(a Delaware Limited Liability Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ML Aspect FuturesAccess LLC (the “Fund”), a Merrill Lynch FuturesAccess Program (the “Program”) 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 2 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) 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” or “trading advisor”) is the trading advisor of the Fund.

Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC (“MLAI” or the “Sponsor”) is the Sponsor 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.

The Fund offers six Classes of Units:  Class A, Class C, Class D, DT, DS, and Class I.  Each Class of Units except for DT and DS was offered at $1.00 per Unit during the initial offering period and subsequently is offered at Net Asset Value per Unit.  Class DS commenced on April 2, 2007 and was offered at $1.1631 and Class DT commenced on June 1, 2007 and was offered at $1.2795.  The six Classes of Units are subject to different Sponsor fees.

Interests in the Fund are not insured or otherwise protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government authority.  Interests are not deposits or other obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, Bank of America Corporation or any of its affiliates or by any bank.  Interests are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the full amount invested.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2010, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.  However, the operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2009. Certain prior period items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.   FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) which provides authoritative guidance on fair value measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). All investments (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes.  The investments are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (described below) at the measurement date. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date.  Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.  Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included in Equity in a commodity trading account.  Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Operations.

The fair value measurement guidance established a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I are publicly traded investments. As required by the fair market value measurement guidance, the Fund does not adjust the quoted price for these investments even in situations where the Fund holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of generally accepted and understood models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are generally included in this category are investments valued using market data.

Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Fair value for these investments is determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.

12

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the Fair Value Measurement. MLAI’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the Fair Value Measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments, as well as the general classification of such investments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Exchange traded investments are fair valued by the Fund by using the reported closing price on the primary exchange where it trades such investments.  These closing prices are observed through the clearing broker and third party pricing services. For non-exchange traded investments, quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognized independent pricing sources are used by the Fund as inputs into its process for determining fair values.

The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Each source has its own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine a reasonable fair market value.

The Fund has determined that Level I securities would include all of its futures and options contracts where it believes that quoted prices are available in an active market.

Where the Fund believes that quoted market prices are not available or that the market is not active, fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, pricing models or matrix pricing and these are generally classified as Level II securities. The Fund determined that Level II securities would include its forward contracts.

The Fund’s net unrealized profit (loss) on open forward and futures contracts by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Net unrealized profit (loss)

The Fund’s volume of trading forward and futures as of the period and year ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are representative of the activity throughout these periods.

There were no significant transfers to or from Level I or II during the quarter and period ended September 30, 2010.

The Fund engages in the speculative trading of futures, options on futures and forward contracts on a wide range of commodities. Such contracts meet the definition of a derivative as noted in the guidance for derivatives and hedging activities. The fair value amounts of and the gains and losses on derivative instruments is disclosed in the Statements of Financial Condition and Statements of Operations, respectively. There are no credit related contingent features embedded in these derivative contracts.

The following table indicates the trading gains and losses, by commodity industry sector, on derivative instruments for each of the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

The Fund is subject to the risk of insolvency of a 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 or other similar types of proceedings, 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.

4.   MARKET AND CREDIT RISK

The nature of this Fund has certain risks, which cannot be presented on the financial statements.  The following summarizes some of those risks.

Market Risk

Derivative instruments involve varying degrees of market risk.  Changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or the market values of the financial instruments or commodities underlying such derivative instruments frequently result in changes in the Fund’s Net unrealized profit (loss) on such derivative instruments as reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition. The Fund’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the relationships among the derivative instruments held by the Fund as well as the volatility and liquidity of the markets in which the derivative instruments are traded. Investment in foreign markets may also entail legal and political risks.

MLAI has procedures in place intended to control market risk exposure, although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doing so.  These procedures focus primarily on monitoring the trading of Aspect, calculating the Net Asset Value of the Fund as of the close of business on each day and reviewing outstanding positions for over-concentrations.  While MLAI does not 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 expected to be unusual.  It is expected that MLAI’s basic risk control procedures will consist simply of the ongoing process of advisor monitoring, with the market risk controls being applied by Aspect.

