To the Partners of
CCM Small Cap Value Fund,
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CCM Small Cap Value Fund, M. (a Delaware Limited
Partnership) (the "Partnership"), which comprise the statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2012, and
the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for the year then ended (expressed
in United States dollars), and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Partnership's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of CCM Small Cap Value Fund, M. as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, changes in its
partners' capital, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

CCM SMALL CAP VALUE FUND, M.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
(Expressed in United States dollars)
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
CCM Small Cap Value Fund, M. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware Limited Partnership organized in August
1999, commenced operations on October 1, 1999. The Partnership is a feeder fund in a "master-feeder"
structure whereby the Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in CCM Master Qualified Fund, Ltd.
(the "Master Fund"), an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Attached are the
audited financial statements of the Master Fund, including the condensed schedule of investments and
significant accounting policies, which are an integral part of these financial statements.
The Partnership's general partner is Coghill Capital Management, L.L.C. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware
limited liability company. The General Partner has the general supervisory responsibility and authority for all
aspects of the Partnership's business and operations.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and are expressed in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures in
the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Partnership:
Investment Transactions and Valuation — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized and change in unrealized gains/(losses) on investments allocated from the Master Fund are recorded in
the statement of operations.
The Partnership's investment in the Master Fund is valued at fair value, which is the Partnership's proportionate
interest in the net assets of the respective share class in the Master Fund. The Master Fund's investments are
carried at fair value. The performance of the Partnership is directly related to the performance of the Master
Fund. As of December 31, 2012, the Partnership owned approximately 13% of the Class A shares of the Master
Fund, with a net asset value of $11,771,026. The valuation of investments and related disclosures held by the
Master Fund is discussed in the notes to the Master Fund's financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in banks. The Partnership
defines cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial condition as funds held in liquid investments
with original maturities of 90 days or less.
Investment Income and Expense — Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis.
Expenses — The Partnership pays its direct operating expenses, including a management fee, specific legal
fees, and other expenses, as well as incurs its proportionate share of the expenses of the Master Fund, which
includes other legal, accounting, auditing, administrative, and professional fees. The Partnership has retained
Morgan Stanley Fund Services USA LLC as the administrator to the Partnership. The General Partner pays its
own overhead expenses.
EFTA00295621
Indemnifications — Under the Partnership's organizational documents, the General Partner of the Partnership
is indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of its duties for the Partnership. In
addition, in the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts with vendors and others that
provide for general indemnifications. The Partnership's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership. However, the
Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification provisions and expects the risk
of loss to be remote.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Accounting Standards Update 2011.11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU"). The ASU
requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset when
rights of setoff exist or subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement. These
additional disclosures include the following quantitative information about such instruments: (i) the gross
amounts of those recognized assets and liabilities, (ii) the amounts offset to determine the net amounts
presented in the statement of financial condition, (iii) the net amounts presented in the statement of financial
condition, (iv) the amounts subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, (v) the amounts
related to financial collateral (including cash collateral), and (vi) the net amount after deducting the amounts in
(iv) from the amounts in (iii). The disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January I,
2013. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of these disclosures on its financial statements.
3. MANAGEMENT FEE
For all capital contributions in the Partnership made prior to September 1, 2006 ("Series One"), the General
Partner earns a quarterly management fee, payable after the last day of each calendar quarter, calculated at an
annual rate of 1% of each limited partner's capital account balance as of the end of each month during the
quarter adjusted for contributions and withdrawals made during the month. Capital contributions made after
September I, 2006 ("Series Two") are charged a management fee at an annual rate of 1.5% pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may waive or reduce the
management fee for certain affiliated limited partners.
4. ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME OR LOSS
Net income or loss, before management fees, is allocated to all partners in proportion to each partner's capital
account balance. Management fees are charged to each limited partner's capital account, as applicable.
The General Partner earns an incentive allocation of net profits, as defined in the Amended and Restated
Limited Partnership Agreement, equal to 5% of net profits attributable to capital contributions made before
April 1, 2009, provided that such allocation shall increase to 15% at such time as the limited partner has
recouped any outstanding loss carryforward amounts otherwise attributable to such capital account balance as of
November 30, 2008. For capital contributions made on or after April 1, 2009, the General Partner earns an
incentive allocation equal to 20% of net profits. Each limited partner's capital account is subject to a loss
carryforward provision such that no deduction from a limited partner's capital account is made with respect to a
fiscal year until any net loss previously allocated to the capital account has been offset by subsequent net
profits. Any such loss carryforward will also be proportionately reduced for any limited partner's withdrawal.
The General Partner may waive or reduce the incentive allocation for certain affiliated limited partners. For the
year ended December 31, 2012, the General Partner earned an incentive allocation of $4,152.
5. INVESTMENTS
Fair Value Measurements — The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund. The
classification of the Master Fund's investments in the fair value levels is discussed in the notes to the financial
statements of the Master Fund.
Derivative Financial Instruments — During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership did not
directly invest in any derivative financial instruments. Investments are made via the Master Fund which may
EFTA00295622
utilize derivative financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks. Disclosures related to the Master Fund's
investment in derivative financial instruments are discussed in the notes to the financial statements of the
Master Fund. Leverage may also be used by the General Partner. However, the Partnership's exposure to such
risks is limited to the amounts of its investment in and due from the Master Fund.
