                      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

               amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and  accompanying

               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

                            WASTE RECOVERY - ILLINOIS
                        (AN ILLINOIS GENERAL PARTNERSHIP)
                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1995 and 1994

Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
        
          (a)  Organization  and  Operations.  Waste  Recovery  -  Illinois,  an
               ----------------------------- 
               Illinois  general  partnership  (the  Partnership),   was  formed
               November 29, 1993, to jointly build and operate two  tire-derived
               fuel  processing  facilities  in Dupo  and  Marseilles,  Illinois
               (Illinois  plants).  The facilities,  which cost approximately $5
               million  each and began  operations  in the fall of 1995,  supply
               Illinois Power Company  (Illinois  Power) at its Baldwin facility
               (Baldwin)  with  60,000  tons of TDF  annually  over a five  year
               period.  The  Illinois  Power  contract  accounts  for 50% of the
               facilities' estimated production capacity.

               The  Partnership  specializes  in  processing  scrap tires into a
               refined fuel supplement more commonly referred to as tire-derived
               fuel (TDF). The Partnership generates income from the sale of TDF
               and from  tipping  fees  charged for the  disposal of tires.  The
               Partnership's  operations  are  presently  in Illinois and nearby
               states.

               The managing  partner of the Partnership is Waste Recovery,  Inc.
               (WRI),  a Texas  corporation,  which  has a 45%  interest  in the
               Partnership;   Riverside   Caloric   Company  (RCC),  an  Indiana
               corporation, has a 55% interest in the Partnership.

          (b)  Management Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in
               --------------------                                             
               conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
               management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that effect 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.

          (c)  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents.   The  Partnership   considers  all
               ----------------------------
               unrestricted   cash  and  highly  liquid  debt  instruments  with
               original   maturities   of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash
               equivalents.

          (d)  Investments.  In  1994,  the bond  proceeds  were  invested  into
               -----------
               various  interest-bearing   accounts  for  periods  ranging  from
               approximately  30 days to 16 months,  with interest rates varying
               from 4.25% to 8.875% per annum.  Investments  with maturity dates
               greater than one year  (approximately  $148,760)  are included in
               restricted  cash in the  accompanying  1994  balance  sheet.  The
               investments  matured  during 1995, and the proceeds were used for
               the construction of the plants.

          (e)  Inventories. Parts inventory represents primarily the cost of the
               -----------
               grinder knives and machinery parts used in the TDF  manufacturing
               process.   These   inventories  are  stated  at  cost  (first-in,
               first-out)  and are  depreciated  over the useful  lives of these
               parts, generally six to eighteen months.

               TDF  inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
               determined using a weighted average cost method.

          (f)  Property, Plant and Equipment.  Property, plant and equipment are
               -----------------------------
               stated at cost. Depreciation of property,  plant and equipment is
               calculated  using the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated
               useful  lives  of the  assets  (generally  three  to ten  years),
               beginning  at the point in time the assets are placed in service.
               No  depreciation  was recorded in 1994 as the assets had not been
               placed in service or were acquired at the end of the year.

          (g)  Construction  in Progress.  Construction  of the Illinois  plants
               -------------------------                 
               began  in  1994;  Dupo  was  completed  in  September  1995,  and
               Marseilles  was completed in October 1995.  The costs incurred to
               build the plants and equipment were  capitalized as  construction
               in progress  until the projects  were  completed  and  individual
               assets  could be  identified,  at which  time,  the  assets  were
               transferred into property,  plant and equipment. 

          (h)  Preoperating  Costs.  Preoperating  costs  represent  those costs
               ------------------- 
               incurred in the  planning,  engineering  and  development  of the
               Illinois plants. These costs are being amortized over three years
               on a  straight-line  basis,  beginning  with the operation of the
               plants.

          (i)  Bond Issuance Costs. Bond issuance costs are recorded at cost and
               -------------------
               amortized over the life of the  associated  debt using the amount
               of bonds outstanding method.

          (j)  Other  Assets.  Other  assets are  recorded  at cost and  consist
               -------------                                     
               mainly  of  prepaid,  additional  rent  for the  land at the Dupo
               plant,  which is being amortized over the term of the lease,  and
               bank finance fees, which are being amortized over the term of the
               bonds.

          (k)  Deferred Grant Revenue.  The Partnership has an agreement whereby
               -----------------------  
               it has earned  $1,000,000  in grants  from the State of  Illinois
               with the successful  completion of certain pieces of equipment at
               the Illinois plants. As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership had
               received  $800,000 from these grants;  the remaining  $200,000 is
               included in other current assets as of December 31, 1995, and was
               received in January  1996.  The grant  money is being  amortized,
               beginning  when the plants were placed in operation,  through the
               term of the grants, which is July 31, 1999.

