INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
International Processing Corporation and
   International Transportation Service, Inc.:


We have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet  of  International
Processing   Corporation  and  International   Transportation   Services,   Inc.
(collectively, the "Companies") as of December 31, 1995 and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the Companies'
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the combined financial position of the Companies at December 31, 1995
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING CORPORATION, INC. AND
                   INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICE, INC.


NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
(Information as of August 29, 1996 and for the fiscal  eight-months ended August
29, 1996 and August 27, 1995 is unaudited)


 1.   BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

      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.

      On December 27,  1993,  Atlanta  Processing  B ("APB") and its  affiliated
      companies  and  International  Bakerage,  Inc.  ("IB") and its  affiliated
      company merged with each  predecessor  shareholder  group  receiving a 50%
      interest in IPC and ITS. The merger has been accounted  similar to a joint
      venture based on the historical costs of the predecessor companies.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      ACCOUNTING  PERIODS - Accounting  periods are 52-53 week periods ending on
      the last  Sunday in  December.  The fiscal  year ended  December  31, 1995
      contained 53 weeks. Fiscal months are four- or five-week periods ending on
      the last Sunday in each month.

      COMBINATION  -  International  Processing  Corporation  and  International
      Transportation  Service,  Inc.  (collectively,  the  "Companies"),  having
      common ownership and significant business interdependence, are included in
      these  combined  financial  statements.   All  intercompany  balances  and
      transactions have been eliminated in combination.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The  preparation of 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 financial  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from
      those estimates.

      CASH AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS  - For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
      the Companies  consider all highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
      maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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

      PROPERTY,  PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant, and equipment is stated
      at cost.  Depreciation is generally computed on a straight-line basis over
      the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 40 years.

      INTANGIBLE  ASSETS -  Intangible  assets,  which  principally  consist  of
      noncompete agreements,  are amortized over their contractual lives ranging
      from one to six years.

      INCOME  TAXES - IPC  elected to be treated as an S  Corporation  under the
      Internal Revenue Code ("IRC");  therefore, no provision for federal income
      taxes has been  recorded.  State income taxes have been  provided only for
      states not  recognizing  the S  Corporation  status.  ITS and FBR have not
      elected to be treated as an S  Corporations  under the IRC. The  Companies
      provide deferred taxes resulting from timing differences between financial
      and taxable income, as applicable.

      UNAUDITED  INTERIM FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS - The financial  statements as of
      August 29, 1996 and for the fiscal  eight months ended August 29, 1996 and
      August 27, 1995 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.


3.    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

      In April 1994,  FBR entered into a six-year  contractual  arrangement on a
      post-petition basis with We-Toast, a nonrelated entity, which emerged from
      bankruptcy in June 1994.  Under the agreement,  FBR sells raw materials to
      We-Toast which processes the raw materials and sells the finished  product
      in the  marketplace.  We-Toast's  customers are  instructed to remit their
      payments  directly to the Companies.  The Companies apply a portion of the
      receipts  to  balances  due the  Companies  and  remit the  difference  to
      We-Toast.  At December 31, 1995, the Companies had trade  receivables from
      the sale of raw materials to We-Toast of $89,000 and notes  receivable and
      other advances of $735,000 (the noncurrent portion of $244,000 is included
      in other assets). The notes provide for interest at 2% over the prime rate
      and  mature  in  years  1997 to  1999.  All  receivables  are  secured  by
      We-Toast's   property,   plant,  and  equipment  which  is  considered  by
      management  to have value to the  Companies  in excess of the amounts due.
      During  1995,  owners of We-Toast  disputed  certain of the  amounts  due.
      Management   believes  all  amounts  are   collectible  and  the  ultimate
      resolution  will not have a material  effect on the  Companies'  financial
      position.


4.    INVENTORIES

      Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                                 August 29,

      materially adverse effect on the Companies' financial position, results of
      operations, or liquidity.

      LEASES - The Companies leases certain production facilities and equipment.

      base lease terms of 36 to 48 months.  At December 31, 1995,  the Companies
      had utilized $313,637 of the line of credit. Availability of the remaining
      line of credit expires in June 1996. The line of credit agreement contains
      an early termination provision at the one-year anniversary date.


 8.   LINE OF CREDIT

      The Companies have a line of credit  arrangement  with a bank which allows
      the  Companies  to borrow up to  $2,000,000  at the  prime  rate  (8.5% at
      December 31, 1995). At December 31, 1995,  $506,210 was  outstanding.  The
      principal  is due in May 1996,  while the  interest is paid  monthly.  The
      Companies are subject to certain  financial and operating  covenants under
      the credit arrangement  including  maintenance of certain financial ratios
      and  restrictions on the payment of dividends.  The line is secured by the
      Companies' assets, excluding real property.

            Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements (unaudited)
                                  August 29, 1996

 1.  HISTORICAL

     The historical  balances represent  the  financial position  and results of
     operations of Darling International Inc.  ("Registrant") and  International
     Processing Corporation ("IPC")  and  International Transportation  Service,
     Inc. ("ITS") for each of the indicated dates and periods.


 2.  PURCHASE ACQUISITIONS

     The  pro  forma  adjustments  in   the  pro  forma  condensed  consolidated
     statement of operations  for the eight months ended August 29, 1996 and the
     year ended December 31, 1995 give effect to the  acquisition of IPC and ITS
     completed on August 29, 1996 which are  considered to be  significant.  The
     transactions  are  accounted  for using the  purchase  method for  business
     combinations as if each had occurred on January 1, 1995.

     On August 29, 1996, Darling International Inc. (the "Registrant")  acquired
     100%  of  the  outstanding   capital  stock  of  International   Processing
     Corporation ("IPC") and International Transportation Service, Inc. ("ITS")
     for $30.0  million.  The purchase price was paid in cash and was determined
     by agreement  between the Registrant and IPC, ITS and the  stockholders  of
     IPC and ITS (the  "Sellers").  The  Registrant  funded $29.6 million of the
     purchase price with funds financed under the Acquisition  Facility pursuant
     to the Credit  Agreement among the  Registrant,  The First National Bank of
     Boston,  as agent,  and Harris Trust and Savings  Bank,  as  co-agent.  The
     remaining $400,000 of the purchase price was funded out of cash on hand.


 3.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     The  proforma  adjustments  reflected in the pro forma  combined  financial
     statements give effect to the following:

     Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

      a) To  reflect  the  repayment  of  debt  of  IPC at  the  closing  of the
         acquisition  with cash on hand and cash  available  through the line of
         credit of the Registrant.

      b)  To reflect the acquisition debt incurred by the Registrant to fund the
          purchase price.

      c)  To  reflect  the  adjustment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  to
          replacement cost.

      d)  To reflect the following intangible assets:

          (1)  Goodwill with an amortization period of 30 years.

          (2)  Routes and customer contracts with an average life of 15 years.

      e)  To reflect the adjustment for the elimination of investment in IPC and
          ITS upon closing of the acquisitions.

      f)  To reflect the management agreement to previous shareholders assumed
          by the Registrant.


     Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

      a) To reflect  adjustments to depreciation  and amortization to record the
         amortization of goodwill and routes and customer  contracts recorded in
         connection with the Purchase Acquisition.

      b)  To eliminate management fee paid to previous shareholders.

      c)  To reflect interest  expense on  debt issued or assumed  in connection
          with acquired companies.

      d)  To reflect the computation of income taxes on pro forma net income at
          the Registrant's effective rate.


 4.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Pro forma net income per common share is  calculated  by dividing pro forma
     net income by the weighted average common and common  equivalent  shares of
     the Registrant outstanding during the periods.
