PART II


ITEM 5.		MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS’ COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

There is no established public market for the Trust Common Securities or the general partnership interest in the Partnership.

All of the Trust Common Securities and the entire general partnership interest in the Partnership are owned of record and beneficially by the Company.

The Company, as holder of the Trust Common Securities, is entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions accumulating from June 19, 1998 and payable quarterly in arrears on each March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, commencing September 30, 1998, at an annual rate of 7.12% of the liquidation amount per annum. Distributions not paid on the scheduled payment date will accumulate and compound quarterly at a rate per annum equal to 7.12%. The certificate of limited partnership of the Partnership does not require any regular periodic distributions to be made to the general partner; however, to the extent that aggregate payments to the Partnership on the Affiliate Investment Instruments and on certain eligible debt securities exceed distributions accumulated or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Securities, the Partnership may at times have excess funds which shall be allocated to and may, at the general partner’s sole discretion, be distributed to the general partner.


ITEM 6.		SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

No disclosure is required for this Item pursuant to General Instruction I of Form 10-K.


ITEM 7.		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

No disclosure is required for this Item pursuant to General Instruction I of Form 10-K. There are no material changes in the amount of revenue and expense items between the most recent year presented and the fiscal year immediately preceding it.


ITEM 7A.		QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

On June 19, 1998, the Trust invested the gross proceeds from the sale of the Trust Common Securities and the TOPrS in the Partnership Preferred Securities (the “Trust Assets”). The Partnership, in turn, invested the proceeds from the sale of the Partnership Preferred Securities and a capital contribution from the Company in certain Affiliate Investment Instruments and eligible securities (the “Partnership Assets”). To the extent the Partnership has funds available from the Partnership Assets, the general partner of the Partnership may declare distributions to the Trust, as holder of the Partnership Preferred Securities. The Trust’s ability to pay distributions to the holders of the TOPrS is dependent on its receipt of distributions on the Trust Assets from the Partnership. Therefore, upon the receipt by the Partnership of payments from the Partnership Assets and the distribution thereof to the Trust, the Trust will pass through such payments to the holders of the TOPrS.


ITEM 8.		FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The pre-approved list of services consists of audit services, audit-related services, tax services and all other services. All requests or applications for PwC audit services, audit-related services, tax services or all other services must be submitted to members of Bank of America’s corporate audit function or tax function to determine if the services are included within the pre-approved list of services that have received BAC Audit Committee pre-approval. Any type of service that is not included on the pre-approved list of services must be specifically approved by the BAC Audit Committee or its designee. Any proposed service that is included on the list of pre-approved services but will cause the pre-approved fee level to be exceeded will also require specific pre-approval by the BAC Audit Committee or its designee, the BAC Audit Committee Chairman, provided that any such pre-approval by the BAC Audit Committee is presented to the full BAC Audit Committee at its next meeting.

All of the fees paid to PwC in 2010 were pre-approved by the BAC Audit Committee, and there were no services for which the de minimis exception permitted in certain circumstances under SEC rules was utilized.

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

PwC’s fees for professional services rendered in or provided for 2010 and 2009, respectively, to the Trust and Partnership were:

1. ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE

Merrill Lynch Preferred Capital Trust IV (the “Trust”) is a statutory business trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act, as amended. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (the “Company”) is the sole owner of the Trust common securities. The Trust exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing trust securities, consisting of 7.12% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) and trust common securities (the “Trust Common Securities”), representing undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of the Trust, (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the trust securities in 7.12% Partnership Preferred Securities (the “Partnership Preferred Securities”) issued by Merrill Lynch Preferred Funding IV, L.P. (the “Partnership”), and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto.

The Company has agreed to (i) pay all fees and expenses related to the organization and operations of the Trust (including taxes, audit fees, duties, assessments, or government charges of whatever nature(other than withholding taxes) imposed by the United States of America or any other domestic taxing authority upon the Trust) and the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities and (ii) be responsible for all debts and other obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities). The Company has agreed to indemnify the trustees and certain other persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for expenses arising from certain claims.

On January 1, 2009, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates that affect reported amounts and disclosure of contingencies in the financial statements. As such, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Trust adopted calendar quarter-end and year-end reporting periods to coincide with those of the Company and Bank of America. Earnings for the intervening period between the Trust’s fiscal year ended December 26, 2008 and the calendar year beginning January 1, 2009 were not material. During this period, the Trust received cash of $7.3 million from an affiliate and paid $7.3 million in distributions.

INVESTMENTS

The investment in the affiliate partnership preferred securities represents a limited partnership interest and is recorded at cost. Income on the Partnership Preferred Securities is accrued when earned.

INCOME TAXES

The Trust does not incur any income tax liabilities. Such liabilities are incurred directly by the security holders.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such 2008 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Trust’s operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 26, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation on January 1, 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2010

1. ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE

Merrill Lynch Preferred Funding IV, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended. Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (the “Company”) is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The Partnership is managed by the general partner and exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing its partnership interests, consisting of the Company’s general partner interest and the Partnership Preferred Securities, (ii) investing the proceeds thereof in certain eligible securities of the Company and wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Affiliate Investment Instruments”) and certain eligible debt securities, and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto.

The Company, in its capacity as sole general partner of the Partnership, has agreed to (i) pay all fees and expenses related to the organization and operations of the Partnership (including taxes, audit fees, duties, assessments, or government charges (other than withholding taxes) imposed by the United States or any other domestic taxing authority upon the Partnership) and (ii) be responsible for all debts and other obligations of the Partnership (other than with respect to the Partnership Preferred Securities). In such capacity, the Company has also agreed to indemnify certain officers and agents of the Partnership to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for losses by reason of certain acts or omissions on behalf of the Partnership to the extent of the Partnership’s assets.

On January 1, 2009, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted calendar quarter-end and year-end reporting periods to coincide with those of the Company and Bank of America. Earnings for the intervening period between the Partnership’s fiscal year ended December 26, 2008 and the calendar year beginning January 1, 2009 were not material. During this period, the Partnership received cash of $8.5 million from an affiliate and paid $8.5 million in distributions.

INVESTMENTS

The Partnership’s investment in affiliate debentures is recorded at cost. Its investment in U.S. Government and agency securities is recorded at accreted cost and matures within one year. At December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of the investment in affiliate debentures is approximately $447 million and the fair value of the investment in U.S. Government and agency securities approximates its carrying value.

INCOME TAXES

The Partnership does not incur any income tax liabilities. Such liabilities are incurred directly by the partners.

December 31, 2010

3. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE DEBENTURES

The Partnership holds debentures of the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The debentures mature on March 30, 2018 and bear interest at 7.12% per annum. The interest payment dates and redemption provisions of the debentures, which became redeemable at the option of the Company and its subsidiary on June 30, 2008, correspond to the distribution payment dates and redemption provisions of the Partnership Preferred Securities. Interest and redemption payments on the subsidiary debenture are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis.

4. PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

The Partnership issued 16,000,000 7.12% Partnership Preferred Securities and 494,880 7.12% Trust Common Securities, $25 liquidation amount per each security, to the Trust on June 19, 1998. Distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly if, as, and when declared by the general partner. The Partnership Preferred Securities became redeemable on June 30, 2008 at the option of the Partnership, at a redemption price equal to $25 per security. Except as provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement and Partnership Preferred Securities Guarantee Agreement, and as otherwise provided by law, the holders of the Partnership Preferred Securities have no voting rights.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions by the Partnership on the Partnership Preferred Securities if, as, and when declared out of funds legally available and payments upon liquidation of the Partnership or the redemption of the Partnership Preferred Securities to the extent of funds legally available. This guarantee is subordinated to all other liabilities of the Company.

Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Partnership Preferred Securities, the Company, as general partner, contributed capital to the Partnership in the amount of approximately $73 million. The Partnership may at times have excess funds which are allocated to the Company and may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be distributed to the Company to the extent that aggregate payments by the Company to the Partnership exceed distributions accumulated or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Securities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the General Partner and Limited Partner of Merrill Lynch Preferred Funding IV, L.P.:

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of earnings, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Merrill Lynch Preferred Funding IV, L.P. (the “Partnership”) at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
