GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) of Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), a Delaware corporation (formerly known as BMP/Graham Holdings Corporation), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements. All entities and assets owned by GPC are referred to collectively with GPC as the “Company.” Graham Packaging Holdings Company, a subsidiary which is 96.2% owned by GPC and for which GPC holds 100% of the general partnership interest, is referred to as “Holdings.” Graham Packaging Company, L.P., Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, is referred to as the “Operating Company.” In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of usual recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation) are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of December 31, 2010, is derived from audited financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements, particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have on its financial statements, but does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have on its financial statements, but does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact.

Management has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, or do not apply to the Company’s operations.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company attributes earnings and losses of Holdings to the noncontrolling interests of Holdings based on the noncontrolling interests’ relative unit ownership percentages. Accumulated income attributable to the noncontrolling interests is included in a separate component of equity (deficit).

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were available to be issued, which the Company considers to be the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Acquisition

Purchase of Liquid Entities

On September 23, 2010, the Company acquired the Liquid Entities (as defined below) from each of the limited partners (the “Liquid Limited Partners”) of Liquid Container L.P. (currently known as “Graham Packaging LC, L.P.”) (“Liquid L.P.”) and each of the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of (i) Liquid Container Inc. (“Liquid”), a Delaware corporation, (ii) CPG-L Holdings, Inc. (“CPG”), a Delaware corporation, and (iii) WCK-L Holdings, Inc. (“WCK” and, together with Liquid and CPG, the “Liquid General Partners”), a Delaware corporation. Liquid L.P. and the Liquid General Partners are collectively referred to as the “Liquid Entities.” The Company purchased all the shares from the Stockholders and all of the limited partnership units from the Liquid Limited Partners (collectively, the “Liquid Acquisition”) for approximately $564.3 million, subject to a potential working capital adjustment.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of the acquired operation are included in the financial statements of the Company beginning on September 23, 2010. The Liquid Entities, which employ approximately 1,000 employees, have operations in 13 plants located across the United States.

The Liquid Entities are custom blow molded plastic container manufacturers based in West Chicago, Illinois, that primarily service food and household product categories. In the food product category, the Liquid Entities produce packaging for peanut butter, mayonnaise, coffee, creamer, cooking oil, nuts, instant drink mixes and other food items. The household product category consists of containers for bleach, laundry detergent, spray cleaners, automotive cleaning products, drain cleaners and other consumer-based household products. The Liquid Entities utilize high density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene resins to manufacture their containers.

The Liquid Acquisition represents a strategically important acquisition for the Company as it expanded the Company’s customer reach within its existing food and consumer products end markets while providing it with additional technological capabilities and an expansion of its geographical reach. The Liquid Acquisition significantly increased the size and scope of the Company’s operations, particularly in the food product category, and provides the Company with considerable opportunities to convert new products to plastic containers. The Liquid Entities have been a leader in custom blow molded plastic containers used in cold-fill applications and have new hot-fill technologies, which complement the Company’s technologies, and which management believes can help drive new conversions. The Liquid Entities have a similar financial profile to that of the Company, as they use technology to serve their customer base with innovative and cost effective packaging solutions. Management believes the combined purchasing power can yield savings in freight, energy, outside services, leased equipment and miscellaneous raw materials such as packaging, pallets, shrink wrap and spare parts. Additionally, management has eliminated overlapping corporate functions and expenses.

The initial purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending a final determination of the purchase price and a final valuation of the assets and liabilities, including a final valuation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and the impact on taxes of any adjustments to such valuations, all necessary to account for the acquisition in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations.” For purposes of allocating the total purchase price, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. The initial allocated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and subsequent adjustments, are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	As Originally Presented		Cumulative Adjustments			Adjusted Balance
Cash	$	1,184	$	—		$	1,184
Accounts receivable		36,858		(144	)		36,714
Inventories		35,029		136			35,165
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		1,247		40			1,287

Total current assets		74,318		32			74,350
Property, plant and equipment		193,186		(11,303	)		181,883
Intangible assets		156,500		(600	)		155,900
Goodwill		201,437		14,140			215,577

Total assets acquired		625,441		2,269			627,710
Less liabilities assumed		61,140		2,269			63,409

Net cost of acquisition	$	564,301	$	—		$	564,301

GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—continued

The adjustments set forth above include an adjustment to goodwill of approximately $6.5 million and $12.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, related primarily to adjustments to fixed assets and the recognition of deferred revenue. The adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and in the aggregate since the acquisition, did not materially impact previously reported results of operations or cash flows. As a result, prior period financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted.