6. TAXATION
Each partner is individually responsible for reporting income or loss, to the extent required by the federal and
state income tax laws and regulations, based upon its respective share of the Partnership's income and expense
as reported for income tax purposes.
The Partnership reviews and evaluates tax positions in its major jurisdictions and determines whether or not
there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this review, the
Partnership has determined the major tax jurisdictions as where the Partnership is organized and where the
Partnership makes investments; however, no provisions for uncertain tax positions were required to have been
recorded for any of the Partnership's open tax years. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been
recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership's tax returns remain open for examination
by tax authorities for a period of three years from when they are filed.
7. PARTNERS' CAPITAL
The partnership interests are divided into Series One interests and Series Two interests. Except with respect to
participation in new issues, all limited partners generally will participate in all investments of the Partnership in
the same manner. The only distinction between Series One and Series Two is the annual rate charged for
management fees.
Capital Contributions — The General Partner will generally admit additional limited partners or accept
additional capital contributions from existing limited partners on the first day of each month and at such other
times selected by the General Partner. Advance contributions consist of cash received prior to December 31 for
which partner interests of the Partnership will be issued on the subsequent January 1. Advanced contributions
do not participate in the earnings of the Partnership until the related partner interests are issued. There were
$200,000 of advance contributions as of December 31, 2012.
Capital Withdrawals— Limited partners may withdraw all or a portion of their capital accounts attributable to a
particular capital contribution as of the last day of any calendar quarter pursuant to written notice that must
actually be received by the Partnership at least 120 days' prior to the withdrawal date (i.e., 120 days' prior to
the relevant calendar quarter end); provided, however, that during the period beginning as of the date of a
particular capital contribution and ending on the second anniversary of such capital contribution, withdrawals
relating to any particular capital contribution will be subject to a withdrawal fee in accordance with the
following schedule and payable to the Partnership:
•
3% for withdrawals made during the first 12 months a capital contribution is invested;
•
2% for withdrawals made during the next 6 months a capital contribution is invested;
•
1% for withdrawals made during the next 6 months a capital contribution is invested;
•
no withdrawals fee for withdrawals made thereafter.
There were no redemption fees charged in the current year.
Certain limited partners are employees or related to employees of the General Partner and represent
approximately 6% of total partners' capital as of December 31, 2012.
EFTA00295623
8. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The ratios to average limited partners' capital and other supplemental information for the year ended
December 31, 2012, are represented by the following:
Ratios to average limited partners' capital
Total expenses
Incentive allocation
Total expenses and incentive allocation
Net investment loss
3.91 %
0.03
3.94%
(2.38)%
The net investment loss and total expenses ratios are computed based upon the monthly average
limited partners' capital. Total expenses include the Partnership's prorated investment expenses
and operating expenses from the Master Fund and total Partnership expenses. The total expenses ratio,
excluding investment expenses, is 2.19%. Net investment loss ratio includes the Partnership's
prorated net investment loss allocated from the Master Fund and total Partemship expenses and
excludes the incentive allocation.
Total return:
Total return before incentive allocation
8.82%
Incentive allocation
(0.03)
Total return after incentive allocation
8.79 %
Total return is calculated for all limited partners taken as a whole, subject to management fees and incentive
allocation arrangements (as applicable), and utilizes geometrically linked returns based on cash flows that
consider the timing of capital contributions or withdrawals during the year. An individual partner's return and
ratios may vary from these returns and ratios based on different management fees and incentive allocation
arrangements (as applicable) and the timing of capital transactions.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events through March 14, 2013, the date these financial statements were available to be issued, have

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
(Expressed in United States dollars)
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
CCM Master Qualified Fund, Ltd. (the "Company") is an open-ended investment company incorporated in the
Cayman Islands on September 5, 2003 and was registered under the Mutual Funds Law of the Cayman Islands
on February 15, 2012. The Company's investment manager is Coghill Capital Management, L.L.C.
(the "Investment Manager"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Investment Manager has the general
supervisory responsibility and authority for all aspects of the Company's investment activities.
The Investment Manager of the Company also serves as the general partner of CCM Asian Small Cap Value
Fund, M. ("Asian Fund"). As of December 31, 2012, the Company owns 85.18% of Asian Fund, whose
financial statements, including the condensed schedule of investments and significant accounting policies, are
attached to this report and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company is a "master" in a "master-feeder" structure whereby the "feeders" invest substantially all of their
assets in the Company. As of Decembers,.Ith 2012, there were three feeders: CCM Small Cap Value Fund, M.;
CCM Small Cap Value Qualified Fund, M.; and CCM Small Cap Value Fund, Ltd.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and are expressed in United States dollars.
Consolidation Accounting — the consolidated financial statements include amounts of the Company and its two
wholly owned subsidiaries, CCM SPV I, Ltd. and CCM SPV III, LLC. All inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include the valuation of certain securities and derivative financial instruments. Because of
the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that
would have been used had a ready market for the securities and derivative financial instruments existed, and the
differences could be material.
The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:
Security Transactions and Valuation — Investment assets and liabilities are valued at fair value. In
determining fair value, the existence of an active market is considered, which is defined by the Company as a
market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide
pricing information on an ongoing basis. Investments in securities traded on a recognized national securities
exchange or reported on other national markets are valued at the last reported sales price as of the valuation day.
