                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ARTRA  Group  Incorporated  and  its  majority-owned  subsidiaries  (hereinafter
"ARTRA" or the "Company")  principally operate in two industry segments as: 1) a
manufacturer of packaging products principally serving the food industry; and 2)
a designer  and  distributor  of  popular-priced  fashion  costume  jewelry  and
accessories.  The  packaging  products  business is conducted  by the  Company's
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Bagcraft  Corporation  of America  ("Bagcraft").  The
jewelry  business in 1995 is conducted by the 62.6% owned  subsidiary,  The Lori
Corporation ("Lori"), through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries Lawrence Jewelry
Corporation ("Lawrence") and Rosecraft, Inc. ("Rosecraft").

The Company's  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements are presented on a
going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the  realization  of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
the  Company,  the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
reflect  all  normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  to  present  fairly the
financial  position  as of June 29,  1995,  and the  results of  operations  and
changes in cash flows for the periods ended June 29, 1995 and June 30, 1994. The
Company has  suffered  recurring  losses from  operations  and has a net capital
deficiency. As a result of these factors, the Company has experienced difficulty
in obtaining adequate financing to replace certain current credit  arrangements,
certain  of  which  are in  default,  to fund  its debt  service  and  liquidity
requirements in 1995. These factors raise  substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See Note
7, Notes  Payable,  and Note 8, Long Term Debt,  for further  discussion  of the
status of credit  arrangements  and  restrictions  on the  ability of  operating
subsidiaries to fund ARTRA corporate obligations.  Due to its limited ability to
receive operating funds from its operating subsidiaries,  ARTRA has historically
met its operating  expenditures with funds generated by such alternative sources
as private  placements of ARTRA common  stock,  sales of ARTRA common stock with
put options,  loans from  officers/directors  and private investors,  as well as
through sales of assets and/or other equity  infusions.  ARTRA plans to continue
to seek  such  alternative  sources  of  funds  to  meet  its  future  operating
expenditures.

On July 31, 1995,  ARTRA and  Bagcraft,  entered into a letter of intent to sell
the business assets,  subject to the buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities,
of Bagcraft's wholly-owned Arcar Graphics, Inc. ("Arcar") subsidiary. Arcar is a
manufacturer and distributor of waterbase inks. The purchase price shall be cash
of  $21,000,000  payable  at  closing  and the  buyer's  assumption  of  certain
liabilities.  Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain  conditions,
including  performance  of the buyer's due diligence,  buyer's  financing of the
acquisition  and  negotiation of a definitive  asset purchase  agreement.  ARTRA
expects to use the net proceeds to pay down certain debt  obligations,  with the
balance to be used for working capital.

In June 1995 ARTRA entered into an agreement to settle  amounts due ARTRA by the
former  Welch  Vacuum   Technology   ("Welch")   subsidiary  under  terms  of  a
noncompetition  agreement and a  subordinated  note in the  principal  amount of
$2,500,000  received  by ARTRA  as part of the  proceeds  from the 1989  sale of
Welch. Per terms of the settlement agreement,  ARTRA received cash of $3,000,000
and a  subordinated  note in the principal  amount of $640,000  payable June 30,
2001.  The cash proceeds were used for a $2,500,000  reduction of amounts due on
certain  ARTRA bank  notes,  with the  remainder  used for working  capital.  In
conjunction  with this  transaction,  ARTRA entered into a letter agreement with
the bank  whereby  the bank  agreed to not to  exercise  any of its  rights  and
remedies with respect to amounts due the bank under its ARTRA notes (see Note 7)
and certain obligations of ARTRA's president, Peter R. Harvey. In exchange for a
payment of  $5,700,000,  to be paid with ARTRA's  share of the proceeds from the
sale of Arcar,  the bank agreed to  discharge  all amounts due the bank by ARTRA
and to sell the  obligations  of Peter R.  Harvey  due the bank to  ARTRA.  Upon
consummation of this  transaction,  ARTRA will recognize a gain on the discharge
of this indebtedness.

ARTRA intends to continue to negotiate with its creditors to extend due dates to
allow  ARTRA to  maximize  value  from  possible  sale of assets  and to explore
various other sources of funding to meet its future operating  expenditures.  If
ARTRA is unable to  negotiate  extensions  with its  creditors  and complete the
above mentioned  transactions,  ARTRA could suffer severe adverse  consequences,
and as a  result,  ARTRA  may be  forced  to  liquidate  its  assets or file for
protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



As discussed in Note 6, on August 18, 1994, as amended December 23, 1994, ARTRA,
Lori,  Lori's  parent,  Fill-Mor  Holding,  Inc.  ("Fill-Mor"),  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company,  and Lori's  operating  subsidiaries,  (including New
Dimensions  Accessories,  Ltd., "New  Dimensions",  which terminated  operations
effective  December 27, 1994) entered into an agreement  with Lori's bank lender
to settle  obligations  due the bank under terms of the bank loan  agreements of
Lori  and  its  operating  subsidiaries  and  Fill-Mor  resulting  in a  partial
discharge of  indebtedness  to Lori and its operating  subsidiaries in December,
1994.  In March,  1995,  the  remaining  indebtedness  of Lori and  Fill-Mor was
discharged,  resulting in an additional  extraordinary gain to Lori and Fill-Mor
recognized in 1995.

At March 30,  1995 and at  December  31,  1994,  Lori had  anticipated  that the
restructuring  of  its  debt  (see  Note  6),  along  with a  consolidation  and
restructuring  of its  operations in order to reduce  overhead costs and improve
operational  efficiencies,  would  permit  it to  obtain a  sufficient  level of
borrowings to fund its capital  requirements in 1995.  During the second quarter
of  1995,  due  primarily  to  competitive  conditions  in the  costume  jewelry
industry, Lori's operating subsidiaries experienced a reduction in business with
certain   major   customers.   Additionally,   Lori's   operating   subsidiaries
discontinued  certain  unprofitable  programs with other customers  resulting in
charges to operations for merchandise credits and inventory valuation allowances
totaling $450,000. Due to the continued losses from operations and the inability
of the Company to obtain  conventional  bank financing,  the Company  determined
that Lori's  remaining  goodwill  balance could no longer be recovered  over its
remaining life through  forecasted future operations.  Accordingly,  the Company
recorded a charge against operations of $6,430,000 ($.96 per share) to write-off
all of the goodwill of Lori and its costume jewelry operations (see Note 5).

During  June,  1995,  Lori  entered  into a series of  agreements  with  certain
unaffiliated  investors  that  provided  for  $700,000 of  short-term  loans due
January  1, 1996.  In  August,  1995 Lori  obtained  a credit  facility  for the
factoring  of  the  accounts  receivable  of  its  costume  jewelry  operations.
Borrowings  under  the  credit  facility  are  collateralized  by  the  accounts
receivable,  inventory  and  equipment  of  Lori's  operating  subsidiaries  and
guaranteed by Lori. Lori continues to search for additional  funding to meet its
capital  requirements  for the  remainder  of 1995 and  beyond,  either  through
borrowings  or equity  infusions.  Additionally,  Lori is attempting to increase
sales through the solicitation of new customers and the addition of new programs
with existing customers such that operating results will improve. However, there
can be no  assurance  that  such  efforts  will  result in  increased  sales and
operating  profits.  If Lori is  unable  to obtain  additional  working  capital
borrowings  or equity  infusions to fund its  operations in for the remainder of
1995 and beyond,  and improve  the  results of  operations,  it may be forced to
liquidate its assets or file for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

Lori's  business  plan  for the  remainder  of 1995 is  based  on the  continued
dependence upon certain major  customers which include Target Stores,  Walgreens
and Wal-Mart. Lori does not have sales contracts with its customers.

These condensed  consolidated  financial  statements are presented in accordance

2.   ARCAR GRAPHICS, INC.

In March,  1994,  Bagcraft  entered  into an  agreement to purchase the business
assets,  subject  to buyer's  assumption  of certain  liabilities,  of Arcar,  a
manufacturer and distributor of waterbase inks, for consideration of $10,264,000
consisting of

<PAGE>

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



cash of $2,264,000 and  subordinated  promissory notes totaling  $8,000,000.  In
addition to the initial consideration, the purchase price may be increased based
upon Arcar's cumulative earnings, as defined in the purchase agreement,  for the
period from January 1, 1994 until  December 31, 1997  ("earnout  compensation").
The earnout compensation, if applicable, is payable on or before January 2, 1999
along with  interest  thereon  at the prime rate for the period  January 1, 1998
until  final  payment.  The seller also  received a warrant to purchase  177,778
ARTRA common shares at a price of $5.625 per share, the market value at the date
of grant.  Exercise of the warrant is payable  only  through a reduction  of the
subordinated promissory notes and accrued interest due the seller under terms of
the purchase  agreement.  The acquisition of Arcar,  completed on April 8, 1994,
was  accounted  for by the  purchase  method  and,  accordingly,  the assets and
liabilities  of Arcar were  included in ARTRA's  financial  statements  at their
estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition.

On July 31, 1995,  ARTRA and  Bagcraft,  entered into a letter of intent to sell
the business assets,  subject to the buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities,
of Arcar. The purchase price shall be cash of $21,000,000 payable at closing and
the buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities.  Consummation of the transaction
is subject to certain  conditions,  including  performance  of the  buyer's  due
diligence,  buyer's financing of the acquisition and negotiation of a definitive
asset  purchase  agreement.  ARTRA  expects to use the net  proceeds to pay down
certain debt obligations, with the balance to be used for working capital.

4.   INVESTMENT IN EMERALD ACQUISITION CORPORATION / ENVIRODYNE INDUSTRIES, INC.

In  March,  1989,  Envirodyne  Industries,   Inc.   ("Envirodyne")  and  Emerald
Acquisition  Corporation  ("Emerald") entered into a definitive  agreement for a
subsidiary  of Emerald to acquire  all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of
Envirodyne  common stock.  Pursuant to the terms of certain  letter  agreements,
ARTRA agreed to participate in the transaction and received Envirodyne's consent
to sell its then  4,830,000  Envirodyne  common  shares  (a 26.3%  interest)  to
Emerald.  On May  3,  1989  the  transaction  was  consummated.  ARTRA  received
consideration consisting of: (i) cash of $75,000,000;  (ii) a 27.5% common stock
interest in Emerald and (iii) Emerald junior  debentures  ("Junior  Debentures")
with a principal amount of $20,992,710.  The Junior Debentures were scheduled to
mature May 1, 2001,  twelve years from the date of  issuance,  and to accrue and
pay interest in the form of cash or additional Junior  Debentures,  at Emerald's
option,  semi-annually,  for the  first  six years at the rate of 15% and to pay
interest  at the rate of 15% in the form of cash  thereafter,  semi-annually  in
arrears.  ARTRA's  27.5%  interest in Emerald  common  stock and Emerald  Junior
Debentures,  as  required  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 81, were carried net of a valuation allowance.

On January 6, 1993, a group of  bondholders  filed an  involuntary  petition for
reorganization  of Envirodyne  under Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code. On
January 7, 1993, Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Debtor") filed
petitions  under  Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code in the United  States
Bankruptcy  Court for the  Northern  District  of  Illinois,  Eastern  Division.
Subsequently,  Emerald  filed  a  voluntary  petition  under  Chapter  11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the same court.

<PAGE>

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



On December 17, 1993 the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan
of  Reorganization as twice modified (the "Plan") with respect to Envirodyne and
certain of its  subsidiaries.  The  confirmation of the Plan was affirmed by the
United States  District Court for the Northern  District of Illinois on December
28, 1993 and Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries  emerged from Chapter 11
on December  31,  1993,  the  Effective  Date.  A notice of appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit was thereafter  filed by certain
holders of Envirodyne's 13.5% Subordinated Notes Due 1996.  Envirodyne has filed
a motion, which is currently pending, to dismiss the appeal. Confirmation of the
Plan was  affirmed  on appeal.  The  Emerald  Chapter  11 case is still  pending
although ARTRA has moved to dismiss that case.

Envirodyne's plan of  reorganization  did not provide any consideration or value
to Emerald and Emerald,  therefore,  is without assets to provide value to ARTRA
for ARTRA's  investment in Emerald common stock and Emerald  Junior  Debentures.
See  discussion  below and in Note 13 Litigation  for remedies  being pursued by
ARTRA as  compensation  for the lost value of its  investment in Emerald  common
stock and Emerald Junior Debentures.

On November 2, 1993,  ARTRA  filed suit in the Circuit  Court of the  Eighteenth
Judicial  Circuit for the state of Illinois  (the State Court  Action")  against
Salomon  Brothers,  Inc.,  Salomon Brothers Holding  Company,  Inc.,  Charles K.
Bobrinskoy,  Michael J. Zimmerman  (collectively,  "Salomon  Defendants"),  D.P.
Kelly & Associates, L.P. ("DPK"), Donald P. Kelly ("Kelly Defendants" along with
DPK), James F. Massey and William  Rifkind.  On November 22, 1993, ARTRA filed a
First Amended Complaint. The defendants removed the case to the Bankruptcy Court
in which the Emerald Chapter 11 case is pending. On July 15, 1994 all but two of
ARTRA's causes of action were remanded to the state court.  The Bankruptcy Court
maintained  jurisdiction of ARTRA's claims against the individual defendants for
breaching  their  fiduciary duty as directors of Emerald to Emerald's  creditors
and interference with ARTRA's  contractual  relations with Emerald.  On April 7,
1995,  the Company's  appeal of the Bankruptcy  Court's  retention of claims was
denied. On July 26, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing these
claims.  On August 4, 1995,  ARTRA filed its Notice of Appeal of the  Bankruptcy
Court's order.

On November 23, 1994, the Company filed a Second Amended  Complaint  against the
Salomon  Defendants and the Kelly Defendants.  On December 21, 1994, the Salomon
Defendants and the Kelly  Defendants  brought  motions to dismiss ARTRA's Second
Amended Complaint in the State Court Action. On February 8, 1995, ARTRA's Second
Amended Complaint was dismissed in part, with leave to replead.

On March 10,  1995,  ARTRA filed a Third  Amended  Complaint  in the State court
Action.  On April 13,  1995,  the Salomon  Defendants  and the Kelly  Defendants
brought  motions to dismiss the Company's  Third Amended  Complaint.  On June 8,
1995, the Third Amended Complaint was dismissed in part, with leave to replead.

On July 19, 1995,  ARTRA filed a Fourth Amended  Counterclaim in the State Court
Action for breach of fiduciary  duty,  fraudulent  misrepresentation,  negligent
misrepresentation, breach of contract and promissory estopel. In the State Court
Action, ARTRA seeks compensatory damages of $136.2 million,  punitive damages of
$408.6 million and approximately $33 million in fees paid to Salomon.

The case is in its early stages and  discovery is just  beginning.  ARTRA cannot
predict, with any certainty, the outcome of the suit.


5.       GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

The net assets of a purchased  business  are recorded at their fair value at the
date of  acquisition.  The excess of  purchase  price over the fair value of net
assets acquired  (goodwill) is reflected as intangible  assets and was amortized
on a  straight-line  basis  principally  over a period of 40 years.  The Company
assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining  whether the
amortization  of the goodwill  balance over its remaining  life can be recovered
through forecasted future operations.

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)



At March 31, 1995 and at December 31, 1994, Lori's business plan had anticipated
that the  restructuring of its debt (see Note 6), along with a consolidation and
restructuring  of its operations would permit it to obtain a sufficient level of
borrowings to fund its capital  requirements in 1995 and beyond.  With the above
business  plan in place,  funded by an adequate  level of  conventional  working
capital  borrowings,  it was anticipated  that future cash flows from operations
would be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the Lori's goodwill.

During the second quarter of 1995,  due primarily to  competitive  conditions in
the costume  jewelry  industry,  Lori's  operating  subsidiaries  experienced  a
reduction  in  business  with  certain  major  customers.  Additionally,  Lori's
operating  subsidiaries  discontinued certain  unprofitable  programs with other
customers  resulting  in charges  to  operations  for  merchandise  credits  and
inventory valuation  allowances  totaling $450,000.  Due to the continued losses
from operations and the inability of Lori to obtain conventional bank financing,
the Lori  determined  that its  remaining  goodwill  balance  could no longer be
recovered  over  its  remaining  life  through   forecasted  future  operations.
Accordingly,  the Company  recorded a charge  against  operations  of $6,430,000
($.96 per  share)  to  write-off  all of the  goodwill  of Lori and its  costume
jewelry operations at June 29, 1995.


6.       DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Effective  August  18,  1994,  as amended  December  23,  1994,  Lori and Lori's
operating subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers"), ARTRA and Lori's parent,
Fill-Mor,   entered  into  an  agreement  with  Lori's  bank  lender  to  settle
obligations due the bank under terms of the bank loan agreements of Lori and its
operating subsidiaries.

Per terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, borrowings due the bank under the
loan agreements of the Borrowers and Fill-Mor  (approximately  $25,000,000 as of
December 23, 1994), plus amounts due the bank for accrued interest and fees were
reduced to $10,500,000 (of which  $7,855,000  pertained to Lori's  obligation to
the bank and $2,645,000  pertained to Fill-Mor's  obligation to the bank).  Upon
the satisfaction of certain  conditions of the Amended  Settlement  Agreement in
1995, as discussed below, the balance of this indebtedness was discharged.

In  conjunction  with the Amended  Settlement  Agreement,  ARTRA  entered into a
$1,850,000  short-term  loan agreement with a  non-affiliated  corporation,  the
proceeds of which were used to fund amounts due the bank as discussed below. The
loan, due June 30, 1995, with interest payable monthly at 10%, is collateralized
by 100,000  shares of Lori common  stock.  These 100,000 Lori common shares were
originally  issued to the bank under  terms of the August  18,  1994  Settlement
Agreement.

In  exchange  for the  reduction  of  amounts  due the bank,  and as  additional
consideration   for  the   $1,850,000   short-term   loan   agreement  from  the
non-affiliated corporation,  the Borrowers, ARTRA and Fill-Mor agreed to pay the
following consideration:

             A)   A cash  payment to the  bank of  $1,900,000, which was made in
                  December, 1994.

             B)   400,000  shares of ARTRA common  stock.  These  400,000  ARTRA
                  common shares were  originally  issued to the bank under terms
                  of the August 18, 1994 Settlement Agreement. The bank retained
                  100,000  shares and the  non-affiliated  corporation  received
                  300,000 shares as additional  consideration for its short-term
                  loan.

             C)   Assignment to the bank of  all  of the  assets  of  Lori's New
                  Dimensions subsidiary.

             D)   A $750,000 note payable to the bank due March 31, 1995.

Among other  things,  ARTRA has agreed to register  the ARTRA  shares  issued in
order  to  enable  the  ARTRA  shares  issued  to be  freely  tradeable  without
restriction on or before July 31, 1995.  Additionally,  the Settlement Agreement
required  ARTRA to advance  $400,000 to Lori which,  along with  $150,000 of the
ARTRA $1,850,000 short-term loan agreement

noted above,  was deposited in trust at December 29, 1994. This deposit was used
to fund the  installment  payment due  December  31, 1994 for  unsecured  claims
arising from the May 3, 1993  reorganization of New Dimensions.  The installment
payment was made in January, 1995.

The August 18, 1994  settlement  agreement  required ARTRA to contribute cash of
$1,500,000 to Lori for working capital.  ARTRA's cash contribution was funded by
private  placements  of  ARTRA  common  stock.  An   officer/director   of  Lori
participated in the private placement of ARTRA common stock purchasing  $150,000
of ARTRA common stock (37,500 shares),  subject to the same terms and conditions
as the other outside investors.

The Company  recognized an extraordinary gain of $8,965,000 ($1.57 per share) in
December  1994 as a result of the  reduction  of amounts  due the bank under the
loan  agreements  of  the  Borrowers  and  Fill-Mor  to  $10,500,000  (of  which
$7,855,000  pertained to Lori's obligation to the bank and $2,645,000  pertained
to  Fill-Mor's  obligation to the bank) as of December 23, 1994  calculated  (in
thousands) as follows:

Lori also recorded a charge against operations in December 1994 to write-off New
Dimensions' goodwill, which had a book value of $10,800,000.

In  March,  1995 the  $750,000  note  due the  bank  was paid and the  remaining
indebtedness  of Lori and Fill-Mor was  discharged,  resulting in an  additional
extraordinary  gain to Lori and Fill-Mor of $9,113,000  ($1.35 per share) in the
first  quarter of 1995.  Among other  things,  ARTRA has agreed to register  the
ARTRA  shares  issued in order to enable  the ARTRA  shares  issued to be freely
tradeable  without  restriction  on or before  July 31,  1995.  In the event the
shares are not  registered  by July 31, 1995,  the bank has the right to put the
100,000  ARTRA  shares  back to ARTRA for an  exercise  price of  $500,000.  The
$750,000 note payment was funded with the proceeds of a $850,000 short-term loan
from a director of Lori.  The loan  provides for interest at the prime rate plus
1%. As  consideration  for  assisting  in the debt  restructuring,  the director
received  150,000 Lori common shares valued at $337,500  ($2.25 per share) based
upon Lori's  closing  market  value on March 30,  1995.  The first  quarter 1995

At December  30,  1993,  $18,452,000  in ARTRA  notes and  related  loan fees of

Bagcraft,  and a secondary  position on the assets of BCA,  payments due under a
noncompetition  agreement  with the Company's  former Welch  subsidiary and by a
subordinated  note in the principal  amount of  $2,500,000  received by ARTRA as
part of the proceeds  from the sale of Welch.  Additionally,  the bank notes are
collateralized  by a $5,500,000  personal  guaranty of a private  investor  and,
prior to March 31, 1994 as discussed below,  the bank notes were  collateralized
by a  $2,500,000  guaranty of a private  corporation.  A major  shareholder  and
executive officer of the private corporation is an ARTRA director. As additional
compensation,  the private  investor is  receiving  1,833 shares of ARTRA common
stock for each month the  guaranty is  outstanding  and the private  corporation
received  833  shares of ARTRA  common  stock for each  month the  guaranty  was
outstanding.  Among other  things,  the bank notes  prohibit the payment of cash
dividends by ARTRA.

On December 31, 1993, a religious organization,  currently holding approximately
5.8% of ARTRA's  outstanding common stock, made a $2,000,000  short-term loan to
the Company  with  interest  at 10%.  See  discussion  of amounts due to related
parties  below  for  further  discussion  of  this  transaction  and  additional
consideration received by the religious organization.  The proceeds of this loan
were  remitted to the bank to pay interest and other costs due through  December
31, 1993 and to reduce the  principal  amount  outstanding  on the bank notes to
$17,063,000 at December 31, 1993.

On March 31,  1994,  ARTRA  entered  into a series of  agreements  with its bank
lender  and  with the  private  corporation  noted  above  that  had  guaranteed
$2,500,000  of ARTRA's  bank  notes.  Per terms of the  agreements,  the private
corporation  purchased  $2,500,000  of ARTRA  notes from  ARTRA's  bank  thereby
reducing the outstanding  principal on ARTRA's bank notes to $14,563,000 and the
bank released the private  corporation  from its $2,500,000  loan guaranty.  The
ARTRA bank notes and  related  loan fees were  payable on  September  30,  1994.
Interest on the bank notes  continues  to accrue at the prime rate (8.5% at June
29, 1995 and December 29, 1994) and is payable  quarterly.  Interest on the bank
notes has been paid  through  June 14, 1994.  Effective  March 31,  1994,  ARTRA
pledged,  as additional  collateral for its bank notes, any and all net proceeds
arising  from its lawsuit  against  Salomon  Brothers,  Inc.,  Salomon  Brothers
Holding Company Inc.  (collectively,  "Salomon")  D.P. Kelly & Associates,  L.P.
("Kelly") and all of the directors of Emerald for breaches of fiduciary  duty by
the directors of Emerald,  induced by Salomon and Kelly,  in connection with the
reorganization  of  Envirodyne  as  discussed  in Note 4. As  consideration  for
purchasing  $2,500,000 of ARTRA bank notes, the private  corporation  received a
$2,500,000 note payable from ARTRA bearing interest at the prime rate.

As additional  consideration,  the private corporation has received an option to
put  back to  ARTRA  the  49,980  shares  of  ARTRA  common  stock  received  as
compensation for its former  $2,500,000 ARTRA loan guaranty at a price of $15.00
per  share.  The put  option  is  exercisable  on the  later of the day that the
$2,500,000 note payable to the private  corporation  becomes due or the date the
ARTRA bank notes have been paid in full. The option price increases by $2.25 per
share annually  ($17.81 per share at June 29, 1995). The $2,500,000 note payable
to the private  corporation  is  reflected  in the above table as amounts due to
related parties.

On October 25, 1994, ARTRA's bank lender filed suit against ARTRA in the Circuit
Court of Cook County,  Illinois alleging  nonpayment by ARTRA of the amounts due
under the above notes payable to the bank. The bank has requested that the court
enter  judgment  in its  favor  against  ARTRA in the  amount  of  approximately
$16,000,000,  which includes the principal  balance of the notes of $14,563,000,
plus interest, costs and fees.

In June 1995 ARTRA entered into an agreement to settle  amounts due ARTRA by the
former  Welch  subsidiary  under  terms  of a  noncompetition  agreement  and  a
subordinated  note in the principal  amount of  $2,500,000  received by ARTRA as
part of the proceeds  from the 1989 sale of Welch.  Per terms of the  settlement
agreement,  ARTRA  received cash of $3,000,000  and a  subordinated  note in the
principal  amount of $640,000 payable June 30, 2001. The cash proceeds were used
for a  $2,500,000  reduction  of  amounts  due on the above  ARTRA bank notes to
$12,063,000 at June 29, 1995,  with the remainder used for working  capital.  In
conjunction  with this  transaction,  ARTRA entered into a letter agreement with
the bank  whereby  the bank  agreed to not to  exercise  any of its  rights  and
remedies  with respect to amounts due the bank under its ARTRA notes and certain
obligations of ARTRA's president,  Peter R. Harvey. In exchange for a payment of
$5,700,000,  to be paid  with  ARTRA's  share of the  proceeds  from the sale of
Arcar,  the bank  agreed to  discharge  all amounts due the bank by ARTRA and to
sell the obligations of Peter R. Harvey due the bank to ARTRA. Upon consummation
of this  transaction,  ARTRA  will  recognize  a gain on the  discharge  of this
indebtedness.

Effective May 14, 1991,  ARTRA,  through its wholly-owned  Fill-Mor  subsidiary,
entered into a loan  agreement  with a bank  providing  for  borrowings of up to
$2,500,000  with  interest  at the prime rate plus 2%, of which  $2,200,000  was
outstanding  at  December  29,  1994.  The loan was  collateralized  by  ARTRA's
interest in Lori common  stock and  preferred  stock,  by the  proceeds of a tax
sharing  agreement  between  ARTRA and its  Bagcraft  subsidiary  and by ARTRA's
interest in Fill-Mor's  common stock.  At December 29, 1994,  borrowings on this
note were  reclassified  as amounts due under the debt  restructuring  agreement
discussed in Note 6. In March,  1995,  borrowings  due under this loan agreement
were discharged.

A  $3,600,000  bank note  payable  due  December  31,  1990,  has not been paid.
However,  the bank has not demanded  payment.  This loan is  collateralized by a
$2,500,000 guarantee of Peter R. Harvey, ARTRA's president.

An ARTRA bank note with outstanding  borrowings of $345,000 at June 29, 1995 and
December 29, 1994 is guaranteed by a private company. Interest on the note is at
the prime rate plus 2% (11.0% at June 29, 1995 and 10.5% at December 29, 1994).


         Amounts Due To Related Parties

In January, 1995, John Harvey loaned ARTRA $100,000 evidenced by an unsecured 60
day note bearing  interest at 8%. As additional  compensation for the loan, John
Harvey  received a warrant to purchase  6,000 ARTRA  common  shares at $4.75 per
share  based  upon the  market  value  of  ARTRA's  common  stock at the date of
issuance. The warrant expires five years from the date of issuance. Terms of the
note provide for the issuance of  additional  warrants to purchase  ARTRA common
shares,  as determined by the number of days the loan is outstanding.  In April,
1995,  John Harvey made  additional  advances to ARTRA  totaling  $33,000 and as
consideration  for all outstanding  advances,  received  additional  warrants to
purchase  11,667  shares of ARTRA common stock at $3.75 per share based upon the
market value of ARTRA's  common stock at the date of issuance.  At June 29, 1995
and  December  29,  1994,  total  outstanding  borrowings  from John Harvey were
$175,000 and $42,000, respectively.

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)



At March 30, 1995, amounts due to related parties included a $850,000 short-term
loan from a director of Lori.  The loan  provides for interest at the prime rate
plus 1%.  As  consideration  for  assisting  with the  debt  restructuring,  the
director  received  150,000  Lori common  shares  valued at $337,500  ($2.25 per
share) based upon Lori's  closing  market value on March 30, 1995. The principal
amount of the loan was reduced to $775,000 at June 29, 1995 and further  reduced
to $750,000 at July 31, 1995. The remaining loan principle was not repaid on its
scheduled to maturity  date of July 31, 1995.  Per terms of the loan  agreement,
the  Lori  director   received  an  additional  50,000  Lori  common  shares  as
compensation for the non-payment of the loan at its scheduled maturity.  The due
date of the loan was  subsequently  extended to September  30, 1995 and the Lori
director  received an additional  50,000 Lori common shares as consideration for
the loan extension.

At June 29, 1995 and  December  29,  1994,  amounts due to related  parties also
included  borrowings  of $136,000  and  $127,000,  respectively,  from the above
mentioned  director of Lori.  As additional  compensation  the Lori director has
received,  through June 29,  1995,  warrants to purchase an aggregate of 236,315
ARTRA common shares at prices  ranging from $3.75 to $6.375 per share based upon
the market value of ARTRA's  common stock at the date of issuance.  The warrants
expire five years from the date of  issuance.  Terms of the note provide for the
issuance of additional warrants to purchase ARTRA common shares as determined by
the number of days the loan is outstanding.

On December 31, 1993, a religious organization,  currently holding approximately
5.8%  of  ARTRA's  outstanding  common  stock,  loaned  the  Company  $2,000,000
evidenced  by a short-term  note  bearing  interest at 10%. The proceeds of this
loan were remitted to ARTRA's bank to pay principal and interest on ARTRA's bank
notes as discussed above. In January,  1994 the religious  organization  made an
additional  $1,000,000 short-term loan to the Company also with interest at 10%.
As additional  compensation for the above loans, the lender received warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 86,250 ARTRA common shares at prices ranging from $6.00
to $7.00 per share based upon the market of ARTRA's  common stock at the date of
issuance.  The warrants expire in 1998, five years from the date of issuance. In
July, 1994 ARTRA made a $2,000,000  payment  against the amounts  outstanding on
the above loans and the  religious  organization  subsequently  loaned  ARTRA an
additional $2,000,000. At June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994 borrowings due the
religious organization totaled $3,000,000.


         Other

In conjunction  with the debt  settlement  agreement  discussed in Note 6, ARTRA
entered  into a  $1,850,000  short-term  loan  agreement  with a  non-affiliated
corporation,  the  proceeds  of  which  were  advanced  to Lori and used to fund
amounts due the bank as  discussed  below.  The loan,  due June 30,  1995,  with
interest  payable  monthly at 10%, is  collateralized  by 100,000 shares of Lori
common stock.  These 100,000 Lori common shares,  originally  issued to the bank
under terms of the August 18, 1994  Settlement  Agreement,  were  carried in the
Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 29, 1995 and December 29,
1994 as restricted  common stock.  In August,  1995 the loan was extended  until
September  15, 1995 and the lender  received  the above  mentioned  100,000 Lori
common shares as consideration for the loan extension.

During the second quarter of 1995, Lori entered into a series of agreements with
certain  unaffiliated  investors that provided for $700,000 of short-term  loans
due January 1, 1996 that provide for interest at 15%. As additional compensation
the lenders received an aggregate of 41,176 Lori common shares.

In  August,  1995 Lori  obtained  a credit  facility  for the  factoring  of the
accounts  receivable  of its costume  jewelry  operations.  The credit  facility
provides for  advances of 80% of  receivables  assigned,  after  allowances  for
markdowns and other  merchandise  credits.  The factoring  charge,  a minimum of
1.75%  of  the  receivables  assigned,  increases  on a  sliding  scale  if  the
receivables  assigned are not  collected  within 45 days.  Borrowings  under the
credit facility are  collateralized  by the accounts  receivable,  inventory and
equipment of Lori's operating subsidiaries and guaranteed by Lori.

</TABLE>


         Bagcraft

Effective December 17, 1993,  Bagcraft refinanced its bank debt by entering into
a Credit  Agreement  that provides for a revolving  credit loan and two separate
term loans. The term loans were separate two-year facilities  initially totaling
$12,000,000  (Term Loan A) and $8,000,000 (Term Loan B), bearing interest at the
lender's index rate plus 1.75% and 3%,  respectively.  The principal  under Term
Loan A is payable at maturity  (December 17,  1995),  unless  accelerated  under
terms of the Credit  Agreement.  The  principal  under  Term Loan B  ($5,000,000
outstanding  at June 29,  1995 and  December  29,  1994) is  payable  in varying
monthly  installments  from  January  1,  1994 to  December  1,  1995,  with the
remaining  principal  balance  payable at maturity  (December 17, 1995),  unless
accelerated  under terms of the Credit  Agreement.  At June 29,  1995,  interest
rates on Term Loan A and Term Loan B were 10.75% and 12.0%, respectively.

The amount available to Bagcraft under the revolving credit loan is subject to a
borrowing base, as defined in the agreement, up to a maximum of $18,000,000.  At
June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994, approximately $1,150,000 and $450,000,

<PAGE>

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



respectively,  was available and unused by Bagcraft  under the revolving  credit
loan.  The revolving  credit loan bears interest at the lender's index rate plus
1.5%.  The  revolving  credit loan is  scheduled  to become due and payable upon
maturity of the Credit Agreement  (December 17, 1995),  unless accelerated under
terms of the  Credit  Agreement.  At June  29,  1995  the  interest  rate on the
revolving credit loan was 10.5%.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of
the  assets of  Bagcraft.  The Credit  Agreement  contains  various  restrictive
covenants,  that among other restrictions,  require Bagcraft to maintain minimum
levels of net worth and liquidity  levels and limit additional  loans,  dividend
payments, capital expenditures and payments to related parties. In addition, the
Credit Agreement  prohibits  changes in ownership of Bagcraft.  At June 29, 1995
Bagcraft was not in compliance with certain  provisions of its Credit Agreement.
Bagcraft is currently  negotiating  with its lender to amend or restructure  the
Credit Agreement.

As additional compensation for borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the lender
received a  detachable  warrant  with a put option to  purchase up to 10% of the
fully  diluted  common  equity of  Bagcraft.  The  warrant  allows  Bagcraft  to
reacquire up to 2-1/2% of Bagcraft's fully diluted common equity from the lender
contingent  upon  Bagcraft's  repayment  of Term Loan B as defined in the Credit
Agreement.  Under  certain  conditions  Bagcraft is required to  repurchase  the
warrant  from the  lender.  The  determination  of the  repurchase  price of the
warrant is to be based on the  warrant's  pro rata share of the  highest of book
value, appraised value or market value of Bagcraft.

In March,  1994  Bagcraft  and the City of Baxter  Springs,  Kansas  completed a
$12,500,000  financing package associated with the construction of a new 265,000
sq. ft. production  facility in Baxter Springs,  Kansas.  The financing package,
funded by a  combination  of  Federal,  state and local  funds,  consists of the
following  loan  agreements  payable by Bagcraft  directly to the City of Baxter
Springs:

         A $7,000,000  promissory  note payable in ten  installments of $700,000
         due annually on July 21 of each year beginning in 1995 through maturity
         on July 21,  2004.  Interest,  at varying  rates from 4.6% to 6.6%,  is
         payable semi-annually. At June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994, Bagcraft
         had borrowed the maximum available under this loan agreement.

         A  $5,000,000   subordinated   promissory   note  payable  as  follows:
         $2,000,000  installments due June 30,1998 and June 30, 1999; $1,000,000
         due on January 2, 2000. The  subordinated  promissory  note is interest
         free  provided  that loan  payments  are made on a timely  basis and no
         events of default occur under terms of the agreement.  At June 29, 1995
         and  December  29,  1994,   Bagcraft  had  outstanding   borrowings  of
         $5,000,000 and $4,810,000, respectively, under this loan agreement.

         A  $250,000  subordinated   promissory  note  payable  in  240  monthly
         installments  commencing  August 1, 1995  through  maturity on July 18,
         2015. The  subordinated  promissory note is interest free provided that
         loan payments are made on a timely basis and no events of default occur
         under terms of the  agreement.  At June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994,
         Bagcraft  had  borrowed the maximum  amount  available  under this loan
         agreement.

         A $250,000  subordinated  promissory note payable January 20, 2005. The
         subordinated  promissory  note is  interest  free  provided  that  loan
         payments  are made on a timely  basis and no events  of  default  occur
         under terms of the  agreement.  At June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994,
         Bagcraft  had  borrowed the maximum  amount  available  under this loan
         agreement.


Borrowings under the above loan agreements are collateralized by a first lien on
the land and building at the Baxter Springs, Kansas production facility and by a
second lien on certain  machinery and  equipment.  At June 29, 1995 and December
29, 1994, $546,000 and $774,000, respectively, of borrowings from the above loan
agreements is reflected in the condensed  consolidated  balance sheet in current
assets as restricted  cash and  equivalents.  These funds,  invested in interest
bearing cash  equivalents,  are restricted for expenditures  associated with the
Baxter Springs, Kansas project.

         Arcar

As discussed in Note 2, on April 8, 1994,  Bagcraft completed the acquisition of
Arcar  for  consideration  consisting  of cash of  $2,264,000  and  subordinated
promissory notes totaling $8,000,000  ($5,500,000 and $8,000,000  outstanding at
June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994, respectively).  The subordinated promissory
notes  provide for interest  payable  quarterly at the prime rate (as defined in
the agreement).  At June 29, 1995, the remaining  outstanding  promissory  notes
mature as follows:  $2,500,000 payable March 15, 1996;  $2,500,000 payable March
15, 1997; $500,000 payable March 15, 1998. The seller also received a warrant to
purchase  177,778 ARTRA common shares at a price of $5.625 per share, the market
value at the date of grant.  Exercise of the warrant is payable  only  through a
reduction  of the  subordinated  promissory  notes and accrued  interest due the
seller under terms of the purchase agreement.

Effective April 8, 1994,  Arcar entered into a Loan and Security  Agreement (the
"Agreement")  with a bank that  provides for a revolving  credit loan and a term
loan.  The term loan,  in the original  principal  amount of  $2,750,000,  bears
interest  at the prime  rate plus  .75%.  The  principal  under the term loan is
payable in forty-eight varying monthly installments from April 30, 1995 to March
31, 1999, unless accelerated under terms of the Agreement.  At June 29, 1995 the
interest rate on the term loan was 9.75%.

The amount  available to Arcar under the  revolving  credit loan is subject to a
borrowing base, as defined in the agreement, up to a maximum of $1,500,000.  The
revolving  credit  loan bears  interest at the prime rate plus .5% (9.5% at June
29, 1995) and is due and payable March 31, 1996, unless  accelerated under terms
of the Agreement.  The revolving credit loan, renewable solely at the discretion
of the lender for  additional  one year periods until  maturity of the Agreement
(March 31,  1999.  At June 29, 1995  approximately  $950,000 was  available  and
unused by Arcar under the revolving credit loan.

Borrowings under the Agreement are  collateralized  by substantially  all of the
assets of Arcar. The Agreement  contains  various  restrictive  covenants,  that
among other restrictions,  require Arcar to maintain minimum levels of net worth
and liquidity  levels and limit additional  loans,  dividend  payments,  capital
expenditures and payments to related parties.


         Lori

As discussed in Note 6, effective August 18, 1994, as amended effective December
23, 1994, ARTRA,  Fill-Mor,  Lori and Lori's operating subsidiaries entered into
an agreement  with Lori's bank lender to settle  obligations  due the bank under
terms of the bank loan  agreements  of Lori and its operating  subsidiaries  and
Fill-Mor. Per terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, borrowings due the bank
under the loan  agreements  of Lori and its  operating  subsidiaries  and Lori's
parent,  Fill-Mor,  plus amounts due the bank for accrued interest and fees were
reduced to $10,500,000 as of December 23, 1994 (of which $7,855,000 pertained to
Lori's obligation to the bank and $2,645,000 pertained to Fill-Mor's  obligation
to the bank). As partial  consideration for the Amended Settlement Agreement the
bank received a $750,000 Lori note payable due March 31, 1995.

In  March,  1995 the  $750,000  note  due the  bank  was paid and the  remaining
indebtedness  of Lori and Fill-Mor was  discharged,  resulting in an  additional
extraordinary gain to Lori and Fill-Mor of $9,113,000 in 1995 (See Note 5).


The common stock and virtually all the assets of ARTRA's  subsidiaries have been
pledged as  collateral  for  ARTRA's  and its  subsidiaries'  borrowings.  Under
certain  debt  agreements  the Company is limited in the amounts it can withdraw
from its  operating  subsidiaries.  At June  29,  1995 and  December  29,  1994,
substantially  all cash and  equivalents on the Company's  consolidated  balance
sheet are restricted to use by and for the Company's operating subsidiaries.

9.       REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

ARTRA has entered  into  various  agreements  under which it has sold its common
shares along with options that require ARTRA to  repurchase  these shares at the
option of the holder, principally one year after the date of each agreement. The
difference  between the option price and the net proceeds  received is amortized
over the life of the options by a charge to retained earnings.  Additionally, as
discussed  in Note 6, ARTRA has agreed to  register  the  100,000  ARTRA  common
shares  issued  to a bank  in as  partial  consideration  for a debt  settlement
agreement on or before July 31, 1995. In the event the shares are not registered
by July 31, 1995,  the bank has the right to put the 100,000 ARTRA common shares
back to ARTRA  for an  exercise  price of  $500,000.  In July 1995 the bank sold
these ARTRA shares in a private transaction and the put option was cancelled. At
June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994 options are outstanding  that, if exercised,
would require ARTRA to repurchase 369,679 and 279,679 shares of its common stock
for an aggregate amount of $4,736,000 and $4,144,000, respectively.


10.      REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

On September 27, 1989,  ARTRA received a proposal to purchase BCA, the parent of
Bagcraft,  from Sage Group, Inc.  ("Sage"),  a privately-owned  corporation that
owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of BCA. Sage was merged with and into
Ozite  Corporation  ("Ozite")  on August  24,  1990.  Peter R.  Harvey,  ARTRA's
President, and John Harvey, ARTRA's Chairman of the Board of Directors, were the
principal  shareholders  of Sage and are the  principal  shareholders  of Ozite.
Effective  March 3, 1990, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of ARTRA  acquired 100% of
BCA's issued and  outstanding  common shares for  consideration  of  $5,451,000,
which  included  772,000 shares of ARTRA common stock and 3,750 shares of $1,000
par value junior non-convertible  payment-in-kind  redeemable Series A Preferred
Stock with an estimated fair value of $1,012,000, net of unamortized discount of
$2,738,000. The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 6% per
annum and is redeemable by ARTRA on March 1, 2000 at a price of $1,000 per share
plus accrued dividends.  Accumulated dividends of $1,369,000 and $1,221,000 were
accrued at June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994, respectively.

In 1987,  Bagcraft  issued to an  affiliate,  currently a  subsidiary  of Ozite,
$5,000,000 of preferred  stock (50,000  shares of 13.5%  cumulative,  redeemable
preferred  stock  with  a  liquidation  preference  equal  to  $100  per  share)
redeemable  by  Bagcraft  in 1997 at a price  of $100  per  share  plus  accrued
dividends.  Dividends,  which accrue and are payable  semiannually on June 1 and
December 1 of each year, are reflected in the Company's  condensed  consolidated
statement of operations as minority interest. The affiliate has agreed to forego
dividend  payments as long as such  payments  are  prohibited  by bank  lenders.
Accumulated dividends of $5,456,000 and $5,119,000 were accrued at June 29, 1995
and December 29, 1994, respectively.

In 1987,  Bagcraft obtained financing from an affiliate,  currently a subsidiary
of Ozite, through the issuance of a $5,000,000 unsecured  subordinated note, due
June 1, 1997.  During 1992,  per  agreement  with the  noteholder,  the interest
payments  were remitted to ARTRA and the  noteholder  received 675 shares of BCA
preferred stock ($1.00 par value,  6% cumulative  with a liquidation  preference
equal to $1,000 per share) with a  liquidation  value of $675,000.  In December,
1993, the unsecured  subordinated note and accrued interest thereon were paid in
full from  proceeds of  Bagcraft's  credit  agreement.  Per  agreement  with the
noteholder,  the accrued  interest  outstanding  on the note of  $3,000,000  was
remitted to ARTRA and the  noteholder  received an  additional  3,000 shares BCA
preferred stock having a liquidation value of $3,000,000.

11.      INCOME TAXES

No income tax benefit was  recognized in connection  with the Company's 1995 and
1994  pre-tax  losses  due to the  Company's  tax loss  carryforwards.  The 1995
extraordinary credit represents a net gain from discharge of bank indebtedness.

At June 29, 1995, the Company and its  subsidiaries  had Federal income tax loss
carryforwards  of  approximately  $95,000,000  available  to be applied  against
future taxable income,  if any. ARTRA's tax loss  carryforwards of approximately
$42,000,000 expire principally in 2003 - 2009. ARTRA's  discontinued  Ultrasonix
and  Ratex   subsidiaries   had  Federal  income  tax  loss   carryforwards   of
approximately $11,000,000 available to be applied against future taxable income,
if any.  Lori  has  Federal  income  tax  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately
$53,000,000  available to be applied against future Lori taxable income, if any,
expiring  principally  in 1995 - 2009. In recent  years,  the Company has issued
shares of its common stock to repay various debt  obligations,  as consideration
for acquisitions,  to fund working capital  obligations and as consideration for
various  other  transactions.  Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986
limits a corporation's  utilization of its Federal income tax loss carryforwards
when certain changes in the ownership of a corporation's common stock occurs. In
the  opinion  of  management,  the  Company  is not  currently  subject  to such
limitations   regarding  the   utilization   of  its  Federal  income  tax  loss
carryforwards.  Should the  Company  continue to issue a  significant  number of
shares of its common stock,  it could trigger a limitation that would prevent it
from   utilizing  a  substantial   portion  of  its  Federal   income  tax  loss
carryforwards.


12.      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Effective  June 1, 1990, the Company  adopted an Employee  Stock  Ownership Plan
("ESOP")  which  covers  substantially  all  employees of ARTRA and its Bagcraft
subsidiary.  Employer contributions to the Plan are at the discretion of ARTRA's
Board  of  Directors.   Employee   contributions  are  not  permitted.   ARTRA's
contribution  for the plan year ended  December  31,  1994,  15,000 ARTRA common
shares, has been accrued in the Company's condensed  consolidated  balance sheet
in current  liabilities at their fair market value of $77,000 ($5.125 per share)
as of December 29, 1994.


13.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings  (loss) per share is computed by dividing  net  earnings  (loss),  less
dividends  applicable to redeemable  preferred stock and redeemable common stock
accretion  by the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents (redeemable common stock, stock options and warrants),  unless
anti-dilutive,  outstanding during each period. Fully diluted earnings per share
are not presented since the result is equivalent to primary earnings per share.


14.      LITIGATION

The Company and its subsidiaries are the defendants in various  business-related
litigation and  environmental  matters.  At June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994,
the Company had accrued $1,500,000 for potential business-related litigation and
environmental  liabilities.  While these  litigation and  environmental  matters
involve  wide ranges of  potential  liability,  management  does not believe the
outcome of these  matters will have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's
financial  statements.  However,  ARTRA  may not  have  available  funds  to pay
liabilities arising out of these  business-related  litigation and environmental
matters or, in certain instances,  to provide for its legal defense. ARTRA could
suffer severe adverse  consequences  in the event of an unfavorable  judgment in
any of these matters.

On November 2, 1993,  ARTRA  filed suit in the Circuit  Court of the  Eighteenth
Judicial  Circuit for the state of Illinois  (the State Court  Action")  against
Salomon  Brothers,  Inc.,  Salomon Brothers Holding  Company,  Inc.,  Charles K.
Bobrinskoy,  Michael J. Zimmerman  (collectively,  "Salomon  Defendants"),  D.P.
Kelly & Associates, L.P. ("DPK"), Donald P. Kelly ("Kelly Defendants" along with
DPK), James F. Massey and William  Rifkind.  On November 22, 1993, ARTRA filed a
First Amended Complaint. The defendants removed the case to the Bankruptcy Court
in which the

<PAGE>

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



Emerald  Chapter  11 case is  pending.  On July 15,  1994 all but two of ARTRA's
causes  of action  were  remanded  to the  state  court.  The  Bankruptcy  Court
maintained  jurisdiction of ARTRA's claims against the individual defendants for
breaching  their  fiduciary duty as directors of Emerald to Emerald's  creditors
and interference with ARTRA's  contractual  relations with Emerald.  On April 7,
1995,  the Company's  appeal of the Bankruptcy  Court's  retention of claims was
denied. On July 26, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing these
claims.  On August 4, 1995,  ARTRA filed its Notice of Appeal of the  Bankruptcy
Court's order.

On November 23, 1994, the Company filed a Second Amended  Complaint  against the
Salomon  Defendants and the Kelly Defendants.  On December 21, 1994, the Salomon
Defendants and the Kelly  Defendants  brought  motions to dismiss ARTRA's Second
Amended Complaint in the State Court Action. On February 8, 1995, ARTRA's Second
Amended Complaint was dismissed in part, with leave to replead.

On March 10,  1995,  ARTRA filed a Third  Amended  Complaint  in the State court
Action.  On April 13,  1995,  the Salomon  Defendants  and the Kelly  Defendants
brought  motions to dismiss the Company's  Third Amended  Complaint.  On June 8,
1995, the Third Amended Complaint was dismissed in part, with leave to replead.

On July 19, 1995,  ARTRA filed a Fourth Amended  Counterclaim in the State Court
Action for breach of fiduciary  duty,  fraudulent  misrepresentation,  negligent
misrepresentation, breach of contract and promissory estopel. In the State Court
Action, ARTRA seeks compensatory damages of $136.2 million,  punitive damages of
$408.6 million and approximately $33 million in fees paid to Salomon.

The case is in its early stages and  discovery is just  beginning.  ARTRA cannot
predict, with any certainty, the outcome of the suit.

Effective  December  31,  1989,  ARTRA  completed  the  disposal  of its  former
scientific  products  segment  with the sale of its Welch  subsidiary,  formerly
Sargent-Welch   Scientific  Company,  to  a  privately  held  corporation  whose
president and sole  shareholder was a vice president of Welch prior to the sale.
The  consideration  received by ARTRA  consisted of $2,625,000  payable June 30,
1997,  with  interest  at  10%  beginning  June  30,  1990,  under  terms  of  a
noncompetition  agreement  and the buyer's  subordinated  note in the  principal
amount of  $2,500,000.  The  receivable  due June 30,  1997  under  terms of the
noncompetition agreement was reflected in ARTRA's condensed consolidated balance
sheet at  December  29, 1994 in other  assets at  $2,625,000.  The  subordinated
security, due in 1997, was originally scheduled to be non-interest bearing for a
period of three years,  after which time interest will accrue at the rate of 10%
per annum.  The note was  discounted  at a rate of 10%  during the  non-interest
bearing period and was reflected in ARTRA's condensed consolidated balance sheet
at  December  29,  1994 in other  assets at  $1,375,000,  net of a  discount  of
$1,125,000.

In December,  1991 Welch filed a lawsuit  against  ARTRA  alleging  that certain
representations, warranties and covenants made by ARTRA, which were contained in
the  parties'  Stock  Purchase   Agreement,   were  false.   Welch  was  seeking
compensatory damages in the amount of $3,800,000.  Subsequently, ARTRA had filed
a  counterclaim  predicated  upon  Welch's  breach of the  payment  terms of the
parties' Non-Competition  Agreement and the Subordinated Note executed by Welch.
ARTRA was seeking damages in the amount of approximately $5,300,000 plus accrued
interest. On November 23, 1994, the Circuit Court of Cook County Law Division in
Chicago  granted a judgment  in favor of ARTRA  affirming  the  validity  of the
amounts due under the  Non-Competition  Agreement and the  Subordinated  Note of
$2,625,000 and $2,500,000, respectively.

In June 1995 ARTRA  entered  into an  agreement  to settle  amounts due ARTRA by
Welch under terms of the noncompetition agreement and the subordinated security.
Per terms of the settlement  agreement,  ARTRA received cash of $3,000,000 and a
subordinated note in the principal amount of $640,000 payable June 30, 2001.

In January,  1985 the United  States  Environmental  Protection  Agency  ("EPA")
notified the Company's Bagcraft subsidiary that it was a potentially responsible
party under the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Responsibility  Compensation  and
Liability  Act  ("CERCLA")  for alleged  release of hazardous  substances at the
Cross  Brothers  site near  Kankakee,  Illinois.  Although  Bagcraft  has denied
liability for the site, it has entered into a settlement agreement with the EPA,
along with the

<PAGE>

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



other third party  defendants,  to resolve all claims  associated  with the site
except for state  claims.  In May,  1994  Bagcraft  paid  $850,000  plus accrued
interest of $29,000 to formally extinguish the EPA claim. Bagcraft filed suit in
1993 in theUnited  States District Court for the Northern  District of Illinois,
against its insurers to recover a portion of its  liability  costs in connection
with the Cross Brothers case.  Bagcraft  recovered $725,000 from its insurers in
1994 and an  additional  $250,000  in 1995.  With  regard to the  state  action,
Bagcraft is participating in settlement  discussions with the State and thirteen
other potential  parties to resolve all claims  associated  with the State.  The
maximum state claim is $1.1 million.  Bagcraft has accrued  $120,000  related to
the State action in the Company's  consolidated financial statements at June 29,
1995 and December 29, 1994.

Bagcraft  was  listed  as a de  minimis  contributor  at the  American  Chemical
Services,  Inc. off-site disposal  location in Griffith,  Indiana.  This site is
included in the EPA's National  Priorities List. Bagcraft is presently unable to
determine its liability, if any, with respect to this site.

Bagcraft   is   presently   undertaking   a   soil   remediation   project   for
solvent-contaminated   soil  at  its   Chicago   manufacturing   facility.   The
environmental  firm responsible for implementing the remediation has recommended
that a soil vapor extraction  process be used, at an estimated cost of $175,000.
Although there can be no assurances that remediation  costs will not exceed this
estimate,  in the  opinion  of  management,  no  material  additional  costs are
anticipated.

In  April  1994,  the  EPA  notified  the  Company  that  it  was a  potentially
responsible party for the disposal of hazardous  substances  (principally  waste
oil) at a disposal site in Palmer,  Massachusetts  generated by a  manufacturing
facility formerly operated by the Clearshield Plastics Division  ("Clearshield")
of Harvel Industries,  Inc. ("Harvel"), a majority owned subsidiary of ARTRA. In
1985,  Harvel was merged into ARTRA's  Fill-Mor  subsidiary.  This site has been
included on the EPA's National  Priorities  List. In February 1983,  Harvel sold
the assets of Clearshield to Envirodyne.  The alleged waste disposal occurred in
1977 and 1978, at which time Harvel was a majority-owned subsidiary of ARTRA. In
May 1994,  Envirodyne and its Clearshield  National,  Inc. subsidiary sued ARTRA
for indemnification in connection with this proceeding.  The cost of clean-up at
the Palmer, Massachusetts site has been estimated to be approximately $7 million
according  to proofs of claim  filed in the  adversary  proceeding.  A committee
formed by the named potentially  responsible parties has estimated the liability
respecting the activities of Clearshield to be $400,000.  ARTRA has not made any
independent  investigation  of the  amount  of its  potential  liability  and no
assurances can be given that it will not substantially exceed $400,000.

In a case titled Sherwin-Williams Company v. ARTRA GROUP Incorporated,  filed in
1991 in the United States District Court for Maryland,  Sherwin-Williams Company
("Sherwin-Williams")  brought  suit against  ARTRA and other former  owners of a
paint  manufacturing  facility in  Baltimore,  Maryland for recovery of costs of
investigation and clean-up of hazardous  substances which were stored,  disposed
of or otherwise released at this manufacturing facility. This facility was owned
by Baltimore  Paint and Chemical  Company,  formerly a subsidiary  of ARTRA from
1968 to 1980.  Sherwin-William's  current  projection of the cost of clean-up is
approximately  $5 to $6 million.  The Company  has filed  counterclaims  against
Sherwin-Williams  and cross claims  against other former owners of the property.
The Company also is  vigorously  defending  this action and has raised  numerous
defenses.  Currently,  the case is in its  early  stages  of  discovery  and the
Company cannot determine what, if any, its liability may be in this matter.

In  connection  with this suit, in a case filed in 1992 in the Circuit Court for
Baltimore City,  Maryland,  American  Motorists  Insurance  Company ("AMICO") is
seeking a declaratory  judgment that it is not required to defend,  indemnify or
provide  insurance  coverage to ARTRA in  connection  with the  Sherwin-Williams
case. The Circuit Court ruled in favor of AMICO,  but in June 1994, the Court of
Special Appeals of Maryland reversed the final Circuit Court,  ruling that AMICO
was obligated to defend and indemnify ARTRA.

ARTRA was named as a defendant  in United  States v.  Chevron  Chemical  Company
brought  in the  United  States  District  Court  for the  Central  District  of
California  respecting  Operating  Industries,   Inc.  site  in  Monterey  Park,
California. This site is included on the EPA's National Priorities List. ARTRA's
involvement  stemmed from the alleged  disposal of hazardous  substances  by The
Synkoloid  Company  ("Synkoloid")  subsidiary  of  Baltimore  Paint and Chemical
Company, which was

<PAGE>

                   ARTRA GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)


formerly owned by ARTRA.  Synkoloid  manufactured spackling paste, wall coatings
and related  products,  certain of which  generated  hazardous  substances  as a
by-product of the manufacturing process.

ARTRA  entered  into a  consent  decree  with the EPA in which it  agreed to pay
$85,000  for one phase of the  clean-up  costs  for this  site;  however,  ARTRA
defaulted on its payment  obligation.  ARTRA is presently unable to estimate the
total  potential  liability for clean-up  costs at this site,  which clean-up is
expected to continue for a number of years.  The consent decree,  even if it had
been honored by ARTRA,  was not  intended to release  ARTRA from  liability  for
costs  associated with other phases of the clean-up at this site. The Company is
presently  unable determine what, if any,  additional  liability it may incur in
this matter.

In a case  titled  City of  Chicago  v. NL  Industries,  Inc.  and  ARTRA  GROUP
Incorporated,  filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County,  Illinois, the City of
Chicago  alleged that ARTRA (and NL  Industries,  Inc.) had  improperly  stored,
discarded and disposed of hazardous  substances  at the subject  site,  and that
ARTRA had conveyed the site to Goodwill  Industries to avoid clean-up  costs. At
the time the suit was  filed,  the  City of  Chicago  claimed  to have  expended
$1,000,000 in clean-up  costs.  ARTRA and NL Industries,  Inc. have counter sued
each other and have filed third party actions  against the subsequent  owners of
the  property.  The City of  Chicago  has made an offer to settle the matter for
$400,000 for all parties.  The parties are currently conducting  discovery.  The
Company  is  presently  unable  to  determine  ARTRA's  liability,  if  any,  in
connection with this case.

Lori has been notified by the Federal Environment Protection Agency that it is a
potentially  responsible  party for the disposal of hazardous  substances by its
predecessor  company at a site on Ninth  Avenue in Gary,  Indiana..  Lori has no
records  indicating  that it  deposited  hazardous  substances  at this site and
intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

ARTRA has total  advances  due from its  president,  Peter R.  Harvey,  of which
$5,177,000 and $3,205,000,  including accrued interest,  remained outstanding at
June 29, 1995 and  December 29, 1994.  The advances  bear  interest at the prime
rate plus 2% (11.0% at June 29, 1995).  This receivable from Peter R. Harvey has
been classified as a reduction of common shareholders' equity.

In May, 1991, ARTRA's wholly-owned Fill-Mor subsidiary made advances to Peter R.
Harvey.  The advances  provided for interest at the prime rate plus 2%. At March
30, 1995 and December 29, 1994, advances of $1,540,000 and $1,510,000,

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)



respectively,  including accrued interest,  were  outstanding.  In April,  1995,
these  advances  from  ARTRA's  Fill-Mor  subsidiary  to  Peter R.  Harvey  were
transferred to ARTRA as a dividend.

Commencing January 1, 1993 to date,  interest on all advances to Peter R. Harvey
has been accrued and fully reserved.  Interest accrued and fully reserved on the
advances to Peter R. Harvey for the six months  ended June 29, 1995 and June 30,
1994 totaled $222,000 and $157,000, respectively.

Peter R.  Harvey  has not  received  other  than  nominal  compensation  for his
services  as an officer or director  of ARTRA or any of its  subsidiaries  since
October  of  1990.  Additionally,  Mr.  Harvey  has  agreed  not to  accept  any
compensation  for his  services as an officer or director of ARTRA or any of its
subsidiaries  until  his  obligations  to  ARTRA,  described  above,  are  fully
satisfied.

Under  Pennsylvania  Business  Corporation  Law of 1988,  ARTRA (a  Pennsylvania
corporation)  is  permitted to make loans to officers  and  directors.  Further,
under the Delaware General Corporation Law, Fill-Mor (a Delaware corporation) is
permitted  to make  loans to an officer  (including  any  officer  who is also a
director,  as in the case of Peter R. Harvey),  whenever, in the judgment of the
directors, the loan can reasonably be expected to benefit Fill-Mor.

At the September 19, 1991 meeting, ARTRA's Board of Directors discussed, but did
not act on a proposal to ratify the  advances  made by ARTRA to Peter R. Harvey.
The 1992  advances made by ARTRA to Mr. Harvey were ratified by ARTRA's Board of
Directors.  In the case of the loan made by Fill-Mor to Mr. Harvey, the Board of
Directors of Fill-Mor  approved the borrowing of funds from Fill-Mor's bank loan
agreement, a condition of which was the application of a portion of the proceeds
thereof to the payment of certain of Mr. Harvey's loan  obligations to the bank.
However,  the  resolutions did not acknowledge the use of such proceeds for this
purpose  and the  formal  loan  documents  with the bank did not set forth  this
condition (though in fact, the proceeds were so applied by the bank).

As partial  collateral  for  amounts due from Peter R.  Harvey,  the Company has
received the pledge of 1,523 shares of ARTRA redeemable  preferred stock (with a
liquidation value of $1,523,000,  plus accrued dividends) which are owned by Mr.
Harvey.  In  addition,  Mr.  Harvey has  pledged a 25%  interest  in  Industrial
Communication Company (a private company). Such interest is valued by Mr. Harvey
at $800,000 to $1,000,000.

For a discussion of certain other related party debt obligations see Note 7.

Item 2.             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following  discussion  supplements  the  information  found in the financial
statements and related notes:


Changes in Business

         Arcar

As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed  consolidated  financial statements,  in
March 1994,  Bagcraft entered into an agreement to purchase the business assets,
subject to buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities,  of Arcar Graphics,  Inc.
("Arcar"),  a manufacturer and distributor of waterbase inks, for  consideration
of  $10,264,000  consisting of cash of $2,264,000  and  subordinated  promissory
notes  totaling  $8,000,000.  In  addition  to the  initial  consideration,  the
purchase  price may be increased  based upon  Arcar's  cumulative  earnings,  as
defined in the  purchase  agreement,  for the period from  January 1, 1994 until
December  31,  1997  ("earnout  compensation").  The  earnout  compensation,  if
applicable,  is payable on or before January 2, 1999 along with interest thereon
at the prime rate for the period January 1, 1998 until final payment. The seller
also  received a warrant to purchase  177,778  ARTRA common shares at a price of
$5.625 per share, the market value at the date of grant. Exercise of the warrant
is payable  only through a reduction of the  subordinated  promissory  notes and
accrued  interest  due the seller  under terms of the  purchase  agreement.  The
acquisition  of Arcar,  completed  on April 8, 1994,  was  accounted  for by the
purchase method and, accordingly,  the assets and liabilities of Arcar have been
included in ARTRA's financial statements at their estimated fair market value at
the date of acquisition.

On July 31, 1995,  ARTRA and  Bagcraft,  entered into a letter of intent to sell
the business assets,  subject to the buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities,
of Arcar. The purchase price shall be cash of $21,000,000 payable at closing and
the buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities.  Consummation of the transaction
is subject to certain  conditions,  including  performance  of the  buyer's  due
diligence,  buyer's financing of the acquisition and negotiation of a definitive
asset  purchase  agreement.  ARTRA  expects to use the net  proceeds to pay down
certain debt obligations, with the balance to be used for working capital.

         Envirodyne

As discussed in Note 4 to the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements in
March, 1989, Envirodyne Industries,  Inc. ("Envirodyne") and Emerald Acquisition
Corporation  ("Emerald") entered into a definitive agreement for a subsidiary of
Emerald to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Envirodyne common
stock.  Pursuant  to the terms of certain  letter  agreements,  ARTRA  agreed to
participate in the  transaction  and received  Envirodyne's  consent to sell its
then 4,830,000 Envirodyne common shares (a 26.3% interest) to Emerald. On May 3,
1989 the transaction was consummated.  ARTRA received  consideration  consisting
of: (i) cash of  $75,000,000;  (ii) a 27.5% common stock interest in Emerald and
(iii) Emerald junior debentures ("Junior Debentures") with a principal amount of
$20,992,710.  The Junior Debentures were scheduled to mature May 1, 2001, twelve
years from the date of  issuance,  and to accrue and pay interest in the form of
cash or additional Junior Debentures,  at Emerald's option,  semi-annually,  for
the first six years at the rate of 15% and to pay interest at the rate of 15% in
the form of cash thereafter, semi-annually in arrears. ARTRA's 27.5% interest in
Emerald  common  stock  and  Emerald  Junior  Debentures,  as  required  by  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No. 81, were
carried net of a valuation allowance.

On January 6, 1993, a group of  bondholders  filed an  involuntary  petition for
reorganization  of Envirodyne  under Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code. On
January 7, 1993,  Envirodyne  and certain of its  subsidiaries  filed  petitions
under Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code in the United  States  Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern  District of Illinois,  Eastern  Division.  Subsequently,
Emerald filed a voluntary  petition under Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code in
the same court.

On December 17, 1993 the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan
of  Reorganization as twice modified (the "Plan") with respect to Envirodyne and
certain of its  subsidiaries.  The  confirmation of the Plan was affirmed by the
United States  District Court for the Northern  District of Illinois on December
28, 1993 and Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries  emerged from Chapter 11
on December  31,  1993,  the  Effective  Date.  A notice of appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit was thereafter  filed by certain
holders of Envirodyne's 13.5% Subordinated Notes

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



Due 1996.  Envirodyne has filed a motion, which is currently pending, to dismiss
the appeal. Confirmation of the Plan was affirmed on appeal. The Emerald Chapter
11 case is still pending although ARTRA has moved to dismiss that case.

Envirodyne's plan of  reorganization  did not provide any consideration or value
to Emerald and Emerald,  therefore,  is without assets to provide value to ARTRA
for ARTRA's  investment in Emerald common stock and Emerald  Junior  Debentures.
See  discussion  below and in Note 13 Litigation  for remedies  being pursued by
ARTRA as  compensation  for the lost value of its  investment in Emerald  common
stock and Emerald Junior Debentures.

On November 2, 1993,  ARTRA  filed suit in the Circuit  Court of the  Eighteenth
Judicial  Circuit for the state of Illinois  (the State Court  Action")  against
Salomon  Brothers,  Inc.,  Salomon Brothers Holding  Company,  Inc.,  Charles K.
Bobrinskoy,  Michael J. Zimmerman  (collectively,  "Salomon  Defendants"),  D.P.
Kelly & Associates, L.P. ("DPK"), Donald P. Kelly ("Kelly Defendants" along with
DPK), James F. Massey and William  Rifkind.  On November 22, 1993, ARTRA filed a
First Amended Complaint. The defendants removed the case to the Bankruptcy Court
in which the Emerald Chapter 11 case is pending. On July 15, 1994 all but two of
ARTRA's causes of action were remanded to the state court.  The Bankruptcy Court
maintained  jurisdiction of ARTRA's claims against the individual defendants for
breaching  their  fiduciary duty as directors of Emerald to Emerald's  creditors
and interference with ARTRA's  contractual  relations with Emerald.  On April 7,
1995,  the Company's  appeal of the Bankruptcy  Court's  retention of claims was
denied. On July 26, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing these
claims.  On August 4, 1995,  ARTRA filed its Notice of Appeal of the  Bankruptcy
Court's order.

On November 23, 1994, the Company filed a Second Amended  Complaint  against the
Salomon  Defendants and the Kelly Defendants.  On December 21, 1994, the Salomon
Defendants and the Kelly  Defendants  brought  motions to dismiss ARTRA's Second
Amended Complaint in the State Court Action. On February 8, 1995, ARTRA's Second
Amended Complaint was dismissed in part, with leave to replead.

On March 10,  1995,  ARTRA filed a Third  Amended  Complaint  in the State court
Action.  On April 13,  1995,  the Salomon  Defendants  and the Kelly  Defendants
brought  motions to dismiss the Company's  Third Amended  Complaint.  On June 8,
1995, the Third Amended Complaint was dismissed in part, with leave to replead.

On July 19, 1995,  ARTRA filed a Fourth Amended  Counterclaim in the State Court
Action for breach of fiduciary  duty,  fraudulent  misrepresentation,  negligent
misrepresentation, breach of contract and promissory estopel. In the State Court
Action, ARTRA seeks compensatory damages of $136.2 million,  punitive damages of
$408.6 million and approximately $33 million in fees paid to Salomon.

The case is in its early stages and  discovery is just  beginning.  ARTRA cannot
predict, with any certainty, the outcome of the suit.

As discussed below in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section, on February
5, 1993 the Lori's New Dimensions subsidiary filed a petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code in the United States  Bankruptcy  Court
for the Southern  District of New York (Case No. 93 B 40653).  On April 9, 1993,
New Dimensions'  reorganization plan was confirmed by an order of the Bankruptcy
Court.  On May 3,  1993,  the  consummation  date  of  the  reorganization,  New
Dimensions  emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy court  protection.  On August 18,
1994, as amended  effective  December 23, 1994, ARTRA,  Lori's parent,  Fill-Mor
Holding, Inc. ("Fill-Mor"),  Lori and Lori's operating subsidiaries entered into
and agreement with Lori's bank lender to settle  obligations  due the bank under
terms of the bank loan  agreements  of Lori and its operating  subsidiaries  and
Fill-Mor.  Under terms of the amended settlement  agreement,  Lori's bank lender
received  all of the  assets of New  Dimensions  and New  Dimensions  terminated
operations   effective   December  27,  1994.  In  March,  1995,  the  remaining
indebtedness  of Lori and Fill-Mor was  discharged,  resulting in an  additional
extraordinary gain to Lori and Fill-Mor in 1995.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash and Cash Equivalents and Working Capital

Cash and cash equivalents  decreased $1,650,000 during the six months ended June
29, 1995.  Cash flows used by financing  activities of $2,616,000 and cash flows
used by operating activities of $722,000 exceeded cash flows from investing

activities  of  $1,688,000.   Cash  flows  used  by  financing  activities  were
attributable  to a net reduction of long-term debt  principally due to the March
15, 1995 maturity of a $2,500,000 note payable to the Arcar sellers.  Cash flows
used by operating activities were principally attributable to the Company's loss
from operations, partially offset by the effect of depreciation and amortization
and other  noncash  expenses.  Cash flows from  investing  activities  represent
proceeds from a settlement of notes receivable arising from the 1989 sale of the
former Welch Vacuum Technology subsidiary and the use of funds held in escrow at
December 29, 1994 for the payment of certain  liabilities,  net of  expenditures
for plant and equipment and retail fixtures.

The Company's  consolidated  working capital deficiency  increased $4,972,000 to
approximately  $65,444,000  during  the six  months  ended  June 29,  1995.  The
increase  in  working  capital  deficiency  is  principally  attributable  to an
increase in trade credit  resulting  from the  Company's  loss from  operations,
exclusive of the effect of certain noncash expenses.


         Status of Debt Agreements and Operating Plans

At June 29, 1995 the Company's  corporate entity was in default of provisions of
certain of its credit agreements. Under certain subsidiary debt agreements ARTRA
is limited in the amounts it can withdraw from its operating  subsidiaries.  See
Notes 7 and 8 to the Company's condensed  consolidated  financial statements and
discussion below.

Effective  August 18, 1994,  as amended  effective  December  23,  1994,  ARTRA,
Fill-Mor,  Lori and Lori's operating subsidiaries entered into an agreement with
Lori's  bank lender to settle  obligations  due the bank under terms of the bank
loan agreements of Lori and its operating  subsidiaries and Fill-Mor. See Note 6
to the condensed consolidated financial statements and discussion below.


         ARTRA Corporate

At December  30,  1993,  $18,452,000  in ARTRA  notes and  related  loan fees of
$1,107,000   were  payable  to  a  bank.  On  December  31,  1993,  a  religious
organization, currently holding approximately 5.8% of ARTRA's outstanding common
stock,  made a $2,000,000  short-term  loan to the Company with interest at 10%.
See  Note 7 to the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  for  further
discussion of this  transaction  and  additional  consideration  received by the
religious  organization.  The proceeds of this loan were remitted to the bank to
pay  interest  and other costs due through  December  31, 1993 and to reduce the
principal amount outstanding on the bank notes to $17,063,000.

On March 31, 1994,  ARTRA entered into a series of  agreements  with its primary
bank lender and with a private  corporation  that had  guaranteed  $2,500,000 of
ARTRA's  bank  notes.  Per  terms of the  agreements,  the  private  corporation
purchased  $2,500,000  in ARTRA notes from  ARTRA's  bank  thereby  reducing the
outstanding principal on ARTRA's bank notes to $14,563,000 at March 31, 1994 and
the bank released the private corporation from its $2,500,000 loan guaranty.  As
consideration  for  purchasing  $2,500,000  of ARTRA  bank  notes,  the  private
corporation  received a $2,500,000  note payable from ARTRA bearing  interest at
the prime rate. See Note 6 to the condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
for further discussion of this transaction and additional consideration received
by the private  corporation.  A major  shareholder and executive  officer of the
private corporation is an ARTRA director.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



The  $14,563,000  of ARTRA bank notes were  payable on September  30,  1994.  On
October 25, 1994,  ARTRA's  bank lender filed suit against  ARTRA in the Circuit
Court of Cook County,  Illinois alleging  nonpayment by ARTRA of the amounts due
under the above notes payable to the bank. The bank has requested that the court
enter  judgment  in its  favor  against  ARTRA in the  amount  of  approximately
$16,000,000,  which includes the principal  balance of the notes of $14,563,000,
plus interest, costs and fees.

In June 1995 ARTRA entered into an agreement to settle  amounts due ARTRA by the
former  Welch  subsidiary  under  terms  of a  noncompetition  agreement  and  a
subordinated  note in the principal  amount of  $2,500,000  received by ARTRA as
part of the proceeds  from the 1989 sale of Welch.  Per terms of the  settlement
agreement,  ARTRA  received cash of $3,000,000  and a  subordinated  note in the
principal  amount of $640,000 payable June 30, 2001. The cash proceeds were used
for a  $2,500,000  reduction  of  amounts  due on the above  ARTRA bank notes to
$12,063,000 at June 29, 1995,  with the remainder used for working  capital.  In
conjunction  with this  transaction,  ARTRA entered into a letter agreement with
the bank  whereby  the bank  agreed to not to  exercise  any of its  rights  and
remedies  with respect to amounts due the bank under its ARTRA notes and certain
obligations of ARTRA's president,  Peter R. Harvey. In exchange for a payment of
$5,700,000,  to be paid  with  ARTRA's  share of the  proceeds  from the sale of
Arcar,  the bank  agreed to  discharge  all amounts due the bank by ARTRA and to
sell the obligations of Peter R. Harvey due the bank to ARTRA. Upon consummation
of this  transaction,  ARTRA  will  recognize  a gain on the  discharge  of this
indebtedness.

As  discussed in Note 15 to the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements,
ARTRA has total  advances  due from its  president,  Peter R.  Harvey,  of which
$5,177,000 and $3,205,000,  including accrued interest,  remained outstanding at
June 29, 1995 and  December 29, 1994.  The advances  bear  interest at the prime
rate plus 2% (11.0% at June 29, 1995).  This receivable from Peter R. Harvey has
been classified as a reduction of common shareholders' equity.

In May, 1991, ARTRA's wholly-owned Fill-Mor subsidiary made advances to Peter R.
Harvey.  The advances  provided for interest at the prime rate plus 2%. At March
30,  1995  and  December  29,  1994,  advances  of  $1,540,000  and  $1,510,000,
respectively,  including accrued interest,  were  outstanding.  In April,  1995,
these  advances  from  ARTRA's  Fill-Mor  subsidiary  to  Peter R.  Harvey  were
transferred to ARTRA as a dividend.

Commencing January 1, 1993 to date,  interest on all advances to Peter R. Harvey
has been accrued and fully reserved.

Peter R.  Harvey  has not  received  other  than  nominal  compensation  for his
services  as an officer or director  of ARTRA or any of its  subsidiaries  since
October  of  1990.  Additionally,  Mr.  Harvey  has  agreed  not to  accept  any
compensation  for his  services as an officer or director of ARTRA or any of its
subsidiaries  until  his  obligations  to  ARTRA,  described  above,  are  fully
satisfied.

Under  Pennsylvania  Business  Corporation  Law of 1988,  ARTRA (a  Pennsylvania
corporation)  is  permitted to make loans to officers  and  directors.  Further,
under the Delaware General Corporation Law, Fill-Mor (a Delaware corporation) is
permitted  to make  loans to an officer  (including  any  officer  who is also a
director,  as in the case of Peter R. Harvey),  whenever, in the judgment of the
directors, the loan can reasonably be expected to benefit Fill-Mor.

At the September 19, 1991 meeting, ARTRA's Board of Directors discussed, but did
not act on a proposal to ratify the  advances  made by ARTRA to Peter R. Harvey.
The 1992  advances made by ARTRA to Mr. Harvey were ratified by ARTRA's Board of
Directors.  In the case of the loan made by Fill-Mor to Mr. Harvey, the Board of
Directors of Fill-Mor  approved the borrowing of funds from Fill-Mor's bank loan
agreement, a condition of which was the application of a portion of the proceeds
thereof to the payment of certain of Mr. Harvey's loan  obligations to the bank.
However,  the  resolutions did not acknowledge the use of such proceeds for this
purpose  and the  formal  loan  documents  with the bank did not set forth  this
condition (though in fact, the proceeds were so applied by the bank).

As partial  collateral  for  amounts due from Peter R.  Harvey,  the Company has
received the pledge of 1,523 shares of ARTRA redeemable  preferred stock (with a
liquidation value of $1,523,000,  plus accrued dividends) which are owned by Mr.
Harvey.  In  addition,  Mr.  Harvey has  pledged a 25%  interest  in  Industrial
Communication Company (a private company). Such interest is valued by Mr. Harvey
at $800,000 to $1,000,000.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



ARTRA has entered  into  various  agreements  under which it has sold its common
shares along with options that require ARTRA to  repurchase  these shares at the
option of the holder,  principally one year after the date of each agreement. At
June 29, 1995,  options are outstanding that, if exercised,  would require ARTRA
to  repurchase  369,679  shares of its common stock for an  aggregate  amount of
approximately  $4,736,000.  ARTRA does not have  available  funds to satisfy its
obligations if these options were  exercised.  However the holders of redeemable
common stock have the option to sell their  shares in the market  subject to the
limitations  of Securities  Act Rule 144. At its  discretion  and subject to its
financial  ability,  ARTRA could reimburse the  optionholders for any short-fall
resulting from such sale.

As  discussed in Note 10 to the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements,
ARTRA,  Bagcraft and Bagcraft's  parent BCA Holdings,  Inc. ("BCA") have various
redeemable   preferred  stock  issues  with  an  aggregate   carrying  value  of
approximately  $17,895,000  outstanding  at  June  29,  1995.  These  redeemable
preferred stock issues have various maturity dates commencing in 1997.

The Company has suffered  recurring losses from operations and has a net capital
deficiency. As a result of these factors, the Company has experienced difficulty
in obtaining adequate financing to replace certain current credit  arrangements,
certain  of  which  are in  default,  to fund  its debt  service  and  liquidity
requirements in 1995. Due to its limited ability to receive operating funds from
its  operating   subsidiaries,   ARTRA   historically   has  met  its  operating
expenditures  with  funds  generated  by such  alternative  sources  as  private
placements of ARTRA common stock,  sales of ARTRA common stock with put options,
loans from officers/directors and private investors, as well as through sales of
assets  and/or  other  equity  infusions.  ARTRA  plans to continue to seek such
alternative sources of funds to meet its future operating expenditures.

ARTRA does not currently have available  funds to repay the principal  amount of
its bank notes as of June 29,  1995.  On October 25,  1994,  ARTRA's bank lender
filed suit against ARTRA in the Circuit Court of Cook County,  Illinois alleging
nonpayment  by ARTRA of the  amounts  due under the above  notes  payable to the
bank.  The bank has requested that the court enter judgment in its favor against
ARTRA in the amount of approximately  $16,000,000,  which includes the principal
balance of the notes of $14,563,000, plus interest, costs and fees.

In June 1995 ARTRA entered into an agreement to settle  amounts due ARTRA by the
former  Welch  subsidiary  under  terms  of a  noncompetition  agreement  and  a
subordinated  note in the principal  amount of  $2,500,000  received by ARTRA as
part of the proceeds  from the 1989 sale of Welch.  Per terms of the  settlement
agreement,  ARTRA  received cash of $3,000,000  and a  subordinated  note in the
principal  amount of $640,000 payable June 30, 2001. The cash proceeds were used
for a  $2,500,000  reduction  of  amounts  due on the above  ARTRA bank notes to
$12,063,000 at June 29, 1995,  with the remainder used for working  capital.  In
conjunction  with this  transaction,  ARTRA entered into a letter agreement with
the bank  whereby  the bank  agreed to not to  exercise  any of its  rights  and
remedies  with respect to amounts due the bank under its ARTRA notes and certain
obligations of ARTRA's president,  Peter R. Harvey. In exchange for a payment of
$5,700,000,  to be paid  with  ARTRA's  share of the  proceeds  from the sale of
Arcar,  the bank  agreed to  discharge  all amounts due the bank by ARTRA and to
sell the  obligations  of Peter R. Harvey to ARTRA.  Upon  consummation  of this
transaction, ARTRA will recognize a gain on the discharge of this indebtedness.

ARTRA will continue to have  significant  levels of  indebtedness in the future.
The level of  indebtedness  may affect the rate at which or the ability of ARTRA
to  effectuate  the  refinancing  or  restructuring  of debt.  ARTRA  intends to
continue to negotiate  with its  creditors to extend due dates to allow ARTRA to
maximize value from possible sale of assets and to explore various other sources
of  funding  to meet its future  operating  expenditures.  If ARTRA is unable to
negotiate  extensions  with its  creditors  and  complete  the  above  mentioned
transactions,  ARTRA could suffer severe adverse consequences,  and as a result,
ARTRA may be forced to  liquidate  its assets or file for  protection  under the
Bankruptcy Code.

ARTRA's corporate entity has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



         Bagcraft

Effective December 17, 1993,  Bagcraft refinanced its bank debt by entering into
a Credit  Agreement  that provides for a revolving  credit loan and two separate
term loans. The term loans were separate two-year facilities  initially totaling
$12,000,000  (Term Loan A) and $8,000,000 (Term Loan B), bearing interest at the
lender's index rate plus 1.75% and 3%,  respectively.  The principal  under Term
Loan A is payable at maturity  (December 17,  1995),  unless  accelerated  under
terms of the Credit  Agreement.  The  principal  under  Term Loan B  ($5,000,000
outstanding at June 29, 1995) is payable in varying  monthly  installments  from
January  1, 1994 to  December  1, 1995,  with the  remaining  principal  balance
payable at maturity  (December 17, 1995),  unless accelerated under terms of the
Credit Agreement.  At June 29, 1995, interest rates on Term Loan A and Term Loan
B were 10.75% and 12.0%, respectively.

The amount available to Bagcraft under the revolving credit loan is subject to a
borrowing base, as defined in the agreement, up to a maximum of $18,000,000.  At
June 29, 1995  approximately  $1,150,000  was  available  and unused by Bagcraft
under the revolving credit loan. The revolving credit loan bears interest at the
lender's index rate plus 1.5%. The revolving  credit loan is scheduled to become
due and payable  upon  maturity of the Credit  Agreement  (December  17,  1995),
unless  accelerated  under terms of the Credit  Agreement.  At June 29, 1995 the
interest rate on the revolving credit loan was 10.5%.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of
the  assets of  Bagcraft.  The Credit  Agreement  contains  various  restrictive
covenants,  that among other restrictions,  require Bagcraft to maintain minimum
levels of tangible net worth and liquidity  levels and limit  additional  loans,
dividend  payments,  capital  expenditures and payments to related  parties.  In
addition,  the Credit Agreement  prohibits changes in ownership of Bagcraft.  At
June 29, 1995  Bagcraft was not in  compliance  with certain  provisions  of its
Credit Agreement.  Bagcraft is currently negotiating with its lender to amend or
restructure the Credit Agreement.

As additional compensation for borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the lender
received a  detachable  warrant  with a put option to  purchase up to 10% of the
fully  diluted  common  equity of  Bagcraft.  The  warrant  allows  Bagcraft  to
reacquire up to 2-1/2% of Bagcraft's fully diluted common equity from the lender
contingent  upon  Bagcraft's  repayment  of Term Loan B as defined in the Credit
Agreement.  Under  certain  conditions  Bagcraft is required to  repurchase  the
warrant  from the  lender.  The  determination  of the  repurchase  price of the
warrant is to be based on the  warrant's  pro rata share of the  highest of book
value, appraised value or market value of Bagcraft.

In March,  1994  Bagcraft  and the City of Baxter  Springs,  Kansas  completed a
$12,500,000  financing package associated with the construction of a new 265,000
sq. ft. production  facility in Baxter Springs,  Kansas.  The financing package,
funded by a  combination  of  Federal,  state and local  funds,  consists of the
following  loan  agreements  payable by Bagcraft  directly to the City of Baxter
Springs:

         A $7,000,000  promissory  note payable in ten  installments of $700,000
         due annually on July 21 of each year beginning in 1995 through maturity
         on July 21,  2004.  Interest,  at varying  rates from 4.6% to 6.6%,  is
         payable  semi-annually.  At June 29, 1995  Bagcraft  had  borrowed  the
         maximum available under this loan agreement.

         A  $5,000,000   subordinated   promissory   note  payable  as  follows:
         $2,000,000  installments due June 30,1998 and June 30, 1999; $1,000,000
         due on January 2, 2000. The  subordinated  promissory  note is interest
         free  provided  that loan  payments  are made on a timely  basis and no
         events of default occur under terms of the agreement.  At June 29, 1995
         Bagcraft  had had borrowed the maximum of  $5,000,000  available  under
         this loan agreement.

         A  $250,000  subordinated   promissory  note  payable  in  240  monthly
         installments  commencing  August 1, 1995  through  maturity on July 18,
         2015. The  subordinated  promissory note is interest free provided that
         loan payments are made on a timely basis and no events of default occur
         under terms of the  agreement.  June 29, 1995 Bagcraft had borrowed the
         maximum amount available under this loan agreement.

         A $250,000  subordinated  promissory note payable January 20, 2005. The
         subordinated  promissory  note is  interest  free  provided  that  loan
         payments  are made on a timely  basis and no events  of  default  occur
         under terms of the  agreement.  At June 29, 1995  Bagcraft had borrowed
         the maximum amount available under this loan agreement.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



Borrowings under the above loan agreements are collateralized by a first lien on
the land and building at the Baxter Springs, Kansas production facility and by a
second lien on certain  machinery and equipment.  At June 29, 1995,  $546,000 of
borrowings  from the above loan  agreements  is  reflected  in the  Consolidated
Balance Sheet in current assets as restricted cash and equivalents. These funds,
invested in interest bearing cash  equivalents,  are restricted for expenditures
associated with the Baxter Springs, Kansas project.

The new Kansas  facility  replaced  Bagcraft's  production  facility  in Joplin,
Missouri. Additionally, with the completion of the new Kansas facility, Bagcraft
converted the manufacturing facility in Forest Park, Georgia into a distribution
facility.  The former Carteret,  New Jersey facility was sold in December,  1994
and the  proceeds of  approximately  $1,700,000  were used to reduce  borrowings
under Bagcraft's Credit Agreement.

As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed  consolidated  financial statements,  on
April 8, 1994,,  Bagcraft  completed the acquisition of Arcar for  consideration
consisting of cash of $2,264,000  and  subordinated  promissory  notes  totaling
$8,000,000.  The promissory notes provide for interest payable  quarterly at the
prime  rate (as  defined  in the  agreement).  The  promissory  notes  mature as
follows:  $2,500,000 payable March 15, 1995;  $2,500,000 payable March 15, 1996;
$2,500,000  payable  March  15,  1997;  $500,000  payable  March 15,  1998.  The
$2,500,000  note due March 15,  1995 was funded by a  combination  of funds from
operations  and  borrowings on Arcar's  revolving  credit loan.  The seller also
received a warrant to purchase  177,778 ARTRA common shares at a price of $5.625
per share.  Exercise of the warrant is payable  only  through a reduction of the
subordinated promissory notes and accrued interest due the seller under terms of
the purchase agreement.

Effective April 8, 1994,  Arcar entered into a Loan and Security  Agreement (the
"Agreement")  with a bank that  provides for a revolving  credit loan and a term
loan. The term loan, in the principal  amount of  $2,750,000,  bears interest at
the prime  rate plus  .75%.  The  principal  under the term loan is  payable  in
forty-eight varying monthly  installments from April 30, 1995 to March 31, 1999,
unless accelerated under terms of the Agreement.

The amount  available to Arcar under the  revolving  credit loan is subject to a
borrowing base, as defined in the agreement, up to a maximum of $1,500,000.  The
revolving  credit loan bears  interest at the prime rate plus .5% and originally
became due and payable  March 31, 1995,  unless  accelerated  under terms of the
Agreement.  The revolving credit loan, renewable solely at the discretion of the
lender for additional  one year periods until  maturity of the Agreement  (March
31, 1999), has been renewed until March 31, 1996. At June 29, 1995 approximately
$950,000 was available and unused by Arcar under the revolving credit loan.

Borrowings under the Agreement are  collateralized  by substantially  all of the
assets of Arcar. The Agreement  contains  various  restrictive  covenants,  that
among other restrictions,  require Arcar to maintain minimum levels of net worth
and liquidity  levels and limit additional  loans,  dividend  payments,  capital
expenditures and payments to related parties.

On July 31, 1995,  ARTRA and  Bagcraft,  entered into a letter of intent to sell
the business assets,  subject to the buyer's assumption of certain  liabilities,
of Arcar.  Consummation  of the  transaction  is subject to certain  conditions,
including  performance  of the buyer's due diligence,  buyer's  financing of the
acquisition  and  negotiation of a definitive  asset purchase  agreement.  ARTRA
expects to use the net proceeds to pay down certain debt  obligations,  with the
balance to be used for working capital.

Bagcraft has historically  generated cash flow from operations and has available
funds under its revolving credit loan.  These sources should provide  sufficient
cash flow to fund  Bagcraft's  short-term  capital  requirements.  As  discussed
above,  Bagcraft is currently negotiating to amend or restructure the borrowings
under the Credit Agreement.  It is anticipated that the successful completion of
these  negotiations,  of which there can be no assurance,  will provide Bagcraft
with the ability to fund its long-term capital requirements.

Bagcraft  anticipates  that its 1995 capital  expenditures,  principally for the
Kansas facility and manufacturing  equipment,  will be approximately  $2,500,000
and will be funded  principally from the above mentioned  credit  facilities and
also from operations.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



         Lori

In recent years,  Lori has  experienced a pattern of  significantly  lower sales
levels  and  related  operating  losses  primarily  due to a shift in the buying
patterns  of  its  major  customers  (i.e.  certain  mass   merchandisers)  from
participation  in the Lori's service program to purchases of costume jewelry and
accessories  directly  from  manufacturers.  As  a  result  of  the  significant
operating loss incurred in 1992, on February 5, 1993,  the Company's  former New
Dimensions  subsidiary filed a petition for  reorganization  under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code. On April 9, 1993, New Dimensions'  reorganization  plan was
confirmed  by an  order  of  the  Bankruptcy  Court  and on  May  3,  1993,  the
consummation date of the reorganization,  New Dimensions emerged from Chapter 11
bankruptcy court protection. Lori assumed and guaranteed certain New Dimensions'
pre-bankruptcy  loans  payable  to its  bank  and the  bank  also  provided  New
Dimensions  with certain  credit  facilities.  Additionally,  Lori's bank lender
provided  Lawrence and Rosecraft with new credit facilities in the first quarter
of 1993.

At December 31, 1993 and during 1994, Lori and its operating  subsidiaries  were
not in  compliance  with  certain  provisions  of  their  respective  bank  loan
agreements.

Effective  August  18,  1994,  as amended  December  23,  1994,  Lori and Lori's
operating  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  "Borrowers"),  ARTRA and  Fill-Mor
entered into an agreement with Lori's bank lender to settle  obligations due the
bank  under  terms  of the  bank  loan  agreements  of Lori  and  its  operating
subsidiaries.

Per terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, borrowings due the bank under the
loan agreements of the Borrowers and Fill-Mor  (approximately  $25,000,000 as of
December 23, 1994), plus amounts due the bank for accrued interest and fees were
reduced to $10,500,000 as of December 23, 1994 (of which $7,855,000 pertained to
Lori's obligation to the bank and $2,645,000 pertained to Fill-Mor's  obligation
to the  bank).  Upon the  satisfaction  of  certain  conditions  of the  Amended
Settlement  Agreement  in March 1995,  as discussed  below,  the balance of this
indebtedness was discharged.

In  conjunction  with the Amended  Settlement  Agreement,  ARTRA  entered into a
$1,850,000  short-term  loan agreement with a  non-affiliated  corporation,  the
proceeds of which were advanced to Lori and used to fund amounts due the bank as
discussed  below.  The loan, due June 30, 1995, with interest payable monthly at
10%, is  collateralized  by 100,000  shares of Lori common stock.  These 100,000
Lori common shares,  originally issued to the bank under terms of the August 18,
1994 Settlement Agreement,  were carried in the Company's condensed consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 as restricted common stock.
In August,  1995 the loan was extended  until  September 15, 1995 and the lender
received the above mentioned 100,000 Lori common shares as consideration for the
loan extension.

In  exchange  for the  reduction  of  amounts  due the bank,  and as  additional
consideration   for  the   $1,850,000   short-term   loan   agreement  from  the
non-affiliated corporation,  the Borrowers, ARTRA and Fill-Mor agreed to pay the
following  consideration,  which  supersedes the  consideration  agreed to under
terms of the August 18, 1994 Settlement Agreement:

             A)   A cash  payment  to the  bank of  $1,900,000, which  was  made
                  prior to  consummation  of the  Amended Settlement Agreement.

             B)   400,000  shares of ARTRA common  stock..  These  400,000 ARTRA
                  common shares were  originally  issued to the bank under terms
                  of the August 18, 1994 Settlement Agreement. The bank retained
                  100,000  shares and the  non-affiliated  corporation  received
                  300,000 shares as additional  consideration for its short-term
                  loan.

             C)   Assignment to the  bank  of all of  the  assets of Lori's  New
                  Dimensions subsidiary.

             D)   A $750,000 note payable to the bank due March 31, 1995.


Additionally, ARTRA advanced $400,000 to Lori to be used to fund the installment
payment due December 31, 1994 for unsecured  claims arising from the May 3, 1993
reorganization of New Dimensions.

<PAGE>

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (continued)



The August 18, 1994  settlement  agreement  required ARTRA to contribute cash of
$1,500,000 to Lori for working capital.  ARTRA's cash contribution was funded by
private  placements  of  ARTRA  common  stock.  An   officer/director   of  Lori
participated in the private placement of ARTRA common stock purchasing  $150,000
of ARTRA common stock (37,500 shares),  subject to the same terms and conditions
as the other outside investors.

Lori  recognized  an  extraordinary  gain of  $8,965,000  ($1.57  per  share) in
December  1994 as a result of the  reduction  of amounts  due the bank under the
loan  agreements  of  the  Borrowers  and  Fill-Mor  to  $10,500,000  (of  which
$7,855,000  pertained to Lori's obligation to the bank and $2,645,000  pertained
to  Fill-Mor's  obligation  to the  bank) as of  December  23,  1994.  Lori also
recorded  a  charge  against  operations  of  $10,800,000  in  December  1994 to
write-off New Dimensions' remaining goodwill.

In  March,  1995 the  $750,000  note  due the  bank  was paid and the  remaining
indebtedness  of Lori and Fill-Mor was  discharged,  resulting in an  additional
extraordinary  gain to Lori and Fill-Mor of $6,657,000  ($2.04 per share) in the
first quarter of 1995. The $750,000 note payment was funded with the proceeds of
a  $850,000  short-term  loan from a director  of Lori.  The loan  provides  for
interest at the prime rate plus 1%. As  consideration  for assisting in the debt
restructuring,  the  director  received  150,000  Lori common  shares  valued at
$337,500  ($2.25 per share) based upon Lori's  closing market value on March 30,
1995.

In recent years, New Dimensions had experienced a pattern of significantly lower
sales levels and related operating losses primarily due to a shift in the buying
patterns  of  its  major  customers  (i.e.  certain  mass   merchandisers)  from
participation  in the New  Dimension's  service  program to purchases of costume
jewelry and accessories  directly from  manufacturers.  In the fourth quarter of
1994, New Dimensions' largest customer, Wal-Mart, ended its participation in New
Dimension's service program.  Accordingly,  the assignment to the Company's bank
lender of all of the assets of the New Dimensions  subsidiary in accordance with
terms of the Amended  Settlement  Agreement,  resulted in New Dimensions ceasing
its  operations  effective  December 27,  1994.  Due to the pattern of operating
losses,  New  Dimensions  cessation  of  operations  is not  expected  to have a
material  adverse  effect on the  financial  condition,  liquidity or results of
operations of the Company in the immediate future.

At March 31,  1995 and at  December  31,  1994,  Lori had  anticipated  that the
restructuring  of its debt (see Note 6 to the Company's  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements),  along with a  consolidation  and  restructuring  of its
operations  in  order  to  reduce   overhead   costs  and  improve   operational
efficiencies, would permit it to obtain a sufficient level of borrowings to fund
its  capital  requirements  in 1995.  During  the second  quarter  of 1995,  due
primarily to  competitive  conditions in the costume  jewelry  industry,  Lori's
operating  subsidiaries  experienced  a reduction in business with certain major
customers.  Additionally,  Lori's operating  subsidiaries  discontinued  certain
unprofitable  programs with other  customers  resulting in charges to operations
for merchandise  credits and inventory  valuation  allowances totaling $450,000.
Due to the continued  losses from operations and the inability of Lori to obtain
conventional bank financing, Lori determined that its remaining goodwill balance
could no longer be recovered over its remaining life through  forecasted  future
operations.  Accordingly,  the Company  recorded a charge against  operations of
$6,430,000 ($.96 per share) to write-off all of the goodwill of Lori (see Note 5
to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements).

Lori's  business  plan  for the  remainder  of 1995 is  based  on the  continued
dependence upon certain major  customers which include Target Stores,  Walgreens
and Wal-Mart. The Company does not have sales contracts with its customers.

At  March  31,  1995,   subsequent  to  the  discharge  of  Lori's  former  bank
indebtedness,  Lori  did not have a  credit  facility  in place to fund its 1995
capital  requirements.  Lori entered into  negotiations  with various  financial
institutions  and other  lenders to obtain a working  capital  financing.  These
negotiations did not result in the placement of a credit facility.  During June,
1995,  Lori  entered  into a series  of  agreements  with  certain  unaffiliated
investors that provided for $700,000 of short-term loans due January 1, 1996. In
August,  1995 Lori obtained a credit  facility for the factoring of the accounts
receivable of its costume jewelry  operations.  The credit facility provides for
advances of 80% of  receivables  assigned,  after  allowances  for markdowns and
other  merchandise  credits.  The  factoring  charge,  a minimum of 1.75% of the
receivables

<PAGE>

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (continued)



assigned,  increases  on a sliding  scale if the  receivables  assigned  are not
collected   within  45  days.   Borrowings   under  the  credit   facility   are
collateralized  by the accounts  receivable,  inventory  and equipment of Lori's
operating subsidiaries and guaranteed by Lori.

The above  borrowings  are not  sufficient  to  adequately  fund Lori's  capital
requirements  for the remainder of 1995. Lori continues to search for additional
funding to meet its capital  requirements  for the remainder of 1995 and beyond,
either through borrowings or equity infusions.  Additionally, Lori is attempting
to increase sales through the  solicitation of new customers and the addition of
new programs with existing  customers such that operating  results will improve.
However,  there can be no  assurance  that such efforts will result in increased
sales and  operating  profits.  If Lori is unable to obtain  additional  working
capital  borrowings  or  equity  infusions  to fund  its  operations  in for the
remainder of 1995 and beyond,  and improve the results of operations,  it may be
forced to liquidate its assets or file for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

Rosecraft, Lawrence and Lori's corporate entity have no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

During the six months ended June 29,  1995,  ARTRA made net advances of $220,000
to Lori.  During  1994,  ARTRA  made net  advances  to Lori of  $2,531,000.  The
advances  consisted of a $1,850,000  short-term  note with  interest at 10%, the
proceeds of which were used to fund the  $1,900,000  cash payment to the bank in
conjunction with the Amended  Settlement  Agreement with Lori's bank lender, and
certain  non-interest  bearing  advances  used  to  fund  Lori  working  capital
requirements..

Effective December 29, 1994 ARTRA exchanged $2,242,000 of its notes and advances
for additional Lori Series C preferred stock. Additionally,  the August 18, 1994
Settlement  Agreement  required ARTRA to contribute cash of $1,500,000 and ARTRA
common stock with a fair market value of $2,500,000 to Lori's capital account.


The common stock and  virtually  all the assets of the Company and its operating
subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral for the Company's and its operating
subsidiaries'  bank  borrowings.  Under certain debt  agreements  the Company is
limited in the amounts it can withdraw from its operating subsidiaries.  At June
29, 1995  substantially  all cash and equivalents on the Company's  consolidated
balance  sheet  were  restricted  to use  by and  for  the  Company's  operating
subsidiaries.  Due to the limited  ability of the Company to receive  funds from
its operating subsidiaries, effective July 1, 1989, ARTRA placed a moratorium on
the  declaration  and accrual of  dividends  on its Lori  preferred  stock.  The
moratorium has been extended indefinitely.

The Company's  operating  subsidiaries  sell all of their  products  directly to
their  customers.  On a very  limited  basis  certain  customers  may be offered
extended  payment terms beyond 30 days depending upon prevailing trade practices
and financial strength.


         Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are the defendants in various  business-related
litigation and environmental  matters. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated
financial  statements.  At June 29, 1995 and December 29, 1994,  the Company had
accrued $1,500,000 for potential  business-related  litigation and environmental
liabilities.  However,  as discussed above ARTRA may not have available funds to
pay   liabilities   arising  out  of  these   business-related   litigation  and
environmental  matters  or,  in  certain  instances,  to  provide  for its legal
defense.  ARTRA could  suffer  severe  adverse  consequences  in the event of an
unfavorable judgment in any of these matters.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (continued)



         Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

At June 29, 1995, the Company and its  subsidiaries  had Federal income tax loss
carryforwards  of  approximately  $95,000,000  available  to be applied  against
future taxable income,  if any. ARTRA's tax loss  carryforwards of approximately
$42,000,000 expire principally in 2003 - 2009. ARTRA's  discontinued  Ultrasonix
and  Ratex   subsidiaries   had  Federal  income  tax  loss   carryforwards   of
approximately $11,000,000 available to be applied against future taxable income,
if any.  Lori  has  Federal  income  tax  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately
$53,000,000  available to be applied against future Lori taxable income, if any,
expiring  principally  in 1995 - 2009. In recent  years,  the Company has issued
shares of its common stock to repay various debt  obligations,  as consideration
for acquisitions,  to fund working capital  obligations and as consideration for
various  other  transactions.  Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986
limits a corporation's  utilization of its Federal income tax loss carryforwards
when certain changes in the ownership of a corporation's common stock occurs. In
the  opinion  of  management,  the  Company  is not  currently  subject  to such
limitations   regarding  the   utilization   of  its  Federal  income  tax  loss
carryforwards.  Should the  Company  continue to issue a  significant  number of
shares of its common stock,  it could trigger a limitation that would prevent it
from   utilizing  a  substantial   portion  of  its  Federal   income  tax  loss
carryforwards.


         Results of Operations

The  assignment  to a bank lender of all of the assets of Lori's New  Dimensions
subsidiary in accordance with terms of the debt settlement  agreement,  resulted
in New Dimensions  terminating its operations  effective  December 27, 1994. The
results of operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 included
New Dimensions  net sales of $4,345,000  and $7,896,000 and operating  losses of
$403,000  and  $888,000,  respectively.  New  Dimensions  terminated  operations
effective  December 27, 1994. In recent years,  New Dimensions had experienced a
pattern of  significantly  lower  sales  levels  and  related  operating  losses
primarily  due to a shift in the buying  patterns of its major  customers  (i.e.
certain mass  merchandisers)  from participation in the New Dimension's  service
program  to  purchases  of  costume  jewelry  and   accessories   directly  from
manufacturers.  Due to the pattern of operating losses, New Dimensions cessation
of operations is not expected to have a material  adverse  effect on the results
of operations of the Company in the immediate future.


Three Months Ended June 29, 1995 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 1994

Net  sales  of  $37,463,000  for the  three  months  ended  June 29,  1995  were
$1,310,000,  or 3.4%,  lower than net sales for the three  months ended June 30,
1994.  Jewelry segment sales  decreased  $6,348,000,  or 70.2%,  while packaging
segment  sales  increased  $5,038,000 or 16.9%.  The 1995 jewelry  segment sales
decrease  is  principally  attributable  to the  termination  of New  Dimensions
operations effective December 27, 1994 and to a soft retail environment in 1995.
During the second quarter of 1995,  due primarily to  competitive  conditions in
the costume jewelry  industry,  the jewelry  segment  experienced a reduction in
business  with  certain  major  customers.  Additionally,  the  jewelry  segment
discontinued  certain  unprofitable  programs  with  other  customers.  The 1995
packaging  segment sales increase is primarily  attributable to increased volume
and increased 1995 selling prices due to the significant increase in paper costs
in the second half of 1994.

The Company's cost of sales of  $30,489,000  for the three months ended June 29,
1995  increased $ 1,217,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1994.
Cost of sales in the three  months  ended  June 29,  1995 was 81.4% of net sales
compared to a cost of sales  percentage of 75.5% for the three months ended June
30, 1994. Jewelry segment cost of sales of $2,233,000 for the three months ended
June 29, 1995  decreased  $2,973,000  as compared to the three months ended June
30, 1994.  Jewelry segment cost of sales in the three months ended June 29, 1995
was 82.9% of net sales  compared to a cost of sales  percentage of 57.6% for the
three months ended June 30, 1994. The 1995 cost of sales decrease is principally
attributable  to the  decrease  in sales  volume due to the  termination  of New
Dimensions operations effective December 27, 1994. The 1995 jewelry segment cost
of sales percentage increase of 25.3% is primarily attributable to a soft retail
environment  that resulted in depressed  operating  margins.  Additionally,  the
jewelry segment discontinued certain unprofitable  programs with other customers
resulting in charges to operations for inventory valuation allowances. Packaging
segment cost of sales  increased  $4,190,000  in the three months ended June 29,
1995, as compared to the three months ended

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



June 30,  1994.  Packaging  segment  cost of sales was 81.3% of net sales in the
three months ended June 29, 1995, as compared to 81.0% of net sales in the three
months ended June 29, 1995. The increase in the packaging  segment cost of sales
and cost of sales  percentage  is  primarily  attributable  to the  effect  of a
significant increase in paper costs in the second half of 1994, partially offset
by a more favorable product mix in 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,124,000 in the three months
ended June 29, 1995 as compared to $8,369,000 in the three months ended June 30,
1994.  Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were 19.0% of net sales in
the three  months  ended June 29,  1995 as compared to 21.6% of net sales in the
three  months  ended June 30, 1994.  The 1995  decrease in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses is  attributable  to the  termination of New Dimensions
operations effective December 27, 1994.

Depreciation and amortization  expense decreased  approximately  $170,000 in the
three  months ended June 29, 1995 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1994.  The  decrease  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  termination  of  New
Dimensions operations effective December 27, 1994.

As  discussed  in  Note  5 to the  Company's  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements,  during the second quarter of 1995 the Company  determined  that the
remaining  goodwill  balance of the jewelry segment could no longer be recovered
over its remaining life through forecasted future operations.  Accordingly,  the
Company  recorded a charge against  operations of $6,430,000 ($.96 per share) to
write-off  all of the  goodwill of its costume  jewelry  operations  at June 29,
1995.

Operating  loss in the  three  months  ended  June 29,  1995 was  $8,045,000  as
compared to operating  loss of $502,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1994.
The jewelry  segment  incurred an operating  loss of  $8,324,000  as compared to
operating  loss of  $944,000  in the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1994.  The
increased 1995 operating  loss is principally  attributable  to a charge against
operations  of  $6,430,000  to  write-off  all of the  goodwill  of Lori and its
costume  jewelry  operations  at June 29,  1995,  as  discussed in Note 5 to the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The packaging segment had
operating  earnings of  $1,162,000  in the three months ended June 29, 1995,  as
compared to  operating  earnings of $901,000 in the three  months ended June 30,
1994.  The 1995 packaging  segment  operating  earnings  increase is principally
attributable  to increased  volume and increased 1995 selling  prices  partially
offset by the significant increase in paper costs in the second half of 1994.

Due to the  Company's  tax loss  carryforwards  and the  uncertainty  of  future
taxable  income,  no income tax benefit was  recognized in  connection  with the
Company's 1995 and 1994 pre-tax losses.


Six Months Ended June 29, 1995 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1994

Net  sales  of $  72,538,000  for  the six  months  ended  June  29,  1995  were
$2,275,000,  or 3.0%,  lower  than net sales for the six  months  ended June 30,
1994.  Jewelry segment sales decreased  $10,673,000,  or 58.3%,  while packaging
segment sales  increased  approximately  $8,398,000  or 14.9%.  The 1995 jewelry
segment sales decrease is  principally  attributable  to the  termination of New
Dimensions  operations effective December 27, 1994 and a soft retail environment
in 1995.  During  the second  quarter  of 1995,  due  primarily  to  competitive
conditions in the costume jewelry industry,  the Company experienced a reduction
in business  with certain major  customers.  Additionally,  the jewelry  segment
discontinued  certain  unprofitable  programs  with  other  customers.  The 1995
packaging  segment  sales  increase  is  attributable  to 1995  sales  of  Arcar
(acquired in April,  1994),  increased  volume and increased 1995 selling prices
due to the significant increase in paper costs in the second half of 1994.

The  Company's  cost of sales of  $58,028,000  for the six months ended June 29,
1995  increased  $2,093,000  as compared to the six months  ended June 30, 1994.
Cost of sales in the three  months  ended  June 29,  1995 was 80.0% of net sales
compared to a cost of sales  percentage  of 74.8% for the six months  ended June
30, 1994.  Jewelry segment cost of sales decreased  $5,207,000 in the six months
ended June 29,  1995,  as compared to six months  ended June 30,  1994.  Jewelry
segment  cost of sales was 66.7% of net sales in the three months ended June 29,
1995, as compared to 56.3% of net sales in

the six months  ended June 30,  1994.  The 1995  jewelry  segment  cost of sales
decrease is principally  attributable to the decrease in sales volume due to the
termination of New Dimensions  operations  effective December 27, 1994. The 1995
jewelry  segment  cost of  sales  percentage  increase  of  10.4%  is  primarily
attributable to a soft retail  environment that resulted in depressed  operating
margins.  Additionally,  the jewelry segment  discontinued  certain unprofitable
programs with other  customers  resulting in charges to operations for inventory
valuation  allowances.  Packaging segment cost of sales increased  $7,300,000 in
the six months ended June 29, 1995, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1994. Packaging segment cost of sales was 81.6% of net sales in the three months
ended June 29, 1995, as compared to 80.8% of net sales in the three months ended
June 29, 1995. The increase in the packaging  segment cost of sales is primarily
attributable  to increased  volume and increased  1995 selling prices due to the
significant  increase  in paper  costs in the second half of 1994 and the April,
1994 acquisition of Arcar.  The increase in the packaging  segment cost of sales
percentage  is  primarily  attributable  to the effect of the  increase in paper
costs in the second half of 1994,  partially offset by a more favorable  product
mix in 1995.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $14,016,000 in the six months
ended June 29, 1995 as compared to  $16,649,000 in the six months ended June 30,
1994.  Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were 19.3% of net sales in
the three  months  ended June 29,  1995 as compared to 22.3% of net sales in the
six  months  ended  June  30,  1994.  The  decrease  in  selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses is principally  attributable  to the termination of New
Dimensions operations effective December 27, 1994 partially offset by the April,
1994 acquisition of Arcar.

Depreciation and amortization  expense decreased  approximately  $314,000 in the
three  months ended June 29, 1995 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1994.  The  decrease  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  termination  of  New
Dimensions operations effective December 27, 1994.

As  discussed  in  Note  5 to the  Company's  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements,  during the second quarter of 1995 the Company  determined  that the
remaining  goodwill  balance of the jewelry segment could no longer be recovered
over its remaining life through forecasted future operations.  Accordingly,  the
Company  recorded a charge against  operations of $6,430,000 ($.96 per share) to
write-off  all of the  goodwill of its costume  jewelry  operations  at June 29,
1995.

Operating  loss in the six months ended June 29, 1995 was $8,710,000 as compared
to operating loss of $859,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1994. The jewelry
segment  incurred an operating  loss of $8,510,000 as compared to operating loss
of  $1,717,000  in the six  months  ended  June 30,  1994.  The  increased  1995
operating loss is  principally  attributable  to a charge against  operations of
$6,430,000  to  write-off  all of the  goodwill of Lori and its costume  jewelry
operations at June 29, 1995,  as discussed in Note 5 to the Company's  condensed
consolidated financial statements.  The packaging segment had operating earnings
of  $1,147,000  in the six months ended June 29, 1995,  as compared to operating
earnings of $1,702,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1994. The 1995 packaging
segment operating earnings decrease is principally attributable to a significant
increase in paper costs in the second  half of 1994 and,  partially  offset by a
more favorable product mix in 1995.

Interest  expense in the six months  ended June 29, 1995  decreased  $421,000 as
compared to the six months June 30, 1994. The 1995 decrease is  principally  due
to the debt  settlement  agreement  with Lori's  bank  lender,  partially  by an
overall  increase in  borrowings  at the  Corporate  entity and at Bagcraft  and
increased interest rates in 1995.

Due to the  Company's  tax loss  carryforwards  and the  uncertainty  of  future
taxable  income,  no income tax benefit was  recognized in  connection  with the
Company's 1995 and 1994 pre-tax losses. The 1995 extraordinary credit represents
a net gain from discharge of bank indebtedness.

Seasonality

Retail sales of the  Company's  jewelry  segment  products are higher during the
Spring  (February  through  April)  and  Christmas  seasons  (September  through
December).  As a result of these seasonal factors, the Company's  inventories of
finished  goods reach peak levels just prior to these  periods and are generally
lower during the balance of the year.



Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflation has become a less significant factor in our economy;  however,  to the
extent permitted by competition, the Company generally passes increased costs to
its customers by increasing sales prices over time.

<FN>
Earnings  (loss) per share is computed by dividing  net  earnings  (loss),  less
redeemable  preferred stock dividends and redeemable common stock accretion,  by
the  weighted  average  number  of  shares of  common  stock  and  common  stock
equivalents  (redeemable  common  stock,  stock  options and  warrants),  unless
anti-dilutive,  outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per
share are not  presented  since the result is  equivalent  to  primary  earnings
(loss) per share.
