Item 1. Business

General

   World Monitor Trust (the 'Trust') is a business trust organized under the
laws of Delaware on December 17, 1997. The Trust commenced trading operations on
June 10, 1998 and will terminate on December 31, 2047 unless terminated sooner
as provided in the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust
Agreement (the 'Trust Agreement'). The Trust consists of three separate and
distinct series ('Series'): Series A, B and C. The assets of each Series are
segregated from the other Series, separately valued and independently managed.
Each Series was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified
portfolio of futures, forward and options contracts and may, from time to time,
engage in cash and spot transactions. The trustee of the Trust is Wilmington
Trust Company. The Trust's fiscal year for book and tax purposes ends on
December 31.

The Offering

   Beneficial interests in each Series ('Interests') are being offered once each
week until each Series' subscription maximum has been issued either through sale
or exchange. On June 10, 1998, a sufficient number of subscriptions for each
Series had been received and accepted by the managing owner to permit each
Series to commence trading. Series A (the 'Registrant') completed its initial
offering with gross proceeds of $6,039,177 from the sale of 59,631.775 limited
interests and 760 of general interests.

   Series A was offered until it achieved its subscription maximum of
$34,000,000 during November 1999. Interests in Series B and Series C will
continue to be offered on a weekly basis at the net asset value per Interest
until the subscription maximum of $33,000,000 for each Series is sold
('Continuous Offering Period').

   The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of commodity futures,
forward and options trading; therefore, presentation of industry segment
information is not available.

Managing Owner and its Affiliates

   The managing owner of the Registrant is Prudential Securities Futures
Management Inc. (the 'Managing Owner'), a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential
Securities Incorporated ('PSI') which, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Prudential Securities Group Inc. PSI is the selling agent for the Registrant as
well as the commodity broker of the Registrant. The Managing Owner is required
to maintain at least a 1% interest in the capital, profits and losses of each
Series so long as it is acting as the Managing Owner, and it will make such
contributions (and in return will receive such general interests) as are
necessary to effect this requirement.

The Trading Advisor

   Each Series has its own professional commodity trading advisor that makes
that Series' trading decisions. The Managing Owner has allocated 100% of the
proceeds from the initial and continuous offering of the Registrant to its
trading advisor. The Managing Owner, on behalf of the Registrant, initially
entered into an advisory agreement (the 'Initial Advisory Agreement') with Eagle
Trading Systems, Inc. ('Trading Advisor') to make the trading decisions for the
Registrant utilizing both the Eagle-Global System and the Eagle-FX System.

   Effective December 6, 1999, the Eagle-Global System became the exclusive
trading program used by the Trading Advisor to trade the Registrant's assets. In
conjunction with this change, the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor
voluntarily agreed to terminate the Initial Advisory Agreement and enter into a
new advisory agreement (the 'New Advisory Agreement') effective March 21, 2000.
Pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement, the Trading Advisor will be paid a
weekly management fee at an annual rate of 1% of the Registrant's net asset
value until the net asset value per Interest is at least $80 for a period of at
least 10 consecutive business days, at which time the weekly management fee will
be increased to an annual rate of 2% (i.e. the rate pursuant to the Initial
Advisory Agreement). Additionally, although the term of the New

                                       3

<PAGE>
Advisory Agreement commenced on March 21, 2000, the Trading Advisor must recoup
all trading losses incurred under the Initial Advisory Agreement before an
incentive fee is paid. The New Advisory Agreement may be terminated at the
discretion of the Managing Owner.

Competition

   The Managing Owner and its affiliates have formed, and may continue to form,
various entities to engage in the speculative trading of futures, forward and
options contracts which have certain of the same investment policies as the
Registrant.

   The Registrant was an open-end fund which solicited the sale of Interests on
a weekly basis until its subscription maximum was reached. As such, the
Registrant no longer competes with other entities to attract new participants.
However, to the extent that the Trading Advisor recommends similar or identical
trades to the Registrant and other accounts which it manages, the Registrant may
compete with those accounts for the execution of the same or similar trades.

