Annual Report to Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter Spectrum Series Limited
Partners for the year ended December 31, 2000 II, III and
IV


























PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter

Spectrum Currency L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited

partnership organized to engage primarily in the speculative

trading of futures options and forward contracts in global

currency markets. The Partnership commenced operations on July

3, 2000. The Partnership is one of the Morgan Stanley Dean

Witter Spectrum Series of funds, comprised of the Partnership,

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Commodity L.P., Morgan

Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley

Dean Witter Spectrum Strategic L.P., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter

Spectrum Select L.P. and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum

Technical L.P. (collectively, the "Spectrum Series").



The general partner is Demeter Management Corporation

("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter

Reynolds, Inc. ("DWR"). The clearing commodity brokers are

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS & Co.") and Morgan Stanley

& Co. International Limited ("MSIL") which provide clearing and

execution services. Demeter, DWR, MS & Co. and MSIL are wholly-

owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. ("MSDW").

The trading advisors







to the Partnership are John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH") and

Sunrise Capital Partners, LLC ("Sunrise") (collectively, the

"Trading Advisors").



The Partnership registered 12,000,000 Units of limited

partnership interest ("Units") pursuant to a Registration

Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File Number 333-90483), which became

effective on March 6, 2000 (the "Registration Statement").



The managing underwriter for the Spectrum Series is DWR.



Units of the Partnership were offered initially at $10 per Unit

from March 6, 2000 through June 30, 2000 for issuance at the

initial closing which was held on June 30, 2000 (the "Initial

Closing").



Units which remain unsold following the Initial Closing are

available for sale at monthly closings held as of the last day of

each month (a "Monthly Closing") during the Partnership's

continuing offering of Units ("Continuing Offering"). Since the

Partnership may register additional Units for sale, there is no

maximum aggregate amount of contributions that may be received by

the Partnership. During the Continuing Offering, Units of the





Partnership are offered for sale at Monthly Closings at a

purchase price equal to 100% of the net asset value per Unit as

of the last day of each month.



The Partnership's net asset value per Unit at December 31, 2000

was $11.17, representing an increase of 11.70 percent from the

net asset value per Unit of $10.00 on July 3, 2000 (commencement

of operations). For a more detailed description of the

Partnership's business see subparagraph (c).



(b) Financial Information about Segments. For financial

information reporting purposes, the Partnership is deemed to

engage in one industry segment, the speculative trading of

futures, forwards, and options. The relevant financial

information is presented in Items 6 and 8.



(c) Narrative Description of Business. The Partnership is in the

business of speculative trading of futures, forwards, and

options, pursuant to trading instructions provided by the Trading

Advisors. For a detailed description of the different facets of

the Partnership's business, see those portions of the

Partnership's prospectus, dated March 6, 2000, (the "Prospectus")

and the Partnership's supplement to the Prospectus dated June 22,

2000 (the "Supplement") incorporated by reference in this Form 10-

K,

(d) Financial Information about Geographic Areas.

The Partnership has not engaged in any operations in foreign

countries; however, the Partnership (through the commodity

brokers) enters into forward contract transactions where foreign

banks are the contracting party and trades in futures, forwards,

and options on foreign exchanges.



Item 2. PROPERTIES

The executive and administrative offices are located within the

offices of DWR. The DWR offices utilized by the Partnership are

located at Two World Trade Center, 62nd Floor, New York, NY

10048.



Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Similar class actions were filed in 1996 in California and New

York State courts. Each of these actions were dismissed in 1999.

However, the New York State class action discussed below is still

pending because plaintiffs appealed the trial court's dismissal

of their case on March 3, 2000.



On September 18 and 20, 1996, purported class actions were filed

in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County,

on behalf of all purchasers of interests in limited partnership

commodity pools sold by DWR. Named defendants include DWR,

Demeter, MSDW, certain limited partnership commodity pools of





which Demeter is the general partner and certain trading advisors

to those pools. A consolidated and amended complaint in the

action pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York was

filed on August 13, 1997, alleging that the defendants committed

fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligent misrepresentation

in the sale and operation of the various limited partnership

commodity pools. The complaints sought unspecified amounts of

compensatory and punitive damages and other relief. The New York

Supreme Court dismissed the New York action in November 1998, but

granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint, which they

did in early December 1998. The defendants filed a motion to

dismiss the amended complaint with prejudice on February 1, 1999.

By decision dated December 21, 1999, the New York Supreme Court

dismissed the case with prejudice. However, on March 3, 2000,

plaintiffs appealed the trial court's dismissal of their case.



Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.













PART II

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
RELATED
SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS


(a) Market Information

There is no established public trading market for Units of the

Partnership.



(b) Holders

The number of holders of Units at December 31, 2000 was

approximately 1,260.



(c) Distributions

No distributions have been made by the Partnership since it

commenced trading operations on July 3, 2000. Demeter has sole

discretion to decide what distributions, if any, shall be made to

investors in the Partnership. Demeter currently does not intend

to make any distribution of Partnership profits.



