Polish zloty, Brazilian real, Norwegian krone, Swedish krona, Czech
koruna, Chilean peso, Russian ruble, and Taiwan dollar.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
. The most significant trading losses were incurred, primarily during March
and April, from short positions in the Mexican peso, euro, and Canadian
dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower
after a government report showed U.S. employers cut fewer jobs than
forecast. During July, losses were recorded from long positions in the
Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Mexican peso
declined during the first half of the month on concerns that the Mexican
economy might take longer to recover from a recession than investors
previously estimated. Newly established short positions in the Mexican peso
versus the U.S. dollar incurred additional losses during August, September,
and October as the value of the Mexican peso rose higher on improved
confidence in Mexico's economy. Meanwhile, further losses were incurred
during June from long positions in the euro and Canadian dollar versus the
U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed higher against these
currencies amid speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise
interest rates following news that U.S. payrolls fell less than expected in
May. Additional losses were incurred during July from short positions in the
euro versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the euro climbed higher on signs
that the recession in the Euro-Zone was abating. During September and
October, newly established long positions in the euro versus the U.S. dollar
resulted in losses as the value of the euro reversed lower amid concerns
regarding the rapid appreciation of the euro at the meeting of Group of 20
("G-20") leaders. Further losses were incurred from short positions in the
Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Canadian dollar
moved higher during October after crude oil, the nation's biggest export,
rallied higher.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P.
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM CURRENCY L.P.)
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: (continued)
. Additional losses were incurred from long positions in the Japanese yen
versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the Japanese yen moved lower against
most of its rivals during January and February due to speculation that the
Bank of Japan might intervene to weaken the currency. Further losses were
recorded during March and May from newly established short positions in the
Japanese yen as the value of the Japanese yen reversed higher amid optimism
that demand for the Japanese currency might strengthen. Losses were also
experienced during June from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the
U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed higher amid the
aforementioned speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise
interest rates following better-than-expected U.S. economic data. During
July and August, both long and short positions in the Japanese yen versus
the U.S. dollar resulted in losses as the value of the Japanese yen moved
without consistent direction during July and August following conflicting
economic data out of Japan.
. Lastly, losses were recorded from short positions in the Swiss franc versus
the U.S. dollar, primarily during March and May, as the value of the Swiss
franc moved higher against the U.S. dollar after better-than-expected
economic data out of Switzerland added to speculation that the Swiss economy
might rebound sooner than expected. Losses were also incurred during July
and September from short positions in the Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar
as the value of the U.S. dollar reversed lower against the Swiss franc amid
investor belief that the U.S. Federal Reserve might keep U.S. interest rates
at historic lows. In December, long positions in the Mexican peso, Japanese
yen, and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar resulted in additional losses as
the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher against these currencies amid
speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise interest rates earlier
than expected.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
. Gains were experienced primarily during April, May, and September from long
positions in the Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and Brazilian real
versus the U.S. dollar. Long positions in the Australian dollar, New Zealand
dollar, and Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar profited as the value of
the U.S. dollar moved lower against most of its rivals after a government
report showed U.S. employers cut fewer jobs than forecast, which reduced
demand for the U.S. dollar as a "safe haven" currency. During October,
further gains were experienced from long positions in the Australian dollar,
New Zealand dollar, and Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar as the value
of these currencies moved higher against the U.S. dollar amid speculation
that the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, and the
Central Bank of Brazil might raise interest rates faster than other
developed countries. Additionally, the value of the Australian dollar and
New Zealand dollar moved higher throughout a majority of the year in the
wake of stronger gold prices.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
. The most significant trading losses were incurred within the energy markets
primarily during March, April, May, and July from short futures positions in
crude oil and its related products as prices moved higher amid positive
economic data, which spurred optimism that energy demand might rebound.
Additional losses were recorded during October from newly established long
futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices reversed
lower after government reports showed U.S. consumer spending dropped for the
first time in seven months.
. Losses were experienced in the currency sector primarily during February,
March, May, July, and August from short positions in the euro and Mexican
peso versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower
against most of its rivals after a government report showed U.S. employers
cut fewer jobs than forecast. Additional losses were incurred, primarily
during January and April, from long positions in the euro versus the
Canadian dollar as the value of the Canadian dollar moved higher on strength
in the commodity markets.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED L.P.
