Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Trust, Trust management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s and the Funds’ disclosure controls and procedures, and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust and the Funds (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective, as of December 31, 2010, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Trust files or submits under the 1934 Act on behalf of itself and the Funds is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to the duly authorized officers of the Trust as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Trust’s Management takes responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Trust and the Funds, as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Trust’s and the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Trust and the Funds; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Trust’s and the Funds’ receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management of the Trust on behalf of the Trust and the Funds; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Trust’s or the Funds’ assets that could have a material effect on the Trust’s or the Funds’ financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Trust assessed the effectiveness of the Trust’s and the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Their assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Trust’s and the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting. In making its assessment, the Trust’s management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on their assessment and those criteria, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Trust concluded that the Trust’s and the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

The effectiveness of the Trust’s and the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Trust’s or the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s or the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.

(collectively, the “Trust”) at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the combined and individual results of their operations and their combined and individual cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the period from August 6, 2008 (Inception) through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the combined Trust and each of the individual funds maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Trust’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the combined Trust and each of the individual fund financial statements and on the combined Trust’s and each of the individual fund’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which were integrated audits in 2010 and 2009). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A trust’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A trust’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the trust; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the trust are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the trust; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the trust’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PROSHARES TRUST II

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

ProShares Trust II (formerly known as the Commodities and Currencies Trust) (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on October 9, 2007 and currently organized into separate series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The following twelve series of the Trust, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil, ProShares Ultra Gold, ProShares UltraShort Gold, ProShares Ultra Silver, ProShares UltraShort Silver, ProShares Ultra Euro, ProShares UltraShort Euro, ProShares Ultra Yen and ProShares UltraShort Yen (each, a “Leveraged Fund” and collectively, the “Leveraged Funds”) issue common units of beneficial interest (“Shares”), which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of only that Leveraged Fund. The Shares of each Leveraged Fund are listed on the New York Stock Exchange Archipelago (“NYSE Arca”). The Trust has also registered shares for four additional series: ProShares Short DJ-UBS Natural Gas and ProShares Short Gold (each, a “Short Fund” and collectively, the “Short Funds”), ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF and ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (each, a VIX Fund and collectively, the “VIX Funds”). As of December 31, 2010, each of the Short Funds had seed capital of $200 and each of the VIX Funds had seed capital of $400 but none of these Funds had commenced investment operations; therefore, these Financial Statements do not include Schedules of Investments, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity or Statements of Cash Flows for the Short Funds or the VIX Funds.

The Trust had no operations prior to November 24, 2008 other than matters relating to its organization, the registration of each series under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the sale and issuance to ProShare Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”) of fourteen Shares of each Leveraged Fund at an aggregate purchase price of $350 in each of the Funds.

Eight of the Funds, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil, ProShares Ultra Euro, ProShares UltraShort Euro, ProShares Ultra Yen and ProShares UltraShort Yen, commenced trading on the NYSE Arca on November 25, 2008. Four of the Funds, ProShares Ultra Silver, ProShares UltraShort Silver, ProShares Ultra Gold and ProShares UltraShort Gold, commenced trading on the NYSE Arca on December 3, 2008. As of December 31, 2010, ProShares Short DJ-UBS Natural Gas, ProShares Short Gold, ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF and ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF had not yet commenced investment operations.

Each “Ultra” Fund seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of its corresponding benchmark. Each “Short” Fund seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of its corresponding benchmark. Each “UltraShort” Fund seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of its corresponding benchmark. The Short Funds, together with the Leveraged Funds are referred to as the “Geared Funds” in these Notes to Financial Statements. Each “VIX” Fund seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that match the performance of a benchmark. Each VIX Fund intends to obtain exposure to its VIX Index by investing in futures contracts (“VIX futures contracts”) based on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”) Volatility Index (the “VIX”). Each of the Geared Funds generally invests or will invest in Financial Instruments (i.e., commodity-based or currency-based instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, rate or index, including futures contracts and options on futures contracts, swap agreements, forward contracts and other commodity-based or currency-based options contracts) as a substitute for investing directly in a commodity or currency in order to gain exposure to the commodity index, commodity or currency. The Financial Instruments in which ProShares Short DJ-UBS Natural Gas will invest are limited to futures contracts. Financial Instruments also are used to produce economically “leveraged” or “inverse” investment results for the Funds.

