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 June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 (unaudited) and the results
of its operations for the three months ended June 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 six
months ended June 30, 2000:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                          30-Jun-00      31-Dec-99
                        -------------  -------------
        <S>             <C>            <C>
        Ending Equity   $ 33,639,777   $ 50,484,616
</TABLE>


The Trust's net assets decreased 33.37% in the first half of 2000. The fund
suffered sizable losses during the quarter.  Trading in the energy sector
continued to be very profitable as rising prices again generated sizable gains
on long positions throughout the complex.  A long sugar position was also
profitable as prices surged.  Elsewhere, however, the situation was distinctly
different.

Uncertainties about interest rates worldwide unsettled trading
conditions in all financial markets.  Would the Federal Reserve continue to
raise rates to slow the economy, and, if so, what effect would that have on
soaring equity markets?  Would the zero interest rate policy in Japan ever come
to an end, and, if it did, how would the nascent growth rebound in Japan fare?
How long can Japanese long bond interest rates remain low in the face of huge
fiscal deficits?  Will the European Central Bank accelerate its interest rate
increases, and, hence stunt the economic recovery now gathering momentum in
Europe?  In the face of all these questions financial markets displayed erratic
non-directional price swings in broad ranges during the second quarter.
Consequently, losses were registered in all five financial sectors that
are traded in the fund: interest rates, dollar trading, nondollar cross-rates,
exotic currencies, and stock index futures.  Indeed, over 80% of the financial
market traded during the April - June period (37 of 46) were not profitable.

While nontrending price action will always characterize some markets, it is
unusual for such patterns to be so widespread for such an extended period.
While this recent period of poor performance is more severe than normal, we
do not believe it is evidence of a permanent change in market environment.

<PAGE>
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 reasonable 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and the actual trading Value at
Risk as of June 30, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Trust's average total capitalization was approximately $41,829,208.  As of
June 30, 2000, the Trust's total capitalization was approximately $33.6 million.
