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 intends initially to
trade 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. The Partnership commenced trading on March 16, 1998. From
March 16, 1998 to August 31, 2002, the Partnership engaged directly in the
speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests.
Effective September 1, 2001, the Partnership transferred substantially all
of its assets (including unrealized appreciation of $(7,323,329) in exchange for
128,539.1485 Units and a fair value of $128,539,149 as a tax-free transfer to
the SB AAA Master Fund LLC, a New York limited liability company (the "Master").
The Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed now or in the future
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. In addition, the Advisor is a Special Limited Partner of the
Partnership, an employee of CGM and a related party. 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. The Partnership is a non-managing member of the Master and the Advisor
is a special limited partner. 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, 2003, the Partnership owns approximately 47.6% 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 Statement of Financial
Condition, Statement of Income and Expenses and Members' Capital and Condensed
Schedule of Investments are included herein.

(Continued)
On April 7, 2003, Smith Barney Futures Management LLC changed its name to
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC. The 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 Smith Barney Holdings Inc., which is
the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc
("Citigroup").
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 June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the results of its
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. 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, 2002.
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 Statement 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 Agreement 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 value during the six and twelve months ended June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, based on a monthly calculation, were
$52,914,855 and $13,217,805, respectively. The fair value of these commodity
interests, including options and swaps thereon, if applicable, at June 30, 2003
and December 31, 2002 was $34,452,736 and $14,257,357, 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 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, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at
specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to
15

(Continued)
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 in the statement 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 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 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, 2003.
However, due to the nature of the Partnership's/Master's business, these
instruments may not be held to maturity.
17
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, cash and interest receivable. 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. In the
second quarter of 2003, the Master experienced a cumulative loss of
approximately 22%. This loss was primarily attributable to extraordinary price
activity in U.S. natural gas markets at the end of February which led to losses
in the Master's energy market positions. The Masters' liquidity was not hindered
as a result of these market movements.
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 Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Partnership capital decreased 26.6%
from $181,851,658 to $133,527,866. This decrease was attributable to net loss
from operations of $39,436,212 coupled with redemptions of 4,679.0527 Units
resulting in an outflow of $8,887,580. 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 six months ended June 30, 2003, the Master's capital decreased
19.7% from $350,283,453 to $281,329,159. This decrease was attributable to net
loss from operations of $73,631,905, coupled with redemptions of 28,881.9927
Units totaling $38,872,082 and distribution of interest of $1,629,621 to the
Partnerships, which was partially offset by the additions of 32,329.8028 Units
totaling $45,179,314. 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
18
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 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 statement of income and expenses and partners'
capital.
Results of Operations
During the Partnership's second quarter of 2003, the net asset value per
unit increased 17.6% from $1,732.28 to $2,036.34 as compared to an increase of
9.8% in the second quarter of 2002. The Partnership experienced a net trading
gain in the second quarter of 2003 of $20,845,627. Gains were primarily
attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures in energy swaps, NYMEX
Crude Oil and and NYMEX Natural Gas and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX
IPE Brent Crude Oil, NYMEX Unleaded Gas and NYMEX Heating Oil. The Partnership
19
experienced a net trading gain in the second quarter of 2002 of $19,712,863.
Gains were primarily attributable to the Master's trading of commodity futures
in NYMEX Natural Gas, NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Unleaded and NYMEX Heating Oil and
were partially offset by losses in energy swaps, IPE Brent Crude Oil and IPE Gas
Oil.
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 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
assets in cash and/or place all of the Master 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 received from the Master for the three and six months ended June
30, 2003 decreased by $322,591 and $441,012, respectively, as compared to the
corresponding periods in 2002. The decrease in interest income is primarily due
to a decrease in interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2003 as
compared to 2002.
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,
2003 and 2002 decreased by $238,075 and $263,838, respectively, as compared to
the corresponding periods in 2002. The decrease in management fees is due to a
decrease in assets during the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Special limited partner allocations are based on the new trading profits
generated by the Advisor at the end of the year, as defined in the advisory
agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and the Advisor. There
were no incentive fees earned for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002.
20
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of 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.
21
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the
Master's open positions by market category as of June 30, 2003 and the highest
and lowest value at any point during the three and six months ended June 30,
2003. All open position trading risk exposures of the Master have been included
in calculating the figures set forth below. As of June 30, 2003 , the Master's
total capitalization was $281,329,159. There has been no material change in the
trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2003, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the General Partner have concluded that such controls and procedures
are effective.
There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the
date of their evaluation.

