WORLD MONITOR TRUST--SERIES C
(a Delaware Business Trust)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 26, 1999
(Unaudited)
A. General
These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of World Monitor Trust--Series C ('Series C') as of March 26, 1999 and
the results of its operations for the period from January 1, 1999 through March
26, 1999 (the 'First Quarter'). However, the operating results for the interim
period 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 generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
Series C's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 1998 (the 'Annual Report').
B. Related Parties
The managing owner of Series C 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. The Managing Owner or its affiliates perform services for
Series C 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 costs of organizing Series C and offering its Interests
as well as the routine operational, administrative, legal and auditing fees. As
described in the Annual Report, all commissions for brokerage services are paid
to PSI.
All of the proceeds of the offering of Series C are received in the name of
Series C and deposited in trading or cash accounts at PSI, Series C's commodity
broker. Series C's assets are maintained either with PSI or, for margin
purposes, with the various exchanges on which Series C is permitted to trade.
PSI credits Series C monthly with 100% of the interest it earns on the average
net assets in Series C's accounts.
Series C, 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 C pursuant to a line of credit. PSI may require that collateral
be posted against the marked-to-market positions of Series C.
As of March 26, 1999, a non-U.S. affiliate of the Managing Owner owns 103.156
limited interests of Series C.
C. Credit and Market Risk
Since Series C's business is to trade futures, forward (including foreign
exchange transactions) and options 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 contracts (credit risk).
Futures, forward and options contracts involve varying degrees of off-balance
sheet risk; and changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates or the market values of the contracts (or commodities
underlying the contracts) frequently result in changes in unrealized gain (loss)
on open commodity positions reflected in the statements of financial condition.
Series C's exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors
including the relationships among the contracts held by Series C as well as the
liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded.
Futures and options contracts are traded on organized exchanges and are thus
distinguished from forward contracts which are entered into privately by the
parties. The credit risks associated with futures and
4
<PAGE>
options contracts are typically perceived to be less than those associated with
forward contracts because exchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements
in which the collective credit (subject to certain limitations) of the members
of the exchanges is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange.
On the other hand, Series C must rely solely on the credit of its broker (PSI)
with respect to forward transactions. Series C presents unrealized gains and
losses on open forward positions, if any, as a net amount in the statements of
financial condition because it has a master netting agreement with PSI.
The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by
requiring the 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 (currently, PSI is the sole counterparty
or broker); 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. 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 Series C.
PSI, when acting as the futures commission merchant in accepting orders for
the purchase or sale of domestic futures and options contracts, is required by
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC') regulations to separately account
for and segregate as belonging to Series C all assets of Series C relating to
domestic futures and options trading and is not to commingle such assets with
other assets of PSI. At March 26, 1999, such segregated assets totalled
$12,403,552. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires PSI to secure
assets of Series C related to foreign futures and options trading which totalled
$2,481,937 at March 26, 1999. There are no segregation requirements for assets
related to forward trading.
As of March 26, 1999, all open futures and forward contracts mature within
one year.
As of March 26, 1999 and December 31, 1998, gross contract amounts of open
futures and forward contracts for Series C were:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
------------ ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Financial Futures Contracts:
Commitments to purchase $ 9,441,430 $ 48,489,458
Commitments to sell 107,305,704 117,063,496
Currency Futures Contracts:
Commitments to purchase 13,069,785 4,412,265
Commitments to sell 24,235,202 7,040,770
Currency Forward Contracts:
Commitments to sell 1,959,604 --
Other Futures Contracts:
Commitments to purchase 3,050,133 414,073
Commitments to sell 3,192,161 6,486,721
</TABLE>
The gross contract amounts represent Series C's potential involvement in a
particular class of financial instrument (if it were to take or make delivery on
an underlying futures or forward contract). The gross contract amounts
significantly exceed the future cash requirements as Series C intends to close
out open positions prior to settlement and thus is generally subject only to the
risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such,
Series C considers the 'fair value' of its futures and forward contracts to be
the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. Thus, the amount at risk
associated with counterparty nonperformance of all contracts is the net
unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition. The market
risk associated with Series C's commitments to purchase commodities is limited
to the gross contract amounts involved, while the market risk associated with
its commitments to sell is unlimited since its potential involvement is to make
delivery of an underlying commodity at the contract price; therefore, it must
repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Series C commenced operations on June 10, 1998 with gross proceeds of
$5,706,177 allocated to commodities trading. Additional contributions raised
through the continuous offering for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement
of operations) through March 26, 1999 resulted in additional gross proceeds to
Series C of $8,704,038. Additional Interests of 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 is sold.
