1. General:
Smith Barney AAA Energy Fund L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on January 5, 1998 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 options and commodity futures contracts on United States exchanges and certain foreign exchanges. The Partnership may trade commodity futures and options contracts of any kind, but trades solely energy and energy-related products. In addition, the Partnership may enter into swap contracts on energy-related products. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. During the initial offering period (February 12, 1998 through March 15, 1998), the Partnership sold 49,538 redeemable units ("Redeemable Units"). The Partnership commenced trading on March 16, 1998. From March 16, 1998 to August 31, 2001, the Partnership engaged directly in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests.
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, formerly Smith Barney Futures Management LLC, acts as the General Partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership and the managing member of the Master, as defined below. The Partnership's/Master'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").
Effective September 1, 2001, the Partnership allocated substantially all of its capital to the SB AAA Master Fund LLC, a New York limited liability company (the "Master"). With this cash, the Partnership purchased 128,539.1485 Units of the Master with a fair value of $128,539,149 (including unrealized depreciation of $7,323,329). The Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed by AAA Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") using the Energy with Swaps Program, the Advisor's proprietary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this master/feeder structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in the Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
As of September 30, 2004, the Partnership owned approximately 46.7% 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, Condensed Schedules of Investments and Statements of Cash Flows are included herein.
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, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.
The Master's Statements of Financial Condition and Condensed Schedules of Investments as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and Statements of Income and Expenses and Members' Capital and Statements of Cash Flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are presented below:

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 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.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average fair values of these interests during the nine and twelve months ended September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, based on a monthly calculation, were $25,250,094 and $39,703,607, respectively. The fair values of these commodity interests, including options and swaps thereon, if applicable, at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $69,077,224 and $25,110,518, 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 Risks:
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership, through its 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, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, or 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. The Master's swap contracts are OTC contracts.
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.
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/Master's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master, has concentration risk because a significant counterparty or broker with respect to the Master's assets is CGM.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's/Master's risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has
14

(Continued)
effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/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 September 30, 2004. However, due to the nature of the Partnership's/Master's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
15
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. 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 decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred during the third 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 and redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, Partnership capital increased 25.1% from $119,522,462 to $149,541,152. This increase was attributable to net income from operations of $43,032,304, which was partially offset by the redemptions of 6,231.3074 Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of $13,013,614. 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 Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Master's capital increased 26.6% from $255,057,637 to $322,838,388. This increase was attributable to net income from operations of $96,115,855, coupled with addition of 11,026.3567 Units totaling $15,658,065 which was partially offset by the redemptions of 32,109.8382 Units totaling $42,240,945 and distributions of interest totaling $1,752,224 to the non-managing members of the Master. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
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, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from 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 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 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, including dealer quotes for swaps and certain option contracts. 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 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 dates 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 third quarter of 2004, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 23.8% from $2,140.65 to $2,650.40 as compared to an increase of 1.3% in the third quarter of 2003. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2004 of $31,370,573. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Unleaded Gas, IPE Gas Oil and energy swaps and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX Heating Oil. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2003 of $3,115,548. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Heating Oil and energy swaps and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX Unleaded Gas and IPE Brent Crude Oil.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 38.9% from $1,907.68 to $2,650.40 as compared to a decrease of 20.3% in the same period of 2003. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $48,314,426. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Heating Oil, NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Unleaded Gas, IPE Gas Oil and energy swaps. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $30,827,912. Losses were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Unleaded Gas and NYMEX Heating Oil and were partially offset by gains in NYMEX Crude Oil and IPE Brent Crude Oil.
The third quarter of 2004 was characterized by profitable trading across all sectors of the energy markets. Strong price trends in crude oil, gas oil and natural gas provided the bulk of the Partnership's profits for the quarter. Oil prices were also supported by the impact of Hurricane Ivan on both U.S. crude oil imports and Gulf Coast refinery activity levels. This came against a backdrop of oil markets already made jittery by the instability in Iraq, OPEC's apparent inability to rein in prices, and low commercial inventory cover ahead of the northern hemisphere winter. Bullish technical considerations pushed crude oil to new all time highs above $50.00/barrel.
After grinding lower much of the summer, natural gas futures posted a low of $4.52/MM BTU before exploding on the upside during the second half of September. The nearby futures easily topped $7.00/MM BTU by late September and spent the past last weeks of the quarter between $7.00-$7.50/MM BTU. The Advisor benefited from both long positions and long volatility positions in natural gas. Recent high storage numbers suggest this rally may be on borrowed time once more of the offshore production returns and/or until a pick-up in real seasonal demand becomes more evident.
Market prices for crude and natural gas may not be in place yet although fundamentals are expected to remain very supportive going forward. That said, the month of October has frequently yielded important seasonal highs/turning points in the oil market and even a technical correction/liquidation phase on crude can mean a rapid $4.00-$8.00/barrel drop in prices. As a result, the Advisor has been scaling back positions and looking to potential breaks as more attractive long-term buying opportunities.
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 the Master Fund) depends on the Advisor's ability to forecast price changes in energy and energy-related commodities. Such price changes 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 the Advisor correctly makes such forecasts, the Partnership (and the Master Fund) expects 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 a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days. 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
17
Partnership 80% of the interest earned on the Treasury bills purchased. CGM will retain 20% of any interest earned on Treasury bills purchased. Interest income allocated from the Master for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $127,365, as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The increase in interest income is primarily due to higher average assets during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 2003. Interest income allocated from the Master for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $99,400 as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower average assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 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 months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $36,201 as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The increase in management fees is due to higher average net assets during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 2003. Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $101,969 as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease in management fees is due to lower average net assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 2003.
Special limited partner profit share allocations (incentive fees) are based on the new trading profits generated by the Advisor at the end of the year, as defined in the advisory agreement between the Partnership, the General Partner and the Advisor. The profit share allocation accrued for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $435,109. There was no profit share allocation accrued for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
18
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.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Master's open positions and, consequently, in 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 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.
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Master's open positions by market category as of September 30, 2004 and the highest, lowest and average value during the three months ended September 30, 2004. All open position trading risk exposures of the Master have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of September 30, 2004, the Master's total capitalization was $322,838,388. There has been no material change 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.
