Part 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.  Financial Statements.


The reviewed financial statements for the Registrant for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are attached hereto at page F-1 and made a part hereof.


Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


General Information  


The Fund suspended trading on January 10, 2005.  All but the General Partner and one limited partner who are affiliated with the General Partner redeemed their Units.  The Fund terminated the commodity trading advisor with the view that a new trading advisor would be selected and the fund would reopen for new investment.  At some time in the future, Registrant will, pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, engage in the business of speculative and high risk trading of commodity futures and options markets through the services of one or more commodity trading advisors its management selects.    No sales were made since the suspension of trading as of the date of this Report.  


Description of Fund Business


The Fund grants one or more commodity trading advisors (“CTA”) a power of attorney that is terminable at the will of either party to trade the equity assigned to each CTA by Fund management.  From November 1, 2003 to January 10, 2005, Fall River Capital Management, Inc. was the sole commodity trading advisor of the Fund.  The commodity trading advisors have discretion to select the trades and do not disclose the methods they use to make those determinations in their disclosure documents or to the Fund or to Fund management.  There is no promise or expectation of a fixed return to the partners.  The partners must look solely to trading profits for a return their investment as the interest income is expected to be less than the fixed expenses to operate the Fund.


Assets


The Fund assets consist of cash used as margin to secure futures (formerly called commodities) trades entered on its behalf by the commodity trading advisors it selects.  The Fund deposits its cash with one or more futures commission merchants (brokers) that hold and allocate the cash to use as margin to secure the trades made.  The futures held in the Fund accounts are valued at the market price on the close of business each day by the Futures Commission Merchant or Merchants that hold the Fund equity made available for trading.  The Capital accounts of the Partners are immediately responsible for all profit and losses incurred by trading and payment and accrual of the expenses of offering partnership interests for sale and the operation of the partnership.  


The Fund has not in the past and does not intend in the future to borrow from third parties.  Its trades are entered pursuant to a margin agreement with the futures commission merchant which obligates the fund to the actual loss, if any, without reference or limit by the amount of cash posted to secure the trade.  The limited partners are not personally liable for the debts of the Fund, including any trading losses.  At some time in the future, the Partnership will file another S-1 registration statement and sell its securities.  By a previous registration statement, the Partnership sold $2,525,062 of its securities, which have been redeemed by the non-affiliated limited partners and will not be resold.     


The Fund has filed an application to register $20,000,000 in securities on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission at file number 333-177268. Upon effectiveness and sale of the $1,000,000 minimum, the Fund will commence trading via an independent commodity trading advisor and operate pursuant to the business terms described in the prospectus contained in the S-1 filing.


An Investment in the Fund Depends upon Redemption of Fund Units


The Fund Units are not traded and they have no market value.  Liquidity of an investment in the Fund depends upon the credit worthiness of the exchanges, brokers, and third parties of off exchange traded futures that hold Fund equity or have a lien against Fund assets for payment of debts incurred.  Those parties must honor their obligations to the Fund for the Fund to be able to obtain the return of its cash from the futures commission merchant that holds the Fund account.  


The commodity trading advisor selects the markets and the off exchange instruments to be traded.  The General Partner selects the futures commission merchants to hold the Fund assets.  Both the commodity trading advisor and the general partner believe all parties who hold Fund assets or are otherwise obligated to pay value to the Fund are credit worthy.  Margin is an amount to secure the entry of a trade and is not a limit of the profit or loss to be gained from the trade.  The general partner intends to allocate approximately 97% or more of the Fund equity to be used as margin to enter trades.  Although it is customary for the commodity trading advisors to use 40% or less of the equity available as margin, there is no limit imposed by the Fund upon the amount of equity the advisors may commit to margin.  It is possible for the Fund to suffer losses in excess of the margin it posts to secure the trades made.   


To have the purchase price or appreciation, if any, of the Units, paid to them, partners must use the redemption feature of the Partnership.  Distributions, although possible in the sole discretion of the general partner, are not expected to be made.  There is no current market for the Units sold, none is expected to develop and the partnership agreement limits the ability of a limited partner to transfer the Units.  


Results of Operations


The initial start-up costs attendant to the sale of Units by use of a Prospectus which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are substantial.  The Limited Partnership Agreement grants solely to the General Partner the right to select the CTA and to otherwise manage the operation of the Fund.  See the Registration Statement, incorporated by reference herein, for an explanation of the operation of the Fund.


The General Partner suspended trading on January 10, 2005, and all but one limited partner who is affiliated with the General Partner has redeemed its Units. Accordingly, the Fund was not operational subsequently.


The Fund is subject to ongoing offering and operating expenses; however, upon the commencement of business, profits or losses will be primarily generated by the commodity trading advisors by methods that are proprietary to them. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund experienced (losses) of $(8,792) [$(3,421.05) per Unit] and $(6,739) [$(2,622.28) per Unit] for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.  Similarly, the Fund experienced (losses) of $(23,066) [$(8,951.62) per Unit] and $(18,722) [$(7,285.12)] for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.  The variation in losses over the periods was primarily due to legal and accounting costs related to the qualification of the Fund's new S-1 Registration Statement. These results are not to be construed as an expectation of similar profits or losses in the future.


The Fund has not paid any commissions or earned any interest income since the General Partner suspended trading on January 10, 2005. The Fund did not have any additions or withdrawals in the periods covered by this Report.


Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


The business of the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss.  See the Fund’s Registration Statement and prospectus contained therein, incorporated herein, for a full description of the risks attendant to Fund business.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Registrant has adopted procedures in connection with the operation of its business including, but not limited to, the review of account statements sent to the General Partner before the open of business each day that disclose the positions held overnight in the Fund accounts, the margin to hold those positions, and the amount of profit or loss on each position, and the net balance of equity available in each account.  The Fund brokerage account statements and financial books and records accounts are prepared by an independent CPA Firm and then are reviewed each quarter and audited each year by a different independent CPA firm.    


The General Partner of the Fund, under the actions of its sole principal, Michael Pacult, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Fund as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on their evaluation, Mr. Pacult has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Fund.


Part II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


There have been no legal proceedings against the Fund, its General Partner, the CTA, the FCM, the IB or any of their Affiliates, directors or officers, except for the FCM, as follows:


Vision Financial Services LLC


On May 18, 2011, simultaneously with the issuance of a complaint by the NFA, Vision Financial Markets LLC ("Vision") consented to a finding based on a one-count complaint for failure to supervise guaranteed IBs in violation of NFA Compliance Rule 2-9(a). The alleged activities occurred prior to 2009. Without admitting or denying the findings in the Committee’s Decision, Vision consented to pay a fine of $500,000 and to retain an independent consultant to review its supervisory procedures relating to guaranteed IBs. Vision undertook to implement revised procedures for supervising GIBs within 6 months. Finally, Vision consented to a restriction on guaranteeing new introducing brokers until 2013, unless it petitions the NFA to lift the restriction earlier.


The FCM has acted only as clearing brokers for the Fund’s futures accounts and as such it has been paid commissions for executing and clearing trades. The FCM has not passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the Fund’s prospectus or this report and will not act in any supervisory capacity with respect to the CPO or the CTA, as the case may be, nor participate in the management of the CPO or of the Fund or of the CTA. Therefore, investors should not rely on the FCM in deciding whether or not to participate in the Fund.


The Fund is not aware of any threatened or potential claims or legal proceedings to which the Fund is a party or to which any of its assets are subject. The FCM has represented to the General Partner that that none of the events reported above would interfere with its performance as a clearing broker for the Fund’s account.


Item 1A. Risk Factors


There have been no material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed in the Fund’s 2011 Form 10-K.  The risks of the Fund are (1) described fully in its prospectus filed with its registration statement on Form S-1, which is incorporated herein by reference (2) described in summary in Part I of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the Partners of

 

 

Bromwell Financial Fund, Limited Partnership

Dover, Delaware

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have reviewed the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Bromwell Financial Fund, Limited Partnership, as of June 30, 2012 and the related statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the statements of changes in net assets and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  

 

 

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

 

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

 

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of assets and liabilities of Bromwell Financial Fund, Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 9, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the statement of assets and liabilities from which it has been derived.

Nature of the Business

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bromwell Financial Fund, Limited Partnership (the "Fund") was formed January 12, 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The general partner and commodity pool operator ("CPO") of the Fund is Belmont Capital Management, Inc. ("General Partner").  The Fund was actively engaged in the speculative trading of futures contracts in commodities from its commencement of business in July 2000 to January 10, 2005, when it ceased trading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On October 12, 2011, the Fund filed an S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission at registration number 333-177268 to register $20,000,000 in Units of Limited Partnership Interests.  Upon effectiveness and the subsequent sale of the $1,000,000 minimum offering amount, it will re-commence business, and Covenant Capital Management, LLC, an independent commodity trading advisor ("CTA"), will trade the equity allocated to it by the General Partner.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regulation - The Fund is a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). The Fund is subject to the regulations of the SEC and the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Fund is also subject to the regulations of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), an agency of the U.S. government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry, the rules of the National Futures Association ("NFA") and the requirements of various commodity exchanges where the Fund executes transactions. Additionally, the Fund is subject to the requirements of futures commission merchants and interbank market makers through which the Fund trades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reorganization Costs and Operating Expenses - For financial reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), all accumulated reorganization costs since January 10, 2005 have been expensed as incurred.  The Fund has incurred $244,024 in reorganization costs from the cessation of trading on January 10, 2005 through June 30, 2012.  For all other purposes, including determining the Net Asset Value per Unit for subscription and redemption purposes, the Fund will not reflect these costs in capital until after  the resumption of trading.  Reorganization costs will be amortized over 60 months on a straight line basis, or sooner at the General Partner's discretion.  The resumption of business is contingent upon the sale of the minimum offering amount.  The Fund has agreed to reimburse the General Partner, and other affiliated companies for all such expenses upon the sale of the minimum and resumption of business.  All costs after the resumption of business will be paid directly by the Fund.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consequently, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per unit for financial reporting purposes and for all other purposes are as follows:

Registration Costs - Costs incurred for the initial filings with the SEC, CFTC, NFA and the states where the offering was made were accumulated, deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of offering at  the initial closing as part of the offering expenses.  Costs to maintain the Fund's registration of its securities and recurring registration costs incurred since the cessation of trading on January 10, 2005 are treated as reorganization expenses and, accordingly, are accounted for as described above under "Reorganization Costs and Operating Expenses".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition - Futures contracts are recorded on the trade date and are reflected in the balance sheet at the difference between the original contract amount and the fair value on the last business day of the reporting period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fair value of futures contracts is based upon exchange or other applicable market best available closing quotations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interest income is recognized when it is earned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Income - Other income consists of $10,416 reversal of professional fees which were accrued in prior years. At June 30, 2012, it has been determined that such amount will not require payment.

Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use of Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Income Taxes - The Fund is not required to provide a provision for income taxes.  Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the individual partners.  The Fund may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Management has continued to evaluate the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, "Income Taxes", to the Fund and has determined that ASC 740 does not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.  The Fund files federal and state tax returns.  The 2008 through 2011 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund considers money market funds to be cash equivalents.  Net cash used in operating activities includes no cash payments for interest or income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fund Reopening - The Fund was closed as of June 30, 2012.  The Fund will reopen to new funds upon effectiveness of its registration statement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures - ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.  Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

General Partner Duties

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The responsibilities of the General Partner, in addition to directing the trading and investment activity of the Fund, including suspending all trading, includes executing and filing all necessary legal documents, statements and certificates of the Fund, retaining independent public accountants to audit the Fund, employing attorneys to represent the Fund, reviewing the brokerage commission rates to determine reasonableness, maintaining the tax status of the Fund as a limited partnership, maintaining a current list of the names, addresses and numbers of units owned by each limited partner and taking such other actions as deemed necessary or desirable to manage the business of the Fund.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the daily net unit value of the Fund falls to less than 50% of  the highest value earned through trading subsequent to the resumption of business, then the General Partner will immediately suspend all trading, provide all limited partners with notice of the reduction and give all limited partners the opportunity, for fifteen days after such notice, to redeem partnership interests. No trading will commence until after the lapse of the fifteen day period.

The Limited Partnership Agreement

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Limited Partnership Agreement provides, among other things, the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capital Account - A capital account shall be established for each partner.  The initial balance of each partner's capital account shall be the amount of the initial contributions to the Fund.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monthly Allocations - Any increase or decrease in the Fund's net asset value as of the end of a month shall be credited or charged to the capital account of each Fund in the ratio that the balance of each account bears to the total balance of all accounts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any distribution from profits or partners' capital will be made solely at the discretion of the General Partner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Federal Income Tax Allocations - As of the end of each fiscal year, the Fund's realized capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss shall be allocated among the partners, after having given effect to the fees and expenses of the Fund.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Subscriptions - Investors must submit subscription agreements and funds at least five business days prior to month end. Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by the General Partner within five business days. The investor also has five business days to withdraw his subscription. Funds are deposited into an interest bearing escrow account and will be transferred to the Fund's account on the first business day of the month after the subscription is accepted. Interest earned on the escrow funds will accrue to the account of the investor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Redemptions - A limited partner may request any or all of his investment be redeemed at the net asset value as of the end of a month. The written request must be received by the General Partner no less than ten days prior to a month end. Redemptions are generally paid within twenty days of the effective month end. However, in various circumstances the General Partner may be unable to comply with the request on a timely basis. There are no fees for redemption.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.

Fees

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fund will be charged various fees upon the sale of the minimum and resumption of business. These terms are currently being negotiated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The General Partner has reserved the right to change the fee structure at its sole discretion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.

ASC 460, "Guarantees", identifies certain disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. In the normal course of business, the Fund has provided general indemnifications to the General Partner, its CTA and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Fund. The Fund is unable to develop an estimate for future payments  resulting from hypothetical claims, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these indemnifications to be remote.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.  Indemnifications

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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