The Partnership is an Investment Company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification" or "ASC") Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Partnership's business is to trade, buy, sell or otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of futures contracts, options on physical commodities and on futures contracts, forward contracts, and instruments that may be the subject of a futures contract, including equities, indices and sectors ("Commodity Interests"), and any rights pertaining thereto and to engage in all activities incident thereto. The objective of the Partnership is the appreciation of its assets though speculative trading.

From the Partnership’s start until February 1, 2011, Ruvane Fund Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Ruvane” or the “General Partner” for periods prior to March 1, 2011), was the sole general partner of the Partnership. From that date until March 1, 2011, Bridgeton Fund Management, LLC (“Bridgeton” or the “General Partner” for periods on or after March 1, 2011) was a co-general partner of the Partnership with Ruvane. Effective March 1, 2011, Bridgeton is the sole general partner of the Partnership. Bridgeton has been registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) since January 11, 2011 and has been a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) since January 11, 2011. The General Partner is required by the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended and restated (the “Agreement”), to contribute $1,000 to the Partnership.

In accordance with Section 5 of the Agreement, the Partnership offers separate classes of limited partnership interests, whereby interests which were issued prior to January 16, 2003 by the Partnership will be designated as Class A interests. The Partnership also offers Class B limited partnership interests through a private offering pursuant to Regulation D as adopted under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Partnership will offer the Class B interests up to an aggregate of $100,000,000; provided that the General Partner may increase the amount of interests that will be offered in increments of $10,000,000 after notice to the limited partners. Certain expenses for the Class B interests will differ from those of the Class A interests, but in all other respects the Class A interests and the Class B interests are identical. The Class A interests and Class B interests will also be traded pursuant to the same trading programs.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.         Method of Reporting
 
The Partnership’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 the reported amounts of income (loss) and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
FASB Codification is the single source of U.S. GAAP.
 
The Partnership has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows as permitted under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows.
 
 
B.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 
The Partnership has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired.  Money market mutual funds, which are included in cash equivalents, are classified as Level 1 fair value estimates (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets) under the fair value hierarchy provisions as described in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Partnership had investments in money market mutual funds of $7,754,013 and $7,751,841, respectively.  Interest received on cash deposits and dividends received from money market mutual funds are included as interest income and recognized on an accrual basis.
 
 
C.
Due from Brokers
 
 
Due from brokers represents deposits required to meet margin requirements and excess funds not required for margin.  Due from brokers at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of cash on deposit with the brokers of $1,191,060 and $1,723,176, respectively.  The Partnership is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with whom the Partnership conducts business is unable to deliver cash balances or securities, or clear securities transactions on the Partnership’s behalf.  The General Partner monitors the financial condition of the brokers with which the Partnership conducts business and believes that the likelihood of loss under the aforementioned circumstances is remote. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

Investments in Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts, and Forward Currency Contracts
 
 
 
Investments in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward currency contracts are recorded on the trade date and open contracts are reported in the financial statements at their fair value on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of exchange-traded futures and options on futures contracts is determined by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period. Accordingly, such contracts are classified as Level 1 fair value estimates under the fair value hierarchy as described within ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The fair value of forward currency (non-exchange traded) contracts is determined based on the interpolation of mid spot rates and forward points, as provided by a leading data provider. Such valuation technique for forward currency contracts represents both a market approach and an income approach to fair value measurements, and accordingly, forward currency contracts are categorized as Level 2 fair value estimates under ASC Topic 820. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated, on a first-in-first-out basis. Realized gains are netted with realized losses for financial reporting purposes and shown under the caption “Net realized losses on closed contracts” in the Statements of Income (Loss). Effective June 1, 2015, brokerage commissions reflect actual trading commissions and other execution costs on futures contracts and options on futures contracts, and are charged to expense when incurred.
 
