PART I

Item 1: Business

(a) General Development of Business:

ML Aspect FuturesAccess LLC (the “Fund”) was organized under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act on May 17, 2004 and commenced trading activities on April 1, 2005. The Fund issues new units of limited liability company interest (“Units”) at Net Asset Value per Unit (see Item 6 for discussion of net asset value and net asset value per unit for subscriptions and redemptions purposes hereinafter referred to as Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes) as of the beginning of each calendar month. The Fund engages in the speculative trading of futures, options on futures and forward contracts on a wide range of commodities. Aspect Capital Limited (“Aspect”) is the trading advisor of 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.

As of December 31, 2007, the Net Asset Value of the Fund for all other purposes was $266,034,174 and the Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes was $1.2539 for Class A, $1.2235 for Class C, $1.3244 for Class D, $1.2656 for Class I, $1.3245 for class D-SM and $1.3283 for Class D-TF. The Capitalization and Net Asset Value per Unit for financial reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) was $266,014,974 and $1.2538 for Class A, $1.2234 for Class C, $1.3241 for Class D, $1.2649 for Class I, $1.3245 for Class D-SM and $1.3283 for Class D-TF.

The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes for Class A since Aspect began trading was $1.2622 (October 31st, 2007) and the lowest was $0.9690 (April 30, 2005). The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes for Class C since Aspect began trading was $1.2361 (June 30, 2007) and the lowest was $0.9682 (April 30, 2005). The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes for Class D since Aspect began trading was $1.3299 (October 31, 2007) and the lowest was $0.9702 (April 30, 2005). The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes for Class I since Aspect began trading was $1.2732 (October 31, 2007) and the lowest was $0.9693 (April 30, 2005). The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes for Class D-SM since inception was $1.3300 (October 31, 2007) and the lowest was $1.1631 (March 30, 2007). The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes for Class D-TF since inception was $1.3338 (October 31, 2007) and the lowest was $1.1828 (August 30, 2007).

(b) Financial Information about Segments:

The Fund’s business constitutes only one segment for financial reporting purposes, i.e., a speculative “commodity pool.” The Fund does not engage in sales of goods or services.

Trading Advisor’s Trading Model

The Fund and MLAI have entered into an advisory agreement with Aspect whereby Aspect will trade in the international futures and forwards markets pursuant to the Aspect Diversified Program (the “Trading Model”).

The Trading Model, which Aspect has traded since December 1, 1998, is a broadly diversified global trading system that deploys multiple trading securities that seek to identify and exploit directional moves in market behavior of a broad range of global financial instruments including (but not limited to) bonds, currencies, interest rates, equities, equity indices, debt securities, selected physical commodities and derivatives. Its investment objective is the generation of significant medium-term capital growth independent of overall movements in

traditional stock and bond markets within a risk management framework. By maintaining comparatively small exposure to any individual market, the aim is to achieve real diversification. The Trading Model seeks to maintain positions in a variety of markets. Market concentration varies according to the strength of signals, volatility and liquidity, amongst other factors.

The core objectives of the Trading Model are to: (i) produce strong medium-term capital appreciation, that is appreciation over the course of approximately 3 to 5 years; (ii) seek and exploit profit opportunities in both rising and falling markets using a quantitative and systematic investment process; (iii) provide diversification away from overall movements in traditional investment portfolios; and (iv) minimize risk by operating in a diverse range of markets and sectors using an investment process involving pre-defined and monitored risk limits and determines market exposure in accordance with factors including (but not limited to) market correlation, volatility, liquidity and the cost of market access.

The Trading Model uses an automated system to collect, process and analyze market data (including current and historical price data and identify and exploit directional moves (or ‘trends’) in market behavior, trading across a variety of frequencies to exploit trends over a range of timescales. Positions are taken according to the aggregate signal and are adjusted to control risk.

The Trading Model is not applied by Aspect with any pre-determined preference for any market. Rather, allocations to individual markets depend upon an analysis of a range of factors which may include liquidity, correlation and cost of trading. Allocations are currently made on a long-term average risk basis which takes into account varying levels of market volatility and intra-market correlation. These allocations are subject to regular review and may change from time to time at Aspect’s discretion.

A fundamental principle of Aspect’s investment approach is the importance of a risk management framework. Aspect employs a value-at-risk methodology and other risk management procedures to monitor the risk of the Trading Model within pre-defined guidelines. Additionally, Aspect has developed mechanisms to provide that risk is controlled at both an individual market and portfolio level.

Aspect retains the right to develop and make changes to the Trading Model as its sole discretion, including (without limitation) the incorporation of new markets, instruments, strategies and assets classes into the Trading Model.

Employees

The Fund has no employees.

Use of Proceeds and Cash Management Income

Subscription Proceeds

The Fund’s cash is used as security for and to pay the Fund’s trading losses as well as its expenses and redemptions. The primary use of the proceeds of the sale of the Units is to permit Aspect to trade on a speculative basis in a wide range of different futures and forwards markets on behalf of the Fund. While being used for this purpose, the Fund’s assets are also generally available for cash management, as more fully described below under “Cash Assets”.

Market Sectors

Aspect trading involves the speculative trading of over-the-counter forward contracts and exchange traded futures contracts, although the percentage of the Fund’s assets allocated to either class of contracts will vary from time to time.