The allocation set forth above is based on management’s estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches. The amount allocated to intangible assets represents the estimated fair values of technologies of $58.2 million, customer relationships of $89.7 million, trade names of $5.0 million and non-compete agreement of $3.0 million. These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over weighted-average estimated remaining lives of 11 years, 14 years, 3 years and 2 years for technologies, customer relationships, trade names and non-compete agreement, respectively, reflecting the expected future benefit periods of these intangible assets. Goodwill of $280.3 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquired property, plant and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis with estimated remaining lives up to 20 years. The initial purchase price allocations set forth above are based on all information available to the Company at the present time and are subject to change due to additional working capital adjustments and finalization of fair value calculations, and such changes could be material. The goodwill for the Liquid Entities is disclosed within the North American segment in Note 17.

The purchase agreement related to the Liquid Entities contains a stated purchase price of $568.0 million, plus cash on hand, minus certain indebtedness, resulting in a payment by the Company of $564.3 million on September 23, 2010, subject to a potential working capital adjustment. Included in this amount was a payment of $208.2 million to satisfy existing indebtedness of the Liquid Entities, including accrued interest, then outstanding. The Company and the sellers are in the process of finalizing the working capital adjustment and this adjustment could be material.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred legal, professional and advisory costs directly related to the acquisition totaling $0.3 million. All such costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Deferred financing fees incurred in connection with issuing debt related to the acquisition totaled $13.8 million and are reflected in other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of June 30, 2011.

Net sales of the Liquid Entities included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations totaled $201.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The following table sets forth unaudited pro forma results of operations, assuming that the above acquisition had taken place at January 1, 2010:

GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—continued

These unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as additional depreciation and amortization expense as a result of a step-up in the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets, increased interest expense on acquisition debt and related tax effects. They do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the combination been in effect at January 1, 2010, or of future results of operations of the entity.

3. Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.8 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral.

9. Asset Impairment Charges

The Company continually reviews its assets for indicators of possible impairment. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company identified indicators of possible impairment of certain assets in Belgium, Brazil, France, Mexico, Poland, Spain and the United States, and in the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company identified indicators of possible impairment of certain assets in Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States. As a result, the Company evaluated the recoverability of these assets and determined that the undiscounted future cash flows were below the carrying value of these long-lived assets. Additionally, management had no plans to redeploy the majority of these assets. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying value of these long-lived assets to their estimated fair value in accordance with the guidance under ASC 360-10-35-15, “Subsequent Measurement—Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” resulting in impairment charges being recorded of $1.4 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Total	$	2,790,984	$	2,798,824

As of June 30, 2011, the credit agreement, as amended, consisted of a senior secured term loan of $1,016.4 million ($1,027.6 million aggregate outstanding principal amount less $11.2 million unamortized discount) due April 5, 2014 (“Term Loan C”) and a senior secured term loan of $910.1 million ($906.2 million aggregate outstanding principal amount plus $3.9 million unamortized premium) (“Term Loan D” and, together with the Term Loan C, the “Term Loans”), to the Operating Company and GPC Capital Corp. I (“CapCo I”), and a $124.8 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver” and, together with the Term Loans, the “Credit Agreement”) that will expire on October 1, 2013, and with availability of $109.1 million (as reduced by $15.7 million of outstanding letters of credit). The Term Loan D will mature on the earliest of (i) September 23, 2016, (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s 8.25% senior notes due January 2017 if such senior notes have not been repaid or refinanced in full by such date or (iii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s 9.875% senior subordinated notes due October 2014 if such senior notes have not been repaid or refinanced in full by such date. The obligations of the Operating Company and CapCo I under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Operating Company. The Term Loans are payable in quarterly installments and require payments of $9.8 million in the remainder of 2011, $19.6 million in 2012, $19.7 million in 2013, $1,010.5 million in 2014, $9.1 million in 2015 and $865.1 million thereafter (disregarding any further mandatory or voluntary prepayments that may reduce such scheduled amortization payments).

