       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



       1.  Restructuring Charges
           ---------------------
           Selling, general and administrative expenses included restructuring
       charges totaling $5.0 million ($3.9 million net of minority interest)
       for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 resulting from the adoption of
       a restructuring plan which shifted the marketing and administrative
       functions of Phosphate Chemicals Export Association, Inc. (formed to
       market concentrated phosphates internationally) to its member
       companies.

       2.  Environmental Matters
           ---------------------
           Operating earnings included provisions totaling $9.0 million ($5.1
       million net of minority interest) for the nine months ended March 31,
       1995 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 repair
       and cleanup costs related to an earthen dam breach at IMC-Agrico's
       Payne Creek and Hopewell phosphate mining facilities in Florida.  These
       charges were partially offset by a gain of $5.0 million from the sale
       of land in Florida in September 1994.

       3.  Write-Down of Investment in Oil and Gas Joint Venture
           ------------------------------------------------------
           Results for the nine months ended March 31, 1994 included a charge
       of $20.3 million from the write-down of the Company's investment in its
       oil and gas partnership.

       4.  Income Taxes
           ------------
           In 1994, the provision (credit) for income taxes included a first
       quarter 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 and a third quarter charge of $5.0 million to reflect a change in
       the annual effective tax rate due to an improved earnings outlook.

       5.  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.  Consequently,
       results for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 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 and nine months' earnings before the cumulative effect of the
       accounting change was not material.

       6.  Extraordinary Loss-Debt Retirement
           ----------------------------------
<PAGE>



           In connection with the purchase of portions of the Company's Senior
       Notes during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1995 and the
       fiscal 1994 purchase of $220 million of its 11.25 percent Notes, the
       Company recorded extraordinary charges, net of taxes, of $.7 million,
       $3.7 million and $23.8 million, respectively, for redemption premium
       incurred and write-off of previously deferred finance charges
       associated with such notes.

       7.  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 29,639,432 and 29,575,520 shares for the three and
       nine months ended March 31, 1995, respectively.  For the three and nine
       months ended March 31, 1994, shares and equivalent shares outstanding
       totaled 25,704,403 and 24,259,699 shares, respectively.  The above
       shares reflected common stock offerings of 3,450,000 and 4,000,000
       shares in October 1993 and May 1994, respectively.

       8.  Sale of Receivables
           -------------------
           In October 1994, IMC-Agrico entered into an agreement with a
       financial institution whereby it can sell, on an ongoing basis, up to
       $75.0 million of an undivided percentage interest in certain
       receivables, subject to limited recourse provisions.  At March 31,
       1995, IMC-Agrico had sold $56.0 million of such receivable interests.
       Related costs, charged to interest earned and other non-operating
       income and expense, net, totaled $.9 million and $1.5 million for the
       three and nine months ended March 31, 1995, respectively.  The
       Company's portion of the proceeds from the sale of receivable interests
       was used primarily to retire long-term debt.


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

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

       Three months ended March 31, 1995 vs. three months ended March 31, 1994
       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

           Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1995 totaled
       $45.0 million, or $1.52 per share, significantly higher than last
       year's third quarter when the Company reported net earnings of $5.4
       million, or $.21 per share.  This third quarter performance represents
       the highest quarterly net earnings since the Company was formed in
       1988.  Included in 1995 operating results was an extraordinary charge
       of $.7 million, or $.02 per share, related to the early extinguishment
       of debt.  In 1994, operating results included a charge of $5.0 million,
       or $.19 per share, to reflect a change in the annual effective tax rate
       due to an improved earnings outlook.

           Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $550.0
       million, a 34 percent increase over 1994 when sales were $410.5
       million.  Record purchases of concentrated phosphates and potash by
       China continued to be filled during the quarter.  In addition,
<PAGE>



       shipments under a fiscal 1995 long-term phosphate rock supply contract
       also helped contribute to the overall sales increase.

           Gross margins increased $72.3 million from last year's third
       quarter primarily due to higher margins for concentrated phosphates, a
       $49 million increase, potash, a $13 million increase, and phosphate
       rock, a $4 million increase.

           Concentrated phosphate margins increased primarily as a result of
       higher prices ($63 million) as average diammonium phosphate (DAP)
       prices increased 21 percent over year-earlier levels.  Other
       concentrated phosphate products showed similar price improvements.
       Recently, DAP prices have declined but still remain strong.  Future
       price levels will depend upon the domestic planting season and
       continued export demand.  Likewise, sales volume increased ($15
       million) primarily due to export shipping demand which increased 39
       percent from the same period a year ago.  Partially offsetting these
       increases were higher production costs ($29 million) primarily due to
       higher raw material costs.  Currently, all concentrated phosphate
       production facilities, with the exception of Taft, are operating at
       full production capacity.  On May 8, 1995, IMC-Agrico suspended
       operations at its Taft, Louisiana, concentrated phosphate production
       facility subject to improved market conditions.  The decision to halt
       production was made in order to balance production levels with market
       requirements and to ensure inventory levels are adequate to meet
       customers' near-term needs.

           Potash margins increased as a result of higher prices ($5 million)
       and sales volume ($4 million) as average potash prices and volume
       increased 7 percent and 12 percent, respectively, over the same period
       a year ago.  The increased sales volume was almost entirely due to
       higher export shipments, primarily to China.  In addition, production
       costs were $4 million lower due to lower water inflow spending.

           Phosphate rock margins increased due primarily to increased sales
       volume, up 36 percent or $2 million.  In addition, production costs
       were $2 million lower as all operating plants were at full capacity.

           The following table summarizes the Company's sales of crop nutrient
       products and average selling prices for the three months ended March
       31, 1995 and 1994:

        Average price per ton                  $62.24                 $58.36

           Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million
       over the same period a year ago primarily due to increased legal
       expenses and higher accruals associated with long-term compensation
       plans.

           Other operating income and expense for the three months ended March
       31, 1995 included $.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 1994, other operating income
       and expense included $3.6 million of such amortization.

           Interest charges for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were
       $7.7 million lower than last year which reflected management's
       continuing efforts to reduce high-cost, long-term indebtedness prior to
       maturity.


       Nine months ended March 31, 1995 vs. nine months ended March 31, 1994
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------

           Net earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 totaled $85.8
       million, or $2.90 per share, up significantly over last year when the
       Company reported a net loss of $44.5 million, or $1.83 per share.

           Included in 1995 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
       $3.7 million, or $.12 per share, related to the early extinguishment of
       debt.  In 1994, the loss included an extraordinary charge of $23.8
       million, or $.98 per share, related to the early extinguishment of
       debt, a charge of $20.3 million, $12.4 million after taxes, or $.51 per
       share, related to the write-down of the Company's investment in an oil
       and gas joint venture, a charge of $4.1 million, or $.17 per share, for
       an adjustment to the Company's net deferred tax liability for the
       effect of changes in U.S. corporate tax rates, and a charge of $5.0
       million, or .21 per share, to reflect a change in the annual effective
       tax rate due to an improved earnings outlook.  See Notes to Condensed
       Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these non-
       recurring items.

           Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 were $1,422.6
       million, a 41 percent increase over 1994 when sales were $1,005.9
       million.  The Company continued to benefit from record purchases of
       potash and concentrated phosphates by China.  This, along with
       continued strong domestic crop nutrient demand, contributed
       significantly to this increase.

           Gross margins increased $221.7 million from the same period a year
       ago, primarily due to higher margins for concentrated phosphates, a
       $175 million increase, potash, a $32 million increase, phosphate rock,
       a $3 million increase, and mixed goods, a $3 million increase.

           Concentrated phosphate margins have increased significantly
       primarily due to higher prices ($182 million) and volume ($48 million)
<PAGE>



       as average DAP prices increased 29 percent over the same period a year
       ago.  In addition, sales volume increased 22 percent reflecting record
       purchases by China.  These factors, along with continued strong
       domestic crop nutrient demand, have until recently decreased domestic
       inventory levels resulting in higher prices.  Partially offsetting the
       price and volume increases were higher production costs ($55 million)
       primarily due to higher raw material costs and a charge resulting from
       remediation costs associated with a sinkhole described in Note 2 of
       Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

           Potash margins also increased primarily due to higher sales volume
       ($14 million) as export shipments rose 70 percent, reflecting record
       potash purchases by China.  In addition, domestic potash shipments rose
       12 percent over last year.  This has resulted in lower producer
       inventory levels and higher prices ($10 million) as supply has
       tightened.  Production costs were lower ($8 million) due primarily to
       lower water inflow control spending.

           Phosphate rock margins increased primarily due to increased sales
       volume and prices ($7 million), mostly due to the addition of a new
       long-term supply contract to fiscal 1995 operating results.  Partially
       offsetting the increase were higher production costs ($4 million) as
       excessive rainfalls in Florida early in the first half of fiscal 1995
       affected phosphate rock production levels.  In addition, costs were
       incurred in the startup of the Company's previously idled Payne Creek
       mine, while repair and cleanup costs associated with an earthen dam
       breach at the Company's Payne Creek and Hopewell phosphate mining
       facilities in Florida also contributed to higher costs.

           Mixed goods margins increased primarily due to increased prices ($4
       million) and sales volume ($2 million), partially offset by higher
       production costs ($3 million) resulting from higher raw material costs.

           The following table summarizes the Company's sales of crop nutrient
       products and average selling prices for the nine months ended March 31,
       1995 and 1994:

       discussed in Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
       Statements.

           Other operating income and expense for the nine months ended March
       31, 1995 included a gain of $5.0 million from the sale of land in
       Florida and $2.1 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 1994, other operating income
       and expense included $11.4 million of such amortization.

           Interest charges for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 were
       $22.2 million lower than last year which reflected management's efforts
       to reduce high-cost, long-term indebtedness prior to maturity.



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

           Since June 30, 1994, cash and cash equivalents have decreased $28.8
       million.  Primary uses of cash included $181.4 million of cash sharing
       distributions to Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited
       Partnership (FRP), $132.1 million to purchase portions of the Company's
       outstanding Senior Notes and $38.9 million of capital expenditures.
       Partially offsetting these cash outflows was $324.1 million generated
       by operating activities which included $56.0 million from the sale of
       receivable interests discussed below.

           The Company's working capital ratio at March 31, 1995 was 2.2
       versus 2.6 at June 30, 1994 and declined primarily due to the sale of
       receivable interests discussed in Note 8 of Notes to Condensed
       Consolidated Financial Statements.  Debt to total capitalization
       improved to 43.1 percent at March 31, 1995 compared to 63.5 percent a
       year ago and 51.3 percent at June 30, 1994.

           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 March 31, 1995, $29.7 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 March 31, 1995.

           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 March 31, 1995, $12.4 million
       was drawn down in the form of letters of credit.  There were no other
       borrowings under this agreement at March 31, 1995.

          In October 1994, IMC-Agrico entered into an agreement with a
       financial institution whereby it can sell, on an ongoing basis, up to
       $75.0 million of an undivided percentage interest in certain
       receivables, subject to limited recourse provisions.  At March 31,
       1995, IMC-Agrico had sold $56.0 million of such receivable interests.
       The Company's portion of the proceeds from the sale of receivable
       interests was used primarily to retire long-term debt.
<PAGE>



           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 March 31, 1995, both the Company and
       IMC-Agrico were in compliance with all of the covenants in the
       indentures and other agreements governing their indebtedness.

           IMC-Agrico makes cash distributions to each partner based on
       formulas and sharing ratios as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
       For the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the total amount of
       Distributable Cash generated by IMC-Agrico was $378.9 million, of which
       $205.9 million was distributed to FRP, including $46.7 million
       subsequent to March 31, 1995.

           Capital expenditures for the year ending June 30, 1995 are
       estimated to total $66 million (including $48 million by IMC-Agrico).
       The Company believes that its current liquidity position, its cash flow
       from operations and available borrowings under the Company's credit
       facilities should be sufficient to meet its working capital needs and
       expansion of its operations in the near term.

           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 nine months
       ended March 31, 1994 would have been $32.8 million, or $1.11 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 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


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

           IMC-Agrico has experienced concentrations of groundwater
       contaminants in a cooling pond at the New Wales concentrated phosphate
       production facility.  Concentrations of such contaminants had been
       slowly dropping and approaching permitted levels following the plugging
       of 12 former recharge wells located beneath the cooling pond.  However,
       in June 1994, concentration levels increased significantly when a large
       hole was discovered atop the New Wales phosphogypsum stack, believed to
       have been caused by a sinkhole beneath the stack.  Failure to reach
       permitted levels could potentially result in the incurrence of
       substantial expenditures to line or relocate the cooling pond.

           Initial grouting operations to plug the sinkhole have been
       completed and concentration levels have dropped significantly.
       However, concentrations are currently in excess of permitted levels.
<PAGE>



       Because IMC-Agrico is pumping water from the aquifer to use at the New
       Wales facility, it is believed that the contamination believed to be
       caused by the sinkhole is confined to company property.  IMC-Agrico 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.

           In November 1994, the earthen wall of a settling pond at one of
       IMC-Agrico's phosphate rock mining facilities in Florida was breached,
       allowing water to flow onto neighboring property, including streams.
       Corrective action was promptly taken and remedial measures are also
       being taken.  An investigation into the incident is presently being
       conducted in cooperation with environmental agencies.  This breach was
       the second such incident at Company facilities in 1994; the earlier
       incident, also in Florida, involved the release of water onto Company
       property and property of a corporate neighbor, plus lesser amounts into
       streams.

       Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION


       Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

           Pursuant to certain agreements between the Company and its former
       parent company, Mallinckrodt Group Inc. (Mallinckrodt), the Company has
       agreed to indemnify Mallinckrodt 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 (i)
       the matters discussed in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K
       (the 1994 Form 10-K), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
       ended September 30, 1994 (the First Quarter 10-Q), and Quarterly Report
       on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 (the Second
       Quarter 10-Q), and (ii) the matters discussed below, certain of which
       matters were previously discussed in greater detail in the Company's
       1994 Form 10-K, First Quarter 10-Q and Second Quarter 10-Q, none of the
       litigation pending or known to be threatened at this time is regarded
       by the Company as potentially material.

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

           In connection with the Company's previously disclosed Texas
       litigation (Texas Action) relating to the May 1991 explosion at a
       nitroparaffins plant located in Sterlington, Louisiana, the Texas Court
       of Appeals reversed an earlier decision of the trial judge.  The Texas
       Court of Appeals has ruled that under Texas law, the April 1,1993
       settlement agreement (Settlement Agreement) discussed in the 1994 Form
       10-K between the Company and Angus Chemical Company (Angus) released
       the insurers of the Company to the same extent that it released the
       Company.  The Texas Court of Appeals entered judgment on this issue for
       the Company on February 2, 1995.  On February 17, 1995, Angus filed a
       motion for a rehearing with the Texas Court of Appeals.  The Texas
       Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on this motion.
<PAGE>



           On June 19, 1995, the trial court in the Texas Action is scheduled
       to hear the parties' pending motions for summary judgment which the
       previous trial judge did not rule on before leaving the bench.
       Pursuant to the trial court's current scheduling order, a jury trial is
       scheduled to commence on October 9, 1995, on the parties' respective
       claims for contribution and indemnity and the Company's claims to
       reform the Settlement Agreement.

           Angus has now served the lawsuit it filed in Louisiana against the
       Company and two of its excess liability insurers (discussed in the 1994
       Form 10-K) seeking damages in addition to the amounts paid pursuant to
       the Settlement Agreement.  This case has been assigned to the same
       judge as was assigned to the class action lawsuits pending against the
       Company in Louisiana.

       Angus Environmental Litigation
       ------------------------------

           On February 17, 1995, Angus Chemical Company filed a complaint
       against the Company, IMC Global Operations Inc. and Mallinckrodt (known
       collectively as the Defendants) pursuant to the Comprehensive
       Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) in the
       United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
       According to the complaint, Angus' Sterlington, Louisiana
       nitroparaffins plant (NP Plant) included a storage tank (Tank G-62S),
       which was constructed in approximately 1949 and was used for the
       storage of, among other things, 2 nitropropane.  Angus alleges that
       commencing in 1991 it has incurred approximately $1.4 million in
       response costs in excavating, transporting and disposing of 3,609 tons
       of soil allegedly containing 2 nitropropane.

           The complaint further alleges that prior to February 28, 1992, the
       Defendants' operation of the NP Plant allowed hazardous substances
       within the meaning of CERCLA to be released into the environment in the
       vicinity of the tank.

           The Company and Mallinckrodt have until May 18, 1995 to respond to
       the complaint.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter;
       however, given that this litigation is in its early stages of discovery
       and due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation, no assurances can
       be given that the Company will prevail in this matter.

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

           Discovery has begun in the previously disclosed potash antitrust
       action filed in federal court in Minnesota against U.S. potash
       producers, including the Company, following certification of a class of
       all direct U.S. potash purchasers as plaintiffs.