If no sale occurred on such day but there are observable market inputs available, such as "bid" and "offer"
prices, the bid price is used for long investments in securities and the offer price is used for securities sold, not
yet purchased at the close of business on such day.
- 10 -
EFTA00295636
Securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange or reported on other national markets, but that are
traded among broker-dealers and other institutional investors in over-the-counter ("OTC') markets, are
recorded at fair value using current market quotations provided by such broker-dealers and, where available.
external pricing sources. Restricted securities and certain other securities, for which quotations are not readily
available, are valued at fair value based on market participant assumptions made by the Company, recent
transactions, and/or market comparables. Securities for which there are legal or contractual restrictions are
valued at fair value as determined above less a discount for these restrictions.
Fair market value for all other securities is determined in good faith under valuation policy adopted by the
Investment Manager in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values. Generally, the Investment Manager
primarily relies on the discounted cash flow analysis ("DCF') and option valuation model ("Option Model")
("Valuation Techniques") in the absence of a market transaction with the investment itself. The Valuation
Techniques rely on a combination of significant assumptions and inputs related to the specific investment type
by enterprise. DCF utilizes an enterprise's historical and projected financial information as well as available
market information from comparable enterprises, including market multiples from comparable enterprises
applied on key performance metrics, such as net operating profit, to determine terminal value. Option Model
utilizes volatility of the underlying reference security that is typically determined based on volatilities of
comparable publicly traded securities or indices. If available, the Investment Manager also utilizes relevant
information, such as pending or recent market and financing transactions, in the determination of fair value.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are
calculated using the specific identification method and are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security.
When the Company sells securities sold, not yet purchased, it must borrow the securities sold, not yet purchased
and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the transaction. A realized gain, limited to the price at
which the Company sold the securities sold, not yet purchased, or a realized loss, unlimited in size, will be
recognized upon the termination of a short sale. A stock loan fee is paid to the broker-dealer as part of this
transaction and is expensed upon initiation of the transaction.
Derivative Financial Instruments —The Company may trade derivative financial instruments such as equity
swaps, options, and warrants and rights, which are recorded at fair value at the reporting date. These derivative
financial instruments are described more fully in note 3. Derivative financial instruments are generally based
upon notional values. Notional values are not recorded on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities,
but rather are utilized solely as a basis for determining future cash flows to be exchanged. Therefore, notional
amounts provide a measure of the Company's involvement with such instruments, but are not fully indicative of
potential risk. Realized and unrealized changes in fair values are included in realized and change in unrealized
gains/(losses) on investments in securities, securities sold, not yet purchased, derivative contracts, and foreign
currency transactions in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the changes occur. The
fair value on all derivative financial instruments at the reporting date is included in the consolidated statement
of assets and liabilities.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments at the reporting date generally reflects the amount that the
Company would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date. Many derivative financial
instruments are exchange traded or are traded in the OTC market where fair values are readily determinable.
Certain derivative financial instruments, which are not exchange traded and for which fair values are not readily
available, are valued at fair value based on pricing models.
Fair value of open equity swap contracts is calculated as the change in fair value of the underlying equity
security, financial instrument, basket of securities or financial instruments, or index, using pricing from the
relevant underlying market from sources such as Bloomberg. This change in fair value is then applied to the
notional amount of the equity swap. The existence of an active market of the underlying instrument(s) is
considered in determining the fair value of the equity swap.
Options and warrants and rights traded in the OTC market are recorded at fair value using current market
quotations provided by external pricing sources, counterparties or using pricing models.
EFTA00295637
Securities Lending — The Company has entered into a tri-party agreement (the "Agreement") with its prime
broker ("Borrower") and a third party custodian ("Custodian") for the purpose of lending its fully paid for
securities. Due to the nature of the Company's portfolio (mainly small cap securities) the Company seldom
engages in securities lending. To the extent that the Company does lend securities, in accordance with the
Agreement, the Borrower pledges and maintains with the Custodian collateral consisting of cash or securities
issued by the United States Treasury. For the benefit of the Company, the Custodian receives collateral equal to
or greater than the fair value of the securities loaned. To mitigate counterparty credit risk related to the
securities loaned, securities are marked to fair value on a daily basis and correspondingly, cash flows are
exchanged and/or securities are transferred between the Borrower and Custodian to satisfy the resulting changes
in collateral requirements. The risks of securities lending include the risk that the Borrower may not provide
additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. As of December 31, 2012, the
Company did not have any securities on loan. Income related to securities lending transactions is included as
interest income on the consolidated statement of operations.
Limited Partnership Interests — The Company values interests in limited partnerships at fair value using
information provided by the underlying managers, including the net asset value provided by the fund manager,
implied valuations from recent capital transactions, relative valuation to public comparables, or common
intrinsic valuation techniques. On a qualitative basis, the Company also reviews management's progress against
pre-determined goals. The Company may also apply a discount to reflect liquidity, legal restrictions on sale, or
other risk factors. The Company does not have any future commitments to fund any of its limited partnership
interests.
Unrealized Gains on Derivative Assets — The Company has entered into certain total return equity swap
agreements (the "Swaps") with a single counterparty relating to long equity securities (the "Reference
Securities"). Under the terms of these Swaps (i) the Company is obligated to pay to the counterparty any capital
depreciation of the Reference Securities as of maturity, plus interest, and (ii) the counterparty is obligated to pay
to the Company any capital appreciation on the Reference Securities as of maturity. As of December 31, 2012,
there were unrealized gains of $299,769 on the Swaps.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in banks. The Company
defines cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as funds held in liquid
investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.