 
As the Partnership has the right of offset, the Partnership presents the aggregate net unrealized gains on open futures contracts with such brokers as “Net unrealized gains on open futures contracts” and the aggregate net unrealized losses on open futures contracts with such brokers as “Net unrealized losses on open futures contracts” in the Statements of Financial Condition, as applicable. The net unrealized gains on open futures contracts with one broker are not offset against net unrealized losses on open futures contracts from another broker in the Statements of Financial Condition where applicable (see Note 5., Derivative Instruments, for disclosures about offsetting derivative assets and liabilities).
 
Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss) under the caption “Change in net unrealized losses on open contracts.”
 
 
E.
Flat-rate Brokerage Commissions
 
 
 
Prior to November 1, 2014, the Class A limited partners paid to the General Partner a flat brokerage commission of 4.0% annually of the net asset value of the Class A limited partners’ capital as of the beginning of each month. Prior to November 1, 2014, Class B limited partners paid to the General Partner a flat brokerage commission equal to the following percentages of each Series’ applicable net asset value: Series 1 – 3%, Series 2 – 6%, and Series 3 – 5%. From November 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015, each of Class A interests and Class B interests paid to the General Partner a flat-rate monthly brokerage commission of approximately 0.13% (1.56% per year) of the net asset value of the Class A interests and Class B interests as of the beginning of each month. The General Partner paid from this amount all floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and NFA fees with respect to the Partnership’s trading, but the Partnership paid all other execution costs, including give-up charges and service fees assessed by certain forward dealing desks. From these amounts, the General Partner paid (1) actual trading commissions incurred by the Partnership of $26,703 and $53,615 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively and $54,999 and $110,369 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and, prior to November 1, 2014, (2) 3.0% to properly registered selling agents as their ongoing compensation for servicing Class B limited partners (and to the extent the amount was less than 3%, the brokerage commissions with respect to such Class B limited partnership interests would be reduced accordingly). Effective November 1, 2014, the properly registered selling agents are paid through the placement agent trail fee (see Note 3.I.). Effective June 1, 2015, the General Partner no longer assesses flat-rate brokerage commissions or pays actual trading commissions on behalf of the Partnership, and the Partnership recognizes and pays actual trading commissions incurred. Approximately 35% to 45% of the actual trading commissions incurred by the Partnership is remitted by the brokers to an Introducing Broker affiliated with Bridgeton.

Allocation of Income (Loss)
 
 
Net realized and unrealized trading profits and losses, interest income and other operating income and expenses, except Class or Series specific brokerage commission charges or placement agent trail fees, are allocated to the partners monthly in proportion to their capital account balances, as defined in the Agreement.  Class and/or Series specific commission charges or placement agent trail fees are allocated monthly to the partners of the respective Class and/or Series in proportion to their respective capital account balances within the Class and/or Series.
 
 
G.
Incentive Fees
 
 
Pursuant to the Trading Advisory Agreements with Willowbridge (“Willowbridge Agreement”), QIM (“QIM Agreement”), Revolution (“Revolution Agreement”), and Bridgeton (“Bridgeton Agreement”), the Trading Advisors are entitled to an incentive fee based on the New Profits, the New Net Profits, the New Net Total Return, or the Net New High Profits, as defined in the applicable Trading Advisory Agreements, of the Partnership’s trading assets allocated to the respective Trading Advisor. The Trading Advisors earn such incentive fees on a quarterly basis.
 
Willowbridge was entitled to a quarterly incentive fee of 25% of any New Profits, as defined in the Willowbridge Agreement. The term “New Profits” for the purpose of calculating Willowbridge’s incentive fee only, is defined as the excess (if any) of (A) the net asset value of the Partnership’s trading assets allocated to Willowbridge as of the last day of any calendar quarter (before deduction of incentive fees paid or accrued for such quarter), over (B) the net asset value of the Partnership’s trading assets allocated to Willowbridge as of the last day of the most recent quarter for which an incentive fee was paid or payable (after deduction of such incentive fee). In computing New Profits, the difference between (A) and (B) above was (i) increased by the amount of any distributions or redemptions paid or accrued by the Partnership as of or subsequent to the date in (B) through the date in (A), (ii) adjusted (either decreased or increased, as the case may be) to reflect the amount of any additional allocations or negative reallocations of Partnership assets from the date in (B) to the last day of the quarter as of which the current incentive fee calculation is made, and (iii) increased by the amount of any losses attributable to redemptions.
 
