GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
(1) Organization
The GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund (the “Fund” “Fund” may also refer to the Fund and the Master Fund, collectively as the context requires) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on October 27, 2006, and GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Master Index Fund (the “Master Fund”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on October 27, 2006. The Fund offers common units of beneficial interest (the “Shares”). Upon inception of the Fund, 50 General Units of the Fund were issued to GreenHaven Commodity Services, LLC (the “Managing Owner”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $1,500. The Managing Owner serves the Fund as commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, and managing owner.
Shares are purchased from the Fund only by Authorized Participants in one or more blocks of 50,000 Shares, called a Basket. The proceeds from the offering of Shares are invested in the Master Fund. The Master Fund actively trades exchange traded futures on the commodities comprising the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index (the “Index”), with a view to tracking the performance of the Index over time. The Master Fund’s portfolio also includes United States Treasury securities for deposit with the Master Fund’s commodities brokers as margin and other high credit quality short term fixed income securities. The Fund wholly owns the Master Fund. The Fund and Master Fund commenced investment operations on January 23, 2008 with the offering of 350,000 Shares in exchange for $10,500,000. The Fund commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange (now known as the NYSE Arca) on January 24, 2008 and, as of November 25, 2008, was listed on the NYSE Arca.
The Index is intended to reflect the performance of certain commodities. The commodities comprising the Index (the “Index Commodities”) are: Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Live Cattle, Lean Hogs, Gold, Silver, Copper, Cocoa, Coffee, Sugar, Cotton, Orange Juice, Platinum, Crude Oil, Heating Oil, and Natural Gas.
The Managing Owner and the Shareholders share in any profits and losses of the Fund attributable to the Fund in proportion to the percentage interest owned by each.
The Managing Owner, the Fund and the Master Fund will retain the services of third party service providers to the extent necessary to operate the ongoing operations of the Fund and the Master Fund (see Note (2)).
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 (the period ending September 30, 2008 begins on January 23, 2008, the date of trading commencement) included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of the Managing Owner, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statement and include all adjustments, which are of the normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Fund’s financial position, investments, results of operations and its cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the year or for any other interim period or for any future year.
(2) Service Providers and Related Party Agreements
(a) “The Trustee” — CSC Trust is the trustee for the Fund and Master Fund. CSC Trust is headquartered in Wilmington, DE.
(b) “The Managing Owner” — GreenHaven Commodity Services, LLC is the managing owner of the Fund and Master Fund and is responsible for the day to day operations of both entities.

Table of Contents

(c) “The Administrator” — The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation has been appointed by the Managing Owner as the administrator, custodian and transfer agent of the Fund and the Master Fund, and has entered into separate administrative, custodian, transfer agency and service agreements (collectively referred to as the “Administration Agreement”). Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs or supervises the services necessary for the operation and administration of the Fund and the Master Fund (other than making investment decisions), including receiving net asset value calculations, accounting and other fund administrative services. As the Fund’s transfer agent, the Administrator will process additions and redemptions of Shares. These transactions will be processed on Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) book entry system. The Administrator retains certain financial books and records, including: Basket creation and redemption books and records, fund accounting records, ledgers with respect to assets, liabilities, capital, income and expenses, the registrar, transfer journals and related details and trading and related documents received from futures commission merchants. The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation is based in New York, New York.
(d) “The Commodity Broker” — Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith (“Merrill Lynch”) and Morgan Stanley (“Morgan Stanley”) are the Master Fund’s Commodity Brokers. In their capacity as the Commodity Brokers, they execute and clear each of the Master Fund’s futures transactions and perform certain administrative services for the Master Fund. Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley are based in New York, New York.
(e) “The Distributor” — ALPS Inc. provides certain distribution services to the Fund. Pursuant to the Distribution Services Agreement between the Managing Owner in its capacity as managing owner of the Fund and Distributor, the Distributor assists the Managing Owner and the Administrator with certain functions and duties relating to the creation and redemption of Baskets. The Distribution Services Agreement is effective for two years and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Managing Owner or otherwise as provided under the Distribution Services Agreement. The Distribution Services Agreement is terminable without penalty on sixty (60) days written notice by the Managing Owner or by the Distributor. The Distribution Services Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment.
(f) “The Authorized Participant” — Authorized Participants may create or redeem shares of the Master Fund. Each Authorized Participant must (1) be a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions, (2) be a participant in the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and (3) have entered into a participant agreement with the Fund and the Managing Owner, or a Participant Agreement. The Participant Agreement sets forth the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets of Shares and for the delivery of cash required for such creations or redemptions. A list of the current Authorized Participants can be obtained from the Administrator. A similar agreement between the Fund and the Master Fund sets forth the procedures for the creation and redemption of Master Unit Baskets by the Fund.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Fund defines cash and cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less when acquired. Cash or deposit in excess of margin requirements and not subject to any withdrawal restrictions is reported as cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.

