NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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" or the "Fund") as of
September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996. However, the operating results for the interim
periods may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with general accepted accounting
principles 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, 1996 (the "Annual Report").

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
MLIP is currently reviewing certain aspects of the interest arrangements
between the Partnership and certain affiliates of MLIP. The purpose of the
review is to confirm that the Partnership received interest credits as described
in its Prospectus. The results of this review have not been determined.
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
Operational Overview; Advisor Selections
- ----------------------------------------
Due to the nature of the Fund's business, its results of operations
depend on Merrill Lynch Investment Partners Inc.'s ("MLIP") ability to select
Advisors and determine the appropriate percentage of assets to allocate to them
for trading, as well as the Advisors' ability to recognize and capitalize on
trends and other profit opportunities in different sectors of the world
commodity markets. MLIP's Advisor selection procedure and leveraging analysis,
as well as the Advisors' trading methods, are confidential, so that
substantially the only information that can be furnished regarding the Fund's
results of operations is contained in the performance record of its trading.
Unlike operating businesses, general economic or seasonal conditions do not
directly affect the profit potential of the Fund, and its past performance is
not necessarily indicative of future results. Because of the speculative nature
of its trading, operational or economic trends have little relevance to the
Fund's results. MLIP believes, however, that there are certain market
conditions, for example, markets with strong price trends, in which the Fund has
a better likelihood of being profitable than in others.
9
<PAGE>
As of October 1, 1997, the Partnership's assets were allocated as
follows:
TRADING ADVISOR MARKETS TRADED % ALLOCATION
- --------------- -------------- ------------
Chesapeake Capital Corporation Diversified 28.53
Sjo, Inc. Diversified 29.75
Hyman Beck & Co., Inc. Diversified 19.65
Willowbridge Associate Inc. Diversified 16.10
Coral Rock Investments, Inc. Currencies 5.97
-----
100.00%
MLIP expects to continue to change both allocations and Advisor
selections from time to time without advance notice to existing investors.
MLIP has no timetable or schedule for making Advisor changes or
reallocations, and generally intends to make a medium- to long-term commitment
to all Advisors selected. However, there can be no assurance as to the
frequency or number of the Advisor changes which may take place in the future,
or as to how long any of the current Advisors will continue to manage assets for
the Fund.
Results of Operations - General
- -------------------------------
MLIP believes that multi-Advisor futures funds should be regarded as
medium- to long-term investments but, unlike an operating business, it is
difficult to identify "trends" in the Fund's operations and virtually impossible
to make any predictions regarding future results based on results to date.
Markets in which sustained price trends occur with some frequency 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 trending markets will occur and (iii) different Advisors are affected
differently by trends in general as well as by particular types of trends.
The Fund controls credit risk in its trading in the derivatives markets
by trading only through Merrill Lynch entities which MLIP believes to be
creditworthy. The Fund attempts to control the market risk inherent in its
derivatives trading by utilizing a multi-advisor, multi-strategy structure.
This structure purposefully attempts to diversify the Fund's Advisor group among
different strategy types and market sectors in an effort to reduce risk
(although the Fund's portfolio currently emphasizes technical and trend-
following approaches).
Performance Summary
- -------------------
During the first nine months of 1996, the Fund's average month-end Net
Assets equaled $25,833,815 and the Fund recognized gross trading gains of
$463,395 or 1.79% of average month-end Net Assets. Brokerage commissions of
$1,903,923 or 7.37%, Administrative fees of $48,818 or .19% and Profit Shares of
$75,570 or .29% of average month-end Net Assets were paid. Interest income of
$877,858 or 3.40% of average month-end Net Assets resulted in a net loss of
$687,058 or 2.66% of average month-end Net Assets, which resulted in a 2.35%
decrease in the overall Net Asset Value per Unit since December 31, 1995.
During the first nine months of 1997, the Fund's average month-end Net
Assets equaled $25,653,432 and the Fund recognized gross trading gains of
$1,458,197 or 5.68% of average month-end Net Assets. Brokerage commissions of
$696,950 or 2.71%, Administrative fees of $19,754 or .08% and Profit Shares of
$106,758 or .42% of average month-end Net Assets were paid. Interest income of
$407,370 or 1.59% and income from investments of $ 1,036,043 or 4.04% of average
month-end Net Assets resulted in net gain of $2,078,148 or 8.1% of average
month-end Net Assets which resulted in a 8.47% increase in the overall Net
Asset Value per Unit since December 31, 1996.
During the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, the Fund experienced 10
profitable months and 8 unprofitable months.

</TABLE>
Importance of Market Factors
- ----------------------------
Comparisons between the Fund's performance in a given period in one
fiscal year to the same period in a prior year are unlikely to be meaningful,
given the uncertainty of price movements in the markets traded by the Fund. In
general, MLIP expects that the Fund is most likely to trade successfully in
markets which exhibit strong and sustained price trends. The current Advisor
group emphasizes technical and trend-following methods. Consequently, one would
expect that in trendless, "choppy"
10
<PAGE>
markets the Fund would likely be unprofitable, while in markets in which major
price movements occur, the Fund would have its best profit potential (although
there could be no assurance that the Fund would, in fact, trade profitably).
However, trend-followers not infrequently will miss major price movements, and
market corrections can result in rapid and material losses (sometimes as much as
5% in a single day). Although MLIP monitors market conditions and Advisor
performance on an ongoing basis in overseeing the Fund's trading, MLIP does not
attempt to "market forecast" or to "match" trading styles with predicted market
conditions. Rather, MLIP concentrates on quantitative and qualitative analysis
of prospective Advisors, as well as on statistical studies of the historical
performance parameters of different Advisor combinations in selecting Advisors
and allocating and reallocating Fund assets among them.
Because managed futures advisors' strategies are proprietary and
confidential and market movements unpredictable, selecting advisors to implement
speculative trading strategies involves considerable uncertainty. Furthermore,
the concentration of the Fund's current Advisor portfolio, both in terms of the
number of managers retained and the common emphasis of their strategies on
technical and trend-following methods, increases the risk that unexpectedly bad
performance, turbulent market conditions or a combination of the two will result
in significant losses.
Liquidity
- ---------
Most of the Partnership's assets are held as cash which, in turn, is
used to margin its futures positions and earn interest income and is withdrawn,
as necessary, to pay redemptions and fees.
The futures contracts in which the Partnership trades may become illiquid
under certain market conditions. Commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in
futures prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily limits."
During a single day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
Once the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
generally neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect
trades at or within the limit. Futures contracts have occasionally moved to the
daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market
conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its futures
(including its options) positions. There are no limitations on the daily price
moves in trading foreign currency forward contracts through banks, although
illiquidity may develop in the forward markets due to large spreads between

Capital Resources
- -----------------
The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital
assets and has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The
Partnership uses its assets to supply the necessary margin or premiums for, and
to pay any losses incurred in connection with, its trading activity and to pay
redemptions and fees.
Inflation is not a significant factor in the Fund's profitability,
although inflationary cycles can give rise to the type of major price movements
which can have a materially favorable or adverse impact on the Fund's
performance.