(d) Use of Proceeds

The Partnership registered 12,000,000 Units pursuant to a

Registration Statement on From S-1 (SEC file Number 333-90483),

which became effective on March 6, 2000. The managing

underwriter for the Partnership is DWR. The offering originally

commenced on March 6, 2000 with 633,154.332 Units sold through

June 30, 2000.



The aggregate price of the offering amount registered was

$6,331,543 (based upon the initial offering price of $10.00 per

Unit) for the Initial Closing on June 30, 2000 (the "Initial

Offering"). After the Initial Offering, Units are sold at

Monthly Closings at a price equal to 100% of the net asset value

per Unit as of the close of business on the last day of each

month.



Through December 31, 2000, 1,460,031.957 Units were sold, leaving

10,539,968.043 Units unsold at December 31, 2000. The aggregate

price of the Units sold through December 31, 2000 was

$15,168,701.



Since no expenses are chargeable against proceeds, 100% of the

proceeds of the offering have been applied to the working capital

of the Partnership for use in accordance with the "Use of

Proceeds" section of the Prospectus and the Supplement.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity - The Partnership deposits its assets with DWR as non-

clearing broker and MS & Co. and MISL as clearing brokers in

separate futures, forwards, and options accounts established for

each Trading Advisor, which assets are used as margin to engage

in trading. The assets are held in either non-interest-bearing

bank accounts or in securities and instruments permitted by the

Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") for investment of

customer segregated or secured funds. The Partnership's assets

held by the commodity brokers may be used as margin solely for

the Partnership's trading. Since the Partnership's sole purpose

is to trade in futures, forwards, and options, it is expected

that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid assets for

margin purposes.



The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards, and options

may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges

limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations

referred to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily

limits". Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily

limit. If the price for a particular futures or options contract

has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit,

positions in that futures or options contract can neither be

taken





nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or

within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the

daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no

trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership

from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and

result in restrictions on redemptions.



There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward

contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world

currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may

prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable

markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating

unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to

substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could

result in restrictions on redemptions.



The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material

portion of its assets.



Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, or expect to

have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges and sales of

additional Units in the future will affect the amount of funds

available for investments in futures, forwards, and options in





subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount

and therefore the impact of future redemptions.



Results of Operations.

General. The Partnership's results depend on its Trading

Advisors and the ability of each Trading Advisors' trading

programs to take advantage of price movements or other profit

opportunities in the futures, forwards, and options markets. The

following presents a summary of the Partnership's operations for

the period ended December 31, 2000 and a general discussion of

its trading activities during that period. It is important to

note, however, that the Trading Advisors trade in various markets

at different times and that prior activity in a particular market

does not mean that such market will be actively traded by the

Trading Advisors or will be profitable in the future.

Consequently, the results of operations of the Partnership are

difficult to discuss other than in the context of its Trading

Advisors' trading activities on behalf of the Partnership as a

whole and how the Partnership has performed in the past.




At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was

$15,707,232, an increase of $9,375,689 from the Partnership's

total capital of $6,331,543 at July 3, 2000 (commencement of

operations). For the period from July 3, 2000 (commencement of



operations) to December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated net

income of $1,308,544, total subscriptions aggregated $16,713,346

and total redemptions aggregated $2,314,658.



For the period from July 3, 2000 (commencement of operations) to

December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded total trading

revenues, including interest income, of $1,918,231 and posted an

increase in net asset value per Unit. The most significant gains

of approximately 7.6% were recorded primarily during August and

October from short positions in the euro and Swiss franc as the

value of these European currencies weakened relative to the U.S.

dollar amid continued skepticism regarding the European economy.

Additional gains were recorded during December from long

positions in the euro and Swiss franc as their respective values

reversed upward versus the U.S. dollar as a result of new

confidence in the European economy and an overall skepticism

regarding the U.S. economy. During December, profits of

approximately 3.7% were recorded from short positions in the

Japanese yen as the value of the yen declined versus most major

currencies on further signs of weakness in the Japanese economy.

Gains of approximately 2.8% were also recorded primarily during

October and November from short South African rand positions as

its value weakened versus the U.S. dollar, while moving in

sympathy with other emerging market currencies. A portion of



the Partnership's overall gains was partially offset by losses of

approximately 1.2% recorded primarily during October and November

from long British pound positions as its value weakened versus

the U.S. dollar on disappointing economic data out of the U.K.

Additional losses were recorded during December from short

positions in the British pound as its value strengthened versus

the U.S. dollar on fresh evidence that the U.S. economy is

cooling down. Total expenses for the period from July 3, 2000

(commencement of operations) to December 31, 2000 were $609,687,

resulting in net income of $1,308,544. The net asset value of a

Unit increased from $10.00 at July 3, 2000 (commencement of

operations) to $11.17 at December 31, 2000.



