WORLD MONITOR TRUST—SERIES B

(a Delaware Business Trust)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 24, 2004

(Unaudited)

A. General

These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. (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 B (“Series B”) as of September 24, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations for the periods from January 1, 2004 to September 24, 2004 (“Year-To-Date 2004”), January 1, 2003 to September 26, 2003 (“Year-To-Date 2003”), June 26, 2004 to September 24, 2004 (“Third Quarter 2004”) and June 28, 2003 to September 26, 2003 (“Third Quarter 2003”). However, the operating results for the 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 B’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2003.

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 B and its managing owner, Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc., entered into a service agreement with Wachovia Securities, effective July 1, 2003. Pursuant to this agreement, Wachovia Securities agrees to provide certain enumerated services to accounts of the limited interest owners carried at Wachovia. Effective July 1, 2003, PSI changed its name to Prudential Equity Group, Inc. Effective February 2, 2004, Prudential Equity Group, Inc. was converted to a limited liability company named Prudential Equity Group, LLC (“PEG”). PEG remains 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. 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 PFDS 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 will sell, and Preferred will buy, all of the capital stock of the Managing Owner and another commodity pool operator owned by PSG. In connection with the transaction, the Managing Owner solicited proxies seeking approval from the Series B interestholders for (i) the sale of the stock of the Managing Owner to Preferred; (ii) the concomitant approval of Preferred as the new managing owner of the World Monitor Trust; and (iii) the approval of certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of World Monitor Trust, dated March 17, 1998. 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, see Note E.

The Managing Owner suspended the offering of Interests in Series B and World Monitor Trust—Series C (“Series C”) upon the expiration of selling registrations, which expired by April 30, 2002.

5

B. Related Parties

The Managing Owner of Series B is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSG. The Managing Owner or its affiliates perform services for Series B 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, PFD or its affiliates pay all costs of these services in addition to Series B’s routine operational, administrative, legal and auditing costs. Additionally, PEG or its affiliates paid the costs associated with offering Series B’s Interests.

The costs charged to Series B for brokerage services for Year-To-Date 2004, Year-To-Date 2003, Third Quarter 2004 and Third Quarter 2003 were $459,342, $549,985, $135,899 and $178,821, respectively.

All of the proceeds of the offering of Series B were received in the name of Series B and were deposited in trading or cash accounts at PFD, Series B’s commodity broker. Series B’s assets are maintained with PFD for margin purposes. PFD credits Series B monthly with 100% of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series B’s accounts.

Series B, acting through its trading advisor, may execute over-the-counter, spot, forward and/or option foreign exchange transactions with PFD. PFD 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 PFD and PBGM pursuant to a line of credit. PFD may require that collateral be posted against the marked-to-market positions of Series B.

C. Derivative Instruments and Associated Risks

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

Credit risk

When entering into futures or forward contracts, Series B 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 members who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the nonperformance 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 Series B as PFD, Series B’s commodity broker, is the sole counterparty. Series B has entered into a master netting agreement with PFD

6

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 nonperformance of all of Series B’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition; however, counterparty nonperformance on only certain of Series B’s contracts may result in greater loss than nonperformance on all of Series B’s contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to Series B.

The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring Series B and its 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; 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 Series B, the Managing Owner and the trading advisor, Series B shall automatically terminate the trading advisor if the net asset value allocated to the trading advisor declines by 33 ¹/3% from the value at the beginning of any year or since the commencement of trading activities. Furthermore, the Trust Agreement provides that Series B will liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if Series B experiences a decline in the 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 interests of Series B.

PFD, when acting as Series B’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 B all assets of Series B relating to domestic futures trading and is not permitted to commingle such assets with other assets of PFD. At September 24, 2004 and December 31, 2003, such segregated assets totaled $1,315,749 and $1,228,626, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires PFD to secure assets of Series B related to foreign futures trading which totaled $5,548,422, and $7,868,548 at September 24, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

As of September 24, 2004 all of Series B’s open futures and forward contracts mature within six months.

** Represents interest income less total expenses (exclusive of incentive fees). The Managing Owner believes that the disclosure of the ratio of net investment loss to average net assets as required under the AICPA Audit Guide For Investment Companies is not a meaningful or appropriate measure for Series B as it is not a portfolio designed to return investment income. The Managing Owner believes that the total return ratio is the appropriate ratio as it also considers Series B’s commodity trading gains/losses.

These financial highlights represent the overall results of Series B during Year-To-Date 2004, Year-To-Date 2003, Third Quarter 2004 and Third Quarter 2003. An individual limited owner’s actual results may differ depending on the timing of redemptions.

E. Subsequent Events

The Managing Owner has been the sole managing owner of Series B and pursuant to Series B’s Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement manages Series B. The managing owner holds Series B’s general interests. (The general interests are not a class of equity of Series B that is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.)

