                  Independent Auditors' Report



To the Plan Administrator, Savings Plan for
  the Employees of Tredegar Industries, Inc.


     We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for
benefits of the Savings  Plan for the  Employees  of Tredegar  Industries,  Inc.
(Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  and the related  statements of changes
in net assets  available  for benefits for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. 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,  1995 and 1994,  and the  changes in net assets  available  for
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   SAVINGS PLAN FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF TREDEGAR INDUSTRIES, INC.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995


1.   Summary of significant accounting policies

          General - Tredegar Industries, Inc. (Tredegar), which engages directly
     or through subsidiaries in plastics and aluminum 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.

          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

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995


1.   Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

          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
     statements  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.

          Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to
     make estimates and  assumptions  that affect certain  reported  amounts and
     disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

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.

     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 50% of
     each participant's  contribution (for certain divisions'  participants,
     this  match  is  limited  to 25%  of the  first  6% of  salary  deferrals).
     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),  the First  Colony  Corporation  Common Stock Fund (which was
     created  during 1993 as the result of a distribution  to Ethyl  Corporation
     stockholders)  or the  Albemarle  Corporation  Common Stock Fund (which was
     created  during 1994 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.

5.   Contributions and investment options (Continued)

          Investments in the Short-Term Investment Fund are selected by Wachovia
     Bank, N.A.  (Trustee)  (NationsBank,  N.A. prior to January 1, 1995),  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,  First Colony Corporation,  and Albemarle  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  Corporation  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.

          The cost basis  assigned to the  Albemarle  Corporation  common  stock
     received from the distribution by Ethyl  Corporation was 34.99% of the cost
     basis of the Ethyl Corporation  common stock. The market value of Albemarle
     Corporation  common stock on February 28, 1994, was $1,889,293 in excess of
     the cost basis assigned.

6.   Investments

          The  following  tables  present  the  fair  value of  investments  (as
     determined  by quoted  market  price)  as of  December  31,  1995 and 1994.

     assets are separately identified.

          The  Plan is a  defined  contribution  plan  that is  qualified  under

     contains a cash or  deferred  arrangement  that is  designed to satisfy the

     Service has issued a favorable  determination letter concerning the form of
     the Plan under Code Section 401(a).

8.   Annual Short-Term Investment Fund distribution

          The  Plan  provides  that  an  annual  distribution  of  75%  of  each
     participant's  interest in the Short-Term  Investment Fund as of the end of
     the preceding plan year will be made as promptly as  practicable  after the
     beginning of the new plan year unless a participant elects to transfer this
     distribution to the Government Obligations Fund or the Tredegar Industries,
     Inc. Common Stock Fund.  Annual  distributions in the amount of $1,822,924,
     $1,665,194, and $1,667,074 were paid from the Short-Term Investment Fund in
     February 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The remaining balance, if any,
     is carried over in the Short-Term Investment Fund.

9.   Administrative expenses

          Trustee  expenses are borne by the Plan.  All other expenses are borne
     by Tredegar.

10.  Forfeitures