Due From/To Broker— Due from broker includes receivables for trades pending settlement, as well as cash
and margin balances held at the broker. Balance includes cash of $41,032,354 and cash denominated in foreign
currencies of ($12,281,569) that has a cost of ($13,122,649). Margin balances are collateralized by certain of
the Company's securities and cash balances held by the broker. The Company pays interest on any outstanding
margin balance, which is calculated as the daily margin account balance times the broker's margin interest rate.
Of the total balance due from broker, $28,750,785 represents cash held as collateral. As of December 31, 2012,
trades pending settlement comprised $2,443,845 of the due from broker balance and the entire due to broker
balance.
Investment Income and Expense — Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is presented
net of withholding tax. Dividends declared on securities sold, not yet purchased held on the ex-dividend date are
recorded as dividend expense. Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis except for
securities in default for which interest is recognized on a cash basis. The Company utilizes the effective yield
method to amortize or accrete income on securities purchased at a premium or discount to par value.
Expenses — The Company pays its direct operating expenses, including legal, accounting, auditing, and other
professional fees, as well as all investment-related expenses and other operating costs. The Investment Manager
pays its own overhead expenses. The Company has retained Morgan Stanley Fund Services (Bermuda) Ltd. as
administrator to the Company.
- 12 -
EFTA00295638
Foreign Currency — Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into United States dollar amounts at exchange rates at the reporting date. Purchases and sales of
investment securities, foreign currencies and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into United States dollar amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions.
Included in net realized gains on investments in securities, securities sold, not yet purchased, derivative
contracts, and foreign currency transactions are foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign
currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and the settlement dates on securities
transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Company's books and the United States dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid.
Indemnifications — Under the Company's organizational documents, the Investment Manager and Board of
Directors of the Company are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties for the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts with
vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company.
However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification provisions and
expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
li abilities. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that
are either offset when rights of setoff exist or subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar
agreement. These additional disclosures include the following quantitative information about such instruments:
(i) the gross amounts of those recognized assets and liabilities, (ii) the amounts offset to determine the net
amounts presented in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, (iii) the net amounts presented in the
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, (iv) the amounts subject to a master netting arrangement or
similar agreement, (v) the amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral), and (vi) the net
amount after deducting the amounts in (iv) from the amounts in (iii). The disclosures are effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these
disclosures on its consolidated financial statements.
3. INVESTMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC") Topic 820 ("ASC Topic 820"), the Company defines fair value as "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." The transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability is a hypothetical transaction at the
measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the
liability. Therefore, the definition of fair value in ASC Topic 820 focuses on the price that would be received to
sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (i.e., an "exit" price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the
asset or received to assume the liability (i.e., an "entry" price). ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchal
disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring
investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of
investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace, including the
existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available
active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market
generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in
measuring fair value.
- 13 -
EFTA00295639
Investment and derivative assets and liabilities, measured and reported at fair value, are classified and disclosed
in one of the following categories:
Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.
The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivative financial
instruments. As required by ASC Topic 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted prices for these
investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably
impact the quoted price.
Level II — 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 that are generally included in this category include corporate
bonds, restricted equity securities, certain OTC derivative financial instruments, and other non-listed
securities.
Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if
any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant
judgment or estimation. Investments that are generally included in this category include limited partnership
interests, securities in private companies, and distressed debt.
When more than one input is used to measure fair value, and the inputs fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy, the level within which the investment is categorized is based on the lowest level of input (Level III
being the lowest) that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company'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 following table summarizes the Company's classification of investment and derivative assets and liabilities.

The Company's policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. There
were no transfers between levels I and II during the year. Transfers of 3,756,571 within Level III are related to
the conversion of certain corporate bonds into common stock and corporate bonds.
Investments classified as Level III are valued on a monthly basis by the Investment Manager. The Investment
Manager seeks to utilize a valuation methodology in each case that it believes will provide a price
representative of fair value for the particular investment. That methodology includes utilization of independent
pricing sources and other inputs, where available, or use of valuation models developed by the Investment
Manager. A thorough review of the data inputs, assumptions and any relevant market transactions is performed
as of each monthly valuation date.
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the majority of
its investments categorized within Level III as of December 31, 2012. The table is not intended to be all-
inclusive, but instead describes the significant unobservable inputs relevant to our determination of fair values.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk Management — In the normal course of
business, the Company may buy and sell derivative financial instruments, including equity swaps, options, and
warrants and rights whose fair values are based upon an underlying asset, and generally represent future
commitments to exchange cash flows or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified future dates.
A derivative financial instrument may be traded on an exchange or negotiated OTC between contracting parties.
The Swaps used by the Company are OTC derivative financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments are subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial
instruments, including market, credit, and counterparty risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments
in the normal course of its business to take proprietary trading positions. Swap arrangements may be used by
the Company to initiate investment positions. The Company manages the risks associated with derivative
financial instruments along with its proprietary activities in cash instruments within the Company's overall risk
management framework. To manage these risks, the Company monitors exposure daily, adjusting positions
where deemed necessary. Counterparty risk relates to certainty of payment by the counterparty. The Company
manages this risk by monitoring the credit worthiness of its counterparty.