As of October 1, 2004, Preferred acquired from PSG all of the outstanding stock of the Managing Owner. Immediately after such acquisition, the Managing Owner 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 the Managing Owner and its merger with and into Preferred, Preferred became the successor managing owner of Series B. A report on Form 8-K describing the acquisition was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2004.

The Managing Owner held interests in other assets and investments besides its interest in Series B. In this transaction, Preferred also acquired all of the outstanding stock of another commodity pool operator owned by PSG.

On October 1, 2004, an agreement was executed between Preferred and PFD which amended and restated the brokerage agreement between Series B and PFD. On such date, Preferred will commence receiving the brokerage commissions which were previously paid to PFD, excluding transaction fees which will be paid to PFD. The agreement incorporates the previous PFD brokerage agreement’s terms, including the total fees paid by Series B. Under the agreement, PFD’s transaction based fee will be paid out of the total fees paid by Series B to Preferred.

WORLD MONITOR TRUST—SERIES B

(a Delaware Business Trust)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 B’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 B’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 values used by Series B for its open forward positions are provided by its commodity broker, PFD, who uses market prices when available, while over-the-counter derivative financial instruments, principally forwards, options and swaps are valued based on the present value of estimated future cash flows that would be received from or paid to a third party in settlement of these derivative contracts prior to their delivery date.

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 B commenced operations on June 10, 1998 with gross proceeds of $5,709,093 allocated to commodities trading. Additional contributions raised through the continuous offering for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2002 resulted in additional gross proceeds to Series B of $24,385,015. The Managing Owner suspended the offering of Interests in Series B and Series C and allowed all selling registrations to expire by April 30, 2002. As such, Interests owned in one series of World Monitor Trust may no longer be exchanged for the Interests of one or more other Series.

Interests in Series B may be redeemed on a weekly basis, but are subject to a redemption fee if transacted within one year of the effective date of purchase. Redemptions of limited interests for Year-To-Date 2004, Third Quarter 2004 and for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to September 24, 2004 were $937,893, $547,377 and $23,367,619, respectively. Redemptions of general interests for Year-To-Date 2004, Third Quarter 2004 and for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to September 24, 2004 totalled $9,501, $5,484 and $222,815, respectively. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

At September 24, 2004, 100% of Series B’s net assets were allocated to commodities trading. A significant portion of the net assets was held in cash which was used as margin for Series B’s trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the sole business of Series B is to trade in commodities, Series B continues to own such liquid assets to be used as margin. PFD credits Series B monthly with 100% of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series B’s accounts.

The commodities contracts may be 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 B from promptly liquidating its commodity futures positions.

Since Series B’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 contracts (credit risk). Series B’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors including the

9

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 B’s speculative trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could result in monthly losses considerably beyond Series B’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 B 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 C to the financial statements for a further discussion on the credit and market risks associated with Series B’s futures and forward contracts.

Series B does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of September 24, 2004, Series B had 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 B. While Series B’s exposure under such indemnification provisions can not be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have material impact on the Series B’s financial position.

Series B’s contractual obligations are with the trading advisor and its commodity broker. Payments made under Series B’s agreement with the trading advisor are at a fixed rate, calculated as a percentage of Series B’s “New High Net Trading Profits”. Management fee payments made to the trading advisor and commission payments to the commodity broker are calculated as a fixed percentage of Series B’s net asset values (“NAV’s”). As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these agreements for future periods as NAV’s 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 reasons. For a further discussion on these payments, see Notes A & C of Series B’s 2003 Annual Report.

Results of Operations

The net asset value per interest as of September 24, 2004 was $111.58, a decrease of 15.81% from the December 31, 2003 net asset value per Interest of $132.54 and a decrease of 3.37% from the June 25, 2004 net asset value per interest of $115.47. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Series B’s trading gains (losses) before commissions were $(917,000) and $(120,000) during Year-To-Date 2004 and Third Quarter 2004, respectively, compared to $1,310,000 and $(115,000) for the corresponding periods in the prior year. Due to the nature of Series B’s trading activities, a period to period comparison of its trading results is not meaningful. However, a detailed discussion of Series B’s Third Quarter 2004 trading results is presented below.