Interest under the Credit Agreement is payable at (a) the “Adjusted Alternate Base Rate” (the higher of (x) the Prime Rate plus a margin of 3.25%; (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus a margin of 3.75%; or (z) the one-month Eurodollar Rate, subject to a floor of 2.50% for the Term Loan C and Revolver and 1.75% for the Term Loan D, plus a margin of 4.25%); or (b) the Eurodollar Rate, subject to a floor of 2.50% for the Term Loan C and Revolver and 1.75% for the Term Loan D, plus a margin of 4.25%. A commitment fee of 0.75% is due on the unused portion of the Revolver.

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants as to the operations and financial condition of the Company, as well as certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions by the Operating Company to Holdings. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—continued

Substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of the Company are pledged as collateral pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes due 2018”), $253.4 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (“Senior Notes due 2017” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2018, the “Senior Notes”) and $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2014 (“Senior Subordinated Notes” and, together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”) co-issued by the Operating Company and CapCo I. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Operating Company and mature on October 7, 2014 (Senior Subordinated Notes), January 1, 2017 (Senior Notes due 2017), and October 1, 2018 (Senior Notes due 2018). Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually at 9.875% per annum and interest on the Senior Notes due 2017 and the Senior Notes due 2018 is payable semi-annually at 8.25% per annum.

In the event that a party acquires beneficial ownership representing voting power in Holdings greater than the voting power represented by the interests beneficially owned by Blackstone (as defined herein) through shares of the Company’s common stock, such as the contemplated merger of the Company with a subsidiary of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (as further described in Note 24), an event of default under the Credit Agreement will be triggered. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will not be required to lend any additional amounts or could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable, which could result in an event of default under the Company’s other debt instruments. If the Company were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the Credit Agreement could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. The Company has pledged a significant portion of its assets as collateral under the Credit Agreement. If the lenders under the Credit Agreement accelerate the repayment of borrowings, the Company may not have sufficient assets to repay the Credit Agreement and the Company’s other indebtedness or be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if the Company is able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to the Company.

Under the indentures governing the Notes, upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, such as the contemplated merger of the Company with a subsidiary of Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (as further described in Note 24), the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless such Notes have been previously called for redemption. As further described in Note 25, on July 7, 2011, the Company commenced tender offers for any and all of the Notes and solicited consents of holders of each series of Notes to make certain amendments to the indentures governing the Notes, including with respect to the requirement to make a change of control offer for the Notes. On July 19, 2011, the Company announced that it had received the requisite consents from holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes to adopt the proposed amendments and accordingly, if the Merger (as defined herein) is completed, the Company will not be required to offer to repurchase the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes as a result of the Merger; however, the Company has not received the requisite consents for the Senior Notes and therefore would be required to make a change of control offer for the Senior Notes upon the completion of the Merger, which would be funded by Reynolds Group Holdings Limited. The issuers’ failure to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control would cause a default under the applicable indenture and a cross default under the senior secured credit facilities and the other indentures.

12. Fair Value Measurement

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts.

Long-Term Debt

The Company’s long-term debt consists of both variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were based on market price information. The Company’s variable-rate debt, including the Company’s Credit Agreement, totaled $1,940.8 million (net of $7.3 million unamortized net discount) and $1,951.3 million (net of $8.9 million unamortized net discount) at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of this long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $1,954.1 million and $1,977.1 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company’s fixed-rate debt, including $253.4 million of Senior Notes due 2017, $250.0 million of Senior Notes due 2018 and $375.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes, totaled $881.8 million (net of $2.6 million unamortized discount) and $881.5 million (net of $2.9 million unamortized discount) at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of this long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $951.1 million and $915.1 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Derivatives

The Company established the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, in accordance with the guidance under ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”:

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Inputs include the following:

Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities.

Quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Inputs that are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011, by level within the fair value hierarchy:


	Fair Value Measurements Using

Foreign currency exchange contracts		—		9		—

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the derivatives and therefore considered level 2 inputs.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has real estate located in Edison, New Jersey that is held for sale. The aggregate carrying value of these assets at June 30, 2011, was $6.6 million, which is less than the fair value of these assets and therefore resulted in no impairment charge for these assets. The determination of fair value included certain unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s assumptions regarding how market participants would price these assets in the marketplace, and therefore are considered level 3 inputs. The fair value of this real estate was based on offers received from potential buyers.

