ITEM II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE MILLBURN WORLD RESOURCE TRUST
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Trust's financial
condition at September 30, 2000 (unaudited) and December 31, 1999 and the
results of its operations for the three month and nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements present the results
of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in
annual financial statements. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Management discussion and analysis of the financial statements for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
30-Sep-00 31-Dec-99
------------- -------------
<S> <C> <C>
Ending Equity $ 28,877,816 $ 50,484,616
</TABLE>
The Trust's net assets decreased 42.80% in the first three quarters of 2000.
The Trust registered a loss during the three months ended September 30, 2000.
While there were fractional gains from trading stock index futures, these
were more than offset by losses from trading most other components of the
portfolio - interest rates, currencies, metals, and agricultural commodities.
Energy trading had no appreciable impact for the quarter.
Long positions in U.S. interest rate futures - across the entire maturity
spectrum - were profitable during the summer quarter. Unfortunately,
European and Japanese interest rate markets remained unsettled, producing
trading losses that more than offset these gains. In dollar currency
trading, gains from short positions in the Euro, Thai baht, Singapore
dollar and Swiss franc were countered by losses from trading the yen,
Canadian dollar and Korean won. Cross rate trading and exotic currency
trading were also fractionally unprofitable.
Stock index trading was somewhat profitable because gains from short
Japanese index futures, long S&P futures, and both long and short
positions in Hong Kong stock futures were larger than losses from
trading U.K., German and Australian indices.
Metals trading lost money in the July-September quarter. Metals prices
were quite volatile and losses were incurred on both sides of the market
in trading gold, aluminum and zinc. Meanwhile, a long copper position
was slightly positive.
In the energy markets, the U.S. intervention in September triggered losses
on long positions in crude oil, heating oil, London gasoil and unleaded
gasoline. Meanwhile, long natural gas positions were profitable. For the
quarter, energy trading produced no net gain or loss, as gains from trading
natural gas and London gasoil were offset by crude oil and unleaded gasoline
trading losses.
In the agricultural sector, a long sugar position was profitable, but
failed to counter losses on both sides of the cotton market, and from a
short coffee position.
ITEM III. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES OF MARKET RISK
The Trust's a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive
instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes,
and all or substantially all of the Trust'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
Trust's main line of business.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value
of the Trust's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings
and cash flow. The Trust'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
Trust's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which
it trades.
The Trust 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 future market scenario will
affect performance, and the Trust's past performance is not
necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership
could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However,
the inherent uncertainty of the Trust's speculative trading and
the recurrence in the markets traded by the Trust of market
movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or
non trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the
Trust'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 Trust's losses in any market sector will
be limited to Value at Risk or by the Trust's attempts to manage
its market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership
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 intervals. 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.
<PAGE>
THE TRUST'S TRADING VALUE AT RISK IN DIFFERENT MARKET SECTORS
The following table indicates the average, highest and lowest amounts of
trading Value at Risk associated with the Trust's open positions by market
category for nine months ended September 30, 2000. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, the Trust's average total capitalization was
approximately $38,775,205. As of September 30, 2000, the Trust's total
capitalization was approximately $29.6 million.
As of September 30, 2000
Average Value % of Average Highest Value Lowest Value
Market Sector at Risk Capitalization at Risk at Risk
Interest Rates $ 1.30 3.0% $ 1.80 $ 1.00
Currencies 3.60 8.6% 4.10 3.10
Stock Indices 0.40 1.0% 0.50 0.30
Metals 0.50 1.1% 0.60 0.30
Commodities 0.20 0.5% 0.40 0.10
Energies 0.50 1.1% 0.60 0.40
Total $ 6.50 15.3%
Average, highest and lowest Value at Risk amounts relate to the quarter-end
amounts for each calendar quarter-end during the period ended September 30,
2000. Average Capitalization is the average of the Trust's capitalization
at the end of each calendar quarter through September 30, 2000. Dollar
amounts represent millions of dollars.
