NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

A. General Description of the Trust

The statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of March 25, 2005, and the statements of operations and changes in trust capital for the periods January 1, 2005 to March 25, 2005 and January 1, 2004 to March 26, 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 B (“Series B”) as of March 25, 2005 and the results of its operations for the periods January 1, 2005 to March 25, 2005 (“First Quarter 2005”), and January 1, 2004 to March 26, 2004 (“First Quarter 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 B’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”) 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 B and its Managing Owner, Prudential Securities Futures Management, Inc., a 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.

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 B) 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 B 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 B; and (iii) the approval of certain amendments to the Declaration of the 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 B.

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

Note 2. RELATED PARTIES

The Managing Owner or third parties engaged by the Managing Owner 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, PEG, or its affiliates, or Preferred pay all the 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 the First Quarter 2005 and First Quarter 2004 were $107,302 and $168,645, respectively.

All 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 PEG. Effective January 1, 2004, Series B’s assets are maintained with PFD and 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 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. All over-the-counter currency transactions are conducted between Series B and its broker pursuant to a line of credit. The broker may require that collateral be posted against the marked-to-market positions of Series B.

Note 3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

Series B 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 Series B’s investment activities (credit risk).

WORLD MONITOR TRUST – SERIES B

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Note 3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

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 contract 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 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 Series B as Series B’s broker is the sole counterparty. Series B 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 Series B’s contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of Series B’s contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance 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.

WORLD MONITOR TRUST – SERIES B

(Unaudited)

Note 3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED)

Credit Risk (Continued)

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 Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement provides that Series B will liquidate its positions, and eventually dissolve, if Series B 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 B.

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 allowed to commingle such assets with its other assets. At March 25, 2005 and December 31, 2004, such segregated assets totaled $721,873 and $1,224,610, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires Series B’s futures commission merchant to secure assets of Series B related to foreign futures trading which totaled $4,932,671 and $5,385,579 at December 31, 2004, respectively. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.

As of March 25, 2005, all of Series B’s open futures and forwards contracts mature within six months.

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 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 B’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 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. Series C was liquidated effective September 20, 2004.

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 First Quarter 2005 and for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to March 25, 2005 were $265,999 and $23,851,427, respectively. Redemptions of general interests for First Quarter 2005 and for the period from June 10, 1998 (commencement of operations) to March 25, 2005 totaled $0 and $225,811, respectively. Future redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contracts in subsequent periods.

At March 25, 2005, 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. The broker credits Series B monthly with 100% of the interest it earns on the average net assets in Series B’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 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 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 3 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 March 25, 2005, Series B had not utilized special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance 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 cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on Series B’s financial position.

Series B’s contractual obligations are with the Managing Owner, the Trading Advisors 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”. 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 B’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 a cost per executed trade and, as such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the amount of such 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 reasons. For a further discussion on these payments, see Notes 1 & 3 of the Series B’s 2004 Annual Report.

The net asset value per Interest as of March 25, 2005 was $96.10, a decrease of 12.98% from the December 31, 2004 net asset value per Interest of $110.44. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Series B’s trading losses before commissions were $741,000 during First Quarter 2005, compared to gains of $337,000 for the corresponding period 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 First Quarter 2005 trading results is presented below.

Quarterly Market Overview

The Federal Reserve, and its heightened inflation concerns, was the big story within the US economy during the first quarter. For the seventh consecutive meeting, the FOMC raised rates at its March meeting and Fed Funds futures market suggests that they will increase them 25 basis points at least, at the next three meetings. The “hawkish” language concerning inflation, at their most recent conclave, had some analysts forecasting that they will eliminate the word “measured” from the next communiqué and possibly hike rates by 50 points at one of the next two meetings. However, recent economic data has been less than scintillating and it seems that they will likely continue at their present pace. Bond yields quickly responded and ended the Quarter near 4.50% after being as high as 4.63% after the FOMC statement. The Fed bias clearly shifted to a more vigilant tone and the decision to change the language was unanimous, although it did not indicate 50 point increases were in the cards. In summary, the US economy continues to grow at a fairly brisk pace but there are some warning signs. The impact of surging oil, record gas pump prices and higher interest rates are not yet fully imbedded in the economic data. This already has many economists calling for a slower second quarter.

Recent data suggest some sluggishness in global growth. Europe, which lagged in the fourth quarter of 2004, extended that pattern with the continuing exception of the United Kingdom. The ECB cut its growth outlook for the Eurozone to 1.6% for 2005 from the previous 1.9%. High oil prices were clearly a factor in the reduced growth outlook. Both the ECB and the Bank of England held rates unchanged in the quarter, as well as at their first meeting in April. France and Germany have experienced “double-digit unemployment.” French unemployment reached a 10-year high of 10.0% and Germany saw a postwar high 11.4% rate. Clearly, Europe, excluding the UK, is the weakest of the three major economic zones, falling behind the Americas and Asia.

Japan entered 2005 on an optimistic note but as the first quarter of 2005 developed the data indicated a slower growth pattern. In mid March the Japanese government revised its fourth quarter 2004 growth estimate, to a positive 0.1% from the previous 0.1% contraction, but much of the other data had a negative leaning, particularly late in the quarter. Annualized, Japan grew at a 0.5% rate in 2004. Increased inventories and government spending were featured. Japan’s Unemployment rate rose to 4.7% in February from 4.5% a month earlier which was weaker than expected. Japan’s February Retail Sales fell 2.8% and Personal Spending dropped 4.1%. As the quarter ended, there was something of an “economic cloud” over Japan’s economy, and with oil over $55 per barrel, the outlook seems tenuous, given the nation’s near 100% dependence on imported oil. The latest “Tankan” report, a business sentiment index issued by the BOJ, was a disappointing 14 in the first quarter, down from 22 in the fourth quarter of 2004 and a 13 year high of 26 in the third quarter of 2004.

