding expectations
could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated
Value at Risk or the Master'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
Master's losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the
Master's attempts to manage its market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Master 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.
21
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the
Master's open positions by market category as of June 30, 2004 and the highest,
lowest and average value at any point during the three months ended June 30,
2004. All open position trading risk exposures of the Master have been included
in calculating the figures set forth below. As of June 30, 2004, the Master's
total capitalization was $142,332,586. There have been no material changes in
the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership's
Annual Report on 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 June 30, 2004 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures are effective.
During the Partnership's last fiscal quarter, no changes occurred in the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's
internal control over financial reporting.
