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 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. 4 Item 6. Selected Financial Data The following table presents selected financial data of the Registrant. This data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Registrant and the notes thereto on pages 2 through 9 of the Registrant's 1999 Annual Report which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

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 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. Value at % of Total Market Sector Risk Capitalization ------------------------ ---------- -------------- Interest Rates $ 658,154 2.63% Stock Indices 490,048 1.96 Commodities 238,700 .96 Currencies 8,943 .04 ---------- ----- Total $1,395,845 5.59% ---------- ----- ---------- ----- 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.' 6 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 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 quarterly financial data) is not applicable. 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.