The Company recorded impairment charges of $1.4 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, for long-lived assets in Belgium, Brazil, France, Mexico, Poland, Spain and the United States whose carrying values exceeded fair values. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.6 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, for long-lived assets in Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States whose carrying values exceeded fair values. Fair values for these assets were based on projected future cash flows, discounted using either a risk-free rate or a risk-adjusted rate, which the Company considers level 3 inputs.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s business and activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including risks related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its market risk management program. This program recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that market volatility could have on operating results. As part of its market risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to protect cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognized in current earnings.

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding for the purchase of pound sterling, euros and zloty in an aggregate amount of $3.8 million and pound sterling and U.S. dollars in an aggregate amount of $2.2 million, respectively. These foreign currency exchange contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges and are highly effective as defined by ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

The maximum term over which the Company is hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows (for all forecasted transactions, excluding interest payments on variable-rate debt) is 12 months.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company elected to roll over its senior secured term loan in one-month increments to reduce its cash interest, as opposed to continuing to roll over its senior secured term loan in three-

month increments to match the terms of its interest rate collar agreements. The Company had therefore discontinued hedge accounting for its interest rate collar and swap agreements. The amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of that date was being recognized as interest expense over the period in which the previously hedged activity continued to occur. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate collar and swap agreements from that date were also being recognized as interest expense. As a result of the refinancing of the Credit Agreement that enabled the Company to purchase the Liquid Entities on September 23, 2010, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial instruments are not held by the Company for trading purposes.

14. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 740-10-30, “Establishment of a Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets,” the Company assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets based on an evaluation of positive and negative evidence of future taxable income. In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions. The Company considers, among other things, the nature and amount of deferred tax liabilities, historical earnings and losses, expected taxable income and current and future tax planning strategies. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the valuation allowance increased by $17.4 million primarily as a result of increases to deferred tax assets related to fair value adjustments to the tax basis of property in the Company’s partnership investment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate for corporations primarily due to significant nondeductible expenses related to the income tax receivable agreements (as further discussed in Note 15) and the proposed merger, certain foreign earnings subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions and increases in deferred tax liabilities associated primarily with tax amortization of goodwill.

The Company had $58.1 million of Unrecognized Tax Benefits (“UTB”), exclusive of interest and penalties, as of June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a net increase in UTB of $1.2 million, exclusive of interest and penalties. At June 30, 2011, the Company had long-term deferred income tax assets of $14.5 million that offset the UTB. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had recorded additional UTB of $5.2 million related to interest and penalties. The Company does not expect a significant change in the UTB balance in the next twelve months. Approximately $3.7 million of UTB at June 30, 2011, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

15. Commitments

The Company is a party to various capital and operating leases involving real property and equipment. Total rent expense for operating leases was $14.1 million and $28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $11.8 million and $24.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Under the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Amended and Restated Monitoring Agreement (the “Monitoring Agreement”), the Company was obligated to make annual payments of $2.0 million and $3.0 million to affiliates of the Graham Family (defined as Graham Capital Company, GPC Investments, LLC and Graham Alternative Investment Partners I, LP or affiliates thereof or other entities controlled by Donald C. Graham and his family) and Blackstone (defined as Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Banking Fund L.P., Blackstone Offshore Capital Partners III L.P. and Blackstone Family Investment Partnership III L.P. or affiliates thereof), respectively. The Company has terminated the Monitoring Agreement and is no longer obligated to make payments under the Monitoring Agreement. As a result, as of February 10, 2010, the Company is only obligated to make annual payments of $1.0 million to affiliates of the Graham Family for ongoing management and advisory services under the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. See Note 19 for further discussion of the Company’s obligations under these agreements.

In connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”), on February 10, 2010, GPC entered into separate Income Tax Receivable Agreements (“ITRs”) with its pre-IPO stockholders (e.g. Blackstone, management and other stockholders) and with GPC Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of the Graham Family. The agreements provide for the payment by GPC of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that is actually realized (or is deemed to be realized in the case of an early termination or change in control as further described in the ITRs) as a result of the utilization of net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the IPO, and

any increase to the tax basis of the assets of the Company related to (1) the 1998 acquisition of Holdings and (2) current and future exchanges by the Graham Family of their limited partnership units for common stock of GPC pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and of certain other tax benefits related to GPC’s entering into the ITRs, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the ITRs. Payments under the ITRs are not conditioned upon these parties’ continued ownership of the Company or Holdings.

