Item 1: BUSINESS

(a)	General Development of Business

Man AHL FuturesAccess LLC (the “Fund”) is a Delaware limited liability company, formed on April 1, 2010, that retains a single professional commodity trading advisor (“CTA”) to manage the Fund’s speculative trading of commodity futures and forward contracts, other commodity interests and options on each of the foregoing. Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), is the sponsor of the Fund. Man-AHL (USA) Ltd. (the “Trading Advisor”) is the CTA of the Fund, and is not affiliated with the Sponsor or the Fund.

The Fund is part of the Merrill Lynch FuturesAccessSM Program (“FuturesAccess”), which has been sponsored and designed by the Sponsor to make available to eligible investors different futures funds, including the Fund (“FuturesAccess Funds”), for direct investment or investment through a fund of funds.

The Fund will file annual, quarterly and current reports and certain other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Persons may read and copy any documents the Fund files at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington D.C. 20549 on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. You may obtain information on the operation at the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of any such filings will be provided free of charge to any investor in the Fund (“Investor”) upon written request to the Fund at its business address, c/o Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC, 4 World Financial Center 250 Vesey Street, 10th Floor New York, NY 10080.

Plan of Operation

The Fund commenced trading on August 2, 2010. The Fund’s objective is to capitalize on price movements in a diversified portfolio of highly liquid stock index, interest rate, metal, energy and agricultural futures, as well as over-the-counter dealer and interbank currency contracts.

Under its limited liability company operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the Fund has delegated the exclusive management of all aspects of the business and administration of the Fund to the Sponsor. The Sponsor is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) and as a CTA and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in such capacities. The Sponsor is also registered with the SEC as an investment adviser.

The Fund’s disclosure document was prepared in accordance with applicable CFTC rules and has been filed with and reviewed by NFA prior to its distribution to potential investors. The Fund’s units of limited liability company interest (“Units”) are privately offered pursuant to Rule 506 under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Fund’s assets may be used to engage in the trading of commodity futures and forward contracts, other commodity interests and options on each of the foregoing pursuant to the investment methodology of the Trading Advisor. The Sponsor was responsible for selecting and will be responsible for monitoring the Trading Advisor, and it may replace the Trading Advisor or terminate the Fund in the future, in its sole discretion. The Sponsor selected the Trading Advisor based on the Sponsor’s diligence on the Trading Advisor, the markets in which the Trading Advisor is active and the Trading Advisor’s past performance. The Sponsor may add replacement or additional trading advisors, but is unlikely to do so absent removal or resignation of the current Trading Advisor.

The Trading Advisor attempts to achieve for the Fund the investment objective of its trading model, the Man-AHL Diversified Program, subject to any differences resulting from restrictions placed on the Fund’s trading portfolio due to the Sponsor’s disapproving or delaying its approval of an instrument pursuant to the process set out in the advisory agreement with the Trading Advisor (the “Trading Program”). The Trading Program employs a systematic, statistically-based investment strategy that is designed to identify and capitalize on price movements and inefficiencies in markets around the world. A stable and robust trading and implementation infrastructure is then employed to capitalize on these trading opportunities. The trading systems are quantitative and primarily directional in nature, meaning that investment decisions are entirely driven by mathematical models based on market trends and other historic relationships. Trading takes place around the clock and real-time price information is used to respond to price moves across a diverse range of global markets. The Trading Advisor invests in a diversified portfolio of instruments which may include futures, options on futures, forward contracts, swaps and other financial derivatives, both on and off exchange. The interests underlying the investments in which the Trading Advisor invests include, without limitation, stock indices, bonds, currencies, short-term interest rates, energies, metals and agriculturals.

In addition to emphasizing sector and market diversification, the Trading Program has been constructed to achieve diversification by combining various systems. The systems are driven by powerful computerized processes or trading algorithms, most of which work by sampling prices in real time and measuring price momentum and breakouts. In aggregate, the systems run more than 3,000 price samples each day spread across the 100 or so markets traded. The trading algorithms aim mainly to capture price trends and close out positions when there is a high probability of a different trend developing, although the Trading Program may include algorithmic systems based on certain forms of quantitative fundamental data that can be captured efficiently, such as interest rate data.

Another important aspect of diversification is the fact that the various systems generate signals across different timeframes, ranging from two to three days to several months, which is designed to reduce the risk of the Trading Program. In line with the principle of diversification, the approach to portfolio construction and asset allocation is premised on the importance of deploying investment capital across the full range of sectors and markets. Particular attention is paid to correlation of markets and sectors, expected returns, trading costs and market liquidity. Portfolios are regularly reviewed and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect changes in these

factors. The Trading Advisor also has a process for adjusting its market risk exposure in real time to reflect changes in the volatility of individual markets.

The Trading Advisor’s trading signals are generated 100% systematically and therefore have no discretionary trading during drawdowns or other time periods.

The Trading Program is the product of continuing research and development performed by the Trading Advisor.

The Fund’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

As the Fund trades primarily in commodity interests rather than securities, the Fund qualifies for an exclusion from the definition of, and is not registered as, an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Company Act”). Consequently, Investors will not have the benefit of the investor protection provisions afforded by the Company Act.

(b)	Financial Information about Segments

The Fund’s business constitutes only one segment: a speculative “commodity pool.” The Fund does not engage in sales of goods or services.

(c)	Narrative Description of Business

General

The Fund will trade in highly liquid stock index, interest rate, metal, energy and agricultural futures, as well as over-the-counter dealer and interbank currency contracts. One of the aims of the Fund is to provide diversification for Investors’ portfolios by offering access to an investment field that has often had a low degree of performance correlation with traditional stock and bond holdings. However, investment in the Fund is only appropriate for a limited portion of that segment of an Investor’s portfolio which is intended to be invested in investments that bear a high level of risk. Traditional portfolios invested in stocks, bonds and cash equivalents can be diversified by allocating a portion of their assets to non-traditional investments such as managed futures.

The potential non-correlation with the performance of stocks and bonds means that managed futures can help to improve long-term returns and reduce portfolio volatility, although there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve these objectives or avoid substantial losses. Below is a chart showing the relationships between the Fund, the Sponsor and several of the major service providers to the Fund.

*The Sponsor sponsors and manages a variety of alternative investment funds, including the Fund, other FuturesAccess Funds, other commodity pools and funds which trade primarily in securities rather than commodities, including hedge funds, funds of funds and private equity funds.

The Sponsor

The Sponsor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. (“MLIM”), which, in turn, is 99% owned by MLIM Administration, L.P. and 1% owned by its general partner, Princeton Services, Inc. MLIM Administration, L.P. is 99% owned by Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“ML & Co.”) and 1% owned by its general partner, Princeton Services, Inc. ML & Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation. For convenience, ML & Co. and its affiliated entities are sometimes collectively referred to as “Merrill Lynch.”

The Sponsor sponsors and manages a variety of alternative investments, including hedge funds, funds of funds, managed futures and private equity funds. The Sponsor’s capabilities in this field of investment date back as far as 1986 through its predecessor organizations. The Sponsor’s affiliates also act as general partner, sponsor or investment manager for a number of hedge funds, single manager feeder funds, funds of funds, managed futures and private equity funds. One of these fund of funds included within FuturesAccess, ML Trend-Following Futures Fund L.P. (the “Trend-Following Fund”), is the sole investor in certain Units of the Fund; however there are additional investors in the other classes of Units. Further, another one of the Sponsor’s fund of funds, ML Systematic Momentum FuturesAccess LLC (“Systematic Momentum”), may invest in certain Units of the Fund in the future.

The Trading Advisor

The Trading Advisor, a United Kingdom (“UK”) company, became registered as a commodity trading advisor with the CFTC in May 2003 and is a member of NFA. The Trading Advisor also is registered with The UK Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”) in England.

