                    UNITED INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


     Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

     March 31, 1994


     Note A - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
     been prepared  in accordance with generally  accepted accounting principles
     for  interim financial information and  with the instructions  to Form 10-Q
     and  Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
     the  information and  footnotes required  by generally  accepted accounting
     principles  for  complete  financial   statements.    In  the  opinion   of
     management, all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
     results for the three month period ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
     31, 1994.   For further  information, refer to  the consolidated  financial
     statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.


     Note B - Restructuring Charge 

     The Consolidated  Condensed Statement of  Operations for  the three  months
     ended March 31, 1993 includes a restructuring charge of $23  million ($14.7
     million or $1.20  per share, net of income tax benefit).  The charge covers
     the  anticipated   cost  of   organizational  and  product   line  changes,
     consolidation of facilities, and work force reductions of approximately 300
     at AAI  and its  four subsidiaries.   A  major portion  of the charge  will
     result from  the curtailment of operations of AAI/MICROFLITE in Binghamton,
     New York,  due  to lack  of  significant new  orders.   AAI/MICROFLITE  was
     acquired  in  1991.    During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1993,
     AAI/MICROFLITE sales  amounted to $132,000,  and losses were  $1,492,000 or
     $.12  per  share.    At  March 31,  1994,  the  restructuring  program  was
     substantially completed and  only $750,000 related to the consolidation and
     discontinuation of certain manufacturing activities, had not been expended.

     Note C - Assets Held for Sale

     Assets  held  for  sale  of  $4,014,000  and  $5,439,000  included  on  the
     consolidated  balance  sheet  at March  31,  1994  and  December 31,  1993,
     respectively, relate  to the remaining assets  of AAI/MICROFLITE, including
     the  office/manufacturing complex.  The company has entered into agreements
     to  sell these assets and such transactions  are expected to be consummated
     in 1994.   


     Note D - Dividends

     A quarterly dividend of $.07 per share is payable May 27, 1994.

     Note E - Change in Method of Accounting for Income Taxes

     Effective  January 1,  1993, the  Company adopted  FASB Statement  No. 109,
     decreasing net loss by $13.9 million  or $1.13 per share.  Deferred federal
     income  taxes -  current  was reduced  $16.4  million and  non-current  was
     increased $2.5  million.  The  effect of the  change of net  income for the
     three months ending  March 31, 1993 was not material.   Deferred income tax
     balance at March 31, 1994, consists of:

     Note F -  Change in Method of Accounting for  Postretirement Benefits Other
     Than Pensions

     Effective  January 1,  1993  the Company  adopted  FASB Statement  No.  106
     increasing net loss by $12.9 million or $1.05 per share.  The liability for
     accumulated  postretirement benefit obligation is $20 million.  The cost of
     providing  postretirement benefits under the new accrual method amounted to
     $204,000 ($.02  per  share) and  $408,000 ($.03  per share)  for the  three
     months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.


     Note G - Legal Proceedings

     The Company,  along with various  other parties,  has been  named in  three
     claims  (including  two tort  claims, one  of  which alleges  class action)
     relating to environmental matters based on allegations partially related to
     a  predecessor's operations.  These tort actions seek recovery for personal
     injury and property damage among other damages.

     The company owned and  operated a small facility at a site  in the State of
     Arizona  that manufactured semi-conductors between 1959 and 1960.  All such
     operations  of the Company were sold prior to 1962.  This facility may have
     used  trichloroethylene  ("TCE") in  small quantities.   However,  to date,
     there is no evidence that this facility released or disposed of TCE at this
     site.
                                         5<PAGE>
<PAGE>



     On May  18, 1993,  the  State of  Arizona filed  suit  against the  Company
     seeking the recovery  of investigative costs, injunctive  relief to require
     the  company to perform a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study, and
     ultimately  to  require the  remediation  of alleged  soil  and groundwater
     contamination at  and near a certain  industrial site.  In  response to the
     State's  claim the  Company  filed  a  third  party  complaint  that  seeks
     contribution from seventy-five identified possible responsible parties that
     are believed to have used solvents on and around the company's former site.


     Management intends  to vigorously contest  these actions and  believes that
     the resolution of these actions will not be material to the Company.
       
     The Company  is involved in various  other law suits and  claims, including
     certain  other environmental matters, arising  out of the  normal course of
     its  business.   In  the  opinion of  management,  the  ultimate amount  of
     liability,  if any,  under pending  litigation, including  claims described
     above,  will not  have  a materially  adverse  effect on  the  consolidated
     financial position of the Company.   


     Note H - Acquisitions

     On January 18, 1994,  the Company purchased all  the outstanding shares  of
     Symtron Systems, Inc. (Symtron), a producer of fire training simulators for
     the  military and commercial  markets.  The  purchase price  consists of an
     initial  payment  of  $1,500,000,  assumption  of  certain  liabilities  of
     approximately $5,900,000 and contingent payments, not to exceed $1,500,000,
     based on the  net worth at specified dates and  future profits on contracts
     existing  at the acquisition  date.   Additionally, contingent  amounts are
     payable  if certain pretax profits,  as defined in  the purchase agreement,
     are  earned for each of the  years in the five  year period ending December
     31, 1998.  As of  December 31, 1993, the company had deposited  $500,000 in
     an escrow account  in anticipation  of this acquisition.   Funds  generated
     from operations and an existing line of credit were utilized to finance the
     purchase of Symtron.

     The  acquisition is  to be accounted  for as  a purchase,  accordingly, the
     operations  of Symtron  will be  included in  the company's  1994 financial
     statements. 

     The  balance sheet  of  Symtron  has  been  included  in  the  Consolidated
     Condensed Balance Sheet.


     NOTE I - Credit Arrangements

     AAI has borrowed $4,000,000 under $30 million credit  facility at March 31,
     1994  and has  letters of credit  outstanding of  approximately $6,838,000.
     This  credit facility, which expired  April 30, 1994,  has been renewed for
     $5,000,000 and an additional 60 days.  Management expects to refinance this
     facility  with other  lenders.   The  terms  of such  financing,  including
     interest rates,  guarantees and covenants,  may differ from  those provided
     for under this credit facility.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
      and Results of Operations


     Net sales for the first quarter of 1994  were $7,323,000 lower than for the
     prior year.  Sales decreased in all segments.  Symtron  sales of $1,100,000
     are included.

     The net loss for the prior  period quarter includes a restructuring  charge
     at the AAI  Corporation subsidiary of $23 million ($14.7  million, or $1.20
     per share  net of income tax  benefit).  The charge  covers the anticipated
     cost  of  organizational and  product-line  changes,  the consolidation  of
     facilities, and work  force reductions of approximately 300  in AAI and its
     four subsidiaries.   A major  portion of  the charge will  result from  the
     curtailment  of operations of AAI/MICROFLITE in Binghamton, New York due to
     lack  of  significant new  orders.   AAI/MICROFLITE  was acquired  in 1991.
     Predominately a defense contractor, AAI is in the process of realigning its
     business to become  more competitive  in the marketplace  with its  current
     customers and to enter new non-DOD markets.  Net income included a loss  of
     $1,492,000  ($.12 per  share), from  operations  of AAI/MICROFLITE,  in the
     first quarter of 1993.

     The cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased from 86.4 in 1993 to 76.1
     in 1994, primarily  due to the recognition of  losses of approximately $5.7
     million on certain long-term contracts in the prior year.

     Cash and cash equivalents  decreased by $2,217,000 from December  31, 1993.
     See  Consolidated Condensed  Statement  of Cash  Flows.   The restructuring
     charge  ($23 million),  the  accumulated postretirement  benefit obligation
     ($20 million) and  the change in the deferred federal income taxes due to a
     change in accounting method ($13.9 million) are non-cash items in the first
     quarter of 1993 and are included in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of
     Cash  Flows as adjustments to reconcile net  income to net cash provided or
     used in operating activities.

     AAI has  borrowed $4,000,000 under $30 million credit facility at March 31,
     1994 and  has letters of  credit outstanding  of approximately  $6,838,000.
     This credit  facility, which expired April  30, 1994, has been  renewed for
     $5,000,000 and an additional 60 days.  Management expects to refinance this
     facility  with other  lenders.   The  terms  of such  financing,  including
     interest  rates, guarantees and  covenants, may differ  from those provided
     for under this credit facility.

     Effective January 1, 1993  the Company adopted FASB Statement No.  109 (see
     Note  B of the Condensed Financial  Statement) decreasing net loss by $13.9
     million or  $1.13 per share.   Deferred federal income taxes  - current was
     reduced $16.4 million and non-current was increased $2.5 million.

     Effective January 1,  1993 the Company adopted FASB Statement  No. 106 (see
     Note B of the Condensed  Financial Statement) increasing net loss by  $12.9
     million or $1.05 per  share.  The liability for  accumulated postretirement
     benefit obligation is $20.4 million and $20 million, for the periods ending
     March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
