On January 19, 2010, AIS Futures Management LLC (the “Company”), general partner of  AIS Futures Fund IV L.P., (the “Fund”), with the approval of the Company's principals, dismissed McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (“McGladrey”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.

 
The reports of McGladrey on the Fund’s financial statements for each of the  fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and during the period from December 31, 2008  through the date of this Form 8-K, the Company has had no disagreements with McGladrey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladrey, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report on the financial statements of the Fund for such periods. There were no reportable events (as defined in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 or during the period from December 31, 2008  through the date of this Form 8-K.

 
The Company, on behalf of the Fund, requested that McGladrey furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of that letter dated January 25, 2010, is filed as an Exhibit hereto.

 
(b)
On January 22, 2010, the Company, with the approval of its principals, engaged Arthur F. Bell, Jr. & Associates, L.L.C. (“Arthur Bell”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund.  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and during the interim period from December 31, 2008  through the date of the engagement of Arthur Bell, the Company has not consulted Arthur Bell on behalf of the Fund with respect to any of the matters described in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).
