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 plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995 and reportable transactions for the year then ended are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rule and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1995 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1995 financial statements taken as a whole.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Investments in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Growth & Income Fund, Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio, Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Fund, Fidelity Contrafund and Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund are reported at current redemption value. The United Industrial Corporation Common Stock is reported at market value, based on published market prices. The change in the difference between cost and market value is reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the aggregate fair value of investments. The net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds and the specific cost of the investments. Rollover contributions represent transfers from other qualified retirement plans. Administrative expenses associated with the UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"), including the amount paid to Fidelity Management Trust Co. for acting as custodian of the investments of the Plan, were paid by United Industrial Corporation (the "Company") in 1995 and 1994. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The Plan is a defined contribution plan. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employees to save regularly and to provide additional funds upon retirement. Contributions are made by employees through payroll deductions and submitted to Fidelity Management Trust Company Cash Reserve Fund, then subsequently deposited in the investment option account(s) selected by the employee. The Company matches employees' contributions and has a profit sharing provision as specified in the Plan document. Employer contributions are vested after five years of service. The Company is the named fiduciary which controls and manages the operations of the Plan and acts as Administrator. 4 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) All employees aged 21 or more who have completed six months of continuous employment and worked over 1,000 hours with the Company (including its participating subsidiaries) are eligible to participate in the Plan. Participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in amounts ranging from 2% to 15% of their earnings up to a limit of $9,240 for 1995 and 1994, respectively. Contributions to the Plan are invested in the available investment options in accordance with the participants' elections. All employee contributions to the Plan are immediately vested. The Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of a termination, the participants accounts shall be distributed to them in cash or in property or in any combination of cash and property. Information about the Plan and the vesting and benefit provisions is contained in the Summary Plan Description of the Plan. Copies are available from the Human Resources Department of the Company. 3. INVESTMENTS The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets available for Plan benefits was as follows: DECEMBER 31 1995 1994 -------------- -------------- Fidelity Magellan Fund $23,897,306 $16,558,075 Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio 18,627,395 17,766,454 Fidelity Growth & Income Fund 5,945,845 2,988,589 4. INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan by a letter dated January 16, 1996 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and is therefore not subject to tax under present income tax laws. The Plan sponsor believes that the Plan continues to qualify and operate as designed. 5 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 5.
