                   ------------------------------------------
                                   (unaudited)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     These consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit.
     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain
     all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
     to present fairly the financial position of ML JWH Strategic Allocation
     Fund L.P. (the "Partnership") as of June 30, 2002, and the results of its
     operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
     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 conformity with accounting principles
     generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2001.

2.   FAIR VALUE AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

     The nature of this Partnership has certain risks, which can not 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 Partnership's net unrealized profit (loss) on such
     derivative instruments as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
     Financial Condition. 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 as well as the volatility
     and liquidity of the markets in which the derivative instruments are
     traded.

     MLIM Alternative Strategies LLC ("MLIM AS LLC") 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 JWH(R), calculating the Net
     Asset Value of the Partnership as of the close of business on each day and
     reviewing outstanding positions for over-concentrations. While MLIM AS LLC
     does not itself intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the
     Partnership's market exposure, MLIM AS LLC may urge JWH(R) to reallocate
     positions in an attempt to avoid over-concentrations. However, such
     interventions are unusual. Except in cases in which it appears that JWH(R)
     has begun to deviate from past practice or trading policies or to be
     trading erratically, MLIM AS LLC's basic risk control procedures consist
     simply of the ongoing process of advisor monitoring, with the market risk
     controls being applied by JWH(R) itself.

     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

                                       5
<Page>

     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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The
     Partnership attempts to mitigate this risk by dealing exclusively with
     Merrill Lynch entities as clearing brokers.

     The Partnership, 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition
     under Equity in commodity futures trading accounts.

Performance Summary

JANUARY 1, 2002 to JUNE 30, 2002
--------------------------------

January 1, 2002 to March 31, 2002

Trading in the energy markets was profitable. Trading in natural gas and crude
oil resulted in gains. All markets posted gains in March, as crude and Brent
oil, gas oil, heating oil and unleaded gas produced profits.

Metals trading was moderately profitable. The Japanese government announced that
at the end of March they would no longer guarantee time deposits in excess of
ten million yen. Concerned Japanese citizens purchased physical gold, causing a
rally. Profits were realized in copper, zinc, nickel and silver as industrial
demand in anticipation of a strong global economic recovery pushed prices
higher.

Losses were posted across the board in agricultural commodity trading. Soybean
and sugar combined for the largest losses. The sector was flat by quarter end.

Stock index trading was unprofitable as volatile conditions made it difficult to
generate profits. Losses were realized in the Nikkei, DAX, Eurostoxx and NASDAQ
indices.

The interest rate sector sustained losses throughout the quarter. Optimism
surrounding the Japanese government's proposed anti-deflation measures had a
negative effect on Japanese government bonds. The sector as a whole was
unprofitable, as U.S. and Japanese interest rate contracts were unprofitable.

Significant losses occurred in the currency markets. The U.S. dollar weakened
against major currencies, particularly the Japanese yen. The sector performed
poorly, specifically the U.S. dollar/Japanese yen cross trades, as Japanese
fiscal year-end considerations made trading extremely volatile. Positions in
Swiss franc, Euro and British pound also turned in negative performances.

<Page>

April 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002

Profits resulting from trading in the currency sector provided the
Partnership with an over 33% rate of return (on the total net assets of the
Partnership) for the second quarter. Strong trends developed from a weakening
U.S. dollar, which continued through June. Most of the major currencies made
new highs versus the U.S. dollar in June.

The trading in stock indices found profits from its short positions. Worldwide
equity markets attempted to move higher, but failed and resumed their downtrend.

The interest rate sector was profitable for the Partnership despite its slow
start. The quarter began with a loss as interest rates were particularly
sensitive to economic data that was released, and more so to its varied
interpretations. By quarter end, the Partnership profited from a strong bond
market, which benefited from the weakness in the stock market and unchanged
interest rates.

The metals sector sustained slight losses for the quarter. In June, the uptrend
in gold reversed and losses were sustained on a long position eliminating slight
profits earned earlier in the quarter.

Losses were experienced in the agricultural commodities markets. Positions in
coffee, corn and soybean meal were mostly to blame.

Energy produced losses for the Partnership. Fears of possible supply disruption
abated, stifling a previously strong uptrend. In June, a good crude supply
coupled with tensions in the Middle East provided negative returns for the
month.

JANUARY 1, 2001 to JUNE 30, 2001
--------------------------------

January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001

Interest rate trading was the biggest contributor to the Partnership's overall
profitability during the quarter. The sector realized gains in all global bond
markets traded, primarily Asia. Interest rates declined at year-end and the
market reversed in January. Bonds generally benefited from the weakness in the
equity markets. Gains were realized in short-term interest rates on Central Bank
easing and the massive rally in Japanese government bonds as the Japanese
economy showed signs of sputtering.

Currency trading was profitable during the quarter. Currencies suffered losses
early in the quarter by a weakening in the Euro. The Euro tumbled to two-month
lows against the U.S. dollar in the wake of Turkey's lira currency float. Market
concerns about European bank exposure to Turkish assets pushed the Euro to new
lows. Strength in the U.S. dollar in March led to strong profits in Japanese
yen, Euro, Swiss franc and British pound. Cross-rate trading was also profitable
in March.

Trading in stock indices was profitable despite a slow start to the quarter. The
NASDAQ continued its slide into the new year, reaching a new 52 week low during
February. The Nikkei 225 set a 15-year low during February. Equity indices, in
general, declined sharply in March, leading to profits from short positions.

Agricultural commodities posted gains for the quarter. Corn and sugar were the
primary drivers for poor performance for January. This sector rebounded in March
as solid gains were attributable to sugar, corn and cotton all falling to new
contract lows.

Metals trading was moderately successful. Positions in gold were profitable amid
the Bank of England gold sale, but they failed to offset losses in other metals
traded in January. Gains in copper failed to offset losses in aluminum, nickel
and silver in February. All contracts were slightly profitable in March, leading
to a gain in the overall sector.

                                       7

Energy trading was the lone sector which sustained losses for the quarter.
Losses were incurred when U.S. oil prices gained more than $2 a barrel on an
OPEC announcement that it would cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day
beginning February 1. OPEC officials made a follow-up announcement that they may
need to act again on concern of a cooling economy may reduce demand for oil
products.


April 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001

Trading in agricultural commodities was the sole profitable strategy for the
Partnership. Corn and cotton markets were profitable throughout the quarter.
Sugar positions sustained losses early on but rebounded by quarter end.

Energy trading was unprofitable despite posting the first monthly gain for the
sector for the year. Energy contracts in crude oil and heating oil had losses in
April and June. These losses offset the gains realized from natural gas
contracts in May. The gains were attributed to the sharp decline in prices and
from generally weakened markets.

The metals sector suffered losses during the quarter. Losses were incurred in
the gold markets in April and May, but rebounded slightly by June. Base metals
were mixed to flat. Silver and aluminum markets were unprofitable. Copper
trading was slightly profitable in June.


Losses were sustained in currency trading. In April, Pacific rim and European
currencies suffered losses, while slight profits were generated in the Mexican
peso, the Euro/Canadian dollar cross and the Thai baht. European currencies
rebounded in May. The quarter ended with losses in the Japanese yen and crosses
involving the yen.

Trading in stock indices was unprofitable. The sharp decline in stock prices in
April contributed to losses in all markets traded. Across the board market
volatility continued into May. By June, most markets were flat but losses were
sustained in NASDAQ and German DAX trading.

Trading in the interest rates sector was difficult, leading to substantial
losses. British and Japanese interest rate markets was the only profitable
sector. The Eurobond market and the U.S. interest rate complex proved tough to
trade and were the primary reason the sector lost money overall.
