                         Report of Independent Auditors

Administrative Committee
UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net 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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net 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 financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995 and reportable transactions
for the year then ended are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rule and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part
of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1995 financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the 1995 financial statements taken as a whole.


                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                          Notes to Financial Statements



1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Growth & Income Fund,
Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio, Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market
Fund, Fidelity Contrafund and Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund are reported
at current redemption value. The United Industrial Corporation Common Stock is
reported at market value, based on published market prices.

The change in the difference between cost and market value is reflected in the
statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits as net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the aggregate fair value of
investments. The net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference
between the proceeds and the specific cost of the investments.

Rollover contributions represent transfers from other qualified retirement
plans.

Administrative expenses associated with the UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
(the "Plan"), including the amount paid to Fidelity Management Trust Co. for
acting as custodian of the investments of the Plan, were paid by United
Industrial Corporation (the "Company") in 1995 and 1994.

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 increases and decreases in net assets during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage
employees to save regularly and to provide additional funds upon retirement.
Contributions are made by employees through payroll deductions and submitted to
Fidelity Management Trust Company Cash Reserve Fund, then subsequently deposited
in the investment option account(s) selected by the employee. The Company
matches employees' contributions and has a profit sharing provision as specified
in the Plan document. Employer contributions are vested after five years of
service. The Company is the named fiduciary which controls and manages the
operations of the Plan and acts as Administrator.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

All employees aged 21 or more who have completed six months of continuous
employment and worked over 1,000 hours with the Company (including its
participating subsidiaries) are eligible to participate in the Plan.
Participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in
amounts ranging from 2% to 15% of their earnings up to a limit of $9,240 for
1995 and 1994, respectively. Contributions to the Plan are invested in the
available investment options in accordance with the participants' elections. All
employee contributions to the Plan are immediately vested.

The Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of a
termination, the participants accounts shall be distributed to them in cash or
in property or in any combination of cash and property.

Information about the Plan and the vesting and benefit provisions is contained
in the Summary Plan Description of the Plan. Copies are available from the Human
Resources Department of the Company.

3. INVESTMENTS

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's
net assets available for Plan benefits was as follows:

Fidelity Growth & Income Fund           5,945,845     2,988,589

4. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan by a letter
dated January 16, 1996 that the Plan and related trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and is
therefore not subject to tax under present income tax laws. The Plan sponsor
believes that the Plan continues to qualify and operate as designed.