Excluding the potential impact of the Merger (as defined herein) discussed in Note 24, the Company expects that future payments under the ITRs will aggregate to between $200.0 million and $235.0 million. This range includes payments under the ITRs resulting from the Graham Family’s exchange of 4,930,663 limited partnership units through June 30, 2011. Additional payments under the ITRs for tax basis step-ups relating to future exchanges by the Graham Family of their remaining 2,657,358 limited partnership units in Holdings for GPC common stock is dependent upon the timing and value of such exchanges, and is not reflected in the above range. This range is based on the Company’s assumptions considering various inputs, including valuation analysis and historical tax basis amounts. The Company will recognize obligations based on the amount of recorded net deferred income tax assets recognized at each balance sheet date, and subject to the ITRs. Changes in the recorded net deferred income tax assets that are subject to the ITRs obligations will result in changes in the ITRs obligations, and such changes will be recorded as other income or expense. As of June 30, 2011, the value of the ITRs obligations was $24.0 million. Because GPC is a holding company with no operations of its own, its ability to make payments under the ITRs is dependent on Holdings’ ability to make distributions. Upon the effective date of the respective ITRs, the Company recorded an initial obligation of $6.5 million, which was recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The Company recorded $8.0 million and $3.6 million in non-operating expense related to the increase in the ITRs obligations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $12.6 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No payments have been made under the ITRs since their inception. At the closing of the Merger, the surviving corporation will be required to make a cash payment of $245 million to GPC’s pre-IPO stockholders (e.g. Blackstone, management and other stockholders) and the Graham Family pursuant to change in control provisions in the ITRs.

16. Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

On November 3, 2006, the Company filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Owens-Illinois, Inc. and OI Plastic Products FTS, Inc. (collectively, “OI”). The complaint alleges certain misrepresentations by OI in connection with the Company’s 2004 purchase of the blow molded plastic container business of Owens-Illinois, Inc. and seeks damages in excess of $30 million. In December 2006, OI filed an Answer and Counterclaim, seeking to rescind a Settlement Agreement entered into between OI and the Company in April 2005, and disgorgement of more than $39 million paid by OI to the Company in compliance with that Settlement Agreement. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Counterclaim in July 2007, which was granted by the Court in October 2007. On August 1, 2007, the Company filed an Amended Complaint to add additional claims seeking indemnification from OI for claims made against the Company by former OI employees pertaining to their pension benefits. These claims arise from an arbitration between the Company and Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastic & Allied Workers, Local #171 (the “Union”) that resulted in an award on April 23, 2007, in favor of the Union. The Arbitrator ruled that the Company had failed to honor certain pension obligations for past years of service to former employees of OI, whose seven Union-represented plants were acquired by the Company in October 2004. In the Amended Complaint, the Company maintains that under Section 8.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and OI, OI is obligated to indemnify the Company for any losses associated with differences in the two companies’ pension plans including any losses incurred in connection with the Arbitration award. The litigation is proceeding.

The Company is aware of two lawsuits relating to the merger agreement with Silgan Holdings Inc. (“Silgan”), which have been consolidated and the plaintiffs are now seeking to amend their complaints to challenge the merger agreement with Reynolds (as defined herein).

GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—continued

On April 25, 2011, James Gipson, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania against the Company, its directors and Silgan challenging the proposed merger between Silgan and the Company. On June 1, 2011, Phyllis Sciborowski, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a purported class action and derivative lawsuit relating to the merger agreement with Silgan in the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania against the Company, its directors and Silgan. On July 21, 2011, the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania consolidated the Gipson and Sciborowski lawsuits. On August 2, 2011, the plaintiffs moved for leave to file an amended complaint. The proposed amended complaint asserts claims against the Company, its directors, Silgan, Reynolds and Bucephalas Acquisition Corp. The proposed amended complaint alleges that the directors of the Company have breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders by, among other things (i) failing to fully inform themselves of the Company’s market value; (ii) failing to act in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders; (iii) failing to maximize stockholder value; and (iv) failing to act in accordance with their duties of good faith, due care, and loyalty. The proposed amended complaint also alleges that the Company’s information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) contains material omissions. The proposed amended complaint alleges that Silgan, Reynolds and Bucephalas Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted the Company’s directors’ alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The proposed amended complaint also alleges that Silgan was unjustly enriched by the Company’s payment of a termination fee to Silgan. The proposed amended complaint seeks (i) a declaration that the merger agreement with Reynolds is a breach of fiduciary duties and thus unenforceable; (ii) injunctive relief to prevent the defendants from consummating the merger between the Company and Reynolds unless and until the Company adopts and implements a procedure or process to obtain a merger agreement providing the best available terms for the Company’s stockholders and provides all material disclosures to the Company’s stockholders; (iii) recission, to the extent already implemented, of the terms of the merger agreement with Reynolds; (iv) disgorgement from the defendants of, and a constructive trust over, the termination fee paid to Silgan, as well as legal, accounting, and other professional fees paid in connection with the Silgan merger agreement; and (v) the costs and disbursements of the purported class and derivative action, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.

The Company is a party to various other litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company with respect to such litigation cannot be estimated with certainty, but management believes, based on its examination of these matters, experience to date and discussions with counsel, that ultimate liability from the Company’s various litigation matters will not be material to the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

17. Segment Information

The Company is organized and managed on a geographical basis in four operating segments: North America, Europe, South America and Asia. The Company began accounting for its new Asian operations as a new operating segment as of July 1, 2010, with the acquisition of China Roots Packaging PTE Ltd. Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, representing the reportable segments currently utilized by the chief operating decision makers, was as follows:

The Company’s net sales for North America include sales in Mexico which totaled $56.9 million and $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $103.3 million and $86.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Identifiable assets in Mexico totaled $77.3 million and $70.6 million as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Substantially all of the North America reportable segment’s remaining net sales and identifiable assets are in the United States.

(d)

Beginning January 1, 2010, Venezuela’s economy is considered to be highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its Venezuelan operations. All bolivar-denominated transactions, as well as monetary assets and liabilities, are remeasured into U.S. dollars. As a result of the application of hyper-inflationary accounting requiring the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities, the Company recorded a $2.5 million loss in other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net sales for Venezuela were $1.8 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and net assets for Venezuela were less than 1.5% of the Company’s total net assets as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. As the Venezuelan operations are not significant to the overall operations of the Company, future rate changes in the bolivar would not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company recognized $2.4 million and $1.9 million of expense for its 401(k) plans in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $5.1 million and $3.7 million of expense for its 401(k) plans in the first halves of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

19. Transactions with Related Parties

The Company had transactions with entities affiliated through common ownership. The Company made payments to Graham Engineering Corporation, which is owned by the Graham Family, for equipment and related services of $1.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Affiliates of both the Graham Family and Blackstone have supplied management and advisory services to Holdings since 1998. The Company has recorded $0.3 million and $0.3 million of expense for these services for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Under the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Monitoring Agreement, Holdings was obligated to make annual payments of $2.0 million and $3.0 million to affiliates of the Graham Family and Blackstone, respectively. In exchange for a one-time payment of $26.3 million to Blackstone Management Partners III L.L.C. and $8.8 million to Graham Alternative Investment Partners I, LP, the parties of the Monitoring Agreement agreed to terminate such agreement in the first quarter of 2010. These amounts paid to terminate the Monitoring Agreement are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As a result of the termination, Blackstone, the Graham Family and their affiliates have no further obligation to provide monitoring services to Holdings, and Holdings has no further obligation to make annual payments of $4.0 million, under the Monitoring Agreement. As a result, as of February 10, 2010, the Company is only obligated to make annual payments of $1.0 million to affiliates of the Graham Family for ongoing management and advisory services under the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, until such time that the Graham Family sells more than two thirds of its original investment owned on February 2, 1998 (or common stock for which such partnership interests have been or are eligible to be exchanged), and such services would then cease.

On behalf of Blackstone, the Company made payments to a former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Company on January 5, 2007, for the repurchase of all of their outstanding shares of GPC, pursuant to separation agreements dated as of December 3, 2006. Additionally, on behalf of Blackstone, the Company made a payment to a former Senior Vice President of the Operating Company on April 10, 2009, for the repurchase of all of his outstanding shares of GPC. As a result of these payments, Blackstone became the owner of these shares and owes the Company $5.0 million and $4.8 million as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively, including accrued interest. This receivable is reflected in equity (deficit) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

As discussed in Note 15, in connection with the IPO, on February 10, 2010, GPC entered into separate ITRs with its pre-IPO stockholders (e.g. Blackstone, management and other stockholders) and with GPC Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of the Graham Family. The agreements provide for the payment by GPC of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that is actually realized (or is deemed to be realized in the case of an early termination or change in control as further described in the ITRs) as a result of the utilization of net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the IPO, and any increase to the tax basis of the assets of the Company related to (1) the 1998 acquisition of Holdings and (2) current and future exchanges by the Graham Family of their limited partnership units for common stock of GPC pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and of certain other tax benefits related to GPC’s entering into the ITRs, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the ITRs.

