                      INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Partners of  U.S. Tire Recycling Partners, L.P.
                    Concord, North Carolina


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of U.S. Tire Recycling Partners,
L.P. (a limited  Partnership)  as at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of income, partners' capital and 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 audits 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,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of U.S. Tire Recycling  Partners,
L.P. as at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended.

          (a)  Organization:  U.S.  Tire  Recycling  Partners,  L.P.,  a limited
               ------------  partnership,  was  formed  on April l, 1992 for the
               purpose of  acquiring  land and  equipment to be used in the tire
               recycling business. The Company collects and receives scrap tires
               from counties and other privately owned waste facilities  located
               throughout the  southeastern  portion of the United  States.  The
               tires are  sorted,  examined  and either  sold as casings or used
               tires,  processed and sold as tire derived products,  or shredded
               and used to reclaim previously mined Company land.  Additionally,
               the site is being mined for sand and gravel by an outside party.

               The  net  profit  and  losses  and  cash  flows  of  the  limited
               partnership  are allocated to the partners in accordance with the

               amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and  accompanying
               notes.   Although  these  estimates  are  based  on  management's
               knowledge of current  events and actions it may  undertake in the
               future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

         Management  has not  determined  the fair value of the notes due to the
         additional cost involved in obtaining an appraisal.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies:
          (a)  Upon filling each portion of the landfill with tires, the Company
               is required to close the landfill according to regulations set by
               Federal  and  North   Carolina   and  County   waste   management
               regulations.  Closure costs charged to operations during 1995 and
               1994 were $0 and $20,436, respectively.

          (b)  In order to comply with Federal,  North Carolina and County waste
               management regulations,  the Company must obtain various licenses
               and  permits  that  expire from time to time during the course of
               the year. It is management's  opinion that all required  licenses
               and  permits  have been and will  continue  to be  obtained  in a
               timely manner.

          (c)  Under the terms of an  agreement  to provide  services to various
               customers,  the Company has put up $117,300 of performance  bonds
               that are  secured by a $100,000  letter of credit  from a limited
               partner.

Note 11: Related Party Transactions:
          (a)  The Company pays the general partner, U.S. Tire Recycling Corp. a
               supervisory  management fee based on an agreement as follows: (1)
               Base  fee  of  $200,000,   per  annum,  payable  in  semi-monthly
               installments of $8,333.  (2) Travel  reimbursement to the general
               partner.  (3) A  budget  performance  bonus  as  defined  in  the
               agreement.

          During 1995 and 1994,  a  supervisory  management  fee of $265,400 and
          $235,400, respectively was charged to operations.

          (b)  During  1994,  a limited  partner  was paid a  consulting  fee of
               $10,000.

          (c)  During 1995 and 1994, the Company paid approximately $184,966 and
               $20,000 to an affiliated entity for sales and services.

Note 12: Cash and Cash Equivalents:
         At December  31,  1995,  the  Corporation  had $252,765 on deposit with
         South Trust Bank of Central  Carolina  which exceeds FDIC  insurance of
         $100,000.

To the Partners of  Waste Recovery - Illinois
                    (An Illinois General Partnership)


In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  listed in the  accompanying  index
present  fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of Waste
Recovery - Illinois (An Illinois  General  Partnership) at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These financial
statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership's   management;   our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.  We conducted  our audits 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 audits  provide a reasonable  basis for the opinion  expressed
above.