- 16 -
EFTA00295642
The Company is subject to market and credit risk associated with changes in the fair value of the underlying
financial instruments, as well as the loss of appreciation if a counterparty should fail to perform. The Investment
Manager takes an active role in managing and controlling the Company's market and counterparty risks and has
established procedures, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Market risk is the potential change in an instrument's fair value caused by fluctuations in interest rates, security
prices, credit spreads, or other risks. Exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the
relationships between financial instruments and the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the financial
instruments are traded. The Company also sells various financial instruments that have not yet been purchased
("securities sold, not yet purchased"). The Company is exposed to market risk for those securities sold, not yet
purchased. If the fair value of a security sold, not yet purchased increases, the Company's obligation, reflected
as a liability on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, would increase, thereby reducing earnings.
Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The
Company's exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance is limited to the current cost to
replace all contracts in which the Company has an unrealized gain. The Company clears its exchange traded
equity and non•exchange traded derivative transactions through Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. In the
event these clearing brokers do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The
Investment Manager attempts to minimize this risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of its clearing brokers.
Estimated credit risk exposure with respect to the Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments is
$299,769 as of December 31, 2012.
Since the Company does not clear its own investment transactions, it has established an account with a
brokerage firm for this purpose. The resulting concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the broker's obligation
to comply with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also
regularly reviews the credit quality and credit limit extended to each of the counterparties with which it chooses
to conduct business.
The Company may enter into Swaps that involve the exchange by the Company with another party of their
respective commitments to pay or receive from the counterparty a net amount based on the change in fair value
of an underlying equity security, financial instrument, basket of securities or financial instruments, or index and
a specified notional holding. The use of these contracts exposes the Company to market risks equivalent to
actually holding securities or instruments of the notional value but typically involve little capital commitment
relative to the exposure achieved. The gains and losses of the Company may therefore be magnified on the
capital commitment. Entering into Swaps involves varying degrees of risk, including credit risk arising from the
potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts, the risk that there will be no liquid
market for these agreements, and the risk that there will be unfavorable changes in the fair value of the
underlying instrument.
The Company may enter into option contracts that provide the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation,
to buy or sell a security or financial instrument at a predetermined exercise price during a defined period. The
option purchaser pays a premium to the option writer for the right to exercise the option. The option writer is
obligated to buy or sell the item underlying the contract at a set price if the option purchaser chooses to exercise
the option. Option contracts also exist for various indices and are similar to options on a security except that,
rather than settling physically with delivery of the underlying instrument, they are settled in cash. As a
purchaser of an option contract, the Company is subject to credit risk since the counterparty is obligated to
make payments under the terms of the option contract if the Company exercises the option. As a purchaser of an
option contract, the Company is only subject to market risk to the extent of the premium paid. As a writer of an
option contract, the Company is not subject to credit risk but is subject to market risk, since the Company is
obligated to make payments under the terms of the option contract if exercised. The Company uses exchange-
traded contracts that have standardized terms and performance mechanics.
The Company holds warrants and rights which grant the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a
security or financial instrument at a predetermined price within a specified period of time or on a specific date.
The issuer is obligated to sell the item underlying the contract at a set price if the holder chooses to exercise the
warrant or right. The Company is subject to credit risk since the counterparty is obligated to comply with the
terms of the contract if the Company exercises the warrant or right.

4. TAXATION
The Company has been registered as an exempted company pursuant to the Companies Law of the Cayman
Islands. No local income, profits, or capital gains taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the current time;
however, the Company has received an undertaking from the Cayman Islands' Government that, for a period of
twenty years from October 21, 2003, the Company will be exempt from taxation in the Cayman Islands. The
only taxes payable by the Company on its income are withholding taxes applicable to certain income.
The Company reviews and evaluates tax positions in its major jurisdictions and determines whether or not there
are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this review, the Company has
determined the major tax jurisdictions as where the Company is organized and where the Company makes
investments; however, no provisions for uncertain tax positions were required to have been recorded. The
Company's tax returns remain open for examination by tax authorities for a period of three years from when
they are filed. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
5. SHAREHOLDER ACTIVITY
The authorized share capital of the Company is $50,000 divided into 5,000,000 common shares of $0.01 par
value each. The common shares can be divided into two classes; Class A and Class B. Class A Shares are
offered to non-restricted persons who do not fall within the rules of the U.S. National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. relating to purchases of new securities. Class B Shares are offered to restricted persons who fall
within such provisions or select not to participate in any purchases of new issues. Outstanding common shares
carry voting rights and participate pro rata in the profits of the Company. As of December 31, 2012, all common
shares outstanding were Class A shares.

To the Partners of
CCM Asian Small Cap Value Fund,
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CCM Asian Small Cap Value Fund, M. (a Delaware
Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership"), which comprise the statement of financial condition, including the
condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital, and cash flows for the year then ended (expressed in United States dollars), and the related notes to
the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Partnership's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of CCM Asian Small Cap Value Fund,
as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' capital, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

CCM ASIAN SMALL CAP VALUE FUND, M.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
(Expressed in United States dollars)
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
CCM Asian Small Cap Value Fund,
(the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, was organized in
January 2010 and commenced operations on February I, 2010.
The Partnership's general partner is Coghill Capital Management, L.L.C. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware
limited liability company. The General Partner has the general supervisory responsibility and authority for all
aspects of the Partnership's business and operations.