The Trading Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Investments Holdings Limited, a UK holding company that is part of the Man Group of companies (the “Man Group”). The Trading Advisor uses the same trading approaches and has common personnel as its affiliate, Man Investments Ltd. (“MIL”), a UK company organized to act as an investment and commodity advisor to non-U.S. persons. The main business address of the Trading Advisor is Sugar Quay, Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6DU, England.

The Fund and the Sponsor have entered into an advisory agreement with the Trading Advisor whereby the Trading Advisor will trade in the international futures and forwards markets pursuant to the Trading Program. In the Trading Program, which the Trading Advisor has traded since January 2005, the Trading Advisor applies a systematic, trend-following strategy.

The Fund accesses the Trading Program by placing funds allocated to trading all or substantially all of its assets in a CFTC-regulated managed account held by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), the Fund’s commodity broker. Funds are also held at MLPF&S in London and foreign currency forwards are processed through Merrill Lynch International Bank Ltd. (“MLIB”). The Fund also utilizes custody accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon.

The Trading Advisor has the sole and exclusive authority and responsibility for directing the Fund’s trading, subject to the Sponsor’s fiduciary obligation to intervene to overrule or unwind trades if the Sponsor deems that doing so is necessary or reasonably advisable for the protection of the Fund. The Fund or the Sponsor may also override the trading instructions of the Trading Advisor to the extent necessary: (i) to fund any distributions or redemptions of Units to be made by the Fund; (ii) to pay the Fund’s expenses; and/or (iii) to comply with speculative position limits imposed by the CFTC or a particular market on which instruments traded by the Trading Advisor for the Fund are listed or traded; provided that the Fund and the Sponsor will permit the Trading Advisor three days in which to liquidate positions for the purposes set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) prior to exercising its override authority. The Sponsor has agreed that any exercise of its override authority will be effected solely by the Sponsor or a Sponsor affiliate or, at the Sponsor’s request, the Trading Advisor. The Trading Advisor will have no liability for the results of any of the Sponsor’s interventions under (i)-(ii) above effected by the Sponsor or Sponsor affiliate nor under (iii) if the Sponsor’s intervention is proven to be an error and the Trading Advisor was in fact in compliance with speculative position limits imposed by the CFTC or the relevant market.

The advisory agreement will continue in effect until the calendar year end following the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the agreement. Thereafter, the advisory agreement will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods, on the same terms. The advisory agreement may, however, be terminated at any time pursuant to any of the following: (i) in its discretion, the Sponsor may terminate the advisory agreement at any time; (ii) if at any time after 90 days of the effective date of the advisory agreement the Fund does not have a capitalization of at least $50 million, the Trading Advisor may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice and if at any time after eighteen months of the effective date of the advisory agreement the Fund does not have a capitalization of at least $100 million, the Trading Advisor may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice; (iii) the Trading Advisor may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Fund does not have a capitalization of at least $700 million as of the third anniversary of the effective date of the advisory agreement, provided that such termination must be effective no later than three months following the third anniversary of the effective date of the advisory agreement; (iv) the Trading Advisor may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice, if, in the opinion of a reputable law firm reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor, there occurs a change in law or regulation of general application that would result in material legal, regulatory, tax or financial harm to the global AHL business of which the Trading Advisor is part due to the Trading Advisor’s continued engagement by the Fund; (v) the Trading Advisor may terminate the advisory agreement upon notice to the Fund no later than 90 days before the expiration of the then-current term; and (vi) the Fund and/or the Sponsor, on the one hand, or the Trading Advisor, on the other, may terminate the advisory agreement as a result of a material breach of the advisory agreement by the other party, after due notice and an opportunity to cure.

Upon the dissolution of the Fund, the Sponsor (or, if the Sponsor has withdrawn, such other liquidator as the Investors may, by vote of more than 50% of the outstanding Units, by net asset value then held by Investors, select) will wind up the Fund’s affairs and, in connection therewith, will distribute the Fund’s assets pursuant to the Fund’s Operating Agreement. While there are no

separate fees related to terminating the agreement, if there is a performance fee owed to the Trading Advisor on the date of termination, such performance fee is due on the termination of the advisory agreement.

The advisory agreement provides that the Fund and the Sponsor will each severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trading Advisor and certain affiliated parties from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including any reasonable investigatory, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in, any settlement; provided that, as applicable, the Fund or the Sponsor will have approved such settlement) resulting from a demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding relating to any of the Fund’s or the Sponsor’s actions or capacities, respectively, relating to the business or activities of the Fund pursuant to the advisory agreement; provided that the conduct of such person which was the subject of the demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding did not constitute negligence, willful misconduct or a material breach of the advisory agreement or of any fiduciary obligation to the Fund and was done in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Fund. The termination of any demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding by settlement will not, in itself, create a presumption that the conduct in question was not undertaken in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Fund.

Use of Proceeds and Cash Management Income

Subscription Proceeds

The Fund’s cash will be used as security for the Fund’s trading activity and to pay the Fund’s trading losses, offset by trading gains, if any, as well as its expenses and redemptions. The primary use of the proceeds of the sale of the Units is to permit the Trading Advisor to trade on a speculative basis in a wide range of different futures and forwards markets on behalf of the Fund, the range of which may be limited from time to time by the specific focus of the Trading Program. While being used for this purpose, the Fund’s assets also generally will be available for cash management.

Markets Traded

The Fund engages in speculative trading in the U.S. and non-U.S. futures and forward markets.

The Fund’s commitments to different types of markets — U.S. and non-U.S., regulated and non-regulated — differ substantially from time to time, as well as over time. The Fund has no policy restricting its relative commitment to any of these different types of markets.

Custody of Assets

Certain of the Fund’s cash is held by MLPF&S in customer segregated accounts and primarily invested in CFTC-permitted investments, including, without limitation, commercial paper, U.S. government and government agency securities, prime non-U.S. government securities, corporate notes and money market funds.

Interest

The Fund generally will earn interest, as described below, on its cash, which is deemed to include, in addition to actual cash held by the Fund, its “open trade equity” i.e., equity attributable to unrealized gain and loss marked to market daily on open positions. Cash is held primarily in U.S. dollars, and to a lesser extent in foreign currencies. Cash does not include, and the Fund does not earn interest income on, the Fund’s gains or losses on its open forward, commodity option and certain non-U.S. futures positions since these gains and losses are not collected or paid until such positions are closed out.

The Fund’s cash may be greater than, less than or equal to the Fund’s net asset value (on which the redemption value of the Units is based) primarily because net asset value reflects all gains and losses on open positions as well as accrued but unpaid expenses.

MLPF&S intends to pay interest on the Fund’s cash, irrespective of how such cash is held or invested, at the most favorable rate payable by MLPF&S to accounts of Merrill Lynch affiliates, which will consist of the current federal funds rate of interest minus a spread based on the currency held. MLPF&S will receive the amount of the spread, in addition to any amounts it receives over the federal funds rate due to its investing activities, as well as any amounts it, or its affiliates, receive in brokerage commissions as described herein. The Fund receives interest on its cash held in excess of margin. MLPF&S retains the additional economic benefit derived from possession of the Fund’s cash, which includes the ability to invest such cash throughout MLPF&S’s cash management programs, which may include investments in vehicles managed or sponsored by MLPF&S or its affiliates.

MLPF&S, in the course of acting as commodity broker for the Fund, may lend certain currencies to, and borrow certain currencies from, the Fund. In the course of doing so, MLPF&S both retains certain amounts of interest and receives other economic benefits. In doing so, MLPF&S follows its standard procedures for paying interest on the assets of the commodity pools sponsored by the Sponsor and other MLPF&S affiliates and traded through MLPF&S.

Charges

The Fund will offer four classes (“Classes”) of Units to outside investors: Class A, Class C, Class I and Class D. Each Class participates on equal terms in the profits and losses of the Fund and has equal ownership rights in the equity thereof. Classes are differentiated only by the fees paid by each and the type of investor eligible to invest in each. Class eligibility is determined on the basis of an Investor’s total investment in all FuturesAccess Funds, HedgeAccess Funds (defined below) and certain other funds or programs sponsored by the Sponsor or its affiliates (“Total Investment”). A separate class of Units, the Class DT Units, is not open to investment except by the Trend-Following Fund and is subject to different fees and terms. Other classes may be offered from time to time, including a class, the Class DS Units, for investment only by Systematic Momentum, with such terms as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion.