Market Types

The Fund trades on a variety of United States and foreign futures exchanges. Substantially all of the Fund’s off-exchange trading takes place in the highly liquid, institutionally based currency forward markets.

Many of the Fund’s currency trades are executed in the spot and forward foreign exchange markets (the “FX Markets”) where there are no direct execution costs. Instead, the participants, banks and dealers in the FX markets 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.

Custody of Assets

Substantially all of the Fund’s assets are currently held in Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulated customer accounts at MLPF&S.

Cash Assets

The Fund will generally earn interest, as described below, on its “Cash Assets”, which can be generally described as the cash actually held by the Fund plus its “open trade equity” (unrealized gain and loss marked to market daily on open positions). Cash Assets are held primarily in U.S. dollars, and to a lesser extent in foreign currencies, and are comprised of the Fund’s cash balances held in the offset accounts (as described below) – which include “open trade equity” (unrealized gain and loss on open positions) on United States futures contracts, which is paid into or out of the Fund’s account on a daily basis; the Fund’s cash balances in foreign currencies derived from its trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated futures and options contracts, which includes open trade equity on those exchanges which settle gains and losses on open positions in such contracts prior to closing out such positions. Cash Assets do 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 foreign futures positions since such gains and losses are not collected or paid until such positions are closed out.

The Fund’s Cash Assets 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.

Interest Earned on the Fund’s U.S. Dollar Cash Assets

The Fund’s U.S. dollar Cash Assets are held in cash at MLPF&S, which utilizes offset accounts.

Offset accounts are non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts maintained with banks unaffiliated with Merrill Lynch. An integral feature of the offset arrangements is that the participating banks specifically acknowledge that the offset accounts are MLPF&S customer accounts, not subject to any Merrill Lynch liability.

MLPF&S 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.

The banks at which the offset accounts are maintained make available to Merrill Lynch interest-free overnight credits, loans or overdrafts in the amount of the Fund’s U.S. dollar Cash Assets held in the offset accounts, charging Merrill Lynch a small fee for this service. The economic benefits derived by Merrill Lynch – net of the interest credits paid to the Fund and the fee paid to the offset banks – from the offset accounts have not exceeded 0.75% per annum of the Fund’s average daily U.S. dollar Cash Assets held in the offset accounts. These

revenues to Merrill Lynch are in addition to the Brokerage Commissions and Sponsor fees paid by the Fund to MLPF&S and MLAI, respectively.

Interest Paid by Merrill Lynch on the Fund’s Non-U.S. Dollar Cash Assets

Under the single currency margining system implemented for the Fund, the Fund itself does not deposit foreign currencies to margin trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated futures contracts and options, if any. MLPF&S provides the necessary margin, permitting the Fund to retain the monies which would otherwise be required for such margin as part of the Fund’s U.S. dollar Cash Assets. The Fund does not earn interest on foreign margin deposits provided by MLPF&S. The Fund does, however, earn interest on its non-U.S. dollar Cash Assets. Specifically, the Fund is credited by Merrill Lynch with interest at prevailing short-term local rates on assets and net gains on non-U.S. dollar denominated positions for such gains actually held in cash by the Fund. Merrill Lynch charges the Fund Merrill Lynch’s cost of financing realized and unrealized losses on such positions.

The Fund may hold foreign currency gains and finances foreign currency losses on an interim basis until converted into U.S. dollars and either paid into or out of the Fund’s U.S. dollar Cash Assets which generally occurs weekly. Foreign currency gains or losses on open positions are not converted into U.S. dollars until the positions are closed. Assets of the Fund while held in foreign currencies are subject to exchange rate risk.

However, MLAI itself is registered as an “investment advisor” under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. MLPF&S is also regulated by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the “FINRA”).

(d) Financial Information about Geographic Areas

Item 1A: Risk Factors

Past Performance Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Results

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The trading advisor’s past performance may not be representative of how it may trade in the future for the Fund.

Volatile Markets; Highly Leveraged Trading

Futures and forward trading is highly leveraged, and market price levels are volatile and materially affected by unpredictable factors such as weather and governmental intervention. The combination of leverage and volatility creates a high degree of risk.

Importance of General Market Conditions

Overall market or economic conditions — which neither MLAI nor the trading advisor can predict or control — have a material effect on the performance of any managed futures strategy.

Forward Trading

The Fund will trade currencies in the forward markets in addition to in the futures markets. The forward markets are over-the-counter, not exchange, markets, and in trading in these markets, the Fund will be dependent on the credit standing of the counterparties with which they trade, without the financial support of any clearinghouse system. In addition, the prices offered for the same forward contract may vary significantly among different forward market participants. Forward market counterparties are under no obligation to enter into forward transactions with the Fund, including transactions through which the Fund is attempting to liquidate open positions.

Increased Assets Under Management

There appears to be a tendency for the rates of return achieved by managed futures advisors to decline as assets under management increase. The trading advisor has not agreed to limit the amount of additional equity which it may manage.

Trading Advisor Risk

The Fund is subject to the risk of the bad judgment, negligence or misconduct of its trading advisor. There have been a number of instances in recent years in which private investment funds have incurred substantial losses due trading advisor misconduct.

Changes in Trading Strategy

The trading advisor may make material changes in its trading strategies without the knowledge of MLAI.