               In 1995, the Partnership  also received  $365,903 through a grant
               awarded to the Illinois  Power Company for the  construction  and
               installation of a metering unit at Illinois Power. Twenty percent
               of the  total  amount  of the  grant  is being  retained  pending
               satisfaction of certain  operational  requirements.  Ownership of
               the  metering  unit  reverts to Illinois  Power at the end of the
               contract.

          (l)  Income Taxes. No provision or credit for federal income taxes has
               ------------
               been made  because  income  taxes are the  responsibility  of the
               individual partners. The net difference between the tax bases and
               the reported amounts of the Partnership's  assets and liabilities
               is approximately $700,000 at December 31, 1995.

          (m)  Statements  of Cash Flows.  During  1995,  the  Partnership  paid
               ------------------------- 
               $530,447 for interest and did not pay any income taxes.  Interest
               expense totaled $578,899 and interest income totaled $207,079 for
               the year ended December 31, 1995. Of these  amounts,  $188,708 of
               interest expense was offset against eligible interest income, and
               $234,833 was capitalized into the cost of construction.

               The  Partnership  did not pay any interest or income taxes during
               1994.  Interest  expense  totaled  $150,629 and  interest  income
               totaled  $145,359 for the year ended  December 31, 1994. Of these
               amounts, $139,941 of interest expense was offset against eligible
               interest  income,  and $10,688 was  capitalized  into the cost of

         (formerly,  the Illinois  Department of Energy and Natural Resource) as
         of June 1, 1994.  The  Department  administers  the Used Tire  Recovery
         Program which offers  financial  incentives  for projects  which reuse,
         recycle or recover energy from Illinois used or scrap tires.

                                      F-25
<PAGE>
         The  Partnership   requested  funding   assistance  to  build  its  TDF
         processing  plants in Dupo and  Marseilles,  Illinois.  The  Department
         agreed to provide  grants  towards  the  Partnership's  "projects,"  as
         defined.  The  Grantee  agrees  that at least 30% of the scrap tires it
         processes  will come from Illinois  sources,  and that a minimum of one
         million Illinois PTE's (passenger tire equivalents),  as defined,  will
         be  collected  and  processed  annually at each plant.  The  Department
         awarded the Grantee $1,000,000 towards specified equipment ($500,000 at
         each  plant),  payable at 80%  ($800,000)  as based upon the  specified
         equipment  budget.  The  Department  held  back  20% of the  funds as a
         retainer  until  verification  that all equipment  purchased with Grant
         Funds,  as  defined,  had been  installed  and was  operational.  As of
         December 31, 1995,  the 20% retainage  ($200,000)  had been applied for
         and was received in January 1996.

         The term of the grants is  through  July 31,  1999,  and  requires  the
         Partnership to maintain the equipment for the purpose as originally set
         forth in the  agreement,  to provide the  Department  with  semi-annual
         reports, and to meet certain other listed criteria.

         The Partnership  received additional funding through a grant awarded to
         the Illinois Power Company for the  construction  of a metering unit at
         the Baldwin Power Plant of the Illinois Power Company.  The Partnership
         has received 80% of this award  ($365,903) as of December 31, 1995, and
         approximately  20% is being retained  pending  satisfaction  of certain
         operational  requirements.  This award is being  amortized  through the
         remainder of the contract  with Illinois  Power,  which is through July
         1999.

         As of December 31, 1995, $1,270,547 of the total grant money recognized
         is recorded as deferred grant revenue in the accompanying balance sheet
         and  is  being   amortized  into  income  through  July  31,  1999,  at
         approximately $30,000 per month.

Note 8:  Bonds Payable:
         To provide  funding  for the  construction  of the Dupo and  Marseilles
         plants, the Partnership entered into two loan agreements: 1) $4,845,000
         with the Southwestern  Illinois  Development  Authority  (SWIDA) and 2)
         $4,030,000 with the Upper Illinois River Valley  Development  Authority
         (UIRVDA)  (together,  the Bonds),  respectively.  The Bonds were issued
         through  the Solid Waste  Disposal  Revenue  Bonds,  Series 1994 (Waste
         Recovery  -  Illinois  Project)  dated  September  1,  1994,  under  an
         Indenture of Trust. The proceeds to the Partnership were to fund a debt
         service  reserve  fund,  to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds,  to pay
         interest  during   construction,   and  to  finance  the  cost  of  the
         construction of buildings and related  improvements and the acquisition
         and  installation  of machinery,  equipment and related  property,  all
         constituting industrial, commercial and solid waste disposal facilities
         located at Dupo and Marseilles, Illinois.

         The  notes  bear  interest  at 6.5% per  annum  with  interest  payable
         February  1 and  August  1  each  year,  beginning  February  1,  1995.
         Principal  payments  are due  annually on February 1 beginning  in 1996
         through 2004.

         The notes are  collateralized  by the property,  plant and equipment of
         the  Partnership  and are  guaranteed by Waste  Recovery,  Inc.  Future
         minimum payments as of February 1 each year are as follows:

                                                                ========

         Total rental expense for the land in Dupo and various equipment rentals
         for the year ended December 31, 1995, was $36,718.

Note 11: Significant Contracts:
         The Partnership entered into a contract with the Illinois Power Company
         on October 12, 1993,  to supply it with at least 60,000 tons of TDF per
         year for a period  of five  years.  If the  Partnership  is  unable  to
         fulfill  this  requirement,  WRI will  sell TDF  produced  at its other
         facilities to the Partnership.  Sales to Illinois Power of TDF produced
         in Dupo began in September 1995.

Note 12: Business and Credit Concentrations:
         During 1995, the Partnership  derived  revenues of $336,382 in disposal
         fees from WRI for  approximately  7,514 tons of tires  received in Dupo
         from a WRI project.  As of December 31, 1995, WRI owed the  Partnership
         $55,237 from these disposal fees.

         The Partnership's  tire-derived fuel sales were exclusively to Illinois
         Power  Company  (see note 11) and  amounted  to 49% of the  total  1995
         revenues.

         The  Partnership's  customers are located in the Midwestern and Eastern
         United  States.  The  Partnership  does  business  with  a  variety  of
         companies with diverse credit risk. The Partnership  does not generally
         require  collateral  or  other  security  from  its  customers  and has
         encountered very little loss on its receivables.

Note 13: Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
         The fair value of the Partnership's current assets, restricted cash and
         accounts  payable  approximates  the  recorded  amounts  because of the
         liquidity and short maturity of these instruments.

         It is not  practicable to estimate the fair value of the  Partnership's
         long-term debt as it is a unique debt  instrument for which there is no
         public market.

Note 14: Profit Sharing Plan:
         The employees of the Partnership may participate in the Waste Recovery,
         Inc., 401(k) Plan (the Plan), a defined  contribution  plan.  Employees
         who have  completed  six months of service and have attained the age of
         twenty-one   are   eligible  to  become   participants   in  the  Plan.
         Participants  may  contribute  up to  15%  of  their  compensation,  as
         defined,    annually.    Any   employer   contributions   are   totally
         discretionary; none were made during 1995.

Note 15: Contingencies:
         Like other waste management companies, the Partnership's operations are
         subject to  extensive  and  changing  federal  and state  environmental
         regulations   governing  emissions  into  the  atmosphere,   wastewater
         discharges,  solid and hazardous waste  management  activities and site
         restoration  and  abandonment  activities.  As of December 31, 1995, no
         such costs had been accrued and management does not believe the affects
         of the  aforementioned  activities  will have a material  effect on the
         Partnership's financial statements.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations of Waste
Recovery,  Inc. (the Company) for the year ended  December 31, 1995 and the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 (Pro Forma  Statements) have been prepared as if
the  acquisitions  and related  financings had occurred at the beginning of 1995
for the statement of operations data, and as of September 30,1996 in the case of
balance sheet data.

The Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statement of Operations for the year ended December
31,  1995 is  based  upon  the  historical  financial  statements  of U.S.  Tire
Recycling  Partners L.P.  (U.S.  Tire) for the year ended December 31, 1995, the
historical   financial   statements  of  Waste   Recovery-Illinois,   a  general
partnership,  (WR-Illinois)  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1995,  and the
historical  consolidated  financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  The Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statement of Operations for the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 is based upon the  historical  financial
statements  of U.S.  Tire for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the
historical  financial  statements  of  WR-Illinois  for the  nine  months  ended
December 31, 1995, and the historical  consolidated  financial statements of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 1995.

The Pro Forma Statements presented herein are not necessarily  indicative of the
Company's  financial condition or results of operations that might have occurred
had such  transactions been completed at the beginning of 1995 or as of the date
specified,  and do not purport to indicate the Company's  consolidated financial
position or results of operations for any future date or period.

The  acquisitions   have  been  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of
accounting.  The unaudited pro forma  adjustments  described in the notes to the
Pro  Forma  Statements  reflect  the  preliminary  estimated  allocation  of the
purchase price to assets and liabilities and are subject to final determination.
The amounts  reflected in the Pro Forma  Statements  may differ from the amounts
ultimately determined.
