                         WORLD MONITOR TRUST--SERIES A
                          (a Delaware Business Trust)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 28, 2003
                                  (Unaudited)

A. General

   These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. (the 'Managing Owner'), the
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of World
Monitor Trust--Series A ('Series A') as of March 28, 2003 and December 31, 2002
and the results of its operations for the period from January 1, 2003 to
March 28, 2003 ('First Quarter 2003') and January 1, 2002 to March 29, 2002
('First Quarter 2002'). However, the operating results for the interim periods
may not be indicative of the results expected for a full year.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. It is suggested that
these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in Series A's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2002.

B. Related Parties

   The Managing Owner of Series A is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential
Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), which, in turn, is an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. The Managing Owner or its affiliates
perform services for Series A, which include, but are not limited to: brokerage
services; accounting and financial management; registrar, transfer and
assignment functions; investor communications, printing and other administrative
services. Except for costs related to brokerage services, PSI or its affiliates
pay the costs of these services in addition to Series A's routine operational,
administrative, legal and auditing costs.

   The costs charged to Series A for brokerage services for First Quarter 2003
and First Quarter 2002 were $97,312 and $97,172, respectively.

   Series A's assets are maintained either in trading or cash accounts with PSI,
Series A's commodity broker, or, for margin purposes, with the various exchanges
on which Series A is permitted to trade. PSI credits Series A monthly with 100%
of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series A's accounts.

   Series A, acting through its trading advisor, may execute over-the-counter,
spot, forward and/or option foreign exchange transactions with PSI. PSI then
engages in back-to-back trading with an affiliate, Prudential-Bache Global
Markets Inc. ('PBGM'). PBGM attempts to earn a profit on such transactions. PBGM
keeps its prices on foreign currency competitive with other interbank currency
trading desks. All over-the-counter currency transactions are conducted between
PSI and Series A pursuant to a line of credit. PSI may require that collateral
be posted against the marked-to-market position of Series A.

C. Derivative Instruments and Associated Risks

   Series A is exposed to various types of risks associated with the derivative
instruments and related markets in which it invests. These risks include, but
are not limited to, risk of loss from fluctuations in the value of derivative
instruments held (market risk) and the inability of counterparties to perform
under the terms of Series A's investment activities (credit risk).

                                       5

<Page>

Market Risk

   Trading in futures and forward contracts (including foreign exchange)
involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular
commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the
contracts, which is typically many times that of Series A's net assets being
traded, significantly exceeds Series A's future cash requirements since Series A
intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, Series
A is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the
value of the contracts. As such, Series A considers the 'fair value' of its
derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts.
The market risk associated with Series A's commitments to purchase commodities
is limited to the gross or face amount of the contract held. However, when
Series A enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make
delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase
the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase
price to which a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to
sell commodities exposes Series A to unlimited risk.

   Market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including government
programs and policies, political and economic events, the level and volatility
of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the diversification effects
among the derivative instruments Series A holds and the liquidity and inherent
volatility of the markets in which Series A trades.

Credit Risk

   When entering into futures or forward contracts, Series A is exposed to
credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations.
The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and most foreign
futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with the particular exchange.
In general, clearinghouses are backed by their corporate members who are
required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one
of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In
cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some
foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other
financial institutions. On the other hand, if Series A enters into forward
transactions, the sole counterparty is PSI, Series A's commodity broker. Series
A has entered into a master netting agreement with PSI and, as a result, when
applicable, presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions as a
net amount in the statements of financial condition. The amount at risk
associated with counterparty non-performance of all of Series A's contracts is
the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition;
however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of Series A's contracts
may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of Series A's contracts.
There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or
clearinghouse will meet its obligations to Series A.

   The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by
requiring Series A 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,
executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties; 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 Series A, the Managing
Owner and the trading advisor, Series A 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 effective
date of the advisory agreement (i.e., March 2000). Furthermore, the Second
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement provides that
Series A will liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if Series A
experiences a decline in 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 net asset value is after giving effect for distributions,
contributions and redemptions. The Managing Owner may impose additional
restrictions (through modifications of trading limitations and policies) upon
the trading activities of the trading advisor as it, in good faith, deems to be
in the best interest of Series A.

   PSI, when acting as Series A's futures commission merchant in accepting
orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC') regulations to separately account
for and segregate as belonging to Series A all assets of Series A relating to
domestic futures trading and is not allowed to commingle such assets with other
assets of PSI. At March 28, 2003, such segregated assets totalled $1,015,303.
Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires PSI to secure

                                       6

<Page>

assets of Series A related to foreign futures trading which totalled $4,036,036
at March 28, 2003. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to
forward trading.

   As of March 28, 2003, Series A's open futures contracts mature within three
months.

                         WORLD MONITOR TRUST--SERIES A
                          (a Delaware Business Trust)
           ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Series A commenced operations on June 10, 1998 with gross proceeds of
$6,039,177 allocated to commodities trading. Interests in Series A continued to
be offered weekly until Series A achieved its subscription maximum of
$34,000,000 during November 1999. The Managing Owner suspended the offering of
interests in World Monitor Trust--Series B and World Monitor Trust--Series C and
allowed all selling registrations to expire by April 30, 2002. As such,
interests owned in one series of World Monitor Trust may no longer be exchanged
for interests of one or more other series of World Monitor Trust.

   Interests in Series A may be redeemed on a weekly basis. Redemptions of
limited interests for First Quarter 2003 and for the period from June 10, 1998
(commencement of operations) to March 28, 2003 were $269,825 and $23,607,265,
respectively. While there were no redemptions of general interests during First
Quarter 2003, redemptions of general interests for the period from June 10, 1998
(commencement of operations) to March 28, 2003 were $217,115. Future redemptions
will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts
in subsequent periods.

   At March 28, 2003, 100% of Series A's net assets were allocated to
commodities trading. A significant portion of the net assets was held in cash,
which was used as margin for Series A's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the
sole business of Series A is to trade in commodities, Series A continues to own
such liquid assets to be used as margin. PSI credits Series A monthly with 100%
of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series A's accounts.

   The commodities contracts are subject to periods of illiquidity because of
market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example,
commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain commodity futures contract
prices during a single day by regulations referred to as 'daily limits.' During
a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once
the price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily
limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market
conditions could prevent Series A from promptly liquidating its commodity
futures positions.

   Since Series A's business is to trade futures and forward contracts, its
capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk)
or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contract
(credit risk). Series A's exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of
factors, including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded
and the relationship among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of
Series A's speculative trading, as well as the development of drastic market
occurrences, could result in monthly losses considerably beyond Series A's
experience to date and could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially
all of investors' capital. The Managing Owner attempts to minimize these risks
by requiring Series A and its trading advisor to abide by various trading
limitations and policies, which include limiting margin amounts, trading only in
liquid markets and permitting the use of stop loss provisions. See Note C to the
financial statements for a further discussion on the credit and market risks
associated with Series A's futures and forward contracts.

   Series A does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.

Results of Operations

   The net asset value per interest as of March 28, 2003 was $101.39, an
increase of 3.60% from the December 31, 2002 net asset value per interest of
$97.87. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

   Series A's gross trading gains (losses) were $292,000 during First Quarter
2003 compared to $(184,000) during First Quarter 2002. Due to the nature of
Series A's trading activities, a period to period comparison of

                                       8

its trading results is not meaningful. However, a detailed discussion of Series
A's First Quarter 2003 trading results is presented below.

Quarterly Market Overview

   Global economic activity for the first quarter of 2003 was characterized by
weakness and volatility. The U.S. economy exhibited signs of a slowdown as
consumers and businesses continued to reduce spending due to concerns regarding
the war in Iraq, SARS outbreak, high oil price premiums, weak corporate profits
and depressed global economies. With the exception of steady automobile orders
and existing home sales fueled by attractive interest rates, retail sales
continued to be sluggish. Labor market indicators were negative and
manufacturing contracted. Foreign economies generally mirrored that of the U.S.
In Europe and Asia, economic recovery appeared to have slowed, but Canada
recorded moderate economic expansion.

   Indices: Major global equity markets rallied early in the quarter but slid on
fears of an impending war with Iraq, possible terrorism and geopolitical
tension. Anticipation of a quick decisive victory in Iraq resulted in a brief
market run up in mid-March. However, toward the end of the quarter, markets were
whipsawed as investors responded to every turn of military events in the Middle
East. Ultimately, the markets ended the quarter lower as investors awaited a
resolution. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 4.2% and the S&P 500
dropped 3.2%. Several encouraging earnings reports boosted the Nasdaq Composite
resulting in a net gain of 0.42% for the quarter. Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index
hit a 20-year low at the end of the first quarter.

   Interest rates: At both the January and March meetings, the U.S. Federal
Reserve left the federal funds rate unchanged at the 41-year low of 1.25%. In
mid-March, initial optimism for the Coalition Forces' success in Iraq resulted
in a shift by investors to junk bonds and stocks marking the worst setback for
the U.S. Treasury markets in 18 months. U.S. Treasury yields increased by 41
basis points from a 44-year low, incurring the biggest weekly increase in yield
since November 2001. Toward the end of the quarter, uncertainty about the war
led investors to take defensive positions, with the price of 10-year Treasury
notes ending the quarter up 3.81%. In Europe, the European Central Bank cut
interest rates by 0.25% in the beginning of March. The lowered interest rate
coupled with weak global economic growth prospects resulted in the strengthening
of European bond prices.

   Currencies: Perceptions of quick success in Iraq boosted the U.S. dollar
versus many foreign currencies. However, concerns that the war would disrupt the
U.S. economy strengthened the euro against the U.S. dollar. For the first time
in three years, the exchange rate between the euro and U.S. dollar reached
$1.10. As a result, the U.S. dollar ended the quarter down against the euro and
the Japanese yen. In Canada, the Bank of Canada increased its overnight interest
rate in March in response to inflation concerns, resulting in the strengthening
of the Canadian dollar.

   Energies: Price increases in the world oil markets at the beginning of the
first quarter were fed by concerns of supply disruptions due to the conflict in
Iraq, civil strife in Venezuela, anticipation of a Nigerian strike and tensions
on the Korean peninsula. In mid-March, anticipation of a quick resolution of the
war in Iraq coupled with the end of an extended cold snap in the northeastern
United States led to a significant reversal in energy prices. However, at
quarter-end, fears of the possibility of a prolonged war in Iraq and low
supplies pushed energy futures prices higher despite the securing of Iraqi oil
wells.

   Softs: Cocoa prices declined as a result of the continuing political
stability in the Ivory Coast. Expectations for less rain in the U.S. plains
states boosted wheat prices toward the end of the quarter and corn prices rose
as a result of bullish prospective planting and stocks data released by U.S.
Department of Agriculture. Soybean futures declined as a result of rain in key
growing regions in Southern Argentina and weaker overseas prices.

Quarterly Performance of Series A

   The following is a summary of performance for the major sectors in which
Series A traded:

   Energies (+): Long natural gas positions resulted in net gains as prices rose
amid expectations of unseasonable cold weather in Northeastern U.S. and sharp
drawdown of storage levels.

   Interest rates (+): Concerns around the war in Iraq, poor performance in the
equity markets and weak global economies strengthened European bond prices
resulting in net gains for long positions.

   Currencies (+): The U.S. dollar fell against many foreign currencies amid
concerns that the war in Iraq would disrupt the U.S. economy. Long euro
positions resulted in net gains.

   Metals (-): Long aluminum positions incurred losses as base metal prices
declined due to large inventories and reduced demand.

   Series A's average net asset level during First Quarter 2003 decreased
slightly in comparison to First Quarter 2002, primarily due to redemptions
subsequent to the First Quarter 2002 offset by strong trading performance
subsequent to the First Quarter 2002. Interest income, commissions and
management fees, which are based on the asset levels, have remained in
proportion to the change in asset level.

   Interest income is earned on Series A's average net assets held at PSI and,
therefore, varies monthly according to interest rates, trading performance and
redemptions. Interest income decreased $9,000 during First Quarter 2003 as
compared to First Quarter 2002 due to lower interest rates during First Quarter
2003 as compared to First Quarter 2002, and due to the slight decrease in
average net assets as discussed above.

   Commissions are calculated on Series A's net asset value at the end of each
week and, therefore, vary according to weekly trading performance and
redemptions. Commissions were relatively the same during First Quarter 2003 as
compared to First Quarter 2002 due to the slight decline in average net asset
levels as discussed above.

   All trading decisions for Series A are made by Eagle-Global System (the
'Trading Advisor'). Management fees are calculated on Series A's net asset value
at the end of each week and, therefore, are affected by weekly trading
performance and redemptions. Management fees were relatively the same during
First Quarter 2003 as compared to First Quarter 2002 due to the slight decrease
in average net asset levels as discussed above.

   Incentive fees are based on the 'New High Net Trading Profits' generated by
the Trading Advisor, as defined in the advisory agreement among the Trust, the
Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor. No incentive fees were paid during First
Quarter 2003 or First Quarter 2002.