Illiquid Markets

Certain positions held by the Fund may become illiquid, preventing the Fund’s trading advisor from acquiring positions otherwise indicated by its strategy or making it impossible for the trading advisor to close out positions against which the market is moving.

Certain futures markets are subject to “daily price limits,” restricting the maximum amount by which the price of a particular contract can change during any given trading day. Once a contract’s price has moved “the limit,” it may be impossible or economically non-viable to execute trades in such contract. From time to time, prices have moved “the limit” for a number of consecutive days, making it impossible for traders against whose positions the market was moving to prevent large losses.

Trading on Non-U.S. Exchanges

The trading advisor may trade extensively on non-U.S. exchanges. These exchanges are not regulated by any United States governmental agency. The Fund could incur substantial losses trading on foreign exchanges to which it would not have been subject had its trading advisor limited its trading to U.S. markets.

The profits and losses derived from trading foreign futures and options will generally be denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, the Fund will be subject to a certain degree of exchange-rate risk in trading such contracts.

The Fund Could Lose Assets and Have Its Trading Disrupted Due to the Bankruptcy of One of the Parties.

The Fund is subject to the risk of insolvency of counterparty, an exchange, a clearinghouse or MLPF&S. Fund assets could be lost or impounded during lengthy bankruptcy proceedings. Were a substantial portion of the Fund’s capital tied up in a bankruptcy, MLAI might suspend or limit trading, perhaps causing the Fund to miss significant profit opportunities. There are increased risks in dealing with unregulated trading counterparties including the risk that assets may not benefit from the protection afforded to “customer funds” deposited with regulated dealers and brokers.

Item 1B: Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2: Properties

The Fund does not use any physical properties in the conduct of its business.

The Fund’s administrative offices are the administrative offices of MLAI (Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC, Hopewell Corporate Campus, 1200 Merrill Lynch Drive – First Floor, Pennington, New Jersey 08534). MLAI performs administrative services for the Fund from MLAI’s offices.

For financial reporting purposes, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Fund deducted the total initial offering costs payable to MLAI at inception from Members’ Capital for purposes of determining Net Asset Value. For all other purposes, including computing Net Asset Value for purposes of member subscription and redemption activity, such payment is amortized over 60 months. Consequently, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Unit of the different Classes for financial reporting purposes and for all other purposes are as follows:

(1) Certain Funds, including Funds sponsored by MLAI, are structured so as to guarantee to investors that their investment will be worth no less than a specified amount (typically, the initial purchase price) as of a date certain after the date of investment. The CFTC refers to such Funds as “principal protected”. The Fund has no such feature.

(2) Worst Monthly Drawdown represents the largest negative Monthly Rate of Return experienced since April 1, 2005 by the Fund; a drawdown is measured on the basis of month-end Net Asset Value only, and does not reflect intra-month figures.

(3) Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown represents the greatest percentage decline since April 1, 2005 from a month-end cumulative Monthly Rate of Return without such cumulative Monthly Rate of Return being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end. For example, if the Monthly Rate of Return was -1% in each of January and February, 1% in March and - -2% in April, the Peak-to-Valley Drawdown would still be continuing at the end of April in the amount of approximately -3%, whereas if the Monthly Rate of Return had been approximately 3% in March, the Peak-to-Valley Drawdown would have ended as of the end of February at approximately the -2% level.

(4) Monthly Rate of Return is the net performance of the Fund during the month of determination (including interest income and after all expenses have been accrued or paid) divided by the total capital of the Fund as of the beginning of such month.

(5) The information presented is based on Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes. The inception to date total return based on U.S. GAAP is 25.38%.

(2) Worst Monthly Drawdown represents the largest negative Monthly Rate of Return experienced since June 1, 2007 by the Fund; a drawdown is measured on the basis of month-end Net Asset Value only, and does not reflect intra-month figures.

(3) Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown represents the greatest percentage decline since June 1, 2007 from a month-end cumulative Monthly Rate of Return without such cumulative Monthly Rate of Return being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end. For example, if the Monthly Rate of Return was -1% in each of January and February, 1% in March and - -2% in April, the Peak-to-Valley Drawdown would still be continuing at the end of April in the amount of approximately –3%, whereas if the Monthly Rate of Return had been approximately 3% in March, the Peak-to-Valley Drawdown would have ended as of the end of February at approximately the -2% level.

(5) The information presented is based on Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Unit for all other purposes. The inception to date total return based on U.S. GAAP is 3.81%.

Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Operational Overview

This performance summary is an outline description of how the Fund performed in the past, not necessarily any indication of how it will perform in the future. In addition, the general causes to which certain price movements are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such movements, but simply occurred at or about the same time.

The Fund is unlikely to be profitable in markets in which such trends do not occur. Static or erratic prices are likely to result in losses. Similarly, unexpected events (for example, a political upheaval, natural disaster or governmental intervention) can lead to major short-term losses, as well as gains.

While there can be no assurance that the Fund will be profitable under any given market condition, markets in which substantial and sustained price movements occur typically offer the best profit potential for the Fund.

The Fund posted profits for the year with energy, agriculture, currency and interest rate sectors posting gains, while stock indices and the metals sectors posted losses.