The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth
under Part I, Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" in the Partnership's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and under Part II, Item 1
"Legal Proceedings" in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Enron
On July 28, 2003, Citigroup entered into a final settlement agreement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to resolve the SEC's outstanding
investigations into Citigroup transactions with Enron and Dynegy. Pursuant to
the settlement, Citigroup has, among other terms, (1) consented to the entry of
an administrative cease and desist order, which bars Citigroup from committing
or causing violations of provisions of the federal securities laws, and (2)
agreed to pay $120 million ($101.25 million allocable to Enron and $18.75
million allocable to Dynegy). Citigroup entered into this settlement without
admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability, and the settlement does not
establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. On July
28, 2003, Citibank, N.A. entered into an agreement with the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and Citigroup entered into an agreement with
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FED") to resolve their inquiries into
certain of Citigroup's transactions with Enron. Pursuant to the agreements,
Citibank and Citigroup have agreed to submit plans to the OCC and FED,
respectively, regarding the handling of complex structured finance transactions.
Also on July 28, 2003, Citigroup entered into a settlement agreement with the
Manhattan District Attorney's Office to resolve its investigation into certain
of Citigroup's transactions with Enron; pursuant to the settlement, Citigroup
has agreed to pay $25.5 million and to abide by its agreements with the SEC, OCC
and FED.
Additional Actions Several additional actions, previously identified, have been
consolidated with the Newby action and are stayed, except with respect to
certain discovery, until after the Court's decision on class certification.
Also, in July 2003, an action was brought by purchasers in the secondary market
of Enron bank debt against Citigroup, Citibank, Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
("CGM"), and others, alleging claims for common law fraud, conspiracy, gross
negligence, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.
Research
On June 23, 2003, the West Virginia Attorney General filed an action against CGM
and nine other firms that were parties to the April 28, 2003 settlement with the
SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD"), the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") and the New York Attorney General (the "Research Settlement").
The West Virginia Attorney General alleges that the firms violated the West
Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act in connection with their research
activities and seeks monetary penalties.
24
In May 2003, the SEC, NYSE and NASD issued a subpoena and letters to CGM
requesting documents and information with respect to their continuing
investigation of individuals in connection with the supervision of the research
and investment banking departments of CGM. Other parties to the Research
Settlement have received similar subpoena and letters.
In April 2003, to effectuate the Research Settlement, the SEC filed a Complaint
and Final Judgment in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York. The Final Judgment has not yet been entered by the court, and the
court has asked for certain additional information. Also in April 2003, the NASD
accepted the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent entered into with CGM in
connection with the Research Settlement; and in May 2003, the NYSE advised CGM
that the Hearing Panel's Decision, in which it accepted the Research Settlement,
had become final. CGM is currently in discussion with various of the states with
respect to completion of the state components of the Research Settlement.
Payment will be made in conformance with the payment provisions of the Final
Judgment.
WorldCom, Inc.
On May 19, 2003, a motion to dismiss an amended complaint in the WorldCom, Inc.
Securities Litigation was denied.
Dynegy Inc.
On June 6, 2003, the complaint in a pre-existing putative class action pending
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, brought
by purchasers of publicly traded debt and equity securities of Dynegy Inc., was
amended to add Citigroup, Citibank and CGM, as well as other banks, as
defendants. The plaintiffs allege violations of the federal securities laws
against the Citigroup defendants.
Adelphia Communications Corporation
- -----------------------------------
On July 6, 2003, an adversary proceeding was filed by the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors on behalf of Adelphia against certain lenders and investment
banks, including CGM, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., and Citigroup
Financial Products, Inc. (together, the Citigroup Parties). The Complaint
alleges that the Citigroup Parties and numerous other defendants committed acts
in violation of the Bank Company Holding Act and the common law. The complaint
seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive
damages.
In addition, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. (predecessor of Citigroup Global Markets
Inc.) is among the underwriters named in numerous civil actions brought to date
by investors in Adelphia debt securities in connection with Adelphia securities
offerings between September 1997 and October 2001. Three of the complaints also
assert claims against Citigroup and Citibank, N.A. All of the complaints allege
violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also allege
violations of state securities laws and the common law. The complaints seek
unspecified damages.