Gary G. Michael, a member of GPC’s Board of Directors and a member of the former committee that advised Holdings and its partners, also serves on the Board of Directors of The Clorox Company, which is a large customer of the Company. Included in current assets at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, were receivables from The Clorox Company of $4.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Included in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were net sales to The Clorox Company of $18.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were $35.9 million and $24.0 million, respectively.

Pinnacle Foods, which is owned by Blackstone, is a customer of the Company. Included in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were net sales to Pinnacle Foods of $3.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were $7.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

20. Environmental Matters

As a result of the Company closing its plant located in Edison, New Jersey, the Company is subject to New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (“ISRA”). The Company acquired this facility from Owens-Illinois, Inc. in 2004. ISRA is an environmental law that specifies a process of reporting to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) and, in some situations, investigating, cleaning up and/or taking other measures with respect to environmental conditions that may exist at an industrial establishment that has been shut down or is being transferred. The Company is in the process of implementing its obligations under ISRA regarding this facility. The Company has recorded a preliminary reserve in 2010 of $0.4 million for this obligation and has recorded no additional expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This amount may change based on results of additional investigation expected to be undertaken for NJDEP, however, the Company does not believe that such changes will have a significant impact on the results of operations.

21. Earnings Per Share

(1)	The allocation of earnings is based on the noncontrolling interests’ relative ownership percentage.

(2)

Holdings adjustment is based on incremental earnings that would be attributable to those potentially dilutive options to purchase partnership units on an “as-if converted” basis. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 2,255,297, 722,112, 2,255,297 and 722,112 potential options to purchase partnership units, respectively, have been excluded as the options are either antidilutive or as a result of the related contingency not being met as of the reporting dates. Regarding the contingency, options that contain a contingency are those which vest and become exercisable upon the attainment of certain financial performance goals associated with a sale by Blackstone of 75% of its original ownership interest in the Company.

(3)

In conjunction with the IPO, and as further discussed in Note 22, the Graham Family entered into an Exchange Agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 2,692,525, 6,298,288, 2,692,525 and 6,298,288 of exchange rights, respectively, were excluded from diluted (loss) earnings per share as the effects were anti-dilutive.

(4)	For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 848,572, 803,088, 848,572 and 803,088 potential options to purchase GPC common stock, respectively, were excluded from diluted (loss) earnings per share as the effects were anti-dilutive.

22. Capital Stock and Changes in Equity (Deficit)

On February 10, 2010, the Company completed its IPO and on February 11, 2010, its stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GRM.” In connection with the IPO, the Company, on February 4, 2010, increased the number of authorized shares of $0.01 par value common stock to 500,000,000 and of $0.01 par value preferred stock to 100,000,000, and effected a 1,465.4874-for-one stock split of its shares of common stock. On February 10, 2010, and in connection with the IPO, the Company issued 16,666,667 of its registered common stock at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, less underwriters discount and expenses.

Additionally, as part of the IPO, the Graham Family entered into an Exchange Agreement. Under the Exchange Agreement, the Graham Family and certain permitted transferees may, subject to specific terms, exchange their limited partnership units in Holdings for shares of the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. Under this Exchange Agreement, entities controlled by the Graham Family and certain of their permitted transferees exercised their rights in the first quarter of 2010 to exchange 1,324,900 limited partnership units of Holdings for 1,324,900 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, under this Exchange Agreement, entities controlled by the Graham Family and certain of their permitted transferees exercised their rights in January 2011 to exchange 1,766,681 limited partnership units of Holdings for 1,766,681 shares of the Company’s common stock, in May 2011 to exchange 1,000,000 limited partnership units of Holdings for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and in June 2011 to exchange 839,082 limited partnership units of Holdings for 839,082 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has also entered into Management Exchange Agreements, which provide for similar rights to management to exchange limited partnership units of Holdings obtained on exercise of outstanding options for shares of the Company’s common stock.

On March 11, 2010, the underwriters of the IPO partially exercised their option to purchase additional shares of common stock from the Company and purchased 1,565,600 shares of registered common stock at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, less underwriters discount (the “Underwriters’ Allotment”). The Underwriters’ Allotment closed on March 16, 2010.