The energy sector posted profits for the Fund. Short positions in oil posted gains for the Fund at the beginning of the year as oil prices continued to fall. Gains were offset by losses posted for the Fund through the end of first quarter as oil prices rallied against the Fund’s short positions driven by mounting geopolitical pressures. However, profits were posted at the beginning and at the end of the second quarter even through a difficult trading environment and weather conditions. Profits were posted to the Fund in the third quarter due to the Fund’s long positions in crude oil as prices in the commodity struck all time highs. The Fund’s long positions in oil continued to be profitable as the year ended due to a successful complex rally on the back of large draws on the U.S. inventories and geopolitical tensions.

The agricultural sector posted profits for the Fund. The agricultural market was soft at the beginning of the year which attributed to the difficult trading environment resulting in gains in the middle of the first quarter only. Losses were posted at the beginning and at the end of the first quarter as the price reversal in corn was a key element of the losses in the sector. Losses continued to be posted to the Fund at the beginning of the second quarter as cocoa prices reversed sharply against the Fund’s long positions along with corn and soybean as prices continued to slide on the

release of the United States Department of Agriculture crop estimates for the 2007 planting season. Profits offset losses for the Fund mid to the end of the second quarter due to Fund’s long positions in soybeans after prices rocketed in the wake of a U.S. Department of Agriculture report that showed planted soybean acreage had fallen below earlier forecasts. Losses were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the third quarter due to losses in cocoa contracts which continued into the middle of the third quarter. The third quarter ended with profits posted to the Fund due to the long positions in soybeans and wheat producing the biggest gains for the Fund. Profits continued to be posted to the Fund as the year ended due to the Fund’s long positions in soybeans which was the strongest performer in the sector after prices hit a 34 year high on reports of low stockpiles.

The currency sector posted profits for the Fund. The year began with gains posted to the Fund due to the short positions of the sell off in the U.K. gilts and the British pound following the Bank of England’s surprise decision to raise core interest rates. The U.S. dollar/Japanese yen cross-rate drove returns as the long positions in the U.S. dollar strengthened following the U.S. economic data releases and the lack of rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. In the wake of increased market volatility mid-quarter, the Japanese yen strengthened against the major currencies as investors liquidated their Japanese yen carry trade positions. This caused losses due to the short positions in the Japanese yen. However, the first quarter ended with currencies posting gains as the short positions in Euribor and the British pound were profitable as prices fell, helped by stronger than expected economic data releases in the United Kingdom and Euro zone. The sector’s key holdings benefited from the weakening of both the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar at the beginning of the second quarter. In Japan, the lack of a core rate hike by the Bank of Japan and reports of a negative Consumer Price Index (CPI) figure for the year to March contributed to sending the Japanese yen lower against the U.S. dollar and euro. Elsewhere, the U.S. dollar depreciated on weak data releases including a below forecast Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figure that hinted at slowing growth in the U.S. The second quarter ended with profits being posted to the Fund as gains in the New Zealand dollar, Japanese yen and Australian dollar cross-rates against the U.S. dollar offset losses in the U.S. dollar/Confoederatio Helvetica franc (CHF) positions. At the beginning of the third quarter losses were posted to the Fund due to the long positions in the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen. The reduction in risk appetite was particularly visible in some currency markets mid-quarter as long-held carry trade positions reversed resulting in losses for the fund due to the New Zealand dollar versus the U.S. dollar and the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen positions. Profits were posted to the Fund at the end of the third quarter due to the depreciation of the U.S. currency amid a stream of weak economic data releases from the U.S. The Euro versus the U.S. dollar long positions and the short positions in the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar trades also contributed to the Fund’s profits. Losses were posted for the Fund at the end of the year due to losses in the long position with the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar versus the CHF contracts in spite of gains made in the short positions between the Euro versus the NOK positions as high energy prices supported the Norwegian currency.

The interest rate sector posted gains for the Fund. The year began with gains being posted to the Fund at the beginning and the end of the first quarter due to the volatile market environment. At the beginning of the second quarter through the mid quarter gains were posted to the Fund. In the United Kingdom, the Bank of England signaled its intention to combat the current elevated levels of inflation after raising core interest rates by 25 basis points and stating in the subsequent Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) minutes that a larger hike had also been considered. European debt prices also finished down following the release of above expectations regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data and strong indications from the European Central Bank (ECB) that rates would rise again in June. The short positions in bonds and interest rates were the most profitable positions at the quarters end. Bond prices fell following strong U.S. retail sales figures and above expectation Producer Price Index data (PPI). A big move in the sector involved United Kingdom contracts after a surprisingly hawkish set of Monetary Policy Committee minutes helped to suppress prices. Losses were posted to the Fund throughout the third quarter due to bonds being the worst performing sector for the Fund after prices rallied on rising concerns over the quality of the credit markets. The downgrading of substantial quantities of mortgage-backed securities, the collapse of two Bear Stearns funds and further concerns of significant sub-prime related losses fuelled a flight to quality. A long position in the interest rate model was not enough to offset losses incurred third mid-quarter. Short position in the British sterling was the major drag on performance as prices rallied against the Fund’s short position. Profits were posted for the Fund at the beginning of the fourth quarter only to be offset as the year ended as bonds were sold off against the Fund’s long positions due to strong U.S. data and a less aggressive Federal Open Market Committee rate cut than some investors had expected.

The metals sector posted losses for the Fund. The beginning of the year began with losses being posted to the Fund which carried through middle part of the first quarter due to a sell off of the long positions in copper and zinc however, the quarter ended with gains being posted to the Fund. Profits were posted at the beginning of the second quarter as metals benefited from the re-emergence of stable trends as prices driven by tightening fundamentals and demand growth rallied. Metals finished on a loss mid quarter as prices were driven down on profit-taking and concerns over the strength of future Chinese demand. The quarter ended with losses being posted to the Fund due to supply tightness and bouts of increased risk aversion. Long positions in metals finished profitably at the beginning of the quarter as prices generally rose across the sector. However, suppressed by inventory increases and concerns over U.S. demand, prices were pushed down posting losses to the Fund mid-quarter through the end of the third quarter. The long positions in gold and the short positions in aluminum drove returns resulting in profits posted to the Fund as the year ended.

The stock indices sector posted losses for the Fund. Long Japanese positions posted the best gains at the beginning of the year as markets rallied on the exporter friendly depreciation of the Japanese yen and a revival in oil prices. Losses posted mid-quarter were due to the reduced long positions in stock indices hurt by the continued fallout from the equity market sell-off at the end of February which continued through to the end of the first quarter. Long positions held across the sector were profitable for the Fund at the beginning through the middle of the second quarter as global equity markets continued to recover from their lows in March. The second quarter ended in negative territory, as conditions remained volatile and largely trend-less amid investor concerns over inflation and high yields. Concerns of significant sub-prime related losses at the beginning of the third quarter caused equities to be sold off sharply, hurting the Fund’s long exposure to the stock indices sector. Conditions were also volatile in the global equity markets mid-quarter as some stock indices had fallen to their lowest levels of the year. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng stock exchange long positions aided the stock indices sector as equities generally rallied at the end of the third quarter posting profits for the fund. The year ended with losses being posted for the Fund. Bonds were sold off against the Fund’s long positions due to the strong U.S. data and a less aggressive Federal Open Market Committee rate cut than some investors had expected.

The Fund posted an overall gain for the year with stock indices, metals, currency and energy sectors posted gains while agricultural and interest rate sectors posted losses.

The stock indices sector was the most profitable for the Fund. Stock indices continued their recent rally to the benefit of the Fund, despite a sharp correction the beginning of the year following the Japanese Livedoor scandal. U.S. and global indices reacted to strong mid-and small-cap U.S. corporate results, and sentiment regarding the rate cycle, while Europe was lifted by large cap Mergers and Acquisitions activity and high commodity prices. Long positions in stocks returned strong performances mid-year as stocks rallied on the back of falling energy prices and conservative interest rate expectations. The year ended with long positions posting gains after global equity markets rallied on weak Consumer Price Index data, falling oil prices and reignited talk of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut early in 2007.

The metals sector was also profitable for the Fund. Strong profits came from the sector at the beginning of the year as prices were driven higher by global industrial growth set against producers’ capacity problems. Aluminum had large gains as smelter closed in China and Switzerland, while zinc was helped by decreasing inventories. Several metals posted record highs the beginning of April as robust Chinese economic growth further increased global demand. Profits continued to be posted in the metals sector however, mid-year gold and silver long positions were hit as prices were dragged down by a stronger U.S. dollar, weaker oil prices and fears that global economic slowdown would hamper the commodities rally. Metals rallied towards the end of the year driven by high demand and tight supply, with long positions in zinc and aluminum posting good returns.

The currency sector posted gains for the Fund. The year began with bonds posting a loss for the Fund, with their meager rally extinguished by a sharp correction by a strong German IFO Index survey, a closing of European/U.S. interest rate differentials and Japanese price increases. However, the Fund did profit from the weakening Swedish krona after bearish Swedish inflation figures, and from the strengthening U.S. dollar. The Japanese yen presented problems, however, as it strengthened amid speculation that Japanese rates might be raised sooner than expected. The Bank of Japan’s decision on March 9, 2006 to drop its policy of “quantitative easing” caused yields to rise sharply. A fall in the price of the Euribor was triggered by various data releases fuelling expectations of further rate hikes from the European Central Bank. Falling energy prices and conservative rate expectations mid-year aided the currency sector returns. The Bank of England and the European Central Bank rate hikes strengthened the British pound and Euro long positions, while Japanese yen short positions realized gains as the currency depreciated. Profit and loss were predominantly driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The year ended as the Japanese yen devalued against the U.S. dollar and the Euro after downward revisions were made to the Japanese third quarter gross domestic product figures.

The energy sector results were nearly flat for the year. Beginning of the year crude oil suffered heavily when the price dropped by nearly U.S. $10/bbl amid bountiful inventory figures, before recovering somewhat following violence in Nigeria and an attempted refinery bombing in Saudi Arabia. Crude oil prices rose only to have a sharp reversal in oil price movements, combined with a rapid rise in natural gas prices posted losses. Long positions suffered losses as fears surrounding the U.S. hurricane season, the closure of Prudhoe Bay and the Israeli-Lebanese conflict begin to fade. Gains were posted as the U.S. dollar strengthened, oil prices weakened and fears that a global economic slowdown would hamper the commodities rally. However, the gains were not enough to offset the losses. The year ended with a sharp sell-off in natural gas following announcements from the National Weather Service that the current mild weather across the U.S. will last into January 2007.

The interest rate sector posted losses for the Fund. The beginning of the year interest rates posted gains due to short positions in the Eurodollar which profited from market expectations of further U.S. rate hikes. Profits continued to be posted mid-year as short positions in the Eurodollar profited from market participants’ focusing their attention on the central banks announcements and commentaries on inflation. Late in the year, conservative interest rate expectations and market volatility caused the sector to post losses.

The agricultural sector posted losses for the Fund. In the beginning of the year, the agricultural market was soft which attributed to the difficult trading environment resulting in the sector posting losses. Losses continued through mid-year as cocoa prices continued the bullish trend from June but long positions were then hit by a large drop. Soybean short positions and Robusta coffee long positions posted gains. The year ended with corn long positions posting gains amid heavy speculative buying and increased demand from ethanol producers.

The Fund posted an overall gain for the period with stock indices, metals and currency sectors posting gains while agricultural commodities, energy and interest rate sectors posted losses. The Fund started trading at the beginning of the second quarter.

Stock indices were the most profitable for the Fund. Even though trading was turbulent in the second quarter due primarily to the Asian indices, the quarter ended with gains in the Asian and European markets. With the S&P 500 reaching four year highs, the Fund had posted strong returns from Asian indices and the DAX index during the third quarter. The third quarter ended with an upward trend in global equity markets, with the exception of a flat U.S. market which contributed to stock index positions performing strongly. Japanese stocks enjoyed particularly strong growth after Prime Minister Koizumi’s election victory and positive economic reports. The beginning of the fourth quarter had losses in the global stock indices as U.S. domestic stocks and foreign exporters were dragged down on inflation concerns only to rebound in the middle of the fourth quarter due to the optimistic economic outlook in the U.S., Japan and Euro zone markets. The year ended with good profits from the stock indices where positive sentiment spurred on further gains, with the notable exception of the U.S. markets. The Nikkei continued its strong run, drawing foreign investment and pulling other Asian indices with it.

The metals sector was also profitable for this Fund. Losses were incurred at the beginning of the second quarter due to a sharp drop in metals markets after copper reached new highs, hurting the long positions held in the Fund. Small losses continued through the beginning of the third quarter. However, the gold market was the strong performer at the end of the third quarter. Inflation became a bigger concern than slowing growth, which stimulated the gold market. The fourth quarter also showed profits for the metals sector due to the recent trend of speculative buying and strong Chinese growth. Profits continued through the end of the year benefiting from a bullish market environment due to supply concerns. Rumors of a massive copper short position also moved prices higher. The year ended with the bullish speculative environment fueling long term trends.

The currency sector posted gains for this Fund. The currency markets were dominated by the strengthening U.S. dollar and the Euro falling to a seven month low after the French rejected the European constitution. Currency markets were very volatile in reaction to China ending its policy of pegging its currency at 8.3 Chinese yuan to the U.S. dollar. During the third quarter, the U.S. dollar declined against most major currencies due to the expected slowdown in growth because of higher energy prices in the U.S. The Japanese yen, which has been weakening against the U.S. dollar for much of 2005, suddenly rallied as December’s U.S. Federal Reserve comments led to suggestions of an end to interest rate hikes in the very near future. Elsewhere, high yielding currencies suffered reversals as the sustainability of their corresponding interest rate cycles appeared to be coming to an end.

The agricultural commodities sector posted losses for the Fund. The third quarter was the only profitable quarter due to trading short in grains and cocoa. The agricultural market was soft which attributed to the difficult trading environment resulting in the Fund posting losses for this sector.

The energy sector posted losses for the Fund. Trading in energies was difficult in the second quarter as crude fell back from its highs, and remained volatile amid speculation about refinery capacity issues. The beginning of the third quarter had volatile reversals in price as bad weather threatened to disrupt supplies with profits in the middle of the quarter due to the Fund’s long positions reaping the benefits of the record high oil prices and reversing at the end of the quarter after Hurricane Rita’s impact was less than what was originally feared. Profits in natural gas reached an all-time high as refinery concerns continued only to decline at the end of the fourth quarter with natural gas being very volatile as an increase by 30% causing the Fund to increase its long position, before falling back 35% causing the Fund to lose profits.

The interest rate sector was the least profitable for the Fund. The second quarter was the only profitable quarter due to short term interest rates speculating on the next downward move in U.K. interest rates. The rest of the year became a very difficult environment due to the fact that the U.S. Federal Reserve continued to raise short-term rates only to start discussion of slowing the rates down.

Variables Affecting Performance

The principal variables that determine the net performance of the Fund are gross profitability from the Fund’s trading activities and interest income.

During all periods set forth above “Selected Financial Data”, the interest rates in many countries were at unusually low levels. The low interest rates in the United States (although higher than in many other countries) negatively impacted revenues because interest income is typically a major component of the Fund’s profitability. In addition, low interest rates are frequently associated with reduced fixed income market volatility, and in static markets the Fund’s profit potential generally tends to be diminished. On the other hand, during periods of higher interest rates, the relative attractiveness of a high risk investment such as the Fund may be reduced as compared to high yielding and much lower risk fixed-income investments.

The Fund’s Management Fees and Sponsor Fees are a constant percentage of the Fund costs. Brokerage Commissions which are not based on a percentage of the Fund’s assets are based on actual round turns. The Performance Fees payable to Aspect are based on the new Trading Profits generated by the Fund excluding interest and after reduction of the Brokerage Commissions.

Unlike many investment fields, there is no meaningful distinction in the operation of the Fund between realized and unrealized profits. Most of the contracts traded by the Fund are highly liquid and can be closed out at any time.

Except in unusual circumstances, factors—regulatory approvals, cost of goods sold, employee relations and the like—which often materially affect an operating business have virtually no impact on the Fund.

Liquidity; Capital Resources

The Fund borrows only to a limited extent and only on a strictly short-term basis in order to finance losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated trading positions pending the conversion of the Fund’s U.S. dollar deposits. These borrowings are at a prevailing short-term rate in the relevant currency.

Substantially all of the Fund’s assets are held in cash. The Net Asset Value of the Fund’s cash is not affected by inflation. However, changes in interest rates could cause periods of strong up or down price trends, during which the Fund’s profit potential generally increases. Inflation in commodity prices could also generate price movements, which the strategies might successfully follow.

Because substantially all of the Fund’s assets are held in cash, the Fund should be able to close out any or all of its open trading positions and liquidate any or all of its securities holdings quickly and at market prices, except in very unusual circumstances. This permits Aspect to limit losses as well as reduce market exposure on short notice should its strategies indicate doing so. In addition, because there is a readily available market value for the Fund’s positions and assets, the Fund’s monthly Net Asset Value calculations are precise, and investors need to provide ten business days notice to receive the full redemption proceeds of their Units on the last business day of any month.

(The Fund has no applicable off-balance sheet arrangements and tabular disclosure or contractual obligations of the type described in Items 3.03(a)(4) and 3.03(a)(5) of Regulation S-K.)

Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Introduction

The Fund is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes and all or substantially all of the Fund’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Fund’s main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Fund’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Fund’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Fund’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

The Fund, under the direction of Aspect, rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Fund’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Fund could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Fund’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Fund of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Fund’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the quantifications included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Fund’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Fund’s attempts to manage its market risk.

Quantifying The Fund’s Trading Value At Risk

Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statement” within the meaning of the safe harbor form civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27Aof the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.

The Fund’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by Aspect is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Fund’s mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Fund’s open positions is directly reflected in the Fund’s earnings (realized or unrealized) and cash flow (at least in the case of exchange-traded contracts in which profits and losses on open positions are settled daily through variation margin).

Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Fund as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum loss in the fair value of any given contract incurred in 95%-99% of the one-day time periods included in the historical sample (generally approximately one year) researched for purposes of establishing margin levels. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation.

In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not exchange-traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Fund), the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as Value at Risk. In those rare cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have been used.

100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have been aggregated to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Fund’s positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.

The Fund’s Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors

The following table indicates the average, highest and lowest trading Value at Risk associated with the Fund’s open positions by market category for the fiscal period. During the years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and for the period from April 1, 2005 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2005, the Fund’s average Month-end Net Asset Value for all other purposes was approximately $209,511,078, $69,564,476 and $19,845,219, respectively.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Fund is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (maintenance margin requirements generally ranging between approximately 1% and 10% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Fund. The magnitude of the Fund’s open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions — unusual, but historically recurring from time to time — could cause the Fund to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table — as well as the past performance of the Fund — gives no indication of this “risk of ruin.”

Non-Trading Risk

Foreign Currency Balances; Cash on Deposit with MLPF&S

The Fund has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as the market risk they represent) are immaterial.

The Fund also has non-trading market risk on the approximately 90%-95% of its assets which are held in cash at MLPF&S. The value of this cash is not interest rate sensitive, but there is cash flow risk in that if interest rates decline so will the cash flow generated on these monies. This cash flow risk is immaterial.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Fund manages its primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Fund’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by MLAI and Aspect for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Fund’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of the time value of their investment in the Fund.

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Fund as of December 31, 2007, by market sector.

Interest Rates.

Interest rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Fund. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of derivative sovereign bond positions held by the Fund and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Fund’s profitability. The Fund’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. However, the Fund also takes positions in the government debt of smaller nations e.g., Australia. MLAI anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary market exposure of the Fund for the foreseeable future.

Currencies.

The Fund trades in a number of currencies. However, the Fund’s major exposures have typically been in the U.S. dollar/Japanese yen, U.S. dollar/Euro and U.S. dollar/Swiss franc positions. The Fund does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Fund’s currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk of maintaining Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.

Stock Indices.

The Fund’s primary equity exposure is to S&P 500, Nikkei and German DAX equity index price movements. The Fund is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Asian indices.

Metals.

The Fund’s metals market exposure is to fluctuations in both the price of precious and non-precious metals.

Agricultural Commodities.

The Fund’s primary agricultural commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Grains, cocoa and livestock accounted for the substantial bulk of the Fund’s agricultural commodities exposure as of December 31, 2007.

Energy.

The Fund’s primary energy market exposure is to natural gas and crude oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East. Oil prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Fund as of December 31, 2007.

Foreign Currency Balances.

The Fund’s primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, British pounds, Norwegian Krone, Swiss Franc and Euros.

U.S. Dollar Cash Balance.