15

Credit Risk

The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are typically perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter (non-exchange-traded) transactions, because exchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the collective credit (in some cases limited in amount, in some cases not) of the members of the exchange is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange.  In over-the-counter transactions, on the other hand, traders must rely solely on the credit of their respective individual counterparties.  Margins, which may be subject to loss in the event of a default, are generally required in exchange trading, and counterparties may also require margin in the over-the-counter markets.

The credit risk associated with these instruments from counterparty nonperformance is the net unrealized profit on open contracts, if any, included in the Statements of Financial Condition. The Fund attempts to mitigate this risk by dealing exclusively with Merrill Lynch entities as clearing brokers.

The Fund, in its normal course of business, enters into various contracts, with MLPF&S acting as its commodity broker.  Pursuant to the brokerage arrangement with MLPF&S (which includes a netting arrangement), to the extent that such trading results in receivables from and payables to MLPF&S, these receivables and payables are offset and reported as a net receivable or payable and included in Equity in commodity trading accounts in the Statements of Financial Condition.

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.

5.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to the fair value measurements disclosure. Pursuant to this update, additional disclosures in the financial statements relating to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and separate disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 roll forward, will be required. In addition, this update provides clarifications on i) the level of aggregation of classes of assets and liabilities disclosed in the fair value measurement disclosures and ii) disclosures relating to the inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 roll forward which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. This update further enhances the fair value disclosures and the Sponsor has determined that the adoption of this update on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on the Fund and has determined that there were no subsequent events that require adjustments to, or disclosure in, the financial statements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MONTH-END NET ASSET VALUE PER UNIT

MLAI believes that the Net Asset Value used to calculate subscription and redemption value and to report performance to investors throughout the year is a useful performance measure for the investors of the Fund.  Therefore, the charts below referencing Net Asset Value and performance measurements are based on Net Asset Value for financial reporting purposes.

The Fund calculates the Net Asset Value per unit of each class of units as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar month and such other dates as MLAI may determine in its discretion. The Fund’s “Net Asset Value” as of any calculation date will generally equal the value of the Fund’s account under the management of its trading advisor as of such date, plus any other assets held by the Fund, minus accrued brokerage commissions, sponsor’s, management and performance fees, and any operating costs and other liabilities of the Fund. MLAI is authorized to make all Net Asset Value determinations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Fund does not engage in the sale of goods or services.  The Fund’s assets are its (i) equity in its trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents (and restricted cash) and (ii) interest receivable.  Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Fund.  While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such material losses occurred during the third quarter of 2010 and there was no impact on the Fund’s liquidity.

The Fund’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the members as increased or decreased by gains or losses on trading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Fund capital decreased 0.78% from $265,629,162 to $263,545,858.  This decrease was attributable to the net gain from operations of $24,414,333 coupled with the redemption of 26,759,540 Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of $40,785,365.  The cash outflow was offset with cash inflow of $14,287,728 due to subscription of 10,003,981 units.  Future redemptions could impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contract positions in subsequent months.

Critical Accounting Policies

Statement of Cash Flows

The Fund is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows.

Investments

All investments (including derivatives) are held for trading purposes.  Investments are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date.  Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date.  Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.  Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in a commodity trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition.  Realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Operations.

Cash Equivalents

The Fund considers all highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents were recorded at amortized cost which approximated fair value (Level II see Note 3).  Cash was held at a nationally recognized financial institution.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  For more information on our treatment of fair value, see Note 3, Fair Value of Investments.

18

Futures Contracts

The Fund trades futures contracts.  A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash.  Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.  When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.  Because transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, credit exposure is limited.  Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date.  Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Operations.  Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively and are included in the Statements of Operations.

Interest Rates and Income

The Fund currently earns interest based on the prevailing Fed Funds rate plus a spread for short cash positions and minus a spread for long cash positions. The current short term interest rates have remained extremely low when compared with historical rates and thus has contributed negligible amounts to overall Fund performance.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each Member is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such Member’s 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.  MLAI has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Fund and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2007.