Table of Contents

(c) United States Treasury Obligations
The Fund records purchases and sales of United States Treasury Obligations on a trade date basis. These holdings are marked to market based on quoted market closing prices. The Fund holds United States Treasury Obligations for deposit with the Master Fund’s commodity brokers for margin purposes and to earn additional interest income on the remaining cash balance. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the United States Treasury Obligations using the interest method.
(d) Income Taxes
The Fund and Master Fund are classified as a grantor trust and a partnership respectively, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the Master Fund will incur U.S. federal income taxes. No provision for federal, state, and local income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as investors are individually liable for income taxes, if any, on their allocable share of the Fund’s share of the Master Fund’s income, gain, loss, deductions and other items.
(e) Futures Contracts
All commodity futures contracts are held and used for trading purposes. The commodity futures are recorded on a trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial condition at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market value for those commodity futures for which market quotes are readily available. However, when market closing prices are not available, the Managing Owner may value an asset of the Master Fund pursuant to such other principles as the Managing Owner deems fair and equitable so long as such principles are consistent with normal industry standards. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open positions are determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the consolidated statement of income and expenses in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively.
(f) Basis of Presentation & Consolidation
Upon the initial offering of the limited shares of the Fund, 100% of the capital raised by the Fund was used to purchase common units of beneficial interest of the Master Fund. The financial statement balances of the Master Fund were consolidated with the Fund’s financial statement balances beginning the first reporting period subsequent to the initial offering, and all significant inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated.
(4) Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement does not require any new fair value measures. The Statement is effective for fair value measures already required or permitted by other standards for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Fund was required to adopt ASC 820 beginning on January 1, 2008. ASC 820 is required to be applied prospectively, except for certain financial instruments. Any transition adjustment will be recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Fund adopted ASC 820 when trading operations commenced on January 23, 2008. The Fund believes that all of the measurements of operations are reoccurring measurements. The assets of the Fund are either exchange traded or government securities that have widely disseminated mark to market pricing.
On April 9, 2009 the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which was subsequently incorporated into FASB ASC 820. ASC 820 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The Fund has adopted this statement as of the reporting period ended June 30, 2009 and believes that there have been no circumstances to date in which its application would have had an impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

The Fund utilizes various inputs used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s assets at fair value are:

(5) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Accordingly, it applies to all entities. ASC 815 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and their related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Fund adopted ASC 815 on January 1, 2009, and has determined that the application of this Statement did not have any impact on its disclosure.
The following is a summary of the fair value of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, categorized by risk exposure, as of September 30, 2009:

(6) Financial Instrument Risk
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The financial instruments used by the Fund are commodity futures, whose values are based upon an underlying asset and generally represent future commitments to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash or through physical delivery. These instruments are traded on an exchange and are standardized contracts.

