ITEM 1: BUSINESS
        --------

    (a) General Development of Business:
        ------------------------------- 

        John W. Henry & Co./Millburn L.P. (the "Partnership" or the "Fund")
was organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on
August 29, 1989.  The original public offering of units of limited partnership
interest (the "Series A Units") commenced on September 29, 1989, and the
Partnership commenced trading with respect to the Series A Units on January 5,
1990.  A reopening of the Partnership through the public offering of Series B
Limited Partnership Units (the "Series B Units") commenced on December 14, 1990.
The Partnership began trading with respect to the Series B Units on January 28,
1991.  A reopening of the Partnership through the public offering of Series C
Limited Partnership Units (the "Series C Units") commenced on September 13,
1991.  The Partnership began trading with respect to the Series C Units on
January 2, 1992.

        The proceeds of each of the three series of Units were each initially
allocated equally among the Partnership's two trading advisors -- Millburn
Ridgefield Corporation ("Millburn") and John W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH")
(collectively, the "Trading Advisors" or the "Advisors").  As of December 31,
1996; 50% and 50% of the Series A Units capital was allocated to Millburn and
JWH, respectively; 50% and 50% of the Series B Units capital; and 50% and 50% of
the Series C Units capital.

        Merrill Lynch Investment Partners Inc. (the "General Partner" or
"MLIP") acts as the general partner of the Partnership.  Merrill Lynch Futures
Inc. (the "Commodity Broker" or "MLF") is the Partnership's commodity broker.
The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group Inc.,
which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.  The
Commodity Broker is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Inc.  (Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and its affiliates are hereinafter sometimes
referred to do "Merrill Lynch").

        When the Fund began trading on January 5, 1990, it had an initial
capitalization of $18,182,000. A total of an additional $50,636,000 was invested
in the Fund on January 28, 1991 (when the Series B Units were sold) and an
additional $40,000,000 on January 2, 1992 (when the Series C Units were sold).
Through December 31, 1996, Units with an aggregate Net Asset Value of
$96,968,699 (not including a dividend distribution of $2,345,180 for Series A
Unitholders on November 30, 1990)  had been redeemed (including December 31,
1996 redemptions which were not actually paid out until January 1997).  As of
December 31, 1996, the aggregate capitalization of the Fund was $60,834,088, the
total capitalization of the Series A, Series B and Series C Units was
$14,237,462, $30,488,078 and $16,108,548, respectively,  and the Net Asset Value
per Series A, Series B and Series C Units, originally $100 as of January 5,
1990, January 28, 1991 and January 2, 1992, respectively, had risen to $252.54
(excluding a $20 per Series A Unit distribution paid as of November 30, 1990),
$205.27 and $159.97, respectively.  As of December 31, 1996, the Fund had 489
Series A, 1,539 Series B and 791 Series C Limited Partners.

        The highest month-end Net Asset Value per Series A Unit through
December 31, 1996 was $255.50 (November, 1996) and the lowest $100.31 (May,
1990); the highest month-end Net Asset Value per Series B Unit through December
31, 1996 was $207.63 (November, 1996) and the lowest $91.20 (May, 1992); the
highest month-end Net Asset Value per Series C Unit through December 31, 1996
was $161.74 (November, 1996) and the lowest $75.87 (May, 1992).

    (b) Financial Information about Industry Segments:
        --------------------------------------------- 

        The Partnership's business constitutes only one segment for financial
reporting purposes, i.e., a speculative "commodity pool."

                                      -1-

 
      (c) Narrative Description of Business:
          --------------------------------- 

          GENERAL

          The Fund trades in the international futures, options on futures and
forward markets with the objective of achieving significant profits over time.

          The Partnership has entered into advisory agreements with each Trading
Advisor (the  "Advisory Agreement") with respect to each of the Series A Units,
Series B Units and Series C units and allocated 50% of the initial capital of
each Series to each Trading Advisor.   JWH is retained to trade the
Partnership's assets allocated to it in four market sectors - interest rates,
stock indices, currencies and metals - pursuant to its Financial and Metals
Program.  Millburn is retained to trade the Partnership's assets allocated to it
pursuant to its currency program, which concentrates exclusively on currency
trading, primarily in the interbank market.

          One of the objectives of the Fund is to provide diversification to a
limited portion of the risk segment of the Limited Partners' portfolios into an
investment field that has historically often demonstrated a low degree of
performance correlation with traditional stock and bond holdings.  Since it
began trading, the Fund's returns have, in fact, frequently been significantly
non-correlated (not, however, negatively correlated) with the United States
stock and bond markets.

          The Fund accesses the Trading Advisors not by opening individual
managed accounts with them, but rather through investing in private funds
sponsored by MLIP through which the trading accounts of different MLIP-sponsored
funds managed by the same Advisor and pursuant to the same strategy are
consolidated.

          USE OF PROCEEDS AND INTEREST INCOME

          General.  The Fund's assets are not used to purchase or acquire any
          -------                                                            
physical commodity but rather held as security for and to pay the Partnership's
speculative trading losses as well as any expenses and redemptions.  The primary
use of the Fund's capital is to permit the Advisors to trade on a speculative
basis in a wide range of different futures, forwards and options on futures
markets on behalf of the Partnership.  While being used for this purpose, the
Partnership's assets are also generally available to earn interest, as more
fully described below under "- Available Assets."

          Market Sectors.  The Partnership trades in a diversified group of
          --------------                                                   
markets under the direction of its two independent Advisors.  These Advisors
can, and do, from time to time materially alter the allocation of their overall
trading commitments among different market sectors.   Except in the case of
certain trading programs which are purposefully limited in the markets which
they trade, there is essentially no restriction on the commodity interests which
may be traded by any Advisor or the rapidity with which an Advisor may alter its
market sector allocations.

          The Fund's financial statements contain information relating to the
market sectors traded by the Fund.  There can, however, be no assurance as to
which markets may be included in the Fund's portfolio or as to in which market
sectors the Fund's trading may be concentrated at any one time or over time.

          Market Types.  The Fund trades on a variety of United States and
          ------------                                                    
foreign futures exchanges.  Applicable exchange rules differ significantly among
different countries and exchanges.  Substantially all of the Fund's off-exchange
trading takes place in the highly liquid, institutionally based currency forward
markets.  The forward markets are generally unregulated, and in its forward
trading the Fund does not deposit margin with respect to its positions.  The
Partnership's forward currency trading is executed exclusively through the
Foreign Exchange Service Desk (the "F/X Desk") operated by MLIP and certain of
its affiliates, with MLF as the back-to-back intermediary to the ultimate
counterparties, which include Merrill Lynch Investment Bank  ("MLIB") with which
the Advisors trade on behalf of the Fund.

          As in the case of its market sector allocations, the Fund's
commitments to different types of markets - U.S. and non-U.S., regulated and
unregulated - differ substantially from time to time as well as over time.  The
Fund has no policy restricting its relative commitment to any of these different
types of markets.

                                      -2-

 
          The Fund's financial statements contain information relating to the
types of markets traded by the Fund.  There can, however, be no assurance as to
in which markets the Fund may trade or the Fund's trading may be concentrated at
any one time or over time.

          Custody of Assets. All of the Fund's assets are currently held in
          -----------------
customer accounts at Merrill Lynch.

          Available Assets.  The Fund earns interest, as described below, on its
          ----------------                                                      
"Available Assets,"  which can be generally described as the cash actually held
by the Fund or invested in short-term Treasury bills.  Available Assets are held
primarily in U.S. dollars, and to a lesser extent in foreign currencies, and are
comprised of the following:  (a) the Fund's cash balance in the offset accounts
(as described below) - which includes "open trade equity" (unrealized gains and
losses on open positions) on United States futures contracts, which is paid into
or out of the Fund's account on a daily basis; (b) short-term Treasury bills
purchased by the Fund; and (c) the Fund's cash balance 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 the closing out of
such positions.  Available Assets do not include, and the Fund does not earn
interest on, the Fund's gains or losses on its open forward, commodity option
and certain foreign futures positions since such gains or losses are not
collected or paid until such positions are closed out.

          The Partnership's Available 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.

          The interest income arrangements for the Partnership's U.S. dollar
Available Assets differ from those applicable to its non-U.S. dollar Available
Assets.  Interest income, once accrued by the Fund, is subject to the risk of
trading losses.

          Interest Earned on the Fund's U.S. Dollar Available Assets.  The
          ----------------------------------------------------------      
Fund's U.S. dollar Available Assets are held in cash in offset accounts and in
short-term Treasury bills purchased from dealers unaffiliated with Merrill
Lynch.  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 MLF customer accounts, not subject to any Merrill
Lynch liability.

          MLF credits the Partnership, as of the end of each month, with
interest at the effective daily 91-day Treasury bill rate on the average daily
U.S. dollar Available Assets held in the offset accounts during such month.  The
Fund receives all the interest paid on the short-term Treasury bills in which it
invests.

          The use of the offset account arrangements for the Partnership's U.S.
dollar Available Assets may be discontinued by Merrill Lynch whether or not
Merrill Lynch otherwise continues to maintain its offset arrangements.  The
offset arrangements are dependent on the banks' continued willingness to make
overnight credits available to Merrill Lynch, which, in turn, is dependent on
the credit standing of ML&Co.  If Merrill Lynch were to determine that the
offset arrangements had ceased to be practicable (either because ML&Co. credit
lines at participating banks were exhausted or for any other reason), Merrill
Lynch would thereafter attempt to invest all of the Fund's U.S. dollar Available
Assets to the maximum practicable extent in short-term Treasury bills.  All
interest earned on the U.S. dollar Available Assets so invested would be paid to
the Fund, but MLIP would expect the amount of such interest to be less than that
available to the Fund under the offset account arrangements.  The remaining U.S.
dollar Available Assets of the Fund would be kept in cash to meet variation
margin payments and pay expenses, but would not earn interest for the Fund.

          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 Available 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  3/4
of 1% per annum of the Fund's average daily U.S. dollar Available Assets held in
the offset accounts.  These revenues to Merrill Lynch are in addition to the
Brokerage Commissions and Administrative Fees paid by the Fund to MLF and MLIP,
respectively.

                                      -3-

 
          Interest Paid by Merrill Lynch on the Fund's Non-U.S. Dollar Available
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets.  Under the single currency margining system implemented for the
- ------                                                                 
Partnership, the Partnership itself does not deposit foreign currencies to
margin trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated futures contracts and options. MLF
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
Available Assets.  Consequently, the Fund does not earn interest on foreign
margin deposits.  The Fund does, however, earn interest on its non-U.S. dollar
Available Assets.  Specifically, the Fund is credited by Merrill Lynch with
interest at the local short-term rate on realized and unrealized 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.

          In order to avoid the expense of daily currency conversions, the Fund
holds 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 Available Assets.  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.

          Forward Transactions.  Spot and forward currency contracts are the
          --------------------                                              
only non-exchange traded instruments held by the Fund.

          To date, approximately 20% to 30% of the Fund's trades by volume have
been in forward currency contracts, but from time to time the percentage of the
Fund's trading represented by forward currency trades may fall substantially
outside this range.  In using the F/X Desk, the Fund trades through MLF.
Because the Fund need not deposit any margin with MLF in respect of the Fund's
forward trading, the Fund's additional risk in trading in such unregulated
markets should be limited to a possible loss of unrealized profits on open
forward positions which a counterparty accessed through MLF would not, in the
event of its bankruptcy, be able to pay to MLF for the account of the Fund.
(MLF would not itself be required to pay such unrealized profits to the Fund if
MLF did not receive such profits from such counterparties.)

          Having the Fund (and the other MLF clients using the F/X Desk) trade
through the F/X Desk on the basis of MLF's credit lines permits the F/X Desk to
access a wide range of counterparties without the need of such counterparties
evaluating the individual credit of the Fund (or any other MLF client).

          CHARGES

          Each of the Series of Units is subject to the same charges.  However,
these charges are calculated separately with respect to each Series, each of
which maintains its own Net Asset Value.

          PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

          Series A Units.  During 1994, the Series A Units' average month-end
          --------------                                                     
Net Asset equaled $12,383,435, and the Series recognized gross trading gains of
$130,786 or 1.06% of such average month-end Net Assets.  Brokerage Commissions
of $1,572,088 or 12.70% and Profit Shares of $103,313 or 0.83% of average month-
end Net Assets were paid.  Interest income of $414,937 or 3.35% of average
month-end Net Assets resulted in a net loss of $1,129,678 or 9.12% of average
month-end Net Assets, which resulted in a 8.64% decrease in the Net Asset Value
per Unit.

          During 1995, the Series A Units' average month-end Net Assets equalled
$13,360,144, and the Series recognized gross trading gains of $5,089,863 or
38.10% of such average month-end Net Assets.  Brokerage Commissions of
$1,654,078 or 12.38% and Profit Shares of $168,968 or 1.26% of average month-end
Net Assets were paid.  Interest income of $636,781 or 4.77% of average month-end
Net Assets resulted in net income of $3,903,598 or 29.22% of average month-end

                                    Commissions payable by the Fund were reduced
                                    from 12% to 11.75% annually, and the Fund
                                    began to pay MLIP a monthly Administrative

                                    New Trading Profit and be subject to paying
                                    Profit Shares even though the Net Asset
                                    Value per Unit has declined below the
                                    purchase price of such Units.

         REGULATION

         The General Partner, the Trading Advisors and the Commodity Broker are
each subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the
National Futures Association.  Other than in respect of its periodic reporting
requirements, the Partnership itself is generally not subject to regulation by
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, MLIP itself is registered as
an "investment adviser" under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

         (i) through (xii) - not applicable.

         (xiii)  The Partnership has no employees.

     (d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
         ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales:
- ----- 

         The Partnership does not engage in material operations in foreign
countries, nor is a material portion of the Partnership's revenues derived from
customers in foreign countries.  The Partnership does, however, trade, from the
United States, on a number of foreign commodity exchanges.

ITEM 2:  PROPERTIES
         ----------

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

         The Partnership's only place of business is the place of business of
the General Partner (see Item 10 herein). The General Partner performs all
administrative services for the Partnership from the General Partner's offices.

ITEM 3:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -----------------

         There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership or the
General Partner is a party.

         In September 1996, JWH was named as a co-defendant in class action
lawsuits brought in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County and in the
New York Supreme Court, New York County. In November, JWH was named as a co-
defendant in a class action complaint filed in Superior Court of the State of
Delaware for Newcastle County that contained the same allegations as the New
York and California complaints. The actions, which seek unspecified damages,
purport to be brought on behalf of investors in certain Dean Witter, Discover &
Co. ("Dean Witter") commodity pools, some of which are advised by JWH, and are
primarily directed at Dean Witter's alleged fraudulent selling practices in
connection with the marketing of those pools. JWH is essentially alleged to have
aided and abetted or directly participated with Dean Witter in those practices.
JWH believes the allegations against it are without merit; it intends to contest
these allegations vigorously, and is convinced that it will be shown to have
acted properly and in the best interest of the investors.

ITEM 4:  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
         ---------------------------------------------------

         The Partnership has never submitted any matters to a vote of its
Limited Partners.

ITEM 5: MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        (a) Market Information:
            ------------------ 

            There is no established public trading market for the Units, nor
will one develop. Rather, Limited Partners may redeem Units as of the end of
each month at Net Asset Value.

        (b) Holders:
            ------- 

            As of December 31, 1996, there were 490, 1,540 and 774 holders of
the Series A, B and C Units, respectively, including the General Partner and the
Trading Advisors.

        (c) Dividends:
            ---------

            The Partnership has made only one distribution ($20 per Series A
Unit payable as of November 30, 1990) since trading commenced. The General
Partner does not presently intend to make any distributions, but may do so if a
series of Units recognizes substantial profits.

          (1)  Pursuant to applicable CFTC regulations, a "Multi-Advisor" fund
is defined as one that allocates no more than 25% of its trading assets to any
single manager.  As the Fund allocates over 25% of its assets to each of JWH and
Millburn, it is referred to as a "Selected-Advisor" fund.  Certain funds,
including funds sponsored by MLIP, 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
Partnership has no such feature.

          (2)  Worst Monthly Drawdown represents the largest negative Monthly
Rate of Return experienced since January 1, 1992 by the Series; 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 January 1, 1992 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 Series
during the month of determination (including interest income and after all
expenses have been accrued or paid) divided by the total equity of the Series as
of the beginning of such month.

Partnership has no such feature.

          (2)  Worst Monthly Drawdown represents the largest negative Monthly
Rate of Return experienced since January 1, 1992 by the Series; 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 January 1, 1992 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 Series
during the month of determination (including interest income and after all
expenses have been accrued or paid) divided by the total equity of the Series as
of the beginning of such month.

ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         OF OPERATION
         ------------

         OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

         The Fund's results of operations depend on the Advisors' ability to
trade profitably.  The Advisors' trading methods, are confidential, so that
substantially the only available information relevant to the Fund's results of
operations is its actual performance record to date.  However, because of the
speculative nature of its trading, the Fund's past performance is not
necessarily indicative of its future results.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         General.  MLIP believes that managed futures funds should be regarded
         -------                                                              
as medium- to long-term (i.e., three to five year) investments, but it is
difficult to identify trends in the Fund's operations and virtually impossible
to make any predictions regarding future results based on the results to date.
An investment in the Fund may be less successful over a longer than a shorter
period.

         Markets with sustained price trends tend to be more favorable to
managed futures investments than whipsaw, choppy markets, but (i) this is not
always the case, (ii) it is impossible to predict when price trends will occur
and (iii) JWH and Millburn are affected differently by trending markets as well
as by particular types of trends.

         MLIP attempts to control credit risk in the Fund's futures, forward
and options trading (the Fund does not trade derivatives other than futures and
forward contracts and options thereon) by trading only through MLF.  MLF acts
solely as a broker or counterparty to the Fund's trades; it does not advise with
respect to, or direct, any such trading.

         MLIP relies principally on JWH's and Millburn's respective risk
management policies and strategies to control the market risk inherent in the
Fund's trading.  MLIP reviews the positions acquired by each of the Advisors on
a daily basis in an effort to determine whether such policies and strategies are
being followed and whether the overall positions of the Fund may have become
what MLIP analyzes as being excessively concentrated in a limited number of
markets - in which case MLIP may discuss the possibility of rebalancing or
deleveraging the Fund's portfolio with JWH, Millburn or both.  To date, however,
MLIP has only intervened once to request any rebalancing or deleveraging of
either Advisor's trading (JWH deleveraged its trading at the request of MLIP
from May 1992 through August 1992).

         MLIP may consider making distributions to investors under certain
circumstances (for example, if substantial profits are recognized).  MLIP caused
the Fund to make a $20 distribution on each Series A Unit as of November 30,
1990.  This is the only distribution made to date.

         PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

         1994

         1994 was characterized by relatively quiet markets without many major
price trends.   United States interest rates generally declined during the
period, and as they did, so did the U.S. dollar as compared to the Deutschemark
and certain other major currencies.

         1995

         In 1995, prevailing price trends in several key markets enabled the
Advisors to trade profitably for the Fund.  Although trading in many of the
traditional commodity markets may have been lackluster, the currency and
financial markets offered exceptional trading conditions.  After months
characterized by very difficult trading environments, solid price trends across
many markets (including U.S. Treasury and non-dollar bond markets) began to
emerge during the first quarter of 1995.  In the second quarter, market
volatility once again began to affect trading, as many previously strong price
trends began to weaken and, in some cases, reverse.  The U.S. dollar hit new
lows versus the Japanese yen and Deutschemark before rebounding sharply.  In
addition, there were strong indications that the U.S. economy was slowing which,
when coupled with a failure of the German Central Bank to lower interest rates,
stalled a rally in the German bond market.  During 

                                      -13-

 
the third quarter, there was a correction in U.S. bond prices after several
months of a strong uptrend. Despite exposure to the global interest-rate
markets, the Fund's long positions in Treasury bonds had a negative impact on
the Fund. Throughout August and into September, the U.S. dollar rallied sharply
against the Japanese yen and the Deutschemark as a result of the coordinated
intervention by major central banks and widespread recognition of the growing
banking crisis in Japan. Despite continued price volatility during the final
quarter of 1995, the Trading Advisors were able to identify several trends in
key markets. U.S. Treasury bond prices continued their strong move upward
throughout November, due both to weak economic data and optimism on federal
budget talks. As the year ended, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was
pushed to its lowest level in more than two years.

          1996

          1996 began with the East Coast blizzard, continuing difficulties in
federal budget talks and an economic slowdown having a negative impact on many
markets.  The Fund was profitable in January due to strong profits in currency
trading as the U.S. dollar reached a 23-month high against the Japanese yen.  In
February, however, the Fund incurred a significant loss due to the sudden
reversals in several strong price trends and considerable volatility in the
currency and financial markets.  During March, large profits were taken in the
crude oil and gasoline markets as strong demand continued and talks between the
United Nations and Iraq were suspended.  This trend continued into the second
quarter, during which strong gains were also recognized in the agricultural
markets as a combination of drought and excessive rain drove wheat and grain
prices to historic highs.  In the late summer and early fall months, the Fund
continued to trade profitably as trending prices in a number of key markets
favorably impacted the Fund's performance.  In September heating oil hit a five-
year high on soaring prices in Europe, and the Fund was also able to capitalize
on downward trends in the metals markets.  Strong trends in the currency and
global bond markets produced significant gains in October and November, but the
year ended with declining performance as December witnessed the reversal of
several strong upward trends and increased volatility in key markets.

          PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

          The principal variables which determine the net performance of the
Partnership are profitability and interest income.  During all periods set forth
under "Selected Financial Data," the interest rates in many countries were at
unusually low levels.  This negatively impacted revenues because interest income
is typically a major component of commodity pool 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 Partnership may be
reduced as compared to high yielding and much lower risk fixed-income
investments.

          The Partnership's Brokerage Commissions and Administrative Fees are a
constant percentage of assets charge.  The only Fund costs (other than the
insignificant F/X Desk service fees and EFP differentials as well as bid-ask
spreads on forward contracts) which are not based on a percentage of the Fund's
assets are the Profit Shares payable to each of JWH and Millburn based on their
individual performance.  During periods when Profit Shares are a high percentage
of net trading gains, it is likely that there has been substantial performance
non-correlation between the Advisors (so that the total Profit Shares paid to
the Advisor which has traded profitably are a high percentage, or perhaps even
in excess, of the total profits recognized, as the other Advisor has incurred
offsetting losses, reducing overall trading gains but not the Profit Shares paid
to the successful Advisor).

          The events that primarily determine the Fund's profitability are those
that produce sustained and major price movements.  The Advisors are generally
more likely to be able to profit from sustained trends, irrespective of their
direction, than from static markets.  During the course of the Partnership's
performance to date, such events have ranged from Federal Reserve Board
reductions in interest rates, the apparent refusal of Iraq to arrive at a
settlement which would permit it to sell oil internationally, the inability of
the U.S. government to agree upon a federal budget and a combination of drought
and excessive rain negatively impacting U.S. agricultural harvesting as well as
planting.  While these events are representative of the type of circumstances
which materially affect the Fund, the specific events which will do so in the
future cannot be predicted or identified.

                                      -14-

 
          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.  Furthermore, the profits on many open positions are effectively realized
on a daily basis through the payment of variation margin.

          Except in unusual circumstances, factors such as 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 AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Fund's costs are generally proportional to its asset base, and,
within broad ranges of capitalization, the Advisors' trading positions (and the
resulting gains and losses) should increase or decrease in approximate
proportion to the size of the Fund account managed by each of them,
respectively.

          Inflation per se is not a significant factor in the Fund's
profitability, although inflationary cycles can give rise to the type of major
price movements that can have a materially favorable or adverse impact on the
Fund's performance.

          In its trading to date, the Fund has from time to time had substantial
unrealized gains and losses on its open positions.  These gains or losses are
received or paid on a periodic basis as part of the routine clearing cycle on
exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets (the only over-the-counter market
in which the Fund trades is the inter-bank forward market in currencies).  In
highly unusual circumstances, market illiquidity could make it difficult for
certain Advisors to close out open positions, and any such illiquidity could
expose the Fund to significant losses, or cause it to be unable to recognize
unrealized gains.  However, in general, there is no meaningful difference
between the Fund's realized and unrealized gains.

          In terms of cash flow, it makes little difference whether a market
position remains open (so that the profit or loss on such positions remains
unrealized), as cash settlement of  unrealized gains and losses occurs
periodically whether or not positions are closed out.  The only meaningful
difference between realized and unrealized gains or losses in the case of the
Fund is that unrealized items reflect gains or losses on positions which the
Advisors have determined not to close out (presumably, in the hope of future
profits), whereas realized gains or losses reflect amounts received or paid in
respect of positions no longer being maintained.
