                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. INVENTORIES (dollars in thousands)

Inventories consisted of:
                                     June 27,      December 28,
                                      1996             1995

Work in process                        31,567         32,800
Finished products                      55,518         49,524
                                     --------       --------
                                     $104,853       $ 99,474
                                     ========       ========

Approximately 56% of the inventories at June 27, 1996 were valued at Last-
In, First-Out (LIFO). These LIFO values exceeded current manufacturing cost
by approximately $5.6 million at June 27, 1996.


2. DEBT OBLIGATIONS (dollars in thousands)

On June 20, 1995, Envirodyne Industries, Inc. (Envirodyne or the Company)
completed the sale of $160,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured
notes pursuant to an indenture dated June 20, 1995 (Indenture) consisting
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 Senior
Secured Notes). Envirodyne used the net proceeds of the offering primarily
to refinance senior bank debt and pay transaction fees and expenses.
Concurrently with the June 20, 1995 financing, Envirodyne entered into a
$20,000 domestic revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) and
a $28,000 letter of credit facility (Letter of Credit Facility). The Senior
Secured Notes and the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and
the Letter of Credit Facility are guaranteed by Envirodyne's significant
domestic subsidiaries and secured by a collateral pool (Collateral Pool)
comprised of: (i) all domestic accounts receivable (including intercompany
receivables) and inventory; (ii) all patents, trademarks and other
intellectual property (subject to non-exclusive licensing agreements);
(iii) substantially all domestic fixed assets (other than assets subject
to a lease agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation); and (iv)
a senior pledge of 100% of the capital stock of Envirodyne's significant
domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of Viskase S.A. Such
guarantees and security are shared by the holders of the Senior Secured
Notes and the holders of the obligations under the Revolving Credit
Facility on a pari passu basis pursuant to an intercreditor agreement.
              ---- -----
Pursuant to such intercreditor agreement, the security interest of the
holders of the obligations under the Letter of Credit Facility has priority
over all other liens on the Collateral Pool.

The Company finances its working capital needs through a combination of
cash generated through operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility. The availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is
subject to the Company's compliance with certain covenants (which are
substantially similar to those included in the Indenture), borrowing base
limitations measured by accounts receivable and inventory of the Company
and reserves which may be established at the discretion of the lenders.
Currently, there are no drawings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The
available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $20
million at June 27, 1996.

The Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $6,778 representing the
write-off of deferred financing fees related to the June 20, 1995 debt
refinancing. The extraordinary loss, net of applicable income taxes of
$2,582, was included in the Company's Statement of Operations for the
quarter ended June 29, 1995.

The $151,500 tranche of Senior Secured Notes bears 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
interest rate on the floating rate tranche is approximately 11.6%. The
interest rate on the floating rate tranche is reset semi-annually on June
15 and December 15. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable each
June 15 and December 15.

On June 15, 1999, $80,000 of Senior Secured 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, Envirodyne is required to make an offer to
purchase Senior Secured 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. There was no Excess Cash Flow
for fiscal 1995.

The Senior Secured 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 Senior Secured Notes discounted at a rate equal to the
Treasury Note yield corresponding closest to the remaining average life of
the Senior Secured 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 of Control (which includes the acquisition
by any person of more than 50% of Envirodyne's Common Stock), each holder
of the Senior Secured Notes has the right to require the Company to
repurchase such holder's Senior Secured 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 Senior Secured Notes discounted at a
rate equal to the Treasury Note yield corresponding closest to the
remaining average life of the Senior Secured 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.

Envirodyne 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 terms of
the senior bank financing that was repaid on June 20, 1995. Interest
expense includes $306 of amortization of the interest rate cap premium
during the six-month period ended June 27, 1996. Envirodyne has not
received any payments under the interest rate protection agreements.

The Letter of Credit Facility expires on June 20, 1998. Fees on the
outstanding amount of letters of credit are 2.0% per annum, with 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.

Had the refinancing taken place at the beginning of 1995, the pro forma
Envirodyne consolidated statement of operations would have been:

The pro forma information reflects the change in interest expense and
related tax effect due to the issuance of $160 million principal amount of
Senior Secured Notes and the refinancing of the Company's bank debt.

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 twelve-month
period commencing on January 1 of the following years:

The fair value of the Company's debt obligation (excluding capital lease
obligations) is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same
or similar issues or upon the current rates offered to the Company for the
debt of the same remaining maturities. At June 27, 1996 the carrying amount
and estimated fair value of debt obligations (excluding capital lease
obligations) were $390,218 and $366,218, respectively.


3.  CONTINGENCIES (dollars in thousands)

Although Envirodyne is not a direct party, litigation is pending from
events arising out of Envirodyne's 1993 bankruptcy case and the 1989
acquisition of Envirodyne by Emerald Acquisition Corporation (Emerald) with
respect to which 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 Rifkin
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 by the defendants in connection with the negotiation and
consummation of Envirodyne's plan of reorganization (Plan of
Reorganization) in 1993. A motion for summary judgment was granted in favor
of all defendants, which decision has been appealed to the District Court.
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 breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent and negligent
misrepresentation and breach of contract 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. All claims against Mr. Kelly and D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P.
have been dismissed by the Circuit Court and some of those decisions have
been appealed to the Illinois Appellate Court. D.P. Kelly & Associates,
L.P. and Messrs. Kelly, Bobrinskoy, Massey, Rifkin 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
Company is not a party to either case, the Company believes that the
plaintiff's claims raise similar factual issues to those raised in the
Envirodyne bankruptcy case which, if adjudicated 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 ultimately successful in establishing their right to indemnification.

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 sought to equitably subordinate the claims of
the holders of untendered shares, so that such holders would not receive
a distribution under the Plan of Reorganization. The Bankruptcy Court
granted Envirodyne's motion for summary judgment and equitably subordinated
the claims of the holders of untendered shares to the claims of other
general unsecured creditors. Certain of the affected holders appealed and
both the U.S. District Court and the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
affirmed the Bankruptcy Court decision. Those holders have petitioned the
Supreme Court of the United States for Writ of Certiorari which is pending.
Envirodyne believes that, even in the event prior decisions are reversed,
the maximum number of shares of common stock that it would be required to
issue to such claimants is approximately 106,000.

In February 1996 Clear Shield National and three other plastic cutlery
manufacturers were named as defendants in three civil actions filed in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Each
of the complaints alleges, among other things, that from October 1990
through April 1992 the defendants unlawfully conspired to fix the prices
at which plastic cutlery would be sold. The Company has informed the
plaintiffs that such claims as they relate to Clear Shield were discharged
by the order of the Bankruptcy Court and Plan of Reorganization and that
the plaintiffs are permanently enjoined from pursuing legal action to
collect discharged claims.

The plaintiffs have filed motions for summary judgment in Clear Shield
National's Bankruptcy proceeding in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. Their motions contend that
the Bankruptcy Court's order did not discharge the plaintiffs' claims.
Clear Shield National has filed a cross motion for summary judgment. The
claims pending in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania have been stayed
pending the decision in the Bankruptcy Court on the cross motions for
summary judgment.

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.


4.  SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS

Envirodyne's payment obligations under the Senior Secured Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis (collectively,
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 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.

The following consolidating condensed financial data illustrate the
composition of the combined Guarantors. No single Guarantor has any
significant legal restrictions on the ability of investors or creditors to
obtain access to its assets in the event of default on the Subsidiary
Guarantee other than its subordination to senior indebtedness described
above. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not presented
because management has determined that these would not be material to
investors. Based on the book value and the market value of the pledged
securities of Viskase Corporation, Viskase Sales Corporation, Clear Shield
National, Inc., Sandusky Plastics, Inc. and Sandusky Plastics of Delaware,
Inc., these Subsidiary Guarantors do not constitute a substantial portion
of the collateral and, therefore, the separate financial statements of
these subsidiaries have not been provided. Separate unaudited interim
financial statements of Viskase Holding Corporation are being filed within
this quarterly report.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent and Subsidiary
Guarantors on the equity method for purposes of the supplemental
consolidating presentation. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore
reflected in the parent's and Subsidiary Guarantors' investment accounts
and earnings. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in
subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

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

The Company's net sales for the first six months and second quarter
of 1996 were $325.5 million and $165.7 million, respectively, which
represented slight increases of 1.4% and 0.3%, respectively, over
comparable periods of 1995. Second quarter net sales at Viskase
increased by 0.3% over the prior year. The benefits of a stronger
presence in the Latin American and Asian Pacific markets were
offset by lower pricing due to competitive pressures in both the
domestic and European markets. Second quarter net sales at Sandusky
were flat compared to the prior year. Sales to dairy customers were
lower than expected following a general softness in dairy product
sales in the U.S. Second quarter net sales at Clear Shield
increased 1.0% from the prior year primarily due to volume
increases from new business. These increases more than offset
volume loss from softness in the quick serve restaurant market
segment.

Operating income for the first six months and second quarter of
1996 was $18.6 million and $9.3 million, respectively, representing
decreases of 1.1% and 8.1%, respectively, from the comparable
periods of 1995. The decrease in operating income resulted
primarily from declines in gross margins caused by continued price
competition in the U.S. and Europe, particularly within the casing
product lines. Lower selling, general and administrative expenses,
principally research and development, had some offsetting effects.
Additionally, lower volumes at Sandusky negatively impacted gross
margins.

The British beef industry continues to be affected by concerns over
bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease. While
certain of our film product lines in Europe are sold to customers
in affected industries, management believes that Viskase's results
will not be significantly impacted.

Net interest expense for the six month period totaled $28.6 million
representing an increase of $1.5 million from the first six months
of 1995. The increase is the result of borrowings at higher
interest rates, which more than offset the effect of lower
borrowing levels.

Other income (expense) totaled $(3.3) million and $1.1 million for
the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The 1996
expense included a $(2.0) million charge for the termination of the
management agreement with D.P. Kelly & Associates, L.P. The
remaining expense in 1996 and income in 1995 consisted principally
of foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

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 tax benefit for the first six months 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 $3.2 million was
provided on a loss before income taxes of $13.3 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
- -------------------------------

Cash and equivalents decreased by $10.6 million during the six
months ended June 27, 1996. Cash flows used by investing activities
of $16.3 million and for financing activities of $7.7 million
exceed cash flows provided by operating activities of $12.4
million. Cash flows used in investing activity consist principally
of capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Cash
flows used for financing activities were principally attributable
to the principal repayment under the General Electric Capital
Corporation Lease and reduction of foreign borrowing. Cash flows
used in operating activities were principally attributable to the
Company's loss from operations offset by the effect of depreciation
and amortization.

On June 20, 1995, Envirodyne Industries, Inc. (Envirodyne or the
Company) completed the sale of $160 million aggregate principal
amount of senior secured notes pursuant to an indenture dated June
20, 1995 (Indenture) consisting of (i) $151.5 million of 12% Senior
Secured Notes due 2000 and (ii) $8.5 million of Floating Rate
Senior Secured Notes due 2000 (collectively, the Senior Secured
Notes). Envirodyne used the net proceeds of the offering primarily
to refinance senior bank debt and pay transaction fees and
expenses. Concurrently with the June 20, 1995 financing, Envirodyne
entered into a $20 million domestic revolving credit facility
(Revolving Credit Facility) and a $28 million letter of credit
facility (Letter of Credit Facility). The Senior Secured Notes and
the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Letter
of Credit Facility are guaranteed by Envirodyne's significant
domestic subsidiaries and secured by a collateral pool (Collateral
Pool) comprised of: (i) all domestic accounts receivable (including
intercompany receivables) and inventory; (ii) all patents,
trademarks and other intellectual property (subject to non-
exclusive licensing agreements); (iii) substantially all domestic
fixed assets (other than assets subject to a lease agreement with
General Electric Capital Corporation); and (iv) a senior pledge of
100% of the capital stock of Envirodyne's significant domestic
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of Viskase S.A. Such
guarantees and security are shared by the holders of the Senior
Secured Notes and the holders of the obligations under the
Revolving Credit Facility on a pari passu basis pursuant to an
                               ---- -----
intercreditor agreement. Pursuant to such intercreditor agreement,
the security interest of the holders of the obligations under the
Letter of Credit Facility has priority over all other liens on the
Collateral Pool.

The Company finances its working capital needs through a
combination of cash generated through operations and borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility. The availability of funds
under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the Company's
compliance with certain covenants (which are substantially similar
to those included in the Indenture), to borrowing base limitations
measured by accounts receivable and inventory of the Company and to
reserves which may be established in the discretion of the lenders.
Currently, there are no drawings under the Revolving Credit
Facility. The available borrowing capacity under the Revolving
Credit Facility was $20 million at June 27, 1996. There are no
significant restrictions on the Company's ability to transfer funds
among its operations under the terms of its principal debt
agreements.

The Company anticipates that its operating cash flow will be
sufficient to meet its operating expenses and to service its
interest payments on the Senior Secured Notes, the 10.25% Notes and
its other outstanding indebtedness. The Company will be required to
satisfy its $80 million mandatory redemption obligation with
respect to the Senior Secured Notes in 1999 and to pay the
remaining principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes in 2000.
Additionally, the Company's 10.25% Notes, of which $219.3 million
principal amount is outstanding, will mature in December 2001. The
Company expects that in order to make these payments it will be
required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as
refinancing its indebtedness, selling additional equity capital,
reducing or delaying capital expenditures, or selling assets. There
can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be effected
on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1996 and 1995
totaled $16.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively. Capital
expenditures for 1996 are expected to be approximately $34 million
and $31 million in future years.

The Company has entered into interest rate agreements that cap $50
million of interest rate exposures at an average LIBOR rate of
6.50% until January 1997. These interest rate cap agreements were
entered into under terms of the senior bank financing that was
repaid on June 20, 1995. Interest expense includes $306 of
amortization of interest rate cap premium during the three-month
period ended June 27, 1996. The Company has not received any
payments under the interest rate protection agreements.

The Company has spent approximately $11 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 1996 research and development
and product introduction expenses are expected to be approximately
$10 million. Among the projects included in the current research
and development efforts is the application of certain patents and
technology 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.
