                           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS





       Plan Administrator
       Investment Plan for Salaried Employees of
       IMC Fertilizer, Inc.

       We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
       plan benefits of the Investment Plan for Salaried Employees of IMC
       Fertilizer, Inc. as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related
       statements of changes in assets available for plan benefits for the
       years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
       the Plan'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, the financial statements referred to above present
       fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for plan
       benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in
       its assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in
       conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

       Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
       financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental
       schedules of investments and reportable transactions as of or for the
       year ended June 30, 1994, respectively, are presented for purposes of
       complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
       Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
       Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the basic financial
       statements.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
       auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1994 basic financial
       statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
       respects in relation to the 1994 basic financial statements taken as a
       whole.

                       INVESTMENT PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES
                               OF IMC FERTILIZER, INC.       
                       --------------------------------------
                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            -----------------------------
       1.  Description of the Plan
           -----------------------

       General
       -------
           The Investment Plan for Salaried Employees of IMC Fertilizer, Inc.
       (the Plan) was established on March 1, 1988 and was most recently
       restated January 1, 1992.  Salaried employees of IMC Global Operations
       Inc. (formerly IMC Fertilizer, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
       IMC Global Inc., formerly IMC Fertilizer Group, Inc.) and its
       wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the Company) are eligible to
       participate in the Plan.

           The Plan is funded by contributions from participants in the form
       of payroll deductions/salary reductions of up to 15 percent of
       participants' base monthly salaries.  The Plan provides a qualified
       cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of
       the Internal Revenue Code.  Salary reduction contributions, elected by
       certain participants, may be reduced (or refunded) to comply with
       certain non-discrimination requirements of Section 401(k) or the
       limitations of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition,
       salary reduction contributions cannot exceed $9,240 for the calendar
       year 1994 ($8,994 in 1993).  The limitation on salary reduction
       contributions can be adjusted or recharacterized as after-tax
       contributions not to exceed the lesser of the 15 percent or $9,240
       limits described above each January 1 and July 1 by the Employee
       Benefits Committee.  In addition, the Plan also is funded by employer
       contributions, as determined by IMC Global Inc.'s Board of Directors,
       of not less than 20 percent of a participant's eligible contributions.
       Contributions that do not exceed six percent of a participant's base
       monthly salary constitute eligible contributions.  IMC Global Inc. may
       make additional contributions each year as determined by its Board of
       Directors.  Employer contributions are subject to certain limitations
       imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Total employer
       contributions were equal to 60 percent of participants' eligible
       contributions for the year ended June 30, 1994 (25 percent for the year
       ended June 30, 1993).  Under certain circumstances, participants may
       rollover their vested benefits from other plans to the Plan.  While the
       Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it is free
       to do so at any time.

           Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are borne by the
       Company.

       Investments
       -----------
           The Plan's investments at June 30, 1994 and 1993 were administered
       by The Northern Trust Company under a trust agreement dated March 7,
       1988.  Investments, based on participants' contributions, are made in
       the following funds:

          Equity Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Fidelity
          Equity-Income Fund, Inc., a mutual fund which invests at least 65

          foreign instruments, including bonds.
<PAGE>



          Bond Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Bond Fund of
          America, Inc., a mutual fund which invests substantially all of the
          assets of the fund in marketable corporate debt securities, U.S.

          asset-backed securities and cash or money market instruments.

          Fixed Income Fund - Investments of the Fixed Income Fund, with the

          LaSalle Street Capital Management, Ltd.  Investments are made in
          the following guaranteed investment contracts or funds:

             (a)  A contract with New York Life Insurance Company with a
                  guaranteed interest rate of 8.8 percent through June 30,
                  1994.  Contributions were accepted for investment from

             (b)  A contract with Provident National Assurance Company with a

             1991, one-third on June 30, 1992, one-half on June 30, 1993, and
             the balance on June 30, 1994.  Proceeds from the maturity of the
             June 30, 1991 installment payment were reinvested with Hartford
             Life Insurance Company further described in (c) below.  Proceeds
             from the maturity of the June 30, 1992 and 1993 installment
             payments were temporarily reinvested in The Northern Trust
             Company Collective Short Term Investment Fund before being

                  January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1991.

             The Provident National Assurance Company contract also matures,

             temporarily reinvested in The Northern Trust Company Collective
             Trust Short Term Investment Fund before being reinvested in the
             LaSalle National Trust, N.A. Income Plus Fund described in (e)

                  Fund, a pooled fund which invests primarily in guaranteed
                  investment contracts, U.S. Government money market
                  investments and contracts backed by the U.S. Government or
                  U.S. Government sponsored agencies.

          Money Market Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Vanguard
          Money Market Reserves, Inc. - Prime Portfolio, a mutual fund.  The

          bank obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and securities issued
          or guaranteed by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
          Government.

       Investment Programs
       -------------------
           Participants elect their desired investment program upon joining
       the Plan.  As of July 1, October 1, January 1 and April 1 of any Plan
       year, upon giving prescribed notice, a participant may elect to
       transfer his or her existing account balances in any fund or funds at
       that date to any other fund, or in 25 percent increments to any
       combination of funds.  Effective July 1, 1991, participants may not
       transfer funds of existing account balances between the Fixed Income
       Fund and the Bond Fund, the Bond Fund and the Money Market Fund nor
       between the Fixed Income Fund and the Money Market Fund.  A participant
       may elect to change the investment direction of his or her future
       contributions four times a year (July 1, October 1, January 1 and April
       1).  Such a change only affects the investment of the participant's
       contributions and employer contributions received by the Plan after the
       effective date of the change.

           A participant may change the amount of payroll deduction/salary
       reduction twice a year, as of July 1 and January 1, upon giving the
       required notice.

       Vesting and Participation
       -------------------------
           All Plan participants are immediately and nonforfeitably vested in
       their plan accounts.  Employees become eligible to participate in the
       Plan upon completion of one year of service.

       Withdrawals
       -----------
           A participant may withdraw his or her interest in the Plan upon
       termination of employment.  Subject to certain requirements and
       limitations, participants may withdraw funds.  Most withdrawals made by
       participants, including hardship withdrawals from their Salary
       Reduction Accounts, will result in suspension of Plan participation for
       at least 12 months.

           Except as noted below, a participant will receive distribution of
       his or her interest in the Plan in a lump sum payment.

       Deferred Distributions
       ----------------------
           Participants who terminate their employment and are eligible for
       early or normal retirement under any Company pension plan will be
       permitted to elect, at any time prior to retirement, to defer receipt
<PAGE>

       of their Plan distributions until no later than their 70th birthday.
       Participants electing deferral must:  (1) irrevocably elect to invest
       their Plan accounts in either the Fixed Income Fund or the Money Market
       Fund or 50 percent in one of the aforementioned funds and 50 percent in
       the other, (2) elect to receive their distributions in: (a) a lump sum
       on the date of distribution, or (b) in equal annual installments not to
       exceed ten, and (3) make an election for the method of distribution in
       the event of their death prior to total distribution.

           Participants who terminate their employment prior to eligibility
       for early or normal retirement and whose Plan accounts exceed $3,500
       must consent to distribution of their accounts.  Participants may defer
       receipt of their Plan distribution until no later than their 70th
       birthdays; their Plan accounts will be invested only in the Fixed
       Income Fund from the valuation date closest to termination of
       employment until their election to receive a distribution.

       Loans to Participants
       ---------------------
           Participants in the Plan may be granted loans subject to certain
       terms and maximum dollar or Plan account balance limits, as defined by
       the Plan.  The amount of any such loan is borrowed from the account of
       the participant to whom the loan was made and such account does not
       share in the allocation of income, gains and losses of the investment
       funds to the extent of the outstanding balance of such loan.  Principal
       repayments, which are over one to five years for general purpose loans
       and over one to ten years for residential loans, and related interest
       income are credited to the borrowing participant's account.  Loan
       payments are made by monthly payroll deductions.  Each loan bears
       interest at the prevailing rate for loans of similar risk, date of
       maturity and date of grant.


       2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
           ------------------------------------------

       Investment Valuation
       --------------------
           All investments are carried at fair value, except the guaranteed
       investment contracts which are carried at contract value.  Fair value
       is the last reported sale price on the last business day of the month
       for securities traded on a national securities exchange and in the
       over-the-counter market.  Fair value for shares or units of the
       Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, Inc., the Bond Fund of America, Inc., the
       LaSalle National Trust, N.A. Income Plus Fund, the Vanguard Money
       Market Reserves, Inc. - Prime Portfolio, the Dreyfus Treasury Cash
       Management Fund and The Northern Trust Company Collective Trust Short
       Term Investment Fund is the net asset value of those shares or units,
       as computed by the respective funds.  Loans to participants are valued
       at cost which approximates fair value.

       Income Recognition
       ------------------
           Purchases and sales of securities are accounted for on the trade
       date (date the order to buy or sell is executed).

           Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest from
       investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

       Contributions
       -------------
<PAGE>

           Contributions from participants are recorded monthly when due from
       the Company.  Contributions by the Company are made monthly based on
       the minimum contribution percentage (20 percent) required by the Plan.
       Any additional contributions by the Company are accrued when approved
       by its Board of Directors.
<PAGE>

       Employee Withdrawals
       --------------------
         Withdrawals are recorded when payments are made to participants.
       Withdrawals requested but not paid are presented in Department of Labor
       Form 5500 (Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan) as liabilities.  The
       following schedule reconciles the withdrawal amounts per the Form 5500
       to the statement of changes in assets available for plan benefits:
