 MANAGED FUTURES PROFILE LV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

The unaudited financial statements contained herein include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations of Managed Futures Profile LV, L.P. (“Profile LV” or the “Partnership”).  The financial statements and condensed notes herein should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

1.  Organization
Managed Futures Profile  LV, L.P. was formed on February 22, 2007, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as a multi-advisor commodity pool created to profit from the speculative trading of domestic and foreign futures contracts, forward contracts, foreign exchange commitments, options on physical commodities and futures contracts, spot (cash) commodities and currencies, exchange of futures contracts on physicals transactions and futures contracts transactions, and any rights pertaining thereto (collectively, “Futures Interests”) (refer to Note 4. Financial Instruments of the Trading Companies) through its investments in affiliated trading companies (each a “Trading Company”, or collectively the “Trading Companies”).  Profile LV is one of the partnerships in the Managed Futures Multi-Strategy Profile Series, comprised of Profile LV, Managed Futures Profile MV, L.P., and Managed Futures Profile HV, L.P. (collectively, the “Profile Series”).

MANAGED FUTURES PROFILE LV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Partnership allocates substantially all of its assets to multiple affiliated Trading Companies, each of which allocates substantially all of its assets to the trading program of an unaffiliated commodity trading advisor which makes investment decisions for each respective Trading Company.

The Partnership commenced trading operations on August 1, 2007, in accordance with the terms of its Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”).  The non-clearing commodity broker for each Trading Company is Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”).  Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS&Co.”) acts as each Trading Company’s clearing commodity broker, except that Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Kaiser I, LLC (“Kaiser I, LLC”) uses Newedge USA, LLC (“Newedge”).  Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”) acts as each Trading Company’s commodity broker to the extent it trades on the London Metal Exchange (except for Kaiser I, LLC, which uses Newedge) (collectively, MS&Co., MSIP, and Newedge are referred to as the “Commodity Brokers”).  Each Trading Company’s over-the-counter foreign exchange spot, options, and forward contract counterparty is either MS&Co. and/or Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) to the extent a Trading Company trades options on over-the-counter foreign currency forward contracts (except that Newedge serves in such capacity with respect to Kaiser I, LLC).

The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared using the “Fund of Funds” approach and accordingly all revenue and expense information from the Trading Companies is reflected as a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Income and Expenses.  The

MANAGED FUTURES PROFILE LV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


Units of limited partnership interest (“Units”) of the Partnership are being offered in four share classes in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Depending on the aggregate amount invested in the Partnership, limited partners receive class A, B, C or D Units in the Partnership  (each a “Class” and collectively the “Classes”).  Certain limited partners who are not subject to the ongoing placement agent fee are deemed to hold Class Z Units.  Ceres received Class Z Units with respect to its investment in the Partnership.

Ceres is not required to maintain any investment in the Partnership, and may withdraw any portion of its interest in the Partnership at any time, as permitted by the Limited Partnership Agreement.  In addition, Class Z shares are only being offered to certain individuals affiliated with Morgan Stanley at Ceres’ sole discretion.  Class Z Unit holders are not subject to paying the ongoing placement agent fee.

2.  Related Party Transactions
The cash held by each Trading Company is on deposit with MSSB, MS&Co., and MSIP in futures interest trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.  MSSB pays each Trading Company at each month end interest income on 100% of its average daily funds held at MSSB.  Assets deposited with MS&Co. and MSIP as margin are credited with interest income at a rate approximately equivalent to what MS&Co. and MSIP pay or charge other customers on such assets deposited as margin.  Assets not deposited as margin with MS&Co. and MSIP are credited with interest income at a rate equal to the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate less 0.15% during such month but in no event less than zero.  For purposes of such interest

4.  Financial Instruments of the Trading Companies
The Trading Advisors trade Futures Interests on behalf of the Trading Companies.  Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price.  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 gain and loss is reflected in the net change in unrealized trading profit (loss) on open contracts from one period to the next on the Statements of Income and Expenses.  The fair value of exchange-traded futures, options and forward 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 from various exchanges.  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.  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 inputs, 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.  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.


- 10 -
 
 
 

 
MANAGED FUTURES PROFILE LV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



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 will be equal to the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated.  The fair value of non-exchange-traded contracts is based on the fair value quoted by the counterparty.




The Trading Companies’ contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis. A derivative is defined as a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics:

1)  
a) One or more “underlyings” and b) one or more “notional amounts” or payment provisions or both;
2)  
Requires no initial net investment or a smaller initial net investment than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response relative to changes in market factors; and
3)  
Terms that require or permit net settlement.

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

The futures, forwards and options traded by the Trading Advisors on behalf of the Trading Companies 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 Trading Companies’ open positions, and consequently in their 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 Trading Companies are required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Trading Companies’ accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MSSB for the benefit of MS&Co.