Table of Contents

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including fluctuations in commodity prices. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interest positions at the same time, and the Managing Owner was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of an exchange clearinghouse to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as counterparty to the transactions. The Fund’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments.
The Fund and the Master Fund have not utilized, nor do they expect to utilize in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business.
(7) Share Purchases and Redemptions
(a) Purchases
Shares may be purchased from the Fund only by certain eligible financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”) in one or more blocks of 50,000 Shares, called Baskets. The Fund will issue Shares in Baskets only to Authorized Participants continuously as of noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the date on which a valid order to create a Basket is accepted by the Fund, at the net asset value of 50,000 Shares as of the closing time of the NYSE Arca or the last to close of the exchanges on which the Index Commodities are traded, whichever is later, on the date that a valid order to create a Basket is accepted by the Fund.
(b) Redemptions
On any business day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Distributor to redeem one or more Baskets. Redemption orders must be placed by 10:00 a.m., New York time. The day on which the Distributor receives a valid redemption order is the redemption order date. The redemption procedures allow only Authorized Participants to purchase and redeem Baskets. Individual Shareholders may not redeem Shares directly from the Fund.
By placing a redemption order, an Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the Baskets to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system to the Fund not later than noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date. By placing a redemption order, and prior to receipt of the redemption distribution, an Authorized Participant’s DTC account will be charged the nonrefundable transaction fee due for the redemption order.
The redemption distribution from the Fund consists of the cash redemption amount. The cash redemption amount is equal to the net asset value of the number of Basket(s) requested in the Authorized Participant’s redemption order as of the closing time of the NYSE Arca or the last to close of the exchanges on which the Index Commodities are traded, whichever is later, on the redemption order date. The Fund will distribute the cash redemption amount at noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date through DTC to the account of the Authorized Participant as recorded on DTC’s book entry system.

Table of Contents

The redemption distribution due from the Fund is delivered to the Authorized Participant at noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date if, by such time on such business day immediately following the redemption order date, the Fund’s DTC account has been credited with the Baskets to be redeemed. If the Fund’s DTC account has not been credited with all of the Baskets to be redeemed by such time, the redemption distribution is delivered to the extent of whole Baskets received. Any remainder of the redemption distribution is delivered on the next business day to the extent of remaining whole Baskets received if the Administrator receives the fee applicable to the extension of the redemption distribution date which the Managing Owner may, from time to time, determine and the remaining Baskets to be redeemed are credited to the Fund’s DTC account by noon, New York time, on such next business day. Any further outstanding amount of the redemption order shall be canceled. The Administrator is also authorized to deliver the redemption distribution notwithstanding that the Baskets to be redeemed are not credited to the Fund’s DTC account by noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date if the Authorized Participant has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Baskets through DTC’s book entry system on such terms as the Administrator and the Managing Owner may from time to time agree upon.
The Distributor may, in its discretion, and will when directed by the Managing Owner, suspend the right of redemption or postpone the redemption settlement date, (1) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which the redemption distribution is not reasonably practicable, or (2) for such other period as the Managing Owner determines to be necessary for the protection of the Shareholders. In addition, the Distributor will reject a redemption order if the order is not in proper form as described in the Participant Agreement or if the fulfillment of the order, in the opinion of its counsel, might be unlawful. Any such postponement, suspension or rejection could adversely affect a redeeming Authorized Participant. For example, the resulting delay may adversely affect the value of the Authorized Participant’s redemption proceeds if the net asset value of the Fund declines during the period of the delay. Under the Distribution Services Agreement, the Managing Owner and the Distributor may disclaim any liability for any loss or damage that may result from any such suspension or postponement.
(8) Operating Expenses, Organizational and Offering Costs
(a) Management Fee
The Master Fund pays the Managing Owner a management fee (the “Management Fee”) monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.85% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund. No separate management fee will be paid by the Fund. The Management Fee will be paid in consideration of the use of the license for the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index held by GreenHaven, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company formed in August 2005, and its subsidiary GreenHaven Commodity Services, LLC, as well as for commodity futures trading advisory services. The management fee incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and period (starting from when trading commenced on January 23, 2008) ended September 30, 2008 was $581,988 and $154,655, respectively, and the management fee incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was $302,194 and $54,359, respectively. This fee was charged to the Fund and paid to the Managing Owner.
(b) Organization and Offering Expenses
Expenses incurred in connection with organizing the Fund and the Master Fund and the offering of the Shares will be paid by GreenHaven, LLC. GreenHaven, LLC is the sole member of the Managing Owner. The Fund and the Master Fund do not have an obligation to reimburse GreenHaven, LLC or its affiliates for organization and offering expenses paid on their behalf.
(c) Brokerage Commissions and Fees
The Master Fund pays to the Commodity Broker all brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading activities. On average, total charges paid to the Commodity Broker are expected to be less than $15 per round-turn trade. A round-turn trade is a buy and sell pair. The Managing Owner does not expect brokerage commissions and fees to exceed 0.24% of the net asset value of the Master Fund in any year. Brokerage commissions and fees will be charged against the Master Fund’s Assets on a per transaction basis on the date of the transaction. The brokerage commissions and trading fees incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and period (starting from when trading commenced on January 23, 2008) ended September 30, 2008 were $164,326 and $45,280, respectively, and the brokerage commissions and trading fees for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were $85,325 and $15,348, respectively. These fees were charged to the Fund and paid to the Commodity Broker. Brokerage commissions and trading fees are typically charged by the Commodity Broker to the Fund on a half-turn basis, i.e. half is charged when a contract is opened and half is charged when a position is closed. Currently, the Fund accrues monthly an amount equal to .02% of the net asset value of the Master Fund.