The Partnership's overall performance record represents varied

results of trading in different futures, forwards, and options

markets. For a further description of 2000 trading results,

refer to the letter to the Limited Partners in the accompanying

Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31,

2000, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this

Form 10-K. The Partnership's gains and losses are allocated

among its partners for income tax purposes.









Credit Risk.

Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial

instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit

risk. The Partnership may trade futures, forwards, and options

in global currency markets. In entering into these contracts,

the Partnership is subject to the market risk that such contracts

may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as

interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less

valuable. If the markets should move against all of the

positions held by the Partnership at the same time, and if the

Trading Advisors were unable to offset positions of the

Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of its assets and

investors would realize a 100% loss.



In addition to the Trading Advisors' internal controls, the

Trading Advisors must comply with the trading policies of the

Partnership. These trading policies include standards for

liquidity and leverage with which the Partnership must comply.

The Trading Advisors and Demeter monitor the Partnership's

trading activities to ensure compliance with the trading

policies. Demeter may require the Trading Advisors to modify

positions of the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate the

Partnership's trading policies.





In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forwards,

and options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership

that the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its

obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or

guarantor of the Partnership for futures contracts traded in the

United States and the foreign exchanges on which the Partnership

trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In

general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the

exchange and will act in the event of non-performance by one of

its members or one of its member's customers, which should

significantly reduce this credit risk. For example, a

clearinghouse may cover a default by drawing upon a defaulting

member's mandatory contributions and/or non-defaulting members'

contributions to a clearinghouse guarantee fund, established

lines or letters of credit with banks, and/or the clearinghouse's

surplus capital and other available assets of the exchange and

clearinghouse, or assessing its members. In cases where the

Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a

counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the

forward contracts counterparty.



There is no assurance that a clearinghouse or exchange will meet

its obligations to the Partnership, and Demeter and the commodity

brokers will not indemnify the Partnership against a



default by such parties. Further, the law is unclear as to

whether a commodity broker has any obligation to protect its

customers from loss in the event of an exchange or clearinghouse

defaulting on trades effected for the broker's customers. Any

such obligation on the part of a broker appears even less clear

where the default occurs in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.



Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in

several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership's credit

exposure to each exchange on a daily basis, calculating not only

the amount of margin required for it but also the amount of its

unrealized gains at each exchange, if any. The commodity brokers

inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net

margin requirements for all its existing open positions, but do

not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange. Demeter,

however, has installed a system which permits it to monitor the

Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange by exchange.

As a result, Demeter is able to monitor the Partnership's

potential net credit exposure to each exchange by adding the

unrealized trading gains on that exchange, if any, to the

Partnership's margin liability thereon.









Second, the Partnership's trading policies limit the amount of

its net assets that can be committed at any given time to futures

contracts and require, in addition, a minimum amount of

diversification in the Partnership's trading, usually over

several different products. One of the aims of such trading

policies has been to reduce the credit exposure of the

Partnership to a single exchange and, historically, the

Partnership's exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted

to only a small percentage of its total net assets. On those

relatively few occasions where the Partnership's credit exposure

may climb above such level, Demeter deals with the situation on a

case by case basis, carefully weighing whether the increased

level of credit exposure remains appropriate. Material changes

to the trading policies may be made only with the prior written

approval of the limited partners owning more than 50% of Units

then outstanding.



Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership

trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, together

with DWR, have determined to be creditworthy. The Partnership

presently deals with MS & Co. as the sole counterparty on forward

contracts.







See "Financial Instruments" under Notes to Financial Statements

in the Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the

year ended December 31, 2000, which is incorporated by reference

to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.



Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK

Introduction

The Partnership is a commodity pool involved in the speculative

trading of futures, forwards, and options. The market-sensitive

instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative

trading purposes only and, as a result, all or substantially all

of the Partnership's assets are at risk of trading loss. Unlike

an operating company, the risk of market-sensitive instruments is

central, not incidental, to the Partnership's main business

activities.



The futures, forwards, and options traded by the Partnership

involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is

often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of

interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial

instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in market risk based

upon these factors result in frequent changes in the fair value

of the Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its

earnings and cash flow.



The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide

variety of factors, including the diversification among the

Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the

markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,

each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market

risk associated with the Partnership.



The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative

of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the

Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its

speculative trading. The Partnership's speculative trading may

cause future losses and volatility (i.e. "risk of ruin") that far

exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any reasonable

expectations based upon historical changes in market value.



Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the

Partnership's market risk exposures contain "forward-looking

statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil

liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the

Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934). All





quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-

looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for

statements of historical fact.



The Partnership accounts for open positions using mark-to-market

accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the

Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the

Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and its

cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-

traded futures, forwards, and options are settled daily through

variation margin.



The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sector traded by

the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk

("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many

variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's

trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model

based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.

Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of

hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.

The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and

interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated in the

VaR model include equity and commodity prices, interest rates,

foreign exchange rates, and correlation



among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio

value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key

market indices or other market factors ("market risk factors") to

which the portfolio is sensitive. The historical observation

period of the Partnership's VaR is approximately four years. The

one-day 99% confidence level of the Partnership's VaR corresponds

to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed

market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 100 trading

days.



VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously

evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling

techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that

the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for

historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either

Demeter or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management

activities.



The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors

The following table indicates the VaR associated with the

Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets

by primary market risk category at December 31, 2000. At

December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capitalization was

approximately $16 million.


Primary Market December 31, 2000
Risk Category Value at Risk

Currency (2.12)%


The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open

positions at December 31, 2000 only and is not necessarily

representative of either the historic or future risk of an

investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's only

business is the speculative trading of futures, forwards, and

options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change

significantly over any given time period, or even within a single

trading day. Any changes in open positions could positively or

negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.



The table below supplements the December 31, 2000 VaR by

presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a

percentage of total net assets for the two quarterly reporting

periods from July 3, 2000 through December 31, 2000.

Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average

Currency (2.85)% (2.12)% (2.49)%



Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the

Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin





requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and

15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage

causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by

the Partnership to typically be many times the total

capitalization of the Partnership. The value of the

Partnership's open positions thus creates a "risk of ruin" not

usually found in other investments. The relative size of the

positions held may cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly

in excess of VaR within a short period of time, given the effects

of the leverage employed and market volatility. The VaR tables

above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give

no indication of such "risk of ruin". In addition, VaR risk

measures should be viewed in light of the methodology's

limitations, which include the following:

past changes in market risk factors will not always result

in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of

future market movements;

changes in portfolio value in response to market movements

may differ from those of the VaR model;

VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk

depends on future positions;









VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the

market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged

within one day; and

the historical market risk factor data used for VaR

estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that

could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.



The VaR tables above present the results of the Partnership's VaR

for the Partnership's market risk exposure and on an aggregate

basis at December 31, 2000 and for the end of the two quarterly

reporting periods during the year 2000. Since VaR is based on

historical data, VaR should not be viewed as predictive of the

Partnership's future financial performance or its ability to

manage or monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the

Partnership's actual losses on a particular day will not exceed

the VaR amounts indicated above or that such losses will not

occur more than 1 in 100 trading days.



Non-Trading Risk

The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash

balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market

risk they may represent are immaterial. At December 31, 2000, the

Partnership's cash balance at DWR was approximately 92% of its

total net asset value. A decline in short-term interest



rates will result in a decline in the Partnership's cash

management income. This cash flow risk is not considered to be

material.



Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an

assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any

associated potential losses taking into account the leverage,

optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-

sensitive instruments.



Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's

market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are

statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the

Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures -

constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of

Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the

Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership's primary market risk

exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by

Demeter and the Trading Advisors for managing such exposures are

subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any

one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership's

risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such

strategies. Government interventions,



defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of

dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in

historical price relationships, an influx of new market

participants, increased regulation and many other factors could

result in material losses as well as in material changes to the

risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the

Partnership. Investors must be prepared to lose all or

substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.



The following was the primary trading risk exposure of the

Partnership as of December 31, 2000. It may be anticipated

however, that market exposure will vary materially over time.



Currency. The Partnership's currency exposure at December 31,

2000 was to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations

which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between

different currencies and currency pairs. Interest rate changes

as well as political and general economic conditions influence

these fluctuations. The Partnership trades in a large number of

currencies. For the fourth quarter of 2000, the Partnership's

major exposures were to outright U.S. dollar positions. Outright

positions consist of the U.S. dollar vs. other currencies. These

other currencies include major and minor currencies. Demeter

does not anticipate that the risk profile



of the Partnership's currency sector will change significantly in

the future. The currency trading VaR figure includes foreign

margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental

adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the

dollar-based Partnership in expressing VaR in a functional

currency other than dollars.



Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

At December 31, 2000 there was no non-trading risk exposure

because the Partnership did not have any foreign currency

balances.


Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

The Partnership and the Trading Advisors, separately, attempt to

manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in

essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.

Demeter attempts to manage the market exposure by diversifying

the Partnership's assets among different Trading Advisors, each

of whose strategies focus on different market sectors and trading

approaches, and monitoring the performance of the Trading

Advisors daily. In addition, the Trading Advisors









establish diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the

maximum margin to be committed to positions in any one market

sector or market-sensitive instrument.



Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-

trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership

investment directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Advisors.

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Annual Report
2000

Dear Limited Partner:

This marks the seventh annual report for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum
Global Balanced, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical, the tenth annual
report for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Select and the third annual
report for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Commodity. It also marks the
first annual report for Spectrum Currency, which began trading on July 3, 2000
with a Net Asset Value per Unit of $10.00. The Net Asset Value per Unit for
each of the six Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Funds as of December 31,
2000 was as follows:



Funds N.A.V. % change for year
----- ------ -----------------

Spectrum Commodity $ 7.85 3.2%
Spectrum Currency $11.17 11.7%
Spectrum Global Balanced $16.26 0.9%
Spectrum Select $23.57 7.1%
Spectrum Strategic $10.61 -33.1%
Spectrum Technical $16.08 7.8%


Spectrum Commodity

The Fund recorded profits primarily in the energy markets from long positions
in natural gas futures as prices increased amid ongoing supply concerns and
increased demand. Additional gains were recorded from long futures positions
in crude oil and its refined products as oil prices increased on concerns
about future output levels from the world's leading producer countries amid
dwindling stockpiles and increasing demand. Losses were recorded in the Fund
primarily in the metals markets from long silver futures positions as silver
prices declined throughout a majority of the year on technically-based fac-
tors.

