                 UNITED INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


     Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

     June 30, 1995


     NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
     have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
     to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do
     not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
     accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
     the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
     recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
     been included.  Operating results for the six month period ended June
     30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
     expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.  For further
     information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
     footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
     for the year ended December 31, 1994.

     NOTE B - DIVIDENDS

     A quarterly dividend of $.07 per share is payable August 30, 1995 and
     additional capital has been reduced.  

     NOTE C - SUNDRY

     In May 1995, AAI Systems Management, Inc. (the "subsidiary"), an
     indirect subsidiary of the Company, submitted to the U.S. Government
     (the "customer") a Request for Equitable Adjustment ("REA") totaling
     approximately $11,800,000 in connection with a certain contract with
     the subsidiary.  The REA seeks monetary damages based on costs
     incurred by the subsidiary arising out of or in connection with
     customer directed suspension of work and resulting schedule delays,
     additional work directives, and other actions by the customer in
     connection with the contract for which contractors are allowed
     recovery under the Federal Acquisition Regulations.  On July 14, 1995,
     the subsidiary received the final decision of the customer rejecting
     the REA in its entirety.  Subsequent correspondence from the customer
     offered certain economic relief not offered in it's July 14 rejection
     and a willingness to discuss the claim and a request that work
     continue on this important project.  The subsidiary believes that the
     claims made in the REA are meritorious and will vigorously pursue
     recovery of the monies claimed through a number of options available
     to it, including bringing a direct action in the U.S. Claims Court. 
     The subsidiary is currently evaluating its options and has not yet
     made a decision as to which action it will take.

     The Company provides for costs related to contingencies such as
























     this after its possible exposure is reasonably determined.  It is the
     opinion of management, that the ultimate resolution of this
     contingency will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
     condition of the Company.


     NOTE D - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
      
     The Company, along with numerous other parties, has been named in five
     tort actions relating to environmental matters based on allegations
     partially related to a predecessor's operations.  These tort actions
     seek recovery for personal injury and property damage among other
     damages.  In one tort claim, class certification was granted as to
     both property damage and medical monitoring classes.  The Company has
     joined the other defendants in appealing the class certification issue
     to the Arizona Supreme Court.

     The Company owned and operated a small facility at a site in the State
     of Arizona that manufactured semi-conductors between 1959 and 1960. 
     All such operations of the Company were sold by 1961.  Although this
     facility may have used trichloroethylene ("TCE") in small quantities,
     there is no evidence that this facility released or disposed of TCE at
     this site.

     On May 18, 1993, the State of Arizona filed suit against the Company
     seeking the recovery of investigative costs, injunctive relief to
     require the Company to perform a Remedial Investigation and
     Feasibility Study ("RI/FS"), and ultimately to require the remediation
     of alleged soil and groundwater contamination at and near a certain
     industrial site.  Since then the State has brought in co-defendants
     whose operations at the site were substantially larger than those of
     the Company. 

     On June 20, 1995 the Company and the State of Arizona executed an
     agreement in principle to settle the clean-up litigation.  In exchange
     for a full release from liability by the State and the Arizona
     Department of Environmental Quality, the Company has agreed to the
     following:

     *    Undertake and pay for the costs of an RI/FS based upon a draft
          March 1993 work plan.

     *    Pay $125,000 towards past costs incurred by the State of Arizona
          and the Department of Environmental Quality.

     *    Pay $125,000 towards costs of future remediation and clean-up of
          the site.  In addition, at the time the State selects a remedy,
          the Company agrees to an additional contribution in the amount of
          a percentage of the estimated clean-up cost.

     The Company and the State have begun negotiations on drafting a
     Consent Decree incorporating these terms and conditions.  Resolution
     of this matter will not have a materially adverse effect on the
     consolidated financial position of the Company.


















                                        






     The Company is involved in various other law suits and claims,
     including certain other environmental matters, arising out of the
     normal course of its business.  In the opinion of management, the
     ultimate amount of liability, if any, under pending litigation,
     including claims described above, will not have a materially adverse
     effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.   


































































                                        






     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 

     Results of Operations

     Net sales increased $15,653,000 or 37% to $57,869,000, in the second
     quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994.  For the
     first six months of 1995, net sales were $17,230,000 or 19% higher
     than the same period in 1994.  Sales increased in both periods in all
     segments, except the Plastic Products segment which experienced a
     slight decrease in sales for the three months ending June 30, 1995. 
     The major increase was in the Defense segment.

     Despite the increase in sales, gross profit percentages at the Defense
     segment slipped approximately seven and four percentage points for the
     three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as
     compared to the same periods in the prior year, to approximately 21%
     and 23%, respectively.  These decreases were attributable to lower
     margin projects and are reflective of the competitive market place in
     this segment, and the amortization of intangible assets related to an
     acquisition made in 1994.  The gross profit percentages at the Energy
     segment showed slight improvement for the second quarter and
     significant improvement for the six month period, primarily due to the
     continued emphasis on replacement parts and increased sales of
     Hydrograte stokers which command higher margins as well as ongoing
     operational changes at the Company's foundry operation.