5.  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Financial instruments are carried at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following 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 unadjusted quoted market prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk); and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (including the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and consideration of the factors specific to the investment.

The Partnership’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following tables by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements.

The Partnership’s assets identified as “Investments in Affiliated Trading Companies” reflected on the Statements of Financial Condition represents the net asset value of the Partnership’s pro rata share of each Trading Company.  The net assets of each Trading Company is equal to the total assets of the Trading Company (including, but not limited to all cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and amortization of original issue discount, and the fair value of all open Futures Interests contract positions and other assets) less all liabilities of the Trading Company (including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions that would be payable upon the closing of open Futures Interest positions, management fees, incentive fees, and extraordinary expenses), determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

At March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s investment in the Trading Companies represented approximately: Rotella I, LLC 15.10%; Kaiser I, LLC 24.20%; TT II, LLC 23.10%; DKR I, LLC 15.70%; Chesapeake I, LLC 7.45%; Augustus I, LLC 9.60% and GLC I, LLC 8.45% of Profile LV’s Partners’ Capital, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)


6.  Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as limited partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of the Partnership’s revenues or expenses for income tax purposes.  The Partnership files U.S. federal and state tax returns.

The guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on income taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the 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 Partnership has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of March 31, 2011.  If applicable, the Partnership recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statements of Income and Expenses.  Generally, the 2007 through 2010 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.  No income tax returns are currently under examination.


7.  Subsequent Events

Management of Ceres performed its evaluation of subsequent events through the date of filing, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment of or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity.  MS&Co. and its affiliates act as custodians of each Trading Company’s assets pursuant to customer agreements and foreign exchange customer agreement.  The Partnership allocates substantially all of its assets to multiple Trading Companies. Such assets are deposited in the Trading Companies’ trading accounts with MS&Co. or its affiliates.  The funds in such accounts are available for margin and are used to engage in Futures Interest trading pursuant to instructions provided by the Trading Advisors.  The assets are held in either non-interest bearing bank accounts or in securities and instruments permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for investment of customer segregated or secured funds.  Since the Partnership’s sole purpose is to trade Futures Interests indirectly through the investment in the Trading Companies, it is expected that the Trading Companies will continue to own such liquid assets for margin purposes.

The Trading Companies’ investment in Futures Interests may, from time to time, be illiquid.  Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits”.  Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.  If the price for a particular futures or options contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or options contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit.  Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading.  These market conditions could prevent the Trading Companies from promptly liquidating their futures or options contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.



- 17 -

 
 

 

There is no limitation on daily price moves in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies.  The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Trading Companies from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Trading Companies from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting them to substantial losses.  Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions.  For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership’s assets.

There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

Capital Resources.  The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.  Redemptions, exchanges, and sales of Units in the future will affect the amount of funds available for investments in Futures Interests in subsequent periods.  It is not possible to estimate the amount, and therefore the impact, of future inflows and outflows of Units.

There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes to the Partnership’s capital resource arrangements at the present time.

Results of Operations
General.  The Partnership’s results depend on the Trading Advisors and the ability of each Trading Advisor’s trading program to take advantage of price movements in the futures, forward and options markets.  The following presents a summary of the Partnership’s operations for the three month periods ended

- 18 -

 
 

 

March 31, 2011 and 2010, and a general discussion of its trading activities during each period.  It is important to note, however, that the Trading Advisors trade in various markets at different times and that prior activity in a particular market does not mean that such market will be actively traded by the Trading Advisors or will be profitable in the future.  Consequently, the results of operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss other than in the context of the Trading Advisors’ trading activities on behalf of the Partnership during the period in question.  Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Partnership’s results of operations set forth in the financial statements on pages 2 through 16 of this report are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of certain accounting policies that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements, including the following:  the contracts the Trading Companies trade are accounted for on a trade-date basis and marked to market on a daily basis.  The difference between their original contract value and fair value is recorded on the Statements of Income and Expenses as “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” for open contracts, and recorded as “Realized trading gain (loss)” when open positions are closed out.  The sum of these amounts constitutes the Trading Company’s trading results.  The fair value of a futures contract is the settlement price on the exchange on which that futures contract is traded on a particular day.  The value of a foreign currency forward contract is based on the spot rate as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) the close of the business day.

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
The Partnership recorded total realized/net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $(504,302) and expenses totaling $540,204, resulting in a net loss of $1,044,506 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit by share Class is provided in the table below.