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM GLOBAL BALANCED L.P.)
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: (continued)
. Losses were incurred within the agricultural complex primarily during March
and June from short futures positions in coffee and feeder cattle as prices
rose on speculation that government bailouts might help revive the world
economy and boost demand for these commodities. Coffee prices continued to
move higher throughout a majority of the third quarter on speculation that
adverse weather in Colombia and Brazil might disrupt harvests and tighten
supplies, thus resulting in losses for short positions. Further losses in
the agricultural complex resulted from long and short futures positions in
soybeans as prices moved without consistent direction during July, August,
September, and October amid conflicting reports regarding supply and demand.
. Within the global interest rate sector, losses were experienced primarily
during January from long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures
as prices dropped following news that debt sales might increase as
governments around the world boosted spending in an effort to ease the
deepening economic slump. Additional losses were incurred during April and
June from long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures as prices
moved lower after a pledge from G-20 leaders to support the global economy
reduced demand for the relative "safety" of government bonds. Further losses
were experienced during December from long positions in U.S., European, and
Australian fixed-income futures as prices fell sharply amid concern that an
unprecedented supply of government bonds might outweigh demand as
governments around the world were issuing record amounts of debt to finance
economic stimulus measures.
. Lastly, losses were recorded in the metals sector throughout a majority of
the first half of the year from short futures positions in aluminum and tin
as prices reversed higher on speculation that economic stimulus plans in the
U.S. and China would help boost demand for base metals. Additional losses
were incurred in the metals sector, primarily during December, from short
positions in nickel futures as prices rose on speculation that demand in
China and the U.S., the world's biggest purchasers of base metals, might
strengthen as the global economy continued to improve.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
. Gains were achieved in the global stock index sector throughout a majority
of the second half of the year from long positions in European, U.S., and
Pacific Rim equity index futures as prices moved higher due to positive
corporate earnings reports, stronger-than-expected economic data, and
optimism that the global economy might be stabilizing.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
. The most significant trading losses were incurred within the global interest
rate sector, primarily during January, March, April, and June, from long
positions in U.S., European, and Japanese fixed-income futures as prices
dropped following news that debt sales might increase as governments around
the world boosted spending in an effort to ease the deepening economic
slump. Newly established short positions in European, U.S., and Japanese
fixed-income futures resulted in further losses, primarily during July, as
prices moved higher on investor sentiment that the slow pace of the global
economic recovery and signs of moderate inflation might lead central banks
in these regions to maintain low interest rates in the near term. Additional
losses were recorded during August from newly established long positions in
European fixed-income futures as prices reversed lower at the beginning of
the month amid a rise in the European equity markets. During December,
further losses were incurred from long positions in U.S. and European
fixed-income futures as prices fell sharply amid concern that an
unprecedented supply of government bonds might outweigh demand as
governments around the world were issuing record amounts of debt to finance
economic stimulus measures.
. In the energy sector, losses were experienced primarily during July from
short futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices
moved higher during the latter half of the month amid better-than-expected
quarterly earnings reports and positive economic data. During August, newly
established long futures positions in crude oil and its related products
recorded additional losses as prices reversed lower due to above-average
U.S. stockpiles. Further losses were incurred during October from long
futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices reversed
lower after government reports showed U.S. consumer spending dropped for the
first time in seven months.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SELECT L.P.)
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES: (continued)
. Additional losses were recorded in the currency sector, primarily during
March, from short positions in the Swiss franc and euro versus the U.S.
dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar decreased relative to most of its
rivals following the U.S. Federal Reserve's surprise plans to begin a more
aggressive phase of quantitative easing and economic stimulus spending.
Additional losses were recorded during June and July from long positions in
the Swiss franc and euro versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S.
dollar reversed higher against these currencies following
better-than-expected U.S. payrolls and durable goods data. Elsewhere, long
positions in the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar incurred losses,
primarily during July and August, as the value of the Mexican peso declined
on concerns that Mexico might take longer to recover from a recession than
investors previously estimated. Long positions in the British pound versus
the U.S. dollar also experienced losses as the British pound fell during
August and September on news that U.K. consumer confidence rose to the
highest level in more than a year and Bank of England officials indicated
inflation in that country might remain low. Lastly, losses were incurred
from long positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar primarily in
December as the value of the U.S. dollar moved higher on speculation that
the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise interest rates earlier than expected.
