NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

 

  A. General Description of the Trust

 

The statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2005, the statements of operations for the periods June 25, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (“Third Quarter 2005”), June 26, 2004 to September 24, 2004 (“Third Quarter 2004”), January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (“Year-To-Date 2005”), and January 1, 2004 to September 24, 2004, (“Year-To-Date 2004”), and the statements of changes in trust capital for the periods January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 and January 1, 2004 to September 24, 2004, are unaudited. In the opinion of 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 September 30, 2005 and the results of its operations for the Third Quarter 2005, Third Quarter 2004, Year-To-Date 2005 and Year-To-Date 2004. However, the operating results for these 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, 2004.

 

World Monitor Trust (the “Trust”) – Series A is a business trust organized under the laws of Delaware on December 17, 1997. The Trust commenced trading operations on June 10, 1998 and will terminate on December 31, 2047 unless terminated sooner as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement. The Trust consists of three separate and distinct series (“Series”): Series A, B and C. The assets of each Series are segregated from those of the other Series, separately valued and independently managed. Each Series was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forward and options contracts and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. The trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust Company.

 

On July 1, 2003, Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) and Wachovia Corp. (“Wachovia”) combined their separate retail securities brokerage and clearing businesses under a new holding company named Wachovia/Prudential Financial Advisors, LLC (“WPFA”), owned 62% by Wachovia and 38% by Prudential. As a result, the retail brokerage operations of Prudential Securities Incorporated (“PSI”) were contributed to Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia Securities”). Wachovia Securities is wholly-owned by WPFA and is a registered broker-dealer and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) and all major securities exchanges. Series A and its Managing Owner, Prudential Securities Futures Management, Inc., which was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PSI, entered into a service agreement with Wachovia Securities, effective July 1, 2003. Pursuant to this agreement, Wachovia Securities agreed to provide certain enumerated services to accounts of the limited interest owners carried at Wachovia.

 

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

WORLD MONITOR TRUST – SERIES A

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

 

  A. General Description of the Trust (continued)

 

Effective July 1, 2003, PSI changed its name to Prudential Equity Group, Inc. (“PEG”). PEG remained an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential. PEG was a registered broker-dealer and a member of the NASD and all major securities exchanges and conducted the equity research, domestic and international equity sales and trading operations, and commodity brokerage and derivative operations it had previously conducted as PSI until December 31, 2003. As part of the process of reorganizing its business structure, Prudential Securities Group Inc. (“PSG”), the direct parent of PEG and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, transferred the commodity brokerage, commodity clearing and derivative operations previously performed by PEG to another PSG indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Prudential Financial Derivatives, LLC (“PFD”) effective January 1, 2004. Like PEG, PFD is registered as a futures commission merchant under the Commodity Exchange Act and is a member of the National Futures Association. On April 1, 2004, PEG transferred the ownership of the Managing Owner and PFD Holdings, LLC, the direct parent of PFD to PSG.

 

On June 30, 2004, PSG and Preferred Investment Solutions Corp., formerly Kenmar Advisory Corp. (“Preferred”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which PSG would sell, and Preferred would buy, all of the capital stock of Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. (the then current Managing Owner of Series A) and another commodity pool operator owned by PSG. In connection with the transaction, Prudential Securities Futures Management, Inc. solicited proxies seeking approval from the Series A interest holders for (i) the sale of the stock of Prudential Securities Futures Management, Inc. to Preferred; (ii) the concomitant approval of Preferred as the new Managing Owner of Series A; and (iii) the concomitant approval of certain amendments to the Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Trust. A Report on Form 8-K describing the transaction was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2004 and the definitive proxies were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2004.

 

As of October 1, 2004, Preferred acquired from PSG all of the outstanding stock of Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. Immediately after such acquisition, Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. was merged with and into Preferred. Accordingly, as of October 1, 2004 all of the board of directors and officers of Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. resigned. Following Preferred’s acquisition of Prudential Securities Futures Management, Inc. and its merger with and into Preferred, Preferred became the successor Managing Owner of Series A.

 

The term Managing Owner, as used herein, refers either to Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. or Preferred, depending upon the applicable period discussed.

 

Effective December 6, 2004, Series A contributed its net assets to WMT Campbell Pool L.L.C. (the “Company”) and received a Voting Membership Interest in the Company. The Company was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle. The sole members of the Company are Series A and World Monitor Trust II – Series F (“Series F”). Preferred is the Managing Owner of Series F and has been delegated administrative authority over the operations of the Company. The Company engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts. The financial statements of the Company, including the condensed schedule of investments, are included in Section II of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Series A’s financial statements.

Note 2. RELATED PARTIES

 

The Managing Owner or third parties engaged by the Managing Owner 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, PEG, or its affiliates, or Preferred pay all the costs of these services in addition to Series A’s routine operational, administrative, legal and auditing costs. Additionally, PEG or its affiliates paid the costs associated with offering Series A’s Interests.

 

The costs charged to Series A for brokerage services for the Third Quarter 2005, Third Quarter 2004, Year-To-Date 2005 and Year-To-Date 2004 were $46,280, $50,823, $142,910 and $241,200, respectively.

 

All of the proceeds of the offering of Series A were received in the name of Series A and were deposited in trading or cash accounts at PEG. Effective January 1, 2004, Series A’s assets are maintained with PFD and PFD 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 its broker. The broker 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. Prior to December 6, 2004 all over-the-counter currency transactions were conducted between Series A and its broker pursuant to a line of credit.

 

Note 3. INVESTMENT IN WMT CAMPBELL POOL L.L.C.

 

Effective December 6, 2004, Series A invested a substantial portion of its assets in WMT Campbell Pool L.L.C. (the “Company”). Series A’s investment in the Company represents approximately 6% of the net asset value of the Company at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The investment in the Company is subject to the Organization Agreement of the Company.

 

Summarized information for this investment is as follows:

Note 4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

 

Series A is exposed to various types of risks associated with the derivative instruments and related markets through its investment in the Company. 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 the Company’s investment activities (credit risk).

 

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 the Company’s net assets being traded, significantly exceeds the Company’s future cash requirements since the Company intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, the Company is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, the Company considers the “fair value” of its derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the Company’s commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contract held. However, when the Company 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 the Company 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 effect among the derivative instruments the Company holds and the liquidity and inherent volatility of the markets in which the Company trades.

 

Credit Risk

 

When entering into futures or forward contracts, the Company 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, there is a concentration risk on forward transactions entered into by the Company as the Company’s commodity broker is the sole counterparty. The Company has entered into a master netting agreement with its broker 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 the Company’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of the Company’s contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of the Company’s contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Company.

Note 4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

 

The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring the Trading Advisor of the Company 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 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 the Company, Preferred and the Trading Advisor, Preferred shall automatically terminate the Company’s trading agreement if the net asset value allocated to the trading advisor declines by 40% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the effective date of the advisory agreement (i.e. December 2004). Furthermore, the Third 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.

 

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 its other assets. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, such segregated assets totaled $0 and $98, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires Series A’s futures commission merchant to secure assets of Series A related to foreign futures trading which totaled $12,437 and $15,968 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

 

  A. General Description of the Company

 

WMT Campbell Pool L.L.C. (the “Company”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware on November 3, 2004 and commenced trading operations on December 6, 2004. The Company was formed to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward currency contracts and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. The Company currently consists of two members: World Monitor Trust – Series A (“Member A”) and World Monitor Trust II – Series F (“Member F”) (collectively, the “Members”). Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (“Preferred”) is the Managing Owner of each of the Members. Upon making the initial capital contribution, each Member received Voting Membership Interests.

 

The Company is a Member managed limited liability company that is not registered in any capacity with, or subject directly to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

  B. The Trading Advisor

 

The Company entered into an advisory agreement with Campbell & Company, Inc. (the “Trading Advisor”) to make the trading decisions for the Company. The Trading Advisor manages approximately 100% of the assets of the Company pursuant to its Financial, Metal & Energy Large Portfolio.

 

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  A. Basis of Accounting

 

The statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2005, the statements of operations for the periods June 25, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (“Third Quarter 2005”) and January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (“Year-To-Date 2005”), and the statement of changes in members’ capital for the period January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 2005, and the results of operations for the periods June 25, 2005 to September 30, 2005 and January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005.

 

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  A. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

 

Commodity futures and forward transactions are reflected in the accompanying statement of financial condition on the trade date. Net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) is reflected in the financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39 – “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts.” The market value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based upon the closing quotation on the various futures exchanges on which the contract is traded. The fair value of forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss during the current period is reported in the statement of operations. Realized gains and losses on commodity futures and forward transactions are recognized in the period in which the contracts are closed.

 

Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged to expense when contracts are opened.

 

The Company has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows – Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale.”

 

Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, the Company has provided general indemnifications to its Trading Advisor and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Company. The Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

  B. Income Taxes

 

The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the Members. The Company may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

 

  C. Capital Accounts

 

The Company accounts for subscriptions, allocations and redemptions on a per member capital account basis.

 

The Company allocates profits and losses, prior to calculation of the incentive fee, for both financial and tax reporting purposes to its Members weekly on a pro rata basis based on each Member’s pro rata capital in the Company during the week. Each Member is then charged with the applicable incentive fee. Distributions (other than redemptions of capital) may be made at the sole discretion of the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Members’ respective capital balances. The Company does not presently intend to make any distributions.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

  D. Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently.

 

Note 3. FEES

 

  A. Organizational, General and Administrative Costs

 

Preferred has paid the costs associated with organizing the Company. Under the WMT Campbell Pool L.L.C. Organization Agreement, Preferred may allocate administrative costs of the Company to the Members. Administrative costs include legal, audit, postage and other routine third party administrative costs.

 

  B. Management and Incentive Fees

 

The Company pays the Trading Advisor a management fee at an annual rate of 2% of the Company’s net assets determined as of the close of business each Friday. The sum of the amounts determined each Friday will be paid monthly. For purposes of determining the management fee, any distributions, redemptions or reallocation of assets made as of the last Friday of each week shall be added back to the assets and there shall be no reduction for (i) the weekly management fees calculated or (ii) any accrued but unpaid incentive fees due the Trading Advisor.

 

Additionally, the Company pays the Trading Advisor an incentive fee of 22% (the “Incentive Fee”) of “New High Net Trading Profits” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) of each Member’s account. The incentive fee will accrue weekly and be paid quarterly. An incentive fee of $21,570 with respect to Member A was earned by the Trading Advisor; during the period January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005. No incentive fee was earned by the Trading Advisor with respect to Member F during the period January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005.

 

The incentive fee is an expense of the individual Member and, as such, is not included in the Company’s statement of operations, but is included in the individual Members’ financial statements.

 

Note 4. INCOME TAXES

 

There have been no differences between the tax basis and book basis of Members’ capital since inception of the Company.

 

Note 5. DEPOSITS WITH COMMODITY BROKER

 

The Company deposits funds with a commodity broker subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and commodity broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such commodity broker. The Company earns interest income on assets deposited with the commodity broker.

Note 6. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

 

Investments in the Company are made subject to the terms of the Organization Agreement.

 

The Company is not required to make distributions, but could do so at the discretion of the Members. A Member can request and receive redemption of capital, subject to the terms in the Organization Agreement.

 

Note 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

 

The Company 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 the Company’s investment activities (credit risk).

 

  A. 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 the Company’s net assets being traded, significantly exceeds the Company’s future cash requirements since the Company intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, the Company is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, the Company considers the “fair value” of its derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the Company’s commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contract held. However, when the Company 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 the Company 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 effect among the derivative instruments the Company holds and the liquidity and inherent volatility of the markets in which the Company trades.

Note 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

 

  B. Credit Risk

 

When entering into futures or forward contracts, the Company 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, a clearinghouse is backed by its 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, there is concentration risk on forward transactions entered into by the Company, as the Company’s forward broker is the sole counterparty. The Company has entered into a master netting agreement with its forward broker 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 the Company’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statement of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of the Company’s contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of the Company’s contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Company.

 

The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring the Company and its Trading Advisor to abide by various trading limitations and policies. Preferred 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 the Company, Preferred and the Trading Advisor, the Company shall automatically terminate the Trading Agreement, if the net asset value allocated to the Trading Advisor declines by 40% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the effective date of the Advisory Agreement. The decline in net asset value is after giving effect for distributions, subscriptions and redemptions.

 

The Company’s commodity broker, 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 the Company all assets of the Company relating to domestic futures trading and is not allowed to commingle such assets with its other assets. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, such segregated assets totaled $3,869,906 and $5,765,078, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires the Company’s futures commission merchant to secure assets of the Company related to foreign futures trading which totaled $35,165,910 and $36,414,123 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

 

As of September 30, 2005, all open futures contracts mature within 9 months.

WORLD MONITOR TRUST – SERIES A

(a Delaware Business Trust)

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Report includes forward-looking statements that reflect the Managing Owner’s current expectations about the future results, performance, prospects and opportunities of the Trust. The Managing Owner has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “estimate” or the negative of those terms or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Managing Owner and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, both known, such as those described in this Report, and unknown, that could cause the Trust’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.

 

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the Federal securities laws, the Managing Owner undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risks, uncertainties or other factors described in this Report, as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for any other reason after the date of this Report.

 

Effective December 6, 2004, Series A contributed its net assets to WMT Campbell Pool L.L.C. (the “Company”) and received a Voting Membership Interest in the Company. The Company was formed to function as an aggregate trading vehicle. The sole members of the Company are Series A and World Monitor Trust II – Series F (“Series F”). Preferred is the Managing Owner of Series F and has been delegated administrative authority over the operations of the Company. The Company engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts. The following discussion and analysis refers to Series A’s activities both directly and through its investment in the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. Series A’s application of these policies involves judgments and actual results may differ from the estimates used.

 

The Managing Owner has evaluated the nature and types of estimates that it makes in preparing Series A’s financial statements and related disclosures and has determined that the valuation of its investments which are not traded on a United States or Internationally recognized futures exchange involves a critical accounting policy. The market values of futures (exchange traded) contracts is verified by the administrator who obtains valuation data from third party data providers such as Bloomberg and Reuters and compares those prices with Series A’s broker. The market value of currency swap and forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3 PM on the last business day of the reporting period. All values assigned by the administrator and confirmed by the Managing Owner are final and conclusive as to all Interest holders.

 

As such, if actual results vary from estimates used, they are anticipated to not have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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. Series C was liquidated effective September 20, 2004. 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 Third Quarter 2005, Year-To-Date 2005, and for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2005 were $262,823, $808,261 and $25,635,749, respectively. Redemptions of general interests during, Third Quarter 2005, Year-To-Date 2005, and for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2005 were $8,488 $8,488 and $254,830, respectively. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

 

At September 30, 2005, 100% of Series A’s net assets were allocated to commodities trading. 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. PFD 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, some 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 relationships 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 4 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.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

As of September 30, 2005, Series A has not utilized special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers, such as our accountants, undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of Series A. While Series A’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on Series A’s financial position.

 

Series A’s contractual obligations are with the Managing Owner, the Trading Advisor and its commodity broker. Payments made under the Series A’s agreement with the Trading Advisor are at a fixed rate, calculated as a percentage of the Series A’s “New High Net Trading Profits”. In addition, management fee payments made to the Trading Advisor and fees paid to the Managing Owner are calculated as a fixed percentage of Series A’s Net Asset Values. As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these agreements for future periods as Net Asset Values are not known until a future date. Commission payments to the commodity broker are based on cost per executed trade and, as such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under the brokerage agreement for future periods as the level of executed trades are not known until a future date. These agreements are effective for one-year terms, renewable automatically for additional one-year terms unless terminated. Additionally, these agreements may be terminated by either party for various reason. For a further discussion on these payments, see Notes 1 & 3 of Series A’s 2004 Annual Report.

 

Results of Operations

 

The net asset value per interest as of September 30, 2005 was $84.88, an increase of 4.6% from the December 31, 2004 net asset value per interest of $81.14 and a decrease of 2.2% from the June 24, 2005 net asset value per interest of $86.82. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

 

Series A had trading losses of $15,000 and trading gains of $268,000 during Third Quarter 2005 and Year-To-Date 2005, respectively, compared to losses of $574,000 and $1,497,000 during Third Quarter 2004 and Year-To-Date 2004, respectively. Due to the nature of Series A’s trading activities, a period to period comparison of its trading results is not meaningful. However, a detailed discussion of Series A’s Third Quarter 2005 trading results is presented below.

 

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

As a result, any recent increases in realized or unrealized trading gains

may have no bearing on any results that may be obtained in the future.

 

Quarterly Market Overview

 

The U.S. economy had a reasonably positive third quarter, despite higher petroleum and natural gas prices and two major hurricanes at quarter’s end that caused significant damage in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. A strong U.S. dollar was an evident factor throughout the third quarter. The final report on the second quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), released at the end of September, showed the U.S. economy growing at a 3.3% annual rate. Consumer spending and a large trade deficit were major contributors to the final second quarter number. For the third quarter, the forecasts are mostly running around an annual rate of 3.5%, notwithstanding $3 per gallon gasoline and rising natural gas prices that are expected to cause higher home heating bills.


The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) increased its emphasis on inflation throughout the third quarter, as evidenced not only by the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) minutes, but also by speeches from Chairman Greenspan and a number of Fed members. The FOMC continued to raise rates during the third quarter, ignoring pleas from politicians and economists to pause after the hurricanes. In addition, the statement from the September 20 meeting made it appear that the FOMC may continue raising rates. Treasury yields have been slow to reflect this but the 10-year note ended the third quarter at 4.25%, up from 3.94% at June 30. The yield curve has been flattening almost all year and the spread between the 2 and 10-year notes was 14 to 15 points at the end of September, slightly above the 4 year low of 12 points.

 

Third quarter economic data included steady housing numbers and decent employment figures. However, consumer confidence was clearly shaken by gas prices and the hurricanes. In particular, the September University of Michigan Sentiment Index disappointed economists with a decline to 76.9 from 89.1 in August and 96.7 in July. Among other reports, personal income and spending ended the quarter on a weak note and the nation’s savings rate fell to a record low of minus 0.7%.

 

The major European and Asian economies were reasonably strong this quarter, despite high energy prices. In Europe, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) left rates unchanged during the quarter, extending the existing 2% rate. While there was periodic speculation that it was leaning toward higher rates, and ECB President Claude Trichet stepped up his inflation rhetoric, the ECB continues to maintain the same rate that has existed since November 2003 with little prospect of any change this year. While the Bank of England lowered its base rate by 25 points at its August 4 meeting, that is considered a one-time event as recent U.K. data does not indicate any additional moves in the near future.

 

A significant event in Europe during the third quarter was the German elections, which ended in a virtual tie between Gerhard Schroeder and Angela Merkel. This created a great deal of uncertainty and lessened prospects of any imminent economic reform. At the end of September, the situation was still unresolved but appeared to be moving toward a coalition solution, a result that may limit reform potential.

 

In the third quarter, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) increased its GDP forecasts for France and Italy but lowered them for Germany and the U.K. France was increased to 1.6% from 1.4% and Italy was increased to a positive 0.2% from a negative 0.6%. Germany was downgraded to 1.0% from 1.2% and the U.K. was decreased to 1.9% from 2.4%. The August unemployment rate for Germany was unchanged at 11.6% while France’s unemployment rate edged below 10% for the first time in 2 years.

 

In Asia, the reelection of reform-minded Prime Minister Koizumi was received favorably, leading to a rally in the Nikkei to 13,678, a level not seen since May 2001. Japan’s economic data also pointed to growth, including strong consumer sector numbers. Despite a period of increasing oil prices, August industrial production grew at a 1.2% pace, extending the recent positive trend. The OECD raised its 2005 GDP projection for Japan to 1.8% from 1.5%. Meanwhile, China, Korea and India continue to see strong economic expansion while inflationary pressures appear to be under reasonable control.

 

Currencies: The U.S. dollar had a strong September and a solid third quarter against the euro, Japanese yen and British pound. In late September, the People’s Republic of China central bank widened the yuan’s trading band against the Japanese yen, euro and Hong Kong dollar to 3.0% from 1.5%. The U.S. dollar remained at 0.3%. China described the move as necessary to curb speculation that could be harmful to the yuan.

 

The Bank of Canada raised its overnight interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% on September 7. The accompanying statement was unclear as to whether further rate hikes were likely. The Canadian dollar ended September at 86.03 cents to the U.S. dollar compared to 83.66 cents to the U.S. dollar at the end of the second quarter. In other currencies, the Australian dollar ended the quarter at 76.27 cents to the U.S. dollar and the South African rand was at 6.37 rand to the U.S. dollar.

 

Energies: Natural gas prices hit record highs in September increasing 80% for the quarter. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were the primary reasons for the increase. Repairing the vast damage to natural gas facilities in the Gulf (including rigs, pipelines and processing facilities) is taking far longer than expected. It is expected that it will be weeks before facilities are near normal and months before they are fully operational.

 

As to the petroleum sector, the third quarter also saw higher prices, albeit less than natural gas. Crude rose 13%, heating oil increased 23% and unleaded petroleum rose 44% in the third quarter. At the end of the quarter, the U.S. Minerals Management Service estimated that 97.8% of daily oil production in the Gulf was still offline. As with natural gas, repairs are taking considerably longer than originally anticipated. President Bush announced two releases from the strategic petroleum reserve and OPEC increased quotas by 500,000 barrels; however, given refinery capacity problems, these actions had minimal impact.

 

Indices: The Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”), the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 indices each ended September higher, notwithstanding two major hurricanes and sharply higher gasoline and natural gas prices. For the DJIA, it was its first September gain in seven years.

 

Foreign markets outperformed the U.S. in almost all cases. The Nikkei ended the quarter at 13,678, a level not seen since May 2001, despite a period of higher oil prices. Stocks may have also benefited from a weaker yen, which encourages exports.


Other regional markets ended the quarter higher. Korea’s Kospi, which is attracting global investor attention, rose to record levels. Natural resource equities helped the Australian All Ordinary Index.

 

European markets were strong throughout September in part because of a number of announced merger and acquisition deals, and the U.S. dollar rally. Technology, energy and mining issues were leading performers. European companies have been able to increase profits despite lackluster, albeit slightly improved, economic growth, high oil prices and concerns surrounding the U.S. economy.

 

Interest Rates: In the third quarter, U.S. Treasuries turned in their weakest quarter since the second quarter of 2004. The pattern of a flattening yield curve, prevalent for most of the quarter, was extended in September as the spread between the 10-year note and the 2-year narrowed to 14 points, just off the 4 year low of 12 basis points. Many fixed income experts view an inverted curve as inevitable. The Fed continued to raise rates, and numerous speeches from various Fed governors made it clear that the FOMC was not finished.

 

In Europe, the ECB held rates at 2.0%, a level that has stayed constant since November 2003. After cutting rates 25 basis points at its August 4 meeting, the Bank of England took no action in September, and recent economic data seems to indicate no further change this year. While the Bank of Canada followed the U.S. by raising rates 25 basis points, the Reserve Bank of Australia made no move. U.S. securities continue to benefit from a distinct yield advantage over most of their major competitors, including 115 basis points over the German Bund, the highest in 5 years. Foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries remains strong among central banks and private investors in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

 

Metals: The third quarter, but especially September, was strong for precious metals, particularly gold. The gold rally occurred during a period of significant U.S. dollar strength. Increasing oil prices aroused inflation concerns and gold prices indicate growing underlying inflation pressures, similar to concerns expressed by the FOMC. The September hurricanes and their potential inflationary implications and ongoing concerns regarding the Middle East added to gold’s performance.

 

Copper turned in a strong third quarter as well and is now up 33.6% year-to-date thru September 30 within the Dow Jones AIG Index. Aluminum followed the lead of copper at times, albeit in a far less buoyant pattern, although it weakened somewhat toward the end of the quarter. Nickel saw rising warehouse stocks as it lost 9.1% in September and 6.02% for the third quarter. Zinc was 13.46% higher in the third quarter.

 

Quarterly Trust Performance

 

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

 

Currencies (-): Escalating energy prices, strong demand for U.S. securities and concerns over a general slowing of the global economy affected the currency markets during the quarter. Losses were generated from both long and short positions in the British pound and Swiss franc as well as short positions in the Canadian dollar.

 

Energies (+): Concerns over refining capacity as well as the lack of supply for increasing global demand were elevated to new heights in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Record highs were experienced in both crude oil and natural gas during the quarter. Gains were achieved on long positions across the entire sector.

 

Indices (+): The major equity indices in Western Europe, Japan and Australia were strong throughout the quarter. The Trust’s largest gains were achieved through long positions in the Nikkei, DAX, and Dow Jones STOXX 50.

 

Interest Rates (-): Short-term volatility increased as global bond markets reacted to news on economic growth and central bank monetary policy activity. The Trust’s losses were attributable to long positions across the German curve at the beginning of the quarter and short positions across the U.S. curve in the middle of the quarter.

 

Metals (+): Base metals contributed to a positive return in this sector for the quarter, with long positions in copper the main contributor.

 

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT. The discussion above contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are based on the beliefs of Series A, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, Series A. A number of important factors should cause Series A’s actual results, performance or achievements for 2005 and beyond to differ materially from the results, performance or achievements expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the factors described above.

 

Interest income is earned on Series A’s average net assets held at the broker and, therefore, varies monthly according to interest rates, trading performance and redemptions. Interest income increased $7,900 and $14,000 during Third Quarter 2005 and Year-To-Date 2005 as compared to Third Quarter 2004 and Year-To-Date 2004 due to higher interest rates during 2005 as compared to 2004 offset in part by a decrease in average net assets.


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 decreased $1,800 and $89,000 during Third Quarter 2005 and Year-To-Date 2005, as compared to Third Quarter 2004 and Year-To-Date 2004, due to the decrease in average net asset levels.

 

All trading decisions for Series A are made by Campbell & Company, Inc. 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 decreased $900 and $23,000 during Third Quarter 2005 and Year-To-Date 2005, as compared to Third Quarter 2004 and Year-To-Date 2004, due to the decrease in average net asset levels.

 

Incentive fees are based on the “New High Net Trading Profits” generated by the Trading Advisor, are accrued weekly and are ultimately determined as of the close of business on the last Friday of each calendar quarter, as defined in the advisory agreement among Series A, the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor. The incentive fee in the amount of ($9,000) for the Year-To-Date 2004 represents the reversal of a December 31, 2003 accrual for the incentive fee measurement period beginning December 27, 2003 (the start of the new quarter for incentive fee purposes) through March 26, 2004 (end of the quarter for incentive fee purposes). Incentive fees of $22,000 were incurred during Year-To-Date 2005.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is not required pursuant to item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Managing Owner carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Managing Owner, including the Managing Owner’s co-chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director of fund administration, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Series A’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, the Managing Owner’s co-chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director of fund administration concluded that Series A’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

In designing and evaluating Series A’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), the Managing Owner recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and the Managing Owner necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide such reasonable assurance.

 

There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
