                                     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.

   Series A (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') are offered once each week
until each Series' subscription maximum has been issued either through sale or
exchange or until the managing owner of the Registrant, Prudential Securities
Futures Management Inc. (the 'Managing Owner'), suspends 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 $6,039,177 from the sale of 59,631.775 limited interests and
760.000 general interests. General interests were sold exclusively to the
managing owner.

   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 then current net asset value per
Interest until the Managing Owner suspends the offering of Interests or the
subscription maximum of $33,000,000 for each Series is sold ('Continuous
Offering Period'). On February 25, 2002, the Managing Owner elected to suspend
the offering of Interests in Series B and Series C upon the expiration of
current selling registrations. The registration expired in many states on March
24, 2002 and all registrations will expire by April 30, 2002. 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.

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. PSI is the selling agent
for the Registrant, as well as its commodity broker. 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 has made
contributions (and in return has received general interests) as were necessary
to meet 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. (the '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

                                       3

<Page>

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 was to 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 was at least $80 for a period of at
least 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. Series A also pays its Trading Advisor a
quarterly incentive fee equal to 23% of Series A's 'New High Net Trading
Profits' (as defined in the New Advisory Agreement). The incentive fee accrues
weekly. Additionally, although the term of the New 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.
Furthermore, the New Advisory Agreement resets the net asset value for purposes
of its termination provisions. The New Advisory Agreement may be terminated for
a variety of reasons, including 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, 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, 2001 (the 'Registrant's 2001 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 2001 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. Additionally, Interests owned in one series
of the Trust (Series A, B or C) may be exchanged, without any charge, for

                                       4

<Page>

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. (See also Item 1, Business, for
information regarding the suspension of the offering of Interests.) Once the
suspension of the offering of Interests takes effect, Interests owned in one
series of the Trust may no longer be exchanged for Interests of one or more
other Series. 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, 2002, there were 668 holders of record owning 67,873.831
Interests, which includes 764.000 general interests.

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. 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.