. Smaller losses were recorded in the agricultural complex from long positions
in coffee futures, primarily during June, as prices reversed lower and fell
throughout a majority of the third quarter amid expectations of higher
global output. Elsewhere, losses were recorded from long and short futures
positions in the soybean complex as prices moved without consistent
direction during July and August amid conflicting reports regarding supply
and demand.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
. Within the metals complex, gains were achieved primarily during July and
August from long futures positions in copper as prices rose following news
of an economic expansion in China during the second quarter of 2009, thereby
spurring speculation that China's demand for base metals might rise. In
December, additional gains were recorded as copper futures prices rose to a
15-month high after workers at the world's second-biggest copper mine in
Chile voted to go on strike, thereby threatening the global supply.
Meanwhile, gains were achieved from long positions in gold futures primarily
during October and November as prices rose due to concerns of a rise in
inflation, as well as amid a drop in the value of the U.S. dollar.
. Lastly, gains were recorded within the global stock index markets throughout
July, August, and September from long positions in European, U.S., and Hong
Kong equity index futures as prices increased due to positive economic data
and increased merger and acquisition activity in the technology sector.
Further gains were achieved from long positions in European and U.S. global
stock index futures as prices continued to increase throughout November and
December after positive economic data and strong corporate earnings reports
reinforced optimism that the global economic recovery might be gaining
momentum.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
. The most significant trading gains were experienced in the agricultural
markets throughout a majority of the second quarter from long positions in
sugar futures as prices moved higher on expectations for a drop in global
production. Furthermore, sugar prices continued to move higher throughout
the third quarter, reaching 28-year highs, amid speculation that the global
production deficit might continue for two consecutive years, triggered by
increasing demand from India, the world's largest consumer. Sugar prices
continued to surge during December amid news that excess rain in Brazil, the
world's biggest producer of sugar, hampered harvesting and curbed output.
Elsewhere, gains were achieved primarily during July, September, and October
from long positions in cocoa futures as prices moved higher on supply
concerns due to news of a smaller-than-average crop this year and after
reports showed inventories reached a seven-month low.
. Additional gains were recorded in the metals complex throughout a majority
of the year from long positions in copper, zinc, and nickel futures as
prices moved higher due to sentiment that efforts by the Chinese government
to revive that nation's economy might boost demand for base metals.
Meanwhile, long positions in palladium futures also resulted in gains as
prices moved higher throughout a majority of the year amid news of a
possible strike at a South African producer, as well as expectations for
increased demand.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM STRATEGIC L.P.
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM STRATEGIC L.P.)
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS: (continued)
. Within the global interest rate sector, gains were recorded during January,
April, August, September, and December, from short positions in U.S.
fixed-income futures as prices dropped following news that debt sales might
increase as governments around the world boosted spending in an effort to
ease the deepening economic slump. Elsewhere, long positions in short-term
European interest rate futures resulted in gains as prices increased during
January after a drop in global equity markets and as growing concerns about
the global economic recession fueled demand for the relative "safety" of
government assets. Prices continued to move higher during March, May, July,
and September after the European Central Bank cut its benchmark interest
rate to a record 1.5%, thus resulting in further gains for long positions.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING LOSSES:
. In the currency sector, losses were experienced primarily during February,
March, April, May, and December from long positions in the Japanese yen
versus the U.S. dollar and euro as the value of the Japanese yen reversed
lower against most of its rivals amid speculation that the Bank of Japan
might intervene to weaken the currency, as well as on news that Japan's
trade deficit substantially increased. Meanwhile, additional losses were
recorded, primarily during January, March, April, and June, from short
positions in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the
U.S. dollar decreased relative to most of its rivals following the U.S.
Federal Reserve's surprise plans to begin a more aggressive phase of
quantitative easing and economic stimulus spending. Elsewhere, losses were
recorded, primarily during July and August, from short positions in the
Swedish krona, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and Korean won versus the U.S.
dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar moved lower against these currencies
on speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might keep borrowing rates low.
. Within the global stock index sector, losses were experienced primarily
during March and April from short positions in U.S., European, and Pacific
Rim equity index futures as prices reversed higher after G-20 officials
indicated that participating governments and central banks would "take
whatever further actions are necessary to stabilize the financial system".
