PART I

BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business

APM – QIM Futures Fund, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was organized as a Delaware limited partnership in June 2009 and commenced operations following an initial closing on October 1, 2009. The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged in speculative trading across a broad range of futures contracts and currencies. The Partnership may in the future trade options on futures contracts and forward contracts (together with futures contracts and currencies, “Commodity Interests”). The Partnership’s objective is to produce long-term capital appreciation through growth, and not current income. Under the Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”), Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. (d/b/a APM Funds), an Arkansas corporation (“APM Funds” or the “General Partner”), serves as general partner of the Partnership and has sole responsibility for management and administration of all aspects of the Partnership’s business. Investors purchasing limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) in the Partnership (“Limited Partners” and together with the General Partner, “Partners”) have no rights to participate in the management of the Partnership.

APM Funds, the General Partner of the Partnership, is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”), and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). In 2007, Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. began doing business as APM Funds. Quantitative Investment Management LLC, a Virginia limited liability company formed in May 2003, acts as the Partnership’s trading advisor (“QIM” or the “Advisor”). QIM became registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor (“CTA”) in 2004 and a CPO in 2005 and is a member of NFA.

Altegris Investments, Inc. (“Altegris”), an affiliate of the General Partner, acts both as the Partnership’s introducing broker (“Introducing Broker”) and as a selling agent. Altegris is registered with the CFTC as a CTA and an Introducing Broker and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a broker-dealer.

The Partnership’s term will end upon the first to occur of the following: receipt by the General Partner of an election to dissolve the Partnership at a specified time by Limited Partners owning more than 50% of the Interests then outstanding, notice of which is sent by registered mail to the General Partner not less than ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; withdrawal, admitted or court decreed insolvency or dissolution of the General Partner unless at such time there is at least one remaining General Partner in the Partnership; or any event that makes it unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to be continued or requiring termination of the Partnership.

The Partnership is not required to be, and is not, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

As of February 28, 2010, the aggregate net asset value of the Interests in the Partnership before redemptions was $41,508,728. The Partnership operates on a calendar fiscal year and has no subsidiaries.

The Partnership offers three “classes” of Interests: Class A, Class B and Institutional Interests (each, a “Class of Interest”). The Classes of Interests differ from each other only in the fees that they pay and the applicable investment minimums.

(b) Financial Information About Segments

The Partnership’s business constitutes only one segment for financial reporting purposes—i.e., a speculative “commodity pool.” The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Financial information regarding the Partnership’s business is set forth in the Partnership’s financial statements, included herewith.

Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc., an Arkansas corporation formed in 1985 as Rockwell Futures Management, Inc. (“Rockwell”), serves as general partner of the Partnership. It became a member of NFA in November 1985 and has been a CFTC registered CPO since December 1985. It was also registered as a CTA from

December 1985 until January 2002. It has also been registered with the State of California as an investment adviser since March 2004.

Quantitative Investment Management LLC is a Virginia limited liability company that serves as commodity trading advisor to the Partnership. QIM became registered as a CTA in 2004 and a CPO in 2005 and is a member of NFA.

Predictive Modeling. QIM believes that financial markets are not entirely efficient and that numerous small inefficiencies exist and can be exploited through the prudent use of robust analysis and predictive technologies.

QIM currently employs several thousand quantitative trading models that utilize pattern recognition to predict short-term price movements in global futures markets. All models are tested across large data sets that expose them to a wide range of market, economic, and political environments, as well as a wide range of time frames and interactions. Only those models that prove to be the most robust, statistically significant, and conceptually diverse are used in actual trading. The resultant system of models offers what QIM believes to be reliable signals that guide market timing and trade allocation.

QIM’s trading strategies and models may be revised from time to time as a result of ongoing research and development seeking to devise new strategies and systems as well as to improve current methods. The strategies and systems used by QIM in the future may differ significantly from those currently in use due to changes resulting from this research, and Limited Partners will not be informed of these changes as they may occur.

