           The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial
       statements of IMC Global Inc. (the Company) do not include all
       disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements.  These
       financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the
       consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 1994
       Annual Report to Stockholders, are unaudited but include all

       fair presentation.  These adjustments consist of normal recurring
       accruals except as discussed in the following Notes to Condensed
       Consolidated Financial Statements.  Certain 1993 amounts have been
       reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.  Interim results are
       not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


       1. Environmental Matters
          ---------------------
          Operating earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 1994
       included provisions totaling $7.6 million ($4.3 million net of minority
       interest) to provide for additional remediation costs associated with a
       sinkhole beneath a phosphogypsum storage stack at IMC-Agrico's New
       Wales concentrated phosphate production facility in Florida and
       anticipated repair and cleanup costs related to an earthen dam breach
       at IMC-Agrico's Payne Creek phosphate rock mining facility in Florida.
       These charges were more than completely offset on a net basis by a gain
       of $5.0 million from the sale of land in Florida.

       2.  Income Taxes
          ------------
          Provisions (credits) for income taxes were based on the estimated
       annual effective tax rate for each fiscal year.  Deferred income taxes
       reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
       amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
       the amounts used for income tax purposes.  In 1993, the provision
       (credit) for income taxes included a charge of $4.1 million for an
       adjustment to the Company's net deferred tax liability for the effect
       of changes in U.S. corporate tax rates.

       3. Accounting for Postemployment Benefits
          --------------------------------------
          Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, ``
                                             Employers' Accounting for
       Postemployment Benefits,''
                                 to account for disability benefits.  Prior
       to July 1, 1994, the Company recognized the cost of providing certain
       of these benefits on a cash basis.  SFAS No. 112 requires the cost of
       providing these benefits be recognized when it becomes probable that
       such benefits will be paid and when sufficient information exists to
       make reasonable estimates of the amounts to be paid.  As a result,
       results for the three months ended September 30, 1994 reflected a
       charge of $5.9 million, net of taxes, for the cumulative effect of the
       adoption of SFAS No. 112.  The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112
       on the three month's earnings before the cumulative effect of the
       accounting change was not material.

       4. Extraordinary Loss - Debt Retirement
          ------------------------------------
          In connection with the purchase of portions of the Company's Senior
       Notes during the three month period ended September 30, 1994 and the
       1993 purchase of $220 million of its 11.25 percent Notes with The
       Prudential Insurance Company of America, the Company recorded
       extraordinary charges of $1.2 million and $23.8 million, respectively,
       for redemption premium incurred and write-off of previously deferred
       finance charges associated with such Notes, net of taxes.

       5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
          -------------------------
          Earnings (loss) per share were based on the weighted average number
       of shares and equivalent shares outstanding.  Shares used in the
       calculations were 29,538,970 shares for the quarter ended September 30,
       1994 which reflected common stock offerings in October 1993 and May
       1994 of 7,450,000 shares.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1993,
       shares and equivalent shares outstanding totaled 22,060,493 million
       shares.
<PAGE>

       Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
       Results of Operations.

       Results of Operations
       ---------------------

           Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1994
       improved significantly over the same period a year ago.  In 1994, net
       earnings for the quarter totaled $14.7 million, or $.50 per share,
       compared to a net loss of $46.3 million, or $2.10 per share, in 1993.

           Included in 1994 operating results was a one-time charge of $5.9
       million, or $.20 per share, for the cumulative effect on prior years of
       a change in accounting for postemployment benefits resulting from the
       adoption of SFAS No. 112 on July 1, 1994 and an extraordinary charge of
       $1.2 million, or $.04 per share, related to the early extinguishment of
       debt.  In 1993, the loss included an extraordinary charge of $23.8
       million, or $1.08 per share, related to the early extinguishment of
       debt and a charge of $4.1 million, or $.19 per share, for an adjustment
       to the Company's net deferred tax liability for the effect of changes
       in U.S. corporate tax rates.

