                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of ML Futures Investments L.P. (the "Partnership") as of March 31, 2003, and the
results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
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 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,
2002.

2.   COMBINATION OF MULTI-ADVISOR FUNDS

After the close of business on December 31, 2002, the Partnership combined its
assets with five other similar Multi-Advisor Funds to form a new ML Futures
Investments L.P. (the "Combined Partnership") in a tax free reorganization. All
of the affected investors received new units of the Combined Partnership with an
initial Net Asset Value per Unit of $1.00 in exchange for each of their original
units. The aggregate Net Asset Value of of investor's new units is equal to the
aggregate Net Asset Value of their original Units. The ratio of the Unit
exchange by entity is listed below.

ML Futures Investments L.P.                                 264.694900
ML Futures Investments II L.P.                              205.193438
The S.E.C.T.O.R. Strategy Fund L.P.                         207.382494
The Sector Strategy Fund II L.P.                            172.917074
The Sector Strategy Fund II L.P. Sector III Units           182.523103
The Sector Strategy Fund V L.P.                             147.310123
The Sector Strategy Fund VI L.P.                            134.331163

Conversion of the shares had no adverse economic effect on investors in any of
the Multi-Advisor Funds. Merrill Lynch Investment Managers LLC ("MLIM LLC")
contributed $1,560 to the Combined Partnership, the amount necessary due to the
effects of rounding, to insure all investors received shares equal in value to
their original holdings. The Combined Partnership will continue to invest
through ML Multi-Manager Portfolio ("MM LLC") and the combination of the
Multi-Advisor Funds did not change the operations of MM LLC. The Combined
Partnership's percentage of ownership of MM LLC was 32.32% immediately after the
combination. After the combination of the Multi-Advisor Funds, the brokerage
commission rate was reduced to 0.7083 of 1% (an 8.5% annual rate).

2.   INVESTMENT IN MM LLC

As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Partnership had an investment in
MM LLC of $54,907,416 and $11,852,508, respectively. As of March 31, 2003, and
December 31, 2002, the Partnership's percentage ownership share of MM LLC was
32.36% and 6.83%, respectively.

3.   FAIR VALUE AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The nature of this Partnership has certain risks, which can not be presented in
the financial statements. The following summarizes some of those risks.

Market Risk
-----------

Derivative financial 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 underlying financial
instruments or commodities underlying such derivative instruments frequently
results in changes in the Partnership's net unrealized profit (loss) on such
derivative instruments as reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition or,
with respect to Partnership assets invested in MM LLC, the net unrealized profit
as reflected in the respective Statements of Financial Condition of the MM LLC.
The Partnership's exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors,
including the relationships among the derivative instruments held by MM LLC, as
well as the volatility and liquidity of such markets in which such derivative
instruments are traded.

The General Partner, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers LLC ("MLIM 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 the Advisors selected from time to
time for MM LLC, and include calculating the Net Asset Value of the Advisors'
respective Partnership accounts and MM 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 MLIM LLC does
not itself intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the Partnership's
market exposure, MLIM LLC may urge Advisors to reallocate positions, or itself
reallocate Partnership assets through MM LLC among Advisors (although typically
only as of the end of a month) in an attempt to avoid over-concentrations.
However, such interventions are unusual. Except in cases in which it appears
that an Advisor has begun to deviate from past practice or trading policies or
to be trading erratically, MLIM LLC'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
<Page>

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 require margin in the over-the-counter markets.

The Partnership, through MM LLC, has credit risk in respect 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 MM LLC, 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 in the financial statements
of MM LLC in the Equity in commodity futures trading accounts in the Statements
of Financial Condition.

Performance Summary

All of the Partnership's assets are invested in MM LLC. The Partnership
recognizes trading profits or losses as an investor in MM LLC. The following
commentary describes the trading results of MM LLC.


January 1, 2003 to March 31, 2003

The Partnership experienced gains in the currency, energy, interest rate and
stock index sectors and losses in the agricultural commodity and metals sectors.
Overall, for the quarter, the Partnership experienced gains.

The currency forward and futures trading had the most significant gains for the
quarter. The weakening U.S. dollar was continuing to decline as it has for over
a year and the Partnership was well positioned to capitalize on its U.S dollar
positions against other currencies. The largest gains versus the U.S. dollar
during January and February were with the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar.
In March, on hopes that the war with Iraq would be short, the U.S. dollar
strengthened and returned some of the profits earned early in the year.


                                       7

Energy was a profitable sector for the quarter. With the continuation of the
strike in Venezuela, the tensions with Iraq and the cold winter, long positions
in oil and natural gas were profitable in the beginning of the year. In
February, the best performing month, natural gas prices rose nearly 40% in a
single day citing expected severely cold weather and supply shortages. The
Partnership profited from this event but such volatility caused many of the
Advisors to reduce their long positions. This helped the Partnership retain
profits as prices declined in crude oil and natural gas in March.

Interest rate futures were also profitable for the quarter. February had
significant gains offsetting losses in both January and March. U.S. and European
bonds rallied amid concerns of a global economic slowdown benefiting the
Partnership's long exposures. Selective long/short rate exposure globally was
the main driver to gains generated in the sector. The global fixed income
markets continued their upward climb until mid-March when expectations of a
short conflict triggered the liquidation of many fixed income investments
hurting long exposures.

Trading in stock indices posted slight gains for the quarter. The market was
choppy throughout the quarter making trading difficult. The Partnership was able
to realize some gains in January on short positions as most indices recorded
three-month lows. During the rest of the quarter, choppy markets caused short
positions to be covered to protect against the risk of significant losses.

The metals sector had losses for the quarter. Gold drove profits in January as
it continued its run up. The general perception of risks in the financial
markets and the geopolitical situation unfolding was the main driver for the
gold market in January. The Partnership sustained losses in February and March
as the long bias in precious metals hurt the portfolio when gold reversed its
rising trend in February and continued to decline. Gold's appeal as a safe
investment diminished.

Trading in agricultural commodities posted losses for the quarter. The
Partnership held positions in sugar, livestock and the soybean complex.
Livestock markets were off in February as Russia imposed an import limit to help
its domestic production. Sugar was to blame for losses in March as prices
reversed and hit a two-month low.

January 1, 2002 to March 31, 2002

The energy sector was the only profitable trading strategy for the quarter.
Natural gas short positions were profitable as the positions benefited from the
mild weather in the United States. The sector experienced large declines in
February due to increased concerns of the health of world economies. This lead
to price instability. Gains were realized in March in the physical commodity
markets, as fears of increased conflicts in the Middle East could potentially
result in a shortage of oil supplies.

Trading in stock indices resulted in losses for the quarter. Long equity
exposures suffered losses in choppy market conditions as profit forecasts fell
short and concern over the Enron accounting situation deepened. Uncertainty in
the global marketplace prevailed, making for extremely difficult trading
conditions. Long positions appreciated in March, notably in Japan, Germany and
France, but not enough to offset earlier losses.

Conflicting economic reports was the cause for losses in the interest rate
sector. These reports prompted the Advisors to flip exposures from long
positions to short positions in most major international bond markets during the
quarter. European fixed income exposures posted losses under particularly
direction-less markets. Global bond prices declined on growing optimism for a
stronger economic outlook for the remainder of 2002.


                                       8

Trading in the metals sector was down for the quarter. Short positions in base
metals were unsuccessful early on as base metals prices soared on the hope that
an economic recovery in the United States would boost demand. Precious metal
prices declined as the U.S. economy continued to show signs of stabilizing and
inflation concerns waned. Long gold positioning generated gains as prices rose
above $300 for the first time in two years.

Currency trading resulted in losses for the Partnership. In January, gains were
generated in short Japanese yen positions as the Japanese yen continued to
depreciate against the U.S. dollar due to continued deterioration of economic
fundamentals in Japan. In February, all of the futures traded currencies
appreciated against the U.S. dollar, except the Canadian dollar. March was a
relatively volatile month for G-7 currencies. The U.S. dollar fell from 133 to
127.50 Japanese yen during the first week, and then almost completely reversed
the move by month-end, causing losses.

Agricultural trading was the least successful strategy. During January and
February, coffee prices were in a downward trend. This trend sharply reversed in
March as reduced exports from Mexico and Central America trimmed inventories of
exchange-approved soybeans in U.S. warehouses. As prices rose, the Partnership's
short positions sustained losses.