 

F-83


The Geared Funds do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective over a period of time greater than one day because mathematical compounding prevents the Geared Funds from achieving such results. Accordingly, results over periods of time greater than one day should not be expected to be a simple multiple (+200 or -200%) of the period return of the corresponding benchmark and will likely differ significantly. The VIX Funds seek to achieve their stated investment objective both over a single day and over time.

ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil and ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil each have a benchmark designed to track the performance of commodity futures contracts. The daily performance of these indexes and the corresponding funds will likely be very different from the daily performance of the price of the related physical commodities.

On May 6, 2009, UBS Securities LLC acquired the commodity business of AIG Financial Products Corp. Effective May 7, 2009, the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Indexes were re-branded as the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Indexes. The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Indexes have an identical methodology to the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Indexes and take the identical form and format of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Indexes. In connection therewith:

The following Indexes were renamed:

 

Former Index Name    New Index Name
Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index    Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index
Dow Jones-AIG Crude Oil Sub-Index    Dow Jones-UBS Crude Oil Sub-Index

The following Funds were renamed:

  
Former Fund Name    New Fund Name
ProShares Ultra DJ-AIG Commodity    ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Commodity
ProShares UltraShort DJ-AIG Commodity    ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity
ProShares Ultra DJ-AIG Crude Oil    ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil
ProShares UltraShort DJ-AIG Crude Oil    ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil

Prior to the opening of trading on the NYSE Arca on April 15, 2010, ProShares UltraShort Gold executed a 1-for-5 reverse split of shares, and ProShares UltraShort Silver executed a 1-for-10 reverse split of shares. The funds traded at their post-split prices on April 15, 2010. The ticker symbols for the funds did not change, and they continue to trade on the NYSE Arca.

The reverse splits were applied retroactively for all periods presented, reducing the number of shares outstanding for each of the ProShares UltraShort Gold Fund and ProShares UltraShort Silver Fund, and resulted in a proportionate increase in the price per share and per share information of each of the ProShares UltraShort Gold Fund and ProShares UltraShort Silver Fund. Therefore, the reverse splits did not change the aggregate net asset value of a shareholder’s investment at the time of the split.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Geared Fund and each VIX Fund, as applicable, in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates & Indemnifications

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

F-84


In the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Trust expects any risk of loss to be remote.

Basis of Presentation

Pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), audited financial statements are presented for the Trust as a whole, as the SEC registrant, and for each Fund individually. The debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Fund shall be enforceable only against the assets of such Fund and not against the assets of the Trust generally or any other Fund. Accordingly, the assets of one Fund of the Trust include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Trust on account of and for the benefit of that Fund, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Trust for the purchase of Units in that Fund.

Statement of Cash Flows

The cash amount shown in the Statements of Cash Flows is the amount reported as cash in the Statement of Financial Condition dated December 31, 2010, and represents non-segregated cash with the custodian and does not include short-term investments.

Final Net Asset Value for Fiscal Period

The times of the calculation of the Leveraged Funds’ final net asset value for creation and redemption of fund shares for the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows. All times are Eastern Time:

 

    NAV Calculation Time     NAV Calculation Date  

Ultra Silver, UltraShort Silver

    7:00 A.M.        December 31   

Ultra Gold, UltraShort Gold

    10:00 A.M.        December 30   

Ultra DJ-UBS Commodity,
UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity

    2:30 P.M.        December 31   

Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil,
UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil

    2:30 P.M.        December 31   

Ultra Euro, UltraShort Euro

    4:00 P.M.        December 31   

Ultra Yen, UltraShort Yen

    4:00 P.M.        December 31   

Although the Leveraged Funds’ shares may continue to trade on secondary markets subsequent to the calculation of the final NAV, these times represent the final opportunity to transact in creation or redemption units for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Market value per share is determined at the close of the NYSE Arca and may be later than when the Funds’ NAV per share is calculated.

For financial reporting purposes, the Leveraged Funds value transactions based upon the final closing price in their primary markets. Accordingly, the investment valuations in these financial statements differ from those used in the calculation of some Leveraged Funds’ final creation/redemption NAV for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Investment Valuation

Short-term investments are valued at market price. Treasury securities having a maturity of greater than sixty days are valued at market price.