The Partnership's primary objective is to seek capital appreciation over the long-term. The Partnership holds
both long and short positions with a particular focus on Japanese and other Asian or Asian-related equities. The
Partnership employs a bottom-up, fundamental analysis approach to seek to identify under- and over-valued
companies in the small cap universe. Through a qualitative research process, the General Partner refines this
universe to identify a select group of undervalued issuers on the long side, and a group that is overvalued with
fundamental flaws in their underlying businesses on the short side. Identifying specific, time-bound catalysts for
securities price movement is the key element driving the General Partner's research process.
The General Partner of the Partnership also serves as the investment manager of CCM Master Qualified Fund,
Ltd. ("CCM MQF"). As of December 31, 2012, CCM MQF owns 85.18% of the Partnership. As CCM MQF is
an entity under common control, it does not pay a management fee or incentive allocation.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and are expressed in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures in
the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include the valuation of certain securities and derivative financial instruments. Because of
the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that
would have been used had a ready market for the securities and derivative financial instruments existed, and the
differences could be material.
The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Partnership:
Security Transactions and Valuation — Investment assets and liabilities are valued at fair value. In
determining fair value, the existence of an active market is considered, which is defined by the Partnership as a
market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide
pricing information on an ongoing basis. Investments in securities traded on a recognized national securities
exchange or reported on other national markets are valued at the last reported sales price as of the valuation day.
If no sale occurred on such day but there are observable market inputs available, such as "bid" and "offer"
prices, the bid price is used for long investments in securities and the offer price is used for securities sold, not
yet purchased at the close of business on such day.
- 10 -
EFTA00295657
Securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange or reported on other national markets, but that are
traded among broker-dealers and other institutional investors in over-the-counter ("OTC") markets, are
recorded at fair value using current market quotations provided by such broker-dealers and, where available,
external pricing sources. Restricted securities and certain other securities, for which quotations are not readily
available, are valued at fair value based on market participant assumptions made by the Partnership, using
pricing models, recent transactions, and/or market comparables. Securities for which there are legal or
contractual restrictions are valued at fair value as determined above less a discount for these restrictions.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are
calculated using the specific identification method and are recorded in the statement of operations.
The Partnership may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security.
When the Partnership sells securities sold, not yet purchased, it must borrow the securities sold, not yet
purchased and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the transaction. A realized gain, limited to
the price at which the Partnership sold the securities sold, not yet purchased, or a realized loss, unlimited in size,
will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. A stock loan fee is paid to the broker-dealer as part of
this transaction and is expensed upon initiation of the transaction.
Derivative Financial Instruments — The Partnership may trade derivative financial instruments such as equity
swaps, options, futures, and certain warrants and rights, which are recorded at fair value at the reporting date.
These derivative financial instruments are described more fully in note 3. Derivative financial instruments are
generally based upon notional values. Notional values are not recorded in the statement of financial condition,
but rather are utilized solely as a basis for determining future cash flows to be exchanged. Therefore, notional
amounts provide a measure of the Partnership's involvement with such instruments, but are not fully indicative
of potential risk. Realized and unrealized changes in fair values are included in realized and change in
unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in securities, securities sold, not yet purchased, and foreign currency
transactions in the statement of operations in the period in which the changes occur. The fair value on all
derivative financial instruments at the reporting date is included in the statement of financial condition.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments at the reporting date generally reflects the amount that the
Partnership would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date. Many derivative financial
instruments are exchange traded or are traded in the OTC market where fair values are readily determinable.
Certain derivative financial instruments, which are not exchange traded and for which fair values are not readily
available, are valued at fair value based on pricing models.
Fair value of open equity swap contracts is calculated as the change in fair value of the underlying equity
security, financial instrument, basket of securities or financial instruments, or index, using pricing from the
relevant underlying market from sources such as Bloomberg. This change in fair value is then applied to the
notional amount of the equity swap. The existence of an active market of the underlying instrument(s) is
considered in determining the fair value of the equity swap.
Fair value of open futures contracts is calculated as the difference between the contract price at trade date and
the contract's closing price on the valuation date as reported on the exchange on which the futures contracts are
traded.
Options, warrants and rights traded in the OTC market are recorded at fair value using current market
quotations provided by external pricing sources, counterparties or using pricing models.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in banks. The Partnership
defines cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial condition as funds held in liquid investments
with original maturities of 90 days or less.
EFTA00295658
Due From/To Broker — Due from broker includes cash and margin balances held at the broker. Balance
includes cash of $5,949,810 and cash denominated in foreign currencies of ($3,241,299) that has a cost of
($3,447,522). Margin balances are collateralized by certain of the Partnership's securities and cash balances
held by the broker. The Partnership pays interest on any outstanding margin balance, which is calculated as the
daily margin account balance times the broker's margin interest rate. Of the total balance due from broker,
$2,086,392 represents cash held as collateral.
As of December 31, 2012, there were no trades pending settlement.
Investment Income and Expense — Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is presented net of withholding tax. Dividends declared on
securities sold, not yet purchased held on the ex-dividend date are recorded as dividend expense.