     The benefits of the spending reduction program implemented in 1994
     continue to be reflected in lower Selling and Administrative expenses.
     For example, the Defense segment reported lower overhead spending of
     $1,203,000 and $1,807,000 for the three and six month periods ended
     June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. 
     Higher costs at UIC Corporate, however, as a result of recent
     organization changes and reserves taken to settle an environmental
     suit, partially offset these savings. Selling and Administrative
     expenses as a percentage of net sales were approximately 16% and 19%
     for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995, as compared
     to 25% and 23%, for the same periods in 1994.

     The Company recorded net income of $1,324,000 and $2,464,000 for the
     three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively.  These
     results are essentially unchanged from the same period in 1994, though
     those periods in 1994 include profits of $1,554,000 related to the
     sale of assets associated with the Company's restructuring in 1993.
     The results for both periods in 1995 included improved operating
     results at the Company's Energy segment.  However, lower margins and
     increased amortization of intangible assets at the Defense segment
     offset this improvement in the second quarter.  During the six month
     period, reserves taken to settle an environmental suit and other
     higher corporate expenses as well as lower margins and increased
     amortization of intangible assets at the Defense segment offset the
     improved results at the Energy segment.  The growth experienced in the
     Energy segment was primarily due to strong sales and ongoing
     operational changes at the Company's foundry operation.  















                                       





     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash flows from operations were $9,936,000 for the six month period
     ended June 30, 1995, as compared to $13,106,000 for the same period in
     the prior year.  Changes in working capital accounts explain the
     variance, as net income was substantially unchanged.  Funds from
     operations were sufficient for dividends, capital expenditures, and
     repayment of borrowings.  Additionally, the Company received the final
     installment payment of $8,540,000 on its note receivable in February
     1995.  The Company currently has no significant fixed commitments for
     capital expenditures or for investments.  Its capital requirements
     consist primarily of its obligation to fund operations and interest
     payments on indebtedness.  The Company expects that available cash and
     existing lines of credit will be sufficient to finance operations.


     Contingent Matters

     The Company owned and operated a small facility at a site in the State
     of Arizona that manufactured semi-conductors between 1959 and 1960. 
     All such operations of the Company were sold by 1961.  Although this
     facility may have used trichloroethylene ("TCE") in small quantities,
     there is no evidence that this facility released or disposed of TCE at
     this site.

     On May 18, 1993, the State of Arizona filed suit against the Company
     seeking the recovery of investigative costs, injunctive relief to
     require the Company to perform a Remedial Investigation and
     Feasibility Study ("RI/FS"), and ultimately to require the remediation
     of alleged soil and groundwater contamination at and near a certain
     industrial site.  Since then the State has brought in co-defendants
     whose operations at the site were substantially larger than those of
     the Company. 

     On June 20, 1995 the Company and the State of Arizona executed an
     agreement in principle to settle the clean-up litigation.  In exchange
     for a full release from liability by the State and the Arizona
     Department of Environmental Quality, the Company has agreed to the
     following:

     *    Undertake and pay for the costs of an RI/FS based upon a draft
          March 1993 work plan.

     *    Pay $125,000 towards past costs incurred by the State of Arizona
          and the Department of Environmental Quality.

     *    Pay $125,000 towards costs of future remediation and clean-up of
          the site.  In addition, at the time the State selects a remedy,
          the Company agrees to an additional contribution in the amount of
          a percentage of the estimated clean-up cost.




















                                     






     The Company and the State have begun negotiations on drafting a
     Consent Decree incorporating these terms and conditions.  Resolution
     of this matter will not have a materially adverse effect on the
     consolidated financial position of the 
     Company.

     In May 1995, AAI Systems Management, Inc. (the "subsidiary"), an
     indirect subsidiary of the Company, submitted to the U.S. Government
     (the "customer") a Request for Equitable Adjustment ("REA") totaling
     approximately $11,800,000 in connection with a certain contract with
     the subsidiary.  The REA seeks monetary damages based on costs
     incurred by the subsidiary arising out of or in connection with
     customer directed suspension of work and resulting schedule delays,
     additional work directives, and other actions by the customer in
     connection with the contract for which contractors are allowed
     recovery under the Federal Acquisition Regulations.  On July 14, 1995,
     the subsidiary received the final decision of the customer rejecting
     the REA in its entirety.  Subsequent correspondence from the customer
     offered certain economic relief not offered in it's July 14 rejection
     and a willingness to discuss the claim and a request that work
     continue on this important project.  The subsidiary believes that the
     claims made in the REA are meritorious and will vigorously pursue
     recovery of the monies claimed through a number of options available
     to it, including bringing a direct action in the U.S. Claims Court. 
     The subsidiary is currently evaluating its options and has not yet
     made a decision as to which action it will take.

     The Company provides for costs related to contingencies such as this
     after its possible exposure is reasonably determined.  It is the
     opinion of management, that the ultimate resolution of this
     contingency will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
     condition of the Company.