(12) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC, or the Codification) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB for non-governmental entities. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. The Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification did not change rules and interpretations of the SEC which are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Because the Codification did not change GAAP, the Codification had no impact on our consolidated financial statements or footnotes.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Codification 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires non-controlling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with non-controlling interest holders. ASC 810 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. ASC 810 will be applied prospectively to all non-controlling interests including any that arose before the effective date and presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Fund adopted ASC 810 on January 1, 2009, and has determined that the application of the Statement did not have any impact on its results of operation and financial position.
On April 9, 2009 the FASB issued issued ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The Fund has adopted this Statement as of the three month reporting period ended June 30, 2009 and believes that its disclosures and valuation methodology have been in compliance with this Statement.
On June 30, 2009, the Fund adopted ASC 855-10-50 “Subsequent Events — Disclosure” (Subsequent Events Standard), which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. The Subsequent Events Standard defines two types of subsequent events. The effects of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, are recognized in the financial statements. The effects of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date are not recognized in the financial statements. The fund has reviewed subsequent events through November 9, 2009 (the date of the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
(13) Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 825, the Managing Owner evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 up through November 9, 2009, the date these financial statements were issued. During this period, there were 600,000 Limited Shares created and 2,050,000 shares redeemed resulting in the Fund having 6,900,000 total Limited Shares outstanding as of November 9, 2009.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview / Introduction
The initial offering period began and ended on January 23, 2008 during which time 350,000 shares were sold at $30 per share for total proceeds of $10,500,000. The entire proceeds were received by the Fund which then invested them in the Master Fund. Shares were then listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange on January 24, 2008, marking the beginning of the continuous offering period. The ticker symbol of the Fund is GCC.
Performance Summary
There is no performance history prior to the beginning of trading on January 24, 2008. For performance history subsequent to the beginning of trading, see item (11) of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements of September 30, 2009, above.
Net Asset Value
The Administrator calculates a daily Net Asset Value per share of the Fund, based on closing prices of the underlying futures contracts. The first such calculation was as of market close on January 24, 2008, the first day of trading on the NYSE Arca, formerly the American Stock Exchange. Values of the underlying Index are computed by Thomson Reuters America, LLC, and disseminated by NYSE Arca every fifteen (15) seconds during the trading day. Only settlement and last-sale prices are used in the Index’s calculation, bids and offers are not recognized — including limit-bid and limit-offer price quotes. Where no last-sale price exists, typically in the more deferred contract months, the previous days’ settlement price is used. This means that the underlying Index may lag its theoretical value. This tendency to lag is evident at the end of the day when the Index value is based on the settlement prices of the component commodities, and explains why the underlying Index often closes at or near the high or low for the day.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Fund’s critical accounting policies are as follows:
Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates, and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expense and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Fund’s application of these policies involves judgments and actual results may differ from the estimates used.
The Master Fund holds a significant portion of its assets in futures contracts and United States Treasury Obligations, both of which will be recorded on a trade date basis and at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of income and expenses. Generally, fair values are based on quoted market closing prices. However, when market closing prices are not available, the Managing Owner may value an asset of the Master Fund pursuant to policies the Managing Owner has adopted, which are consistent with normal industry standards.

Table of Contents

The use of fair value to measure financial instruments, with related unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings in each period is fundamental to the Fund’s financial statements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).
The Fund adopted Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), effective January 1, 2008. In determining fair value of United States Treasury Obligations and commodity futures contracts, the Fund uses unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
When market closing prices are not available, the Managing Owner may value an asset of the Master Fund pursuant to policies the Managing Owner has adopted, which are consistent with normal industry standards. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gain (loss) on open positions are determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the consolidated statement of income and expenses in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively.
Interest income on United States Treasury Obligations is recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the United States Treasury Obligations.
Liquidity
The Managing Owner knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Fund’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Capital Resources
The Fund had no commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2009. Currently, the Fund invests only in U.S Treasury bills and in long positions in exchange-traded commodity futures contracts. Therefore, it has no expectation of entering into commitments for capital expenditures at any time in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2009 the Fund had no commitments or contractual obligations other than its long positions in futures contracts as detailed in the included Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Typically, those positions require the Fund to deposit initial margin funds with its Commodity Brokers in amounts equal to approximately 10% of the notional value of the contracts. In addition, the Fund may be required to make additional margin deposits if prices fall for the underlying commodities. Since the Fund is unleveraged, it holds in reserve the shareholder funds not required for margin and invests these in U.S. Treasury bills. These funds are available to meet variation margin calls.
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The financial instruments used by the Fund are commodity futures, whose values are based upon an underlying asset and generally represent future commitments which have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash or through physical delivery. The financial instruments are traded on an exchange and are standardized contracts.
The Fund has not utilized, nor does it expect to utilize in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind, The Fund’s contractual obligations are with the Managing Owner and the Commodity Broker. Management Fee payments made to the Managing Owner are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Master Fund’s net asset value. Commission payments to the Commodity Broker are on a contract-by-contract, or round-turn, basis. As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as net asset values are not known until a future date.

(PERFORMANCE GRAPH)
The Fund and the Master Fund seek to track changes in the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index-Total Return, or the “Index”, over time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and period ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s Net Asset Value outperformed the Index by 2.15% and 1.04%, respectively.
ITEM 3.  
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Introduction
The Fund aims to track the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index, which consists of seventeen commodities and is rebalanced daily. Due to the rebalancing, the Fund on a given day holds an equal amount of each of the seventeen index components. Thus, the exposure of the Fund to a given component remains over time very close to 1/17, or 5.88%. Unless the Index Owner (Thomson Reuters) changes the construction of the Index, the Fund will maintain the same allocation to the same commodities. The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the commodity futures and other assets held by the Master Fund and fluctuations in the price of these assets could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares. The Shares are designed to reflect, as closely as possible, the performance of the Index through the Master Fund’s portfolio of exchange-traded futures on the Index Commodities. The value of the Shares relate directly to the value of the portfolio, less the liabilities (including estimated accrued but unpaid expenses) of the Fund and the Master Fund. The price of the Index Commodities may fluctuate widely based on many factors. Some of those factors are:
   
changing supply and demand relationships;
 
   
general economic activities and conditions;
 
   
weather and other environmental conditions;
 
   
acts of God;
 
   
agricultural, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments;
 
   
national and international political and economic events and policies;
 
   
changes in rates of inflation; or
 
   
the general emotions and psychology of the marketplace, which at times can be volatile and unrelated to other more tangible factors.

In addition to the factors set forth above, each commodity has risks that are inherent in the investment in such commodity.
Metals Commodities: Price movements in futures contracts held by the Master Fund in metals commodities such as gold, silver, platinum and copper are affected by many specific factors. Some of these metal specific factors include, but are not limited to:
   
A change in economic conditions, such as a recession, can adversely affect the price of both industrial and precious metals. An economic downturn may have a negative impact on the usage and demand of metals which may result in a loss for the Master Fund.
 
   
A sudden shift in political conditions of the world’s leading metal producers may have a negative effect on the global pricing of metals.
 
   
An increase in the hedging of precious metals may result in the price of precious metals to decline.
 
   
Changes in global supply and demand for industrial and precious metals.
 
   
The price and quantity of imports and exports of industrial and precious metals.
 