Although the Sponsor uses the term “Class” to distinguish the four types of units of limited liability company interest, and while the four types have different fees and investment minimums, they have the same rights, preferences and privileges, and the Sponsor therefore does not believe that different fees and investment minimums are sufficient differences to make them four separate “classes” under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

No minimum Total Investment is required to invest in Class A or Class C Units, other than the minimum subscription amounts required to invest in the Fund. As described in more detail below, Class A Units are subject to a one-time, upfront sales commission (“sales commission”) of between 1.0% and 2.5%, depending on the size of the subscription, and Class C Units are not subject to a sales commission but pay a higher Sponsor’s Fee (as defined below) than the Class A Units. Investors with a Total Investment of $5,000,000 or more are eligible to purchase Class I Units. Investors with investments in the Fund of $5,000,000 or more or a Total Investment of $15,000,000 or more are eligible to purchase Class D Units.

Description of Current Charges

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Amount of Payment
MLPF&S	Sales Commission	Sales commissions are based on gross subscription amounts, i.e., the total subscription prior to deduction of the sales commission. Class A 1.00% – 2.50% The initial sales commission applicable to subscriptions for Class A Units are as follows: Total Investment of less than $1,000,000 2.5% Total Investment of at least $1,000,000, less than $2,000,000 2.0% Total Investment of at least $2,000,000, less than $3,000,000 1.5% Total Investment of at least $3,000,000, less than $5,000,000 1.0% Class C None Class I Up to 0.50%, subject to negotiation by individual Investors, but not to exceed 0.50% in any case Class D Up to 0.50%, subject to negotiation by individual Investors, but not to exceed 0.50% in any case The Sponsor may waive or reduce sales commissions for certain Investors without entitling any other Investor to such waiver or reduction.

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Amount of Payment
The Sponsor	Sponsor’s Fees (asset-based)	Class A Units (which pay a sales commission) pay the Sponsor a monthly Sponsor’s Fee of 1/12 of 1.5% of their month-end net asset value. Class C Units (which pay no sales commissions) pay the Sponsor a monthly Sponsor’s Fee of 1/12 of 2.5% of their month-end net asset value. Class I Units (which pay a sales commission) pay the Sponsor a monthly Sponsor’s Fee of 1/12 of 1.1% of their month-end net asset value. Class D Units (which pay a sales commission) pay no Sponsor’s Fees. Net asset value, for purposes of calculating the Sponsor’s Fee, is calculated prior to reduction for the Sponsor’s Fee being calculated. The Sponsor may waive, reduce or rebate Sponsor’s Fees for certain Investors without entitling any other Investor to a waiver or reduction.
The Trading Advisor	Management Fees (asset-based)	As of the last business day of each calendar month, the Fund will pay the Trading Advisor a Management Fee equal to 1/12 of 2.0% (a 2.0% annual rate) of the average month-end net asset value of each Investor’s Units, prior to reduction for any accrued Performance Fees, as described below, the Management Fee being calculated or the accrued Sponsor’s Fees. The Management Fee will be pro rated in the case of partial calendar months, but will not be subject to rebate once paid. The Sponsor receives approximately 50% of the 2.0% annual Management Fee payable by the Fund to the Trading Advisor.

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Amount of Payment
The Trading Advisor	Performance Fees	The Fund will pay to the Trading Advisor, as of each December 31 (“Performance Fee Calculation Date”), a Performance Fee equal to 20% of the New Trading Profit (defined below) allocated to the Class D, Class DT and Class DS Units (if any) of the Fund (collectively, the 20% Classes) and 25% of the New Trading Profit allocated to the Class A, Class C and Class I Units of the Fund (collectively, the 25% Classes) as of the Performance Fee Calculation Date. Performance Fees are calculated with respect to the 20% Classes as a whole on the one hand and the 25% Classes as a whole on the other hand, irrespective of the performance of different Investor’s Units in such Classes. When there is an accrued Performance Fee at the time any net capital withdrawal is made from the Fund’s account with the Trading Advisor (a “capital withdrawal”), the Performance Fee attributable to such withdrawal will be paid. The Performance Fee is determined by multiplying the Performance Fee that would have been paid had the date of the capital withdrawal been a Performance Fee Calculation Date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the capital withdrawal attributable to the 20% Classes or the 25% Classes, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the 20% Classes or the 25% Classes, respectively, immediately before the capital withdrawal. The Performance Fee will be paid from and reduce the amount of the capital withdrawal.
		“New Trading Profit” is calculated separately with respect to the 25% Classes and the 20% Classes and equals any increase in the aggregate net asset value (prior to reduction for the fees discussed below and excluding any interest income) of the 20% Classes or the 25% Classes, as applicable, as of the current Performance Fee Calculation Date over the High Water Mark attributable to the applicable group of Classes. The High Water Mark attributable to each of the 20% Classes and the 25% Classes is equal to the highest aggregate net asset value of the 20% Classes or the 25% Classes, respectively, after reduction for the Performance Fee then paid, as of any preceding Performance Fee Calculation Date over the life of the Fund. The High Water Mark will be increased dollar-for-dollar by new subscriptions and decreased proportionately when capital withdrawals are made with respect to the 20% Classes or the 25% Classes. The proportionate High Water Mark reduction made as a result of capital withdrawals shall be calculated by multiplying the High Water Mark in effect

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Amount of Payment
		immediately prior to such capital withdrawal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the 20% Classes or 25% Classes, as applicable, immediately following such capital withdrawal and the denominator of which is the net asset value of such group of Classes immediately before such capital withdrawal, in each case prior to reduction for any accrued Performance Fee. New Trading Profit is calculated prior to the reduction for any Performance Fees, Management Fees or Sponsor’s Fees of the applicable group of Classes being calculated as of such Performance Fee Calculation Date. In addition, net asset value for purposes of calculating the Performance Fee will not include any interest income earned by the Fund and will not be reduced by the Sponsor’s Fees, although such interest income will increase, and such Sponsor’s Fees will decrease, net asset value for purposes of determining the value of the Units.
		The Performance Fee is calculated by taking the applicable percentage of New Trading Profit as of the Performance Fee Calculation Date. For example, if the 25% Classes had a High Water Mark of $20,000, and the Units of such Classes had an aggregate value (prior to reduction for the fees discussed above and excluding any interest income) of $19,000 at the beginning of the period for which the Performance Fee is being calculated and an aggregate value (as similarly adjusted) of $22,000 at the end, the Performance Fee would equal 25% of $2,000, or $500, and the new High Water Mark of the 25% Classes would equal $21,500.
MLPF&S	Brokerage Commissions	The principal operating costs of the Fund are the per-trade brokerage commissions paid to MLPF&S (a portion of which is paid to the Fund’s executing brokers, which may or may not include MLPF&S, as commissions for their execution services) and the currency forward contract (“F/X”) dealer spreads paid to MLIB and others (described below). The Fund’s brokerage commissions are paid on the completion or liquidation of a trade and are referred to as “round-turn” commissions, which cover both the initial purchase (or sale) and the subsequent offsetting sale (or purchase) of a single commodity futures contract. If 100 contracts are included in a single trade, 100 round-turn commissions are charged. The brokerage commission rate charged in respect of the Trading Advisor may vary based on the frequency of its trading. If the Trading Advisor has faster turnover, the Trading Advisor may be charged a lower