Currencies: The US dollar halted a long slide in January, then weakened a bit in February but rallied again in March. The specter of higher interest rates in the US, versus indications that the ECB will not raise rates any time soon, helped propel the dollar higher. With almost 100% certainty that the Fed will raise rates at least for the next three FOMC meetings, the greenback has gained favor. There is speculation that the Bank of England will raise rates later in the year, as the UK

economy continues buoyant, but no imminent change is anticipated. Very weak data from Germany and France, particularly on the employment front, worked against the euro, which lost for the month and the quarter. The dollar extended gains against the euro and pound as the second quarter of 2005 began. The yen lost for the quarter and a weak “Tankan” report did not bode well for the second quarter. Overall strength in commodities was supportive of both the Canadian and Australian currencies.

Energies: The energy complex, not surprisingly, led the advance in commodity prices in the first quarter. Products showed particular strength in March as both unleaded and heating oil achieved all time highs. With the exception of a mid March correction, following OPEC’s decision to raise production by 500,000 bpd and speculation that they were prepared to double that if needed, the petroleum complex was constantly on the offensive. Both heating oil and gasoline gained slightly in excess of 15% in March, bringing their respective quarterly appreciation to 41.1% and 34.5%. Winter weather turned cold, with below normal temperatures in key consuming regions during the final third of the season, after having been mild for much of the winter. Despite this, heating oil supplies ended the season at ample levels. Gasoline demand has shown little, if any, indication of slowing, despite record prices in the US at the pump.

Natural gas soared during the quarter and the advance did not appear to be on its own merits but rather more on the heels of the gains in the petroleum complex, although the cold weather in March was supportive. Reports put inventories 222 billion cubic feet above last year and 206 billion ahead of the 5-year average. So it is apparent that inventory levels appear ample supporting the conclusion that speculation has been a primary driver of prices.

Indices: January was a tough month for US equities but February saw solid gains. Unfortunately, the tie-breaker month of March proved to be negative with NASDAQ declining the most. Both the Dow and S&P declined 2.6% in the first quarter.

Foreign markets were somewhat better performers although they tended to weaken as the quarter came to a close. The Nikkei, despite a 0.9% loss in March, saw a 1.6% improvement in the first quarter even with the oil surge and some lackluster economic data. In Europe, London’s FTSE fell 2.1% in March, essentially in line with US markets but decent economic data limited the decline. The German DAX shrugged off a seemingly endless run of negative data and managed to close the first quarter with a gain. France, which saw similarly poor economic numbers, closed out March with gains.

Interest Rates: Treasuries showed a continuing reluctance to move to higher yield levels for much of January and February but finally broke out as March developed. The ongoing Fed policy of raising rates at a 25 basis point clip at each FOMC meeting, and a near certainty that they will increase them at the next few meetings, has finally impacted market psychology. Among foreign nations, the ECB, BOE and Bank of Canada left rates unchanged as did Japan. There was persistent speculation that the Bank of China might hike rates but no action was taken or seems imminent. Foreign participation in US securities remained strong despite various stories and rumors to the contrary, particularly surrounding Japan, Korea, Russia and OPEC.

Metals: Gold suffered losses for the quarter. The market has clearly been hurt by a recovery in the US dollar against the euro and the yen that began in late January. When the dollar weakened toward the end of March, gold prices recovered some of their losses from earlier in the month. The physical market was fairly active and included some seasonal buying from India. Silver put in a very volatile trading performance and was 4.5% higher on the quarter.

The base metal’s complex finished the first quarter with solid gains that included a strong March performance. The sector was able to shrug off higher interest rates, the threat of oil derailing global growth, economic weakness in the Eurozone and misplaced ideas that China’s growth would slow measurably, which would weigh on their demand for base metals and commodities in general. LME inventories remain low for copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel and lead while the demand side of the equation maintains positive momentum. Producers have picked up some of the slack but not enough to thwart the uptrend and base metals have become a favorite of the fund community.

Quarterly Performance of Series B

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

Currencies (–): The trend towards a weaker USD in the fourth quarter of 2004 ended and the currency markets fluctuated significantly in the first quarter. Losses were generated from long positions in the Australian dollar and long and short trading positions in the euro and the Swiss franc.

Energies (–): Though the overall trend for the quarter was towards higher prices in the energy sector, a correction towards the end of March proved costly. Losses were generated from long and short positions in natural gas and long positions in crude.

Indices (–): Stock markets globally were mixed for the quarter, making them difficult to trade. Losses were generated from long positions in the NASDAQ, S&P 500 and Hang Seng.

Interest Rates (–): With the US hiking rates and the rest of the developed world keeping rates stable, the interest rate picture was mixed globally. Losses were generated from long positions in the Australian 3-yr, the US treasury note and the JGB.

Metals (–): While industrial metals continued to rally steadily higher, precious metals, especially gold, corrected in the first quarter. This correction led to losses on long positions in gold.

Trading losses and redemptions during the first quarter of 2005 resulted in lower commission and management fees as compared to the first quarter of 2004. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest income in the first quarter of 2005 versus the same period last year.

Interest income is earned on the average net assets held at Series B’s broker and, therefore, varies weekly according to interest rates, trading performance and redemptions. Interest income increased by $18,000 during First Quarter 2005 as compared to First Quarter 2004 due to the higher overall interest rates during the first quarter of 2005 versus the first quarter of 2004.

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 $61,000 during First Quarter 2005 as compared to First Quarter 2004 due to decreases 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 $16,000 during First Quarter 2005 as compared to First Quarter 2004 due to decreases 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 the First Quarter 2005 or the First Quarter 2004.

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