Quarterly Market Overview

U.S. economic activity in the third quarter of 2004 exhibited strength in July followed by slower than expected growth in August and September. While the third quarter has traditionally been weaker than the other quarters in the year, the U.S. economy faced many issues that added to the usual seasonal third quarter slump such as high energy prices, soft domestic and global economies, a weak U.S. job market, growing U.S. current-account and budget deficits, terrorism, as well as the uncertain presidential election outcome and future of Iraq. On the other hand, despite soaring crude oil prices, inflation remained within expectations and the Federal Reserve Board continued its program of gradually raising interest rates. Domestic manufacturing and construction were robust due to a strong housing market in the beginning of the quarter but ended the quarter below estimated projections. In September, housing starts increased to their highest levels in five months despite hurricanes and a declining trend in home sales. September brought more warnings of quarterly corporate earnings disappointments than any other month this year as well as an increase in announcements of layoffs. In July, payrolls exhibited the smallest gain in hiring since December of 2003, rebounded slightly in August and ended lower than expected in September with growth

10

continuing in service sectors and reductions for the first time in three months in the manufacturing sector. Weak labor markets combined with rising grocery and energy bills reduced consumer confidence from a two-year high in July but consumer spending strengthened in the early summer and through the end of September due to incentives and deep discounting from auto manufacturers. Retail sales had a rocky third quarter as consumers spent less for the fourth straight month in September resulting in disappointing back-to-school sales and concerns about a potentially disappointing holiday shopping season. Hurricanes in the Southeast and unusually warm weather in the Midwest also contributed to lackluster sales.

Many central banks around the world raised interest rates during the third quarter. In Europe, worries about high oil prices, weakening global economic growth, loss of corporate investment to more vibrant economies, rising unemployment and the worst service-sector activity in a year and despite rising exports there was a decline in confidence across many economic sectors. Household spending was hampered by low consumer confidence and sluggish employment recovery. In Asia, Japan’s government and central bank released a report in early July stating that the recovery in production and corporate profits was spreading to domestic consumption, an indication of steady economic improvement. However, revised industrial output data and shrinking economic activity raised doubts about the pace of recovery. While August unemployment figures declined, weak consumer spending and wage growth indicated that Japan was still battling a fifth year of deflation. Dependent on imports as a source of oil, the high cost of oil struck Japan particularly hard but the Japanese domestic economy regained some footing towards the end of the quarter. The Chinese government’s credit tightening has been leading to a soft economic landing and a reduction in expansion throughout Asia despite rising prices. Developing Asian countries benefited from stronger trade, domestic consumption and investments. India expanded slower than expected due to the impact of unusual wet weather conditions on farm output as well as a surprise victory by the opposition party in the Indian elections. Indonesia’s economy received a boost when it participated in its first direct presidential election. In the Americas, concerns surrounding the economic outlook and the impact of high oil prices led the Bank of Canada to increase its rates for the first time in 17 months. Brazil’s economy expanded throughout the quarter resulting in an interest rate increase by the Banco Central Do Brazil in September and upgraded credit ratings.

Indices: U.S. equity indices had low volatility and were range bound in a lack-luster third quarter as the three major U.S. equity indices experienced declines for the third quarter. The S&P 500 Index declined by 1.9%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 3.4% and the NASDAQ Composite declined by 7.4%. Contradictory economic figures, weaker than expected earnings reports, and higher energy costs resulted in a drag on performance. European stock indices performed poorly over worries of increasing oil prices, rising unemployment, and projected slowing global economic growth. However, the London FTSE bucked the trend by increasing 2.4%, while the Paris CAC 40 Index was down 2.5%, and the German DAX slid 3.9%. In Asia, Japan’s Tokyo Nikkei Stock Index declined by 8.7% due to doubts about the pace of Japan’s recovery and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index reported an increase of 6.8%.

Interest rates: Economic growth in the United States slowed from earlier expectations resulting in a rally in the bond market in the third quarter of 2004. The rally was in response to the market perception that aggressive tightening of credit by the U.S. Federal Reserve will not be forthcoming, but replaced with the Greenspan gradualism of raising the Fed funds rate. Additionally, inflation fears subsided as inflation numbers had been within expectations and were not overly affected by the oil price shock. The Lehman Aggregate Bond Index returned a positive 3.2% in the third quarter. In Europe, the bund market also rallied in the third quarter due to slowing economic growth expectations resulting in a flight to quality. Similarly, the Japanese Government Bond saw decreasing yields as prices increased resulting from fears of a slowdown in its economic recovery.

Currencies: The U.S. dollar began the 2004 third quarter depreciating against the world’s major currencies, then rallied over a cautious Fed and mixed economic data only to reverse course based on concerns that high oil prices will temper the pace of expansion in the U.S. economy. The currency market continued to be range bound with increasing market gyrations netting high levels of volatility. This has resulted in a difficult trading environment with no long-term trends developing. The euro gained ground on the U.S. dollar as a weak U.S. job market and a slowing of the U.S. economy as indicated from decreasing consumer confidence. Weak economic numbers also helped to push the Japanese yen higher versus the U.S. dollar.

11

Energies: Demand for energy remained strong throughout the third quarter and supply level fears and geopolitical risk premiums have sustained oil prices above the prescribed price range for crude oil by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The 2004 third quarter started with increasing crude oil prices from high disruption fears in many key oil-producing regions like Iraq, Russia, Nigeria, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia. As the quarter progressed, oil prices decreased only to see a reversal that sent prices to new highs of over $50 per barrel by the end of the quarter. The increase in prices were also due to disruptions in oil refineries as Hurricanes Jeanne, Ivan, Charley, and Frances stormed through the Southeastern region of the U.S. leading to decreased inventory levels.

Metals: Gold and silver prices were higher in the third quarter given geopolitical concerns and speculation that the U.S. Dollar will continue to decline against the euro, and rising energy costs will slow U.S. economic growth. Gold and silver’s rally paralleled that of crude oil because higher oil prices depressed economic growth in the U.S. which led to the depreciation the U.S. dollar. Additionally, investors that held U.S. dollars purchased gold as protection against further loss because gold is priced in U.S. dollars and it holds value better than the depreciating U.S. dollar. In the base metals, prices were mixed because of short-term supply constraints but rallied at the end of the quarter.

Grains: The grain market continued to march lower in response to expectations that harvests will be very strong. Favorable weather conditions in the quarter were conducive for a very good growing season in the U.S. This has given rise to estimates that soybean production could reach record levels. The weakened soy market has pushed prices of soy products lower. Corn yield is also projected higher, thereby, pushing prices lower.

Softs: Cotton prices rallied during August in response to worries of lower yields from unfavorably wet growing conditions caused by Hurricane Charley but ultimately ended the quarter lower. Further price advances came on the prospects of more disruptions in cotton supplies due to Hurricane Frances. Damage to the orange crop in Florida from Hurricanes Charley and Frances also led to rising prices for orange juice futures. Sugar prices climbed higher on news of lower inventory supply of sugar in Brazil.

Quarterly Performance of Series B

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

Indices (–): Fears of a slow down in economic growth resulted in many indices losing ground throughout the quarter. Long positions in the mini-NASDAQ, the German DAX Index, and the Japanese Nikkei Index resulted in a net loss.

Currencies (–): The U.S. dollar was range bound in the third quarter of 2004 against many foreign currencies. Long U.S. dollar contracts against the euro and the Swiss franc resulted in a net loss.

Metals (–): The prices of base metals were mixed because of short-term supply constraints but rallied at the end of the quarter. Gold prices rose on fears of a slowdown in economic growth. Short positions in aluminum and gold resulted in a net loss.

Interest Rates (+): Economic growth in the United States slowed from earlier expectations resulting in a rally in the bond market in the third quarter of 2004. Long positions in the Japanese Government Bond, the Euro Bund, and the U.S. 10-year Note resulted in gains.

Energies (+): Supply level fears and geopolitical risk helped push energy prices to record levels, with the price of crude oil pushing pass $50/barrel. Long positions in light crude and crude oil resulted in gains.

Decreases in interest income, commissions and management fees during Year-To-Date 2004 as compared to Year-To-Date 2003, and Third Quarter 2004 as compared to Third Quarter 2003 are primarily due to the effect of unfavorable trading performance in 2004 and redemptions on Series B’s weekly net asset values.

Interest income is earned on the average net assets held at PFD and, therefore, varies weekly according to interest rates, trading performance and redemptions. Interest income decreased by approximately $17,000 during Year-To-Date 2004 as compared to Year-To-Date 2003 and increased $2,700 during Third Quarter 2004 as compared to Third Quarter 2003, due to the decrease in average net asset levels discussed above and the increase in overall interest rates during Third Quarter 2004.

12

Commissions are calculated on Series B’s net asset value at the end of each week and, therefore, vary according to weekly trading performance and redemptions. Commissions decreased by approximately $91,000 and $43,000 during Year-To-Date 2004 and Third Quarter 2004 as compared to Year-To-Date 2003 and Third Quarter 2003, respectively, due to the decrease in average net asset levels as discussed above.

All trading decisions for Series B are made by Eclipse Capital Management, Inc. (the “Trading Advisor”). Management fees are calculated on Series B’s net asset value at the end of each week and, therefore, are affected by weekly trading performance and redemptions. Management fees decreased by $23,000 and $11,000 during Year-To-Date 2004 and Third Quarter 2004 as compared to Year-To-Date 2003 and Third Quarter 2003, respectively, due to the decrease in average net asset levels as discussed above.

Incentive fees are based on the “New High Net Trading Profits” generated by the Trading Advisor, as defined in the advisory agreement among Series B, the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor. Series B did not incur an incentive fee during Year-To-Date 2004 and the Third Quarter 2004. Incentive fees incurred during Year-To-Date 2003 were $519.

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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Series B’s disclosure controls and procedures.