Prices continued to move higher during July and August due to positive
economic data and increased merger and acquisition activity in the
technology sector, resulting in further losses for short positions in U.S.,
European, and Pacific Rim equity index futures. Newly established long
positions in U.S., European, and Pacific Rim stock index futures resulted in
additional losses during October as prices reversed lower towards the end of
the month amid speculation that the recent price rally in global equities
might have outpaced prospects for economic growth.
. Lastly, smaller losses were incurred within the energy sector primarily
during January from long futures positions in crude oil and its related
products as prices moved lower amid speculation that the ongoing global
economic recession might further erode energy demand. Newly established
short futures positions in crude oil and its related products resulted in
losses during March, May, and July as prices rose on hopes that the decision
by the U.S. Federal Reserve to buy government bonds might boost energy
demand. During August, newly established long futures positions in crude oil
and its related products recorded additional losses as prices reversed lower
due to above-average U.S. stockpiles.

Japanese yen reversed lower against most of its rivals amid speculation that
the Bank of Japan might intervene to weaken the currency, as well as on news
that Japan's trade deficit substantially increased. Further losses were

were incurred during June from long positions in the British pound, Canadian

the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise interest rates. Long positions in the
Canadian dollar, euro, and Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar resulted in
further losses during August as the value of the U.S. dollar was supported
higher against these currencies after reports revealed a rise in U.S.
durable goods orders and news that U.S. new home sales reached a
four-and-a-half year high in July. Short positions in the British pound
versus the U.S. dollar also recorded losses as the value of the British
pound increased relative to the U.S. dollar during October amid positive
economic data out of the United Kingdom. Lastly, in December, losses were
incurred from long positions in the Japanese yen, euro, Australian dollar,
and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. dollar
reversed higher against these currencies amid speculation that the U.S.

FACTORS INFLUENCING ANNUAL TRADING GAINS:
. In the global stock index sector, gains were experienced throughout a
majority of the third quarter from long positions in European, U.S.,
Taiwanese, and Hong Kong equity index futures as prices increased due to
strong corporate earnings and increased merger and acquisition activity in
the technology sector. Prices continued to climb higher in November and
December amid signs that the global economy might be recovering, thus
resulting in further gains for long positions.
. Within the metals sector, gains were achieved primarily during September,
October, and November from long positions in gold futures as prices moved
higher amid a drop in the value of the U.S. dollar, which spurred demand for
precious metals as an alternative investment. Elsewhere, long positions in
zinc and copper futures resulted in gains throughout a majority of the
second half of the year as prices trended higher due to sentiment that
efforts by the Chinese government to revive that nation's economy might
boost demand for base metals.
. Smaller gains were experienced in the agricultural complex throughout a
majority of the third quarter from long futures positions in sugar as prices
moved sharply higher amid speculation that a global production deficit might
continue for two consecutive years, triggered by increasing demand from
India, the world's largest consumer. Sugar prices continued to move higher
in December, reaching a 28-year high, amid news that excess rain in Brazil,
the world's biggest producer of sugar, hampered harvesting and curbed output.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Demeter Management LLC ("Demeter"), the general partner of Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency
L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. (formerly,
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
Spectrum Select L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P.), Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Strategic L.P.), and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P.
(formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.) (individually, a
"Partnership", or collectively, the "Partnerships"), is responsible for the
management of the Partnerships.
Management of Demeter ("Management") is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that:
. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Partnerships;
. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that the Partnerships' transactions are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and
directors of Demeter; and
. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and
correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Partnerships' assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of each Partnership's internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment,
Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control--Integrated
Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, Management believes that
each Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2009.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Partnerships' independent registered public
accounting firm, has issued an audit report on the Partnerships' internal
control over financial reporting. This report, which expresses an unqualified
opinion on Management's assessment and on the effectiveness of the
Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting, appears under "Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" on the following page.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Limited Partners and the General Partner of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
Spectrum Currency L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency L.P.),
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. (formerly, Morgan
Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P.), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum
Select L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select L.P.), Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. (formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Strategic L.P.), and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P.
(formerly, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P.):
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select
L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. (collectively, the "Partnerships"),
including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2009. We also have audited the Partnerships' internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal
Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnerships' management is
responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an
opinion on the Partnerships' internal control over financial reporting based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.