Employees

   The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for
the Registrant are performed by the Managing Owner and its affiliates pursuant
to the Trust Agreement as further discussed in Notes A, C and D to the
Registrant's annual report to limited owners for the year ended December 31,
1999 ('Registrant's 1999 Annual Report') which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

Item 2. Properties

   The Registrant does not own or lease any property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

   There are no material legal proceedings pending by or against the Registrant
or the Managing Owner.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Interest Holders

   None

                                    PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Interests and Related Interest Holder
        Matters

   Information with respect to the offering of Interests is incorporated by
reference to Note A to the Registrant's 1999 Annual Report, which is filed as an
exhibit hereto.

   A significant secondary market for the Interests has not developed, and it is
not expected that one will develop in the future. There are also certain
restrictions set forth in the Trust Agreement limiting the ability of an
Interest holder to transfer Interests. However, Interests may be redeemed on a
weekly basis, but are subject to a redemption fee if effected within one year of
the effective date of purchase. Additionally, Interests owned in one Series may
be exchanged, without any charge, for Interests of one or more other Series on a
weekly basis for as long as Interests in those Series are being offered to the
public. Since Interests in Series A are no longer being offered, participants
can no longer exchange their Interests from Series B and/or Series C into Series
A; however, participants can currently continue to exchange their Interests from
Series A to Series B and/or Series C. Exchanges and redemptions are calculated
based on the applicable Series' then current net asset value per Interest as of
the close of business on the Friday immediately preceding the week in which the
exchange or redemption request is effected.

   There are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Trust
Agreement. No distributions have been made since inception and no distributions
are anticipated in the future.

   As of March 21, 2000, there were 1,624 holders of record owning 301,788.137
Interests which includes 3,081 General Interests.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

   This information is incorporated by reference to pages 12 through 14 of the
Registrant's 1999 Annual Report which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Introduction

   Past Results Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Performance

   The Registrant is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive
instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and
substantially all of the Registrant's assets are subject to the risk of trading
loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is
integral, not incidental, to the Registrant's main line of business.

   Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the
Registrant's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow.
The Registrant's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors,
including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity
price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the
diversification effects among the Registrant's open positions and the liquidity
of the markets in which it trades.

   The Registrant rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions
in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to
predict how a particular futures market scenario will affect performance, and
the Registrant's past performance is not necessarily indicative of future
results.

   Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Registrant could
reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent
uncertainty of the Registrant's speculative trading and the recurrence in the
markets traded by the Registrant of market movements far exceeding expectations
could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated
Value at Risk or the Registrant's experience to date (i.e., 'risk of ruin'). In
light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all
future projections, the inclusion of the quantification included in this section
should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the
Registrant's losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by
the Registrant's attempts to manage its market risk.

   Standard of Materiality

   Materiality as used in this section, 'Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk,' is based on an assessment of reasonably possible
market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into
account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Registrant's
market sensitive instruments.

                                       5
<PAGE>
Quantifying the Registrant's Trading Value at Risk

   Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

   The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Registrant's market risk
exposures contain 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the safe
harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

   The Registrant's risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the
Trading Advisor is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the
Registrant's mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the
Registrant's open positions is directly reflected in the Registrant's earnings
(realized or unrealized) and cash flow (whereby profits and losses on open
positions of exchange-traded contracts are settled daily through variation
margin).

   Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Registrant as
the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by
exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be
incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of any one-day
interval. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges
using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market
volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures
contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the
maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin has
been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because
initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to Value
at Risk.

   In quantifying the Registrant's Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in
the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed.
Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have
simply been aggregated to determine each trading category's aggregate Value at
Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Registrant's
positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been
reflected.

The Registrant's Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors

   The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the
Registrant's open positions by market sector at December 31, 1999. All open
position trading risk exposures of the Registrant have been included in
calculating the figures set forth below. At December 31, 1999, the Registrant's
total capitalization was approximately $25.0 million.

</TABLE>

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

   The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Registrant is
typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (maintenance
margin requirements generally range between approximately 1% and 10% of the
contract face value), as well as, many times the total capitalization of the
Registrant. The magnitude of the Registrant's open positions creates a 'risk of
ruin' not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size
of its positions, certain market conditions, although unusual, but historically
recurring from time to time, could cause the Registrant to incur severe losses
over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table, as well as the
past performance of the Registrant, give no indication of this 'risk of ruin.'

Non-Trading Risk

   The Registrant is subject to non-trading market risk on foreign cash balances
not needed for margin. However, as of December 31, 1999, the Registrant had no
foreign cash balances.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

   The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Registrant's market risk
exposures--except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical
fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Registrant manages its primary market
risk exposures--constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Registrant's primary market risk exposures as well as
the strategies used and to be used by the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor
for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies
and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Registrant's
risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies.
Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the
emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in
historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased
regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in
material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the
Registrant. There can be no assurance that the Registrant's current market
exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that
any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term.
Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment
in the Registrant.

   The primary trading risk exposures of the Registrant at December 31, 1999, by
market sector, were:

   Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of
sovereign bond positions held by the Registrant and indirectly affect the value
of its stock index positions. Interest rate movements in one country, as well
as, relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the
Registrant's profitability. The Registrant's primary interest rate exposure is
to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and other G-7 countries. The Managing
Owner anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary market
exposure of the Registrant in the foreseeable future. The changes in interest
rates which have the most effect on the Registrant are changes in long-term, as
opposed to short-term, rates. Most of the speculative positions held by the
Registrant are in medium- to long-term instruments. Consequently, even a
material change in short-term rates would have little effect on the Registrant
were the medium- to long-term rates to remain steady.

   Stock Indices. The Registrant's equity exposure is due to equity price risk
in various indices including the S&P 500 (U.S.), FTSE 100 (Britain), and the DAX
(Germany). The stock index futures traded by the Registrant are, by law, limited
to futures on broadly based indices.

   Commodities. The Trading Advisor of the Registrant trades a variety of
precious and base metals and grain contracts. At year-end, the Registrant's
commodities exposure is in copper, silver and aluminum within the base metals
market and in corn and wheat in the grain sector.

   Currencies. The currency sector Value at Risk exclusively represents foreign
margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to
reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the dollar-based Registrant in
expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

   The means by which the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor, severally,
attempt to manage the risk of the Registrant's open positions is essentially the
same in all market categories traded.

   The Trading Advisor attempts to minimize market risk exposure by applying its
own risk management trading policies. In general, the Trading Advisor's
portfolio is diversified, consisting of a wide variety of contracts traded in
both domestic and foreign markets. Additionally, stop or limit orders may, at
the Trading Advisor's discretion, be given with respect to initiating or
liquidating positions in order to seek to limit losses or secure profits.

                                       7

<PAGE>
   The Managing Owner attempts to minimize market risks by requiring the
Registrant 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, 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 the Registrant, the Managing Owner and Trading
Advisor, the Registrant 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 commencement of trading
activities. Furthermore, the Trust Agreement provides that the Registrant will
liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if the Registrant experiences
a decline in the 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 the net asset value is after giving effect for distributions, contributions
and redemptions. The Managing Owner may impose additional restrictions (through
modifications of such 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 the Registrant.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

   The financial statements are incorporated by reference to pages 2 through 10
of the Registrant's 1999 Annual Report which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

   Supplementary data specified by Item 302 of Regulation S-K (selected

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
        Financial Disclosure

   None

                                    PART III

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant

   There are no directors or executive officers of the Registrant. The
Registrant is managed by the Managing Owner.

   The Managing Owner's directors and executive officers and any person holding
more than ten percent of the Registrant's Interests ('Ten Percent Owners') are
required to report their initial ownership of such Interests and any subsequent
changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 3,
4 or 5. Such executive officers, directors and Ten Percent Owners are required
by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Registrant with
copies of all Forms 3, 4 or 5 they file. All of these filing requirements were
satisfied on a timely basis (other than Alan J. Brody who did not file Form 4 in
a timely manner upon becoming a beneficial owner but subsequently filed and is
now current in all filings). In making these disclosures, the Registrant has
relied solely on written representations of the Managing Owner's directors and
executive officers and Ten Percent Owners or copies of the reports that they
have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during and with respect
to its most recent fiscal year.

   The directors and executive officers of Prudential Securities Futures
Management Inc. and their positions with respect to the Registrant are as
