We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Viskase Companies, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Grant Thornton LLP U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd 2 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viskase Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policy Nature of Operations Viskase Companies, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (“we” or the “Company”) is a producer of non- edible cellulosic, fibrous and plastic casings used to prepare and package processed meat products, and provides value-added support services relating to these products, for some of the largest global consumer products companies. The Company operates nine manufacturing facilities, six distribution centers and three service centers in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia and, as a result, is able to sell its products in nearly one hundred countries throughout the world. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and include the use of estimates and assumptions that affect a number of amounts included in the Company’s financial statements, including, among other things, pensions and other postretirement benefits and related disclosures, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. If actual amounts are ultimately different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company’s results for the period in which the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between the Company’s estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to consist of all highly liquid debt investments purchased with an initial maturity of approximately three months or less. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying values approximate the fair market value. Cash equivalents include $182 and $207 of short-term investments at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of the cash held on deposit, essentially all of the cash balance was in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other foreign provided bank insurance. The Company performs periodic evaluations of these institutions for relative credit standing and has not experienced any losses as a result of its cash concentration. Consequently, no significant concentrations of credit risk are considered to exist. Receivables Trade accounts receivable are classified as current assets and are reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts and a reserve for returns. This estimated allowance is primarily based upon our evaluation of the financial condition of each customer, each customer’s ability to pay and historical write-offs. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Property, Plant and Equipment The Company carries property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment additions include acquisition of property and equipment and costs incurred for 10 computer software purchased for internal use including related external direct costs of materials and services and payroll costs for employees directly associated with the project. Upon retirement or other disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in results of operations. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method using a half year convention over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from (i) building and improvements - 10 to 32 years, (ii) machinery and equipment - 4 to 12 years, (iii) furniture and fixtures - 3 to 12 years, (iv) auto and trucks - 2 to 5 years, (v) data processing – 3 to 7 years and (vi) leasehold improvements - shorter of lease or useful life. In the ordinary course of business, we lease certain equipment, consisting mainly of autos, and certain real property. Real property consists of manufacturing, distribution and office facilities. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs are amortized as expense using the effective interest rate method over the expected term of the related debt agreement. Amortization of deferred financing costs is classified as interest expense. Patents and Trademarks Patents and trademarks are amortized on the straight-line method over an estimated average useful life of 10 years. Long-Lived Assets The Company continues to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and patents. Impairments are recognized when the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows derived from long-lived assets are less than their carrying value. If impairment is identified, valuation techniques deemed appropriate under the particular circumstances will be used to determine the asset’s fair value. The loss will be measured based on the excess of carrying value over the determined fair value. The review for impairment is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Shipping and Handling The Company periodically bills customers for shipping charges. These amounts are included in net revenue, with the associated costs included in cost of sales. Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits The Company uses appropriate actuarial methods and assumptions in accounting for its defined benefit pension plans and non-pension postretirement benefits. Actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, accordingly, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. Therefore, assumptions used to calculate benefit obligations as of the end of a fiscal year directly impact the expense to be recognized in future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s accounting for employee benefits as of December 31, 2014 are as follows: • Long-term rate of return on plan assets: The required use of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. Over time, however, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is designed to approximate actual earned long-term returns. The Company uses long-term historical actual return information, the mix of investments that comprise plan assets, and future estimates of long-term investment returns by reference to external sources to develop an assumption of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. The expected long-term rate of return is used to calculate net periodic pension cost. In determining its pension obligations, the Company is using a long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets of 7.75% for 2014. The Company is using a long-term rate of return on French plan assets of 3.20% for 2014. The German pension plan has no assets. 11  • Discount rate: The discount rate is used to calculate future pension and postretirement obligations. The Company is using a Mercer Bond yield curve in determining its pension obligations. The Company is using a discount rate of 4.29% for 2014. The Company is using a weighted average discount rate of 2.06% on its non-U.S. pension plans for 2014. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, the amounts of any future tax benefits are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be realized on a more likely than not basis. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included as a component of tax expense. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes all other non-stockholder changes in equity. Changes in other comprehensive income (loss) in 2014 and 2013 resulted from changes in foreign currency translation and minimum pension liability. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized at the time products are shipped to the customer, under F.O.B shipping point or F.O.B port terms, which is the point at which title is transferred, the customer has the assumed risk of loss, and when payment has been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues are net of discounts, rebates and allowances. Viskase records all labor, raw materials, in-bound freight, plant receiving and purchasing, warehousing, handling and distribution costs as a component of costs of sales. Financial Instruments The Company routinely enters into fixed price natural gas agreements which require us to purchase a portion of our natural gas each month at fixed prices. These fixed price agreements qualify for the “normal purchases” scope exception under derivative and hedging standards, therefore the natural gas purchases under these contracts were expensed as incurred and included within cost of sales. As of December 31, 2014, future annual minimum purchases remaining under the agreement are $3,056. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s revolving loans approximate the carrying value due to credit risk or current market rates, which approximate the effective interest rates on those instruments. The fair value of the Company’s Term Loan is estimated by discounting the future cash flow using the Company’s current borrowing rates for similar types and maturities of debt. New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, which amends FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. This ASU requires that unrecognized tax benefits, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain cases. This ASU is effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2014. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition 12 requirements. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is not permitted). The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. to be recognized before contingencies are resolved In August 2014, the FASB issued amendments that provide guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under the new guidance, management will be required to evaluate at every interim and annual reporting period whether conditions or events exist that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, certain disclosure in the financial statements will be required when substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. These amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements. 2.

Drawings under the amended Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at daily three month LIBOR plus 2.0%. The amended Revolving Credit Facility also provides for an unused line fee of 0.375% per annum. Indebtedness under the amended Revolving Credit Facility is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s domestic and Mexican assets, with liens on (i) accounts, inventory, lockboxes, deposit accounts and investment property (the “ABL Priority Collateral’) to be contractually senior to the liens securing the Term Loan (as hereafter defined) pursuant to an intercreditor agreement, (ii) real property, fixtures and improvements thereon, equipment and proceeds thereof (the “Fixed Asset Priority Collateral”), to be contractually subordinate to the liens securing the Term Loan pursuant to such intercreditor agreement, and (iii) all other assets, to be contractually pari passu with the liens securing the Term Loan pursuant to such intercreditor agreement. Our future direct or indirect material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee the obligations under the amended Revolving Credit Agreement, and to provide security by liens on their assets as described above. The amended Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants which restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, create liens on our assets, make investments, enter into merger, consolidation or acquisition transactions, dispose of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), make certain restricted payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to permitted exceptions. The amended Revolving Credit Facility also requires that we comply with certain financial covenants, including meeting a minimum EBITDA requirement and limitations on capital expenditures, in the event our usage of the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 90% of the facility amount. The Company is in compliance with the Revolving Credit Facility covenants as of December 31, 2014. The amended Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings as of December 31, 2014. In its foreign operations, the Company has unsecured lines of credit with various banks providing approximately $8,000 of availability. There were borrowings of $1,065 under the lines of credit at December 31, 2014. The borrowing has an interest rate of 3 month EUR LIBOR plus a margin of 2.16% with quarterly installments due through July 15, 2016. Term Loan Facility On January 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with UBS AG, Stamford Branch (“UBS”), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the Lenders parties thereto, providing for a $275,000 senior secured covenant lite term loan facility (“Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest at a LIBOR Rate plus 3.25% (with the LIBOR Rate carrying a 1.00% floor or at a Base Rate equal to the sum of (1) the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, or (d) 2.0%, plus (2) 2.25%). As of December 31, 2014, the interest rate was 4.25% on the Term Loan. The Term Loan has a 1% per annum amortization with a maturity date of January 30, 2021. The Term Loan is subject to certain additional mandatory prepayments upon asset sales, incurrence of indebtedness not otherwise permitted, and based upon a percentage of excess cash flow. Prepayments on the Term Loan may be made at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of 1% for certain prepayments during the first six months of the term. Indebtedness under the Term Loan is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s domestic and Mexican assets, with liens on (i) the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, to be contractually senior to the liens securing the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the intercreditor agreement, (ii) the ABL Priority Collateral, to be contractually subordinate to the liens securing the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the intercreditor agreement, and (iii) all other assets, to be contractually pari passu with the liens securing the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the intercreditor agreement. Our future direct or indirect material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee the obligations under the Term Loan, and to provide security by liens on their assets as described above. 16  9.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 In December 2009, Viskase issued $175 million of 9.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Viskase 9.875% Notes”). The Viskase 9.875% Notes bore interest at a rate of 9.