                         WORLD MONITOR TRUST--SERIES A
                          (a Delaware Business Trust)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 27, 2002
                                  (Unaudited)

A. General

   These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. (the 'Managing Owner'), the
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of World
Monitor Trust--Series A ('Series A') as of September 27, 2002 and December 31,
2001 and the results of its operations for the period from January 1, 2002 to
September 27, 2002 ('Year-To-Date 2002'), January 1, 2001 to September 28, 2001
('Year-To-Date 2001'), June 29, 2002 to September 27, 2002 ('Third Quarter
2002') and June 30, 2001 to September 28, 2001 ('Third Quarter 2001'). However,
the operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the
results expected for a 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 Series A's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2001.

B. Related Parties

   The Managing Owner of Series A is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential
Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), which, in turn, is an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. The Managing Owner or its affiliates
perform services for Series A, which include, but are not limited to: brokerage
services; accounting and financial management; registrar, transfer and
assignment functions; investor communications, printing and other administrative
services. Except for costs related to brokerage services, PSI or its affiliates
pay the costs of these services in addition to Series A's routine operational,
administrative, legal and auditing costs. Additionally, PSI or its affiliates
paid the costs associated with offering Series A's Interests.

   The costs charged to Series A for brokerage services for Year-To-Date 2002,
Year-To-Date 2001, Third Quarter 2002 and Third Quarter 2001 were $309,462,
$407,958, $117,670 and $107,171, respectively.

   Series A's assets are maintained either in trading or cash accounts with PSI,
Series A's commodity broker, or, for margin purposes, with the various exchanges
on which Series A is permitted to trade. PSI credits Series A monthly with 100%
of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series A's accounts.

   Series A, acting through its trading advisor, may execute over-the-counter,
spot, forward and/or option foreign exchange transactions with PSI. PSI then
engages in back-to-back trading with an affiliate, Prudential-Bache Global
Markets Inc. ('PBGM'). PBGM attempts to earn a profit on such transactions. PBGM
keeps its prices on foreign currency competitive with other interbank currency
trading desks. All over-the-counter currency transactions are conducted between
PSI and Series A pursuant to a line of credit. PSI may require that collateral
be posted against the marked-to-market position of Series A.

C. Derivative Instruments and Associated Risks

   Series A is exposed to various types of risks associated with the derivative
instruments and related markets in which it invests. These risks include, but
are not limited to, risk of loss from fluctuations in the value of derivative
instruments held (market risk) and the inability of counterparties to perform
under the terms of Series A's investment activities (credit risk).

Market Risk

   Trading in futures and forward contracts (including foreign exchange)
involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular
commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the
contracts, which is typically many times that of Series A's net assets being
traded, significantly exceeds Series A's future cash requirements since Series A
intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, Series
A is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in

                                       5

<Page>

the value of the contracts. As such, Series A considers the 'fair value' of its
derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts.
The market risk associated with Series A's commitments to purchase commodities
is limited to the gross or face amount of the contract held. However, when
Series A enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make
delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase
the contract at prevailing market prices. Since the repurchase price to which a
commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities
exposes Series A to unlimited risk.

   Market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including government
programs and policies, political and economic events, the level and volatility
of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the diversification effects
among the derivative instruments Series A holds and the liquidity and inherent
volatility of the markets in which Series A trades.

Credit Risk

   When entering into futures or forward contracts, Series A is exposed to
credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations.
The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and most foreign
futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with the particular exchange.
In general, clearinghouses are backed by their corporate members who are
required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one
of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In
cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some
foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other
financial institutions. On the other hand, if Series A enters into forward
transactions, the sole counterparty is PSI, Series A's commodity broker. Series
A has entered into a master netting agreement with PSI and, as a result, when
applicable, presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions as a
net amount in the statements of financial condition. The amount at risk
associated with counterparty non-performance on all of Series A's contracts is
the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition;
however, counterparty nonperformance on only certain of Series A's contracts may
result in greater loss than nonperformance on all of Series A's contracts. There
can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will
meet its obligations to Series A.