QIM was entitled to a quarterly incentive fee of 30% of any New Net Profits (as defined in the QIM Agreement) in the Partnership’s account as of each calendar quarter end. “New Net Profits”, for the purpose of calculating QIM’s incentive fee, is defined as the excess of cumulative gain/loss from commodity trading (excluding interest) less trading and management fees over its highest past value at any prior calendar quarterly period with respect to trading assets allocated to QIM. The “gain/loss from commodity trading” is the net gain or loss from closed and completed commodity transactions (after brokerage commissions) plus the increases/decreases in the value of open positions at the end of each calendar quarter (accounting for commissions that would be incurred by closing such open positions). In the event of any subsequent losses, the quarterly incentive fees were not charged until there were Net New Profits to offset such losses.

G.
Incentive Fees (Continued)
 
 
Revolution was entitled to a quarterly incentive fee of 20% of any New Net Total Return (as defined in the Revolution Agreement) in the Partnership’s account as of each calendar quarter end. “New Net Total Return”, for the purpose of calculating Revolution’s incentive fee, is computed using the formula: (1) the net of realized profits and loss during the period, plus (2) the change in unrealized profit and loss on open positions during the period, plus (3) accrued interest income, minus (4) all brokerage commissions, transaction fees, management fees and other charges incurred during the period and minus (5) cumulative net loss, if any, carried over from previous periods. Cumulative net loss shall be computed by totaling all net profit in each period (quarter or month) in which there was such a profit and subtracting from it all net loss in each period (quarter or month) in which there was such a loss, provided that the full cumulative net loss would not be carried over where a withdrawal had occurred. Instead, a portion of the loss (calculated by dividing the withdrawn amount by the total under management and multiplying the result by the cumulative net loss) attributable to the withdrawn amount would first be subtracted from the cumulative net loss.
 
Bridgeton is entitled to a quarterly incentive fee equal to 10% of the Net New High Profits (as defined in the Bridgeton agreement). “Net New High Profits” is defined as the excess of the cumulative realized and unrealized gain or loss from commodity trading plus interest, less monthly management fees and previous incentive fees over the highest past value at any previous calendar quarter end. In the event of subsequent losses, the incentive fee would not be charged until there are “Net New High Profits.” Incentive fees once earned are not subject to refund if subsequent periods result in losses. In connection with the termination of relationships with certain Trading Advisors, and as the high-water marks or loss carry-forwards are specific to each Trading Advisor, the prior losses associated with former Trading Advisors are no longer subject to recoupement in order for incentive fees to be assessed by Bridgeton.  The incentive fee to Bridgeton will be waived until such time that the respective Class or Series’ unit net asset value exceeds the high water mark achieved in January 2015.
 
There were no incentive fees earned for Willowbridge, QIM, Revolution, or Bridgeton for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
 
 
H.
Management Fees
 
 
Through October 31, 2014, the General Partner charged a general partner management fee each beginning of month at 1/12 of 1% of the Partnership’s net assets as of the beginning of the respective monthEffective November 1, 2014, the General Partner charges such management fee each beginning of month at 1/12 of 0.35% of the Partnership’s net assets as of the beginning of the respective month. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Partnership recorded management fee expense earned by the General Partner of $8,539 and $17,432, respectively, and of $23,492 and $49,028 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
 
 
The Partnership paid to Willowbridge a quarterly trading advisor management fee of 0.25% (1% per year) of the Partnership’s trading assets allocated to Willowbridge. The Partnership paid Revolution a monthly trading advisor management fee of 0.083% (1% per year) of the Partnership’s trading assets allocated to Revolution. The Partnership pays Bridgeton a monthly trading advisor management fee of 0.07083% (0.85% per year) of the Partnership’s trading assets allocated to Bridgeton. QIM was not paid a trading advisor management fee. The aggregate trading assets allocated to the Trading Advisors may exceed the net asset value of the Partnership, and accordingly management fees may exceed that which would be assessed based on net asset value.