The most significant trading losses were incurred within the global interest rate sector throughout a majority of the quarter. During January, long positions in U.S. and European fixed-income futures resulted in losses as prices fell amid optimism regarding the containment of Europe’s debt crisis. In February, short positions in short-term U.S. fixed-income futures recorded losses as prices increased amid concern over unrest in the Middle East, which spurred demand for the relative “safety” of government debt. Additional losses were experienced in March due to long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures as prices fell on speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve may withdraw monetary stimulus as the U.S. economy shows signs of a sustained recovery. Within the currency markets, losses were recorded primarily during January from long positions in the Australian dollar, Japanese yen, and South African rand versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these currencies declined against the U.S. dollar following the release of minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting that showed optimism about the U.S. economy.

A portion of the Partnership’s losses for the quarter was offset by gains achieved within the energy markets throughout the majority of the quarter from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices rose amid an escalation in political instability in the Middle East and North Africa, prompting concerns that crude supplies may be disrupted. Within the metals complex, gains were recorded primarily during February from long futures positions in silver and gold as prices of silver futures extended a rally to a 30-year high and prices of gold futures approached an all-time high amid mounting unrest in the Middle East, which spurred

- 20 -
 
 
 

 
“safe-haven” demand for precious metals. Gains were experienced within the global stock index markets, primarily during February, from long positions in U.S. equity index futures as prices were supported higher throughout the first half of the month amid positive economic reports, including faster-than-expected global growth, a rebound in U.S. retail sales, and strong corporate earnings reports. Lastly, smaller gains were contributed within the agricultural complex, primarily during January, due to long positions in corn futures as prices rose to the highest levels since July 2008 after the U.S. government lowered forecasts for domestic inventories as adverse weather slashed harvests.

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2010
The Partnership recorded total realized/net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $1,251,785   and expenses totaling $564,255, resulting in net income of $687,530 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The Partnership’s net asset value per Unit by share Class is provided in the table below.

The most significant trading gains of approximately 1.5% were achieved within the currency sector, primarily during February and March, from long positions in the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these currencies moved higher against the U.S. dollar after signs of a global economic recovery caused investors to increase their risk appetite for higher-yielding currencies.  The value of the Canadian dollar also rose relative to the U.S. dollar after Canadian government data showed real Gross Domestic Product increased 0.6% in December.  Additional gains were experienced from short positions in

- 21 -
 
 
 

 
the euro and British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these currencies decreased relative to the U.S. dollar during February amid concerns that Greece’s fiscal struggles might begin to spread to other European nations.  In the global interest rate sector, gains of approximately 1.0% were recorded primarily during January and February from long positions in European and U.S. fixed-income futures. In January, prices increased on concerns that lending restrictions in China and possible reductions in U.S. stimulus measures might stifle the global economic rebound, thereby boosting demand for the relative “safety” of government bonds.  Prices were then pressured higher during February due to the aforementioned worries regarding Greece’s mounting debt burden.  Within the metals markets, gains of approximately 0.6% were achieved primarily during February and March from long futures positions in copper, nickel, aluminum, and zinc as prices rose after China indicated it might boost state reserves of base metals this year.  Furthermore, prices climbed towards the end of March after declining stockpiles boosted investor confidence in global demand for base metals.  Additional gains of approximately 0.4% were experienced in the energy sector, primarily during March, from short positions in natural gas futures as prices fell due to a rising rig count and forecasts for mild weather, which might reduce demand.  A portion of the Partnership’s gains for the quarter was offset by losses of approximately 0.9% incurred within the agricultural markets, primarily during February and March, from long futures positions in sugar as prices dropped amid easing supply concerns following news that production might rise in Brazil, India, and Thailand, three of the world’s largest sugar producers.  Smaller losses were recorded from long futures positions in the soybean complex as prices declined during February after rains improved the yield potential of crops in Brazil and Argentina, two of the world’s largest growers and exporters of soybeans.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Introduction
All of the Partnership’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss through its investments in the Trading Companies, each of which invests substantially all of its assets in the trading program of an unaffiliated Trading Advisor. The market-sensitive instruments held by the Trading Companies are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and substantially all of the respective Trading Companies’ assets are subject to the risk of trading loss.  Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Trading Companies’ main line of business.

The futures, forwards and options traded by the Trading Companies 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.  These factors result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Trading Companies’ open positions, and consequently in their 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 and forward currency options contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.  However, the Trading Companies are required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Trading Companies’ accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MSSB for the benefit of MS&Co.



- 23 -
 
 
 

 
The total market risk of the respective Trading Companies may increase or decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the diversification among the Trading Companies’ open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets.

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Trading Companies is typically many times the applicable margin requirements.  Margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value.  Additionally, the use of leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the Trading Companies typically to be many times the total capitalization of the Trading Companies.

The Partnership’s and the Trading Companies’ past performance are no guarantee of their future results.  Any attempt to numerically quantify the Trading Companies’ market risk is limited by the uncertainty of their speculative trading.  The Trading Companies’ speculative trading and use of leverage may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., “risk of ruin”) that far exceed the Trading Companies’ experiences to date disclosed under the “Trading Companies’ Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors” section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk (“VaR”) tables disclosed below.

Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment.

Quantifying the Trading Companies’ Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Trading Companies’ market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are

- 24 -
 
 
 

 
deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.

The Trading Companies account for open positions on the basis of mark to market accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the Trading Companies’ open positions is directly reflected in the Trading Companies’ earnings and cash flow.

The Trading Companies’ risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of VaR.  VaR for a particular market sector is estimated by Ceres using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 99%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.  The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risks including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables.  The hypothetical daily changes in the value of a Trading Company’s portfolio are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors (“market risk factors”) to which the portfolio is sensitive. The one-day 99% confidence level of the Trading Companies’ VaR corresponds to the reliability of the expectations that the Trading Company’s trading losses in one day will not exceed the maximum loss indicated by the VaR.  The 99% one-day confidence level is not an indication of probability of such losses, nor does VaR typically represent the worst case outcome. Ceres uses approximately four years of daily market data and re-values its portfolio for each of the historical market moves that occurred over this period. This enables Ceres to generate a distribution of daily “simulated profit and loss” outcomes.
 
 


- 25 -
 
 
 

 
The Trading Companies’ VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and do not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments.  They are also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.
 
VaR models, including the models used by Morgan Stanley and Ceres, are continually evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model is used to quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Ceres or the Trading Advisors in their daily risk management activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other entities.

The Trading Companies’ Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors

The VaR for a market category represents the one-day downside risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this market category.  The Aggregate Value at Risk listed above represents the VaR of the respective Trading Companies’ open positions across all the market categories, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market categories due to the diversification benefit across asset classes.

Because the business of the Trading Companies is the speculative trading of futures, forwards and options, the composition of their trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day.  Such changes could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

The tables below supplement the quarter-end VaR set forth above by presenting the Trading Companies’ high, low, and average VaR, as a percentage of total net assets for the four quarter-end reporting periods from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 and from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, respectively.

Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
VaR models permit estimation of a portfolio’s aggregate market risk exposure, incorporating a range of varied market risks, reflect risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging activities, and can cover a wide range of portfolio assets.  However, VaR risk measures should be viewed in light of the methodology’s limitations, which include, but may not be limited to the following:
·  
past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements;
·  
changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model;
·  
VaR results reflect past market fluctuations applied to current  trading positions while future risk depends on future positions;
·  
VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and
·  
the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.

In addition, the VaR tables above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership and the Trading Companies, give no indication of the Partnership’s potential “risk of ruin.”

- 33 -
 
 
 

 
The VaR tables provided present the results of the Partnership’s VaR for each of the Trading Companies’ market risk exposures and on an aggregate basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and for the four quarter-end reporting periods from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 and from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, respectively.

VaR is not necessarily representative of the Trading Companies’ historic risk, nor should it be used to predict the Partnership or the Trading Companies’ future financial performance or their ability to manage or monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the Trading Companies’ actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated above or that such losses will not occur more than once in 100 trading days.

Non-Trading Risk
The Trading Companies have non-trading market risk on their foreign cash balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market risk they may represent are immaterial.

The Trading Companies also maintain a substantial portion of their available assets in cash at MSSB; as of March 31, 2011, such amount was equal to:
·  
approximately 97% of Kaiser I, LLC’s net assets.
·  
approximately 87% of TT II, LLC’s net assets.
·  
approximately 88% of DKR I, LLC’s net assets.
·  
approximately 90% of Rotella I, LLC’s net assets.
·  
approximately 96% of Augustus I, LLC’s net assets.
·  
approximately 96% of GLC I, LLC’s net assets.
·  
approximately 81% of Chesapeake I, LLC’s net assets.
- 34 -
 
 
 

 
A decline in short-term interest rates would result in a decline in the Trading Companies’ cash management income.  This cash flow risk is not considered to be material.

Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage, optionality, and multiplier features of the Trading Companies’ market-sensitive instruments, in relation to the Trading Companies’ net assets.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures – except for (A) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures – constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures, as well as the strategies used and to be used by Ceres and the Trading Advisors for managing such exposures, are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies.  Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation, and many other factors could result in material losses, as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership.

Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.

Item 4.               CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of Ceres, at the time this quarterly report was filed, Ceres’ President (Ceres’ principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Ceres’ principal financial officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011.  The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information the Partnership is required to disclose in the reports that the Partnership files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed and summarized and reported within   the time period specified in the applicable rules and forms.  Based on this evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Ceres have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Partnership were effective at March 31, 2011.

 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes during the period covered by this quarterly report in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting .











- 36 -
 
 
 

 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met.  Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