Results of Operations

January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010

The Fund experienced a net trading profit of $11,121,210 before brokerage commissions and related fees in the first quarter of 2010. Profits were primarily attributable to interest rates and currency sectors posting profits. Energy, stock indices, metals and agriculture sectors posted losses.

The interest rate sector posted profits to the Fund. Profits were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. Long positions in fixed income markets benefited from the move toward risk aversion due to United Kingdom data and comments by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank. The prevailing macroeconomic sentiment oscillated between risk aversion and inflationary concerns with the former being marginally dominant in February. As a result, profits were posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter from the long positions in both short-term interest rate futures contracts and some bond markets. Data releases pointing to economic recovery drove the prices of risky assets higher in March despite some continued concerns about European sovereign debt mid-month.  Consequently, global stock markets rallied and bond markets sold off with the Japanese Government Bonds being the worst performer for the sector. European interest rate markets were buoyed by concerns over Greece and poor economic data out of the United Kingdom resulted in losses being posted to the Fund at the end of the quarter.

The currency sector posted profits to the Fund. Losses were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter due to the net short exposure to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The weakness of the euro and the British pound provided opportunity for profits posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter. In currencies, emerging market and commodity currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar to the benefit of the trading program’s positioning, resulting in profits being posted to the Fund.

The energy sector posted losses to the Fund. Losses were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. Poorer growth outlook resulted in many commodities markets selling off. This was particularly detrimental to the trading program’s long positioning in the oil complex. Oil prices faced additional downward pressure due to an increase in inventories and milder weather in the United States. Profits were posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter due to long positions in energy contracts benefiting from the further upward move in prices. Commodity markets generally follow the direction of stock markets and finished the month of March higher. In energies, long positions in the oil complex resulted in positive performance, but the Fund also profited on the short side from the decline in the natural gas price following milder weather in the United States and a build-up in inventories. The quarter ended with profits being posted to the Fund.

The stock indices posted losses to the Fund. After positive performance in the first two weeks of the year, a reversal in investor risk appetite resulted in a loss for the calendar month. The change in sentiment was driven, in part, by disappointing earnings announcements and fears over potential monetary tightening in China as the People’s Bank of China increased banks’ reserve requirements and introduced measures aimed at curbing lending. As a result the trading program’s long positions in stock indices resulted in losses being posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. The prevailing macroeconomic sentiment oscillated between risk aversion and inflationary concerns with the former being marginally dominant. As a result profits were posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter from long positions in stock indices. Data releases pointing to economic recovery drove the prices of risky assets higher in March despite some continued concerns about European sovereign debt. Consequently, global stock markets rallied, producing profits for the Fund at the end of the quarter.

20

The metals sector posted losses to the Fund. Losses were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. Poorer growth outlook resulted in many commodities markets selling off. This was particularly detrimental to the trading program’s long positions in industrial metals. The month of February was, to a large degree, dominated by news flow relating to the debt crisis within the Euro zone. The prevailing macroeconomic sentiment oscillated between risk aversion and inflationary concerns with the former being marginally dominant. As a result, the Fund posted profits in the middle of the quarter from long positions in the metals sectors. Profits were seen in industrial metals in March, especially nickel which reached a twenty two month high. The quarter ended with profits being posted to the Fund.

The agriculture sector posted losses to the Fund. Profits were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. Gains on long exposure to sugar markets, whose price rallied due to supply concerns, more than offset losses on long positions in the soy complex and cotton. Losses were posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter. The longer term bull market in sugar reversed sharply from multi year highs as output in both Brazil and India rose. Positive performance on short positions in corn and wheat was more than offset by losses in sugar and coffee.  The sugar losses were incurred when prices fell to an eleven week low as the supply outlook improved.  The quarter ended with losses being posted to the Fund.

April 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010

The Fund experienced a net trading profit of $1,052,057 before brokerage commissions and related fees in the second quarter of 2010.

The sovereign credit downgrades in Europe provided the opportunity for the trading program’s long positions in fixed income to post profits to the Fund in April. Fixed income markets saw positive performance throughout the month of May as the general risk aversion saw these markets rally strongly resulting in profits being posted to the Fund. The best performances came from the trading program’s long positions in European and United Kingdom markets at both ends of the curve. Fixed income prices rallied, particularly towards the end of June as investors questioned the sustainability of global growth given the poor economic data out of the United States, Japan and China and concerns about the creditworthiness of European banks and governments. The commitment of central banks to keep interest rates at current levels also helped boost the price of interest rate futures. The quarter ended with profits being posted to the Fund.

The currency sector posted losses to the Fund. Positive returns in currency markets were driven by a weakening Euro and emerging market exposure resulting in profits posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. The strengthening U.S. dollar yielded profits in the trading program’s long positions against the major European currencies which was not enough to offset losses in the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar resulting in losses being posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter. The currency sector was the worst performer in the month of June as losses in short positions in the Swiss franc and British pound exposures offset small gains in short positions in Euro. The Swiss National Bank decided that deflationary risks were no longer a threat and stopped limiting the Swiss franc’s strength, while in the United Kingdom the emergency budget and commentary surrounding it caused the British pound to strengthen against the U.S. dollar and the quarter ended with losses posted to the Fund.

The metals sector posted losses to the Fund. Losses were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter. Base metals declined following more bearish economic sentiment towards the end of April resulting in losses in the trading program’s long positions in aluminum and copper.

The energy sector posted losses to the Fund. Profits were posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter due to continuing rises in oil markets. Losses were posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter as the energy markets fell in May resulting from volatility in global markets. In energies, natural gas prices rallied in the first half of June due to a combination of short covering and bullish inventory data which was not enough to offset losses. The quarter ended with losses being posted to the Fund.

The stock indices posted losses to the Fund. Strong economic data and positive earnings announcements resulted in profits being posted to the Fund at the beginning of the quarter due to the trading programs long stock positions.  Fears of contagion in the European debt crisis drove stock markets downwards, furthered by the intraday volatility seen in United States Stock indices on the 6th of May caused by an alleged trading irregularity resulting in losses being posted to the Fund in the middle of the quarter. Equities continued their downward slide in June as concerns regarding European financial stability and global growth plagued markets. While stock markets globally rebounded slightly in the middle of June, the last two weeks were particularly volatile and stocks sold off at the end of the month resulting in losses being posted to the Fund.

In the United States, weaker than expected economic data released in the middle of the month pushed both government bonds and short term interest rate futures higher. In the United Kingdom, the trend was briefly derailed by unexpectedly strong gross domestic product figures but prices recovered following the Bank of England statement playing down the significance of this on the outlook for interest rates. Profits continued to be posted in the middle of the quarter as August was characterized by risk-aversion in markets, which was fuelled by poor economic data out of the United States and dovish comments by the Federal Reserve’s Chairman early in the month.

Against this backdrop, fixed income markets rallied worldwide and the U.S. dollar strengthened, resulting in profits posted to the Fund.  September started with investor optimism following strong manufacturing numbers out of China and the United States. Consequently, fixed income markets sold off, to the detriment of the trading program’s long positions, while equity markets rallied.

Item 3.  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 from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of 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 fair value 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).

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

27

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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Fund’s average Month-end Net Asset Value was approximately $263,092,449 and $290,444,007 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 or BlackRock. 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.

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 September 30, 2010, 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.

29

Currencies

The Fund trades in a number of currencies. 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. Soybeans, grains, livestock, cotton, corn and coffee accounted for the substantial bulk of the Fund’s agricultural commodities exposure as of September 30, 2010.

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 September 30, 2010.

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 and BlackRock. 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

MLAI, the Sponsor of ML Aspect FuturesAccess LLC, with the participation of the Sponsor’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to the Fund as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and, based on this evaluation, has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  No change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010  that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.