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Amount of Payment
		per trade rate in an attempt to maintain the overall brokerage costs of the different FuturesAccess Funds at generally comparable levels. However, the commission expenses of the different FuturesAccess Funds, both in the aggregate and on a “round-turn” basis, will vary, perhaps materially. The “round-turn” commissions paid by the Fund on futures exchanges are expected to be approximately $15 per round-turn plus fees, except in the case of certain non-U.S. contracts on which the rates may be as high as $100 per round-turn plus fees due, in part, to the large size of the contracts traded. In general, the Sponsor estimates that aggregate brokerage commission charges (including F/X spreads) will equal approximately 0.50% per annum.
Various Banks and Dealers, including Merrill Lynch International Bank	Currency (F/X) Dealer Spreads	The Fund’s currency trades may be executed in the spot and forward foreign exchange markets (the “F/X Markets”) in which there are no direct execution costs. Instead, the banks and dealers in the F/X Markets, including MLIB, take a “spread” between the prices at which they are prepared to buy and sell a particular currency, and such spreads are built into the pricing of the spot or forward contracts with the Fund. A significant portion of the Fund’s foreign currency trades are likely to be executed through MLIB, an affiliate of the Sponsor. Should the Fund engage in exchange of futures for physical (“EFP”) trading, the Fund would acquire cash currency positions through banks and dealers, including Merrill Lynch. The Fund would pay a spread when it exchanges these positions for futures. This spread would reflect, in part, the different settlement dates of the cash and the futures contracts, as well as prevailing interest rates, but also would include a pricing spread in favor of the dealer, which will often be Merrill Lynch.
Service Providers, including Merrill Lynch Entities	Operating Costs	The Fund pays, in addition to the other expenses described above, its operating costs — including, without limitation: ongoing offering expenses; execution and clearing brokerage commissions (as described above); forward and other over-the-counter trading spreads (as described above); administrative, transfer, exchange and redemption processing, legal, regulatory, reporting, filing, tax, audit, escrow, accounting and printing fees and expenses — as well as extraordinary expenses. Operating costs are allocated pro rata among the Fund’s Classes of Units based on their respective net asset values.

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Amount of Payment
		The Sponsor retains outside service providers to supply certain services to FuturesAccess, including, without limitation, legal, tax reporting, custody, accounting, administrative and escrow services. Operating costs include the Fund’s allocable share of the fees and expenses of these outside service providers, as well as the fees and expenses of any Merrill Lynch entity or other service providers which may be retained to provide such (or other) services in the future. Certain other costs related to FuturesAccess as a whole including, for example, additional third party service providers and costs related to improvements over the entire platform, such as a consultant brought in to improve processes platform wide, are allocated pro rata among all FuturesAccess Funds, including the Fund. Such costs will vary significantly from period to period.
The Sponsor	Organizational and Initial Offering Costs	The Fund charges the costs associated with the organization and initial offering of the Fund to investors by amortizing the amount over a 60-month straight line basis for purposes of calculating the trading net asset value of the fund. These costs are amortized for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) purposes over a 12-month period for financial reporting purposes on the annual audit and for any regulatory filings. The Fund ultimately pays for all of these costs and will reimburse the Manager for any such costs that it advanced on behalf of the Fund.
N/A	Ongoing Offering Expenses	The Fund will pay its own ongoing offering expenses, which are allocated pro rata among each Class of Units in accordance with their respective net asset values. The ongoing offering expenses payable by the Fund are not expected to exceed $100,000 per year, although these expenses could exceed this estimate during any given year.

Conflicts of Interest

Merrill Lynch-Affiliated Entities

Other than the Trading Advisor and certain executing brokers utilized by the Trading Advisor, all parties involved in the operations of the Fund are affiliated with Merrill Lynch. Consequently, many of the business terms of the Fund have not been negotiated at arm’s-length. Were Investors to seek redress from Merrill Lynch for damages relating to the offering of the Units or the operations of the Fund, they (i) would be unlikely to have recourse against any Merrill Lynch entity, such as ML & Co. and Merrill Lynch International & Co., which is not a direct party to an agreement with the Fund, and (ii) would be likely to have recourse even in the

case of a direct party only on a derivative basis, suing not individually but in the right of the Fund.

MLPF&S and MLIB

MLPF&S executes, and MLIB acts as counterparty to, trades for many different clients in the same markets at the same time. Consequently, other clients may receive better prices on the same trades than the Fund, causing the Fund to pay higher prices for its positions.

Many MLPF&S clients pay lower brokerage rates, and many MLIB clients pay lower bid-ask spreads, than the Fund. Brokerage commissions and bid-ask spreads have a major impact on the Fund’s performance, and the cumulative effect of the higher rates paid by the Fund is material.

MLPF&S and MLIB each must allocate their resources among many different clients. They have financial incentives to favor certain accounts over the Fund, including by devoting more business time to such other accounts or by providing lower brokerage commissions to accounts with higher trading volume than the Fund. Because of the competitive nature of the markets in which the Fund trades, to the extent that either of MLPF&S or MLIB prefers other clients over the Fund, the Fund is likely to incur losses.

MLPF&S and MLIB do not have to compete to provide services to the Fund; consequently, there is no independent check on the quality of their services.

The Sponsor

Use of Merrill Lynch Affiliates

The Sponsor and its affiliates are the Fund’s primary service providers, other than the Trading Advisor and certain executing brokers utilized by the Fund, and will remain so even if using other firms would be more advantageous for the Fund. Because the Fund’s primary service providers are the Sponsor or its affiliates, the principals or key employees of the Sponsor may be associated persons of such primary service providers.

Proprietary Investments

From time to time, the Sponsor or Merrill Lynch may have substantial proprietary investments with the Trading Advisor. The Sponsor and Merrill Lynch have a conflict of interest in allocating capital to the Trading Advisor, and the terms of the Sponsor’s or Merrill Lynch’s proprietary investment with the Trading Advisor may have substantially different terms than those the Sponsor or Merrill Lynch would receive by investing into the Fund, including the potential for more advantageous fees and liquidity than are offered to Investors.

Other Funds Sponsored by the Sponsor

The Sponsor might be able to add more value to the Fund if certain Sponsor personnel were to focus exclusively on managing the Fund, but none do so. The Sponsor is a registered investment

adviser and commodity pool operator and operates trading accounts other than the Fund because such accounts generate significant revenues for it, and also diversify the Sponsor’s exposure to one or more of such accounts performing poorly. The amount of time the Sponsor will devote to managing the Fund will vary significantly over time and is very difficult to quantify, but the Sponsor believes that the time it devotes to the Fund will be sufficient for the Sponsor to manage the Fund in accordance with its obligations and duties to the Fund.

The Sponsor sponsors or manages a total of 137 funds other than the Fund, including 15 other FuturesAccess Funds, 2 commodity pools not included in FuturesAccess and 120 funds which trade primarily in securities rather than commodities, including hedge funds, funds of funds and private equity funds. These funds are generally privately offered and may compete with or take positions opposite the Fund. The Sponsor does not attempt to ensure any consistency of trading results across the pools it sponsors. Each of these funds presents a potential conflict for the time and services of the Sponsor’s personnel and the Sponsor may have financial incentives to favor certain of such funds over the Fund, such as in cases where these other funds pay higher fees or attract more subscriptions than the Fund.

Certain clients of the Sponsor pay materially lower brokerage rates than does the Fund. In particular, certain institutional clients of Merrill Lynch receive, as a result of arm’s-length negotiations, better commission rates than the Fund.

There is, in general, a shortage of qualified futures trading advisors available to manage customer assets. The Sponsor has a conflict of interest in selecting the Trading Advisor for the Fund and for other accounts sponsored by the Sponsor.

Per-Trade Revenues

Because the FuturesAccess Funds, including the Fund, pay brokerage commissions and forward trading spreads to MLPF&S and MLIB on a per trade basis, the Sponsor may have an incentive to select trading advisors for FuturesAccess, including the Trading Advisor, which trade in higher volume, generating more revenue for MLPF&S and MLIB.