Placement Agent Trail Fees
 
 
Effective November 1, 2014, the Partnership pays properly registered selling agents a monthly Placement Agent Trail Fee of 0.083% (1.0% per year) for their ongoing service to the Partnership with regard to any Class A interests sold by said selling agents or a fee of 0.167% (2.0% per year) for their ongoing service to the Partnership with regard to any Class B2 interests sold by said selling agents. There is no Placement Agent Trail Fee paid by Class B1 interests. Prior to November 1, 2014, the General Partner paid such selling agent fees from the flat-rate General Partner brokerage commission charged to the Partnership.
 
 
Placement agent trail fees separately paid by the Partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $22,819 and $48,017, respectively, including $1,530 and $3,137, respectively, paid to the General Partner or its affiliates.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $489 and $990, respectively, of placement agent fees were due to the General Partner or its affiliates and are included with other accrued expenses in the Statements of Financial Condition.
 
 
J.
Income Taxes
 
 
No provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as each partner is individually liable for taxes, if any, on his or her share of the Partnership’s profits.
 
 
The Partnership applies the provisions of Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, which prescribe the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements.  This accounting standard requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year.  The Partnership has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties, if any, as interest expense.  The General Partner has concluded there is no tax expense or interest expense related to uncertainties in income tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
 
 
The Partnership files U.S. federal and state tax returns.  The 2012 through 2014 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state authorities.
 
 
K.
Subscriptions
 
 
Partnership units may be purchased on the first day of each month at the net asset value per unit determined on the last business day of the previous month.  Partners’ contributions received in advance for subscriptions are recorded as prepaid subscriptions in the Statements of Financial Condition.
 
 
L.
Redemptions
 
 
Limited partners may redeem some or all of their units at the net asset value per unit as of the last business day of each month with at least ten days written notice to the General Partner.
 
 
M.
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 respective 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 (losses) resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars totaled $(2,624) and $3,217 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and totaled $(1,719) and $(3,063) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and are reported as a component of “Net realized (losses) on closed contracts” in the Statements of Income (Loss).

Indemnifications
 
 
The Partnership has entered into agreements which provide for the indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of its obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith. The Partnership’s individual 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 generally expects the risk of loss from indemnification claims in the future to be remote.
 
4.
FAIR VALUE
 
 
Fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price).
 
 
The fair value hierarchy, as more fully described in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value.  Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment.  Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
 
 
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
 
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.  The types of investments included in Level 1 are publicly traded investments.  As required by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Partnership does not adjust the quoted price for these investments even in situations where the Partnership holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
 
 
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.  Investments which are generally included in this category are investments valued using market data.
 
 
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Fair value for these investments is determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed. Investments that are included in this category generally are privately held debt and equity securities.
 
 
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 General Partner’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.  The Partnership recognizes transfers, if any, between fair value hierarchy levels at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of the fair value hierarchy levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
 
The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of forward currency contracts, options on futures contracts, and futures contracts in currencies, financials and a wide range of commodities, among others (collectively “derivatives”) for the purpose of achieving capital appreciation.  Since the derivatives held or sold by the Partnership are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments as defined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
 
 
Under provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, entities are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Statement of Financial Condition.  Investments in futures contracts are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as “Net unrealized gains on open contracts” or “Net unrealized (losses) on open contracts,” as applicable.
 
The Partnership’s derivatives held at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are subject to agreements similar to master netting agreements with the Partnership’s brokers which grant the Partnership the right to offset recognized assets and liabilities if certain conditions exist. The following tables present gross amounts of assets and liabilities which are offset in the Statements of Financial Condition.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
Within the Statements of Financial Condition, the fair value of futures contracts is included in net unrealized gain on open futures contracts and the fair value of options on futures contracts is included in purchased options on futures contracts and written options on futures contracts.