Risk Management. QIM applies risk management procedures that take into account the price, size, volatility, liquidity, and inter-relationships of the contracts traded. The Partnership’s positions are generally balanced in a manner that allocates approximately equal amounts of measured risk to as many distinct markets as possible and during significant drawdowns in equity, QIM will reduce market exposure by scaling back the Partnership’s overall leverage.

Trading. QIM’s trading is generally approximately 95% systematic and 5% discretionary. All facets of the predictive models, risk management, and trade allocation are fully automated or proceduralized. In this sense, the trading is systematic. Discretion of QIM, however, plays a significant role in the pursuit of improvements to the Program.

QIM has different time horizons for the execution of certain trades. For example, QIM may have certain trades executed at the beginning of the trading day while giving the executing broker limited discretion with respect to other trades.

Markets Traded. QIM currently trades or monitors the following markets, but may add or delete markets from this universe of tradable markets in its discretion if QIM’s research demonstrates that such an addition or deletion would enhance the program’s performance:

Currencies	Stock Indices	Interest Rates
Euro	E-Mini S&P 500 (USA)	US 10-Year Note
British Pound	E-Mini Nasdaq 100 (USA)	US 30-Year Bond
Japanese Yen	E-Mini Russell 2000 (USA)	US 2 Year Note
Australian Dollar	DAX (Germany)	US 5 Year Note
Canadian Dollar	DJ Euro Stoxx 50 (Europe)	Eurodollar
Mexican Peso	FTSE 100 (Great Britain)	Euro-Bund
Swiss Franc	Nikkei 225 (Japan)	Euribor
	KOSPI	Euro-Schatz
Energies	Hang Seng (Hong Kong)	Euro-Bobl
Globex Crude Oil	S&P ASX 200 (Australia)	Long Gilt
Brent Crude Oil	MSCI Taiwan	Short Sterling
London WTI Crude Oil	FTSE/JSE Top 40 (South Africa)	JGB
Natural Gas	CAC-40 (France)
Heating Oil	AEX (Netherlands)
Unleaded Gas	S&P/MIB (Italy)
GasOil	IBEX 35 (Spain)

Grains	Softs	Metals
Corn	Cocoa	Gold
Soybeans	Coffee	Silver
Wheat	Cotton	Copper
	Sugar

All markets are futures markets or interbank currency markets.

QIM seeks to profitably trade each of these markets while taking advantage of the diversification available from such a varied list of futures contracts. QIM’s trading program often takes opposing long and short positions within the same or related classes of correlated futures, which, taken in conjunction with the effect of diversification across a broad range of contracts, generally results in reduced market exposure than trading a single market with similar leverage.

A substantial portion of the equity in the Partnership’s account is invested in U.S. government and agency securities and other liquid, high-quality instruments at the direction of the Custodian (as defined below). QIM will target an average margin to equity level of between 5% and 20%. The actual percentage of assets committed to margin at any time may be higher or lower than the target level.

It is expected that between 5% and 20% of the Partnership’s assets generally will be held as initial margin or option premiums (in cash or U.S. Treasury Department (“Treasury”) securities) in the Partnership’s brokerage accounts at its clearing broker, Newedge USA, LLC (“Newedge USA”), a futures commission merchant (“FCM”), and available for trading by QIM in Commodity Interests on behalf of the Partnership. Interest on Partnership assets held at Newedge USA in cash or Treasury securities will be credited to the Partnership as described under “Charges.” Depending on market factors, the amount of margin or option premiums held at Newedge USA could change significantly, and all of the Partnership’s assets are available for use as margin. The Partnership may also retain other brokers and/or dealers from time to time to clear or execute a portion of Partnership trades made by QIM.

With respect to Partnership assets not held at Newedge USA as described above, but deposited with Wilmington Trust Company (the “Custodian”), the portion not held in checking, money market or other bank accounts (and used to pay Partnership operating expenses) will be invested in liquid, high-quality short-term securities at the direction of the Custodian or its sub-advisor, Wilmington Trust Investment Management, LLC, an affiliate of the Custodian that is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. The Partnership’s custody and investment management agreement with the Custodian permits the Custodian to invest in U.S. government and agency securities, other securities or instruments guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, CDs, time deposits, banker’s acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements — subject in each case to specific diversification, credit quality and maturity limitations. The Custodian may use sub-advisers to attempt to increase yield enhancement. The General Partner may direct that a portion of Partnership assets be deposited with other custodians and retain other sub-advisers for the purpose of attempting to increase yield enhancement via other cash management arrangements.

The percentage of the Partnership’s assets deposited with these firms is also subject to change in the General Partner’s sole discretion. The Partnership’s assets will not be commingled with the assets of any other person. Depositing the Partnership’s assets with banks or Newedge USA, or other clearing brokers, as segregated funds is not commingling for these purposes.

The Partnership pays all of its ongoing liabilities, expenses and costs, including the charges described in the chart below. Additional explanation of certain terms used in the chart below immediately follows it.

Entity	Form of Compensation	Amount of Compensation
APM Funds (General Partner)	Management fee	Class A Interests: 0.104% of the “management fee net asset value” (see certain terms and definitions below) of the month-end capital account balances of all Class A Interests (1.25% per annum). Class B Interests: 0.104% of the management fee net asset value of the month-end capital account balances of all Class B Interests (1.25% per annum). Institutional Interests: 0.0625% of the management fee net asset value of the month-end capital account balances of all Institutional Interests (0.75% per annum).
Various	Organizational and initial offering costs	Actual organizational and initial offering costs incurred are estimated to be $64,000. The Partnership will reimburse the General Partner for the organizational and initial offering costs advanced in monthly installments over a 60-month period, beginning with the thirteenth month the Partnership commences operations; provided that if the Partnership is liquidated prior to the General Partner being fully reimbursed, the General Partner, not the Partnership, shall bear the amount of the unreimbursed organizational and initial offering costs.
Altegris, as selling agent; other selling agents	Continuing compensation	Class A Interests: 0.166% of the “month-end net asset value” (see certain terms and definitions below) apportioned to each Class A Interest sold by selling agents (2% per annum). Institutional Interests (if applicable and as disclosed to the Institutional Interest investor): 0.0417% of the month-end net asset value apportioned to any Institutional Interest whose selling agent elects to receive continuing compensation (0.50% per annum).
Quantitative Investment Management LLC (QIM or the Advisor)	Incentive fee	30% of quarterly Trading Profits (see certain terms and definitions below) applicable to each Class of Interest will be paid at the end of each quarter by the Partnership to QIM. Trading Profits are calculated without regard to interest income and after reduction for brokerage charges and administrative and management fees, but without reduction for any other Partnership expenses.
Newedge USA (Clearing Broker); other clearing brokers	Brokerage commissions, transaction fees and interest income	Brokerage commission charges of $9.75 per round-turn for trades on both U.S. exchanges and most foreign exchanges. Brokerage commissions for certain contracts on some foreign exchanges may be substantially higher. Commission rates per round-turn charged by clearing brokers other than Newedge USA, if any, may differ and could be higher. Newedge USA may maintain Partnership assets on deposit with them in cash or Treasury securities and will credit the Partnership with the lesser of actual interest earned by the Partnership or 95% of the 30 day Treasury bill rate.
Altegris (Introducing Broker)	Brokerage charges, commissions, transaction fees and interest income	Monthly brokerage charges equal to the greater of (A) actual commissions of $9.75 per round-turn (higher for certain exchanges or commodities) multiplied by number of round-turn trades, which amount includes other transaction costs; or (B) an amount equal to 0.125% of the management fee net asset value of all Interest holders’ month-end capital account balances (1.50% annually). If actual monthly commissions and transaction costs in (A) above are less than the amount in (B) above, the Partnership will pay the difference to the Introducing Broker as payment for brokerage-related services. In any month when the amount in (A) is greater than the amount in (B) above, the Partnership pays only the amount described in (A) above. Also, Newedge USA will pay Altegris a portion of the brokerage commissions and transaction fees it receives from the Partnership. Newedge USA will also pay Altegris a portion of the interest income it receives on the Partnership’s assets on deposit with it.