The Trading Advisor

Other Clients and Business Activities of the Trading Advisor

The Fund might benefit significantly from an exclusive focus by the Trading Advisor on the Fund rather than on its other accounts, including accounts owned by its principals. The Fund could be adversely affected by the fact that the Trading Advisor trades other accounts at the same time that it is managing the Fund’s account. The Trading Advisor has numerous different clients and financial incentives to favor certain of such clients over the Fund. The amount of time the Trading Advisor will devote to managing the account of the Fund will vary significantly over time and is very difficult to quantify, but the Sponsor believes will be sufficient for the Trading Advisor to discharge its duties to the Fund.

Other client accounts managed by the Trading Advisor may significantly outperform the Fund.

The Trading Advisor and its principals devote a substantial portion of their business time to ventures and accounts other than managing the Fund, including, in some cases, ventures that are unrelated to futures trading.

The Trading Advisor acts, or may in the future act, as sponsor of its own single- or multi-advisor futures funds. Such funds may, from time to time, be in direct competition with the Fund for positions in the market. The Trading Advisor currently advises three accounts or funds that trade the same or substantially the same strategy as the Fund and which may be in competition for the same positions in the market.

Brokers and Dealers Selected by Trading Advisor

The Trading Advisor may require, as a condition of its managing the Fund’s account, that such account trade through certain non-Merrill Lynch brokers with which the Trading Advisor has ongoing business dealings, even though Merrill Lynch remains the clearing broker for the Fund. The Trading Advisor may have a conflict of interest between insisting on the use of such brokers and using the brokers most advantageous for the Fund.

The Trading Advisor executes a large number of its trades for the Fund’s account through executing brokers affiliated with the Trading Advisor.

Performance Fees

The fact that the Trading Advisor is eligible to receive Performance Fees may cause it to trade in a more speculative fashion than it otherwise would.

Financial Advisors

“Financial Advisors” are the individual Merrill Lynch brokers who deal directly with Merrill Lynch clients. Financial Advisors are compensated, in part, on the basis of the amount of securities commissions which they generate from client transactions. Financial Advisors receive ongoing compensation and, in certain cases, initial selling commissions on the Units they sell and have a financial incentive to encourage Investors to purchase and not to redeem their Units.

Proprietary Trading

The Sponsor, MLPF&S and the Trading Advisor, and their respective affiliates, principals, key employees and related persons may trade in the commodity markets for their own accounts as well as for the accounts of their clients. Records of this trading will not be available for inspection by Investors. These persons may take positions which are the same as or opposite to those held by the Fund. As a result of a neutral allocation system, testing a new trading system, trading their proprietary accounts more aggressively or other actions not in violation of their fiduciary or other duties, these persons may from time to time take positions in their proprietary

accounts ahead of the positions taken for the Fund. In addition, on occasion orders may be filled more advantageously for the account of one or more such persons than for the Fund’s account.

Direct and Indirect Investors

Investors will be permitted to invest directly in the Fund, and the Fund also will be an underlying fund for the Trend-Following Fund, and potentially may be an underlying fund for Systematic Momentum or other funds of funds managed by the Sponsor in the future. Under certain circumstances, the potentially disparate interests of the direct Investors and the relevant fund(s) of funds could materially adversely affect one or both groups of investors. For example, the Sponsor, in managing the relevant multi-advisor fund(s) of funds, has a conflict of interest when reallocating capital away from one underlying fund to another between acting in the best interests of such fund of funds Investors and of the direct Investors. As a result, the Sponsor may not make allocations that it would otherwise have considered in the best interest of the relevant fund(s) of funds. Further, the Sponsor may allocate additional fund of fund capital to an underlying fund, such as the Fund, even though doing so prevents the direct Investors from themselves investing more due to capacity constraints.

Permitting different sets of Investors to participate in the same underlying portfolios increases both the conflicts of interest and the potential risks to which such Investors are subject.

Transactions Between Merrill Lynch and the Fund

Certain of the service providers to the Fund, other than the Trading Advisor, the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and outside counsel to Merrill Lynch, the Fund’s Administrator, various print and service vendors and certain financial institutions, are affiliates of Merrill Lynch, including the exclusive clearing broker for the Fund, MLPF&S. Merrill Lynch negotiated with the Trading Advisor regarding the level of its Management Fee and Performance Fee and certain other terms of its advisory agreement. However, the fees paid by the Fund to any Merrill Lynch parties were established by such parties based on rates charged to similarly-situated customers rather than being negotiated, and they are higher than would have been obtained in arm’s-length bargaining.

The Fund pays Merrill Lynch substantial brokerage commissions as well as bid-ask spreads on forward currency trades. The Fund also will pay MLPF&S interest on short-term loans extended by MLPF&S to cover losses on foreign currency positions. Merrill Lynch retains certain economic benefits from possession of the Fund’s capital.

In the case of EFP transactions with MLIB, Merrill Lynch recognizes certain incremental profits from the “differential” at which the Fund’s cash currency positions are exchanged for futures. Consequently, the Sponsor may have a financial incentive to encourage the Trading Advisor to trade EFPs to a greater extent than it otherwise might.

Certain entities in the Merrill Lynch organization, including, but not limited to, MLPF&S and MLIB, are the beneficiary of certain of the revenues generated from the Fund. The Sponsor controls the management of the Fund and serves as its sponsor. Although the Sponsor has not

sold any assets, directly or indirectly, to the Fund, the Sponsor makes substantial profits from the Fund due to the foregoing revenues.

To the extent that cash is placed with affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Merrill Lynch indirectly receives certain economic benefits and therefore has a conflict of interest in selecting such third parties. For example, Merrill Lynch may invest in money market funds managed by BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates (“BlackRock”). Merrill Lynch is a substantial stockholder in BlackRock and, therefore, potentially benefits from its economic interest in BlackRock whenever BlackRock receives compensation for managing cash invested in money market investment funds managed by BlackRock.

No loans have been, are or will be outstanding between the Sponsor or any of its principals and the Fund.

Regulation

The Sponsor is registered with the CFTC as a CPO and a CTA and is a member of NFA in such capacities. The Trading Advisor is registered with the CFTC as a CTA and is a member of NFA. The Trading Advisor also is registered with the FSA in England. MLPF&S is registered with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant and is a member of NFA in this capacity. MLPF&S is a clearing member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and is either a clearing member or member of all other principal U.S. futures and futures options exchanges. Other than in respect of requirements arising from the registration of the Fund’s securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Fund is generally not subject to regulation by the SEC. In particular, as the Fund trades primarily in commodity interests rather than securities, the Fund qualifies for an exclusion from the definition of, and is not registered as, an “investment company” under the Company Act. Consequently, Investors will not have the benefit of the investor protection provisions afforded by the Company Act. However, the Sponsor itself is registered as an “investment adviser” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. MLPF&S is also regulated by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

In addition to such registration requirements, the CFTC and certain commodity exchanges have established limits on the maximum net long or net short position which any person may hold or control in particular commodities. Most exchanges also limit the changes in futures contract prices that may occur during a single trading day. The Fund will trade currencies in the forward market and will trade futures contracts in the futures market.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Reform Act”) was enacted in July 2010. The Reform Act includes provisions that comprehensively regulate the over-the-counter derivatives markets for the first time. The Reform Act requires that a substantial portion of over-the-counter derivatives be executed in regulated markets and submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses. Those over-the-counter derivatives may include over-the-counter foreign exchange forwards and swaps which are traded by the Fund, although the U.S. Treasury has the discretion to exclude foreign exchange forwards and swaps from certain of the new regulatory requirements. If these forwards and swaps are not so excluded, the Reform Act may require them to be cleared and may subject the Fund, the Trading

Advisor, the Sponsor and/or the Fund’s counterparties to additional regulatory requirements including minimum initial and variation margin requirements, minimum capital requirements, registration with the SEC and/or the CFTC, new business conduct standards, disclosure requirements, reporting and recordkeeping requirements, transparency requirements, position limits, limitations on conflicts of interest and other regulatory burdens. Some or all of these requirements may apply even if forwards and swaps are not excluded by the U.S. Treasury. These new regulatory burdens would further increase the dealers’ costs, which costs are expected to be passed through to other market participants such as the Fund in the form of higher fees and less favorable dealer marks. They may also render certain strategies in which the Trading Advisor might otherwise engage impossible, or so costly that they will no longer be economical, to implement.