The cash held at each counterparty at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 exceeds the net derivatives liability, if any, at such counterparty. Realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Partnership’s trading profits and losses in the Statements of Income (Loss).
 
The Partnership’s trading results and information related to the volume of the Partnership’s derivative activity by market sector were as follows:

A.         Market Risk
 
 
The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward currency contracts. Derivative financial instruments involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet market risk whereby changes in the level of volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or market values of the underlying financial instruments or commodities may result in cash settlements in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition.  The Partnership’s exposure to market risk is directly influenced by a number of factors, including the volatility of the markets in which the financial instruments are traded and the liquidity of those markets.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
B.         Fair Value
 
 
The derivative financial instruments used in the Partnership’s trading activities are reported at fair value with the resulting unrealized gains (losses) recorded in the Statements of Financial Condition and the related trading profits (losses) reflected in “trading (losses)” in the Statements of Income (Loss).  Open contracts generally mature within 90 days; as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the latest maturity dates for open contracts are December 2015 and March 2015, respectively.
 
 
C.
Credit Risk
 
 
Futures are contracts for delayed delivery of financial interests in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified financial instrument at a specified price or yield. Options on futures are contracts giving its owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a specified number of futures contracts at a fixed strike price either during a specified period or on a specified date. Risk on futures and options on futures contracts arises from changes in the fair value of the underlying instruments. The purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts requires certain margin deposits with the brokers. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract fair value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such broker's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with a broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the broker's segregation requirements. In the event of a broker's insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited with such brokers ("counterparties"). The Partnership’s counterparties are major brokerage firms and banks located in the United States, or their foreign affiliates. Credit risk due to counterparty nonperformance associated with futures contracts and options on futures contracts is reflected in the cash on deposit with brokers and the gross amounts of recognized assets held by such counterparties, if any, reflected above. The Partnership also trades forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.
 
 
The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with brokers and other financial institutions in connection with its trading of derivative contracts and its cash management activities. Assets deposited with brokers and other financial institutions in connection with the Partnership's trading of derivative contracts are partially restricted due to deposit or margin requirements. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency, recovery of Partnership assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.
 
 
D.
Risk Monitoring
 
Due to the speculative nature of the Partnership’s derivatives trading, the Partnership is subject to the risk of substantial losses from derivatives trading.  The General Partner actively assesses, manages, and monitors risk exposure on derivatives on a contract basis, a market sector basis, and on an overall basis in accordance with established risk parameters. The Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the fair value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Bridgeton Tactical Advisors Fund, LP (the “Partnership”) engages in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, options on commodities or commodity futures contracts, and forward contracts (“Commodity Interests”). The Partnership may also invest in entities (including without limitation other partnerships, separate managed accounts, exchange traded funds or other types of funds) that primarily trade in exchange traded securities, options on exchange traded securities, exchange traded funds or Commodity and Futures Contracts. From the Partnership’s start until February 1, 2011, Ruvane Fund Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Ruvane” or the “General Partner” for periods prior to March 1, 2011), was the sole general partner of the Partnership. From that date until March 1, 2011, Bridgeton Fund Management, LLC (“Bridgeton” or the “General Partner” for periods on or after March 1, 2011) was a co-general partner of the Partnership with Ruvane. Effective March 1, 2011, Bridgeton is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The General Partner has selected Willowbridge Associates Inc. (“Willowbridge”), Quantitative Investment Management LLC (“QIM”), PJM Capital (“PJM”), DPT Capital Management LLC (“DPT”), 3D Capital Management, LLC (“3D Capital”), Revolution Capital Management LLC (“Revolution”), and Bridgeton Fund Management, LLC (“Bridgeton”) (collectively the “Advisors”) as the Partnership’s trading advisors. Certain principals of the Partnership are also principals of DPT. The Partnership terminated the relationship with DPT, PJM, 3D Capital, and QIM effective January 31, 2013, July 1, 2013, December 31, 2013, and April 30, 2014, respectively, and Revolution and Willowbridge were both terminated effective October 31, 2014. Effective November 1, 2014, the Partnership allocated 100% of its trading assets to Bridgeton.
 