Various service providers	Periodic operating expenses, fixed administrative fee, fees of the Custodian and its sub-advisor, and other expenses	The Partnership generally pays its operating expenses as they are incurred. However, during at least the first twelve months after the Partnership commences trading, the General Partner has agreed to limit the operating expenses paid by the Partnership to 1/12th of 0.5% of the month-end capital account balances of all Interests for such month (the “Operating Expense Cap”). To the extent that (A) such expenses are greater than the Operating Expense Cap for any month or (B) the Operating Expense Cap exceeds such expenses for any month, the excess expenses or remaining portion of the Operating Expense Cap will carry over to the following month(s) and be included in the calculation of the Operating Expense Cap for such month(s). In the event that the operating expenses during the first twelve months of trading operations exceed the Operating Expense Cap, such excess will be borne by the General Partner. A fixed administrative fee of 0.0275% of the management fee net asset value of the month-end capital account balance of all Class A and Class B Interests is payable to the General Partner to help defray the ongoing expenses of operating the Partnership (0.333% per annum).
	Extraordinary expenses	For example, indemnification expenses, litigation expenses and other non-recurring expenses. Due to the nature of these expenses, they are not subject to estimate.

“Capital account balance” means the net asset value attributable to each Partner’s capital account, consisting of initial and additional capital contributions, less withdrawals of capital and any distributions made to Partners, and other adjustments as set out in the Limited Partnership Agreement, including, but not limited to, adjustments for deductions of fees and expenses, and for net profits, net losses and tax allocations.

“Management fee net asset value” means the net asset value apportioned to each Partner’s capital account at the beginning of the month, before deduction for any accrued incentive fees related to the current quarter. Net asset value is to be determined on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, unless otherwise specified. Management fee net asset value will include the sum of all cash, U.S. Government obligations or other securities at market value, accrued interest receivable, and the current market value of all open Commodity Interest positions, as indicated by the settlement prices determined by the exchanges on which such positions are maintained.

“Month-end net asset value,” as used in the computation of selling agents’ continuing compensation, is calculated prior to any adjustment for subscriptions or redemptions effective for the end of the month.

“Trading Profits” (for purposes of calculating incentive fees paid by the Partnership to QIM only) during a calendar quarter means cumulative realized and change in unrealized profits and losses during the quarter which result from QIM’s trading (over and above the aggregate of previous period profits as of the end of any prior quarter) without regard to interest income and after reduction for brokerage charges, General Partner administrative and management fees.

“Incentive fees” payable to QIM on Trading Profits are accrued for purposes of calculating net asset value only. Incentive fees are calculated separately for each Limited Partner’s Interest. If Trading Profits for a quarter as to an Interest are negative, such losses shall constitute a “Carryforward Loss” for the beginning of the next quarter. No incentive fees are payable as to any Interest until future Trading Profits as to that Interest for the following quarters exceed any Carryforward Loss. Therefore, QIM will not receive an incentive fee unless it generates new Trading Profits for an Interest. An incentive fee will not be refunded by virtue of subsequent losses. If a Limited Partner makes a partial redemption from the Partnership when there is a Carryforward Loss with respect to its capital account, the amount of the Carryforward Loss for such Limited Partner will be reduced for future periods by the ratio obtained by dividing the amount of the redemption by such Limited Partner’s capital account prior to such

redemption. If all or some of a Limited Partner’s Interest is redeemed at any time other than on a calendar quarter-end, the effective date of such redemption will be treated as a calendar quarter-end for purposes of determining the amount of such incentive fee and the definition of Trading Profits, and the applicable incentive fee at such time will be charged to the redeeming Limited Partner in the proportion that the redeemed Interest bears to such Limited Partner’s total Interest immediately before the redemption.

Item 101(h)(4)(xi) is not applicable; the Partnership has no employees.

(h) Regulation

APM Funds is registered with the CFTC as a CPO and QIM is registered with the CFTC as a CPO and CTA. Both APM Funds and QIM are also members of NFA.

The CFTC has delegated to NFA responsibility for the registration of “commodity trading advisors,” “commodity pool operators,” “futures commission merchants,” “introducing brokers” and their respective associated persons and “floor brokers” and “floor traders.” The Commodity Exchange Act requires commodity pool operators such as APM Funds, commodity trading advisors such as QIM and commodity brokers or FCMs such as Newedge USA and introducing brokers such as Altegris to be registered and to comply with various reporting and record keeping requirements. CFTC regulations also require FCMs and certain introducing brokers to maintain a minimum level of net capital. In addition, the CFTC and certain commodities exchanges have established limits referred to as “speculative position limits” on the maximum net long or net short speculative positions that any person may hold or control in any particular futures or options contracts traded on U.S. commodities exchanges. All accounts owned or managed by QIM will be combined for position limit purposes. QIM could be required to liquidate positions held for the Partnership in order to comply with such limits. Any such liquidation could result in substantial costs to the Partnership. In addition, many futures exchanges impose limits beyond which the price of a futures contract may not trade during the course of a trading day, and there is a potential for a futures contract to hit its daily price limit for several days in a row, making it impossible for QIM to liquidate a position and thereby experiencing a dramatic loss. Currency forward contracts currently are not subject to regulation by any U.S. government agency.

ITEM 6: SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not required.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Reference is made to “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.

(a) Liquidity

The Partnership’s assets are generally held as cash or cash equivalents, which are used to margin the Partnership’s futures positions and are sold to pay redemptions and expenses as needed. Other than any potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, the Partnership’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so. Market-imposed limitations, when they occur, can be due to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Partnership’s futures trading. A portion of the Partnership’s assets not used for margin and held with the Custodian are invested in liquid, high quality securities. Through December 31, 2009 the Partnership experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the markets traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership.

(b) Capital Resources

The Partnership raises additional capital only through the sale of Interests and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income. The Partnership does not engage in borrowing.

The amount of capital raised for the Partnership should not have a significant impact on its operations, as the Partnership has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for capital to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and expenses. Within broad ranges of capitalization, the Partnership’s trading positions should increase or decrease in approximate proportion to the size of the Partnership.

The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts and may trade options on futures contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements. The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges. Further, the Partnership’s FCMs and brokers may require margin in excess of minimum exchange requirements.

All of the futures contracts currently traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership are exchange-traded. The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions because, in over-the-counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its trading counterparties, whereas exchange-traded contracts are generally, but not universally, backed by the collective credit of the members of the exchange. In the future, the Partnership anticipates that it will enter into non-exchange-traded foreign currency contracts and be subject to the credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance.

The Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by Newedge USA and/or other clearing brokers or counterparties with which the Partnership trades.

Performance Summary

The Partnership’s success depends primarily upon QIM’s ability to recognize and capitalize on market trends in the sectors of the global commodity futures markets in which it trades. The Partnership intends to produce long-term capital appreciation through growth, and not current income. The past performance of the Partnership is not necessarily indicative of future results.

2009

The Partnership commenced operations on October 7, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Partnership achieved net realized and unrealized losses of $895,208 from its trading of commodity futures contracts including brokerage commissions of $65,454. The Partnership accrued total expenses of $137,232, including $43,291 in management fees paid to the General Partner, and $83,792 in service and professional fees. The Partnership earned $16,661 in interest income during 2009. An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the fourth quarter of 2009 is set forth below.

Fourth Quarter 2009. The Partnership struggled through the end of October as major stock index futures sold off at month-end on the decline of equity markets. After a very strong run on the long side of the equity markets, the Partnership initiated short positions during the month, but the equity markets did not start heading south until the Partnership was once again bullish. Gold futures climbed to an all-time high and crude oil prices rose as the

U.S. Dollar weakened. The Partnership rebounded at the start of November as holdover equity positions, which had contributed to the prior month’s drawdown, rallied during the first week. At month-end, with the Partnership long, the Yen hit a 14-year high versus the U.S. Dollar. The metals and agricultural sectors also provided meaningful boosts to the Partnership. Gold made up the bulk of gains in metals while gains in agricultural commodities were more evenly distributed across corn, soybeans and wheat trading. The Partnership was down for the month of December, struggling through particularly difficult market conditions at the beginning of the month. The Partnership’s long positions in foreign currencies dropped as the U.S. Dollar reacted strongly to better than expected U.S. employment numbers. The Partnership’s interest rate trading also suffered as rates reacted strongly to the employment report. Interest rate futures contributed positively, but gold trading experienced losses.

(d) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Partnership does not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements with other entities.

(e) Contractual Obligations

Not required.

(f) Critical Accounting Estimates

APM Funds believes that the Partnership's most critical accounting estimates relate to the valuation of the Partnership's assets. Futures and options on futures contracts are valued using the primary exchange’s closing price. Forward currency contracts are stated at fair value using spot currency rates provided by Newedge USA, LLC and adjusted for interest rates and other typical adjustment factors. United States government agency securities are generally valued based on quoted prices in active markets. Corporate notes and repurchase agreements are generally valued at cost given their short duration from the time of purchase Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined using the identified cost method. 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 statement 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.

The Partnership’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of certain estimates made by the Partnership’s management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Based on the nature of the business and operations of the Partnership, the APM Funds believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Partnership’s financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, however actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates used do not provide a range of possible results that would require the exercise of subjective judgment. APM Funds further believes that, based on the nature of the business and operations of the Partnership, no other reasonable assumptions relating to the application of the Partnership’s critical accounting estimates other than those currently used would likely result in materially different amounts from those reported.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required.

ITEM 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Financial statements required by this item are included herewith following the Index to Financial Statements and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.

Because the Partnership is a Smaller Reporting Company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), the supplementary financial information required by Item 302 of Regulation S-K is not required.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of

APM-QIM Futures Fund, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition, including the condensed schedules of investments of APM-QIM Futures Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations and changes in partners' capital for the period of inception (October 7, 2009) through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes 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, as well as evaluation the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of APM-QIM Futures Fund, L.P. as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and changes in partners' capital for the year period of inception (October 7, 2009) through December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General Description of the Partnership

APM – QIM Futures Fund, L.P. (“Partnership”) was organized as a Delaware limited partnership in June 2009. The Partnership's general partner is Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. (d/b/a APM Funds) ("General Partner"). The Partnership speculatively trades commodity futures contracts, and may trade options on futures contracts, forward contracts and other commodity interests. The objective of the Partnership’s business is appreciation of its assets. It is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of commodity exchanges and Futures Commission Merchants (brokers) through which the Partnership trades.

Method of Reporting

The Partnership follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that the Partnership follows to ensure consistent reporting of the Partnership’s financial condition, results of operations, and changes in partners’ capital. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification referred to as “ASC”. The FASB finalized the ASC effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009.

Pursuant to the Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement to provide a statement of cash flows and has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and other highly liquid investments with financial institutions with maturity dates of 90 days or less.

Basis of Accounting

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined using the identified cost method. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations. Brokerage commissions and other

APM – QIM FUTURES FUND, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

_______________

NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basis of Accounting (continued)

trading fees are reflected as an adjustment to cost or proceeds at the time of the transaction. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Gains or losses on futures contracts and options on futures contracts are realized when contracts are liquidated. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price) are reflected in the statement of financial condition. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations. Brokerage commissions on futures and options on futures contracts include other trading fees and are charged to expense when contracts are opened.

Fair Value

The Partnership values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 - Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants and the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Partnership uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership.

Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and blockage discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Fair Value (continued)

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Partnership in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Partnership’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Partnership uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Partnership values futures and options on futures contracts of the closing price of the contracts primary exchange. The Partnership includes futures and options on futures contracts in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Forward currency contracts are valued at fair value using spot currency rates and adjusted for interest rates and other typical adjustment factors. The Partnership includes forward currency contracts in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value (continued)

The fair value of United States government bonds is generally based on quoted prices in active markets. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined based on a valuation model that uses inputs that include interest-rate yield curves, cross-currency-basis index spreads, and country credit spreads similar to the bond in terms of issue, maturity and seniority. United States government bonds are generally categorized in Levels 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads or credit default swap spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as of the bond. If the spread data does not reference the issuer, then data that references a comparable issuer is used. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on cash flow models with yield curves, bond, or single-name credit default swap spreads and recovery rates based on collateral values as key inputs. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The industry classifications included in the condensed schedule of investments represent the General Partner’s belief as to the most meaningful presentation of the classification of the Partnership’s investments.

The following table presents information about the Partnership’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Partnership’s functional currency is the United States dollar; however, it transacts 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 statement 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.

Capital Accounts and Allocation of Income and Losses

The Partnership accounts for subscriptions, allocations and redemptions on a per partner capital account basis.

The Partnership consists of the General Partner’s Interest, Special Interests, Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests. Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests were first issued by the Partnership on October 1, 2009. Income or loss (prior to management fees, administrative fees, service fees and incentive fees) are allocated pro rata among the partners based on their respective capital accounts as of the end of each month in which the items accrue pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Special Interests, Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests are then charged with their applicable management fee, administrative fee, service fee and incentive fee in accordance with the Agreement.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal income taxes; each partner reports his allocable share of income, gain, loss, deductions or credits on his own income tax return.

The Partnership classifies interest and penalties, if any, as interest expense. The Partnership files U.S. federal and state tax returns. The 2009 tax year remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Financial Derivative Instruments

The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts for the purpose of achieving capital appreciation. None of the Partnership’s derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, as defined in the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the ASC, nor are they used for other risk management purposes. The Advisor and General Partner actively assess, manage and monitor risk exposure on derivatives on a contract basis, a sector basis (e.g., interest rate derivatives, agricultural derivatives, etc.), and on an overall basis in accordance with established risk parameters. Due to the speculative nature of the Partnership’s derivative trading activity, the Partnership is subject to the risk of substantial losses from derivatives trading.

The following presents the fair value of derivative contracts at December 31, 2009. The fair value of derivative contracts is presented as an asset if in a gain position and a liability if in a loss position. Fair value is presented on a gross basis in the table below even though the derivative contracts qualify for net presentation in the statement of financial condition.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Partnership adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification on December 31, 2009. FASB ASC is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP but combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. Effective with the Codification launch on July 1, 2009 only one level of authoritative GAAP will exist, other than guidance issued by the SEC. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification impacted the Partnership’s financial statement disclosures by eliminating prior FASB references since all references to authoritative accounting literature will be references made in accordance with the Codification.

NOTE 2 - AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED)

Operating Expenses

During the first twelve months after the Partnership commences trading, the General Partner has agreed to limit the operating expenses paid by the Partnership (excluding the fixed administrative fee paid by Class A and B Interests) to 0.50% of the average month-end capital account balances of all Interests for such twelve month period (the Operating Expense Cap). In the event the operating expenses during the first 12 months of trading exceed the Operating Expense Cap, such excess will be borne by the General Partner.

Service Fees

Class A Interests pay selling agents an ongoing payment of 0.166% of the month-end net asset value (2% annually) of the value of interests sold by them which are outstanding at month end as compensation for their continuing services to the limited partners.

If the selling agent so elects, the Partnership will charge an ongoing payment of 0.0417% (0.50% annually) of the value of Institutional Interests sold by them which are outstanding at month end as compensation for their continuing services to the limited partners.

Related Party

Altegris Investments, Inc. (“Altegris”), an affiliate of the General Partner, is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and an independent introducing broker registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Altegris has entered into a selling agreement with the Partnership whereby it receives 2% per annum as continuing compensation for Class A Interests sold by Altegris that are outstanding at month end. Altegris, as the Partnership’s introducing broker, also receives a portion of the commodity brokerage commissions paid by the Partnership to the Clearing Broker and interest income retained by the Clearing Broker. For the period October 7, 2009 (inception of trading) to December 31, 2009, commissions and continuing compensation received by Altegris amounted to $76,988.