   
Technological advances in the processing and mining of industrial and precious metals.
Agricultural Commodities: Price movements in futures contracts held by the Master Fund in agricultural commodities, such as wheat, corn and soybeans, are affected by many factors. Some of these agricultural specific factors include, but are not limited to:
   
Farmer planting decisions, general economic, market and regulatory factors.
 
   
Weather conditions, including hurricanes, tornadoes, storms and droughts, may have a material adverse effect on crops, live cattle, live hogs and lumber, which may result in significant fluctuations in prices in such commodities.
 
   
Changes in global supply and demand for agricultural products.
 
   
The price and quantity of imports and exports of agricultural commodities.
 
   
Political conditions, including embargoes and war, in or affecting agricultural production, imports and exports.
 
   
Technological advances in agricultural production.
 
   
The price and availability of alternative agricultural commodities.
Energy Commodities: Price movements in futures contracts held by the Master Fund in energy commodities, such as crude oil, heating oil and natural gas, are subject to risks due to frequent and often substantial fluctuations in energy commodity prices. In the past, the prices of natural gas and crude oil have been extremely volatile, and the Managing Owner expects this volatility to continue. The markets and prices for energy commodities are affected by many factors. Some of those factors include, but are not limited to:
   
Changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas.
 
   
The price and quantity of imports and exports of oil and natural gas.

Table of Contents

   
Political conditions, including embargoes and war, in or affecting other oil producing activities.
 
   
The level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production.
 
   
The level of global oil and natural gas inventories, production or pricing.
 
   
Weather conditions.
 
   
Technological advances effecting energy consumption.
 
   
The price and availability of alternative fuels.
None of these factors can be controlled by the Managing Owner. Even if current and correct information as to substantially all factors are known or thought to be known, prices still will not always react as predicted. The profitability of the Fund and the Master Fund will depend on whether the Master Fund’s commodities portfolio increases in value over time. If the value increases, the Fund will only be profitable if such increases exceed the fees and expenses of the Fund. If these values do not increase, the Fund will not be profitable and will incur losses.
Quantitative Forward-looking Statements
Quantifying the Fund’s Trading Risk
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s risk exposures — except for those disclosures that are statements of historical fact — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Fund’s primary market risk exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s current market exposure will not change materially. Investors may lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Fund.
The Fund’s Risk by Market Sector
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Fund as of September 30, 2009 by market sector.
             
Grains
    17.65 %   Corn, Soybeans, Wheat
 
Livestock
    11.76 %   Hogs, Cattle
 
Metals
    23.50 %   Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper
 
Energy
    17.65 %   Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Heating Oil
 
Softs
    29.40 %   Coffee, Cocoa, Sugar, Orange Juice, Cotton
Non-Trading Risk
The Fund invests its excess funds in short-term U.S. Treasury bills. These instruments are not interest-bearing and therefore trade at a discount to their value at maturity. The Fund expects that the market risk of holding these investments is not material.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposures
The Fund is unaware of any (i) anticipated known demands, commitments or capital expenditures; (ii) material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in its capital resources; or (iii) trends or uncertainties that will have a material effect on operations.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
Under ordinary circumstances, the Managing Owner’s discretionary power is limited to determining whether the Fund will make a distribution. Under emergency or extraordinary circumstances, the Managing Owner’s discretionary powers increase, but remain circumscribed. These special circumstances, for example, include the unavailability of the Index or certain natural or man-made disasters. The Managing Owner does not apply risk management techniques. The Fund initiates positions only on the “long” side of the market and does not employ “stop-loss” techniques.
ITEM 4.  
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the Managing Owner, including its chief executive officer and principal financial officer, the Fund carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the Fund were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Fund commenced trading on January 24, 2008 and began to exercise its internal control over financial reporting thereafter. The Fund’s investing activity is limited to the purchase and sale of commodity futures contracts and of short-term U.S. Treasury bills. Futures transactions are made through Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, the Commodity Brokers, which provides the Fund with statements on a daily basis. Bank of New York, the Fund’s Custodian, reconciles the reports from Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley with its own records of Fund transactions. In addition, the Managing Owner each day reconciles its own records with those of Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of New York.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Fund made no change to its internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