A partnership's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
by, or under the supervision of, the partnership's principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and
effected by the partnership's general partner, management, and other personnel
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A partnership's
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the partnership; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the partnership are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and the general partner of the partnership; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the partnership's assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of
the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced
L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith
Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum
Technical L.P. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their
operations, their changes in partners' capital, and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also,
in our opinion, the Partnerships maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009,
based on the criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

1. ORGANIZATION
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Currency L.P. ("Spectrum Currency"),
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global Balanced L.P. ("Spectrum Global
Balanced"), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum
Select"), Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. ("Spectrum
Strategic"), and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. ("Spectrum
Technical") (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively, the
"Partnerships"), are limited partnerships organized to engage primarily in the
speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward
contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity
interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial
instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products (collectively, "Futures
Interests") (refer to Note 7. Financial Instruments).
The general partner of each Partnership is Demeter Management LLC
("Demeter"). The commodity brokers for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum
Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical are Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated ("MS&Co.") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSIP").
Spectrum Currency's commodity broker is MS&Co. MS&Co. acts as the counterparty
on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. Morgan Stanley Capital
Group Inc. ("MSCG") acts as the counterparty on all trading of options on
foreign currency forward contracts. MS&Co., MSIP, and MSCG are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
On April 30, 2009, Demeter Management Corporation was converted from a
Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and changed its
name to Demeter Management LLC. Demeter is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC, which is majority-owned indirectly by Morgan
Stanley and minority-owned indirectly by Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup").
Demeter does not believe that the change in its ownership had a material
impact on each Partnership's limited partners. At all times Demeter served as
the general partner of the Partnerships and it continues to do so. The change
in ownership occurred pursuant to the transaction in which Morgan Stanley and
Citigroup agreed to combine the Global Wealth Management Group of Morgan
Stanley and the Smith Barney division of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. into a
new joint venture. The transaction closed on June 1, 2009.
Prior to June 1, 2009, Demeter was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan
Stanley.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SERIES
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Effective September 29, 2009, Demeter changed the name of Morgan Stanley
Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global Balanced L.P., Morgan
Stanley Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic L.P., and
Morgan Stanley Spectrum Technical L.P., respectively, to Morgan Stanley Smith
Barney Spectrum Currency L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Global
Balanced L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P., and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum
Technical L.P., respectively. The name change does not have any impact on the
operation of each Partnership or its limited partners.
On January 1, 2008, the portion of Spectrum Strategic's assets which are
managed by Blenheim Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Blenheim") were initially
invested as capital in Morgan Stanley Smith Barney BHM I, LLC ("BHM I, LLC").
BHM I, LLC was formed in order to permit commodity pools operated by Demeter
and managed by Blenheim to invest together in one trading vehicle and to
promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Demeter is the trading
manager of BHM I, LLC. Spectrum Strategic's allocation to Blenheim is effected
by investing substantially all of the capital that is allocated to Blenheim in
BHM I, LLC. There is no material change to the investors as a result of the
investment in BHM I, LLC.
Effective February 29, 2008, Demeter terminated the management agreement by
and among Demeter, Spectrum Global Balanced, and Cornerstone Quantitative
Investment Group, Inc. ("Cornerstone"). Consequently, Cornerstone ceased all
Futures Interests trading on behalf of Spectrum Global Balanced as of February
29, 2008.
Effective February 29, 2008, Demeter terminated the management agreement by
and among Demeter, Spectrum Strategic, and Cornerstone. Consequently,
Cornerstone ceased all Futures Interests trading on behalf of Spectrum
Strategic as of February 29, 2008.
Effective December 1, 2008, the Partnerships no long offer units of limited
partnership interest ("Unit(s)") for purchase or exchange.
On April 1, 2007, Morgan Stanley merged Morgan Stanley DW Inc. ("Morgan
Stanley DW") into MS&Co. Upon completion of the merger, the surviving entity,
MS&Co., became the Partnerships' principal U.S. commodity broker-dealer.
On April 13, 2007, Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited changed its
name to Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc.
Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the equity of each
Partnership and income (losses) are shared by Demeter and the limited partners
based upon their proportional ownership interests.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
"GAAP"), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures.
Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the
financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
VALUATION. Futures Interests are open commitments until settlement date, at
which time they are realized. They are valued at fair value, generally on a
daily basis, and the unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the
difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the
Statements of Financial Condition as a net unrealized gain or loss on open
contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected
in the change in unrealized trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one
period to the next on the Statements of Operations. The fair value of
exchange-traded futures, options and forwards contracts is determined by the
various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract
as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period.
The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a
forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.)
of the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The
fair value of non-exchange-traded foreign currency option contracts is
calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options
valuation of foreign currency options, using as input, the spot prices,
interest rates, and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00
P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period.
The Partnerships may buy or write put and call options through listed
exchanges and the over-the-counter market. The buyer of an option has the right
to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put
option) a specified quantity of a specific Futures Interest on the underlying
asset at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date. The
writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the fair value of a
Futures Interest on the underlying asset declines (in the case of a put option)
or increases (in the case of a call option). The writer of an option can never
profit by more than the premium paid by the buyer but can potentially lose an
unlimited amount.
Premiums received/premiums paid from writing/purchasing options are recorded
as liabilities/assets on the Statements of Financial Condition and are
subsequently adjusted to fair values. The difference between the fair value of
an option and the premiums received/premiums paid is treated as an unrealized
gain or loss.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SERIES
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Monthly, MS&Co. pays each Partnership interest income at
a rate equal to the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount
rate during such month on 80% of the funds on deposit with the commodity
brokers at each month-end in the case of Spectrum Currency, Spectrum Select,
Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum Technical, and on 100% of the funds on deposit
in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced. For purposes of such interest
payments, net assets do not include monies owed to the Partnerships on Futures
Interests.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The fair value of the Partnerships'
assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") 825-10-50-10, Financial Instruments (formerly,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, Disclosures About
Fair Values of Financial Instruments), approximates the carrying amount
presented in the Statements of Financial Condition.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Partnerships' functional currency is the
U.S. dollar; however, the Partnerships may transact business in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in
effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense
items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into
U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses
resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT. Net income (loss) per Unit is computed in
accordance with the specialized accounting for Investment Companies as
illustrated in the Financial Highlights Footnote (See Note 10. Financial
Highlights).
TRADING EQUITY. The Partnerships' asset "Trading Equity," reflected on the
Statements of Financial Condition, consists of (A) cash on deposit with MS&Co.
and MSIP for Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and
Spectrum Technical, and with MS&Co. for Spectrum Currency, to be used as margin
for trading; (B) net unrealized gains or losses on futures and forward
contracts, which are valued at fair value and calculated as the difference
between original contract value and fair value; and for Partnerships which
trade in options, (C) options purchased at fair value. Options written at fair
value are recorded in "Liabilities".
The Partnerships, in their normal course of business, enter into various
contracts with MS&Co. and MSIP acting as their commodity brokers. Pursuant to
brokerage agreements with MS&Co. and MSIP, 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.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SERIES
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The Partnerships have offset the fair value amounts recognized for forward
contracts executed with the same counterparty as allowable under the terms of
their master netting agreement with MS&Co., as the counterparty on such
contracts. The Partnerships have consistently applied their right to offset.
RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED CASH. As reflected on the Partnerships' Statements
of Financial Condition, restricted cash equals the cash portion of assets on
deposit to meet margin requirements plus the cash required to offset unrealized
losses on foreign currency forwards and options and offset losses on offset
London Metal Exchange positions. All of these amounts are maintained
separately. Cash that is not classified as restricted cash is therefore
classified as unrestricted cash.
BROKERAGE AND RELATED TRANSACTION FEES AND COSTS. The brokerage fees for
Spectrum Currency and Spectrum Global Balanced are currently 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.
Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic, and Spectrum
Technical are currently accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12 of 6.0% (a 6.0%
annual rate) of net assets as of the first day of each month.
Such brokerage fees currently cover all brokerage fees, transaction fees and
costs, and ordinary administrative and continuing offering expenses.
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 MS&Co. through the brokerage fees paid by the
Partnerships.
CONTINUING OFFERING. Units of each Partnership were 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 each month. No selling commissions or charges related to the continuing
offering of Units were paid by the limited partners or the Partnerships. MS&Co.
paid all such costs.
Effective December 1, 2008, the Partnerships no longer offer Units for
purchase or exchange.
