1. General:
Smith Barney Mid-West Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized on June 3, 1994 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 operations on September 1, 1994. From September 1, 1994 through 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 42,510.5077 Redeemable Units of the Master with a fair value of $42,510,508. 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 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 the investment in the Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
As of September 30, 2004, the Partnership owned 13.2% 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 and 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").
As of September 30, 2004, all trading decisions for the Partnership are being made by 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 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.

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 Members' 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 nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, based on a monthly calculation, were $270,013 and $7,057,885, respectively. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options thereon, if applicable, at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, were $20,738,318 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 Risks:
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.
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 as unrealized appreciation in the statements of financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amount of the instruments. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master, has concentration risk because the sole 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 effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Master are 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.

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 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, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, Partnership capital decreased 20.3% from $25,854,335 to $20,597,913. This decrease was attributable to a net loss from operations of $4,400,847, coupled with the redemption of 491.1347 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest resulting in an outflow of $855,575. 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 its 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 nine months ended September 30, 2004 the Master's capital increased 8.5% from $145,076,617 to $157,467,719. This increase was attributable to additional sales of 25,934.5226 Units resulting in an inflow of $42,524,000 which was partially offset by a net loss from operations of $20,066,930, coupled with redemptions of 5,586.8164 Units totaling $8,832,043 and the distribution of interest totaling $1,233,925 paid to the feeder funds. 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, 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 of the Master (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 statement of financial condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in the statements of income and expenses and partners' capital.

Results of Operations
During the Partnership's third quarter of 2004, the net asset value per Reedeemable unit increased 6.4% from $1,431.89 to $1,524.17 as compared to a decrease of 8.1% 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 $1,654,103. Gains were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in energy, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses in currencies, metals, indices, livestock and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2003 of $1,669,916. Losses were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and softs and were partially offset by gains in grains, livestock, metals and indices.
During the Partnership's nine months ended September 30, 2004 the net asset value per Redeemable unit decreased 17.4% from $1,846.04 to $1,524.17 as compared to an increase of 1.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $2,903,947. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in softs, livestock, currencies non-U.S. interest rates, metals and indices and were partially offset by gains energy, grains and U.S. interest rates. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $2,994,738. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, livestock, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, and indices, and were partially offset by losses in metals and softs.
The third quarter of 2004 was characterized by difficult trading conditions for the Partnership's trend-following Advisor for the early part of the quarter and the resurgence of trends across several markets in September. The most significant market for the Partnership's Advisor during the quarter was energy. Trading in crude oil, natural gas and gas oil contributed profits notably in September to bring the Partnership to a profit for the quarter but still down year to date. Energy positions were profitable for all three months as crude oil hit successive highs each month ending September at over $50 per barrel.
The currency sector produced losses as the European and Asian currencies were unable to sustain any solid direction versus a weak U.S. dollar. These choppy market conditions carried over to the U.S. and non-U.S. interest rate markets. Trading nonetheless was profitable in both markets for the quarter. Trading in global stock market indices was unprofitable for the Partnership's Advisor as the lack of direction caused trends to be initiated and only to be reversed a short time later. Trading in grains was profitable for the period while trading in metals and softs was negative for the period.
Overall, after a difficult second quarter and beginning of the third quarter, market trends emerged late in the quarter in both commodity and financial markets that were conducive to the Advisor's trend-following approaches. While a decline in the price of energy is possible in the fourth quarter that might lead to a give-back in open profits over the short term, the overall expectation is for continued directionless financial markets and potentially volatile commodity markets until political, financial and economic trends become more evident.
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 30 day 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 its allocated share of 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 September 30, 2004
17
increased by $4,327, as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The increase in interest income is primarily due to an increase in interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $39,647 as compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower net assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding period 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 the monthly net asset values. Commissions and fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $125,570 and $369,067, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003. The decrease in brokerage commissions is due to lower net assets during the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $41,676 and $114,794, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003. The decrease in management fees is due to lower net assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $20,838 and $57,398, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2003. The decrease in administrative fees is due to lower net assets during the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2003 resulted in incentive fees of $0 and $178,139, respectively. There were no incentive fees earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

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 their 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, 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 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.
19
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 values 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 $157,467,719. 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.
