                                     PART I

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 those of 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.

   World Monitor Trust--Series C (the 'Registrant') is engaged solely in the
business of commodity futures and forward trading; therefore, presentation of
industry segment information is not applicable.

The Offering

   Beneficial interests in each Series ('Interests') were offered once each week
until each Series' subscription maximum was met either through sale or exchange
or until the managing owner of the Registrant, Prudential Securities Futures
Management Inc. (the 'Managing Owner'), suspended the offering of Interests. 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. The Registrant completed its initial offering with gross proceeds of
$5,706,177 from the sale of 56,301.770 limited interests and 760 general
interests. General interests were sold exclusively to the Managing Owner.

   World Monitor Trust--Series A ('Series A') was offered until it reached its
subscription maximum of $34,000,000 during November 1999. Interests in World
Monitor Trust--Series B ('Series B') and World Monitor Trust--Series C ('Series
C') were offered on a weekly basis at the then current net asset value per
Interest until the Managing Owner suspended the offering of Interests for each
Series ('Continuous Offering Period'). The Managing Owner suspended the offering
of Interests in Series B and Series C and allowed all selling registrations to
expire by April 30, 2002. As such, Interests owned in one Series of the Trust
may no longer be exchanged for Interests of one or more other Series. While the
Managing Owner does not anticipate doing so, it may, at its election, reinstate
the offering of Interests in Series B and Series C in the future.

   During the Continuous Offering Period, the Registrant raised additional gross
proceeds of $18,027,985 from the sale of Interests.

Managing Owner and its Affiliates

   The Managing Owner of the Registrant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Prudential Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), which, in turn, is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. ('Prudential'). PSI is the
selling agent for the Registrant, as well as its commodity broker. In February
2003, Prudential and Wachovia Corp. ('Wachovia') announced an agreement to
combine each company's respective retail securities brokerage and clearing
operations within a new firm, which will be headquartered in Richmond, Virginia.
Under the agreement, Prudential will have a 38% ownership interest in the new
firm and Wachovia will own 62%. The transaction, which includes the securities
brokerage, securities clearing, and debt capital markets operations of PSI, but
does not include the equity sales, trading and research operations or commodity
brokerage and derivative operations of PSI, is anticipated to close in the third
quarter of 2003. The Managing Owner, as well as the commodity broker, will
continue to be indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential.

   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.
                                       3

The Trading Advisor

   Each Series has its own independent commodity trading advisor that makes that
Series' trading decisions. As of June 7, 2000, Hyman Beck & Company, Inc.
('Hyman Beck') ceased to serve as a trading advisor to the Registrant. The
advisory agreement among the Registrant, the Managing Owner and Hyman Beck was
automatically terminated when the assets allocated to Hyman Beck declined by
greater than 33 1/3% from their initial allocation on June 10, 1998.

   On November 13, 2000, the Managing Owner entered into a new advisory
agreement with Northfield Trading L.P. (the 'Trading Advisor'), an independent
commodities trading advisor, to make the trading decisions for the Registrant.
The new advisory agreement may be terminated for various reasons, including at
the discretion of the Managing Owner. The management fee paid to the Trading
Advisor equals 0.0385% of the Registrant's allocated assets determined as of the
close of business each Friday (an annual rate of 2%), the same as was previously
paid to Hyman Beck. The quarterly incentive fee paid to the Trading Advisor
equals 20% of the 'New High Net Trading Profits' as defined in the advisory
agreement among the Registrant, the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor, as
compared to 23% paid to Hyman Beck. Additionally, the Trading Advisor must
recoup the cumulative trading losses of Hyman Beck before it is paid an
incentive fee. Furthermore, since Series C's assets were not allocated to
commodities trading from June 8, 2000 until the new Trading Advisor began
trading, Series C was not subject to management fees or commissions during that
period.

   The Managing Owner has allocated 100% of the proceeds from the initial and
continuous offering of the Registrant to the Trading Advisor.

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 additional
Interests on a weekly basis until the Managing Owner suspended the offering of
Interests. See Section 1, Business, for more information on the suspension of
the offering of Interests. In addition, 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, as well as with other market
participants.

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 financial statements included in its annual report to limited
owners for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the 'Registrant's 2002 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 and the use of proceeds
is incorporated by reference to Note A to the Registrant's 2002 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 transacted within one year
of the effective date of purchase. The Managing Owner has suspended the offering
of Interests in the Trust and, as such, Interests owned in one Series of the
Trust may no longer be exchanged for Interests of one or more other Series (as
further discussed in Item 1, Business). 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.

   The Registrant did not sell any unregistered interests (i.e. general
interests) exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933 during the year ended December 31, 2002.

   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, 2003, there were 622 holders of record owning 53,513.253
Interests which include 613 general interests.

   The following table presents selected financial data of the Registrant. This

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 (the 'SEC')
on Forms 3, 4 or 5. Such executive officers, directors and Ten Percent Owners
are required by the SEC 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. 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
SEC during and with respect to its most recent fiscal year.

            internal controls which could adversely affect Series C's

            data and have identified for Series C's auditors any material
            weaknesses in internal controls; and

        b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
            or other employees who have a significant role in Series C's
            internal controls; and

       report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
       controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
       controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including