 

F-85


Derivatives (e.g., futures, swaps and forward agreements) are generally valued using independent sources and/or agreements with counterparties or other procedures as determined by the Sponsor. Futures contracts, except for those entered into by the Gold and Silver Funds, are generally valued at the last settled price on the applicable exchange on which that future trades. Futures contracts entered into by the Gold and Silver Funds are valued at the last sales price prior to the time at which the NAV per Share of a Fund is determined. If there was no sale on that day, and for non-exchange-traded derivatives, the Sponsor may in its sole discretion choose to determine a fair value price as the basis for determining the market value of such position for such day. Such fair value prices would be generally determined based on available inputs about the current value of the underlying financial instrument or commodity and would be based on principles that the Sponsor deems fair and equitable so long as such principles are consistent with normal industry standards. When market closing prices are not available, the Sponsor may value an asset of a Fund pursuant to the policies the Sponsor has adopted, which are consistent with normal industry standards.

Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of an investment. While the Leveraged Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Leveraged Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects investment values as of the time of pricing, the Leveraged Fund cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Sponsor or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for an investment if it were to dispose of that investment as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Leveraged Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The disclosure requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs); and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the disclosure requirements hierarchy are as follows:

Level I – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level II – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level III – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair value measurements also require additional disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as when circumstances indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

Investment Transactions and Related Income

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. All such transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis and marked to market daily. Unrealized appreciation/depreciation on open contracts are reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition and changes in the unrealized appreciation/depreciation between periods are reflected in the Statements of Operations. Discounts on short-term securities purchased are amortized and reflected as Interest Income in the Statements of Operations.

Brokerage Commissions and Fees

Each Geared Fund pays its respective brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees, National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading activities for each Fund’s investment in U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulated investments. Brokerage commissions on futures contracts are recognized on a half-turn basis. The Sponsor will pay brokerage commissions on futures contracts for the VIX Funds.

Federal Income Tax

Each Geared Fund and each VIX Fund is registered as a series of a Delaware statutory trust and is or will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no Fund expects to incur U.S. federal income tax liability; rather, each beneficial owner of a Geared Fund’s or a VIX Fund’s Shares is or will be required to take into account its allocable share of its Geared Fund’s or VIX Fund’s income, gain, loss, deductions and other items for its Fund’s taxable year ending with or within the beneficial owner’s taxable year.

Management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor its tax positions taken under the interpretation to determine if adjustments to conclusions are necessary based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation of guidance expected from the Financial Accounting Standards Board and on-going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS

Short-Term Investments

The Leveraged Funds may purchase U.S. Treasury Bills, agency securities, and other high-credit quality short-term fixed income or similar securities with original maturities of one year or less. A portion of these investments may be posted as collateral in connection with swap agreements and/or used as margin for a Leveraged Fund’s trading in futures and forward contracts.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

In seeking to achieve each Leveraged Fund’s investment objective, the Sponsor uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, the Sponsor determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Sponsor believes in combination should produce daily returns consistent with a Leveraged Fund’s objective.

All open derivative positions at period-end for each Leveraged Fund are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the notional value of these open positions relative to the shareholders’ equity of each Leveraged Fund is generally representative of the notional value of open positions to shareholders’ equity throughout the reporting period for each respective Leveraged Fund. The volume associated with derivative positions varies on a daily basis as each Leveraged Fund transacts derivative contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure, as expressed in notional value, in comparison to shareholders’ equity consistent with each Leveraged Fund’s investment objective.

Following is a description of the derivative instruments used by the Leveraged Funds during the reporting period, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type.

Futures Contracts

The Leveraged Funds enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in the value of an underlying commodity. A futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of a commodity at a specified time and place. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller may generally be satisfied by taking or making physical delivery of the underlying commodity or by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures contract on the same or linked exchange before the designated date of delivery.

 

F-89


Upon entering into a futures contract, each Leveraged Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral at least such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. The initial margin is segregated as cash balances with brokers for futures contracts, as disclosed in the Statements of Financial Condition, and is restricted as to its use. Pursuant to the futures contract, each Leveraged Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Leveraged Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Each Leveraged Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of a futures transaction.

Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically commodity price risk) and exposure to loss in excess of the amount of variation margin. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of the total exposure each Leveraged Fund has in the particular classes of instruments. Additional risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying securities or commodity and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Leveraged Funds since futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Swap Agreements

The Leveraged Funds enter into swap agreements for purposes of pursuing their investment objectives or as a substitute for investing directly in (or shorting) commodities, or to create an economic hedge against a position. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily with institutional investors for a specified period, ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns earned or realized on a particular predetermined investment, instrument or index in exchange for a fixed or floating rate of return in respect of a predetermined notional amount. In the case of futures contracts based indices, such as those used by the Commodity Index Funds, the reference interest rate is zero. The gross returns to be exchanged are calculated with respect to a notional amount and the benchmark returns to which the swap is linked. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying instruments.

Generally, swap agreements entered into by the Leveraged Funds calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis” with a single payment. Consequently, each Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of such obligations (or rights) (the “net amount”). In a typical swap agreement entered into by an Ultra Fund, the Ultra Fund would be entitled to settlement payments in the event the benchmark increases and would be required to make payments to the swap counterparties in the event the benchmark decreases, adjusted for any transaction costs or trading spreads on the notional amount the Leveraged Funds may pay. In a typical swap agreement entered into by an UltraShort Fund, the UltraShort Fund would be required to make payments to the swap counterparties in the event the benchmark increases and would be entitled to settlement payments in the event the benchmark decreases, adjusted for any transaction costs or trading spreads on the notional amount the Leveraged Funds may pay.

The net amount of the excess, if any, of each Leveraged Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap agreement is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash and/or securities having an aggregate NAV at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Leveraged Funds’ Custodian. Until a swap agreement is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount less any transaction costs or trading spreads payable by each Leveraged Fund on the notional amount are recorded as “unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements” and, when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss realized is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swap agreements.” Swap agreements are generally valued at the last settled price of the benchmark referenced Index.

The Trust, on behalf of a Leveraged Fund, may enter into agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. These agreements contain various conditions, events of default, termination events,

 

F-90


covenants and representations. The triggering of certain events or the default on certain terms of the agreement could allow a party to terminate a transaction under the agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net positions owed the party under the agreement. This could cause a Leveraged Fund to have to enter into a new transaction with the same counterparty, enter into a transaction with a different counterparty or seek to achieve its investment objective through any number of different investments or investment techniques.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (commodity price risk) and exposure to loss in excess of the unrealized gain/loss reflected. The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total investment exposure each Leveraged Fund has under the swap agreement, which may exceed the NAV of each Leveraged Fund. Additional risks associated with the use of swap agreements are imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying reference index and the inability of counterparties to perform. Each Leveraged Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. A Leveraged Fund will enter into swap agreements only with large, well-capitalized and well established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms which is a party to a swap agreement is monitored by the Sponsor. The Sponsor may use various techniques to minimize credit risk including early termination and payment, using different counterparties and limiting the net amount due from any individual counterparty. All of the outstanding swap agreements at December 31, 2010 contractually terminate within one month but may be terminated without penalty by either party daily. Upon termination, the Leveraged Fund is entitled to pay or receive the “unrealized appreciation or depreciation” amount.

The Leveraged Funds collateralize swap agreements with cash and/or certain securities as indicated on the Statements of Financial Condition or Schedules of Investments and such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account at the Custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the Leveraged Funds. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Leveraged Funds will seek return of this collateral and may incur certain costs and time delays in exercising its right with respect to the collateral.

The Leveraged Funds may remain subject to credit risk with respect to the amounts they expect to receive from counterparties, as those amounts are not always similarly collateralized by the counterparty. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Leveraged Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Leveraged Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Forward Contracts

The Leveraged Funds enter into forward contracts for purposes of pursuing their investment objectives and as a substitute for investing directly in (or shorting) commodities/currencies. A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified quantity of a commodity or currency at or before a specified date in the future at a specified price. Forward contracts are typically traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and all details of the contract are negotiated between the counterparties to the agreement. Accordingly, the forward contracts are valued by reference to the contracts traded in the OTC markets.

The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller may generally be satisfied by taking or making physical delivery of the underlying commodity or currency, establishing an opposite position in the contract and recognizing the profit or loss on both positions simultaneously on the delivery date or, in some instances, paying a cash settlement before the designated date of delivery. The forward contracts are adjusted by the daily fluctuation of the underlying commodity or currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

Forward contracts are, in general, not cleared or guaranteed by a third party. The Leveraged Funds may collateralize forward commodity contracts with cash and/or certain securities as indicated on their Statements of

 

F-91


Financial Condition or Schedules of Investments and such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account at the Custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the Funds. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Leveraged Funds will seek return of this collateral and may incur certain costs exercising its right with respect to the collateral.

The Leveraged Funds may remain subject to credit risk with respect to the amounts they expect to receive from counterparties, as those amounts are not always similarly collateralized by the counterparty. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Leveraged Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Leveraged Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Participants in trading foreign exchange forward contracts often do not require margin deposits, but rely upon internal credit limitations and their judgments regarding the creditworthiness of their counterparties.

A Leveraged Fund will enter into forward contracts only with large, well-capitalized and well established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms which is a party to a forward contract is monitored by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor, on behalf of each Geared Fund and each VIX Fund, has entered into a Distribution Services Agreement with SEI.

Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Sponsor pays or will pay all of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of each Geared Fund and each VIX Fund generally, as determined by the Sponsor including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of the Administrator, Custodian, Distributor, Transfer Agent, DJ-UBS, accounting and auditing fees and expenses, tax preparation expenses, legal fees not in excess of $100,000 per annum, ongoing SEC registration fees not exceeding 0.021% per annum of the NAV of a Geared Fund or a VIX Fund, FINRA filing fees, individual K-1 preparation and mailing fees not exceeding 0.10% per annum of the NAV of a Geared Fund or a VIX Fund, and report preparation and mailing expenses.

Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

Each Leveraged Fund and VIX Fund pays and each Short Fund will pay all non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses, if any, as determined by the Sponsor. Non-recurring fees and expenses are fees and expenses such as legal claims and liabilities, litigation costs or indemnification or other material expenses which are not currently anticipated obligations of the Geared Funds or the VIX Funds. Such fees and expenses are those that are non-recurring, unexpected or unusual in nature.

NOTE 5 – ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING COSTS

Organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs will be amortized by the Funds over a twelve month period on a straight-line basis. The Sponsor did not collect any fee in the first year of operation of each Leveraged Fund in an amount equal to the organization and offering fees. The Sponsor reimbursed each Leveraged Fund to the extent that its organization and offering costs exceeded 0.95% of its average daily NAV for the first year of operations.

Offering costs on the VIX Funds will be amortized over a twelve month period on a straight-line basis. The Sponsor will not collect any fee in the first year of operation of each VIX Fund in an amount equal to the offering fees. The Sponsor will reimburse each VIX Fund to the extent that its offering costs exceed 0.85% of its average daily NAV for the first year of operations. At December 31, 2010, payable for offering costs are reflected in the Statement of Financial Condition for each VIX Fund.

NOTE 6 – CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

Each Leveraged Fund and VIX Fund issues and redeems Shares and each Short Fund will issue and redeem shares from time to time, but only in one or more Creation Units. A Creation Unit is a block of 50,000 Shares of a Geared Fund and 25,000 Shares of a VIX Fund. Creation Units may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants.

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities. Retail investors, therefore, generally will not be able to purchase or redeem Shares directly from or with a Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase or sell Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker. Thus, some of the information contained in these Notes to Financial Statements—such as references to the Transaction Fees imposed on purchases and redemptions—is not relevant to retail investors.

 

F-96


Transaction Fees on Creation and Redemption Transactions

Authorized Participants pay a fixed transaction fee of $500 in connection with each order to create or redeem a Creation Unit in order to compensate BBH&Co. for services in processing the creation and redemption of Creation Units. Authorized Participants are required to pay a variable transaction fee of up to 0.10% of the value of the Creation Unit that is purchased or redeemed unless the transaction fee is waived or otherwise adjusted by the Sponsor. The variable transaction fee is 0.022% for the Commodity Funds and Commodity Index Funds and 0.00% for the Currency Funds and the VIX Funds. The Sponsor will provide the Authorized Participant with prompt notice in advance of any such waiver or adjustment of transaction fee. Authorized Participants may sell the Shares included in the Creation Units they purchase from the Funds to other investors in the secondary market.

Transaction fees for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the period ended December 31, 2008, which are included in the Sale and/or Redemption of Shares on the Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, were as follows:

NOTE 8 – RISK

Correlation and Compounding Risk

The Geared Funds do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective over a period of time greater than one day because mathematical compounding prevents the Funds from achieving such results. Accordingly, results over periods of time greater than one day should not be expected to be a simple inverse correlation (-100%) or multiple (+200 or -200%) of the period return of the corresponding benchmark and will likely differ significantly. The VIX Funds seek to achieve their stated investment objective both over a single day and over time.