The success of the Partnership is dependent upon the ability of the Advisors to generate trading profits through the speculative trading of Commodity Interests sufficient to produce capital appreciation after payment of all fees and expenses. Future results will depend in large part upon the Commodity Interests markets in general, the performance of the Advisors, the amount of additions and redemptions and changes in interest rates. Due to the leveraged nature of the Partnership’s trading activity, small price movements in Commodity Interests may result in substantial gains or losses to the Partnership. Because of the nature of these factors and their interaction, past performance is not indicative of future results. As a result, any recent increases in net realized or unrealized gains may have no bearing on any results that may be obtained in the future.
 
The Partnership incurs substantial charges from the payment of flat-rate brokerage commissions to the General Partner or actual trading commissions, payment of management and incentive fees to the Advisors, payment of management fees to the General Partner, payment of placement agent fees to selling agents, and administrative expenses. The Partnership is required to make trading profits to avoid depleting and exhausting its assets from the payment of such fees and expenses.
 
From January 1, 2014 to April 30, 2014, the Partnership allocated its trading assets to the Trading Advisors: approximately 40% to Willowbridge, 35% to QIM, and 25% to Revolution. From May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, the Partnership allocated its trading assets to the Trading Advisors: approximately 64% to Willowbridge and 36% to Revolution. Effective October 1, 2014, Bridgeton was added as a trading advisor and the allocation was adjusted to 47% for Willowbridge, 16% for Revolution, and 37% to Bridgeton. Effective November 1, 2014, the Partnership allocated 100% of its trading assets to Bridgeton. The General Partner believes that the combination of several investment strategies and global market exposure reduces the Partnership’s dependence on the success of any single strategy while positioning the Partnership to participate in economic trends in different markets. Nonetheless, in many cases the markets traded by the individual trading strategies overlap and the positions held by the Partnership at any particular point in time may result in different concentrations in any group of markets, which may reduce the diversification of the Partnership’s investments. These firms offer what the General Partner believes to be unique approaches that complement each other. Willowbridge’s Primary Program utilizes trading strategies that focus on capturing directional price movements over medium to longer term time horizons. QIM’s Global Program utilizes multiple trading strategies over various time horizons, particularly shorter timeframes. PJM Capital began its research and proprietary test trading in 2003, culminating in new models built around volatility mean reversion and nonlinear position sizing consistent with markets as representations of Complex Adaptive Systems. DPT Capital Management’s investment approach is quantitative and highly systematic and is based on founder Prof. John M. Mulvey’s innovative risk management and portfolio allocation technology known as Dynamic Portfolio Tactics™. 3D Capital’s 3D Bull Program and 3D Blend Program utilize a systematic approach in futures contracts on domestic stock indices. Revolution’s Program utilizes rigorous statistical methods to uncover and exploit numerous inefficiencies in futures markets. The General Partner seeks to limit market and credit risks by monitoring daily income and margin levels. The General Partner also relies upon the risk management strategies inherent in the Advisors’ trading programs. In the future, the General Partner may utilize additional strategies or appoint additional advisors to trade on behalf of the Partnership.
 