           Excluding the non-recurring items described above, the Company's
       earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1994 totaled $21.8
       million, or $.74 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.4 million, or
       $.83 per share, for the same period a year ago.  See Notes to Condensed
       Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these
       non-recurring items.

           Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1994 were $420.8
       million, a 58 percent increase over 1993 when sales were $266.4
       million.  Continued strength in global markets as well as a significant
       rebound in concentrated phosphate prices from year-earlier levels
       contributed to this increase.

           Gross margins increased $69.3 million from last year primarily due
       to higher margins for concentrated phosphates and potash of $68 million
       and $9 million, respectively, partially offset by lower phosphate rock
       margins of $7 million.

           Concentrated phosphate margins increased primarily as a result of
       higher prices ($59 million) as average diammonium phosphate prices
       increased 43 percent over year-earlier levels.  Other related
       concentrated phosphate products showed similar price improvements.  In
       addition, sales volume increased ($18 million) as domestic and export
       shipping demand increased 37 percent over last year's first quarter.
       Partially offsetting these increases were higher production costs ($9
       million) primarily due to higher raw material costs and a charge
       resulting from anticipated remediation costs associated with a sinkhole
       described in Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
       Statements.

           Potash margins increased primarily due to increased sales volume
       ($6 million) as domestic and export shipments increased 77 percent over
       the same period a year ago.  In addition, production costs were lower
       ($3 million) primarily due to lower water inflow control spending.

           Phosphate rock margins decreased primarily due to higher production
       costs as excessive rainfall levels in Florida affected phosphate rock
       production and additional costs were incurred in the startup of the
       Company's previously idled Payne Creek mine.  Also included in higher
       production costs was a charge for anticipated repair and cleanup costs
<PAGE>

       related to an earthen dam breach discussed in Note 1 of Notes to
       Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


           The following table summarizes the Company's sales of crop nutrient
       products and average selling prices for the three months ended
       September 30, 1994 and 1993.

             Average price per ton         $  62.52         $  68.14


           Other operating income and expense for the three months ended
       September 30, 1994 included a gain of $5.0 million from the sale of
       land in Florida and $.7 million from the amortization of a deferred
       gain resulting from the exchange of the Company's phosphate business
       for a 56.5 percent interest in IMC-Agrico.  In 1993, other operating
       income and expense included $3.9 million of such amortization.

           Interest earned and other non-operating income increased $5.8
       million over the same period a year ago due primarily to increased
       interest income and lower debt fee amortization charges.

           Interest charges for the three months ended September 30, 1994 were
       $7.5 million lower than last year's first quarter and reflected efforts
       made by the Company to reduce high-cost, long-term indebtedness over
       the past year.


       Financial Condition
       -------------------

           Since June 30, 1994, cash and cash equivalents have decreased $51.3
       million.  Primary uses of cash included $50.7 million to purchase
       portions of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes, $44.4 million of
       cash sharing distributions to FRP and $11.6 million of capital
       expenditures.   Partially offsetting these cash outflows were $49.2
       million generated by operating activities and $5.8 million from the
       sale of fixed assets.

           The Company's working capital ratio at September 30, 1994 was 2.5
       versus 2.6 at June 30, 1994.  Debt to total capitalization improved to
       48.8 percent at September 30, 1994 compared to 71.2 percent a year ago
       and 51.3 percent at June 30, 1994.
<PAGE>

           The Company has an agreement with a group of banks to provide it
       with an unsecured revolving credit facility (the Working Capital
       Facility) under which the Company may borrow up to $100 million until
       June 30, 1996.  At September 30, 1994, $29.6 million was drawn down in
       the form of letters of credit principally to support industrial revenue
       bonds and other debt and credit risk guarantees.  There were no other
       borrowings under the agreement at September 30, 1994.

           IMC-Agrico also has an agreement with a group of banks to provide
       it with a $75 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the
       IMC-Agrico Working Capital Facility).  At September 30, 1994, $4.9
       million was drawn down in the form of letters of credit.  There were no
       other borrowings under this agreement at September 30, 1994.

           Certain debt agreements contain provisions which restrict the
       Company's ability to make capital expenditures, dispose of assets,
       limit the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders,
       and prohibit the incurrence of additional indebtedness.  The Working
       Capital Facility also contains financial ratios and tests which must be
       met with respect to interest and fixed charge coverage, tangible net
       worth, working capital and debt to total capitalization.  In addition,
       the IMC-Agrico Working Capital Facility contains financial and minimum
       net Partners' capital requirements, places limitations on indebtedness
       of IMC-Agrico and restricts the ability of IMC-Agrico to make cash
       distributions in excess of Distributable Cash (as defined in the
       Partnership Agreement).  At September 30, 1994, both the Company and
       IMC-Agrico were in compliance with all of the covenants in the
       indentures and other agreements governing its indebtedness.

           IMC-Agrico makes cash distributions to each partner based on
       formulas and sharing ratios as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
       For the three months ended September 30, 1994, the total amount of
       Distributable Cash generated by IMC-Agrico was $61.4 million, of which
       $34.1 million was distributed to FRP, including $11.9 million
       distributed in November 1994.

           Capital expenditures for the year ending June 30, 1995 are
       estimated to total $64 million (including $45 million by IMC-Agrico).
       The Company believes that its current liquidity position and cash flow
       from operations should be sufficient to meet its working capital needs
       and expansion of its operations.

           In October 1993 and May 1994, the Company successfully completed
       common stock offerings totaling 7,450,000 shares, the proceeds of which
       were used to reduce long-term indebtedness.  Assuming the common stock
       offerings had occurred on July 1, 1993 and the proceeds used to reduce
       outstanding indebtedness, the pro forma net loss for the three months
       ended September 30, 1993 would have been $40.5 million, or $1.37 per
       share.

           There were no other material changes in the Company's financial
       condition, capital resources, or liquidity from that described in the
       Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994.


       Other Matters
       -------------

           Pursuant to the development order for the New Wales concentrated
       phosphate facility, the Company has been monitoring groundwater
       contamination levels, and had until October 30, 1994 to achieve
       permitted levels or seek an extension of time in order to accomplish
<PAGE>

       it.  Failure to reach such levels could potentially result in the
       incurrence of substantial expenditures to line or relocate a New Wales
       cooling pond.

           Concentrations of groundwater contaminants had been slowly dropping
       and approaching permitted levels following plugging of the 12 former
       recharge wells located beneath the cooling pond.  The concentrations
       increased significantly, however, at the time of the appearance of a
       large hole atop the New Wales phosphogypsum stack, believed to be
       caused by a sinkhole beneath the stack.

           Concentrations are currently substantially in excess of permitted
       levels.  Because the Company is pumping water from the aquifer to use
       at the New Wales facility, the contamination has not traveled outside
       the Company's property.

           The Company is working with government authorities in connection
       with the sinkhole, and remediation of the groundwater contamination
       levels is seen as a part of the overall situation; accordingly no
       formal request for extension under the development order has been
       filed.



       Part II. OTHER INFORMATION


       Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

           Pursuant to certain agreements between the Company and Mallinckrodt
       Group Inc., the Company has agreed to indemnify Mallinckrodt Group Inc.
       against any liability or costs attributable to, among other things,
       litigation involving the crop nutrient business, whether or not the
       events which give rise to the litigation predated July 1, 1987.

           In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is and will
       from time to time be involved in routine litigation.  Except for the
       matters discussed below, which matters were previously discussed in the
       Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, none of the litigation
       pending or known to be threatened at this time is regarded by the
       Company as potentially material.

       Sterlington Litigation
       ----------------------

           In May of 1991, an explosion occurred at a nitroparaffins plant in
       Sterlington, Louisiana, owned by Angus Chemical Company (Angus) and
       operated by the Company pursuant to a management agreement with Angus.

           Litigation involving the Company, Angus and third parties in Texas
       was settled in April 1993, although the meaning of certain of the terms
       of the settlement and the final judgment in that litigation remain in
       dispute between Angus and the Company, as described below.

           The Company has been partially reimbursed by its insurers for sums
       paid in settlement and is seeking additional sums from one of them in
       arbitration.  In that arbitration, the insurer has filed a counterclaim
       which seeks the return of the $15 million previously paid to the
       Company by that insurer.

           In Louisiana, there are currently in excess of 240 personal injury
       lawsuits which are unresolved and additional suits are threatened.  The
<PAGE>

       Company has established a reserve to cover the estimated cost of
       resolving such litigation but is continuing to assess its exposure as
       the existing lawsuits progress and new plaintiffs are identified.
       Recent decisions of Louisiana courts indicate that certain defenses
       under Louisiana workers compensation laws may have been weakened,
       potentially expanding the Company's exposure.  It now appears likely
       that a class or classes of plaintiffs will be certified for trial.

           Also in Louisiana, Angus filed in 1993, but has not yet served on
       the Company, a lawsuit which Angus counsel assert seeks damages
       allegedly related to (1) direct action claims against two of the
       Company's insurers, with one of which there is an agreement which that
       insurer might assert requires the Company to indemnify such insurer,
       (2) third party claims against Angus, and (3) sums already paid by
       Angus to third parties.  The Company believes there are substantial
       defenses to the direct action claims against its insurers and the
       claims for sums already paid by Angus to third parties (which third
       party claims Angus asserts are approximately $10 million), and that in
       any event the Company's exposure, if any, for such direct action claims
       is approximately $30 million.

           The Company filed a lawsuit in Texas seeking a court determination
       that the settlement and final judgment in the Texas litigation
       described above disposed of the Angus claims described in items (1) and
       (3) directly above.  Angus filed a counterclaim seeking reimbursement
       for sums already paid by Angus to third parties.  The trial judge has
       ruled against the Company as to the terms of the settlement agreement
       with Angus, has not yet ruled on issues related to the final judgment,
       and did not rule as to whether Louisiana law permits Angus to pursue
       the direct action claims against the Company's insurers.

           The Company intends to vigorously litigate these matters.  However,
       given that the Texas lawsuit is in its early stages and discovery is
       not complete, the Louisiana lawsuit has not been served on the Company,
       and with the uncertainties inherent in litigation, no assurances can be
       given with respect to the outcome of these matters.

       Potash Antitrust Litigation
       ---------------------------

           The Company has been named as a defendant, along with other
       Canadian and U.S. potash producers, in lawsuits filed in federal court
       in Minnesota and state court in California and Illinois.  The
       plaintiffs are purchasers of potash who allege a price fixing
       conspiracy among North American potash producers beginning in 1987 and
       continuing until the filing of the lawsuits.  Discovery has been
       conducted with respect to the limited question of whether the court
       should certify a class of potash purchasers in the Minnesota
       litigation.  Cases filed in California and Illinois are still at an
       early stage pending further proceedings concerning preliminary issues
       and no discovery in those cases has yet occurred.  While the Company
       believes that the allegations in the complaints are without merit,
       until discovery has been completed it is unable to evaluate possible
       defenses or to make a reliable determination as to potential liability
       exposure, if any.

           The Company has also received a U.S. grand jury subpoena seeking
       information related to the sale of potash in the United States from
       1986 to the present.  The Company is cooperating with the government
       and is assembling the information needed to comply with the subpoena.
       As in the civil litigation described above, while the Company does not
       believe that violations of the antitrust laws have occurred, the

       Company is unable to predict the outcome of the government
       investigation or make a reliable determination as to potential
       exposure, if any.

       convertible securities which would have an antidilutive effect on
       earnings (loss) per share for each period.
