THE MILLBURN WORLD RESOURCE TRUST NOTES TO FORM 10-Q FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the
disclosures contained in the annual financial statements.  These interim
statements have been prepared by management without audit by Independent
Public Accountants.  The consolidated statements of financial condition has
been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 1998.
The consolidated results of operation as displayed, should not be considered
indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.


Management discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                          30-Sep-99      31-Dec-98
                        -------------  -------------
        <S>             <C>            <C>
        Ending Equity   $ 61,596,038   $ 73,820,637
</TABLE>

The Trust's net assets decreased 16.56% in the first three quarters of 1999.
This is the net result of subscriptions, redemptions, and net losses
on trading.

The Trust's NAV rose fractionally during the third quarter as gains from
non-financial markets - energy, metals, and agricultural
commodities-marginally outdistanced losses produced in trading interest
rate, stock index and currency futures and forwards.

Prices of crude oil and products exhibited a strong advance during the
quarter, and long positions in crude oil, heating oil, unleaded gasoline
and London gas oil were profitable.  Natural gas prices, which are not
directly influenced by OPEC policies to restrict production, were volatile
throughout the summer and produced losses on both long and short positions.
Expanding world growth pushed up industrial metals prices and generated
profits on long aluminum zinc and copper positions.  A short gold position
was profitable in July as prices continued their long-term decline, and,
then, after central banks announced they would limit future gold sales, a
long gold position was also profitable when prices rebounded.  Prices of
agricultural goods were volatile over the summer, but a long sugar position
and a short coffee position resulted in a fractional gain for the sector.

Uncertainty concerning Japanese monetary and fiscal policy produced volatile,
non-directional price activity in euro-yen and Japanese government bond
futures.  Similarly, in the United States, market participants grappled
with the implications of continuing strong growth, rising inflation concerns
and incessant threats of official interest rate increases by the Federal
Reserve.  Consequently, short positions in US and Japanese interest rate
futures produced losses in the quarter that were greater than the gains
registered on short positions in European interest rate futures.

Not surprisingly, these interest rate uncertainties also had a negative
impact on foreign exchange rates.  Losses were registered on both long and
short dollar positions versus the euro, Swiss franc, Danish kroner and
Norwegian krona.  These losses outweighed gains from long yen positions
against various currencies and from exotic currency trading.

With such volatility in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, it is
probably not unexpected to note that stock index futures were also erratic
in the July-September quarter.  Hence, losses were registered on both long
and short positions in the Hang Seng and Nikkei indices, and on a long
Topix index position.


The Year 2000 Computer Issue

Many existing computer systems use only two digits to refer to a year.
This technique can cause the systems to treat the year 2000 as 1900, an
effect commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem."  The Trust, like other
financial and business organizations, depends on the smooth functioning of
computer systems and could be adversely affected if the computer systems
on which it relies do not properly process and calculate date-related
information concerning dates on or after January 1, 2000.

The Managing Owner administers the business of the Trust through various
systems and processes maintained by the Managing Owner.  The Managing
Owner's modifications for Year 2000 compliance are substantially complete.
The expenses incurred to date by the Managing Owner in preparing for Year
2000 compliance have not had a material adverse impact on the Managing
Owner's financial position, and any additional expenses that may be
incurred in connection with Year 2000 related matters are not
expected to have a material adverse impact on the Managing Owner's
financial position.  The Trust itself has no systems or information
technology applications relevant to its operations and, thus, has no
expenses related to addressing the Year 2000 Problem.

In addition to the Managing Owner, the Trust is dependent on the capability
of the various exchanges, Clearing Brokers and other third parties with
which the Trust has material relationships to prepare adequately for the
Year 2000 Problem and its impact on their systems and processes.   The
major U.S. futures exchanges participated in the Futures Industry Association
Y2K Beta Test during September 1998 and have participated in the Futures
Industry Association Y2K industry-wide test for Year 2000 compliance during
the first and second quarters of 1999.  The Futures Industry Association
Y2K Tests are to test links with outside entities. The Clearing Brokers
are addressing their Year 2000 issues and have participated in the Futures
Industry Association Y2K industry-wide test for Year 2000 compliance during
the first and second quarters of 1999.  The Managing Owner believes that
those tests have been successful. The Managing Owner has implemented
procedures to monitor the progress of the Clearing Brokers, and other
third parties with which the Trust has a material relationship in
addressing their Year 2000 issues.

The most likely and most significant risk to the Trust associated with the
lack of Year 2000 readiness is the failure of third parties, including the
Clearing Brokers, exchanges, foreign exchange counterparties and various
regulators to resolve their Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.  This
risk could involve the temporary inability to transfer funds electronically
or to determine the Net Asset Value of the Trust, in which case sales could
be suspended and/or redemption payments delayed until the Trust's assets
could be valued and/or funds could be transferred.  If the Managing Owner
believes, prior to December 31, 1999, that any third party has failed to
resolve a Year 2000 issue likely to have a material adverse impact on the
Trust, the Managing Owner will attempt to close any Trust positions carried
by such third party or exposed to such third party's failure to resolve its
Year 2000 issue and to cease trading with or through such third party until
such issue is resolved.