Additionally, the Reform Act, under what is commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule,” may restrict banking entities or their affiliates, such as the Sponsor, and certain other financial entities, from (i) purchasing units or other ownership interests in, or sponsoring, hedge funds or private equity funds (such as the Fund), with the exception of maintaining a de minimis investment, subject to certain other conditions and/or exceptions, (ii) engaging in proprietary trading and (iii) certain transactions involving conflicts of interest. The regulations and interpretations with respect to the Reform Act have yet to be issued, and the full import of the Reform Act is not yet clear. Once such regulations are issued and become effective, the Sponsor may take certain actions that it determines, in its sole discretion, to be necessary or advisable to comply with the Reform Act. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, the complete or partial redemption or transfer of any Units held by the Sponsor and/or the compulsory redemption of U.S. persons from the Fund. These actions may have a material adverse effect on the Fund and Investors.

None.

(d) Family Relationships

None.

(e) Business Experience

See Item 5 (a) and (b) above.

(f) Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None.

(g) Promoters and Control Persons.

On July 31, 2007, the CFTC issued an order against the Sponsor and its affiliate MLIM, to which the Sponsor and MLIM consented, containing findings, which the Sponsor and MLIM neither admitted nor denied, that the Sponsor and MLIM filed with the NFA a number of annual reports for commodity pools for which they acted as CPOs after the deadline established by the CFTC’s regulations, in violation of CFTC Regulation 4.22(c). MLIM and the Sponsor were ordered to cease and desist from violating Regulation 4.22(c) and to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $500,000.

ITEM 6: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The officers of the Sponsor are remunerated by Merrill Lynch in their respective positions. The Fund does not itself have any officers, directors or employees. None of the principals, officers or employees of the Sponsor receives compensation from the Fund. All persons serving in the capacity of officers or executives of the Sponsor are compensated by the Sponsor or an affiliate in respect of their respective positions with the Sponsor, which involve numerous duties unrelated to the operation of the Fund. The Sponsor receives a monthly Sponsor’s Fee from the Class A Units (which pay a sales commission) equal to 1/12 of 1.5% of their month-end net asset value. Class C Units (which pay no sales commissions) pay the Sponsor a monthly Sponsor’s Fee of 1/12 of 2.5% of their month-end net asset value. Class I Units (which pay a sales commission) pay the Sponsor a monthly Sponsor’s Fee of 1/12 of 1.1% of their month-end net asset value. MLPF&S will receive brokerage commissions and other compensation related to the Fund’s cash accounts as described elsewhere in this Form 10.

There are no compensation plans or arrangements relating to a change in control of either the Fund or the Sponsor.

ITEM 7: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

(d)	Transactions Between Merrill Lynch and the Fund

Many of the service providers to the Fund are affiliates of Merrill Lynch, although the Trading Advisor is not an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. The Sponsor negotiated with the Trading Advisor regarding the level of its Management Fee and Performance Fee and certain other terms of its

advisory agreement. However, the fees paid by the Fund to any Merrill Lynch parties were established by such parties based on rates charged to similarly-situated customers rather than being negotiated, and they are higher than would have been obtained in arm’s-length bargaining.

As noted above, the Fund pays Merrill Lynch substantial brokerage commissions as well as bid-ask spreads on forward currency trades. Bid-ask spreads are not a quantifiable expense of the Fund but do represent a profit margin to the dealer for making a market in currency. The Fund cannot quantify the amount of dealer profit that is embedded in a price quoted by a dealer but believes that the Fund will effect currency transactions at prevailing market prices. Dealer profit from the Fund’s currency trading may, over time, be substantial. The Fund also pays Merrill Lynch interest on short-term loans extended by Merrill Lynch to cover losses on foreign currency positions, and Merrill Lynch retains certain economic benefits from possession of the Fund’s capital.

Certain entities in the Merrill Lynch organization are the beneficiaries of certain of the revenues generated from the Fund. The Sponsor controls the management of the Fund and serves as its sponsor. Although the Sponsor has not sold any assets, directly or indirectly, to the Fund, the Sponsor makes substantial profits from the Fund due to the foregoing revenues.

No loans have been, are or will be outstanding between the Sponsor or any of its principals and the Fund.

The Sponsor pays substantial selling commissions and trailing commissions to MLPF&S for distributing the Units. The Sponsor is ultimately paid back for these expenditures from the revenues it receives from the Fund.

The Trend-Following Fund, which is operated by the Sponsor, will, and Systematic Momentum may, invest in the Units but will not be subject to selling commissions and the Sponsor’s Fee.

MLPF&S, an affiliate of the Sponsor, acts as the principal commodity broker for the Fund. Additionally, the Sponsor and its affiliates may have derived certain economic benefits from possession of the Fund’s assets, as well as from foreign exchange and exchange for physical trading.

See Item 1(c) “Narrative Description of Business — Charges” for a discussion of other business dealings between the Sponsor and the Fund.

The Fund has no parent company other than the Sponsor which controls the Fund as its sponsor.

ITEM 8: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 9: MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

ITEM 10: RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

As of September 1, 2010, the Fund had issued Units at monthly closings as set forth in the following chart.

Date of Closing:	Total Number of Investors at Closing:	Number of Units Sold at Closing:	Offering Price at Closing:
August 1, 2010 (Class DT)	1	44,633,835	$1.00
September 1, 2010 (Class A)	1	219,735	$1.00
September 1, 2010 (Class I)	4	354,450	$1.00
September 1, 2010 (Class DT)	1	237,038	$1.0272

Units are privately offered and sold only to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

No underwriting discounts or underwriting commissions will be paid in connection with such sales.

ITEM 11: DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

The securities to be registered consist of Units of limited liability company interest.

The Fund’s Operating Agreement effectively gives the Sponsor full control over the management of the Fund. Investors have no voice in its operations. The Sponsor, its affiliates and their respective officers, employees, representatives and agents (each, a “Sponsor Party” and, collectively, the “Sponsor Parties”) are exculpated and indemnified by the Fund from and against any claims, costs, expenses, damages or losses (including, without limitation, from and against any judgment, settlement, attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action or proceeding) suffered or sustained by any of them by reason of the fact that a Sponsor Party is or was connected in any respect with the Fund; provided, that the conduct or omission which led to the claim, cost, expense, damage or loss was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Fund and that such conduct or omission did not constitute gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of such Sponsor Party.

Although Investors have no right to participate in the control or management of the Fund, they are entitled to: (i) vote on or approve certain changes to the Operating Agreement or the term of the Fund, (ii) receive annual audited financial statements, such monthly information as the CFTC requires and timely tax information; (iii) inspect the Fund’s books and records; (iv) redeem Units, barring suspension of redemptions; and (v) remove the Sponsor as manager of the Fund in accordance with the procedure as set forth in the next paragraph.

Upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the Sponsor and all Investors in the Fund, the Sponsor may be required to withdraw as manager of the Fund by a vote of Investors owning not less than 50% of the Units of the Fund. Any such removal will be effective as of the end of the calendar quarter in which such vote occurs.

The Operating Agreement provides for the economic and tax allocations of the Fund’s profit and loss. Capital accounts have been established for each Unit, and for the Sponsor on a Unit-equivalent basis. Economic allocations are based on Investors’ capital accounts (including the Sponsor’s capital account), and the tax allocations generally attempt to equalize tax and capital accounts by, for example, making a priority allocation of taxable income to Investors who redeem at a profit. For the purposes of maintaining capital accounts, amounts payable to the Sponsor for items such as services fees are treated as if paid or payable to a third party and are not credited to the capital account or interest held in the Fund held by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor may amend the Operating Agreement in any manner not materially adverse to the Investors without need of obtaining their consent. These amendments can be for clarification of inaccuracies or ambiguities, modifications in response to changes in tax code or regulations or any other changes the Sponsor deems advisable.