Spectrum Currency

The Fund produced gains primarily from short positions in the euro and Japa-
nese yen as their respective values


weakened relative to the U.S. dollar amid continued skepticism regarding the
European economy and on further signs of weakness in the Japanese economy. Ad-
ditional gains were recorded from short South African rand positions as its
value weakened later in the year versus the U.S. dollar while moving in sympa-
thy with other emerging market currencies. These gains were partially offset
by losses experienced late in the year from long British pound positions as
its value weakened versus the U.S. dollar on disappointing economic data out
of the U.K. Losses were also recorded from short positions in the British
pound during December as its value strengthened versus the U.S. dollar on
fresh evidence that the U.S. economy is cooling down.

Spectrum Global Balanced

The Fund recorded gains primarily in the global interest rate futures markets
from long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as prices climbed higher
amid a drop in stock prices and on fears of an economic slowdown. Profits were
also recorded in the energy markets from long positions in natural gas and
crude oil futures as prices increased amid ongoing supply concerns and in-
creased demand. A portion of the Fund's overall gains for the year was offset
by losses experienced in the global stock index futures component from long
positions in Nikkei Index futures as Japanese equity prices declined due pri-
marily to the weakness in most global technology issues and economic uncer-
tainty in Japan.

Spectrum Select

The Fund recorded gains primarily in the global interest rate futures markets
from long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as prices climbed higher
amid a drop in stock prices and on fears of an economic slowdown. Profits were
also recorded in the energy markets from long positions in natural gas and
crude oil futures as prices increased amid ongoing supply concerns and in-
creased demand. Additional gains were generated in the currency markets from
short positions in the euro and Swiss franc as the value of these European
currencies weakened relative to the U.S. dollar during a majority of the year
amid skepticism about Europe's economic outlook. These gains were partially
offset by losses recorded primarily in the global stock index futures markets
from trading in U.S. stock indices as domestic equity prices moved erratically
due to jitters in the tech-


nology sector, a worrisome spike in oil prices and ongoing concerns regarding
the U.S. economy.

Spectrum Strategic

Spectrum Strategic experienced losses in every sector except energies, with
the majority of them occurring in stock indices, metals, soft commodities and
currencies. The primary reason behind the losses, as well as the gains, lies
in the unique trading philosophy of Spectrum Strategic. Specifically, the man-
agers in the Fund analyze markets from a fundamental or discretionary perspec-
tive. As such, the Fund will do well when the views the managers have taken
and the subsequent positions they have established are consistent with future
market movements. While this has occurred in the past (e.g., the Fund was up
37.2% in 1999), this year, however, the markets moved in a pattern that was
generally not consistent with the views held by the Fund's money managers and,
as a result, produced disappointing performance.

A significant percentage of Spectrum Strategic's losses this year occurred
during the first four months largely due to views that anticipated falling eq-
uity prices and rising coffee and base metals prices. In light of these views,
short positions were established in U.S. stock index futures and long posi-
tions in base metals and coffee futures. However, prices in these markets
moved in an opposite direction to the positions held (U.S. stock prices moved
higher, while base metal and coffee prices moved lower), and losses were in-
curred. Additionally, losses were experienced during the latter half of 2000
in lumber futures as a bullish forecast resulted in long positions being es-
tablished. However, as the economic outlook became more pessimistic and
weather became a factor, that market fell in value, thereby producing losses.
In currency trading, losses were experienced early in the second quarter from
long positions in the Japanese yen, as the value of the yen weakened versus
the U.S. dollar during April following the Bank of Japan's surprise yen-sell-
ing intervention on April 3, and from short positions in the yen during June
as the yen strengthened versus the dollar due to the perception that U.S. in-
terest rates had topped out. Transactions involving the euro were also unprof-
itable for the Fund during the year from long positions during January, July
and August as the value of the European common currency weakened versus the
U.S. dollar amid concerns regarding a


cooling European economy. Further losses were incurred in September from newly
established short positions in the European common currency as its value re-
versed sharply and suddenly higher versus the dollar due to a coordinated in-
tervention to support the euro on September 22.

In contrast to the views held about the markets that experienced difficulty
during 2000, the views held about energies resulted in gains being generated
in that sector. Specifically, prior to June 2000 the Fund was positioned for a
bullish price move in the energy markets, particularly in crude oil, and as a
result profited from long positions in these products as oil prices reached
10-year highs. In addition, long positions in natural gas futures also proved
profitable for the Fund during the year, specifically in the first, second and
fourth quarters, as natural gas prices climbed sharply higher, peaking in De-
cember at an all-time high due to supply and demand concerns.

