PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General development of business:
General
Envirodyne Industries, Inc. is a Delaware corporation organized in 1970. As
used herein, the "Company" means Envirodyne Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries. The Company, through Viskase Corporation (Viskase), is the
leading producer of cellulosic casings used in preparing and packaging
processed meat products and is a major producer of heat shrinkable plastic bags
and specialty films for packaging and preserving fresh and processed meat
products, poultry and cheeses. The Company is also a leading domestic and
international manufacturer of plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films,
primarily for use in packaging food items. Through Sandusky Plastics, Inc.
(Sandusky), the Company is a producer of thermoformed and injection molded
plastic containers, used in the packaging of cultured dairy and delicatessen
products, and of horticultural trays and inserts. Finally, through Clear Shield
National, Inc. (Clear Shield), the Company is a major domestic producer of
disposable plastic cutlery, drinking straws, custom dining kits and related
products.
On January 7, 1993, Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively,
the Debtors) filed petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, Eastern Division (Bankruptcy Court). On December 31, 1993, the
Debtors consummated a plan of reorganization (Plan of Reorganization) and
emerged from bankruptcy. For additional information regarding the Plan of
Reorganization, see Part IV, Item 14, Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
(b) Financial information about industry segments:
Reference is made to Part IV, Item 14, Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
(c) Narrative description of business:
The Company's operations include food packaging products (Viskase and Sandusky)
and disposable foodservice supplies (Clear Shield).
VISKASE
General
Viskase developed the basic process for producing cellulosic casings and began
commercial production in 1925. Since that time, management believes that
Viskase has been the leading worldwide producer of cellulosic casings. In 1964
Viskase entered the specialty films business. Since then, it has continued to
introduce new specialty films products to customers in the fresh and processed
meat, poultry and cheese industries. Viskase also manufactures and sells PVC
plastic film for wrapping fresh meats, poultry and other products.
Cellulosic Casings
Cellulosic casing products are used in the production of processed meat and
poultry products, such
2
<PAGE> 3
as hot dogs, salami and bologna. To manufacture these products, meat is stuffed
into the casings prior to smoking and cooking. The casings, which are
non-edible, serve to hold the shape of the product during these processes. For
certain products, such as hot dogs, the casings are removed and discarded prior
to retail sale. Casings made of regenerated cellulose were developed by Viskase
to replace casings made of animal intestines. Cellulosic casings generally
afford greater uniformity, lower cost and greater reliability of supply.
The production of regenerated cellulose casings generally involves three
principal steps: production of a viscose slurry from wood pulp, extrusion of a
continuous tube during the regeneration process, and "shirring" of the final
product. Shirring is a highly technical process of folding or compressing the
casing in tubular form for subsequent use in high-speed stuffing machines. The
production of regenerated cellulose involves a complex and continuous series of
chemical and manufacturing processes, and Viskase believes that its facilities
and expertise in the manufacturing of extruded cellulose are important factors
in maintaining its product quality and operating efficiencies.
Viskase's product line includes both NOJAX(R) cellulosic casings for small
sausage products such as hot dogs and paper-reinforced cellulosic casings for
large sausages, salami, hams and other processed meat products. Reinforced
cellulosic casings are known in the meat industry as fibrous casings.
Specialty Film Products
Since developing a technology for the extrusion of bioriented plastic films in
1964, Viskase has continued to expand its product line of heat shrinkable bags
made from its specialty films. These shrinkable bags are sold under the brand
name PERFLEX(R). Viskase's shrinkable plastic bags are used by major poultry,
fresh and processed meat and cheese producers to package and preserve their
products during wholesale and retail distribution.
Viskase produces single layer and multilayer heat shrinkable plastic bags.
Single layer film bags are used primarily to protect fresh and frozen whole
turkeys and chickens from moisture loss and handling damage. Multilayer film
bags, referred to in the food industry as "barrier bags," are made of layers of
coextruded films, each of which contributes a special property. For example,
individual layers can provide mechanical strength or can reduce the
transmission of moisture, oxygen or ultraviolet light and can protect bagged
products, such as fresh meats, from weight loss and spoilage.
As part of its service orientation, Viskase also provides graphic art and
design services to its customers. Viskase's ability to print on the bags and
films directly with designs, illustrations and text in up to eight colors
further enhances the appeal of its customers' products.
PVC and Other Film Products
Viskase manufactures PVC stretch and single layer shrink films under the
Filmco(R) brand name, used for wrapping grocery products and for packaging
foods. In Europe, Viskase also converts oriented polypropylene films for use in
packaging bakery goods and manufactures rigid food packaging materials made
from oriented polystyrene.
International Operations
Viskase has seven manufacturing facilities located outside the continental
United States, in Beauvais, France; Thaon, France; Lindsay, Ontario, Canada;
Sedgefield, England (Great Britain);
3
<PAGE> 4
Swansea, Wales (Great Britain); Guarulhos, Brazil and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
The aggregate of domestic exports and net sales of foreign operations
represents approximately 42% of Viskase's total net sales.
International sales and operations may be subject to various risks including,
but not limited to, possible unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations, political
instability, governmental regulations (including import and export controls),
restrictions on currency repatriation, embargoes, labor relations laws and the
possibility of governmental expropriation. Viskase's foreign operations
generally are subject to taxes on the repatriation of funds.
International operations in certain parts of the world may be subject to
international balance of payments difficulties which may raise the possibility
of delay or loss in the collection of accounts receivable from sales to
customers in those countries. Viskase believes that its allowance for doubtful
accounts makes adequate provision for the collectibility of its receivables.
Management believes that growth potential exists for many of Viskase's products
outside the United States and that Viskase is well positioned to participate in
these markets.
Sales and Distribution
Viskase has a broad base of customers, with no single customer accounting for
more than 5% of sales. Viskase sells its products in virtually every country in
the world. In the United States, Viskase has a staff of technical sales
representatives responsible for sales to fresh meat, processed meat and poultry
producers. Approximately 50 distributors market Viskase products to customers
in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Its products are marketed through
its own subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil,
Mexico and Australia.
In the United States, Viskase sells its PVC film products primarily to the
retail grocery industry through packaging material distributors, food
wholesalers and a direct sales force. Additionally the sales organization is
supported by a technical service group. The United Kingdom operation sells
directly and through distributors, primarily to the retail grocery and
foodservice industries in Europe.
In the United States, Viskase operates casings service centers in Santa Fe
Springs, California; Atlanta, Georgia; and Bensalem, Pennsylvania, as well as
service centers within the Chicago, Illinois, and Pauls Valley, Oklahoma,
plants. In Europe, Viskase operates casings service centers in Milan, Italy and
Pulheim, Germany. Viskase also operates a service center in Brisbane,
Australia. These service centers provide finishing, inventory and delivery
services to Viskase customers.
Competition
Viskase is the world's leading producer of cellulosic casings and is a major
producer of films. Viskase seeks to maintain a competitive advantage by
introducing new products having superior performance characteristics over
competitive products, by responding quickly to customer product requirements,
by providing customers with assistance in production or formulation problems,
by producing niche products to fill particular individual customer
requirements, by providing technical support services to its customers and by
manufacturing products having outstanding quality and performance. From time to
time, Viskase experiences reduced market share or reduced profits due to price
competition.
Viskase's principal competitors in cellulosic casings are Teepak, Inc. and
Viscofan, S.A. (located in Spain). Some of the other important competitors in
the cellulosic casings industry are Kalle
4
<PAGE> 5
Niederlassung der Hoechst AG located in Germany; Wolff Walsrode AG, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayer AG, located in Germany; Oy Visko AB located in
Finland; Celanese Mexicana located in Mexico; and Trificel located in Brazil.
In the specialty films area, the largest producer of heat shrinkable bags is
the Cryovac Division of W.R. Grace & Company. Cryovac developed heat shrinkable
films and a vacuumizing process for applying them in the early 1960's. Cryovac
sells bags on a worldwide basis to all segments of the food industry, including
meat and poultry producers. American Can Company, a subsidiary of Pechiney
Corp., is another competitor in the specialty films area. Management believes
that Viskase is in the number two position in the world behind Cryovac in the
sale of heat shrinkable bags.
In the PVC films area, major competitors in the U.S. and Europe include Borden,
Inc., Huntsman Film Products Corporation and Anchor Plastics, which may have
substantially greater financial and other resources than those of the Company.
Research and Development; Customer Support
Viskase's continuing emphasis on research and development is central to its
ability to maintain industry leadership. In particular, Viskase focuses on the
development of new products that increase customers' operating efficiency,
reduce their operating costs and expand their markets. Viskase's projects
include development of new processes and products to improve its manufacturing
efficiencies. Viskase's research scientists, engineers and technicians are
engaged in continuing product and equipment development and also provide direct
technical and educational support to its customers.
Viskase founded its Food Science and Quality Institute (Institute) in 1941 to
assist the meat and poultry industry in the development of new food items and
more efficient production and packaging methods using Viskase products. The
Institute's staff works closely with Viskase's sales and marketing
professionals providing responsible, high-quality technical service to, and
support of, Viskase customers. The Institute is able to reproduce customers'
products and processes in order to help customers to solve their problems and
to experiment with new foods and production techniques. The Institute conducts
Meat Science Seminars that are attended by Viskase customers and production,
research and quality assurance personnel, as well as food scientists from
leading academic institutions.