The Partnership pays to its clearing brokers and Altegris, at a minimum, brokerage charges at a monthly flat rate of 0.125% (1.5% annually) of the Partnership’s management fee net asset value (as defined). Brokerage charges may exceed the flat rate described above, depending on commission and trading volume levels, which may vary.

Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions

Investments in the Partnership are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by the General Partner.

The Partnership is not required to make distributions, but may do so at the sole discretion of the General Partner. A Limited Partner may request and receive redemption of capital, subject to restrictions in the Agreement. The General Partner may request and receive redemption of capital, subject to the same terms as any Limited Partner.

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS

AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements. The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges. Further, the Clearing Broker has the right to require margin in excess of the minimum exchange requirement. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) and the potential inability of brokers to perform under the terms of their contracts (credit risk).

All of the contracts currently traded by the Partnership are exchange traded. The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over the counter transactions since, in over the counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of their respective individual counterparties. However if, in the future, the Partnership were to enter into non-exchange traded contracts, it would be subject to the credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance. The credit risk from counterparty non-performance associated with such instruments is the net unrealized gain, if any.

The Partnership also has credit risk since the sole counterparty to all domestic futures contracts is the exchange clearing corporation. In addition, the Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by the Clearing Broker.

The Partnership's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of financial, position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures. In addition, the Partnership has a policy of reviewing the credit standing of each clearing broker or counterparty with which it conducts business.

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS

AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)

The Partnership has cash deposited with Wilmington Trust Company (“Custodian”). For cash not held with the Clearing Broker, the Partnership receives cash management services from an affiliate of the Custodian, Wilmington Trust Investment Management (“WTIM”). The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with WTIM in U.S. Government agency bonds and notes and corporate notes. Risks arise from investments in bonds and notes due to possible illiquidity and the potential for default by the issuer or counterparty. Such instruments are also sensitive to changes in interest rates and economic conditions.

NOTE 4 - INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership that have not yet occurred. The Partnership expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these balance sheets based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheets are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes 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, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the balance sheets referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Arkansas on December 2, 1985, and is registered as an investment adviser with the state of California and as a commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. As the general partner, the managing member, sponsor and/or commodity pool operator for investment funds who engage in the speculative trading of equities, commodity futures, mutual funds and securities, the Company maintains all related books and records. In addition, the Company receives fees from related entities for consulting and administrative services. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Altegris Capital, L.L.C. (the “Parent”).

Valuation of Investments

The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 - Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). With ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and blockage discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Valuation of Investments (concluded)

that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in investment funds are typically valued utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying investment funds and/or their administrators. Company management considers subscription and redemption rights, including any restrictions on the disposition of the interest in its determination of fair value. Investments in investment funds are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Furniture, Equipment and Software

Furniture, equipment and software is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives of three to seven years.

Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated income tax return of the Parent. As such, it has elected to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, taxable income or loss of the Company will be allocated to its shareholders, who are responsible for the payment of the taxes thereon.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the balance sheets are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company receives management, sponsor and administrative fees from affiliated partnerships and other entities as discussed in Note 2. These fees accrue under the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements or other operating agreements, as applicable. The Company receives these fees as computed based on the net assets of the respective partnerships.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value or contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based on relative market information and information about the financial instrument, specifically, the value of the underlying financial instrument. Assets that are recorded at fair value consist largely of short-term receivables, and other current assets, which are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Similarly, the Company’s liabilities consist of payables and accrued expenses recorded at contracted amounts that approximate fair value.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED ENTITIES AND RECEIVABLES

The Company serves as the general partner, managing member, sponsor and/or commodity pool operator, as applicable for various affiliated investment funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Company receives management, sponsor and administrative fees as compensation for services provided for and on behalf of the Funds.

The Company has advanced offering and organizational expenses for certain of the Funds. The Company is reimbursed if sufficient interests are sold during the offering period and the Fund commences operations. In addition, the Company pays all general operating expenses on behalf of the Funds and is reimbursed on a monthly basis.