Spectrum Technical

The Fund recorded profits primarily in the energy markets from long positions
in natural gas futures as prices increased amid ongoing supply concerns and
increased demand. Additional gains were recorded from long futures positions
in crude oil and its refined products as oil prices increased on concerns
about future output levels from the world's leading producer countries amid
dwindling stockpiles and increasing demand. Losses incurred in the metals mar-
kets from gold futures positions, as gold prices increased early in the year
and then reversed lower during the second half of the year, offset a portion
of the overall Fund gains.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization--Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Commodity L.P. (formerly
known as Morgan Stanley Tangible Asset Fund L.P.) ("Spectrum Commodity"), Mor-
gan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Currency L.P. ("Spectrum Currency"), Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. (formerly known as Dean Wit-
ter Spectrum Global Balanced L.P.) ("Spectrum Global Balanced"), Morgan Stan-
ley Dean Witter Spectrum Select L.P. (formerly known as Dean Witter Spectrum
Select L.P.) ("Spectrum Select"), Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Strate-
gic L.P. (formerly known as Dean Witter Spectrum Strategic L.P.) ("Spectrum
Strategic") and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Technical L.P. (formerly
known as Dean Witter Spectrum Technical L.P.) ("Spectrum Technical"), (indi-
vidually, a "Partnership," or collectively, the "Partnerships"), are limited
partnerships organized to engage in the speculative trading of futures and
forward contracts, options on futures contracts, physical commodities and
other commodity interests, including, but not limited to foreign currencies,
financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products (collectively,
"futures interests").

The general partner for each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation
("Demeter"). The non-clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter Reynolds Inc.
("DWR"). Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. Inter-
national Limited ("MSIL") provide clearing and execution services. Prior to
October 2000, Carr Futures Inc. ("Carr") provided clearing and execution serv-
ices to Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and
Spectrum Technical. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Commodities Management, Inc.
("MSCM") is the trading advisor to Spectrum Commodity. Demeter, DWR, MS&Co.,
MSIL and MSCM are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter &
Co. ("MSDW").

Spectrum Commodity became one of the Spectrum Series of funds effective March
6, 2000.

Spectrum Currency commenced trading as of July 3, 2000.

Spectrum Select became one of the Spectrum Series of funds effective June 1,
1998. Each outstanding unit of limited partnership interest ("Unit(s)") in
Dean Witter Select Futures Fund L.P. was converted to 100 Units of Spectrum
Select. The number of Units outstanding, net income or loss per Unit and Net
Asset Value per Unit have been adjusted for all reporting periods prior to
this conversion.

Effective February 19, 1998, Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter, Discover & Co.
changed its corporate name to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.

Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each
Partnership and income (losses) are shared by


Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)

Demeter and the Limited Partners based upon their proportional ownership in-
terests.

Use of Estimates--The financial statements are prepared in accordance with ac-
counting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. Management be-
lieves that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial state-
ments are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those esti-
mates.

Revenue Recognition--Futures interests are open commitments until settlement
date. They are valued at market on a daily basis and the resulting net change
in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in the change in unrealized
profits (losses) on open contracts from one period to the next in the
statements of operations. Monthly, DWR pays each Partnership interest income
based upon 80% of its average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the limited
partnership agreements) for the month in the case of Spectrum Commodity,
Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical,
and 100% in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. The interest rate is equal
to a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills. For purposes of such interest
payments, Net Assets do not include monies due the Partnership on futures
interests, but not actually received.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit--Net income (loss) per Unit is computed using the
weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period.

Equity in Futures Interests Trading Accounts--The Partnerships' asset "Equity
in futures interests trading accounts," reflected in the statements of
financial condition consists of (A) cash on deposit with DWR, MS&Co. and MSIL
to be used as margin for trading; (B) net unrealized gains or losses on open
contracts, which are valued at market and calculated as the difference between
original contract value and market value, and (C) net option premiums, which
represent the net of all monies paid and/or received for such option premiums.

The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various
contracts with MS&Co. and MSIL acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to
brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and MSIL, to the extent that such trading
results in unrealized gains or losses, these amounts are offset and reported
on a net basis on the Partnerships' statements of financial condition.

The Partnerships have offset the fair value amounts recognized for forward
contracts executed with the same counterparty as allowable under terms of the
master netting agreements with MS&Co., the sole counterparty on such
contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.

Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs-- The brokerage fee for
Spectrum Commodity, Spectrum Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are accrued
at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 4.6% (a 4.6% annual rate) of Net Assets as
of the first day of each month. Prior to April 1, 2000, brokerage fees for
Spectrum Commodity were accrued at a monthly rate of 1/12 of 3.65% of Net
Assets (a 3.65% annual rate) as of the first day of each month. Prior to June
1, 1998, brokerage fees for Spectrum Global Balanced were accrued at 49/120 of
1% of Net Assets (a 4.9% annual rate) as of the first day of each month.

Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical
are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 7.25% (a 7.25% annual rate) of
Net Assets as of the first day of each month. Prior to June 1, 1998, brokerage
commissions for Spectrum Select were accrued on a half-turn basis at 80% of
DWR's published non-member rates and transaction fees and costs were accrued
on a half-turn basis. Brokerage commissions and transaction fees and costs
combined were capped at 13/20 of 1% per month (a 7.8% maximum annual rate) of
Spectrum Select's month-end Net Assets. Prior to June 1, 1998, brokerage fees
for Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical were accrued at 51/80 of 1% of
the Net Assets (a 7.65% annual rate) as of the first day of each month.

Such brokerage fees currently cover all brokerage commissions, transaction
fees and costs and ordinary administrative and continuing offering expenses.

Service Fee--Prior to April 1, 2000, Spectrum Commodity paid Demeter a monthly
service fee equal to 1/12 of 1% per month (a 1% annual rate) of the
Partnership's Net Assets as of the first day of each month.

Operating Expenses--The Partnerships incur monthly management fees and may
incur incentive fees. All common administrative and continuing offering
expenses including legal, auditing, accounting, filing fees and other related
expenses are borne by DWR through the brokerage fees paid by the Partnerships
(effective June 1, 1998 for Spectrum Select with its change to a flat rate
brokerage fee).

Prior to June 1, 1998, Spectrum Select was charged all operating expenses re-
lated to its trading activities to a maximum of 1/4 of 1% annually of Spectrum
Select's average month end Net Assets. Demeter was responsible for operating
expenses in excess of the cap.

Income Taxes--No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying
financial statements, as partners are individually responsible for reporting
income or loss based upon their respective share of each Partnership's reve-
nues and expenses for income tax purposes.

Distributions--Distributions, other than redemptions of Units, are made on a
pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of Demeter. No distributions have been
made to date.


Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)


Continuing Offering--Units of each Partnership are offered at a price equal to
100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the close of business on the last
day of the month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing
offering of Units will be paid by the Limited Partners or the Partnership. DWR
will pay all such costs.

Redemptions--Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their Units at 100% of
the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the last day of any month that
is at least six months after the closing at which a person becomes a Limited
Partner, upon five business days advance notice by redemption form to Demeter.
Thereafter, Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month
after such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption charge equal
to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption. Units
redeemed after the last day of the twelfth month and on or prior to the last
day of the twenty-fourth month after which such Units were purchased will be
subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on
the date of such redemption. Units redeemed after the last day of the twenty-
fourth month after which such Units were purchased will not be subject to a
redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges will be paid to DWR.
Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50 Units,
unless a Limited Partner is redeeming his entire interest in a Partnership.

Exchanges--On the last day of the first month which occurs more than six
months after a person first becomes a Limited Partner in any of the Partner-
ships, and at the end of each month thereafter, Limited Partners may exchange
their investment among the Partnerships (subject to certain restrictions out-
lined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) without paying additional charges.

Dissolution of the Partnerships--Spectrum Commodity will terminate on December
31, 2027, Spectrum Currency,Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Strategic and
Spectrum Technical will terminate on December 31, 2035 and Spectrum Select
will terminate on December 31, 2025 regardless of financial condition at such
time, or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as defined in each
Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.

2. Related Party Transactions

The Partnerships pay brokerage fees to DWR as described in Note 1. Each Part-
nership's cash is on deposit with DWR, MS&Co. and MSIL in futures interests
trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed. DWR pays interest on
these funds as described in Note 1. Spectrum Commodity paid Demeter a service
fee prior to April 1, 2000 and pays management fees, and when applicable, in-
centive fees to MSCM.

4. Financial Instruments

The Partnerships trade futures and forward contracts, options on futures con-
tracts, physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not
limited to foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agri-
cultural products. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed deliv-
ery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Risk arises from changes
in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties
to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which
may significantly influence the market value of these contracts, including in-
terest rate volatility.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued State-
ment of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Deriv-
ative Instruments and Hedging Activities" effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000, as amended by SFAS No. 137. The Partnership adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 133 beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998. SFAS No. 133 superceded SFAS Nos. 119 and 105, which required the dis-
closure of average aggregate fair values and contract/notional values, respec-
tively, of derivative financial instruments for an entity that carries its as-
sets at fair value. SFAS No. 133 was further amended by SFAS No. 138, which
clarifies issues sur-


Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)

rounding interest rate risk, foreign currency denominations, normal purchases
and sales and net hedging. The application of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS
No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, did not have a significant effect on the Partner-
ships' financial statements.

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

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

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

The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts are reported as a compo-
nent of "Equity in futures interests tradingaccounts'' on the statements of
financial condition and totaled at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
$(25,283) and $542,428 for Spectrum Commodity, $3,317,644 and $810,114 for

$18,036,296 for Spectrum Technical. For Spectrum Currency, the net realized
gain totaled $555,569 at December 31, 2000.

