NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of John W. Henry & Co./Millburn L.P. (the “Partnership”) as of March 31, 2006, and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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 (“US GAAP”) have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. INVESTMENTS
As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership had investments in ML JWH Financials and Metals Portfolio LLC (“JWH LLC”) and Millburn Global LLC (“Millburn LLC”) (“Trading LLCs”, collectively) of $11,430,206 and $11,430,206, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership had investments in JWH LLC and Millburn LLC of $11,365,776 and $11,365,775, respectively. The majority of revenue and expenses of the Partnership have been derived from its investments in the Trading LLCs.

3. FAIR VALUE AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Partnership invests indirectly in derivative instruments by investing in the Trading LLCs but does not itself hold any derivative instrument positions. The nature of this Partnership has certain risks, which cannot all be presented on the financial statements. The following summarizes some of those risks.
Market Risk
Derivative instruments involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet 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 net unrealized profit (loss) as reflected in the respective Statements of Financial Condition of the Trading LLCs. The Partnership’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the relationships among the derivative instruments held by the Partnership, through the Trading LLCs, as well as the volatility and liquidity of such markets in which such derivative instruments are traded.
Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments LLC (“MLAI”), the General Partner, 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 the Advisors selected from time to time for the Partnership, calculating the Net Asset Value of the Advisors’ respective Trading LLC accounts as of the close of business on each day and reviewing outstanding positions for over-concentrations both on an advisor-by-advisor and on an overall Partnership basis. While MLAI does not itself intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the Partnership’s market exposure, MLAI may urge Advisors to reallocate positions or itself reallocate Partnership assets among Advisors (although typically only as of the end of a month) in an attempt to avoid over-concentration. However, such interventions are unusual. Except in cases in which it appears that an Advisor has begun to deviate from past practice and trading policies or to be trading erratically, MLAI’s basic risk control procedures consist simply of the ongoing process of advisor monitoring and selection, with the market risk controls being applied by the Advisors themselves.
6
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 (but not universally) 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 Partnership, through the Trading LLCs, has credit risk with respect to non-performance of its counterparties and brokers, but attempts to mitigate this risk by dealing almost exclusively with Merrill Lynch entities as clearing brokers.
The Partnership, through the Trading LLCs, in its normal course of business, enters into various contracts with Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Inc. (“MLPF&S”) acting as its commodity broker. Pursuant to the brokerage agreement 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 the Trading LLC’s Statements of Financial Condition under Equity in commodity futures trading accounts.

Performance Summary
All of the Partnership’s assets are invested in the Trading LLCs. The Partnership receives trading profits and losses as an investor in the Trading LLCs . The following commentary describes the trading results of the Trading LLCs.
January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006
The Partnership’s overall trading was profitable for the quarter. The Partnership experienced gains in three of the four sectors, with the largest gain in the stock indices sector.
The stock indices sector was the most profitable for the Partnership. At the beginning of the quarter, the Partnership continued to hold long positions in all 15 traded markets which benefited from strong worldwide equity markets. The Nikkei 225 (up 3.3%) was the most profitable stock index traded as it rose to an over five year high after sustaining high intra-month volatility. In the middle of the quarter, most indices lost profits but rebounded by the end of the quarter. Successful trading in the major U.S. indices contributed positively, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, at five year highs and the Russell 2000 at all-time highs.
The metals sector posted a gain as the Partnership was well positioned to capture the sector’s sustained upward trend. Precious metals, gold and silver bolstered the Partnership’s returns as investors sought the safety of these markets when tensions in Iran increased over its nuclear program. Long positions in the base metals copper, zinc and aluminum added to profitability. Industrial metals slumped mid-quarter. The metals sector bounced back the end of the quarter due to a strong performance from silver and copper. Silver, for May delivery, closed the month at $11.66, its highest level since September 1983. An 18.52% gain for silver was driven largely by the anticipation of the launching of a silver exchange traded fund by Barclays Capital. Copper rallied to an all time high with a 13.84% gain at the end of the quarter. The metal’s rally has been fueled by speculation that increased worldwide economic growth (particularly in China) will reduce inventories and potentially trigger supply shortfalls.
The interest rate sector posted a profit for the Partnership. The beginning of the quarter was difficult due to losses made in long positions in ten year notes in the Japanese, German and U.S. markets. However, gains were recaptured mid-quarter due to short positions in the Eurodollar and Euribor contracts. Short positions in the U.S. Treasury two-year and ten-year notes contributed with modest profits as traders stepped up bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at least two more times by June. Gains continued through the end of the quarter as the Partnership had short positions in nearly every instrument it traded in the sector. The majority of the gains were made through short positions in the U.S. and German bonds across the yield curve. Yields on the U.S. Treasury ten-year note rose to the highest level since May 2004 after the U.S. Federal Reserve lifted its target rate for the 15th consecutive time and hinted there may be more increases.
The currency sector posted losses for the Partnership. Losses were particularly attributed to short positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen. Short position in the Japanese yen was the worst performing position for the Partnership after the Bank of Japan Governor, Toshihiko Fukui said a seven-year bout of deflation has almost ended and the central bank will gradually raise interest rates from zero percent, resulting in the Japanese yen rising over 2.50%. The Euro proved to be difficult as the market moved against the Partnership’s long position. The Canadian dollar and Mexican peso were especially challenging as both currencies suffered sharp reversals versus the U.S. dollar. Traders drove the Canadian dollar lower on concerns that Canada’s interest rate disadvantage with U.S. will widen. In Mexico, the Bank of Mexico cut rates, further weakening the currency versus the U.S. dollar.
8
January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2005
The Partnership was unprofitable for the first quarter of 2005. In the beginning of the quarter, many trend-following programs experienced difficulty as larger trends, which started in the fourth quarter reversed during the quarter. Global equity markets sold-off after rallying in December. The U.S. dollar began strengthening and metal markets also sold-off. Throughout the remainder of the quarter, many longer-term trend-following programs experienced difficulty, as markets remained quite range bound and choppy.
The currency sector began the first quarter with a loss, as the U.S. dollar strengthened against various other currencies. Gains achieved in exposure to the Japanese yen were outweighed by losses in the Euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. At mid-quarter, gains generated in exposure to the Australian dollar and Polish zloty were outweighed by losses in the Euro, Japanese yen and Swiss franc. At the end of the quarter, gains generated in exposure to the Japanese yen and Swiss franc were outweighed by losses in the Polish zloty, Brazilian real, and Australian dollar.
The metals sector also posted losses, as markets sold off on slower growth estimates in 2005. Both exposure to industrial and precious metals detracted from performance. The sector gained during the quarter as markets rallied in both the precious and industrial sub-sectors, particularly gold, copper and aluminum. However, the sector ended the quarter with a loss as gains in non-precious metals such as aluminum and copper were offset by losses in silver and gold contracts.
A loss was posted for the stock indices sector as markets reversed and sold off. Major losses were from exposure to the United States and Asia. During the quarter, a gain was posted as exposure to Asian equities and selected U.S. equities posted gains. A loss was realized at the end of the quarter as exposure to U.S. equities and Asian equities contributed to the bulk of losses.
The interest rate sector was the poorest performing sector for the first quarter. The beginning of the quarter had gains generated in exposure to Japanese, U.S. and European fixed income. Toward the end of the quarter, gains were generated at the front end of the U.S. curve, while losses were experienced in exposure to European and Japanese fixed income. Losses were mainly from exposure to German and Japanese fixed income instruments. Profits were made from short exposure to Eurodollar and U.S. Treasury note contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Neither the Partnership nor MLAI has ever been the subject of any material litigation. Merrill Lynch is the 100% indirect owner of MLAI, MLPF&S and all other Merrill Lynch entities involved in the operation of the Partnership. Merrill Lynch as well as certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates have been named as defendants in civil actions, arbitration proceedings and claims arising out of their respective business activities. Although the ultimate outcome of these actions cannot be predicted at this time and the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the result of these matters will not be materially adverse to the business operations or the financial condition of MLAI or the Partnership.