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2010. In May 2010, Viskase issued an additional $40 million aggregate principal amount of Viskase 9.875% Notes under the indenture governing the Viskase 9.875% Notes Indenture (the “Viskase 9.875% Notes Indenture”). The Viskase 9.875% Notes had a maturity date of January 15, 2018. In connection with certain financing transactions, the Viskase 9.875% Notes were paid off in full on January 30, 2014. The Company incurred a loss of $15,739 on early redemption consisting of the premium on early redemption and the write off of the remaining deferred fees and discount related to the Viskase 9.875% Notes. Debt Maturity The aggregate maturities of debt (1) for each of the next five years are: (1) The aggregate maturities of debt represent amounts to be paid at maturity and not the current carrying value of the debt. 9. Capital Lease Obligations The Company has entered into capital lease obligations to acquire certain equipment and building improvements for its manufacturing facilities. The equipment leases have a term of 3 to 5 years and the building improvement lease has a term of 5 years. The Company has determined that automobiles leased by the Company are capital leases with an average term of 4 years. The depreciation of capital leases is included in depreciation expense. The following is an analysis of leased property under capital leases by major classes. 17 20152016201720182019ThereafterTerm Loan Facility $ 2,750 $ 2,750 $ 2,750 $ 2,750 $ 2,750 $ 258,500 Europe lines of credit609 456 - - - - Other - - - - - 976 $ 3,359 $ 3,206 $ 2,750 $ 2,750 $ 2,750 $ 259,476 20142013Building and improvements$492$543Machinery and equipment2,7102,832Less: Accumulated depreciation(2,528)(2,514)$674$861 The following is a schedule by years of minimum future lease payments as of December 31, 2014. 10. Operating Leases The Company has operating lease agreements for machinery, equipment and facilities. The majority of the facility leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes. Certain of these leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options. Future minimum lease payments for operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2014, are: Total rent expense during 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $3,525, $4,617 and $4,343 respectively. 11. Retirement Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have defined contribution and defined benefit plans varying by country and subsidiary. The Company’s operations in the United States, France, Germany and Canada historically offered defined benefit retirement plans (“Plan”) to their employees. Most of these benefits have been terminated, resulting in various reductions in liabilities and curtailment gains. Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, as of December 31, 2014 are the following amounts not yet recognized in net periodic benefit cost: Amounts included in other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost for the year ending December 31, 2015 are: 18 Year ending December 31,2015$31420162292017109201843201913 Thereafter- Total minimum payments required708Less amount representing interest(116)Present value of net minimum lease payments$5922015$3,513 20163,163 20172,525 20182,542 20191,537 Total thereafter9,801 Total minimum lease payments$23,081 U.S. Pension Benefits Non U.S. Pension BenefitsNet actuarial loss Prior service credit ($46,554)($3,990)4 - The measurement date for all defined benefit plans is December 31.

The Company is using a Mercer bond model for determining its U.S. pension benefits. The Company is using a weighted average discount rate of 2.06% on its non U.S. pension plans for 2014. The Company’s expected return on plan assets is evaluated annually based upon a study which includes a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy to provide for the timing and amount of benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term prospective rate. The Company’s overall investment strategy is to achieve growth through a mix of approximately 75% of investments for long-term growth and 25% for near-term benefit payments with a wide diversification of asset types, fund strategies, and fund managers. The target allocations for plan assets are 64% equity securities, 17% hedge funds and 19% to fixed income investments. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap companies primarily located in the United States and international developed markets. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. Treasuries. Other types of investments include investments in hedge funds that follow several different strategies. In accordance with FASB guidance, Plan management uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value of investments. Mutual funds - Valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Plan at year-end, which is obtained from an active market. Collective trust funds - Value provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV's unit price is quoted on a private market that is not active. Hedge funds - Value provided by the administrator of the fund. The pricing for these funds is provided monthly by the fund to determine the quoted price. The fair values of the Company’s pension plan asset allocation at December 31, 2014 and 2013, by asset category are as follows: 20 Non U.S. Pension Benefits201420132012201420132012Component of net period benefit costService cost-$ -$ -$ $471$415$323Interest cost7,2056,6256,965364390423Expected return on plan assets(9,055)(7,877)(7,321)(178)(194)(178)Amortization of prior service cost- - (1) - - - Amortization of actuarial loss8634,2403,429100 88 12 ($987)$2,988$3,072$757$699$580U.S. Pension BenefitsU.S. Pension Benefits Non U.S. Pension Benefits2014201320142013Discount rate4.29%5.23%2.06%3.28%Expected return on plan assets7.75%7.75%3.20%3.50%Rate of compensation increaseN/AN/A2.27%3.00% 21 Fair Value Measurement atDecember 31, 2014Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical AssetsSignificant Observable InputsSignificant Unobservable InputsAsset Category Total(Level 1)(Level 2)(Level 3)Cash equivalents$5,094$5,094-$ -$ Equity securities: U.S. companies26,189 26,189 - - International companies 4,682 4,682 - - U.S-Large Cap Equity Growth 13,551 13,551 - - U.S-Mutual Funds 28,360 - 28,360 - Fixed income securities:- Government Treasuries1,999 1,999 - - Mortgage-backed securities 499 - 499 - Corporate Bond5,942 5,942 - - High yield fund14,399 14,399 - - Other types of investments: Hedge funds 21,336 - - 21,336 Real Estate75 75 - - Total $122,126$71,93128,859$ 21,336$ Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)Combined Hedge Funds$20,626 Total realized loss206 Change in unrealized depreciation1,182 Cost of purchases5,311 Proceeds from sales(5,989) $21,336Beginning balance at January 1, 2014Ending balance at December 31, 2014 The following table provides a summary of the estimated benefit payments for the postretirement plans for the next five fiscal years individually and for the following five fiscal years in the aggregate. 22 Fair Value Measurement atDecember 31, 2013Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical AssetsSignificant Observable InputsSignificant Unobservable InputsAsset Category Total(Level 1)(Level 2)(Level 3)Cash equivalents$4,211$4,211-$ -$ Equity securities: U.S. companies37,660 37,660 - - International companies 5,355 5,355 - - U.S-Large Cap Equity Growth 12,991 12,991 - - U.S-Mutual Funds 14,875 - 14,875 - Fixed income securities:- Government Treasuries1,763 1,763 - - Mortgage-backed securities 1,062 - 1,062 - Corporate Bond5,704 5,704 - - High yield fund14,011 14,011 - - Other types of investments: Hedge funds 20,626 - - 20,626 Real Estate84 84 - - Preferred Stock34 - 34 - Total $118,376$81,77915,971$ 20,626$ Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)Combined Hedge Funds$29,520 Total realized loss(270) Change in unrealized depreciation3,141 Cost of purchases32,198 Proceeds from sales(43,963) $20,626Ending balance at December 31, 2013Beginning balance at January 1, 2013Total Estimated Benefit PaymentsU.S.Non U.S 2015$8,762$4972016 9,0285452017 9,1323612018 9,2657372019 9,4727752020-2024 49,3502,630 The Company’s expected contribution for the 2015 fiscal year is $3,343 for the U.S. There is no funding requirement for non U.S. pension plans. Savings Plans The Company also has defined contribution savings and similar plans for eligible employees, which vary by subsidiary. The Company’s aggregate contributions to these plans are based on eligible employee contributions and certain other factors. The Company expense for these plans was $1,230, $1,120 and $875 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. International Plans The Company maintains various pension and statutory separation pay plans for its European employees. The expense, not including the French and German pension plan, in 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $787, $854 and $825, respectively. As of their most recent valuation dates, for those plans where vested benefits exceeded plan assets, the actuarially computed value of vested benefits exceeded those plans’ assets by approximately $1,672. 12. Capital Stock, Treasury Stock and Paid in Capital Authorized shares of preferred stock ($0.01 par value per share) and common stock ($0.01 par value per share) for the Company are 50,000,000 shares and 50,000,000 shares, respectively. In 2004, the Company purchased 805,270 shares of its common stock from the underwriter for a purchase price of $298. The common stock has been accounted for as treasury stock 13. Income Taxes Income tax provision (benefit) consisted of: The reconciliation of income tax provision (benefit) attributable to earnings differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate to earnings by the following amounts: 23 201420132012CurrentDomestic$52 $195 $123 Foreign 2,540 5,540 6,023 Total current 2,592 5,735 6,146 Deferred Domestic 2,429 (51,498) - Foreign (1,963) (5,696) (1,400)Total deferred 466 (57,194) (1,400) Total$3,058 ($51,459)$4,746 Temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards that give rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets and liabilities for 2014 and 2013 are as follows: In the consolidated balance sheets, these deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as either current or non-current based on the classification of the related liability or asset for financial reporting. A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting, including deferred taxes related to carry forwards, is classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary differences as of the end of the year. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management beleives that is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will be realized based on the weight of positive evidence and future income except with respect to the loss in Poland. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $0.3 million in Poland.

The Company has gross foreign net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $15.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively and has an unlimited carryforward period. The Company joins in filing a United States consolidated Federal income tax return including all of its domestic subsidiaries. Uncertainty in Income Taxes The uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014 totaled $5,890. The following table summarizes the activity related to the unrecognized tax benefits. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740 10 05, formerly FIN 48. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with ASC Statement No. 740, "Income Taxes." This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement approach for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In 2014, the Company recognized an approximate net decrease of $2,058 to reduce the reserves for uncertain tax positions. The majority of the decrease in the reserve is due to a lapse in the statute of the uncertain tax positions with the Brazililian and French taxing authorities. Approximately $5,890 of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2010. Substantially all material state and local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2009. Based on the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months by approximately $1,100. The Company's continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded adjustments for interest of $(167) and $120, respectively, and for penalties of $(434) and $76, respectively related to these unrecognized tax benefits. In total, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has recorded a liability of interest of $117 and $284, respectively, and $352 and $786, respectively, for potential penalties. 25 (in thousands)20142013Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1$7,937 $7,770Increases in positions taken in a prior period - 329 Decreases in positions taken in a prior period (507)(60)Increases in positions taken in a current period 651 578 Decreases in positions taken in a current period - Decreases due to settlements (100)(200)Decreases due to lapse of statute of limitations(2,091) (480) Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31$5,890$7,937 14. Contingencies The Company from time to time is involved in various other legal proceedings, none of which are expected to have a material adverse effect upon results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 15. Stock-Based Compensation (Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts) Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Included in net income is non-cash compensation expense of $60 for the year ended December 31, 2014, $48 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $1 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The fair values of the options granted during 2013, 2009, 2007 and 2005 were estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option pricing model. The assumptions used and the estimated fair values are as follows: In April 2013, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to its current chief administrative officer for the purchase of 325,000 shares of its common stock under an employment agreement. Options were granted at the fair market value at date of grant and will vest one third each on December 31, 2013, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. The options for the chief administrative officer expire on April 16, 2018. In February 2009, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to its former chief financial officer for the purchase of 300,000 shares of its common stock. Options were granted at the fair market value at date of grant and are fully vested. The options were exercised during the second quarter of 2012. In October 2007, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to its current chief executive officer for the purchase of 1,500,000 shares of its common stock under an employment agreement. Options were granted at the fair market value at date of grant and are fully vested. The options for the chief executive officer expire on October 29, 2017. The Company has outstanding non-qualified stock options granted to other members of management for the purchase of 95,000 shares of its common stock. Options were granted at, or above, the fair market value at date of grant and are fully vested. The options granted to other members of management expire ten years from the date of grant. 26 2013200920072005Expected term5 years10 years10 years10 yearsExpected stock volatility17.33%35.10%23.04%14.88%Risk-free interest rate1.75%2.87%4.39%4.17%Expected forfeiture rate0.00%0.00%14.00%35.00%Fair value per share$0.51$0.09$0.77$1.09 The Company's outstanding options were: Vested and exercisable options as of December 31, 2014 were 1,726,668 with a weighted average share price of $2.82. 16.

Related-Party Transactions As of December 31, 2014, Icahn Enterprises L.P. owned approximately 73.5% of our outstanding common stock. There were no new shares of common stock purchased during the year ended December 31, 2014. Insight Portfolio Group LLC (“Insight Portfolio Group”) is an entity formed and controlled by Mr. Icahn in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. On January 1, 2013, Viskase acquired a minority equity interest in Insight Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group’s operating expenses, which is approximately $197 in 2014. A number of other entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship also acquired equity interests in Insight Portfolio Group and also agreed to pay certain of Insight Portfolio Group’s operating expenses in 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company purchased $44 and $46, respectively, in telecommunication services in the ordinary course of business from XO Communications, Inc., an affiliate of Icahn Enterprises L.P.