Expenses — The Partnership pays its direct operating expenses, including legal, accounting, auditing, and other
professional fees, as well as all investment-related expenses and other operating costs. The Partnership has
retained Morgan Stanley Fund Services USA LLC as the administrator to the Partnership. The General Partner
pays its own overhead expenses. Pursuant to an agreement between CCM MQF and the General Partner, the
General Partner bears (through a special allocation of such expenses to its capital account in the Partnership or
such other manner as the General Partner shall choose) all incremental administrative expenses that CCM MQF
would otherwise incur by investing in the Partnership rather than investing in the Partnership's investments
directly.
Foreign Currency — Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into United States dollar amounts at exchange rates at the reporting date. Purchases and sales of
investment securities, foreign currencies, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into United States dollar amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions.
Included in net realized losses on investments in securities, securities sold, not yet purchased, and foreign
currency transactions are foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign currencies, currency
gains and losses realized between the trade and the settlement dates on securities transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Partnership's books and the United States dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Indemnifications — Under the Partnership's organizational documents, the General Partner of the Partnership
is indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of its duties for the Partnership. In
addition, in the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts with vendors and others that
provide for general indemnifications. The Partnership's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership. However, the
Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification provisions and expects the risk
of loss to be remote.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement— In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that
are either offset when rights of setoff exist or subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar
agreement. These additional disclosures include the following quantitative information about such instruments:
(i) the gross amounts of those recognized assets and liabilities, (ii) the amounts offset to determine the net
amounts presented in the statement of financial condition, (iii) the net amounts presented in the statement of
financial condition, (iv) the amounts subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, (v) the
amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral), and (vi) the net amount after deducting the
amounts in (iv) from the amounts in (iii). The disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
January I, 2013. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of these disclosures on its financial
statements.

3. INVESTMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC') Topic 820 ("ASC Topic 820'), the Partnership defines fair value as "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." The transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability is a hypothetical transaction at the
measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the
liability. Therefore, the definition of fair value in ASC Topic 820 focuses on the price that would be received to
sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (i.e., an "exit" price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the
asset or received to assume the liability (i.e., an "entry" price). ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchal
disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring
investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of
investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace, including the
existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available
active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market
generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in
measuring fair value.
Investment assets and liabilities, measured and reported at fair value, are classified and disclosed in one of the
following categories:
Level I— Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.
The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivative financial
instruments. As required by ASC Topic 820, the Partnership does not adjust the quoted prices for these
investments, even in situations where the Partnership holds a large position and a sale could reasonably
impact the quoted price.
Level!! — 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 that are generally included in this category include corporate
bonds, restricted equity securities, certain OTC derivative financial instruments, and other non-listed
securities.
Level III— Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if
any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant
judgment or estimation. Investments that are generally included in this category include limited partnership
interests, securities in private companies, and distressed debt.
When more than one input is used to measure fair value, and the inputs fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy, the level within which the investment is categorized is based on the lowest level of input (Level III
being the lowest) that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnership'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's policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. There
were no transfers between levels during the year.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk Management — In the normal course of
business, the Partnership may buy and sell derivative financial instruments, including equity swaps, options,
futures, and certain warrants and rights whose fair values are based upon an underlying asset, and generally
represent future commitments to exchange cash flows or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at
specified future dates. A derivative financial instrument may be traded on an exchange or negotiated OTC
between contracting parties.
Derivative financial instruments are subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial
instruments, including market, credit, and counterparty risk. The Partnership may use derivative financial
instruments in the normal course of its business to take proprietary trading positions. Counterparty risk relates
to certainty of payment by the counterparty. The Partnership manages this risk by monitoring the credit
worthiness of its counterparty.
The Partnership is subject to market and credit risk associated with changes in the fair value of the underlying
financial instruments, as well as the loss of appreciation if a counterparty should fail to perform. The General
Partner takes an active role in managing and controlling the Partnership's market and counterparty risks and has
established procedures, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Market risk is the potential change in an instrument's fair value caused by fluctuations in interest rates, security
prices, credit spreads, or other risks. Exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the
relationships between financial instruments and the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the financial
instruments are traded. The Partnership also sells various financial instruments that have not yet been purchased
("securities sold, not yet purchased"). The Partnership is exposed to market risk for those securities sold, not yet
purchased. If the fair value of a security sold, not yet purchased increases, the Partnership's obligation, reflected
as a liability on the statement of financial condition, would increase, thereby reducing earnings.
Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The
Partnership's exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance is limited to the current cost
to replace all contracts in which the Partnership has an unrealized gain. The Partnership clears its exchange
traded equity and non-exchange traded derivative transactions through Morgan Stanley. In the event the
clearing broker does not fulfill its obligations, the Partnership may be exposed to risk. The General Partner
attempts to minimize this risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of its clearing broker. Estimated credit risk
exposure with respect to the Partnership's outstanding derivative financial instruments is $0 as of December 31,
2012.
- 14 -
EFTA00295661
Since the Partnership does not clear its own investment transactions, it has established an account with a
brokerage firm for this purpose. The resulting concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the broker's obligation
to comply with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Partnership also regularly reviews the credit quality and credit limit extended to each of the counterparties with
which it chooses to conduct business.
The Partnership may enter into equity swap arrangements that involve the exchange by the Partnership with
another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive from the counterparty a net amount based on
the change in fair value of an underlying equity security, financial instrument, basket of securities or financial
instruments, or index and a specified notional holding. The use of these contracts exposes the Partnership to
market risks equivalent to actually holding securities or instruments of the notional value but typically involve
little capital commitment relative to the exposure achieved. The gains and losses of the Partnership may
therefore be magnified on the capital commitment. Entering into swap agreements involves varying degrees of
risk, including credit risk arising from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts,
the risk that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, and the risk that there will be unfavorable
changes in the fair value of the underlying instrument.
The Partnership may enter into futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Partnership agrees to
receive or deliver a fixed quantity of an underlying instrument or commodity for an agreed-upon price. The
Partnership is required to provide initial margin, which is a deposit of either cash or securities in an amount
equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. The initial margin is adjusted to reflect changes in the fair
value of the futures contract, which is recorded at fair value on a daily basis. The Partnership recognizes a
realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. Exchange traded futures contracts expose the Partnership to
market and liquidity risks. The Partnerships is exposed to market risk to the extent that adverse changes occur in
the fair values of the underlying securities, commodities or indices. Liquidity risk represents the possibility that
the Partnership may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of its futures position in times of high volatility and
financial stress at a reasonable price. In instances where financial futures contracts are used for hedging
purposes, there is the risk of imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of futures contracts and
the underlying hedged assets.
The Partnership may enter into option contracts that provide the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation,
to buy or sell a security or financial instrument at a predetermined exercise price during a defined period. The
option purchaser pays a premium to the option writer for the right to exercise the option. The option writer is
obligated to buy or sell the item underlying the contract at a set price if the option purchaser chooses to exercise
the option. Option contracts also exist for various indices and are similar to options on a security except that,
rather than settling physically with delivery of the underlying instrument, they are settled in cash. As a
purchaser of an option contract, the Partnership is subject to credit risk, since the counterparty is obligated to
make payments under the terms of the option contract if the Partnership exercises the option. As a purchaser of
an option contract, the Partnership is only subject to market risk to the extent of the premium paid. As a writer
of an option contract, the Partnership is not subject to credit risk but is subject to market risk, since the
Partnership is obligated to make payments under the terms of the option contract if exercised. The Partnership
may use exchange-traded contracts that have standardized terms and performance mechanics.
The Partnership may enter into warrants and rights, which grant the holder the right, but not the obligation, to
buy a security or financial instrument at a predetermined price within a specified period of time or on a specific
date. The issuer is obligated to sell the item underlying the contract at a set price if the holder chooses to
exercise the warrant or right. The Partnership is subject to credit risk since the counterparty is obligated to
comply with the terms of the contract if the Partnership exercises the warrant or right.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments by type is reported in the condensed schedule of investments
as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of equity options is reported in investments in securities. Balances are
presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of the impact of counterparty and collateral netting, if
applicable.

Each partner is individually responsible for reporting income or loss, to the extent required by the federal and
state income tax laws and regulations, based upon its respective share of the Partnership's income and expense
as reported for income tax purposes.
The Partnership reviews and evaluates tax positions in its major jurisdictions and determines whether or not
there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this review, the
Partnership has determined the major tax jurisdictions as where the Partnership is organized and where the
Partnership makes investments; however, no provisions for uncertain tax positions were required to have been
recorded for any of the Partnership's open tax years. The Partnership's tax returns remain open for examination
by tax authorities for a period of three years from when they are filed. As a result, no income tax liability or
expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
5. MANAGEMENT FEE
The Partnership pays the General Partner a monthly management fee in an amount equal to 0.125% (1.5% per
annum) of the net assets of the Partnership's limited partners. The management fee is paid in advance as of the
first day of each month based on the value of the Partnership's partners' capital as of the first day of each month
(adjusted for contributions and withdrawals made during the month). The General Partner, in its sole discretion
may waive or reduce the management fee for limited partners that are employees or affiliates of the General
Partner or relatives of such persons and for certain large or strategic investors.
6. ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME OR LOSS
Net income or loss, before management fees, is allocated to all partners in proportion to each partner's capital
account balance. Management fees are charged to each limited partner's capital account.
The General Partner earns an incentive allocation of net profits, as defined in the Limited Partnership
Agreement, equal to 20% of each limited partner's share of net profits. Each limited partner's capital account is
subject to a loss carryforward provision such that no deduction from a limited partner's capital account is made
with respect to a fiscal year until any net loss previously allocated to the capital account has been offset by
subsequent net profits. Any such loss carryfonvard will also be proportionately reduced for any limited
partner's withdrawal. The General Partner may waive or reduce the incentive allocation for certain affiliated
limited partners. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the General Partner did not earn an incentive
allocation.
- 16 -
EFTA00295663
7. PARTNERS' CAPITAL
Contributions received in advance consist of cash contributions received prior to December 31, for which
partner interests of the Partnership will be issued on the subsequent January I. Contributions received in
advance do not participate in the earnings of the Partnership until the related partner interests are issued.
Except with respect to participation in new issues, all limited partners generally will participate in all
investments of the Partnership in the same manner.
The General Partner will generally admit additional limited partners or accept additional capital contributions
from existing limited partners on the first day of each month and at such other times selected by the General
Partner.
Limited partners may withdraw all or a portion of their capital accounts as of the last day of any calendar
quarter on at least 60 days prior written notice. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive or modify
any terms related to withdrawals for a limited partner.
CCM MQF is the only limited partner that is an affiliated entity as of December 31, 2012 and is not subject to
certain expense allocations that are instead borne by the General Partner.