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 first became a limited
partner. The Request for Redemption must be delivered to a limited partner's
local Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Branch Office in time for it to be forwarded
and received by Demeter no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
last day of the month in which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions
must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of 50 Units required for each
redemption, unless a limited partner is redeeming his entire interest in a
Partnership.

Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month from the date
of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset
Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the last day of
the twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth month
from the date of purchase will be subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of
the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the Redemption Date. Units redeemed after the
last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of purchase will not be
subject to a redemption charge. The foregoing redemption charges are paid to
MS&Co.
The aggregate amounts of redemption charges paid to MS&Co. for the years
ended December 31 2009, 2008, and 2007 were as follows:

EXCHANGES. On the last day of the first month which occurred more than six
months after a person first became a limited partner in any of the
Partnerships, and at the end of each month thereafter, limited partners were
able to exchange their Units among the Partnerships (subject to certain
restrictions outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) without paying
additional charges.
Effective December 1, 2008, the Partnerships no longer offer Units for
purchase or exchange.
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. Demeter does not intend to make any distributions of the
Partnerships' profits.
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 revenues
and expenses for income tax purposes. The Partnerships file U.S. federal and
state tax returns.

ASC 740-10-50-15, Income Taxes (which incorporates former Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 109 and FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Income Taxes), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in a Partnership's financial statements, and prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken.
The Partnerships have concluded there are no significant uncertain tax
positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of
December 31, 2009. If applicable, the Partnerships recognize interest accrued
related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other
expenses in the Statements of Operations. Generally, 2006 through 2009 tax
years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax
authorities.
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIPS. 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.
OTHER PRONOUNCEMENTS. On July 1, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, also known as FASB ASC 105-10, Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("ASC 105-10" or the "Codification"). ASC 105-10
established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in
financial statements except for Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. The Codification became the single source of authoritative
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
No. 2009-12 addressing Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, Topic ASC 820.
ASU No. 2009-12 amended Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain
entities that calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent. The
amendments in ASU No. 2009-12 permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting
entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of
the amendments in ASU No. 2009-12 on the basis of the net asset value per share
of the investment or its equivalent. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-12 requires
disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of the
investments within the scope of the amendments, such as the nature of any
restrictions on redemptions, any unfunded commitments and the investment
strategies of the investees. The amendments in ASU No. 2009-12 are effective
for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Management
believes that the adoption of ASU No. 2009-12 did not have a material impact on
the financial statements of the Partnerships.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SERIES
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The Partnerships adopted ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events (formerly, SFAS
No. 165, Subsequent Events), which was issued in May 2009, and ASU No. 2010-09,
Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements, which was issued in February 2010. ASC 855-10 establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. ASC 855-10 is
effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and ASU
No. 2010-09 is effective immediately. Management has performed its evaluation
of subsequent events and has determined that there were no subsequent events
requiring adjustment in the December 31, 2009 financial statements. The nature
of the subsequent events is disclosed in Note 11. Subsequent Events.
ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements (formerly, FASB Staff Position ("FSP")
SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly), was issued in April 2009. ASC 820-10-65
provides additional guidance for determining fair value and requires new
disclosures regarding the categories of fair value instruments, as well as the
inputs and valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value and any
changes to the inputs and valuation techniques during the period. ASC 820-10-65
is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships'
financial statements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about
Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require
entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in
their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such
items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies
existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of
disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair
value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3
fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Partnerships are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU No. 2010-06.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities (formerly, SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities). ASC 810-10 contains new criteria
for determining the primary beneficiary, and increases the frequency of
required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. ASC 810-10 also contains a new
requirement that any term, transaction, or arrangement that does not have a
substantive effect on an entity's status as a variable interest entity, a
company's power over a variable interest entity, or a company's obligation to
absorb losses or its right to receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded
in applying Interpretation 46(R)'s provisions. ASC 810-10 is applicable for
annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods
thereafter. Effective February 25, 2010, the FASB has decided to indefinitely
defer the application of ASC 810-10 for certain entities. Management believes
that the Partnerships meet the criteria for the indefinite deferral of the
application of ASC 810-10.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Partnerships trade Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent
contracts for delayed delivery 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 fair value of these
contracts, including interest rate volatility.
The fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based on the settlement price
quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being
determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on
such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange,
the settlement price shall be the settlement price on the first subsequent day
on which the contract could be liquidated. The fair value of
off-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair value quoted by the
counterparty.
The Partnerships' contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and
marked to market on a daily basis. Each Partnership accounts for its derivative
investments as required by ASC 815-10-15, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly,
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). A
derivative is defined 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, forward, swap or options contracts,
and other financial instruments with similar characteristics such as caps,
floors, and collars.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The Partnerships have credit risk associated with counterparty
nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk
associated with the instruments in which the Partnerships trade is limited to
the unrealized gain amounts reflected in the Partnerships' Statements of
Financial Condition.
The Partnerships also have credit risk because MS&Co., MSIP, and/or MSCG act
as the futures commission merchants or the counterparties, with respect to most
of the Partnerships' assets. Exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward,
and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts are marked to market on a
daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. MS&Co. and
MSIP, each acting as a commodity broker for each Partnership's exchange-traded
futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded 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, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded
futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net
unrealized gains (losses) on all open exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded
forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts, which funds, in
the aggregate, totaled at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, $20,005,982
and $32,204,152 for Spectrum Global Balanced, $472,748,655 and $637,596,962 for
Spectrum Select, $72,609,935 and $117,311,735 for Spectrum Strategic, and
$387,447,980 and $548,229,393 for Spectrum Technical. With respect to each
Partnership's off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts and forward
currency options contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in
value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized
gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, each Partnership is
required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open
forward currency contracts in the Partnership accounts with the counterparty,
which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody
account held at MS&Co. 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 such contracts, to perform. With respect to those
off-exchange-traded forward currency options contracts, the Partnerships are at
risk to the ability of MSCG, the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to
perform. Each Partnership has a netting agreement with each counterparty. These
agreements, which seek to reduce both the Partnerships' and the counterparties'
exposure on off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts, including options
on such contracts, should materially decrease the Partnerships' credit risk in
the event of MS&Co.'s or MSCG's bankruptcy or insolvency.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SERIES
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
The futures, forwards and options on such contracts traded by the
Partnerships 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, factors
that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnerships' open
positions, and consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized,
and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures,
exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled options contracts
are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on
off-exchange-traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of
the contract. Gains and losses on off-exchange-traded forward currency options
contracts are settled upon an agreed upon settlement date. However, the
Partnerships are required to meet margin requirements equal to the net
unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnerships'
accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of
the cash balance in a custody account held at MS&Co.

8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
ASC 815-10-65, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly, SFAS No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--an amendment of SFAS
No. 133, which was issued in March 2008), is intended to improve financial
reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how those
instruments and activities are accounted for; how and why they are used; and
their effects on a Partnership's financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. The Partnerships adopted ASC 815-10-65 as of January 1, 2009. The
adoption of ASC 815-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships'
financial statements, other than enhanced financial statements disclosures.
The Partnerships' objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures
Interests. Therefore, the trading advisor for each Partnership will take
speculative positions in Futures Interests where it feels the best profit
opportunities exist for its trading strategy. As such, the absolute quantity
(the total of the open long and open short positions) has been presented as a
part of the volume disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative
factor in such volume disclosures. In regards to foreign currency forward
trades, each notional quantity amount has been converted to an equivalent
contract based upon an industry convention.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
As defined by ASC 820-10-55, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly,
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements), fair value is the amount that would be
recovered when an asset is sold or an amount paid to transfer a liability, in
an ordinary transaction, between market participants at the measurement date
(exit price). Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors,
including the types of investments, the characteristics specific to the
investment, and the state of the market (including the existence and the
transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with
readily available actively quoted prices in an ordinary market will generally
have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of
judgment used in measuring fair value.
MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY SPECTRUM SERIES
(FORMERLY, MORGAN STANLEY SPECTRUM SERIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
ASC 820-10-55 requires use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1--unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
and liabilities; Level 2--inputs other than unadjusted quoted market prices
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
(including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk);
and Level 3--unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (including the
Partnerships' own assumptions used in determining the fair value of
investments).
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's
level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnerships' assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its
entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The Partnerships adopted ASC 820-10-55 as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of
ASC 820-10-55 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships' financial
statements, other than enhanced financial statements disclosures.
The following tables summarize the valuation of each Partnership's
investments according to the level of the above ASC 820-10-55 fair value
hierarchy as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:
