SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NONCASH
  INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

         As of December 31, 1995, in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement
relating to the Trans-Tec acquisition, the Company has reduced by $255,000 the
principal outstanding under the promissory notes issued in connection with the
acquisition, because the Company was unable to realize certain of the acquired
assets, and was required to pay certain liabilities of the selling corporation.

         In April 1995, the Company paid $1,300,000, representing its share of
the stockholders' class action settlement, by issuing 117,825 shares of the
Company's common stock at an agreed upon price of $11.03 per share (restated to
reflect the 3-for-2 stock split). Accordingly, as of March 31, 1995, the Company
classified the accrued litigation settlement expense as a long-term liability.

         As partial consideration for the sale of certain assets on June 1,
1995, the Company received a $979,000 note receivable with an original maturity
date of July 1, 2007. In October 1995, the entire outstanding principal balance
was collected in cash, net of a $98,000 pre-payment discount.

         Cash dividends declared, but not yet paid, totaling $402,000 and
$239,000, were included in the accounts payable balances as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

     The accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements are an
           integral part of these consolidated statements (unaudited).

(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same
as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 1995.

         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

On August 21, 1995, the shareholders of International Recovery Corp. approved a
change in the Company's name to World Fuel Services Corporation.

In January 1995, the Company entered the marine fuel business through the
acquisition of the Trans-Tec group of companies. The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations of Trans-Tec are not
reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for either the
nine or three months ended December 31, 1994. The following unaudited pro-forma
consolidated results of operations for the nine and three months ended December
31, 1994, assume that the Company acquired the Trans-Tec group of companies as
of April 1, 1994.

Effective June 1, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the operating
assets and liabilities of International Petroleum Corporation of Georgia
("IPC-GA"), a subsidiary of the Company engaged in the used oil recycling
business, to Universal Refining, LLC ("URL") and Mr. Barry Paul. URL's president
is Mr. Barry Paul, the former president of IPC-GA and of the entity from which
IPC-GA initially purchased these assets in August 1990. Mr. Paul is the cousin
of the Company's President. The sales price was $1,179,000, which closely
approximated the Company's carrying values of the net assets sold. At closing,
a cash payment of $200,000 and a note receivable for $979,000, with an original
maturity date of July 1, 2007, were received. In October 1995, the entire 
outstanding principal balance was collected in cash, net of a $98,000 
pre-payment discount.

(2)  LONG-TERM DEBT

In June 1995, a mortgage note totalling $177,000, was assumed by the buyer as
part of the sale of IPC-GA.

As of January 26, 1996, the Company had outstanding approximately $5,493,000 in
standby letters of credit under the NationsBank credit facility. The Company
also had $435,000 outstanding in standby letters of credit from other financing
institutions of which $100,000 were cash collaterized.

(3)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In April 1995, the Company paid $1,300,000, representing its share of the
stockholders' class action settlement, by issuing 117,825 shares of the
Company's common stock at an agreed upon price of $11.03 per share (restated to
reflect the 3-for-2 stock split).

On June 5, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a 3-for-2 stock split for all
shares of common stock outstanding as of June 19, 1995. The shares were
distributed on June 27, 1995. Accordingly, all share and per share data, as
appropriate, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of this
split.

On August 21, 1995, the shareholders approved an increase of 300,000 shares of
common stock to the total shares available for awards of options pursuant to the
Company's 1986 Employee Stock Option Plan.

In November 1995, previously granted options to purchase 116,250 shares of the
Company's common stock were exercised at prices ranging from $2.00 to $10.08 per
share. The proceeds received by the Company from the exercised options totalled
$863,000.

(4)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

During the balance of fiscal year 1996, the Company anticipates spending
approximately $200,000 to upgrade plant, machinery and equipment. The Company
also anticipates committing approximately

<PAGE>

$800,000 to upgrade the storage tank facilities of its Louisiana oil recycling
plant, with an anticipated completion date in the second half of fiscal year
1997.

     LEGAL MATTERS

In December 1995, the Company settled a lawsuit filed in January 1993, by
Hillsborough County and other plaintiffs, arising from alleged environmental
contamination at the County's Sidney Mine disposal facility. The Company paid
$350,000, of which $175,000 was reimbursed by another potentially responsible 
party. The net cost of the settlement to the Company was $175,000.

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

In January 1996, the Company extended until March 31, 2001, the term of its
employment agreements with the Chairman of the Board and the President.

(5)  JOINT VENTURE

In August 1994, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary World Fuel
Services, Inc. began operation of a joint venture with Petrosur, an Ecuador
corporation. The Company's original ownership interest in the joint venture was
42%. Effective October 1, 1995, the Company's ownership interest was increased
to 51%. As part of this new ownership agreement, the Company agreed to a
requirement of at least 75% positive vote by the joint venture owners on all
significant decisions. Since this new arrangement precludes the Company from
having control under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has
continued to use the equity method of accounting to record its proportionate
share of joint venture earnings.

For the nine and three months ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded in
the accompanying consolidated statements of income its proportionate share of
the net earnings of the joint venture which amounted to $1,236,000 and $380,000
respectively, included as part of Other income, net.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In January 1995, the Company entered the marine fuel business through
the acquisition of the Trans-Tec group of companies. The Company acquired
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Trans-Tec
Services, Inc., a New York corporation, and Trans-Tec Servicios, S.A., a Costa
Rica corporation, and acquired all of the outstanding stock of Trans-Tec
Services (UK), Ltd., a United Kingdom corporation ("UK"). The UK company owns
Trans-Tec Services (Singapore) Pte., Ltd. As the acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase, the results of operations of Trans-Tec are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1994. See Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.

THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO
    THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

         The Company's revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 was
$451,289,000, an increase of $224,002,000, or 98.6%, as compared to revenue of
$227,287,000 for the corresponding period the prior year. The Company's revenue

         The aviation fueling segment contributed $214,180,000 in revenue for
the nine months ended December 31, 1995. This represented an increase in revenue
of $688,000, or 0.3%, as compared to the same period last year. This increase in
revenue was due to an increase in the average price per gallon sold. Partially
offsetting was an overall volume decrease in narrow margin bulk transactions,
and the termination of the fuel terminaling operations conducted at Miami
International Airport, which contract was not renewed effective June 30, 1994.
The marine fueling segment contributed $223,641,000 in revenue. The oil
recycling segment contributed $13,468,000 in revenue for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995, a decrease of $333,000, or 2.4%, as compared to the same
period last year. The revenue decrease was due primarily to the sale of its
Georgia operations. Partially offsetting were higher used oil and waste water
collection revenues.

         The Company's gross profit of $29,413,000 increased by $10,638,000, or
56.7%, as compared to the same period last year. The Company's gross margin
decreased from 8.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 1994, to 6.5% for the
nine months ended December 31, 1995.

         The Company's aviation fueling business achieved a 7.1% gross margin
for the nine months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 6.8% achieved for
the same period during the prior fiscal year. The increase in the gross margin
was largely attributed to a reduction in narrow margin bulk transactions. The
Company's marine fueling segment achieved a 4.4% gross margin for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995. The gross margin in the Company's oil recycling
segment increased from 31.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 1994, to
33.2%, for the nine months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in the gross
margin was due to higher used oil and waste water collection gross profit.

         Total operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1995
were $17,971,000, an increase of $7,355,000, or 69.3%, as compared to the same
period a year ago. This increase resulted from operating expenses of the marine
fueling segment, which totalled $7,427,000, and higher corporate overhead
salaries and payroll related costs totalling $843,000. Partially offsetting was
an $888,000 decrease in the aviation segment provision for bad debts. In
relation to revenue, total operating expenses decreased from 4.7% to 4.0%.

         The Company's income from operations for the nine months ended December
31, 1995 was $11,442,000, an increase of $3,283,000, or 40.2%, as compared to

         Income from operations of the aviation fueling segment increased
$1,684,000, or 19.3%, for the nine months ended December 31, 1995, as compared 
to the nine months ended December 31, 1994. This improvement resulted from an
increase in the average gross profit per gallon sold, and a decrease in the
provision for bad debts. Partially offsetting were an overall volume decrease in
narrow margin bulk transactions, and the termination of the Company's fuel
terminaling activities. The marine fueling segment earned $2,332,000 in income
from operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1995. The gross profit of
this segment was $9,759,000, reduced by $7,427,000 in operating expenses. Income
from operations of the oil recycling segment increased by $409,000, or 17.9%,
for the nine months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period last
year. This improvement resulted from

                                  Page 14 of 20

lower operating expenses and a higher average gross profit per gallon sold.
Partially offsetting was a volume decrease.

         Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments totalled
$3,992,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1995, an increase of
$1,142,000, or 40.1%, as compared to the same period last year. This increase
was due largely to higher salaries and payroll related costs. In relation to
revenue, total corporate overhead decreased to 0.9% for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995, as compared to 1.3% for the same period a year prior.

         For the nine months ended December 31, 1995, the Company had net other
income of $1,279,000, an increase of $273,000 over the same period a year ago.
This increase was due to a $1,020,000 increase in equity earnings of the
Company's aviation fueling joint venture in Ecuador. Partially offsetting were
a decline in foreign currency exchange gains in the third quarter of fiscal year
1995, the Hillsborough County litigation settlement, and a decline in net
interest income resulting from the financing of receivables.

         Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 was $8,061,000,
an increase of $2,303,000, as compared to net income for the nine months ended

customer deposits increased $15,243,000. The increase in net trade receivables
of $9,151,000 was attributed to the marine and aviation segments. The allowance
for bad debts as of December 31, 1995 amounted to $4,953,000, an increase of
$387,000 when compared to the March 31, 1995 balance. During the first nine
months of fiscal year 1996, the Company charged $1,185,000 to the provision for
bad debts and had charge-offs in excess of recoveries of $798,000.

         Capital expenditures, which amounted to $1,062,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal year 1996, consisted primarily of $510,000 in office equipment
and furniture, $288,000 in delivery equipment as well as $206,000 in plant
construction costs. Effective June 1, 1995, the Company sold property, plant and
equipment, with a net book value of $1,294,000, of its Georgia oil recycling
operations. During the balance of fiscal year 1996, the Company anticipates
spending approximately $200,000 to upgrade plant, machinery and equipment. The
Company also anticipates committing approximately $800,000 to upgrade the
storage tank facilities of its Louisiana oil recycling plant, with an
anticipated completion date in the second half of fiscal year 1997. The
Company also anticipates spending an estimated $1,000,000 over the next several
years to clean up contamination which was present at one of the Company's sites
when it was acquired by the Company. Clean up will be capitalized as part of the
cost of the site, up to the fair market value of the site.

         Accrued salaries and wages increased $1,125,000, principally as the
result of sales and management performance bonuses.

         Long-term liabilities as of December 31, 1995, were $7,644,000,
exhibiting an increase of $660,000 as compared to March 31, 1995. This increase
was the result of net borrowings of $2,000,000 under the Company's revolving
line of credit. Partially offsetting was the $1,300,000 payment in settlement of
the shareholders' class action litigation, through the issuance of common stock.
Stockholders' equity amounted to $61,268,000, or $7.62 per share, at December
31, 1995 compared to $52,066,000, or $6.67 per share, at March 31, 1995.

         The Company's working capital requirements are not expected to vary
substantially for the balance of fiscal year 1996. The Company expects to meet
its cash requirements for the balance of fiscal year 1996 from existing cash,
operations, and additional borrowings, as necessary, under its existing line of
credit. The Company's business has not been significantly affected by inflation
during the periods discussed in this report.
