Independent Auditors' Report
To the Plan Administrator, Savings Plan for
the Employees of Tredegar Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets
available for benefits of the Savings Plan for the Employees of
Tredegar Industries, Inc. (Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
General - Tredegar Industries, Inc. (Tredegar), which
engages directly or through subsidiaries in plastics,
aluminum and energy businesses, is a Virginia corporation
that was organized in 1988 as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Ethyl Corporation. On or about July 10, 1989 (Record Date),
Ethyl Corporation distributed all of the outstanding shares
of Tredegar common stock to the holders of common stock of
Ethyl Corporation at the rate of one share of Tredegar
common stock for every ten shares of Ethyl Corporation
common stock held on the Record Date.
The Savings Plan for the Employees of Tredegar
Industries, Inc. (Plan) was adopted by the Board of
Directors of Tredegar on June 14, 1989, and was approved by
Ethyl Corporation, Tredegar's sole shareholder, on June 19,
1989. The Plan was effective as of July 1, 1989. In
connection with the establishment of the Plan and the
distribution of Tredegar's common stock, the accounts of
Tredegar employees in the Savings Plan for the Employees of
Ethyl Corporation (Ethyl Plan) were transferred to the Plan.
The Plan is subject to Titles I, II and III and is
exempt from Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Title IV of ERISA provides
for federally sponsored insurance for plans that terminate
with unfunded benefits. No such insurance is provided to
participants in this Plan, however, because the benefits
that participants are entitled to receive are always equal
to the value of their account balances and, for that reason,
the Plan is always fully funded. The value of a
participant's account may change from time to time. Each
participant assumes the risk of fluctuations in the value of
his account.
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

SAVINGS PLAN FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF TREDEGAR INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Security valuation - Investments are stated at fair
value determined as follows:
Money market funds - market price which is
equivalent to cost
Common stocks - last published sale price
on the New York Stock
Exchange
United States government
obligations - last bid price
Security transactions and related investment income -
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date
and dividend income is recorded as earned on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual
basis. Premiums and discounts on securities are not being
amortized or accreted because the effect on the financial
statements would not be significant and would have no effect
on net asset values. In determining the realized net gain
or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is
determined on an average cost basis. The Plan presents in
the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair
value of investments, which consists of the realized gains
or losses and the change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on those investments.
2. Description of Plan
The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Information
regarding plan benefits and vesting is provided in the Plan
and related documents which are available at Tredegar's main
office at 1100 Boulders Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23225.

3. Contributions and investment options
As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were 1,751 and
1,590 employees, respectively, participating in the Plan.
Participation in each fund was as follows:
Number of Participants
December 31,
1993 1992
Short-Term Investment Fund 933 859
Government Obligations Fund 662 583
Tredegar Industries, Inc. Common
Stock Fund 1,557 1,410
Ethyl Corporation Common Stock Fund 505 577
First Colony Corporation Common Stock
Fund 503 -
As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, 2,987 and 2,783
employees, respectively, were eligible to participate in the
Plan.
Participants in the Plan currently may select a program
for investment in the Short-Term Investment Fund, Government
Obligations Fund or Tredegar Industries, Inc. Common Stock
Fund, or in any combination thereof in even multiples of
10%. Each participant may contribute a percentage of his or
her base pay (as defined) ranging from a minimum of 1% to a
maximum of 10%. The contribution paid on behalf of the
participant by Tredegar is equal to 50% of each
participant's contribution. Contributions made by Tredegar
are invested in the Tredegar Industries, Inc. Common Stock
Fund.
No additional contributions may be invested in either
the Ethyl Corporation Common Stock Fund (which was an
investment option under the Ethyl Plan) or the First Colony
Corporation Common Stock Fund (which was created during 1993
as the result of a distribution to Ethyl Corporation
stockholders). However, existing investments in these Funds
may continue or the participants may direct the transfer of
their investment in these Funds to the Government
Obligations Fund or the Tredegar Industries, Inc. Common
Stock Fund.

3. Contributions and investment options (Continued)
Investments in the Short-Term Investment Fund are
selected by NationsBank (Trustee) from fund securities
maturing within one year or revolving credit arrangements
that are completely liquid investments. Investments in the
other active funds are made primarily in United States
government obligations and Tredegar common stock.
Investments in the common stock of Ethyl Corporation and
First Colony Corporation are now held until liquidation or
distribution under the Plan. The United States government
obligations selected for investment are United States
Treasury notes or bills. The Trustee is permitted under the
trust agreement to invest monies held by it until such time
as the funds are invested in accordance with participants'
directions or disbursed in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. These permitted investments include certain
commercial paper, variable notes, certificates of deposit,
money market funds and obligations of or guaranteed by the
government of the United States or any agency thereof.
The cost basis assigned to the First Colony common
stock received from the distribution by Ethyl Corporation
was 31.62% of the cost basis of the Ethyl Corporation common
stock. The market value of First Colony Corporation common
stock on July 1, 1993 was $3,018,995 in excess of the cost
basis assigned.

5. Federal income taxes
The Plan is a defined contribution plan that is
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). The Plan
contains a cash or deferred arrangement that is designed to
satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k). Generally,
contributions (other than employee after-tax contributions)
to the Plan and earnings on those contributions are not
taxable until distributed from the Plan. Tredegar will
request the Internal Revenue Service to issue a favorable
determination letter concerning the form of the Plan under
Code Section 401(a). Although there can be no assurance
that the Internal Revenue Service will issue a favorable
determination letter with respect to the Plan, Tredegar
expects that it will do so.