   The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by
requiring Series A and its trading advisor to abide by various trading
limitations and policies. The Managing Owner monitors compliance with these
trading limitations and policies, which include, but are not limited to,
executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties; limiting the
amount of margin or premium required for any one commodity or all commodities
combined; and generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in
sufficient volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions.
Additionally, pursuant to the advisory agreement among Series A, the Managing
Owner and the trading advisor, Series A shall automatically terminate the
trading advisor if the net asset value allocated to the trading advisor declines
by 33 1/3% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the effective
date of the advisory agreement (i.e., March 2000). Furthermore, the Second
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement provides that
Series A will liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if Series A
experiences a decline in net asset value of 50% from the value at the beginning
of any year or since the commencement of trading activities. In each case, the
decline in net asset value is after giving effect for distributions,
contributions and redemptions. The Managing Owner may impose additional
restrictions (through modifications of trading limitations and policies) upon
the trading activities of the trading advisor as it, in good faith, deems to be
in the best interests of Series A.

   PSI, when acting as Series A's futures commission merchant in accepting
orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC') regulations to separately account
for and segregate as belonging to Series A all assets of Series A relating to
domestic futures trading and is not permitted to commingle such assets with
other assets of PSI. At September 27, 2002, such segregated assets totalled
$2,404,263. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires PSI to secure assets
of Series A related to foreign futures trading, which totalled $3,987,378 at
September 27, 2002. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to
forward trading.

   As of September 27, 2002, Series A's open futures contracts mature within six
months.

                         WORLD MONITOR TRUST--SERIES A
                          (a Delaware Business Trust)
           ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Series A commenced operations on June 10, 1998 with gross proceeds of
$6,039,177 allocated to commodities trading. Interests in Series A continued to
be offered weekly until Series A achieved its subscription maximum of
$34,000,000 during November 1999. The Managing Owner suspended the offering of
Interests in World Monitor Trust--Series B and World Monitor Trust--Series C and
allowed all selling registrations to expire by April 30, 2002. As such,
Interests owned in one series of World Monitor Trust may no longer be exchanged
for Interests of one or more other series of World Monitor Trust.

   Interests in Series A may be redeemed on a weekly basis. Redemptions of
limited interests for Year-To-Date 2002, Third Quarter 2002 and for the period
from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to September 27, 2002 were
$1,535,966, $878,499 and $23,115,554, respectively. Redemptions of general
interests for Year-To-Date 2002, Third Quarter 2002 and for the period from June
10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to September 27, 2002 were $20,375,
$10,308 and $217,115. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds
available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

   At September 27, 2002, 100% of Series A's net assets were allocated to
commodities trading. A significant portion of the net assets was held in cash,
which was used as margin for Series A's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the
sole business of Series A is to trade in commodities, Series A continues to own
such liquid assets to be used as margin. PSI credits Series A monthly with 100%
of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series A's accounts.

   The commodities contracts are subject to periods of illiquidity because of
market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example,
commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity futures contract
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
neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily
limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market
conditions could prevent Series A from promptly liquidating its commodity
futures positions.

   Since Series A's business is to trade futures and forward contracts, its
capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk)
or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contract
(credit risk). Series A's exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of
factors, including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded
and the relationship among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of
Series A's speculative trading, as well as the development of drastic market
occurrences, could result in monthly losses considerably beyond Series A's
experience to date and could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially
all of investors' capital. The Managing Owner attempts to minimize these risks
by requiring Series A and its trading advisor to abide by various trading
limitations and policies, which include limiting margin amounts, trading only in
liquid markets and permitting the use of stop loss provisions. See Note C to the
financial statements for a further discussion on the credit and market risks
associated with Series A's futures and forward contracts.

   Series A does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.