Seasonality
Historically, domestic sales and profits of Viskase have been seasonal in
nature, increasing in the spring and summer months and again near the year-end
holiday season. Sales of specialty films to the fresh meat industry and sales
outside of the United States follow a relatively stable pattern throughout the
year. Sales of PVC films experience only minor seasonality with sales generally
increasing during the second and third quarters.
Raw Materials
Raw materials used by Viskase include cellulose (from wood pulp), fibrous
paper, petroleum based resins, plasticizers and various other chemicals.
Viskase generally purchases its raw materials from a single or small number of
suppliers with whom it maintains good relations. Certain primary and
alternative sources of supply are located outside the United States. Viskase
believes, but there can
5
<PAGE> 6
be no assurance, that adequate alternative sources of supply currently exist
for all of Viskase's raw materials or raw material substitutes that Viskase
could modify its processes to utilize.
SANDUSKY
Sandusky is a leading producer of thermoformed and injection molded plastic
containers, used in the packaging of cultured dairy and delicatessen products,
and of horticultural trays and inserts. Sandusky sells a majority of its
products to dairy product manufacturers for packaging items such as yogurt and
cottage cheese and to supermarkets for in-store packaging of take-home foods.
The containers are normally custom printed in various colors with product
identification, company names, logos, nutritional information and universal
product codes in accordance with the customers' requirements. Sandusky and its
predecessors had been the principal supplier to Scott Paper Company (Scott) of
containers for its premoistened baby wipes. During 1993, Scott notified
Sandusky of its intention to purchase containers from other suppliers, and the
change was completed in September 1994. Sandusky closed its Clayton, Delaware
facility, which was primarily dedicated to the production of baby wipe
containers, in December 1994, and is consolidating its manufacturing operations
at its Sandusky, Ohio facility.
Sandusky sells directly to its dairy and non-food customers through its sales
and marketing group. Delicatessen containers and horticultural products are
sold both directly and through commissioned brokers. Sandusky markets its
products primarily in the northeastern, southern and midwestern regions of the
United States. Plastic container sales are somewhat seasonal in nature, with
slightly higher delicatessen container sales in late spring and summer and
higher dairy sales in the fourth quarter.
All of Sandusky's thermoformed and injection molded products are produced at
its two Sandusky, Ohio plants. Thermoforming is a process by which plastic
resin pellets are melted and extruded into sheet stock, which is then heated
and formed into finished containers, lids and trays. Injection molding is a
process by which polypropylene and polyethylene pellets are melted and injected
at high pressure into precision molds to produce a finished container. The
principal raw materials used by Sandusky are prime high impact polystyrene,
polypropylene and polyethylene resins, which currently are available from
several domestic sources.
The dairy and delicatessen containers industry is highly fragmented. Sandusky
competes in the manufacture and sale of dairy and delicatessen containers with
several domestic manufacturers of thermoformed and injection molded plastic
containers. Major competitive factors in the dairy and delicatessen container
business are price, quality and customer service. Major competitive factors in
the specialized thermoformed container business are price and technical and
customer service capabilities.
CLEAR SHIELD
Clear Shield, headquartered in Wheeling, Illinois, is a major domestic producer
of disposable plastic cutlery, drinking straws, custom dining kits and related
foodservice products. Clear Shield is one of the largest producers of plastic
cutlery and drinking straws in the United States. These products are sold
primarily to institutional users, comprising principally major fast-food
restaurant chains, schools, and hospitals, and also to consumers through retail
outlets. Sales are made under registered trade names including CLEAR SHIELD(R)
and CARNIVAL(R). Institutional customers include such leading fast-food chains
as McDonald's Corporation, Burger King Corporation, Taco Bell,
6
<PAGE> 7
Hardee's, KFC Restaurants and Pizza Hut.
Clear Shield's products are produced at plants in Wheeling, Illinois;
Leominster, Massachusetts; and Shreveport, Louisiana. Plastic cutlery is made
by melting polystyrene or polypropylene beads, which are then injected into
specially designed custom molds within high-speed injection molding machines.
Drinking straws are made by extruding molten polypropylene through specially
designed dies within high-speed extrusion machines. Certain completed products
are then specially wrapped using high-speed wrapping machines. Raw materials
used in the manufacturing process currently are available from alternative
sources. Raw material costs, in particular of polystyrene and polypropylene,
are a major portion of Clear Shield's production costs. Although Clear Shield
is generally able to pass on most raw material cost increases to customers,
there can be a delay which varies by customer and market.
Sales are made predominantly in the United States, primarily east of the Rocky
Mountains, using Clear Shield's own sales force augmented by a network of
non-exclusive, independent sales representatives. The majority of Clear
Shield's sales, consisting of bulk and individually packaged products for
institutional users, generally is not seasonal. Sales of retail packaged
products are seasonal, however, with the highest sales and operating profits
historically being achieved in the second and third quarters.
While competitive pricing generally is of key importance, Clear Shield also
competes by emphasizing responsive service to customers, by maintaining
consistent quality in its products and by capitalizing on its efficient and
flexible operations. These efficiencies stem largely from proprietary
improvements to the manufacturing process, high-volume manufacturing facilities
and a flexible work force that enable Clear Shield to produce and ship more
than 50 million items per working day.
Clear Shield's primary competitors include several major corporations, some of
which are larger and better capitalized than Clear Shield and, in some cases,
offer a wider product line than Clear Shield. Clear Shield's competitors
periodically engage in aggressive price discounting to gain business. Clear
Shield believes, however, that such market conditions will not result in any
long-term material loss of business for Clear Shield, although its profit
margins may be affected from time to time.
General Business Matters
Employees
The Company generally maintains productive and amicable relationships with its
4,900 employees worldwide. One of Viskase's domestic plants, located in Loudon,
Tennessee, is unionized, and all of its Canadian and European plants have
unions. From time to time union organization efforts have occurred at other
individual plant locations. Unions represent a total of approximately 1,500 of
Viskase's 4,000 employees. None of Clear Shield's approximate 525 employees is
represented by a union. Certain of the hourly production personnel of
Sandusky's Ohio thermoforming facility are members of a union.
Trademarks and Patents
Viskase holds patents on many of its major technologies, including those used
in its manufacturing processes and the technology embodied in products sold to
its customers. Because it believes its ongoing market leadership depends
heavily upon its technology, Viskase vigorously protects and defends its
patents against infringement by competitors on an international basis. Viskase,
as part of its research and development program, has developed and expects to
continue to develop new
7
<PAGE> 8
proprietary technology and has licensed proprietary technology from third
parties. Management believes these activities will enable Viskase to maintain
its competitive position. Viskase also owns numerous trademarks and registered
tradenames that are used actively in marketing its products. Viskase
periodically licenses its process and product patents to competitors to
generate royalty income.
The other Company operations also own trademarks and tradenames that are used
actively in marketing products. Sandusky has patents on new product
developments, but, with the exception of Viskase, patent protection is not
currently material to any of the operations as now conducted.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and, on a consolidated
basis, totaled $16,852,000, $15,216,000 and $12,323,000 for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. The majority of such costs are attributable to Viskase's
extensive research and development program.
Viskase believes it has achieved and maintained its position as a leading
producer of cellulosic casings and as a major domestic producer of specialty
films for packaging meats through significant expenditures on research and
development. The Company expects to continue its research and development
efforts. The commercialization of certain of these product and process
applications and related capital expenditures to achieve commercialization may
require substantial financial commitments in future periods. Should these
activities be curtailed or if capital resources are not available to develop
its projects, Viskase's ability to maintain its present market share could be
materially impaired.
Environmental Regulations
In manufacturing its products, the Company employs certain hazardous chemicals
and generates toxic and hazardous wastes. The use of these chemicals and the
disposal of such waste is subject to stringent regulation by several
governmental entities, including the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) and similar state, local and foreign environmental control
entities. The Company is subject to various environmental, health and safety
laws, rules and regulations including those of the United States Occupational
Safety and Health Administration and USEPA. These laws, rules and regulations
are subject to amendment and to future changes in public policy or
interpretation, which may affect the operations of the Company. The Company
uses its best reasonable efforts to comply with promulgated laws, rules and
regulations and participates in the rulemaking process.
For several years prior to 1989, Viskase was involved in regulatory proceedings
before the Illinois Pollution Control Board (IPCB) in which the IPCB sought to
adopt air pollution control requirements applicable to emissions of volatile
organic material (VOM) from sources located in the Chicago metropolitan area.
The IPCB was required to adopt such regulations pursuant to provisions of the
Clean Air Act requiring states to promulgate State Implementation Plans (SIP's)
providing for reduction of VOM emissions. Such regulations must require sources
to control their emissions using "reasonably available control technology"
(RACT). The IPCB ultimately adopted a RACT regulation for Viskase's Chicago
facility that did not require installation of additional control technology and
did not impose substantial compliance costs with respect to the facility.
In addition, the USEPA proposed rules for controlling VOM emissions in the
Chicago area on December 27, 1989. Viskase submitted extensive comments in
response to the regulatory proposal. Among those comments was that the rules do
not constitute RACT with respect to Viskase's Chicago facility. On June 29,
1990, the USEPA promulgated the rules in substantially
8
<PAGE> 9
the same form as had been proposed. For most sources, the "effective date" of
the rule was July 30, 1990, and the compliance date was one year thereafter. On
May 31, 1991, USEPA extended the effective date of the rules for Viskase
indefinitely to provide the USEPA with enough time to fully consider the rules
as applied to Viskase.
