SILGAN HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at June 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the
three and six months then ended is unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Silgan
Holdings Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the full year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived
from our audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

You should read the accompanying financial statements in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year's presentation.


Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, or SFAS, No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 revises the accounting
treatment for business combinations to require the use of purchase accounting
and prohibit the use of the pooling-of-interests method for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 revises the accounting
for goodwill to eliminate amortization of goodwill on transactions consummated
after June 30, 2001 and of all other goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS
No. 142 also requires goodwill and other intangibles to be assessed for
impairment each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible
impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that an initial transitional impairment test
be performed within six months of the date of adoption. During the second
quarter of 2002, we completed the initial impairment test as of January 1, 2002,
and no impairment was noted.

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of
Accounting Principles Board, or APB, No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS
No. 144 provides updated guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of
an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived assets and expands the scope
of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity. The adoption of
SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not impact our financial position or results
of operations.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

Extinguishment of Debt and Various Technical Corrections
- --------------------------------------------------------

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS
No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4,
"Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," and SFAS No. 64,
"Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145
also rescinds SFAS No. 44 and amends SFAS No. 13 and other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. In
accordance with SFAS No. 145, certain gains or losses on extinguishment of debt
that were classified as extraordinary items in prior periods are required to be
reclassified. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS
No. 4 and SFAS No. 64 are effective for us on January 1, 2003, and all other
provisions are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. We are
currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities
- -------------------------------------------------

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires
the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability
for an exit cost was recognized at the date an entity committed to an exit plan.
The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities
that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

Note 3. Rationalization (Credit) Charges and Acquisition Reserves

During the first quarter of 2002, certain assets of our metal food container
business with carrying values that were previously written down were placed back
in service. As a result, we recorded a $2.3 million rationalization credit in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and recorded those assets in
our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their depreciated cost, which
approximated fair value. During the first quarter of 2001, we recorded a
rationalization charge of $3.5 million relating to closing our Fairfield, Ohio
plastic container manufacturing facility. This charge consisted of $2.6 million
for plant exit costs and $0.9 million for employee severance and benefits.

As part of our plans to integrate the operations of our various acquired
businesses, including the Food Metal and Specialty business of American National
Can Company, or AN Can, and to rationalize certain facilities, we have
established reserves for employee severance and benefits, plant exit costs and
acquisition liabilities. Except for certain contractual obligations, these costs
are expected to be incurred primarily through 2002. Activity in our
rationalization and acquisition reserves since December 31, 2001 is summarized
as follows:

Note 6. Investment in Affiliate

Effective July 1, 2001, we formed a joint venture company with Schmalbach-Lubeca
AG (whose interest in the joint venture was recently purchased by Amcor, Ltd.)
that supplies an extensive range of metal and plastic closures to the food and
beverage industries in North America. The joint venture operates under the name
Amcor White Cap LLC, or White Cap. We contributed certain metal closure assets
and liabilities, including our manufacturing facilities in Evansville and
Richmond, Indiana, in return for a 35 percent interest in and $32.4 million of
cash proceeds from the joint venture.

We account for our investment in White Cap using the equity method. During the
second quarter of 2002, we recorded equity in losses of White Cap of $1.2
million, net of income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we
recorded equity in losses of White Cap of $1.8 million, net of income taxes.
These results included $2.0 million, net of income taxes, for our portion of
White Cap's second quarter rationalization charge to close a metal closure
manufacturing facility and $0.7 million, net of income taxes, for our portion of
White Cap's gain on the sale of certain assets at a price in excess of book
value.

9% Debentures
- -------------

On April 29, 2002, we issued an additional $200 million aggregate principal
amount of our 9% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2009, or the 9% Debentures,
in a private placement. The newly issued 9% Debentures were an add-on issuance
under the Indenture for our existing 9% Debentures originally issued in June
1997. The terms of the newly issued 9% Debentures are identical to the existing
9% Debentures issued in June 1997 except that the newly issued 9% Debentures are
subject to certain transfer restrictions until we complete a registered exchange
offer.

