Approximately 56% of the inventories at March 28, 1996 were valued at Last-
In, First-Out (LIFO). These LIFO values exceeded current manufacturing cost
by approximately $5 million at March 28, 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 March 28, 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 11.4%. 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 $153 of amortization of the interest rate cap premium
during the three-month period ended March 28, 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.

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

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

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 upon the current rates offered to the Company for the
debt of the same remaining maturities. At March 28, 1996 the carrying
amount and estimated fair value of debt obligations (excluding capital
lease obligation) were $391,974 and $348,818, 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, continues 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 million
currently if the Company achieves and maintains certain financial ratios.
As of March 28, 1996 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.

The 1996 rental payment of $19,227 was paid on February 28, 1996. Principal
payments under the capital lease obligation for the years ended 1996
through 1999 range from approximately $6 million to $14 million.

Aggregate maturities of remaining long-term debt for each of the next five
fiscal years are:

3.  CONTINGENCIES (dollars in thousands)

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 were seeking substantial damages. In March 1996, Envirodyne
completed a settlement of the lawsuit under which Envirodyne was released
and discharged from all claims in exchange for 900,000 shares of Envirodyne
common stock without any admission or finding of liability or wrongdoing.

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 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 Envirodyne's plan of reorganization
(Plan of Reorganization) in 1993. 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. 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 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. The time period for further appeal
has not passed. Envirodyne believes that even in the event of further
appeal, if any, and reversal of the prior decisions, the maximum number of
shares of common stock that it would be required to issue to such claimants
is approximately 106,000.

Clear Shield National, Inc. and some of its employees have received
subpoenas from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of
Justice relating to a grand jury investigation of the disposable plastic
cutlery industry. The U.S. Department of Justice has advised a former
officer and an existing employee that they are targets of the
investigation. Both individuals were invited to appear and testify before
the grand jury but both declined. Clear Shield National is cooperating
fully with the investigation.

In February 1996 Clear Shield National and three other plastic cutlery
manufacturers were named as defendants in the following three civil
complaints: Eisenberg Brothers, Inc., on behalf of itself and all others
            ------------------------------------------------------------
similarly situated, v. Amcel Corp., Clear Shield National, Inc., Dispoz-O
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corporation, Clear Shield National, Inc., Dispoz-O Plastics Corporation
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
and Benchmark Holdings, Inc. t/a Winkler Products, Civil Action
- -------------------------------------------------
No. 96-1116, 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.

On February 27, 1996, the plaintiff in the St. Cloud case voluntarily
                                           ---------
dismissed the action without prejudice and refiled its action in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania but did not name
Clear Shield National as a defendant. On March 14, 1996, Eisenberg Brothers
Inc. filed a motion in Clear Shield National's Bankruptcy proceeding in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern
Division. Eisenberg Brothers Inc.'s motion contends that the Bankruptcy
Court's order did not discharge the plaintiff's claim.

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.  CAPITAL STOCK, PAID IN CAPITAL, AND WARRANTS

On February 23, 1996, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, Eastern District entered an order approving a
settlement agreement resolving all claims of the former union employees of
Wisconsin Steel Company which shut down in March 1980. Under terms of the
approved settlement of Frank Lumpkin, et al. v. Envirodyne Industries, Inc.
                       --------------------------------------------------- 
(Lumpkin) and without any admission or finding of liability or wrongdoing,
 -------
Envirodyne was released and discharged from all claims in exchange for
900,000 shares of common stock. The distribution is in accordance with the
terms of Envirodyne's Plan of Reorganization under which common stock was
distributed to Envirodyne's general unsecured creditors in satisfaction of
their allowed claims.

The Company issued additional shares of common stock for the Lumpkin
                                                             -------
settlement and to the holders of general unsecured claims of Envirodyne (as
opposed to the subsidiaries of Envirodyne) under the terms of the Plan of
Reorganization. The total number of shares outstanding after issuance of
common stock for the Lumpkin settlement and for the additional distribution
                     -------
to holders of general unsecured claims of Envirodyne is 14,479,721.

Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, Envirodyne issued warrants
to purchase 10% of the fully diluted common stock. The issuance of common
stock pursuant to the Lumpkin settlement, together with other issuances of
                      -------
common stock since the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, caused
an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants and the number of
shares of common stock for which a warrant is exercisable. The exercise
price was adjusted from $17.25 to $16.08 per share and the number of common
shares for which each warrant is exercisable was adjusted from 1.000 share
to 1.073 shares.

5.  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 three months of 1996 were $159.7
million, which represented an increase of 2.5% over the first three months
of 1995. Net sales at Viskase increased by 1.7% over the prior year due to
expansion of Latin American and Asian Pacific sales. First quarter net
sales at Sandusky increased 14.3%. Increased capacity provided by
investments in injection molding equipment, begun in the prior year,
allowed for Sandusky's sales increase. First quarter net sales at Clear
Shield increased 2.6% from the prior year primarily due to selling price
increases.

Operating income for the first three months of 1996 was $9.3 million
representing an increase of 7.0% over the first three months of 1995. The
operating income increase resulted primarily from lower selling, general
and administrative expenses, principally research and development. Declines
in gross margins had some offsetting effect. The decline in gross margin
resulted from continued price competition in both domestic and foreign
markets, particularly within the casing product lines.

The British beef industry has been affected by the heightened media
exposure of 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 three month period totaled $14.5 million
representing an increase of $1.1 million from the first three months of
1995. The increase is the result of borrowings at higher interest rates. 


Other income (expense) totaled $(3.0) million and $.6 million for the first
three 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 three 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 $2.3 million was provided on a loss
before income taxes of $8.2 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 $7.3 million during the three months
ended March 28, 1996. Cash flows used by investing activities of $6.5
million and for financing activities of $7.2 million exceed cash flows
provided by operating activities of $5.9 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 GECC
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 March 28, 1996.

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 three months of 1996 and 1995 totaled
$6.5 million and $7.6 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 $153 of amortization of interest rate cap premium during
the three-month period ended March 28, 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.