Results of Operations

   The net asset value per Interest as of September 27, 2002 was $114.95, an
increase of 46.94% from the December 31, 2001 net asset value per Interest of
$78.23, and an increase of 23.88% from the June 28, 2002 net asset value per
Interest of $92.79. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future
results.

   Series A's trading gains before commissions were $2,617,000 and $1,563,000
during Year-To-Date 2002 and Third Quarter 2002, compared to $512,000 and
$522,000 during Year-To-Date 2001 and Third Quarter

2001, respectively. Due to the nature of Series A's trading activities, a period
to period comparison of its trading results is not meaningful. However, a
detailed discussion of Series A's Third Quarter 2002 trading results is
presented below.

Quarterly Market Overview

   Throughout the third quarter of 2002, household wealth continued to decrease
as the result of pervasive declines in global equity markets and uncertainty
regarding worldwide economies. As a result, U.S. consumer spending, which helped
boost U.S. economic growth in the past, was adversely impacted. Additionally,
the higher cost of equity capital, heightened degree of risk aversion and
uncertainty regarding debt and equity markets further inhibited consumer and
business investment worldwide. In the U.S., decreasing wealth stemming from
losses on equities were offset, in part, by continuing increases in home equity
values. Low mortgage interest rates remained a key factor in sustaining the
housing market at a relatively elevated level. Fears of slowing global economies
resulted in major declines in long-term interest rates and bond markets surged.
Foreign economies followed the lead of the U.S. with persistent weakness evident
in European, Asian and Latin American economies, particularly in Japan and
Brazil.

   In the interest rate sector, negative economic news throughout the quarter
coupled with significant downturns in world equity markets and disappointing
corporate profits caused a flight to quality into bond markets around the world.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank left interest rates unchanged at 1.75% in its two
meetings this quarter, switching its economic outlook for the near future from
'uncertain' to a bias toward 'economic weakness'. The European Central Bank left
short-term interest rates unchanged as well. The Japanese bond market was
particularly strong as the Japanese economy continued to struggle with recession
and investors fled to bonds for safety.

   The S&P 500 fell 17.63%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 17.87%
and the London FTSE dropped 20.07% for the quarter as investor confidence
collapsed in response to continued concerns about accounting transparency,
government investigations, heightened tension in the Middle East, and decreased
corporate sales and profits. In Japan, the Nikkei Index hit new lows as the
economy continued to struggle with structural problems and the Japanese
government prepared new fiscal policy initiatives.

   In foreign exchange markets, the U.S. dollar began the quarter down against
many foreign currencies, but reversed its trend towards quarter-end. The euro
surpassed parity with the U.S. dollar early in the quarter as investors' desire
for U.S. assets decreased, but ended the quarter lower. The British pound rose
against the U.S. dollar early in the quarter amid perceived strength in the
British economy, while the Japanese yen weakened as worries regarding the
Japanese economy persisted.

   Energy markets continued their upward climb as fears of impending war with
Iraq pushed crude oil prices up significantly. Crude oil rose from the low $20's
per barrel earlier in the year to approximately $30 a barrel at quarter-end.

   Gold and other precious metals soared throughout most of the quarter in
response to weaknesses in the U.S. dollar and global equity markets and
instability in the Middle East. In commodities markets, drought in the
Mid-Western United States drove price increases in corn, wheat and soybean
markets. Cocoa prices soared as supply deficits and violence in the Ivory Coast
pushed the markets to sixteen-year highs.

Quarterly Performance of Series A

   The following is a summary of performance for the major sectors in which
Series A traded:

   Interest rates (+): Interest rate instruments rose throughout the quarter in
response to weak economies and poor equity market performance worldwide. Long
positions in U.S., European, British and Japanese bonds resulted in gains.

   Energies (+): Energy prices rallied amid speculation of imminent war with
Iraq, low crude oil stock in the U.S. and seasonal demand pressure. Long crude
and heating oil positions resulted in gains.

   Indices (+): Short positions in the S&P 500 and Euro DAX resulted in gains as
weak economic data and disappointing earning reports pressed global equity
markets downward throughout the quarter.

   Grains (+): Drought conditions in the Mid-Western United States drove wheat
and soybean prices higher resulting in gains for long positions.

   Currencies (-): The U.S. dollar reversed its downward trend against many
foreign currencies toward quarter-end resulting in losses for long Canadian
dollar and Swiss franc positions.

   Metals (-): Short gold and silver positions incurred losses as precious metal
prices rose in response to uncertainty in the Middle East and the weak global
economy.

   Series A's average net asset levels decreased during Year-To-Date 2002 as
compared to Year-To-Date 2001 primarily from redemptions during Year-To-Date
2002 and the last quarter of 2001 offset, in part, by favorable trading
performance during Year-To-Date 2002. Series A's average net asset levels
increased during Third Quarter 2002 as compared to Third Quarter 2001 primarily
from favorable trading performance during Year-To-Date 2002 offset, in part, by
redemptions during Year-To-Date 2002 and the last quarter of 2001. The
fluctuations in asset levels have led to proportionate fluctuations in the
amount of interest earned by Series A, as well as commissions and management
fees incurred.

   Interest income is earned on the average net assets held at PSI and,
therefore, varies monthly according to interest rates, trading performance and
redemptions. Interest income decreased $173,000 and $16,100 during Year-To-Date
2002 and Third Quarter 2002 as compared to Year-To-Date 2001 and Third Quarter
2001, respectively due to lower interest rates during 2002. Interest income was
also affected by the fluctuations in average net asset levels as discussed
above.

   Commissions are calculated on Series A's net asset value at the end of each
week and, therefore, vary according to weekly trading performance and
redemptions. Commissions decreased $98,000 during Year-To-Date 2002 as compared
to Year-To-Date 2001, but increased $10,000 for Third Quarter 2002 as compared
to Third Quarter 2001 due to the fluctuation in average net asset levels as
discussed above.

   Effective December 6, 1999, the Eagle-Global System became the exclusive
trading program used by Eagle Trading Systems, Inc. (the 'Trading Advisor') to
trade Series A's assets. In conjunction with this change, the Managing Owner and
the Trading Advisor voluntarily agreed to terminate the initial advisory
agreement ('Initial Advisory Agreement') and enter into a new advisory agreement
('New Advisory Agreement') effective March 21, 2000.

   Pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement, the Trading Advisor was to be paid a
weekly management fee at an annual rate of 1% of Series A's net asset value
until the net asset value per Interest was at least $80 for a period of 10
consecutive business days, at which time the weekly management fee was to be
increased to an annual rate of 2% (i.e., the rate pursuant to the Initial
Advisory Agreement). Effective October 31, 2001, Series A sustained a net asset
value per Interest greater than $80 for 10 consecutive business days. As a
result, the Trading Advisor has been paid a weekly management fee at an annual
rate of 2% since November 1, 2001. The New Advisory Agreement may be terminated
for a variety of reasons, including at the discretion of the Managing Owner.

   All trading decisions for Series A are made by the Trading Advisor.
Management fees are calculated on Series A's net asset value at the end of each
week and, therefore, are affected by weekly trading performance and redemptions.
Management fees increased $27,000 and $17,000 during Year-To-Date 2002 and Third
Quarter 2002 as compared to Year-To-Date 2001 and Third Quarter 2001,
respectively. This increase was primarily due to the increase in management fee
rate from an annual rate of 1% of Series A's net asset value to 2%. Management
fees were also affected by the fluctuations in average net asset levels as
discussed above.

   Incentive fees are based on the 'New High Net Trading Profits' generated by
the Trading Advisor, as defined in the advisory agreement among Series A, the
Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor. Incentive fees were $153,000 for
Year-To-Date 2002 and Third Quarter 2002. There were no incentive fees during
Year-To-Date 2001.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

   Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Managing Owner
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of

design and operation of Series A's disclosure controls and procedures. Based
upon that evaluation, the Managing Owner's Chief Executive Officer and Chief

are effective. There were no significant changes in Series A's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