For Spectrum Commodity, the $25,283 net unrealized loss on open contracts at
December 31, 2000 and the $542,428 net unrealized gain on open contracts at
December 31, 1999 all related to exchange-traded futures contracts.

For Spectrum Currency, the $555,569 net unrealized gain on open contracts at
December 31, 2000 was related to off-exchange-traded forward currency con-
tracts.

For Spectrum Global Balanced, of the $3,317,644 net unrealized gain on open
contracts at December 31, 2000, $3,374,178 related to exchange-traded futures
contracts and $(56,534) related to off-exchange-traded forward currency con-
tracts. Of the $810,114 net unrealized gain on open contracts atDecember 31,
1999, $669,640 related to exchange-traded futures contracts and $140,474 re-
lated to off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts.

For Spectrum Select, of the $25,552,297 net unrealized gain on open contracts
at December 31, 2000, $23,901,575 related to exchange-traded futures and
futures-styled options contracts


Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)

and $1,650,722 related to off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts. Of
the $6,887,064 net unrealized gain on open contracts at December 31, 1999,

tracts and $(47,976) related to off-exchange-traded forward currency con-
tracts.

For Spectrum Strategic, the $1,986,132 net unrealized gain on open contracts
at December 31, 2000 and the $9,563,813 net unrealized gain on open contracts
at December 31, 1999 all related to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled
options contracts.

For Spectrum Technical, of the $40,042,309 net unrealized gain on open
contracts at December 31, 2000, $37,170,209 related to exchange-traded futures
and futures-styled options contracts and $2,872,100 related to off-exchange-
traded forward currency contracts. Of the $18,036,296 net unrealized gain on
open contracts at December 31, 1999, $17,006,044 related to exchange-traded
futures and futures-styled options contracts and $1,030,252 related to off-
exchange-traded forward currency contracts.

Exchange-traded contracts and off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts
held by the Partnerships at December 2000 and 1999 mature as follows:

The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance.
The credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnerships are
involved is limited to the amounts reflected in the Partnerships' statements
of financial condition.

The Partnerships also have credit risk because DWR, MS&Co. and MSIL act as the
futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most of
the Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options
contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations


Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)

in value settled on a daily basis. Each of DWR, MS&Co. and MSIL, as a futures
commission merchant for each Partnership's exchange-traded futures and
futures-styled options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations of the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission to segregate from their own assets, and
for the sole benefit of their commodity customers, all funds held by them with
respect to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts, in-
cluding an amount equal to the net unrealized gain on all open futures and
futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively, $20,504,696 and $23,972,565 for Spec-
trum Commodity, $55,788,482 and $57,574,561 for Spectrum Global Balanced,
$220,456,937 and $214,186,052 for Spectrum Select, $75,431,959 and
$107,372,141 for Spectrum Strategic and $268,672,299 and $268,449,799 for
Spectrum Technical. For Spectrum Currency, the amount totaled $14,391,541 at
December 31, 2000. With respect to the Partnerships' off-exchange-traded for-
ward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements of variations in value
nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gain
on open forward contracts be segregated. With respect to those off-exchange-
traded forward currency contracts, the Partnerships are at risk to the ability
of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all of such contracts, to perform. Each
Partnership has a netting agreement with MS&Co.. These agreements, which seek
to reduce both the Partnerships' and MS&Co.'s exposure on off-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnerships'
credit risk in the event of MS&Co.'s bankruptcy or insolvency.

5. Legal Matters

Similar class actions were filed in 1996 in California and New York State
courts. Each of the actions were dismissed in 1999. However, the New York
State class action discussed below is still pending because plaintiffs ap-
pealed the trial court's dismissal of their case on March 3, 2000.

On September 18 and 20, 1996, purported class actions were filed in the Su-
preme Court of the State of New York, New York County, on behalf of all pur-
chasers of interests in limited partnership commodity pools sold by DWR. Named
defendants include DWR, Demeter, Dean Witter Futures & Currency Management
Inc., MSDW, Spectrum Select (under its original name, "Dean Witter Select
Futures Fund L.P.") and certain other limited partnership commodity pools of
which Demeter is the general partner, and certain trading advisors to those
pools. A consolidated and amended complaint in the action pending in the Su-
preme Court of the State of New York was filed on August 13, 1997, alleging
that the defendants committed fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligent
misrepresentation in the sale and operation of the various limited partnership
commodity pools. The complaints sought unspecified amounts of compensatory and
punitive damages and other relief. The New York Supreme Court dismissed the
New York


Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Notes to Financial Statements--(Concluded)

action in November 1998, but granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended com-
plaint, which they did in early December 1998. The defendants filed a motion
to dismiss the amended complaint with prejudice on February 1, 1999. By deci-
sion dated December 21, 1999, the New York Supreme Court dismissed the case
with prejudice. However, on March 3, 2000 plaintiffs appealed the trial
court's dismissal of their case.
