INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of Trans-Resources, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Eddy Potash, Inc. (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Trans-Resources, Inc.) (the "Company") as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations and retained earnings
and of cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Eddy Potash, Inc. as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

    Eddy Potash, Inc. (the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of
    Trans-Resources, Inc. ("TRI") and was organized on March 17, 1988 under the
    laws of the State of Delaware for the mining, refining and marketing of
    potash and its related products.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The preparation of financial statements in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
    management to make 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 those estimates.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the Company's
    finished product.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statements of cash flows,
    the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
    maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost
    is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment is stated at
    cost.  Depreciation is determined principally using the straight-line
    method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.  Effective
    January 1, 1995, in order to give effect to the Company's estimate of the
    life of the mine and to more closely approximate the economic lives of such
    assets, the Company adjusted the remaining depreciable lives of all fixed
    assets from three years to ten years.  The effect of this change in
    estimate was to decrease depreciation expense in 1995 by $2,834,000.

    Depletion of mineral reserves is determined using the unit-of-production
    method based on estimated proved developed mineral reserves.

    Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations as
    incurred.  Major renewals and betterments are capitalized.





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
    INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions
    of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.  Under SFAS No.
    109, the amounts provided for income taxes are based on the amounts of
    current and deferred taxes payable or refundable at the date of the
    financial statements as a result of all events recognized in the financial
    statements as measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws.  Deferred tax
    charges on the balance sheets primarily result from excess cumulative book
    depreciation over tax depreciation and accrued expenses not deductible for
    tax purposes.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
    conform to the manner of presentation in the current year.

3.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

    Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

</TABLE>

    The Company leases mineral rights from the Federal government, the State of
    New Mexico and various private enterprises for a nominal fixed amount plus
    contingent rentals based upon potash sales from the various leases.  The
    Company expensed approximately $181,000 and $860,000 related to these
    mineral leases during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    respectively.  As of December 31, 1995 based on current rates of production
    and depending on future market conditions and production costs, the
    Company's ore reserves are estimated to be sufficient to support mining
    operations for at least 14 years.

                                            =====    =====
</TABLE>


    The Company pays Cedar a management fee to reimburse Cedar for costs
    incurred by Cedar on behalf of the Company related to marketing and
    financial services.  The Company has recorded a management fee of
    approximately $687,000 and $1,175,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995
    and 1994, respectively.  The Company had sales to Vicksburg of $1,214,000
    in 1995.

5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

    The Company entered into a long-term credit agreement on October 13, 1995,
    as amended, which provides a revolving credit loan up to $3,000,000,
    including a $1,500,000 letter of credit facility, through October 13, 1998.
    The annual interest rate on all borrowings is equal to the published 30 day
    dealer placed commercial paper rate plus 3% per annum, which was 8.8% at
    December 31, 1995.  Borrowings against the revolving credit loan totaled
    $1,257,000 at December 31, 1995, and were collateralized by substantially
    all assets of the Company.  The credit agreement requires certain financial
    covenants relating to minimum earnings, tangible net worth, fixed charge
    coverage ratios and maximum capital expenditure amounts.

6.  EMPLOYEE AND RETIREE BENEFITS

    The Company sponsors an employee 401(k) plan covering substantially all of
    its employees.  The Company makes contributions equal to 25% of the
    contributions made by the employees, not to exceed 2% of applicable
    employees' earnings in any year.  An additional contribution of 1% of
    applicable employees' earnings is also required.  The

    Company has recorded approximately $184,000 and $199,000 of expenses for
    employer contributions for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    respectively.

    A severance pay plan was established effective July 1, 1991 to provide for
    severance pay to all employees who are still working for the Company when
    it ceases operations.  The Company recorded an expense of $308,000 in 1994
    and none in 1995 for this plan.  The Company has transferred all funds
    related to the severance pay plan into a trust fund held by a bank.  The
    fair market value of the assets in this trust fund is $1,009,000 and
    $944,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

7.  MAJOR CUSTOMERS

    During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, one major customer
    accounted for 21% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues.
    Another customer during 1995 and 1994 accounted for 10% and 14%,

    The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
    TRI and TRI's parent company and, accordingly, pays its applicable Federal
    income taxes to TRI and computes its Federal income tax as if it were
    filing on a separate company basis.  No federal income taxes were paid to
    TRI during 1995 or 1994.  The Company paid no state income taxes in 1995 or
    1994.

9.  CONTINGENCIES

    In April 1993 and subsequent thereto, several lawsuits were filed against
    the Company and other potash producers alleging that the defendants
    conspired to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the prices of potash in the
    United States purchased by the plaintiffs in violation of United States
    antitrust laws.

    The Company has no knowledge of any conspiracy of the type alleged in the
    complaints.  The lawsuit is in an early stage and the Company intends to
    vigorously defend itself against these allegations.

    The United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division ("DOJ") is
    conducting a separate investigation concerning possible violations of the
    antitrust laws in connection with the production, sale and marketing of
    potash.  In connection therewith, the Company and other potash producers
    have been served with subpoenas to produce documents for a grand jury
    authorized by the DOJ.  The Company is cooperating with the DOJ in
    connection with providing documents sought by the subpoena.

    In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits and
    investigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
    position of the Company.

    The Company's last major labor dispute took place in July 1995.  As a
    result of this dispute, union employees of the Company had a work stoppage
    for approximately three weeks.

    The Company leases railcars under various operating lease agreements.  Rent
    expenses under these leases totaled $64,000 and $168,000 in 1995 and 1994,
    respectively.  Remaining commitments under these leases for fiscal years
    subsequent to December 31, 1995 are as follows:  1996 - $37,000 and 1997 -

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


February 9, 1996, except as to
Note 12, which is as of May 21, 1996

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
  New Mexico Potash Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of New Mexico Potash Corporation at December
31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is engaged in the mining and processing of potash.  The Company is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Cedar Chemical Corporation (the "parent company"
or "Cedar") which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trans-Resources, Inc.
("TRI").

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the
related reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING SUPPLIES

Maintenance and operating supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market,
with cost being determined using the FIFO method.  At December 31, 1995,
maintenance and operating supplies totaling $2,754,000 were included in prepaid
expenses and other current assets.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including the cost of
additions and improvements which materially increase the useful lives or values
of the assets.  The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold
are removed from the related accounts; gains or losses are included in income.
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.  Depreciation is
provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets.  Annual depreciation rates are as follows:  buildings and
land improvements - 5%; equipment - 10% to 25%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INCOME TAXES

The Company's operations are included in a consolidated federal income tax
return with TRI.  The Company's provision for income taxes is computed on a
separate return basis.  Income taxes payable on the balance sheet are payable
to TRI.

The amounts provided for income taxes are based on the amounts of current and
deferred taxes payable or refundable at the date of the financial statements as
a result of all events recognized in the financial statements as measured by
the provisions of enacted tax laws.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

In 1994, the Company purchased natural gas futures contracts to hedge the
future cost of gas.  No such contracts were purchased in 1995, however, 11
contracts purchased in November 1994 were closed in January 1995 resulting in a
realized loss of $51,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate.  Expenditures that relate to an existing condition
caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future
revenue generation ("environmental clean-up costs"), are expensed.  Liabilities
are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are
probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated.  Generally, the timing of
these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study
or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action.  Accruals relating to
costs to be incurred, if any, at the end of the useful life of equipment,
facilities or other assets are made over the useful life of the respective
assets.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Investments with original maturities of three months or less are classified as
cash equivalents by the Company.  Noncash financing and investing activities,
consisting of various related party transactions described in Note 2, are not
included in the statement of cash flows.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 1995, the Company consummated the following transactions with affiliates
through common direct and indirect ownership, its parent company, and TRI:

    --   Cedar allocated $689,000 of expenses and interest in the form of a
         management fee to the Company.  These cost have been reflected as
         operating cost and expenses and as interest expense.

    --   The Company sold $6,030,000 of product to an affiliate through common
         ownership.  The cost of these goods was $5,226,000.

NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

During 1995, a subsidiary of Cedar accounted for approximately 17.15% of the
Company's sales. Additionally, an unrelated customer accounted for
approximately 10.84% of sales.  At December 31, 1995, this unrelated customer's
receivable accounted for 10.79% of nonrelated receivables.

NOTE 7 - RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

The Company provides a profit sharing plan designed to conform to Internal
Revenue Code Section 401(k) and to the requirements of ERISA.  The plans, which
cover all full-time employees, allow participants to contribute as much as 15%
of their annual compensation, up to the maximum permitted by law, through
salary reductions.  The Company's contributions to the plans are based on a
percentage of participants' contributions, and the Company may make additional
contributions to the plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The
Company's contribution expense relating to the profit sharing thrift plan
totaled $243,000 during 1995.


NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY

Prior to 1995, the Company declared approximately $18.8 million of dividends
payable to Cedar which were reflected in prior year financial statements as a
reduction in receivables from Cedar.  During 1995, the Company reversed this
declaration when Cedar notified the Company that no cash payment was required.
The rescission of the dividend is considered noncash financing activity and has
been excluded from the statement of cash flows.


NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At December 31, 1995, the Company did not have any outstanding financial
derivative instruments.  The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those
instruments.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS

The mining of raw materials and processing ore involves the use, handling and
processing of materials that may be considered hazardous within the meaning of
applicable environmental or health and safety laws.  Accordingly, the Company's
operations are subject to federal, state and local regulatory requirements
relating to environmental matters.  Operating permits are required for the
operation of the Company's facilities, and these permits are subject to
revocation, modification and renewal.  Government authorities have the power to
enforce compliance with these regulations and permits, and violators are
subject to civil and criminal penalties, including civil fines, injunctions or
both.

The Company has several legal actions and regulatory matters pending incident
to the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the eventual
disposition of the matters described above should have no material adverse
effect on the financial position or future operations of the Company.  During
1993, the Company, among other defendants, was notified of a legal action
regarding alleged violation of certain anti-trust and other laws which the
Company is defending vigorously.  As a result, the Company has also had
inquiries and requests to provide certain information to the U.S. Department of
Justice, which the Company has provided.


NOTE 11 - OPERATING LEASES

The Company is obligated under noncancelable leases covering principally
machinery and equipment.  At December 31, 1995, the minimum annual rental