A number of factors may affect a Geared Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Geared Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Geared Fund’s correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs and risks associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the commodities or Financial Instruments (i.e., commodity-based or currency-based instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, rate or index) in which the Fund invests. A Geared Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying benchmark index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the index. In addition, a Geared Fund may invest in securities or Financial Instruments not included in the index underlying its benchmark. A Geared Fund may be subject to

 

F-101


large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder a Geared Fund’s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. Each Geared Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with its daily investment objective.

Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a Geared Fund. The Geared Funds are “geared” in the sense that they have investment objectives to match a multiple, the inverse or a multiple of the inverse of the performance of an index on a given day. These Funds are subject to all of the correlation risks described above. In addition, there is a special form of correlation risk that derives from such Funds’ having a single day investment objective in combination with the use of leverage, which is that for periods greater than one day, the effect of compounding may cause the performance of a Fund to be either greater than or less than the index performance (or the inverse of the index performance) times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. This effect can be even more significant in the case of the Leveraged Funds due to the use of leverage. The Geared Funds are designed to provide leveraged (e.g. 200%), inverse (e.g. -100%) or inverse leveraged (e.g. -200%) results on a daily basis (before fees and expenses). Investors should monitor their holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.

Counterparty Risk

A Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to Financial Instruments entered into by the Fund. The Funds structure the agreements such that either party can terminate the contract without penalty prior to the termination date. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Funds typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit rating, at the time of the transaction, is investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, judged by the Sponsor to be of comparable quality.

Leverage Risk

The Funds use investment techniques that may be considered aggressive, including the use of futures contracts, swap agreements and forward agreements. The Funds’ investment in Financial Instruments may involve a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed and may result in losses exceeding the amounts invested. Such instruments, particularly when used to create leverage, may expose the Funds to potentially dramatic changes (losses or gains) in the value of the instruments.

Liquidity Risk

In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the commodities or Financial Instruments in which a Fund invests, a Fund might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of the Sponsor. Such a situation may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation or inverse correlation with its underlying index.

NOTE 9 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Trust and certain officers are defendants (along with several other parties) in a consolidated class action styled In re ProShares Trust Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 09-cv-6935, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint, as amended, alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by issuing untrue statements of material fact and omitting material facts in the Registration Statement for one or more ProShares ETFs, allegedly failing to adequately disclose the Funds’

 

F-102


investment objectives and risks. The six Funds of the Trust named in the complaint are ProShares Ultra Silver, ProShares UltraShort Gold, ProShares Ultra Gold, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil, and ProShares UltraShort Silver. The Trust believes the complaint is without merit and that the anticipated outcome will not adversely impact the operation of the Trust or any of its Funds.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Funds’ financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. The subsequent events were as follows:

On January 3, 2011, the VIX Funds commenced investment operations.

On February 17, 2011, the Trust announced a reverse stock split of the shares of beneficial interest of four of its series: ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil, ProShares UltraShort Silver and ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil (the “Reverse Splits”). The Reverse Splits were effective prior to the opening of trading on NYSE Arca on February 25, 2011.

The Reverse Splits were effective for shareholders of record after the close of the markets on February 24, 2011. ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity (NYSE Arca symbol “CMD”) and ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil (NYSE Arca symbol “SCO”) executed a 1-for-5 reverse split of shares, and ProShares UltraShort Silver (NYSE Arca symbol “ZSL”) and ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil (NYSE Arca symbol “UCO”) executed a 1-for-4 reverse split of shares. The Funds traded at their post-split prices on February 25, 2011. The ticker symbols for the Funds did not change, and they will continue to trade on NYSE Arca.

The Reverse Splits were applied retroactively for all periods presented, reducing the number of shares outstanding for each of the ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity Fund, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil Fund, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil Fund and ProShares UltraShort Silver Fund, and resulted in a proportionate increase in the price per share and per share information of each of the ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Commodity Fund, ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil Fund, ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude Oil Fund and ProShares UltraShort Silver Fund. Therefore, the Reverse Splits did not change the aggregate net asset value of a shareholder’s investment at the time of the split.