(a)(1)(i) Dividend Rights.

Distributions, if any, may be made in the Sponsor’s discretion. No distributions have been made on the Units and none are contemplated.

(ii) Terms of Conversion.

Not applicable.

(iii) Sinking Fund Provisions.

Not applicable.

(iv) Redemption Provisions.

An Investor will be entitled to redeem as of the end of any calendar month all or part of the Investor’s Units, upon giving at least 10 days’ written or oral notice. Investors who have Merrill Lynch customer securities accounts may give such notice by contacting their Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor, orally or in writing; Investors who no longer have a Merrill Lynch customer securities account must submit written notice of redemption, with the signature guaranteed by a U.S. bank or broker-dealer, to the Sponsor. Redemption requests are irrevocable once made. The Fund does not charge a redemption fee. Units are redeemable at net asset value as of the close of business on the date of their redemption, minus any accrued fees (including Performance Fees) and brokerage commissions. The Sponsor will cause the Fund to distribute to redeeming Investors the estimated net asset value of the Units redeemed by them, generally approximately 10 business days after the effective date of redemption, although there can be no assurance of the timing of such payment. Units which have been redeemed, but the proceeds of which have not yet been paid, will nevertheless be deemed to have ceased to be outstanding from the effective date of redemption for all other purposes. No interest will be paid to Investors on redemption proceeds held pending distribution. The Fund will retain any such interest.

There is no limitation on the number of an Investor’s redemptions.

The Fund may suspend redemptions during any period for which the Sponsor is unable to value a material portion of the Fund’s positions or investments, or if the Sponsor believes that a failure to suspend redemptions would be materially adverse to continuing Investors, including, for example, situations where the bankruptcy or other distress of a broker utilized by the Fund limited the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio. In the event of suspension, the Fund will resume redemptions in accordance with normal redemption procedures when the Sponsor determines that valuations are available and/or redemptions may be resumed without a material adverse effect on existing investors, as applicable. All Units subject to suspended redemption requests will continue to be treated as outstanding for all purposes as if no redemption requests relating thereto had been submitted, until the effective date of their suspended redemption.

If the Sponsor determines that a portion, but not all, of pending redemption requests can be processed in due course, the requests of all Investors submitting timely redemption requests with

respect to any given redemption date will be satisfied pro rata (based on the aggregate net asset value of the Units requested to be redeemed by all Investors) as the Sponsor determines are available for distribution.

In addition, the Sponsor may delay or suspend the payment of redemption proceeds if the Sponsor determines that not doing so would have adverse consequences for the non-redeeming Investors.

The Sponsor may mandatorily redeem part or all of the Units held by a particular Investor if the Sponsor determines that the Investor’s continued holding of Units could result in adverse consequences to the Fund, the Investor has a history of excessive exchanges between different FuturesAccess Funds and/or funds in the Sponsor’s HedgeAccess program (“HedgeAccess”) that is contrary to the purpose and/or efficient management of FuturesAccess or HedgeAccess or, the Investor’s investment in the Units, or aggregate investment in FuturesAccess, is below the minimum level established by the Sponsor (including any increase in such minimum level that the Sponsor may implement in the future), or for any other reason.

The Sponsor will mandatorily redeem all of the Fund’s outstanding Units in the event that the Sponsor concludes that it is no longer advisable to place client capital with the Trading Advisor or if the amount of assets invested in the Fund declines to a level that the Sponsor believes makes the continued operation of the Fund impracticable or uneconomical.

Units mandatorily redeemed will be redeemed as of the specified month-end without any further action on the part of the affected Investor. In the event that the Sponsor mandatorily redeems any of an Investor’s Units, the Investor will have the option to redeem all of the Investor’s Units as of the date fixed for redemption.

In the event that the Fund is required to pay or withhold state, local or other taxes with respect to a particular Investor or Investors, the Fund may redeem an appropriate number of the Investor’s or Investors’ Units as of the end of the accounting period immediately following such payment in order to reimburse the Fund for the amount of such payment, together with interest on the amounts so paid at the 91-day Treasury bill rate as in effect as of the beginning of each calendar month, starting with the calendar month in which the payment is made, through the end of such accounting period.

As provided in the Operating Agreement, any material adverse amendment to the Fund’s redemption provisions described herein would require notice to and consent from Investors representing a majority of Units in issue.

(v) Voting Rights.

None of the Units carry any voting rights. However, the owners of the Units do have the power to approve the dissolution of the Fund at a specified time, to approve amendments to the Operating Agreement which are materially adverse to Investors by obtaining the consent of more than 50% of the aggregate value of the Units then owned by the Investors. Investors may also

remove the Sponsor as described above. Material amendments to the Operating Agreement which are not adverse to Investors may be made without obtaining the consent of Investors.

(vi) Classification of the Board of Directors.

Not applicable.

(vii) Liquidation Rights.

Upon the occurrence of an event causing the dissolution of the Fund, the Sponsor (or, if the Sponsor has withdrawn, such other liquidator as the Investors may, by vote of more than 50% of the outstanding Units, by net asset value, then held by Investors, select) will wind up the Fund’s affairs and, in connection therewith, will distribute the Fund’s assets as described below.

In connection with a dissolution of the Fund, the assets of the Fund will be distributed: first, to the payment and discharge of all claims of creditors of the Fund, including creditors who are Investors; second, to the establishment of such reserves as the Sponsor or other liquidator, in its sole discretion, may consider reasonably necessary or appropriate for any losses, contingencies, liabilities or other matters of or relating to the Fund; provided, however, that if and when the Sponsor or other liquidator in its sole discretion determines that the causes for such reserves have ceased to exist, the funds, if any, then held in reserve will be distributed in the manner hereinafter provided; and third, after making all final allocations contemplated by the Operating Agreement (and for such purposes treating the date of dissolution as if it were a December 31), to the distribution in cash of the remaining assets of the Fund among the Investors in accordance with the positive balance in each of the Investor’s closing capital accounts as of the last day of the accounting period in which the Fund’s dissolution occurs. Any assets distributed in kind in the liquidation will be valued, for purposes of distribution, in accordance with the Operating Agreement as of the date of distribution, and any difference between this value and the carrying value of the assets will, to the extent not otherwise taken into account in determining net asset value, be deemed to constitute income or loss to the Fund.

(viii) Preemption Rights.

Not applicable.

(ix) Liability Imposed on the Stockholders.

Except as otherwise provided by law, liability of Investors for the liabilities of the Fund is limited to the capital contribution of the Investor plus its share of undistributed profits and assets, if any, including any obligation under law to return to the Fund distributions and returns of contributions.

(x) Restriction on Alienability.

Units are subject to restriction on alienability. Assignment, transfer or disposition of any Units or part or all of any right, title or interest in the capital or profits of the Fund by an Investor may

only be effected by giving written notice to and receiving the written consent of the Sponsor and must be in compliance with federal and state securities laws.

(xi) Provision that Discriminates Against a Stockholder.

Not applicable.

(a)(2) – (a)(5)

Not applicable.

(b) Debt Securities.

Not applicable.

(d) Other Securities.

Securities to be registered consist of Units of Limited Liability Company Interest.

(e) Market Information on Securities Other Than Common Equity.

Not applicable.

(f) American Depository Receipts.

Not applicable.

ITEM 12: INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Fund has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor Parties from and against any claims, costs, expenses, damages or losses (including, without limitation, from and against any judgment, settlement, attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action or proceeding) suffered or sustained by any of them by reason of the fact that a Sponsor Party is or was connected in any respect with the Fund; provided, that the conduct or omission which led to the claim, cost, expense, damage or loss was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Fund and that such conduct or omission did not constitute gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of such Sponsor Party.