The Fund holds U.S. dollars only in cash at MLPF&S. The Fund has immaterial cash flow interest rate risk on its cash on deposit with MLPF&S in that declining interest rates would cause the income from such cash to decline.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

Trading Risk

MLAI has procedures in place intended to control market risk, although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doing so. While MLAI does not itself intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the Fund’s market exposure, MLAI may urge Aspect to reallocate positions in an attempt to avoid over-concentrations. However, such interventions are unusual. Except in cases in which it appears that Aspect has begun to deviate from past practice and trading policies or to be trading erratically, MLAI’s basic control procedures consist of simply of the ongoing process of monitoring Aspect with the market risk controls being applied by Aspect itself.

Risk Management

Aspect attempts to control risk in all aspects of the investment process — from confirmation of a trend to determining the optimal exposure in a given market, and to money management issues such as the startup or upgrade of investor accounts. Aspect double checks the accuracy of market data, and will not trade a market without multiple price sources for analytical input. In constructing a portfolio, Aspect seeks to control overall risk as well as the risk of any one position, and Aspect trades only markets that have been identified as having positive performance characteristics. Trading discipline requires plans for the exit of a market as well as for entry. Aspect factors the point of exit into the decision to enter (stop loss). The size of Aspect’s positions in a particular market is not a matter of how large a return can be generated but of how much risk it is willing to take relative to that expected return.

To attempt to reduce the risk of volatility while maintaining the potential for excellent performance, proprietary research is conducted on an ongoing basis to refine the Aspect investment strategies. Research may suggest substitution of alternative investment methodologies with respect to particular contracts; this may occur, for example, when the testing of a new methodology has indicated that its use might have resulted in different historical performance. In addition, risk management research and analysis may suggest modifications regarding the relative weighting among various contracts, the addition or deletion of particular contracts for a program, or a change in position size in relation to account equity. The weighting of capital committed to various markets in the investment programs is dynamic, and Aspect may vary the weighting at its discretion as market conditions, liquidity, position limit considerations and other factors warrant.

Aspect may determine that risks arise when markets are illiquid or erratic, which may occur cyclically during holiday seasons, or on the basis of irregularly occurring market events. In such cases, Aspect at its sole discretion may override computer-generated signals and may at times use discretion in the application of its quantitative models, which may affect performance positively or negatively.

Adjustments in position size in relation to account equity have been and continue to be an integral part of Aspect’s investment strategy. At its discretion, Aspect may adjust the size of a position in relation to equity in certain markets or entire programs. Such adjustments may be made at certain times for some programs but not for others. Factors which may affect the decision to adjust the size of a position in relation to account equity include ongoing research, program volatility, assessments of current market volatility and risk exposure, subjective judgment, and evaluation of these and other general market conditions.

Non-Trading Risk

The Fund controls the non-trading exchange rate risk by regularly converting foreign balances back into U.S. dollars at least once per week, and more frequently if a particular foreign currency balance becomes unusually high.

The Fund has cash flow interest rate risk on its cash on deposit with MLPF&S in that declining interest rates would cause the income from such cash to decline. However, a certain amount of cash or cash

equivalents must be held by the Fund in order to facilitate margin payments and pay expenses and redemptions. MLAI does not take any steps to limit the cash flow risk on its cash held on deposit at MLPF&S

Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no changes in or disagreements with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm on accounting and financial disclosure.

Item 9A(T): Controls and Procedures

MLAI’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of the Fund, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the Fund as of and for the year which ended December 31, 2007, and, based on its evaluation, has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Additionally, there were no significant changes in the Fund’s internal controls over financial reporting which materially affect such internal control.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act ) occurred during the year ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Fund’s internal control, over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

The Fund’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Fund’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of MLAI’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of the Fund and is effected by management, other personnel and service providers 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 and included those policy and procedures that:

· Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Fund.

· 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 Fund are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Fund; and

· Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the Fund’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting can only provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in condition, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Fund’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting as December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework”.

Based on its assessment the Fund’s management concluded that at December 31, 2007, the Fund’s internal control over financial report was effective.

All of the service providers to the Fund, other than Aspect, are affiliates of Merrill Lynch or have been approved by Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch negotiated with Aspect over the level of its consulting fees and performance fees. However, none of the fees paid by the Fund to any Merrill Lynch party were negotiated, and they are higher than would have been obtained in arms-length bargaining.

The Fund pays MLAI & MLPF&S Brokerage Commissions, Sponsor Fees and Management Fees as well as bid-ask spreads on forward currency trades. The Fund also pays MLPF&S interest on short-term loans extended by MLPF&S to cover losses on foreign currency positions.

Within the Merrill Lynch organization, MLAI is the beneficiary of the revenues received by different Merrill Lynch entities from the Fund. MLAI controls the management of the Fund and serves as its promoter. Although MLAI has not sold any assets, directly or indirectly, to the Fund, MLAI makes substantial profits from the Fund due to the foregoing revenues.

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

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

(b) Certain Business Relationships:

MLPF&S, an affiliate of MLAI, acts as the principal commodity broker for the Fund.

In 2007, the Fund expensed: (i) Brokerage Commissions of $1,052,707 to MLPF&S, $4,139,254 in Management Fees earned by Aspect; and (ii) Sponsor Fees of $2,781,129 to MLAI.

No fees were paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP, Deloitte Tax LLP, or any member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and their respective affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for any other professional services in relation to the Fund.
