REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Partners of
Altegris QIM Futures Fund, L.P.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of operations and changes in partners' capital for the year ended December 31, 2010 of Altegris QIM Futures Fund, L.P. ("the Partnership"). 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 audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and changes in partners' capital of Altegris QIM Futures Fund, L.P. for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A.
General Description of the Partnership
 
Altegris 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 Altegris 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 (the “CFTC”), an agency of the United States (“U.S.”) government that 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.
 
B.
Methods of Reporting
 
The Partnership’s financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported fair value of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and reported amounts of income and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Partnership’s financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates and it is reasonably possible that the differences could be material.
 
C.
Fair Value
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, 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 Partnership uses various valuation approaches. The authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
C.  Fair Value (continued)
 
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.

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.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary among assets and liabilities and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of asset or liability, whether the asset or liability 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 asset or liability existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Partnership in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities 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 prices and inputs during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many assets and liabilities. This condition could cause an asset or liability to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

C.  Fair Value (continued)
 
The Partnership values futures contracts at the closing price of the contract’s primary exchange.  The Partnership includes futures contracts in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of U.S. government agency bonds and notes 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 which 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. U.S. government agency bonds and notes are generally categorized in Levels 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. No U.S. government agency bonds and notes were fair valued using valuation models as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The fair value of U.S. treasury obligations is generally based on quoted prices in active markets. U.S. treasury obligations are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The fair value of corporate notes is determined using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), notes spreads or credit default swap spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as that of the notes. If the spread data does not reference the issuer, 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, notes, or single-name credit default swap spreads and recovery rates based on collateral values as key inputs. These valuation methods represent both a market and income approach to fair value measurement. Corporate notes are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, in instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the hierarchy. No corporate notes were fair valued using valuation models as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. There were no changes in the Partnership’s valuation methodology during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
D.  Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined using the identified cost method. Change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Operations. Brokerage commissions and other trading fees are reflected as an adjustment to cost or proceeds at the time of the transaction.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
 
Gains or losses on futures contracts are realized when contracts are closed. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price) are reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Operations. Brokerage commissions on futures contracts include other trading fees and are incurred as an expense when contracts are opened.
 
E.  Futures Contracts
 
The Partnership may invest in futures contracts as part of its investment strategy. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Partnership is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Partnership each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are included in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts. The Partnership recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
 
There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as an investment option. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments. In addition, there is the risk that the Partnership may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. Open positions in futures contracts at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are reflected within the Condensed Schedules of Investments.
 
F.  Foreign Currency Transactions
 
The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. 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 Statements of Financial Condition.  Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in the Statement of Operations.

G.  Cash
 
Restricted cash is held as margin collateral for futures transactions.
 
The Partnership maintains a custody account with a major financial institution. At times, the Partnership’s cash balance could exceed the insured amount under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC temporarily increased its limit to $250,000 until December 31, 2013. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant counterparty risk related to its cash account.
 
H.  Offering Costs
 
Offering costs incurred in connection with the ongoing offering of the Partnership’s interests are borne by the Partnership.  These costs include, but are not limited to, legal fees pertaining to updating the Partnership’s offering documents and materials, accounting and printing costs.  These costs are charged as an expense when incurred.
 
I.  Income Taxes
 
As an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; the Partnership itself is not subject to federal income tax. The Partnership prepares and files calendar year U.S. and applicable state information tax returns and reports to the partners their allocable shares of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
 
The Partnership is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority.  De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized results in the Partnership recording a tax liability that reduces ending partners’ capital. Based on its analysis, the Partnership has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.  However, the Partnership’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. 
 
The Partnership recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.  No interest expense or penalties have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
 
The Partnership is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years since its inception.

A.  Capital Accounts and Allocation of Income and Loss
 
The Partnership accounts for subscriptions 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 (collectively referred to as “Interests”).  Income or loss (prior to management fees, administrative fees, service fees and incentive fees) is 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 Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership, as may be amended and restated from time to time (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. Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests were first issued by the Partnership on October 1, 2009.

No limited partner of the Partnership (each, a “Limited Partner” and collectively the “Limited Partners”) shall be liable for any debts or liabilities of the Partnership or any losses thereof in excess of such Limited Partner's capital contributions, except as may be required by law.
 
B.  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.  The General Partner may request and receive redemption of capital, subject to the same terms as any Limited Partner.

The partners may withdraw their interests on a monthly basis upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice, subject to the discretion of the General Partner.

D.  Altegris Investments, Inc. and Altegris Futures, L.L.C.
 
Altegris Investments, Inc. (“Altegris Investments”), an affiliate of the General Partner, is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities Exchange Commission. Beginning January 1, 2011, Altegris Futures, L.L.C. (“Altegris Futures”), an affiliate of the General Partner and an introducing broker registered with the CFTC, became the Partnership’s introducing broker. Prior to January 1, 2011, Altegris Investments served as the Partnership’s introducing broker.  Altegris Investments 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 Investments that are outstanding at month end. Altegris Futures, as the Partnership’s introducing broker, receives a portion of the commodity brokerage commissions paid by the Partnership to J.P.

NOTE 8 - 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 because, in over-the-counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its respective individual counterparties.  However, in the future, if 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 because 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.
 
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Custodian”) is the Partnership’s custodian. The Partnership has cash deposited with the Custodian.  For cash not held with the Clearing Broker, the Partnership receives cash management services from an affiliate of the Custodian, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”).  The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with the Custodian 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 9 - 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.