At March 26, 1999, 100% of Series C's net assets were allocated to
commodities trading. A significant portion of the net assets was held in cash
which is used as margin for Series C's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the
sole business of Series C is to trade in commodities, Series C continues to own
such liquid assets to be used as margin. PSI credits Series C monthly with 100%
of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series C'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 C from promptly liquidating its commodity
futures positions.
Since Series C's business is to trade futures, forward and options 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
contracts (credit risk). Series C'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 relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty
of Series C's speculative trading as well as the development of drastic market
occurrences could result in monthly losses considerably beyond Series C'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 C's trading advisor to abide by various trading limitations
and policies. See Note C to the financial statements for a further discussion on
the credit and market risks associated with Series C's futures and forward
contracts.
Series C does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.
Redemptions of limited interests for the First Quarter were $275,161.
Redemptions of limited interests for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement
of operations) through March 26, 1999 were $410,695. Future redemptions and
contributions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in
commodity contracts in subsequent periods.
Results of Operations
Series C commenced trading operations on June 10, 1998, and as such, no
comparative information is available.
The net asset value per Interest as of March 26, 1999 was $106.71, an
increase of 2.39% from the December 31, 1998 net asset value per Interest of
$104.22.
First Quarter trading resulted in net profits. Gains were experienced in the
index, financial, currency, energy, grain and soft sectors. Losses were incurred
in the metal and meat sectors.
A smooth transition to a single European currency in January gave currency
markets increasing comfort with the Euro as the trading vehicle of choice
throughout Europe. The U.S. dollar rose against the Euro and other major
currencies as evidence mounted for the continued relative strength of the U.S.
economy and on
7
<PAGE>
safe-haven buying in response to uncertainty caused by NATO military attacks on
Yugoslavia late in the quarter. Long U.S. dollar and U.S. dollar crossrate
positions provided profits.
Energy markets continued to set new highs, propelled by OPEC's announcement
to make substantial cuts in crude oil exports. Short energy positions were
reversed mid quarter, thus Series C capitalized on declining prices in February
and rising prices in March.
In the financial sector, short-term Japanese debt instruments were boosted by
Japan's efforts to lower rates. In the index sector, most European and Asian
stock indices experienced solid gains and followed the Dow Jones Industrial
Average as it rose through the 10,000 level, leading to profits.
Interest income is earned on the average net assets held at PSI and,
therefore, varies monthly according to interest rates, trading performance,
contributions and redemptions. Interest income was approximately $146,000 during
the First Quarter.
Commissions are calculated on Series C's net asset value at the end of each
week and therefore, vary according to weekly trading performance, contributions
and redemptions. Commissions were approximately $233,000 during the First
Quarter.
All trading decisions for Series C are made by Hyman Beck & Company, Inc.
(the 'Trading Advisor'). Management fees are calculated on Series C's net asset
value at the end of each week and therefore, are affected by weekly trading
performance, contributions and redemptions. Management fees were approximately
$60,000 during the First Quarter.
Incentive fees are based on the New High Net Trading Profits generated by the
Trading Advisor, as defined in the Advisory Agreement among Series C, the
Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor. Incentive fees were approximately
$37,000 during the First Quarter.
Year 2000 Risk
A discussion of Year 2000 risk and its effect on the operations of Series C
is included in Series C's Annual Report.
