            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.                         CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS

On January 6, 1993, a group of bondholders filed an involuntary petition
for reorganization of Envirodyne Industries, Inc. under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 7, 1993 Viskase Corporation,
Viskase Sales Corporation, Viskase Holding Corporation, Clear Shield
National, Inc., Sandusky Plastics of Delaware, Inc., Sandusky Plastics,
Inc. and Envirodyne Finance Company each filed voluntary petitions under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the
Bankruptcy Court). On December 17, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed
the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization as twice modified (Plan
of Reorganization) with respect to Envirodyne Industries, Inc.
(Envirodyne) and certain of its subsidiaries. The Plan of Reorganization
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.

The Plan of Reorganization provided for the initial issuance of
approximately 13,500,000 shares of Envirodyne common stock, warrants to
purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares (subject to adjustment) and
$219,262,000 principal amount of 10-1/4% Senior Notes Due 2001 (10-1/4%
Notes).

subsidiaries of Envirodyne) became entitled to receive 32.28 shares of
common stock for each $500 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 $125,000. If the allowed amount of general
unsecured claims of Envirodyne exceeds $125,000, 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 $500 in claims in the event
allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between $125,000 and
$25,000,000; (ii) approximately 5.61 additional shares per $500 in
claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are
between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000; (iii) approximately 9.22 additional
shares per $500 in claims in the event allowed general unsecured claims
of Envirodyne are between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000; and (iv)
approximately 13.58 additional shares per $500 in claims in the event
allowed general unsecured claims of Envirodyne are between $75,000,000
and $100,000,000. Refer to Note 5 for a discussion of disputed claims
which, if determined adversely to Envirodyne, would result in the
issuance of common stock.

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 were restated to reflect their
reorganization value. A reorganization value of the Company's equity of
$135,000,000 was based on the consideration of many factors and various
valuation methods, including discounted cash flows, comparable multiples
of earnings and other applicable measurements and valuation techniques
believed by management and its financial advisors to be representative
of the Company's business and industry. The excess of the reorganization
value over the fair value of net assets and liabilities has been
reported as excess reorganization value and is being amortized over a
fifteen-year period.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envirodyne
and its subsidiaries.


3. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of:

Approximately 54% of the inventories at March 30, 1995 were valued at
Last-In, First-Out (LIFO). These LIFO values exceeded current
manufacturing cost by approximately $4.4 million at March 30, 1995.


4. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

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 $219,262,000 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:

                  Year                        Percentage
                  ----                        ----------

                  1995                            105%
                  1996                            104%
                  1997                            103%
                  1998                            102%
                  1999                            101%
                  2000 and thereafter             100%



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 $195,000,000 facility, consisting of a
$100,000,000 domestic term loan facility, a $65,000,000 domestic
revolving credit facility (which includes a $27,000,000 domestic letter
of credit facility) and a $30,000,000 amortizing multicurrency revolving
credit facility (which includes a $3,000,000 multicurrency letter of
credit facility). The commitment under the amortizing multicurrency
revolver was $27,300,000 at March 30, 1995. 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 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 $11 million at March 30, 1995.

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:

              Calendar         Quarterly           Total Repayment
                Year       Repayment Amount       for Calendar Year
              ---------    ----------------       -----------------

                1995          $2,775,000             $11,100,000
                1996           4,075,000              16,300,000
                1997           4,450,000              17,800,000
                1998           4,625,000              18,500,000
                1999           6,300,000              25,200,000

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 follows:


              Calendar           Quarterly      Total Reduction
                Year     Commitment Reduction   for Calendar Year
              --------   --------------------   -----------------

                1995          $  500,000           $2,000,000
                1996             950,000            3,800,000
                1997           1,075,000            4,300,000
                1998           1,150,000            4,600,000
                1999             775,000            3,100,000

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 protection
agreements with respect to a significant portion of the amounts
outstanding from time to time thereunder. Envirodyne has entered into
$50 million of interest rate protection agreements that cap the
Company's LIBOR interest component (excludes spread) at an average rate
of 6.50% until January 1997. The fair value of interest rate cap
agreements is estimated by obtaining quotes from banks. At March 30,
1995, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of interest rate cap
agreements were $1,021,000 and $353,000, 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 $5,000,000, failure to discharge judgments
in an amount in excess of $5,000,000, 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 March 30, 1995, the
carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt obligations (excluding
capital lease obligation) were $391,971 and $352,504, 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. 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 $4,000,000 currently if the Company achieves and maintains certain
financial ratios. As of March 30, 1995, the Company had met the required
financial ratios and the letter of credit has been reduced by
$4,000,000. 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.

The following is a schedule of minimum future lease payments under the
capital lease together with the present value of the net minimum lease
payments as of March 30, 1995:

million.


5. CONTINGENCIES

A class action lawsuit by former employees of subsidiary corporations
comprising most of the 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 in the absence of
successful mediation or other settlement negotiations will continue to
vigorously defend these claims. However, inasmuch as the Plan of
Reorganization provides for the issuance of common stock with respect to
prepetition Envirodyne general unsecured claims (refer to Note 1), an
adverse finding of liability and damages could result in substantial
dilution to the holders of the common stock.

Litigation has been initiated with respect to events arising out of the
bankruptcy cases 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
                                                                 -----

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 $136,200,000
plus interest and punitive damages of $408,600,000. 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. (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 $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 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 $40 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.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The Company's sales for the first three months of 1995 were $155.8
million, which represented an increase of 9.3% from the first three
months of 1994. Net sales at Viskase increased due to the expansion of
Latin American sales, selected sales price increases, strong worldwide
film sales, combined with the favorable effects of foreign currency
translation. Net sales at Clear Shield increased 8.5% from the prior
year primarily due to selling price increases. Sandusky sales declined
21.2% due to the loss of the baby wipe business combined with some
reduced dairy and deli container sales.

Operating income for the first three months of 1995 was $8.7 million,
which represented a decline of $1 million from the first quarter of
1994. The decline in operating income in 1995 is due to the continued
increase in resin prices, price competition in some foreign markets
coupled with additional selling, general and administrative expenses
resulting from strategic expansions in foreign markets, including
Europe, Latin America and Australia and the decline in Sandusky's sales.

First quarter 1995 net interest expense totaled $13.4 million, which
represented an increase of $1.4 million from the first quarter of 1994.
The increase is primarily the result of both increased borrowings and
higher interest rates on the term and revolving loan facilities,
combined with additional amortization of deferred financing fees.

The tax benefit in the 1995 first quarter resulted from the benefit of
U.S. losses partially offset by the provision related to income from
foreign subsidiaries. Due to the permanent differences in the U.S.
resulting from non-deductible amortization and foreign losses for which
no tax benefit is provided, a benefit of $.2 million was provided on a
loss before income taxes of $4.1 million. The U.S. tax benefit is
recorded as a reduction of the deferred tax liability, and does not
result in a refund of income taxes.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Envirodyne and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a $195,000,000
Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with a group of banks and financial
institutions (Lenders). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000,000
term loan facility, a $65,000,000 domestic revolving credit facility and
a $30,000,000 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 $11 million at March 30, 1995.

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. 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 for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994 totaled $7.6
million and $7.4 million, respectively. In 1995 and future years,
capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $30 million
annually. 

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 manufacture cellulosic casings. The
commercialization of these applications and the related fixed asset
expenditures associated with such commercialization may require
substantial financial commitments in future periods.

The Company is contemplating the private placement of up to $160 million
of series A and $50 million of series B 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.