The Fund is obligated to advance payments asserted by a Sponsor Party to be due under the preceding paragraph pending a final determination of whether such indemnification is, in fact, due; provided, that such Sponsor Party agrees in writing to return any amounts so advanced, without interest, in the event such indemnification is finally determined not to be due.

Whether or not a Sponsor Party is entitled to indemnification will be determined by the judgment of independent counsel as to whether such Sponsor Party has reasonable grounds for asserting that indemnification is so due, unless otherwise determined by a court, arbitral tribunal or administrative forum.

In the event the Fund is made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation, or otherwise incurs any loss or expense, as a result of or in connection with any Investor’s activities, obligations or liabilities unrelated to the Fund’s business, the Investor must indemnify and reimburse the Fund for all loss and expense incurred, including attorneys’ fees.

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

1.	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

ML Man AHL FuturesAccess LLC (the “Fund”) was organized under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act on April 1, 2010 and plans on its first receipt of investor capital on August 1, 2010 and will start commercial operation upon receipt of such capital. The Fund will issue new units of limited liability company interest (“Units”) at Net Asset Value per Unit as of the beginning of each calendar month following the commencement of operations. The Fund has not issued any units as of July 31, 2010. The Fund will engage in the speculative trading of futures, options on futures and forward contracts on a wide range of commodities. Man-AHL (USA) Ltd. (the “Trading Advisor” or “Man AHL”) will be the Commodity Trading Advisor (“CTA”) of the Fund, and is not affiliated with the sponsor or the Fund.

Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC (“MLAI”) is the sponsor (“Sponsor”) and manager (“Manager”) of the Fund. MLAI is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”). Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, is the Fund’s commodity broker. Merrill Lynch is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation.

The Program is a group of commodity pools sponsored by MLAI (each pool is a “Program Fund” or collectively, “Program Funds”) each of which places substantially all of its assets in a managed futures or forward trading account managed by a single or multiple commodity trading advisors. Each Program Fund is generally similar in terms of fees, Classes of Units and redemption rights. Each of the Program Funds implements a different trading strategy.

Estimates

The preparation of the Statement of Financial Condition and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"') requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Condition and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Upon commencement of operations, commodity futures, options on futures and forward contract transactions will be recorded on trade date. Open contracts will be reflected in Net unrealized profit (loss) on open contracts in the Statement of Financial Condition as the difference between the original contract value and the market value (for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available) or at fair value.

F-3

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Fund’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it may transact business in U.S. dollars and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar will be translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statement of Financial Condition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Fund considers all highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as the Member is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such Members’ share of the Fund’s income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.

The Fund follows the ASC guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance provides how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. This guidance also requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Fund level not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

Subscriptions

Units will be offered as of the close of business at the end of each month starting in August 2010. Units are purchased as of the first business day of any month at Net Asset Value, but the subscription request must be submitted at least three calendar days before the end of the preceding month. Subscriptions submitted less than three days before the end of a month will be applied to Units subscriptions as of the beginning of the second month after receipt, unless revoked by MLAI.

Redemptions and Exchanges

A Member may redeem or exchange some or all of such Member’s Units at Net Asset Value as of the close of business, on the last business day of any month, upon ten calendar days’ notice (“notice period”).

An investor in the Fund can exchange these Units for Units of the same Class in other Program Funds as of the beginning of each calendar month upon at least ten days prior notice. The minimum exchange amount is $10,000.

Redemption requests are accepted within the notice period. The Fund does not accept any redemption requests after the notice period. All redemption requests received after the notice period will be processed for the following month.

F-4

Dissolution of the Fund

The Fund may terminate if certain circumstances occur as set forth in the private placement memorandum, which include but are not limited to the following:

(a) Bankruptcy, dissolution, withdrawal or other termination of the trading advisor of this Fund.

(b) Any event which would make unlawful the continued existence of this Fund.

2.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Fund’s U.S. dollar assets will be maintained at MLPF&S. On assets held in U.S. dollars, Merrill Lynch credits the Fund with interest at the most favorable rate payable by MLPF&S to accounts of Merrill Lynch affiliates but not less than 75% of such prevailing rate. The Fund is credited with interest on any of its assets and net gains actually held by MLPF&S non-U.S. dollar currencies at a prevailing local rate received by Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch may derive certain economic benefit, in excess of the interest which Merrill Lynch pays to the Fund, from possession of such assets.

Merrill Lynch will charge the Fund at prevailing local interest rates for financing realized and unrealized losses on the Fund’s non-U.S. dollar-denominated positions. Such amounts are netted against interest income due to the insignificance of such amounts.

The Fund’s Class A Units, when issued will, pay Sponsor fees to MLAI at a flat monthly rate equal to 0.125% (a 1.50% annual rate) of the Class’ month-end net assets, Class C Units will pay Sponsor fees to MLAI at a flat monthly rate equal to 0.2083% (a 2.50% annual rate) of the Class’ month-end net assets, and Class I Units will pay Sponsor fees to MLAI at a flat monthly rate equal to 0.0917% (a 1.10% annual rate) of the Class’ month-end net assets. Class D and Class DS units will not pay Sponsor fees.

The Fund will pay Man AHL annual management fees of 2.00% of the Fund’s average month-end net assets allocated to them after reduction for the brokerage commissions accrued with respect to such assets. MLAI will receive 50% of the 2.00% management fee for sponsoring and providing ongoing administration and operational support of the Fund.

The Fund may hold cash at an unaffiliated bank which invests such cash in a money market fund which is managed by BlackRock, a related party to MLAI. The Cash and cash equivalents as seen on the Statements of Financial Condition is the amount held by the related party. The Fund has no cash or cash equivalents at July 31, 2010.

Pursuant to an informal agreement between the Fund and MLAI, costs incurred prior to the Fund accepting external subscriptions will be indemnified by MLAI and will not constitute obligations of the Fund. As of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition no external subscriptions had been accepted, and as a result, the Fund recorded a receivable from MLAI for cost incurred through the date of the Statement of Financial Condition. Upon receipt of subscriptions, MLAI will be released from its responsibility and the expenses incurred will become the obligation of the fund.

3.	ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Fund and Man AHL have entered into an Advisory Agreement that will become effective once funds are allocated for trading (see note 6 regarding Subsequent events). This agreement shall continue in effect until June 30, 2015. Thereafter, this agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods, on the same terms, unless terminated at any time by either Man AHL or the Fund upon 90 days’ written notice to the other party. Man AHL determines the commodity futures, options on futures and forward contract trades to be made on behalf of their respective Fund accounts, subject to certain trading policies and to certain rights reserved by MLAI.

Performance fees will be charged by the Fund on any New Trading Profit, as defined in the private placement

memorandum, and are payable to Man AHL as of either the end of each calendar year or upon any interim period for which there are net redemption of Units, to the extent of the applicable percentage of any New Trading Profit attributable to such Units. The Fund will charge a 20% performance fee for Class D, DS, and DT, where as, Class A, C and I will be charged performance fees of 25%.

4.	WEIGHTED AVERAGE UNITS

The weighted average number of Units outstanding for each Class is computed for purposes of calculating net income per weighted average Unit. The weighted average number of Units outstanding for each Class for the period ended July 31, 2010 equals the Units outstanding as of such date, adjusted proportionately for Units sold or redeemed based on the respective length of time each was outstanding during the year. There are no units outstanding at July 31, 2010.

5.	INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Fund has entered, or may in the future enter into agreements that obligate the Fund to indemnify third parties, including affiliates of the Fund, for breach of certain representations and warranties made by the Fund. No claims have actually been made with respect to such indemnities and any quantification would involve hypothetical claims that have not been made. Based on the Fund’s experience, MLAI expected the risk of loss to be remote and, therefore, no provision has been recorded.

6.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Through August 30, 2010 the Fund accepted subscriptions of $44,633,835. Consequently, MLAI is no longer responsible for the organization expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations.

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on the Fund through August 30, 2010, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there were no other subsequent events that require adjustments to, or disclosure in, the financial statements.
