Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a)   As previously reported on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 7, 2016, the Board of Directors of Ceres Managed Futures LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Orion Futures Fund L.P. (the “Registrant”), dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the registered public accounting firm for the Registrant, effective as of the close of business on the day the Registrant’s audited financial statements for the 2016 fiscal year end, including the Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K, were filed.
On March 28, 2017, the Registrant filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and therefore, Deloitte’s term as the Registrant’s registered public accounting firm has ended.
The audit reports of Deloitte on the Registrant’s financial statements as of and for the two most recent fiscal years (ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015) did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years (ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015) and during the period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through the date of this Form 8-K/A, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter thereof in its report on the financial statements of the Registrant for such periods.  During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years (ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015) and during the period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through the date of this Form 8-K/A, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
The General Partner, on behalf of the Registrant, has provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Deloitte furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant set forth above.  A copy of Deloitte’s letter dated March 28, 2017 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.
(b)   As previously reported on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2016, the Board of Directors of the General Partner, on behalf of the Registrant, approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant.  On March 28, 2017, the Registrant filed its Form 10-K and its engagement of EY became effective.  During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years (ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015) and the interim period prior to engaging EY, neither the Registrant, the General Partner, nor anyone on their behalf consulted EY, on behalf of the Registrant, regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