The issue price for the new 9% Debentures was 103 percent of their principal
amount. Net cash proceeds received from this issuance were approximately $202
million, after deducting selling commissions and offering expenses payable by
us. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay a portion of our
revolving loan obligations under our previous U.S. senior secured credit
facility, or the U.S. Credit Agreement.

Note 7. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Bank Credit Agreement
- ---------------------

On June 28, 2002, we completed the refinancing of our U.S. Credit Agreement by
entering into a new $850 million senior secured credit facility, or the New
Credit Agreement. Our New Credit Agreement provides us with $100 million of A
term loans, $350 million of B term loans and up to $400 million of revolving
loans. Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, we also have a $275 million
incremental uncommitted term loan facility.

Revolving loans may be used for working capital needs and other general
corporate purposes, including acquisitions. Revolving loans may be borrowed,
repaid and reborrowed over the life of the New Credit Agreement until their
final maturity. We are required to maintain, for at least one period of 30
consecutive days during each calendar year, total average unutilized revolving
loan commitments of at least $90 million. The A term loans and revolving loans
mature on June 28, 2008 and the B term loans mature on November 30, 2008.
Principal on the A term loans and B term loans is required to be repaid in
scheduled annual installments during each of the years set forth below and
amounts repaid may not be reborrowed (in thousands):

Year A Term Loans B Term Loans
---- ------------ ------------
2002 $ -- $ 1,750
2003 16,670 3,500
2004 16,670 3,500
2005 16,670 3,500
2006 16,670 3,500

2008 16,650 330,750
-------- --------
$100,000 $350,000
======== ========

The New Credit Agreement requires us to prepay term loans with proceeds received
from the incurrence of indebtedness, except proceeds used to refinance other
existing indebtedness; with proceeds received from certain assets sales; and,
under certain circumstances, with 50 percent of our excess cash flow. Generally,
prepayments are allocated pro rata to the A term loans and B term loans and
applied first to the scheduled amortization payments in the year of such
prepayments and, to the extent in excess thereof, pro rata to the remaining
installments of term loans.

The incremental uncommitted term loan facility provides, among other things,
that any incremental term loan borrowing shall be denominated in a single
currency, either U.S. dollars or certain foreign currencies; have a maturity
date no earlier than the maturity date for the B term loans; and be used to
finance permitted acquisitions, refinance any indebtedness assumed as part of
such permitted acquisition, to refinance or repurchase subordinated debt and to
repay outstanding revolving loans.

Note 7. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Bank Credit Agreement (continued)
- ---------------------

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement may be designated as base rate or
Eurodollar rate borrowings. The base rate is the higher of the prime lending
rate of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas or 1/2 of one percent in excess of
the overnight federal funds rate. Initially, the interest rate for all loans
under the New Credit Agreement is the base rate plus a margin of one percent or
the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of two percent. After December 31, 2002, the
interest rate margin on base rate and Eurodollar rate borrowings will be reset
quarterly based upon our Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the New Credit
Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement provides for the payment of a commitment fee ranging
from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent per annum on the daily average unused portion
of commitments available under the revolving credit facility. Initially, the
commitment fee will be 0.50 percent per annum. After December 31, 2002, the
margin will be reset quarterly based on our Total Leverage Ratio.

We may utilize up to a maximum of $50 million of our revolving credit facility
under the New Credit Agreement for letters of credit as long as the aggregate
amount of borrowings of revolving loans and letters of credit do not exceed the
amount of the commitment under such revolving credit facility. The New Credit
Agreement provides for payment to the applicable lenders of a letter of credit
fee equal to the applicable margin in effect for revolving loans maintained as
Eurodollar rate loans and to the issuers of letters of credit of a facing fee of
1/4 of one percent per annum, calculated on the aggregate stated amount of all
letters of credit.

The indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us and certain
of our U.S. subsidiaries and is secured by a security interest in substantially
all of our real and personal property. The stock of certain of our U.S.
subsidiaries has also been pledged as security to the lenders under the New
Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement contains certain financial and
operating covenants which limit, among other things, our ability and the ability
of our subsidiaries to grant liens, sell assets and use the proceeds from
certain asset sales, make certain payments (including dividends) on our capital
stock, incur indebtedness or provide guarantees, make loans or investments,
enter into transactions with affiliates, make certain capital expenditures,
engage in any business other than the packaging business, and, with respect to
our subsidiaries, issue stock. In addition, we are required to meet specified
financial covenants including Interest Coverage and Total Leverage Ratios, each
as defined in the New Credit Agreement. We are currently in compliance with all
covenants under the New Credit Agreement.

Note 7. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Bank Credit Agreement (continued)
- ---------------------

At June 30, 2002, there were $157.7 million of revolving loans outstanding under
the New Credit Agreement related primarily to seasonal working capital needs. We
currently expect to repay $157.7 million of revolving loans and $1.8 million of
term loans within one year.

As a result of this refinancing, we recorded an extraordinary charge of $0.6
million, net of income taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter
of 2002 for the write-off of unamortized financing costs related to the U.S.
Credit Agreement.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement
- ----------------------------
In August 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional
principal amount of $100 million. Under this agreement, we will pay a fixed rate
of interest of 2.525 percent and receive a floating rate of interest based on
three month LIBOR. The agreement is effective starting in January of 2003 and
matures in July of 2004.



Note 8. Business Segment Information

Historically, we reported the results of our specialty packaging business as a
separate business segment, which included our metal closures, Omni plastic
container, Polystar easy-open plastic end and paperboard container businesses.
As a result of the White Cap joint venture on July 1, 2001, we no longer report
the results of our remaining specialty packaging businesses as a separate
business segment. The results of the Omni plastic container and Polystar
easy-open plastic end businesses are reported with our plastic container
business, and the results of the paperboard container business are reported with
our metal food container business. The results of our metal closures business,
which was contributed to the White Cap joint venture, are reported separately.
Prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current presentation.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales increased $10.8 million, or 2.4 percent, to
$456.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to net
sales of $445.4 million for the same three months in the prior year. This
increase was the result of higher net sales of the metal food container
business, partially offset by the impact of contributing the metal closure
business to the White Cap joint venture and lower net sales of the plastic
container business. Excluding second quarter 2001 net sales of $24.1 million of
the metal closure business, net sales for the second quarter of 2002 increased
$34.9 million, or 8.3 percent, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the metal food container business were $327.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $37.6 million, or 13.0 percent,
from net sales of $290.0 million for the same period in 2001. This increase was
primarily attributable to higher unit volume, partially offset by a less
favorable sales mix.

Net sales for the plastic container business of $128.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $2.7 million, or 2.1 percent, from net
sales of $131.3 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily
a result of lower average sales prices due to the pass through of lower resin
costs, partially offset by higher unit volume.



-21-




Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was 87.4 percent of consolidated net
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 0.2 percentage
points as compared to 87.2 percent for the same period in 2001. The decrease in
gross margin was primarily attributable to the metal food container business,
which was impacted by a less favorable sales mix, costs incurred to absorb new
volume awarded and higher depreciation expense, partially offset by an improved
product mix and increased productivity of the plastic container business and the
elimination of goodwill amortization.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $19.5 million, or 4.3 percent of consolidated net
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $19.3 million, or
4.3 percent, for the same period in 2001. Higher selling, general and
administrative expenses in the plastic container business were largely offset by
the impact of contributing the metal closure business to the White Cap joint
venture.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2002
was $37.9 million, essentially flat as compared to the same period in 2001. This
was primarily a result of higher income from operations in the plastic container
business and the elimination of goodwill amortization, offset by the impact of
contributing the metal closure business to the White Cap joint venture.
Excluding income from operations of the metal closure business that was
contributed to the White Cap joint venture in 2001, income from operations for
the second quarter of 2002 increased by $2.3 million, or 6.5 percent, as
compared to the same period in 2001. Operating margin for the second quarter of
2002 decreased 0.2 percentage points to 8.3 percent, as compared to 8.5 percent
for the same period in 2001. This decrease in operating margin was primarily the
result of lower margins in the metal food container business, partially offset
by higher margins in the plastic container business.

Income from operations of the metal food container business in the second
quarter of 2002 increased $0.4 million, or 1.8 percent, to $22.5 million as
compared to $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2001. Operating margin
decreased 0.7 percentage points to 6.9 percent in the second quarter of 2002 as
compared to 7.6 percent for the same period in 2001. Income from operations of
the metal food container business for the second quarter of 2001 included $0.6
million of goodwill amortization. The increase in income from operations was
principally due to higher sales and the elimination of goodwill amortization,
largely offset by costs incurred to absorb new volume awarded, higher
depreciation expense and start-up costs related to the manufacture of
convenience ends.

Income from operations for the plastic container business for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 increased $2.1 million, or 14.3 percent, to $16.8 million as
compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2001, and operating margin
increased 1.9 percentage points to 13.1 percent as compared to 11.2 percent for
the second quarter of 2001. Income from operations of the plastic container
business for the second quarter of 2001 included $0.7 million of goodwill
amortization. The increase in income from operations and operating margin was
primarily a result of improved product mix, increased productivity and the
elimination of goodwill amortization.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.8 million to $18.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The
decrease in interest expense was a result of lower interest rates and
approximately $100 million in lower average borrowings as compared to the same
period in 2001.



-22-




Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 was recorded at an effective annual income tax rate of 39.0
percent and 40.2 percent, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate
was largely due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization that was
non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Net Income and Earnings per Share. Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was
$10.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $7.4
million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001. Net income
for the second quarter of 2002 included our portion of a rationalization charge
of White Cap of $2.0 million, net of tax, or $0.11 per diluted share, our
portion of a gain on the sale of assets by White Cap of $0.7 million, net of
tax, or $0.04 per diluted share, and an extraordinary charge of $0.6 million,
net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the write-off of unamortized
financing costs as a result of the refinancing of our U.S. Credit Agreement. Net
income for the second quarter of 2001 included equity in losses of Packtion
Corporation, or Packtion, a now dissolved e-commerce packaging venture, of $2.5
million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

Excluding our portion of both White Cap's rationalization charge and gain on
sale of assets and the extraordinary charge in the second quarter of 2002,
earnings for the second quarter of 2002 were $12.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted
share. Excluding equity in losses of Packtion, earnings were $10.0 million, or
$0.55 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001.

SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," required us
to eliminate the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. However, if
we continued to amortize goodwill during the second quarter of 2002, we would
have recorded additional expense of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.04 per
diluted share.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales decreased $8.4 million, or 0.9 percent, to
$880.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to net sales
of $888.9 million for the same six months in the prior year. This decrease was
the result of the impact of contributing the metal closure business to the White
Cap joint venture and lower sales of the plastic container business, partially
offset by higher sales of the metal food container business. Excluding net sales
for the first six months of 2001 of $46.2 million of the metal closure business,
net sales for the first six months of 2002 increased $37.8 million, or 4.5
percent, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the metal food container business were $627.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $43.5 million, or 7.5 percent, from
net sales of $583.5 million for the same period in 2001. This increase was
primarily attributable to higher unit volume.

Net sales for the plastic container business of $253.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $5.7 million, or 2.2 percent, from net
sales of $259.2 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily
a result of lower average sales prices due to the pass through of lower resin
costs, partially offset by higher unit volume.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was 87.5 percent of consolidated net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of 0.3 percentage
points as compared to 87.8 percent for the same period in 2001. The increase in
gross margin was primarily attributable to an improved product mix and increased
productivity of the plastic container business and the elimination of goodwill
amortization, partially offset by a less favorable sales mix, higher
depreciation expense and costs incurred to absorb new volume awarded in the
metal food container business.



-23-




Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $38.3 million, or 4.4 percent of consolidated net
sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $38.0 million, or
4.3 percent, for the same period in 2001. Higher selling, general and
administrative expenses in the plastic container business were largely offset by
the impact of contributing the metal closure business to the White Cap joint
venture and lower selling, general and administrative expenses in the metal food
container business.

Income from Operations. Excluding rationalization credits and charges in both
periods, income from operations for the first six months of 2002 increased $1.5
million, or 2.1 percent, to $71.6 million, as compared to $70.1 million in the
same period in 2001. This increase was primarily a result of higher sales and
income from operations in the metal food container business, higher income from
operations in the plastic container business and the elimination of goodwill
amortization, partially offset by the impact of contributing the metal closure
business to White Cap. Excluding rationalization credits and charges in both
periods and income from operations of the metal closure business which was
contributed to the White Cap joint venture in 2001, income from operations for
the first six months of 2002 increased by $4.8 million, or 7.2 percent, as
compared to the same period in 2001. Excluding rationalization credits and
charges, operating margin for the first six months of 2002 improved 0.2
percentage points to 8.1 percent, as compared to 7.9 percent for the same period
in 2001. This increase in operating margin was primarily the result of higher
margins in the plastic container business. Including the effects of
rationalization credits and charges, income from operations for the first six
months of 2002 increased $7.3 million, or 11.0 percent, to $73.9 million, as
compared to $66.6 million in the same period in 2001.

In the first quarter of 2002, we recorded a rationalization credit of $2.3
million primarily relating to certain assets of our metal food container
business previously written down that were placed back in service. In the first
quarter of 2001, we recorded a rationalization charge of $3.5 million relating
to closing a plastic container manufacturing facility.

Excluding the rationalization credit in 2002, income from operations of the
metal food container business in the first six months of 2002 increased $3.5
million, or 8.9 percent, to $42.7 million as compared to $39.2 million for the
first six months of 2001, and operating margin increased 0.1 percentage points
to 6.8 percent as compared to 6.7 percent for the same period in 2001. Income
from operations of the metal food container business for the first six months of
2001 included $1.2 million of goodwill amortization. The increase in income from
operations and operating margin was principally due to higher sales and the
elimination of goodwill amortization, partially offset by a less favorable sales
mix, higher depreciation expense and costs incurred to absorb new volume
awarded. Including the rationalization credit, income from operations of the
metal food container business was $45.0 million and operating margin was 7.2
percent for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Excluding the rationalization charge in 2001, income from operations for the
plastic container business for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1.9
million, or 6.4 percent, to $31.6 million as compared to $29.7 million for the
same period in 2001, and operating margin increased 1.0 percentage points to
12.5 percent as compared to 11.5 percent for the first six months of 2001.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first six
months of 2001 included $1.3 million of goodwill amortization. The increase in
income from operations and operating margin was primarily a result of an
improved sales mix, increased productivity and the elimination of goodwill
amortization. Including the effect of the rationalization charge, income from
operations and operating margin for the plastic container business were $26.2
million and 10.1 percent, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2001.



-24-




Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $9.2 million to $34.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The
decrease in interest expense was a result of lower interest rates and
approximately $100 million in lower average borrowings as compared to the same
period last year.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 was recorded at an effective annual income tax rate of 39.0
percent and 40.2 percent, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate
was largely due to the discontinuation of goodwill amortization that was
non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Net Income and Earnings per Share. Net income for the first six months of 2002
was $21.4 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $9.7
million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2001. Net
income for the first six months of 2002 included our portion of the
rationalization charge of White Cap of $2.0 million, net of tax, or $0.11 per
diluted share, and our portion of the gain on the sale of assets by White Cap of
$0.7 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share. Net income for the first
six months of 2002 also included a rationalization credit of $2.3 million, or
$0.07 per diluted share, and an extraordinary charge, net of tax, of $0.6
million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Net income for the first six months of 2001
included equity in losses of Packtion of $3.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted
share, and a rationalization charge of $3.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

Excluding both our portion of the rationalization charge and the gain on the
sale of assets recorded by White Cap and the rationalization credit and
extraordinary charge in 2002, earnings for the first six months of 2002 were
$21.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share. Excluding the rationalization charge
and equity in losses of Packtion, earnings were $15.6 million, or $0.86 per
diluted share, for the first six months of 2001.

SFAS No. 142 required us to eliminate the amortization of goodwill effective
January 1, 2002. However, if we continued to amortize goodwill during the first
six months of 2002, we would have recorded additional expense of approximately
$2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating activities
and borrowings under our revolving loan facilities. Our liquidity requirements
arise primarily from our obligations under the indebtedness incurred in
connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that indebtedness,
capital investment in new and existing equipment and the funding of our seasonal
working capital needs.

On April 29, 2002, we issued an additional $200 million aggregate principal
amount of our 9% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2009, or the 9% Debentures,
in a private placement. The newly issued 9% Debentures were an add-on issuance
under the Indenture for our existing 9% Debentures originally issued in June
1997. The terms of the newly issued 9% Debentures are identical to the existing
9% Debentures issued in June 1997 except that the newly issued 9% Debentures are
subject to certain transfer restrictions until we complete a registered exchange
offer.

The issue price for the newly issued 9% Debentures was 103.0 percent of their
principal amount. Net cash proceeds received from this issuance were
approximately $202 million, after deducting selling commissions and offering
expenses payable by us. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay a
portion of our revolving loan obligations under our previous U.S. senior secured
credit facility, or the U.S. Credit Agreement.





-25-



On June 28, 2002, we completed the refinancing of our U.S. Credit Agreement by
entering into a new $850 million senior secured credit facility, or the New
Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement provides us with $100 million of A
term loans, $350 million of B term loans and a revolving loan facility of up to
$400 million. Under the New Credit Agreement, we may use revolving loans for
working capital and other operating needs as well as for acquisitions and other
permitted purposes. The A term loans and revolving loan facility mature on June
28, 2008 and the B term loans mature on November 30, 2008. The New Credit
Agreement also provides us with an incremental uncommitted term loan facility of
up to an additional $275 million which may be used to finance acquisitions and
for other permitted purposes.

Under the New Credit Agreement, the interest rate for all loans will be either
the Eurodollar rate plus a margin or the prime lending rate of Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas plus a margin. Initially, the margin for the Eurodollar
rate loans will be two percent and the margin for prime rate loans will be one
percent. Starting in 2003, the margins are subject to adjustment quarterly based
upon financial ratios. Prior to the refinancing, the interest rate for A term
loans and revolving loans under our U.S. Credit Agreement was the Eurodollar
rate plus a margin of one percent or the prime lending rate of Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, and for B term loans an additional 0.5 percent.

As a result of the refinancing of our U.S. Credit Agreement with the New Credit
Agreement and the net proceeds from the add-on issuance of our 9% Debentures, we
expect that our interest expense will increase during the second half of 2002 as
compared to the second half of 2001.

For the first six months of 2002, we used excess proceeds of $174.7 million from
the issuance of the 9% Debentures and the refinancing of the U.S. Credit
Agreement, cash balances of $4.7 million and proceeds from stock option
issuances of $4.1 million to fund cash used in operations of $112.2 million
primarily for our seasonal working capital needs, net capital expenditures of
$48.7 million, debt issuance costs of $21.1 million and other repayments of
long-term debt of $1.5 million.

For the first six months of 2001, we used net borrowings of revolving loans of
$173.1 million under the U.S. Credit Agreement, cash proceeds from White Cap of
$32.4 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.3 million to fund
cash used by operations of $123.9 million primarily for our seasonal working
capital needs, net capital expenditures of $46.4 million, the repayment of $3.2
million of long-term debt and our investment in Packtion of $3.0 million and to
increase cash balances by $29.1 million.

Because we sell metal containers used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we
have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must access working
capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers
beyond the end of the summer and fall packing season. Seasonal accounts are
generally settled by year end. Due to our seasonal requirements, we incur
short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements.

For 2002, we estimate that we will utilize approximately $190-$200 million of
revolving loans under our senior secured credit facilities for our month-end
peak seasonal working capital requirements. We may use the available portion of
our revolving loan facilities, after taking into account our seasonal needs and
outstanding letters of credit, for acquisitions and other permitted purposes.

As of June 30, 2002, we had $157.7 million of revolving loans outstanding under
the New Credit Agreement which related primarily to seasonal working capital
needs. The unused portion of revolving loan commitments under our credit
agreements at June 30, 2002, after taking into account outstanding letters of
credit, was $229.5 million.


-26-




Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $70 million of our
Common Stock. As of June 30, 2002, we have repurchased 2,708,975 shares of our
Common Stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $61.0 million. We intend to
finance future repurchases, if any, of our Common Stock with revolving loan
borrowings.

During the first quarter of 2002, certain assets of our metal food container
business with carrying values that were previously written down were placed back
in service. As a result, we recorded a $2.3 million rationalization credit in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and recorded those assets in
our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their depreciated cost, which
approximated fair value. During the first quarter of 2001, we recorded a
rationalization charge of $3.5 million relating to closing one plastic container
manufacturing facility. You should also read Note 3 to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from the revolving
loans available under our senior secured credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service
and tax obligations for the foreseeable future. We are also continually
evaluating and pursuing acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods
packaging market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness
under our senior secured credit facilities, to finance any such acquisition.

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in the
instruments and agreements governing our indebtedness and believe that we will
continue to be in compliance with all such covenants during 2002.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 revises the
accounting treatment for business combinations to require the use of purchase
accounting and prohibit the use of the pooling-of-interests method for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 revises the accounting
for goodwill to eliminate amortization of goodwill on transactions consummated
after June 30, 2001 and of all other goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS
No. 142 also requires goodwill and other intangibles to be assessed for
impairment each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible
impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that an initial transitional impairment test
be performed within six months of the date of adoption. During the second
quarter of 2002, we completed the initial impairment test as of January 1, 2002,
and no impairment was noted.

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 provides updated guidance
concerning the recognition and measurement of an impairment loss for certain
types of long-lived assets and expands the scope of a discontinued operation to
include a component of an entity. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1,
2002 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.



-27-




In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt," and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishment of Debt Made to
Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 44 and
amends SFAS No. 13 and other existing authoritative pronouncements to make
various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability
under changed conditions. In accordance with SFAS No. 145, certain gains or
losses on extinguishment of debt that were classified as extraordinary items in
prior periods are required to be reclassified. The provisions of SFAS No. 145
related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 and SFAS No. 64 are effective for us on
January 1, 2003, and all other provisions are effective for transactions
occurring after May 15, 2002. We are currently evaluating the impact of this
standard.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is
incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized
at the date an entity committed to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146
are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002.

CERTIFICATIONS UNDER SECTION 906 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

The written certifications of both of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and of our
Chief Financial Officer with respect to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
---------------------------------------------------------

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates. In the normal course of business, we also have limited foreign
currency risk associated with our Canadian operations and risk related to
commodity price changes for items such as natural gas. We employ established
policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks. Interest rate,
foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are used only to the extent
considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not utilize derivative
financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate
risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Since such filing, there has
not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency rate risk
or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and procedures to manage our
exposure to these risks, except that we have entered into additional interest
rate swap agreements. You should also read Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