In 1991, pursuant to certain amendments to the federal Clean Air Act, the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) proposed to the IPCB emissions
control rules that were virtually identical to the federal regulations. Viskase
submitted comments on the proposed rules that pointed out that the IPCB had
previously adopted a site-specific rule for Viskase. Therefore, Viskase
requested that the IPCB exempt Viskase from the proposed new rules. The IPCB
granted Viskase's request and then submitted the proposed rules, which included
an exemption for Viskase, to the USEPA for review. The USEPA subsequently
commented on the proposed rules, but made no mention of the exemption for
Viskase. The IPCB then promulgated the rules, including the exemption for
Viskase. The final IPCB rules were submitted to the USEPA for its formal
approval as part of the state's SIP.
During its technical review of the SIP, the USEPA objected to certain
provisions of the Illinois rules and requested that the IEPA incorporate
revisions. The revised rules, which the IPCB submitted to the USEPA in
mid-1993, codify the stay as to the effective date and compliance date of the
rules previously granted to Viskase.
In late 1994, the USEPA proposed a revision to the federal implementation plan.
The proposed USEPA rule would be virtually identical to the site-specific rule
applicable to Viskase that was adopted by the IPCB, the only difference
relating to monitoring requirements. Viskase believes that it can comply with
the USEPA proposed rules, and submitted comments on the proposed rule urging
its adoption. Viskase is optimistic that the proposed USEPA rule will be
promulgated as proposed, although if the proposed rule is not adopted it is
possible that USEPA action might result in significant costs at the Chicago
facility or might result in significant changes in the operation of this
facility. Management believes that this matter will be resolved without
material impact on the Company and does not expect that any such costs or
changes associated with the Chicago facility would have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Clear Shield has been designated along with numerous other entities as a
potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) in connection with an
EPA-supervised cleanup of a waste disposal site in Palmer, Massachusetts. A
steering committee of PRP's has been formed to represent and pursue the
interest of the PRP's with respect to the site. Clear Shield's predecessor is
alleged to have shipped used motor oils to the site during the years 1977 and
1978. Although theoretically any one PRP can be held liable for the entire cost
of investigating and cleaning up a contaminated site, as a practical matter,
such costs are usually allocated among several PRP's. Management believes that
the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company.
Certain of the Company's facilities are or may become potentially responsible
parties with respect to other off-site waste disposal facilities.
The Economic Development Administration, an agency of the United States
Department of Commerce (EDA), and the USEPA filed a proof of claim in the
Envirodyne bankruptcy case relating to recovery of environmental response costs
incurred or to be incurred in connection with certain real property located at
2701 East 106th Street, Chicago, Illinois, the former location (the Site) of
the operations of the subsidiaries of the Company constituting the former steel
and mining segment. Navistar International Transportation Corp. (Navistar
Transportation), which was the previous owner of the Site also filed a proof of
claim in the Envirodyne bankruptcy case in an unspecified amount with respect
to environmental liabilities at the Site. The parties have agreed in principle,
subject to the negotiation of a definitive settlement agreement, Bankruptcy
Court
9
<PAGE> 10
approval and public comment pursuant to regulations applicable to EDA and
USEPA, to settle the claims against Envirodyne through the payment of $5,000 to
the USEPA and the issuance of 64,460 shares of Common Stock to Navistar
Transportation. In the event that the settlement is not completed, Envirodyne
believes that it has valid defenses to the claims and will continue its
objections to the claims. To the extent that USEPA, EDA or Navistar
Transportation were able to establish liability and damages as to their
respective proofs of claim, such parties would receive Common Stock under the
Plan of Reorganization in satisfaction of such claims. See Part IV, Item 14,
Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
As noted above, new environmental and health and safety laws can impose
significant compliance costs, including two forthcoming rules. Under the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990, various industries, including casings
manufacturers, will be required to meet air emissions standards for certain
chemicals based on use of the "maximum achievable control technology" (MACT).
MACT standards for casings manufacture have not yet been proposed or
promulgated; therefore, at this time no estimate of the cost of complying with
MACT standards can be made. Such rules, however, will likely impose similar
costs on all casings manufacturers in the United States.
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), regulations have been
recently proposed that would, in come cases, impose additional effluent
limitations on wastewater discharged from wastewater treatment systems
employing surface impoundments. In addition, RCRA regulations to be proposed in
the future may impose design and/or operating requirements on such
impoundments. Two of Viskase's plants use surface impoundments. The Company is
currently assessing the potential impact of the proposed regulations.
Various state, local and foreign governments have enacted or are considering
enacting laws, rules or regulations concerning the disposal of plastic
products. While such legislative action has had a minor effect on certain
product sales and may have further effect in the future, the Company is not
aware of any existing legislative action that it currently expects to have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Lumpkin Litigation
On February 17, 1989, a complaint was filed against Envirodyne in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (District Court) by
a plaintiff class consisting of former union employees of WSC Corp. (WSC). WSC
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDC Holding Company (EDC) whose operations
consisted of the former steel and mining segment (SMD) of Navistar
International Corp. (Navistar). EDC, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Envirodyne, acquired SMD from Navistar in 1977 and transferred the SMD assets
to WSC and to other wholly-owned subsidiaries of EDC. In 1980, EDC and WSC
filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions and halted operations. The plaintiffs are
seeking to recover from Envirodyne certain pension and other benefits allegedly
owed by WSC under a collective bargaining agreement to which WSC (but not
Envirodyne) was a party. The complaint seeks to hold Envirodyne directly liable
for these benefits on an alter ego theory of liability. The plaintiffs seek (1)
damages under the WSC 1977-1980 collective bargaining agreement of $80 million
to $100 million (less the amount of the plaintiffs' $14.8 million received in
settlement of litigation with Navistar), (2) unspecified equitable relief under
ERISA Section 502, and (3) other compensatory damages and punitive damages,
unspecified in amount, under ERISA Section 502 and Section 301 of the Labor
Management Relations Act.
After the bankruptcy of EDC and WSC, the same plaintiff class now suing
Envirodyne brought suit against Navistar for recovery of the same benefits now
claimed against Envirodyne. In determining whether a settlement agreement in
the Navistar case released Envirodyne from the liabilities asserted, the United
States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Court of Appeals) held that
the interpretation of the settlement agreement would require lower court
findings of fact with respect to the parties' intent in entering into the
settlement agreement. In addition, the Court of Appeals commented on the legal
principles that would be applicable to the plaintiffs' alter ego claim. While
the Court of Appeals observed that concerns for corporate form should be
secondary to the congressional intent of ERISA to provide for pension benefits,
the Court proceeded to note that to be successful the plaintiffs must establish
the presence of two factors: firstly, that there was a unity of interest and
ownership such that the separate corporate identities of Envirodyne and the two
subsidiaries no longer existed; and, secondly, that recognition of separate
corporate existence would sanction a fraud or promote injustice.
The Lumpkin litigation was stayed by the commencement of the Envirodyne
bankruptcy case in January 1993. Envirodyne and the plaintiffs are currently
participating in a District Court mediation process to attempt to resolve the
case. Because the claims relating to the Lumpkin litigation arose prior to the
commencement of the Envirodyne bankruptcy case, such claims are subject to the
Plan of Reorganization. Accordingly, to the extent that the plaintiffs in the
Lumpkin litigation were able to establish liability and damages, the plaintiffs
would under the Plan of Reorganization receive Common Stock in satisfaction of
such damages. For a description of the amount of Common Stock to which
Envirodyne general unsecured creditors were generally entitled, refer to Part
IV, Item 14, Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company
denies liability in the Lumpkin litigation and believes it has sufficient
defenses to all of plaintiffs' claims. In the absence of successful mediation
or other settlement negotiations, the Company will continue to vigorously
defend the case. While Envirodyne cannot predict with certainty the outcome of
these claims, when ultimately concluded or adjudicated, those claims will not,
in the opinion of management, have a material effect on the results of
operations or the financial condition of the Company. However, inasmuch as the
Plan of Reorganization provides for the issuance of common stock with respect
to prepetition Envirodyne general unsecured claims, an adverse finding of
liability and damages could result in substantial dilution to the holders of
the common stock. If additional shares of common stock have to be issued to the
former SMD employees, as holders of allowed Envirodyne general unsecured claims
under the Plan of Reorganization, such additional shares of common stock would
be distributed as follows: (i) approximately 2.58 additional shares per five
hundred dollars in claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of
Envirodyne are between
14
<PAGE> 15
$125 and $25,000; (ii) approximately 5.61 additional shares per five hundred
dollars in claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne
are between $25,000 and $50,000; (iii) approximately 9.22 additional shares per
five hundred dollars in the event allowed general unsecured claims of
Envirodyne are between $50,000 and $75,000; and (iv) approximately 13.58
additional shares per five hundred dollars in claims in the event allowed
general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between $75,000 and $100,000 (refer
to Note 1).
Indemnification Claims
Litigation has been initiated with respect to events arising out of the
Envirodyne bankruptcy case and the 1989 acquisition of Envirodyne by Emerald
Acquisition Corporation (Emerald) with respect to which, although Envirodyne is
not presently a party to such litigation, certain defendants have asserted
indemnity rights against Envirodyne.
In ARTRA Group Incorporated v. Salomon Brothers Holding Company Inc, Salomon
Brothers Inc, D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P., Donald P. Kelly, Charles K.
Bobrinskoy, James L. Massey, William Rifkind and Michael Zimmerman, Case No. 93
A 1616, United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
Eastern Division, ARTRA Group Incorporated (ARTRA) alleges breach of fiduciary
duty and tortious inference in connection with the negotiation and consummation
of the Plan of Reorganization. In ARTRA Group Incorporated v. Salomon Brothers
Holding Company Inc, Salomon Brothers Inc, D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P.,
Donald P. Kelly, Charles K. Bobrinskoy and Michael Zimmerman, Case No. 93 L
2198, Circuit Court of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, DuPage County,
Illinois, ARTRA alleges negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent
misrepresentation and deceptive business practices in connection with the 1989
acquisition of Envirodyne by Emerald. The plaintiff seeks damages in the total
amount of $136.2 million plus interest and punitive damages of $408.6 million.
D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P. and Messrs. Kelly, Bobrinskoy, Massey, Rifkind
and Zimmerman have asserted common law and contractual rights of indemnity
against Envirodyne for attorneys' fees, costs and any ultimate liability
relating to the claims set forth in the complaints. Envirodyne is continuing
its evaluation of the merits of the indemnification claims against Envirodyne
and the underlying claims in the litigation. Upon the undertaking of D.P. Kelly
& Associates, L.P. to repay such funds in the event it is ultimately determined
that there is no right to indemnity, Envirodyne is advancing funds to D.P.
Kelly & Associates, L.P. and Mr. Kelly for the payment of legal fees in the
case pending before the Bankruptcy Court. Although the case is in a preliminary
stage and the Company is not a party thereto, the Company believes that the
plaintiff's claims raise similar factual issues to those raised in the
Envirodyne bankruptcy case which, if resolved in a manner similar to that in
the Envirodyne bankruptcy case, would render it difficult for the plaintiff to
establish liability. Accordingly, the Company believes that the indemnification
claims would not have a material adverse effect upon the business or financial
position of the Company, even if the claimants were successful in establishing
their right to indemnification.
Treatment of Untendered Shares Under Plan of Reorganization
Certain of Envirodyne's stockholders prior to the acquisition of Envirodyne by
Emerald failed to exchange their certificates representing old Envirodyne
common stock for the forty dollar per share cash merger consideration specified
by the applicable acquisition agreement. In the Envirodyne bankruptcy case,
Envirodyne sought to equitably subordinate the interests of the holders of
untendered shares, in which event such holders would receive no distribution
pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The Bankruptcy Court granted
Envirodyne's motion for summary judgment to equitably subordinate the holders
of untendered shares. Certain holders have appealed the summary judgment to the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. If such
holders were ultimately successful, Envirodyne believes that the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock that it would be required to issue to such claimants
is approximately 106,000.

Results of Operations
The Company's 1994 net sales were $599 million, which represented a 2.0%
increase over the prior year's sales of $587.4 million.
Net sales in 1994 for Viskase increased 2.5% over the prior year due to the
impact of increased film sales and foreign currency translation. Sandusky's
sales declined 8.1% due to the reduction in the baby wipe container sales
partially offset by an increase in dairy and deli container volumes. Clear
Shield's net sales increased 3.9% primarily due to the impact of third and
fourth quarter price increases combined with some volume increases in the
wrapped cutlery and retail product lines.
Operating income for 1994 was $48.7 million, which represented a decline of
$5.0 million from the prior year. Pro forma operating income for 1993, giving
effect to fresh start reporting and the implementation of the Plan of
Reorganization with the related financing as if such events had taken place on
January 1, 1993, was $54.6 million. The decline in gross margin in 1994 is due
to the
19
<PAGE> 20
impact of price competition in dairy and deli containers and in foreign
markets, reduced baby wipe container sales and increased resin prices.
Operating income in 1994 benefitted from a $9.5 million settlement of a patent
infringement suit. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1994 include
$1.6 million of additional patent legal expenses (approximately $.8 million of
which were legal expenses related to the $9.5 million patent infringement
litigation settlement), expansion in Central and South America, additional
corporate costs relating to increased insurance and other costs associated with
Envirodyne's status as a public company following its emergence from
bankruptcy, as well as increased expenditures on research and development.
In November 1994, Viscofan, S.A., a Spanish small diameter casing producer,
entered the U.S. market. Although the Company has yet to experience any
significant volume loss to Viscofan, management believes that Viskase will
experience further pricing pressures as a result of Viscofan's entrance into
the domestic market.
During 1993, Scott notified Sandusky of its intention to purchase containers
from other suppliers, and the change was completed in September 1994. Sandusky
closed its Clayton, Delaware facility, which was primarily dedicated to the
production of baby wipe containers, in December 1994, and is consolidating its
manufacturing operations at its Sandusky, Ohio facility.
Net interest expense for 1994 totaled $49.2 million, which represented an
increase of $18.9 million from 1993. The 1994 net interest expense includes
$22.5 million of interest expense on the new 10-1/4% Senior Notes due 2001
(10-1/4% Senior Notes) versus $1.3 million of interest expense for the first
six days of 1993 on the 14-1/2% Senior Discount Notes (amortization of
discount), 14% Senior Subordinated Debentures, 13- 1/2% Subordinated Notes and
the 11-1/4% Pay-in-Kind Notes. As of January 7, 1993, interest expense on those
debt issues was no longer recorded due to the Envirodyne bankruptcy case. The
1994 net interest expense benefitted from a lower effective interest rate on
the domestic term loan and revolving credit facility.
Other income (expense) of $1.7 million and $(5.5) million in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, includes net foreign currency translation gains (losses) of $2.7
million and $(4.6) million, respectively.
The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge
certain foreign currency transactions on a continuing basis for periods
consistent with its committed foreign exchange exposures. The effect of this
practice is to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the
Company's operating results. The Company's hedging activities do not subject
the Company to additional exchange risk because gains and losses on these
contracts offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged. The cash
flows from forward contracts are classified consistent with the cash flows from
the transactions or events being hedged.
The 1994 and 1993 tax provisions consisted of the provisions on income from the
U.S. and foreign subsidiaries. Due to the permanent differences in the U.S.
resulting from non-deductible reorganization expenses and amortization and
foreign losses for which no tax benefit is provided, a provision of $4.8
million and $12.0 million, respectively, was provided on income (loss) before
income taxes and extraordinary items of $1.2 million and $(86.2) million,
respectively, for 1994 and 1993. The 1992 period effective tax benefit rate of
27% for income taxes resulted from the benefit of U.S. losses partially offset
by the provision related to income from foreign subsidiaries. Domestic cash
income taxes paid in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $1.5 million, $91 thousand and $2
million, respectively. Foreign cash income taxes paid in 1994, 1993 and 1992
were $3.5 million, $1.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
The 1993 reorganization items of $104.7 million consisted of $4.1 million for
the write-off of deferred financing fees on the bank credit agreement, $14.9
million for legal, financial advisory and other fees incurred in connection
with the Envirodyne bankruptcy case and $85.7 million of
20
<PAGE> 21
adjustment to the fair value of assets and liabilities due to the
reorganization and adoption of Fresh Start Reporting (refer to Part IV, Item
14, Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Fees and expenses
associated with renegotiation of debt of $3.9 million in 1992 consist of legal,
financial advisory and other fees.
The 1993 extraordinary gain of $183.8 million results from the reorganization
cancellation of indebtedness offset by the fair value of debt and equity issued
and is net of a tax provision of $8.3 million. For a further discussion, refer
to Part IV, Item 14, Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's 1993 net sales were $587.4 million, which represented a 2.0%
increase over the prior year's sales of $575.7 million.
Net sales in 1993 for Viskase were comparable to the prior year. Sandusky's
sales increased by 26.3% due to container volume increases resulting from the
liquidation of a major competitor offset partially by the effects of intense
price competition. Clear Shield's net sales increased 5.5% due to strong
volumes across all major product lines offset partially by competitive price
conditions.
Operating income for 1993 was $53.6 million, which represented a decline of
$13.6 million from the prior year. The decline in operating income resulted
from intense price competition in containers and large diameter casings as well
as price pressure in European, Latin American, Japanese and Canadian markets.
The Company also recorded an additional $2 million of before tax expense for
postretirement benefits due to the adoption on January 1, 1993 of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." For further discussion, refer to
Part IV, Item 14, Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and equivalents decreased by $.5 million during the fiscal year ended
December 29, 1994. Cash flows used in investing activities of $36.4 million
exceeded cash flows provided by operating activities of $23.2 million and cash
flows provided by financing activities of $13.4 million. Cash flows used in
investing activities consist principally of capital expenditures for property,
plant and equipment and the purchase of the minority interest in Viskase's
Brazilian subsidiary. Cash flows provided by operating activities were
principally attributable to the effect of depreciation and amortization offset
by the Company's loss from operations and an increase in operating assets and
liabilities. Cash flows provided by financing activities were principally
attributable to borrowings under the Company's senior secured bank credit
facility net of scheduled payments under the Company's senior secured bank
credit facility, Viskase's capital lease obligation and Viskase Limited's term
loan.
Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a $195 million Credit
Agreement (Credit Agreement) with a group of banks and financial institutions
(Lenders). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100 million term loan facility,
a $65 million domestic revolving credit facility and a $30 million amortizing
multicurrency revolving credit facility. Borrowings are subject to borrowing
base availability.
The Company expects to have sufficient funds available from cash flow from
operations and borrowings to meet its liquidity needs. The availability of
funds under the domestic and multicurrency revolving credit facilities are
subject to a borrowing base limitation measured by certain assets of the
Company. The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was
approximately $41 million at December 29, 1994.
The Company and the Lenders entered into an amendment of the Credit Agreement
as of
21
<PAGE> 22
January 24, 1995 easing certain financial covenants and permanently waiving the
event of default arising from the ownership by the Malcolm I. Glazer Trust
(Trust) of more than 30% of the Company's Common Stock, provided that the
Trust's ownership does not later exceed 49% of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock. The Company is currently in compliance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement, including the financial covenants. In the event that the Company is
unable to maintain compliance with the covenants, it will be necessary to seek
a waiver or amendment of such covenants from the respective lenders. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers or
amendments.
Capital expenditures totaled $32.6 million during 1994. This represents an $8.3
million decrease from 1993 capital expenditure levels. The decreased level of
capital expenditures in 1994 was principally related to the completion of both
the second phase of the European expansion program and initial productive
capacity investment program in Brazil during the prior year. In 1995 and future
years, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $30 million
annually.
The Company has entered into interest rate agreements that cap $50 million of
interest rate exposure at an average LIBOR rate of 6.50% until January 1997.
These interest rate cap agreements were entered into under the terms of the
senior bank financing that was repaid on June 20, 1995. Interest expense
includes $.3 million of amortization of interest rate cap premium during the
six-month period ended June 29, 1995. The Company has not received any payments
under the interest rate protection agreements.
The Company acquired the minority shareholder's interest in Viskase's Brazilian
subsidiary for $4.2 million during the first quarter of 1994.
The Company has spent approximately $12 million to $17 million annually on
research and development programs, including product and process development,
and on new technology development during each of the past three years, and the
1995 research and development and product introduction expenses are expected to
be approximately $16 million. Among the projects included in the current
research and development efforts is the application of certain patents and
technology recently licensed by Viskase to the manufacture of cellulosic
casings. The commercialization of these applications and the related fixed
asset expense associated with such commercialization may require substantial
financial commitments in future periods.
The Company is contemplating the private placement of up to $175 million
principal amount of senior secured notes. Up to $50 million of the proceeds of
the private placement are expected to be used to finance the purchase, in the
open market or in private transactions, of 10-1/4% Senior Notes, subject to
price and market conditions, while the rest of the proceeds would be used to
repay the Company's domestic term loan facility, reduce the amount of the
Company's revolving credit obligations and pay the fees and expenses of the
private placement. The Company may reduce the amount of the private placement
by up to $50 million if the Company is unable to purchase the 10-1/4% Senior
Notes at prices acceptable to the Company. No assurance can be given that the
Company will consummate the contemplated private placement, what the terms and
conditions of the private placement would be, or whether the proceeds of the
private placement would be used as the Company currently expects.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
Envirodyne Industries, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedules of Envirodyne Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries listed in
Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial
statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on
December 31, 1993, the Company completed a comprehensive financial
restructuring through the implementation of reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code and applied fresh start reporting.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Envirodyne Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 29, 1994 and
December 31, 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations and their
cash flows for the period January 1 to December 29, 1994 (Post-consummation)
and January 1 to December 31, 1993 and December 27, 1991 to December 31, 1992
(Pre-consummation), in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion the schedules referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be
included therein.

was consummated and Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries emerged from
Chapter 11 on December 31, 1993 (Effective Date). For accounting purposes, the
Plan of Reorganization was deemed to be effective as of December 31, 1993.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, Envirodyne's shares of common
stock that were outstanding prior to the effective date were canceled. Emerald
Acquisition Corporation, the sole stockholder of Envirodyne prior to the
consummation of the bankruptcy, received no distribution pursuant to the Plan
of Reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization provided for the initial issuance
of approximately 13,500,000 new shares of Envirodyne common stock (subject to
adjustment), warrants to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares and
distributions to major creditors as follows:
-- Holders of the Envirodyne's former Senior Discount Notes Due
1997 (14.5%) (Old Discount Notes) with an accreted value as of
January 6, 1993 of $200,838 became entitled to receive a pro
rata portion of $219,262 principal amount of 10 1/4% Senior
Notes Due 2001 (10 1/4% Notes).
-- Holders of Envirodyne's former $200,000 principal amount of
14% Senior Subordinated Debentures Due 2001 (Old 14%
Debentures), with accrued but unpaid interest through January
6, 1993 of $42,812 became entitled to receive a pro rata
portion of 12,142,737 shares of the Envirodyne common stock,
par value $.01 per share, representing in the aggregate
approximately 89.95% of the common stock initially issued
pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.
-- Holders of the Envirodyne's former $91,350 principal amount of
13 1/2% Subordinated Notes Due 1996 (Old 13 1/2% Notes), with
accrued but unpaid interest through January 6, 1993 of $13,604
became entitled to receive a pro rata portion of (i) 903,625
shares of Envirodyne common stock, representing in the
aggregate approximately 6.69% of the common stock initially
issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, and (ii)
warrants (Warrants) to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common
stock. The Warrants were issued pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement dated as of December 31, 1993 between Envirodyne and
Bankers Trust Company, as Warrant Agent. The Warrants are
exercisable at any time until December 31, 1998 at an exercise
price of $17.25 per share. The number of shares of common
stock for which a Warrant is exercisable, and the exercise
price of the Warrants, are subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events. In addition, holders of Old 13
1/2% Notes, other than Salomon Brothers Inc (Salomon Brothers)
and certain of its affiliates, who elected to grant a limited
release to Salomon Brothers and its affiliates pursuant to the
Plan of Reorganization, of all claims arising out of the 1989
leveraged buyout acquisition of Envirodyne, the Old 13 1/2%
Notes or Envirodyne, were entitled to share ratably in 445,928
shares of common stock, representing in the aggregate
approximately 3.30% of the common stock initially issued
pursuant to the Plan of
35
<PAGE> 36
Reorganization.
-- Holders of allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne (as
opposed to subsidiaries of Envirodyne) became entitled to
receive 32.28 shares of common stock for each five hundred
dollars amount of their prepetition claims, or a total of
8,070 shares of common stock, representing .06% of the common
stock initially issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.
These claims totaled approximately $125. If the allowed amount
of general unsecured claims of Envirodyne exceeds $125, for
example upon the resolution of disputed claims, additional
shares of common stock will have to be issued to the holders
of allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne in order to
provide equitable allocation of value among Envirodyne's
unsecured creditors under the Plan of Reorganization. Such
additional shares of common stock would be distributed with
respect to allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne as
follows: (i) approximately 2.58 additional shares per five
hundred dollars in claims in the event allowed general
unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between $125 and $25,000;
(ii) approximately 5.61 additional shares per five hundred
dollars in claims in the event allowed general unsecured
claims of Envirodyne are between $25,000 and $50,000; (iii)
approximately 9.22 additional shares per five hundred dollars
in claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of
Envirodyne are between $50,000 and $75,000; and (iv)
approximately 13.58 additional shares per five hundred dollars
in claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of
Envirodyne are between $75,000 and $100,000. Refer to Note 11
for a discussion of disputed claims which, if determined
adversely to Envirodyne, would result in the issuance of
common stock.
-- Holders of Envirodyne subsidiary allowed trade claims were
paid in full.
-- Salomon Brothers Holding Company Inc 11.25% Pay-in-Kind Notes
issued by Envirodyne with an accreted value as of January 6,
1993 of $5,658 were canceled.
The contracts constituting the sale and leaseback transaction with
General Electric Capital Corporation were assumed by the relevant Envirodyne
subsidiaries under the Plan of Reorganization with minor changes thereto.
The Chapter 11 filing was related only to the Company's domestic
operations and did not include the foreign subsidiaries and various inactive
domestic subsidiaries.
The Company accounted for the reorganization using the principles of
fresh start reporting in accordance with the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities
in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code." Accordingly, all assets and
liabilities have been restated to reflect their reorganization value, which
approximates fair value.
The reorganization value of the Company's equity of $135,000 was based
on the consideration of many factors and various valuation methods, including
discounted cash flows and comparable multiples of earnings valuation techniques
believed by management and its financial advisors to be representative of the
Company's business and industry. Factors considered by the Company included the
following:
* Forecasted operating and cash flow results which gave effect
to the estimated impact of debt restructuring and other
operational reorganization.
* Discounted residual value at the end of the forecasted period
based on the capitalized cash flows for the last year of that
period.
* Competition and general economic considerations.
* Projected sales growth.
36
<PAGE> 37
- Potential profitability.
- Seasonality and working capital requirements.
The excess of the reorganization value over the fair value of net assets and
liabilities is reported as excess reorganization value and is being amortized
over a fifteen-year period. The Company continues to evaluate the
recoverability of excess reorganization value based on the operating
performance and expected future undiscounted cash flows of the operating
business units.
The reorganization and the adoption of Fresh Start Reporting resulted
in the following adjustments to the Company's Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the period January 1 to December 31, 1993:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective in 1990 Envirodyne adopted a 52/53 week fiscal year ending
on the last Thursday of December. The 1993 financial statements include
December 31, 1993 in order to present the effect of the consummation of the
Plan of Reorganization.
(B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Envirodyne Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company).
Reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial
statement to conform to the 1994 presentation.
(C) CASH EQUIVALENTS, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
cash equivalents to consist of all highly liquid debt investments purchased
with an initial maturity of approximately three months or less. Due to the
short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying values approximate the
fair market value. Cash equivalents include $821 and $1,757 of short-term
investments at December 29, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.
42
<PAGE> 43
(D) INVENTORIES
Domestic inventories are valued primarily at the lower of last-in,
first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Remaining amounts, primarily foreign, are
valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.
(E) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 32 years. Upon
retirement or other disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in results of
operations. Effective December 31, 1993 and in conjunction with the Fresh Start
Reporting, property, plant and equipment was reported at the estimated fair
value (refer to Note 1).
(F) DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the expected term of the related debt agreement. Amortization of deferred
financing costs is classified as interest expense.
(G) PATENTS
Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over an estimated
average useful life of ten years.
The carrying value of patents is periodically reviewed by the Company
and impairments are recognized when the expected undiscounted future operating
cash flows derived from such patents is less than the carrying value. If
impairment is identified, valuation techniques deemed appropriate under the
particular circumstances will be used to determine the asset's fair value. The
loss will be measured based on the excess of carrying value over the determined
fair value. The review for impairment is performed at least on a quarterly
basis.
(H) EXCESS REORGANIZATION VALUE AND EXCESS INVESTMENT OVER NET ASSETS
ACQUIRED, NET
Excess reorganization value is amortized on the straight-line method
over 15 years.
Cost in excess of net assets acquired, net was amortized on a
straight-line method over 40 years in fiscal years 1993 and 1992.
The Company continues to evaluate the recoverability of excess
reorganization value based on operating performance and undiscounted cash flows
of the operating business units. Impairment will be recognized when the
expected undiscounted future operating cash flows derived from such intangible
is less than its carrying value. If impairment is identified, valuation
techniques deemed appropriate under the particular circumstances will be used
to determine the intangible's fair value. The loss will be measured based on
the excess of carrying value over the determined fair value. The review for
impairment is performed at least on a quarterly basis.
(I) PENSIONS
The North American operations of Viskase and the Company's operations
in Europe have defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all
salaried and full time hourly employees. Pension cost is computed using the
projected unit credit method.
The Company's funding policy is consistent with funding requirements
of the applicable federal
43
<PAGE> 44
and foreign laws and regulations.
(J) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The North American operations of Viskase have postretirement health
care and life insurance benefits. Effective January 1, 1993, postretirement
benefits other than pensions are accounted for in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Prior
year's financial statements were accounted for using the pay-as-you-go method.
(K) POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Effective December 31, 1993 and in conjunction with the Fresh Start
Reporting, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112 "Employers Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." The impact of adopting SFAS No. 112 was not material.
(L) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes were accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109 for
the years ended December 29, 1994 and December 31, 1993.
(M) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per share of common stock is based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. No effect
has been given to options outstanding under the Company's stock option plans
and warrants issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization as their effect is
anti-dilutive.
(N) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales to customers are recorded at the time of shipment net of
discounts and allowances.
(O) FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
The Company maintains a hedging program to partially hedge its
forecasted foreign currency revenue cash flows. The hedging program principally
addresses revenue cash flows within its European operations. The foreign
exchange contracts are denominated predominantly in the major European
currencies and have varying maturities up to eighteen months. The effect of
this practice is to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on
the Company's operating results. The Company's hedging activities do not
subject the Company to additional exchange rate risk because gains and losses
on these contracts offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged.
The cash flows from forward contracts accounted for as hedges of identifiable
transactions or events are classified consistent with the cash flows from the
transactions or events being hedged.
3. RECEIVABLES, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Receivables consisted primarily of trade accounts receivable and were
net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $2,136 and $2,872 at December 29,
1994, and at December 31, 1993, respectively.
4. INVENTORIES, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

values exceeded current manufacturing cost by approximately $7,000 and $11,000
at December 29, 1994, and December 31, 1993, respectively. Inventories were net
of reserves for obsolete and slow moving inventory of $5,353 and $5,425 at
December 29, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.

8. DEBT OBLIGATIONS, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
As described in Note 1, Chapter 11 Reorganization Proceedings,
Envirodyne and certain of its domestic Subsidiaries emerged from Chapter 11 on
December 31, 1993.
The $219,262 principal amount of 10 1/4% Notes were issued pursuant to
an Indenture dated as of December 31, 1993 (10 1/4% Note Indenture) between
Envirodyne and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee. The 10 1/4% Notes are the
unsecured senior obligations of Envirodyne, bear interest at the rate of 10
1/4% per annum, payable on each June 1 and December 1, and mature on December
1, 2001. The 10 1/4% Notes are redeemable, in whole or from time to time in
part, at the option of Envirodyne, at the percentages of principal amount
specified below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if the
10 1/4% Notes are redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on January 1
of the following years:

1998 102%
1999 101%
2000 and thereafter 100%
</TABLE>
The 10 1/4% Note Indenture contains covenants with respect to
Envirodyne and its subsidiaries limiting (subject to a number of important
qualifications), among other things, (i) the ability to pay dividends on or
redeem or repurchase capital stock, (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iii)
certain affiliate transactions and (iv) the ability of the Company to
consolidate with or merge with or into another entity or to dispose of
substantially all its assets.
In connection with the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization,
Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries (Borrowers) entered into a Credit
Agreement dated December 31, 1993 (Credit Agreement) with the lenders party
thereto (Lenders) and with Bank of America Illinois (formerly Continental Bank
N.A.), Citibank International PLC and Citicorp North America, Inc., as agents
for the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $195,000 facility,
consisting of a $100,000 domestic term loan facility, a $65,000 domestic
revolving credit facility (which includes a $27,000 domestic letter of credit
facility) and a $30,000 amortizing multicurrency revolving credit facility
(which includes a $3,000 multicurrency letter of credit facility). The
commitment under the amortizing multicurrency revolver was $27,800 at December
29, 1994. The initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used (i) to
pay indebtedness under the Postpetition Credit Agreement dated as of February
5, 1993 among the Debtors, the lenders party thereto (DIP Lenders) and
Continental Bank N.A., as agent for the DIP Lenders, (ii) to pay indebtedness
under certain foreign credit facilities, (iii) to pay the claims of subsidiary
trade creditors under the Plan of Reorganization and (iv) to pay certain fees
and expenses
46
<PAGE> 47
relating to the Plan of Reorganization and the Credit Agreement. Obligations
under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the
assets of Envirodyne and its domestic subsidiaries and by the pledge of the
capital stock of substantially all of Envirodyne's subsidiaries. Availability
of funds under the Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base measured by
certain assets of Envirodyne and its subsidiaries.
The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was
approximately $41 million at December 29, 1994.
Borrowings under the domestic term loan facility and the domestic
revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company's election, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) the Bank of America Illinois base rate plus 1.5% or (ii)
the Eurodollar rate plus 2.75%, subject to step downs of up to 0.5% if the
Company meets certain debt and interest coverage tests. The domestic term loan
facility terminates on December 31, 1999 and is subject to quarterly repayments
of principal as follows:

The domestic revolving credit facility expires on December 31, 1999,
with a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the
commitment. The domestic letter of credit facility expires December 16, 1999,
with fees on the outstanding amount of the domestic letters of credit of 0.25%
per annum to the issuers and 2.5% per annum to the domestic Lenders, subject to
step downs of up to 0.5% if the Company meets certain debt and interest
coverage tests.
The multicurrency revolving credit facility permits borrowings in U.S.
Dollars, German Marks, French Francs or Pounds Sterling at an interest rate per
annum equal to the applicable Eurocurrency rate plus 2.75%, subject to step
downs of up to 0.5% if the Company meets certain debt and interest coverage
tests. The multicurrency revolving credit facility expires on December 31, 1999
and the commitments thereunder are subject to mandatory quarterly reductions as

There is a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of
the multicurrency revolving credit facility. The multicurrency letter of credit
facility expires December 16, 1999, with fees on the outstanding amount of the
multicurrency letters of credit of 0.25% per annum to the issuers and 2.5% per
annum to the multicurrency Lenders, subject to step downs of up to 0.5% if the
Company meets certain debt and interest coverage tests.
Envirodyne's obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest at
rates that are expected to fluctuate over time. Envirodyne is required under
the Credit Agreement to enter into interest rate
47
<PAGE> 48
agreements in an amount equal to at least 50% of both the term loan outstanding
and the multicurrency loans in excess of $10 million outstanding. Envirodyne
has entered into $50 million of interest rate agreements that cap the Company's
LIBOR interest component (excludes spread) at an average rate of 6.50% until
January 1997. Interest expense includes $51 of amortization of the interest
rate cap premium during the fiscal period ended December 29, 1994. The Company
has not received any payments under the interest rate protection agreements.
The fair value of interest rate cap agreements is estimated by obtaining quotes
from banks. At December 29, 1994, the carrying amount and estimated fair value
of interest rate cap agreements were $1,174 and $1,432, respectively.
The Borrowers have made certain representations and have agreed to
certain covenants that restrict the operations of the Borrowers and their
subsidiaries' businesses. Among other things, the Borrowers may not, with
limited exceptions, place liens on their properties or assets, incur additional
indebtedness, make dividend or other distributions on capital stock, make
investments (other than cash equivalent investments), merge or consolidate with
any other person, dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business or
exceed stated levels of capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement also
contains a number of financial covenants, including covenants relating to cash
flow, interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, net worth and debt to cash
flow levels.
Unless cured within any applicable grace period, events of default
include failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts due to the Lenders,
a material breach of a representation or warranty, certain events related to
employee benefit plans, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, defaults on
other indebtedness having a principal amount in the aggregate in excess of
$5,000, failure to discharge judgments in an amount in excess of $5,000, a
change of control (as defined) and failure to comply with covenants, including
the financial covenants described above.
The Company and the Lenders entered into an amendment of the Credit
Agreement as of January 24, 1995 easing certain financial covenants and
permanently waiving the event of default arising from the ownership by the
Malcolm I. Glazer Trust (Trust) of more than 30% of the Company's Common Stock,
provided that the Trust's ownership does not later exceed 49% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock. The Company is currently in compliance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement, including the financial covenants.

The fair value of the Company's debt obligation (excluding capital
lease obligation) is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same
or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for the debt
of the same remaining maturities. At December 29, 1994, the carrying amount and
estimated fair value of debt obligations (excluding capital lease obligation)
were $362,512 and $298,926, respectively.
On December 28, 1990, Viskase and GECC entered into a sale and
leaseback transaction. The sale and leaseback of assets included the production
and finishing equipment at Viskase's four domestic casing production and
finishing facilities. The facilities are located in Chicago, Illinois; Loudon,
Tennessee; Osceola, Arkansas and Kentland, Indiana. Viskase, as the Lessee
under the relevant agreements, will continue to operate all of the facilities.
Sales proceeds on the sale-leaseback transaction were $171.5 million; proceeds
were used to repay approximately $154 million of bank debt and a $15 million
convertible note outstanding at the time. The lease has been accounted for as a
capital lease.
The principal terms of the sale and leaseback transaction include: (a)
a 15 year basic lease term (plus selected renewals at Viskase's option); (b)
annual rent payments in advance beginning in February 1991; and (c) a fixed
price purchase option at the end of the basic 15 year term and fair market
purchase options at the end of the basic term and each renewal term. Further,
the Lease Documents contain covenants requiring maintenance by the Company of
certain financial ratios and restricting the Company's ability to pay
dividends, make payments to affiliates, make investments and incur
indebtedness.
Annual rental payments under the Lease will be approximately $19.2
million through 1997, $21.4 million in 1998 and $23.5 million through the end
of the basic 15-year term. Viskase is required to provide credit support
consisting of a standby letter of credit in an amount up to one year's rent
through at least 1997. This credit support can be reduced up to $4 million
currently if the Company achieves and maintains certain financial ratios. As of
December 29, 1994, the Company had met the required financial ratios and the
letter of credit has been reduced by $4 million. The letter can be further
reduced in 1997 or eliminated after 1998 if the Company achieves and maintains
certain financial ratios. Envirodyne and its other principal subsidiaries
guaranteed the obligations of Viskase under the Lease.

10. RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company and its subsidiaries have defined contribution and defined
benefit plans varying by country and subsidiary.
At December 29, 1994, the North American operations of Viskase
maintained several non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans. The
Viskase plans cover substantially all salaried and full-time hourly employees,
and benefits are based on final average compensation and years of credited
service. The Company's policy is to fund the minimum actuarially computed
annual contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA).
As of the Viskase acquisition date, the former owner assumed the
liability for the accumulated benefit obligation under its plans. The effect of
expected future compensation increases on benefits accrued is recorded as a
liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

SAVINGS PLANS, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS):
The Company also has defined contribution savings and similar plans,
which vary by subsidiary, and, accordingly, are available to substantially all
full-time U.S. employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The
Company's aggregate contributions to these plans are based on eligible employee
contributions and certain other factors. The Company expense for these plans
was $2,109, $2,026 and $2,001 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
INTERNATIONAL PLANS, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS):
The Company maintains various pension and statutory separation pay
plans for its European employees. The expense for these plans in 1994, 1993 and
1992 was $1,043, $864 and $515, respectively. As of their most recent valuation
dates, in plans where vested benefits exceeded plan assets, the actuarially
computed value of vested benefits exceeded those plans' assets by
51
<PAGE> 52
approximately $1,902; conversely, plan assets exceeded the vested benefits in
certain other plans by approximately $1,708.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS):
The Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits to Viskase's North American employees. The Company does not fund
postretirement health care and life benefits in advance, and has the right to
modify these plans in the future.
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions." SFAS No. 106 requires that the expected cost of these benefits must
be charged to expense during the years that the employee renders service. In
connection with the 1989 acquisition of the Company, an accrual of $15,000 had
been recorded for the estimated postretirement benefits liability at the
acquisition date. On January 1, 1993, an additional liability and transition
obligation was recorded on a prospective basis for $6,500. The transaction
obligation was to be amortized over 20 years. Subsequently, Fresh Start
Reporting resulted in the write-off of the transition obligation and statement
of the liability for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits at
fair value. Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993 includes
the following components:

The postretirement benefit obligation was determined by application of
the terms of the various plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions.
The effect of a 1% annual increase in these assumed cost trend rates would
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 29, 1994
and December 31, 1993 by $198 and $215, respectively, and the service and
interest cost components for 1994 and 1993 by a total of $22 and $13,
respectively.
11. CONTINGENCIES, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
A class action lawsuit by former employees of subsidiary corporations
comprising most of the
52
<PAGE> 53
Company's former steel and mining division (SMD) was pending as of the
commencement of the bankruptcy case in which the plaintiffs are seeking
substantial damages. The Company and the plaintiffs are currently participating
in a mediation process to attempt to resolve the case. Envirodyne denies
liability and believes it has sufficient defenses to all of plaintiffs' claims.
In the absence of successful mediation or other settlement negotiations, the
Company will continue to vigorously defend these claims. While Envirodyne
cannot predict with certainty the outcome of these claims, when ultimately
concluded or adjudicated, these claims will not, in the opinion of management,
have a material effect on the results of operations or the financial condition
of the Company. However, inasmuch as the Plan of Reorganization provides for
the issuance of common stock with respect to prepetition Envirodyne general
unsecured claims, an adverse finding of liability and damages could result in
substantial dilution to the holders of the common stock. If additional shares
of common stock have to be issued to the former SMD employees, as holders of
allowed Envirodyne general unsecured claims under the Plan of Reorganization,
such additional shares of common stock would be distributed as follows: (i)
approximately 2.58 additional shares per five hundred dollars in claims in the
event allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between $125 and
$25,000; (ii) approximately 5.61 additional shares per five hundred dollars in
claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between
$25,000 and $50,000; (iii) approximately 9.22 additional shares per five
hundred dollars in claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of
Envirodyne are between $50,000 and $75,000; and (iv) approximately 13.58
additional shares per five hundred dollars in claims in the event allowed
general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between $75,000 and $100,000 (refer
to Note 1).
Litigation has been initiated with respect to events arising out of
the bankruptcy cases and the 1989 acquisition of Envirodyne by Emerald with
respect to which, although Envirodyne is not presently a party to such
litigation, certain defendants have asserted indemnity rights against
Envirodyne. In ARTRA Group Incorporated v. Salomon Brothers Holding Company
Inc, Salomon Brothers Inc, D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P., Donald P. Kelly,
Charles K. Bobrinskoy, James L. Massey, William Rifkind and Michael Zimmerman,
Case No. 93 A 1616, United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, Eastern Division (Bankruptcy Court), ARTRA Group Incorporated (ARTRA)
alleges breach of fiduciary duty and tortious inference in connection with the
negotiation and consummation of the Plan of Reorganization. In ARTRA Group
Incorporated v. Salomon Brothers Holding Company Inc, Salomon Brothers Inc,
D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P., Donald P. Kelly, Charles K. Bobrinskoy and
Michael Zimmerman, Case No. 93 L 2198, Circuit Court of the Eighteenth Judicial
Circuit, County of DuPage, State of Illinois, ARTRA alleges negligence, breach
of fiduciary duty, fraudulent misrepresentation and deceptive business
practices in connection with the 1989 acquisition of Envirodyne by Emerald. The
plaintiff seeks damages in the total amount of $136,200 plus interest and
punitive damages of $408,600. D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P. and Messrs. Kelly,
Bobrinskoy, Massey, Rifkind and Zimmerman have asserted common law and
contractual rights of indemnity against Envirodyne for attorneys' fees, costs
and any ultimate liability relating to the claims set forth in the complaints.
Upon the undertaking of D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P. to repay such funds in
the event it is ultimately determined that there is no right to indemnity,
Envirodyne is advancing funds to D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P. and Mr. Kelly
for the payment of legal fees in the case pending before the Bankruptcy Court.
Although the case is in a preliminary stage and the Company is not a party
thereto, the Company believes that the plaintiff's claims raise similar factual
issues to those raised in the bankruptcy cases which, if adjudicated in a
manner similar to that in the bankruptcy cases, would render it difficult for
the plaintiff to establish liability. Accordingly, the Company believes that
the indemnification claims would not have a material adverse effect upon the
business or financial position of the Company, even if the claimants were
ultimately successful in establishing their right to indemnification.
In the Envirodyne bankruptcy case the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA), the Economic Development Authority (EDA), and
Navistar International Transportation Corp.
53
<PAGE> 54
(Navistar Transportation) filed proofs of claim with respect to unreimbursed
environmental response costs at the location of the former SMD operations. The
parties have agreed in principle, subject to the negotiation of a definitive
settlement agreement, Bankruptcy Court approval and public comment pursuant to
regulations applicable to EDA and USEPA, to settle the claims against
Envirodyne through the payment of five thousand dollars to the USEPA and the
issuance of 64,460 shares of common stock to Navistar Transportation. In the
event that the settlement is not completed, Envirodyne believes that it has
valid defenses to the claims and will continue its objections to the claims. To
the extent that USEPA, EDA or Navistar Transportation were able to establish
liability and damages as to their respective proofs of claim, such parties
would receive Common Stock under the Plan of Reorganization in satisfaction of
their claims.
Certain of Envirodyne's stockholders prior to the acquisition of
Envirodyne by Emerald failed to exchange their certificates representing old
Envirodyne common stock for the forty dollar per share cash merger
consideration specified by the applicable acquisition agreement. In the
Envirodyne bankruptcy case, Envirodyne is seeking to equitably subordinate the
interests of the holders of untendered shares, in which event such holders
would receive no distribution pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The
Bankruptcy Court granted Envirodyne's motion for summary judgment to equitably
subordinate the holders of untendered shares. Certain holders have appealed the
summary judgment to the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois. If such holders were ultimately successful, Envirodyne believes
that the maximum number of shares of common stock that it would be required to
issue to such claimants is approximately 106,000.
In August 1993, Clear Shield National, Inc. received a subpoena from
the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice relating to a
grand jury investigation of the disposable plastic cutlery industry. Clear
Shield National, Inc. has cooperated fully with the investigation.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal
proceedings arising out of its business and other environmental matters, none
of which is expected to have a material adverse effect upon its results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
12. CAPITAL STOCK, PAID IN CAPITAL, AND WARRANTS
Authorized shares of preferred stock ($.01 par value per share) and
common stock ($.01 par value per share) for the reorganized Envirodyne are
25,000,000 shares and 50,000,000 shares, respectively. 13,515,000 shares of
common stock were issued and outstanding as of December 29, 1994. In accordance
with the Plan of Reorganization, an additional 15,000 shares of common stock
were issued to the general unsecured creditors of Envirodyne during 1994.
(Refer to Note 1.)
Prior to the December 31, 1993 reorganization, the authorized shares
of preferred stock and common stock were 1,000 shares and 320 shares,
respectively.
Envirodyne issued 1,500,000 warrants pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization. Each warrant is exercisable at any time until December 31, 1998
for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $17.25 per share. The
exercise price and the number of shares of common stock for which a warrant is
exercisable are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Plan of Reorganization provides for the issuance of common stock
to general unsecured creditors of Envirodyne. As of the date hereof, certain
parties have made claims as general unsecured creditors of Envirodyne the
allowance of which Envirodyne has denied. To the extent that such parties are
successful in establishing the allowance of their claims, they would be
entitled to receive common stock in satisfaction of such claims, which would
result in dilution to the existing holders of the common stock. (Refer to Note
11.)

At December 29, 1994, the Company had $11,066 of undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries considered permanently invested for which
deferred taxes have not been provided.
At December 29, 1994, the Company had federal income tax net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $36 million. Such losses will expire in the
year 2008, if not previously utilized. In addition the Company has alternative
minimum tax credit carryforwards of $3.5 million. Alternative minimum tax
credits have an indefinite carryforward period. Significant limitations on the
utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and the alternative minimum
tax credit carryforwards exist under federal income tax rules and thus these
carryforwards have not been recognized for financial statement purposes due to
these limitations.
Domestic earnings or (losses) after extraordinary gain or loss and
before income taxes were approximately $(7,705), $107,622 and $(50,300) in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Foreign earnings or (losses) before income
taxes were approximately $8,893, $(1,733) and $(700) in 1994, 1993 and 1992,

20. PATENT LITIGATION SETTLEMENT, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
In 1989 certain competitors of Viskase filed a declaratory action
challenging the validity and enforceability of a Viskase patent relating to
casings used in the manufacture of food products. In May 1994, the trial court
upheld the validity and enforceability of the Viskase patent and found
infringement of the patent. Before the trial on damages was conducted, Viskase
entered into agreements to settle the claims and grant licenses to the
competitors. Under the terms of these agreements Viskase received $9,457 for
past infringement and advance royalties and established royalty rates for
future patent use.
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENT, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
On June 20, 1995, Envirodyne completed the sale of $160,000 aggregate
principal amount of senior secured notes to certain institutional investors in
a private placement. The senior secured notes were issued pursuant to an
indenture dated June 20, 1995 (Indenture) and consist of (i) $151,500 of 12%
Senior Secured Notes due 2000 and (ii) $8,500 of Floating Rate Senior Secured
Notes due 2000 (collectively, the Notes). Envirodyne used the net proceeds of
the offering primarily to (i) repay the Company's $86,125 domestic term loan,
(ii) repay the $68,316 of obligations under the Company's domestic and foreign
revolver and (iii) pay transaction fees and expenses. Concurrently with the
June 20, 1995 placement, Envirodyne entered into a new $20,000 domestic
revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) and a new $28,000 letter
of credit facility (Letter of Credit Facility).
60
<PAGE> 61
The $151,500 tranche of Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum
and the $8,500 tranche bears interest at a rate equal to the six month London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 575 basis points. The initial interest rate
on the floating rate tranche was approximately 11.7%. The interest rate on the
floating rate tranche is reset semi-annually on June 15 and December 15.
Interest on the Notes is payable each June 15 and December 15, commencing
December 15, 1995.
On June 15, 1999, $80,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes is subject to a mandatory redemption. The remaining principal amount
outstanding will mature on June 15, 2000.
In the event the Company has Excess Cash Flow (as defined) in excess
of $5,000 in any fiscal year, beginning with fiscal 1995, the Company will be
required to make an offer to purchase Notes together with any borrowed money
obligations outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, on a pro rata
basis, in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow at a purchase price of 100%
plus any accrued interest to the date of purchase.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or from time to time in part, at
Envirodyne's option, at the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount or
(ii) the present value of the expected future cash flows from the Notes
discounted at a rate equal to the Treasury Note yield corresponding closest to
the remaining average life of the Notes at the time of prepayment plus 100
basis points; plus accrued interest thereon to the date of purchase.
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (which includes the
acquisition by any person of more than 50% of Envirodyne's Common Stock), each
holder of the Notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase such
holder's Notes at a price equal to the greater of (i) the outstanding principal
amount or (ii) the present value of the expected cash flows from the Notes
discounted at a rate equal to the Treasury Note yield corresponding closest to
the remaining average life of the Notes at the time of prepayment plus 100
basis points; plus accrued interest thereon to the date of purchase.
The Indenture contains covenants with respect to Envirodyne and its
subsidiaries limiting (subject to a number of important qualifications), among
other things, (i) the ability to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase common
stock, (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iii) the creation of liens, (iv)
certain affiliate transactions and (v) the ability to consolidate with or merge
into another entity and to dispose of assets.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) on the
first day of each calendar quarter plus 300 basis points. The Revolving Credit
Facility expires on June 20, 1998.
The Letter of Credit Facility expires on June 20, 1998, with fees on
the outstanding amount of letters of credit equal to 2.0% per annum and an
issuance fee of 0.5% on the face amount of the letter of credit. There is a
commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the Letter of Credit
Facility.
Envirodyne's payment obligations under the Notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis (collectively, the
"Subsidiary Guarantees") by Viskase Corporation, Viskase Holding Corporation,
Viskase Sales Corporation, Clear Shield National, Inc., Sandusky Plastics, Inc.
and Sandusky Plastics of Delaware, Inc., each a direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Envirodyne and each a "Guarantor." These subsidiaries represent
substantially all of the operations of Envirodyne conducted in the United
States. The remaining subsidiaries of Envirodyne generally are foreign
subsidiaries or otherwise relate to foreign operations.
The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are
the senior obligation of such Guarantor, and are collateralized, subject to
certain permitted liens, by substantially all of the domestic assets of the
Guarantor and, in the case of Viskase Holding Corporation, by a pledge of 65%
of the capital stock of Viskase S.A. The Subsidiary Guarantees and security are
shared with the lenders
61
<PAGE> 62
under the Revolving Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis and are subject to
the priority interest of the holders of obligations under the Letter of Credit
Facility, each pursuant to an intercreditor agreement.
