EXPLANATORY NOTE
RICI Linked – PAM Advisors Fund LLC (the “Company”) is filing this Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) to amend the Company’s disclosure in Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Initial 10-K Filing”) to clarify that the certifications filed as exhibits with the Annual Report are applicable with respect to the Company as a whole as well as to each series of the Company individually. Other than with respect to Item 9A (and new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act of 2002), this Form 10-K/A does not modify or update any disclosures set forth in the Initial 10-K Filing or reflect events subsequent thereto. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Initial 10-K Filing and the Company’s subsequent reports filed the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PART II
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
PAM, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the Company and each Series as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, and, based on its evaluation, has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s or any of the Series’ internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PAM’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
PAM is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the financial reporting of each Series individually, as well as the Company as a whole. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. PAM’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of each Series individually, as well as the Company as a whole;
• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of each Series’, as well as the Company’s, financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the receipts and expenditures of each Series individually, as well as the Company as a whole, are being made only in accordance with authorizations of PAM’s management and directors; and
• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets of each Series individually, as well as the Company as a whole, that could have a material effect on the Series’ or the Company’s financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The management of PAM assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting with respect to each Series individually, as well as the Company as a whole, as of December 31, 2010. In making this
3
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, PAM’s internal control over financial reporting with respect to each Series individually, as well as the Company as a whole, is effective based on those criteria.
The Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certification of Principal Executive Officer, Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certification of Principal Financial Officer, Section 1350 Certification of Principal Executive Officer and Section 1350 Certification of Principal Financial Officer, included as Exhibits hereto, are applicable with respect to each Series individually, as well as to the Company as a whole.