Prior to November 1, 2014, the Class A limited partners paid to the General Partner a flat brokerage commission of 4.0% annually of the net asset value of the Class A limited partners’ capital as of the beginning of each month. Prior to November 1, 2014, Class B limited partners paid to the General Partner a flat brokerage commission equal to the following percentages of each Series’ applicable net asset value: Series 1 – 3%, Series 2 – 6%, and Series 3 – 5%. From November 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015, each of Class A interests and Class B interests paid to the General Partner a flat-rate monthly brokerage commission of approximately 0.13% (1.56% per year) of the net asset value of the Class A interests and Class B interests as of the beginning of each month. The General Partner paid from this amount all floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and NFA fees with respect to the Partnership’s trading, but the Partnership paid all other execution costs, including give-up charges and service fees assessed by certain forward dealing desks. Effective June 1, 2015, the General Partner no longer assesses flat-rate brokerage commissions or pays actual trading commissions on behalf of the Partnership, and the Partnership recognizes and pays actual trading commissions incurred.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Partnership’s financial statements. The critical accounting estimates and related judgments underlying the Partnership’s financial statements are summarized below. In applying these policies, management makes judgments that frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
 
Investments in commodity futures, options and forward contracts are recorded on the trade date and open contracts are recorded in the financial statements at their fair value on the last business day of the reporting period. The difference between the original cost basis of the contract and fair value is recorded in income as a net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains and losses on closed contracts are recorded on a first-in, first-out basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. All Commodity Interests and other financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the financial statements. Fair value is based on quoted market prices or estimates of fair value.
 
The Partnership records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of “trading losses” in the Statements of Income (Loss). Generally, fair values are based on quoted market prices; however, in certain circumstances, significant judgments and estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
In general, each Advisor trades only those Commodity Interests that have sufficient liquidity to enable it to enter and close out positions without causing major price movements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, most United States commodity exchanges limit the amount by which certain commodities may move during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Pursuant to such regulations, no trades may be executed on any given day at prices beyond daily limits. The price of a futures contract occasionally has exceeded the daily limit for several consecutive days, with little or no trading, thereby effectively preventing a party from liquidating its position. While the occurrence of such an event may reduce or eliminate the liquidity of a particular market, it will not eliminate losses and may, in fact, substantially increase losses because of the inability to liquidate unfavorable positions. In addition, if there is little or no trading in a particular futures or forward contract that the Partnership is trading, whether such liquidity is caused by any the above reasons or otherwise, the Partnership may be unable to liquidate its position prior to its expiration date, thereby requiring the Partnership to make or take delivery of the underlying interests of the Commodity Interests.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
The Partnership’s capital resources are dependent upon three factors: (a) the income or losses generated by the Advisors; (b) the capital invested or redeemed by the limited partners; and (c) the capital invested or redeemed by the General Partner. The Partnership sells limited partnership units to investors from time to time in private placements pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of the last day of any month, a limited partner may redeem all of its limited partnership units on 10 days’ prior written notice to the General Partner.
 
The General Partner is required to contribute $1,000 to the Partnership. All capital contributions by the General Partner necessary to maintain such capital account balance are evidenced by units of general partnership interest, each of which has an initial value equal to the net asset value per unit at the time of such contribution. The General Partner may withdraw any excess above its required capital contribution without notice to the limited partners and may also contribute any greater amount to the Partnership.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not required.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
The Managing Member of the General Partner (who serves as the principal executive officer and financial officer of the Partnership) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that the Partnership records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely and effective manner the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon this evaluation, the General Partner concluded that, as of June 30, 2015 the Partnership’s disclosure controls are effective and ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are accumulated and communicated to management of the General Partner (which consists of the principals of the General Partner) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the second quarter of 2015, there were no changes in the Partnership’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
There currently is no established public trading market for the Limited Partnership Units. As of June 30, 2015, 2,339.4201 Partnership Units were held by 169 Limited Partners and the General Partner. All of the Limited Partnership Units are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or sold in accordance with an exemption therefrom, such as Rule 144. The Partnership has no plans to register any of the Limited Partnership Units for resale. In addition, the Partnership Agreement contains certain restrictions on the transfer of Limited Partnership Units. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the sole discretion to determine whether distributions (other than on redemption of Limited Partnership Units), if any, will be made to partners. The Partnership has never paid any distributions and does not anticipate paying any distributions to partners in the foreseeable future. From January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, a total of 116.3110 Partnership Units were subscribed for the aggregate subscription amount of $241,981. The monthly subscriptions of these Partnership Units are as follows:
