                           Independent Auditors' Report


The Shareholder
International Processing Corporation and
   International Transportation Service, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of International
Processing Corporation and International Transportation Service, Inc. and
subsidiary as of January 2, 1999 and January 3, 1998, and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined 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 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International
Processing Corporation and International Transportation Service, Inc. and
subsidiary as of January 2, 1999, and January 3, 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)     General

        (a)  Nature of Operations

        International Processing Corporation, Inc. ("IPC") manufactures and
        sells Dried Bakery Product, an animal-feed ingredient produced from
        grain-based food by-products.

        International Transportation  Service, Inc. ("ITS") is a common carrier
        primarily engaged in providing transportation services for IPC.

        Food By-Products Recycling, Inc. ("FBR"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
        ITS, acquires raw materials in the Chicago, Illinois metro area. This
        raw material is either sold to a third party or to its affiliate, IPC,
        for processing.

        IPC and ITS (collectively referred to as the "Companies") are both
        wholly-owned subsidiaries of Darling International Inc. ("Darling"). All
        of the outstanding common stock of the Companies was purchased by
        Darling on August 29, 1996 for a total purchase price of $30 million.

        (b) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        Unaudited Interim Combined Financial Statements - The financial
        statements as of April 3, 1999 and for the three month periods ended
        April 3, 1999 and April 4, 1998, were prepared on the same basis as the
        audited combined financial statements and, in the opinion of management,
        include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments
        necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results
        of operations for these periods. Operating results for the interim
        periods included herein are not necessarily indicative of the results
        that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information
        presented herein includes interim and annual operating results beginning
        with the year ended January 3, 1998, the first full annual period
        following the purchase of the Companies by Darling in August of 1996.

        Basis of Presentation - The combined financial statements include the
        accounts of the Companies and FBR. All significant intercompany balances
        and transactions have been eliminated in the combination. Darling's
        basis in the Companies has been "pushed down" in the preparation of the
        combined financial statements.

        Fiscal Year - The Companies have a 52/53 fiscal year ending on the
        December 31. Fiscal years for the combined financial statements included
        herein are for the 52 weeks ended January 2, 1999 ("Fiscal 1998") and
        the 53 weeks ended January 3, 1998 ("Fiscal 1997").

        Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
        Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

                    International Processing Corporation and
                   International Transportation Service, Inc.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements
             Fiscal Years Ended January 2, 1999 and January 3, 1998
              and the Three Months Ending April 3, 1999 (Unaudited)
                          and April 4, 1998 (Unaudited)
                                   (Continued)

        Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are
        recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method
        over the estimated useful lives of assets: (1) Buildings and
        improvements - 24 to 30 years; (2) Machinery and equipment - 3 to 8
        years; and (3) Vehicles - 4 to 6 years. Maintenance and repairs are
        charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for major renewals and
        improvements are capitalized.

        Collection Routes and Contacts - Collection routes, restrictive
        covenants and consulting agreements are recorded at cost and are
        amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to
        15 years.

        Goodwill - Represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value
        of net assets acquired, and was amortized on a straight-line basis over
        30 years. Annually, the Companies make an assessment to determine the
        recoverability of this intangible asset. See Note 7 for discussion of
        impairment loss recognized in Fiscal 1998.

        Income Taxes - The Companies account for income taxes using the asset
        and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax
        assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
        attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
        amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
        bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
        tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
        those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
        effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
        is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        Statements of Cash Flows - The Companies consider all short-term highly
        liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, to
        be cash equivalents.

        Use of Estimates - The preparation of the combined financial statements
        in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
        management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
        amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
        and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the
        reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
        Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
        of - The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable
        intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
        indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
        Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison
        of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to
        be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired,
        the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
        carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
        Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
        amount or fair value less costs to sell. See Note 7 for discussion of
        impairment loss recognized in fiscal 1998.

(7)     Impairment Loss

        During the fourth quarter 1998, Darling made the decision to dispose of
        the Companies as part of an effort to dispose of underperforming assets
        and sought investment banker's assistance in selling the assets of IPC
        and ITS. An offer, which was substantially below the then carrying
        values of the assets, was identified (see note 12 "Disposition of
        Assets"). Based upon this offer, the fair value of the Companies has
        been determined to be $19.2 million and as a result an impairment loss
        of $16.9 million has been recognized in Fiscal 1998. The impairment loss
        includes a charge against unamortized goodwill of $14.7 million and a
        charge against other intangibles of $2.2 million. Darling expects to
        complete the sale of the Companies within one year.

      In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
      considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
      the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax
      assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income,
      including reversal of taxable temporary differences, during the periods in
      which those temporary differences become deductible. At January 2, 1999,
      the Companies established a valuation allowance in order to reduce
      deferred tax assets to an amount meeting the more likely than not
      realization standard.

      At January 2, 1999, the Companies had net operating loss carryforwards for
      federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,300,000 which are
      available to offset future federal taxable income through 2013.

(9)   Employee Benefit Plans

      The Companies maintain a 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") under
      which substantially all employees, who are at least 21 years old and have
      one year of service, are eligible to participate. Participants are
      permitted to make contributions of their salary to the Plan on a pre-tax
      salary reduction basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k)
      of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Companies may match
      contributions of participants at the discretion of management. The
      participants' contribution vest immediately, while the Companies'
      contributions vest gradually over six years. The Companies' total
      contributions for the fiscal years ended January 2, 1999 and January 3,
      1998 were $42,000 and $33,000, respectively.

(10)    Related Party Transactions

        Transactions with Darling include utilization of cash management
        services under which net cash balances or requirements of the Companies
        are transferred to or provided by Darling daily.

        Darling provides certain corporate general and administrative services
        to the Companies, including legal, treasury and benefits administration,
        among others, for which no costs have been charged or allocated.
        Accordingly, the accompanying combined financial statements do not
        necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial position and
        cash flows of the Companies had they operated on a separate basis for
        the periods presented.

(11)    Commitments and Contingencies

        The Companies are defendants or plaintiffs in various legal actions
        which have arisen in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
        management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a
        materially adverse effect on the Companies' combined financial position,
        results of operations, or liquidity.

(12)    Disposition of Assets (Unaudited)

        Effective April 4, 1999, Darling sold all of the outstanding capital
        stock of the Companies to Scope Products, Inc., a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of Scope Industries. The sales price for the capital stock of
        the companies was $21.5 million, with an additional $.5 million payment
        for a non-compete covenant and transaction costs. The purchase price was
        paid in cash and was determined by agreement between both parties. The
        agreement provides for adjustments that may result in a reduction to the
        sales price.

                 INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                          COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



        The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
        statements have been prepared from the historical consolidated financial
        statements of Scope Industries (the "Registrant") and International
        Processing Corporation ("IPC") and International Transportation Service,
        Inc. ("ITS"). Through a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"),
        Scope Industries acquired through its wholly-owned subsidiary Scope
        Products, Inc. all of the outstanding shares of stock of IPC and ITS as
        of April 4, 1999. The purchase price of the stock is $21,500,000 plus
        transaction costs, in addition to $500,000 payment for a non-compete
        covenant. A purchase price adjustment defined by the Agreement and
        estimated to be $1,500,000 reduces the purchase price to approximately
        $20,000,000. This acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase
        method of accounting. The acquisition costs will be allocated among the
        net assets of IPC and ITS based upon their estimated fair values.

        The operations of IPC and ITS have been combined with Scope Industries
        operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and the twelve
        months ended June 30, 1998. For the results of operations for the nine
        month period ending March 31, 1999, the combined IPC's and ITS's
        operating results for the immediate six month period preceding the
        fiscal year period ending January 2, 1999 were combined with the three
        month period ended April 3, 1999. For the results of operations for the
        twelve month period ending June 30, 1998, IPC's and ITS's combined
        operating results for the immediate six month period preceding the
        fiscal year period ending January 3, 1998 were combined with the first
        six month period ended July 4, 1998.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect
        the adjustments necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with
        generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited pro forma
        condensed combined operating statements give effect to the combination
        as if it had occurred on July 1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma condensed
        combined balance sheet gives effect to the combination as if it occurred
        on March 31, 1999. The unaudited pro forma adjustments described in the
        accompanying notes reflect preliminary estimates and assumptions that
        management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data are not
        necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of the
        operations would have been had the combination actually occurred on the
        above mentioned dates. Additionally, they are not indicative of the
        future results of operations or financial position.

        Management is in the process of assessing and formulating its
        integration plans; however, the unaudited pro forma financial
        information does not include any synergy cost savings the combined
        company is expected to realize. Based on the finalization of the
        integration plan and other factors, the purchase accounting adjustments
        presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
        statements may differ materially from the actual final adjustments.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements should be read in
        conjunction with Scope Industries historical consolidated financial
        statements and notes thereto, which are included in Scope's Annual
        Report on Form 10-K, along with the IPC and ITS financial statements for
        the years ended January 2, 1999 and January 3, 1998 included herein.

                                 March 31, 1999


(1)     On April 4, 1999, the Registrant acquired 100% of the outstanding
        capital stock of IPC and ITS for a net sales price of $20.0 million,
        after a purchase price adjustment of approximately $1.5 million, plus
        transaction costs. The purchase agreement provided for a purchase price
        adjustment consisting of a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the purchase
        price measured by the excess of liabilities minus current assets as of
        the acquisition date. In addition to the $20.0 million, $.5 million was
        paid for a non-compete covenant. The purchase price was paid in cash and
        was determined by agreement between the Registrant and the stockholder
        of IPC and ITS (the "Seller"). The Registrant funded the purchase
        price with internally generated funds.

        The unaudited pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed
        combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31,
        1999 and the year ended June 30, 1998 give effect to the acquisition of
        IPC and ITS completed on April 4, 1999. The transactions are accounted
        for using the purchase method for business combinations as if each had
        occurred on July 1, 1997.

(2)     To reflect the purchase transaction.

         The following reflects the purchase accounting adjustments
           for the excess of purchase price over historical amounts
           of net assets acquired:
         Adjustment to fair value for collection routes
           and contracts                                         $ 2,379,000
         Adjustment to fair value for property, plant
           and equipment                                            (965,000)

         Total purchase accounting adjustments                   $   240,000
                                                                 ===========

        To reflect payment for non-compete covenant              $   500,000

</TABLE>

        (a) In addition to the recognized deferred income tax benefits and
        liabilities, an additional unrecognized income tax benefit of
        approximately $5.0 million is available to the Registrant in subsequent
        operating periods resulting from the tax deductions for goodwill
        amortization of approximately $13.2 million. In subsequent periods, the
        income tax benefit realized from goodwill amortization will first reduce
        the carrying value of collection routes and contracts until fully
        amortized, and secondly reduce income tax expense. The tax deduction for
        goodwill amortization will be available ratably over the next twelve
        years approximately.

(3)     To reflect the adjustment for the elimination of investment in IPC and
        ITS upon closing of the transaction.

(5)     To reflect the computation of income taxes on unaudited pro forma net
        income (loss) at the Registrant's estimated effective tax rate of 37.5%.
        The Registrant has not recognized any income tax benefit from the
        impairment loss incurred under prior ownership.

(6)     Impairment loss incurred under prior ownership consisting primarily of
        the unamortized carrying value of goodwill allocated by Darling as part
        of their 1996 purchase of the Companies.

(7)     Unaudited pro forma net income (loss) per common share is calculated by
        dividing unaudited pro forma net income (loss) by the weighted average
        common and common equivalent shares of the Registrant outstanding during
        the periods.
