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. The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of commodity futures, forward and options trading; therefore, presentation of industry segment information is not applicable. 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 B (the 'Registrant') completed its initial offering with gross proceeds of $5,709,093 from the sale of 56,330.929 limited interests and 760 general interests. General interests are 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 subscription maximum of $33,000,000 for each Series is sold ('Continuous Offering Period'). 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 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 will make such contributions (and in return will receive general interests) as are necessary to meet this requirement. The Trading Advisor Each Series has its own independent commodity trading advisor that makes that Series' trading decisions. The Managing Owner, on behalf of the Registrant, entered into an advisory agreement with Eclipse Capital Management, Inc. (the 'Trading Advisor') to make the trading decisions for the Registrant. The advisory agreement may be terminated for various reasons, including at the discretion of the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner has allocated 100% of the proceeds from the initial and continuous offering of the Registrant to the Trading Advisor and it is currently contemplated that the Trading Advisor will continue to be allocated 100% of additional capital raised for the Registrant during the Continuous Offering Period. 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 is an open-end fund which will solicit the sale of additional Interests on a weekly basis until the subscription maximum is reached. As such, the Registrant may compete with other entities, whether or 3 not formed by the Managing Owner, to attract new participants. 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, 2000 (the 'Registrant's 2000 Annual Report') which is filed as an exhibit hereto. Other In addition to the description above, information is incorporated by reference to the Prospectus included as part of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on form S-1 (File No. 333-43041) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') on April 7, 2000 and the Prospectus Supplement filed with the SEC on December 1, 2000 (the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement are collectively referred to herein as the 'Prospectus') and the sections found therein under the following headings: 'SERIES B-Eclipse Capital's Trading System,' 'TRADING LIMITATIONS AND POLICIES,' 'DUTIES AND COMMITMENTS OF THE MANAGING OWNER' and 'SUMMARY OF AGREEMENTS.' 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 2000 Annual Report, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and the prospectus section entitled 'THE OFFERING-The Current Offering Period' and '-Use Of Proceeds.' A significant secondary market for the Interests has not developed, and is not expected to 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. 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. 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, 2000. 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 12, 2001, there were 1,193 holders of record owning 139,964.057 Interests which include 1,500 general interests. 4 Item 6.