24. Proposed Merger

On June 17, 2011, the Company, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“Reynolds”) and Bucephalas Acquisition Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and an amendment thereto (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds (the “Merger”). Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company terminated the previously announced merger agreement (the “Prior Merger Agreement”) with Silgan. In accordance with the terms of the Prior Merger Agreement, the Company paid a $39.5 million termination fee to Silgan.

As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, other than shares owned by Reynolds or the Company (which will be cancelled) and other than those shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn, will be converted into the right to receive $25.50 in cash, without interest. In addition, immediately prior to or contemporaneously with the effective time of the Merger, Holdings will engage in a merger that will result in the equity holders of Holdings (other than GPC) receiving the same cash consideration as is payable in the Merger. Also, pursuant to the terms of the equity incentive plans of the Company and corresponding award agreements with its officers and directors, upon the completion of the Merger, all stock options that vest based solely on the passage of time and continued employment and all stock options that vest upon attainment of certain performance goals will become fully vested if the optionholder remains employed by the Company until the effective time of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, all such options will be cancelled and converted into the right of the holder to receive an amount in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, equal to the product of the total number of shares (or share equivalents) of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the excess, if any, of $25.50 over the exercise price per share (or share equivalent) subject to such option.

At the closing of the Merger, Reynolds is required to pay, or cause to be paid, a cash payment of $245 million pursuant to contractual change in control provisions in the ITRs.

The consummation of the Merger was subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (which waiting period expired on July 25, 2011) and the receipt of certain foreign antitrust approvals and other customary closing conditions. Blackstone, which owned approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on June 17, 2011, executed a written consent on that date to approve the transaction, thereby providing the required stockholder approval for the Merger. No further action is required to approve the Merger by the stockholders of the Company or by the stockholders of Reynolds. Prior to the amendment to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement provided Reynolds with the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if Blackstone did not execute and deliver a written consent to approve the transaction within 3 days of execution of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment to the Merger Agreement, the merger consideration was increased from $25.00 to $25.50 in cash per share of the Company’s common stock, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to a material shortening of the deadline for delivery of Blackstone’s written consent approving the Merger.

25. Subsequent Events

Tender Offer and Consent Solicitations

On July 7, 2011, the Company announced that the Operating Company and CapCo I (collectively, the “Issuers”) commenced tender offers for any and all of their Notes outstanding and solicitation of consents of holders of each series of Notes to make certain amendments to the indentures governing the Notes. The Issuers established 5:00 p.m., New York City time, July 6, 2011, as the record date for the consent solicitations.

indentures) resulting from the pending Merger of the Company with Reynolds, assuming a 30-day notice period following the change of control, and to provide Reynolds and its affiliates with “Permitted Holder” status under the indentures governing the Notes that is substantially similar to the status that they would have if a change of control offer were consummated, as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated July 6, 2011 (the “Statement”). In the event that the proposed amendments are adopted with respect to a series of Notes, the Issuers will not be required to make a change of control offer for the untendered Notes of that series of Notes in connection with the Merger or with respect to the ownership of the Company and its subsidiaries by Reynolds and its affiliates.

The tender offers and consent solicitations were requested by Reynolds and are being conducted in connection with the Merger. The tender offers and consent solicitations are conditioned on consummation of the Merger, which is itself subject to customary closing conditions, including foreign regulatory approvals. In addition, the tender offers and consent solicitations are conditioned on the receipt of requisite consents to approve the proposed amendments (with respect to each series of Notes, consents in respect of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under the applicable indenture) and the general conditions set forth in the Statement.

Under the terms of the tender offers and consent solicitations, a holder of Notes is entitled to receive an amount paid in cash equal to $1,020 per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last applicable interest payment date to, but not including, the date of settlement (which the Issuers intend to coincide with the closing of the Merger), only if (i) such Notes were held by such holder as of the record date for the consent solicitations and (ii) such holder validly tendered such Notes and validly delivered consents with respect to such Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 19, 2011 (the “Early Tender/Consent Deadline”) (without validly withdrawing such Notes or revoking such consents). The total consideration included (i) an early tender premium of $10 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, payable to holders who tendered their Notes and (ii) a consent fee of $15 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, payable only to holders of Notes as of the record date who delivered their consents with respect to Notes held as of the record date, in each case, prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline and without validly withdrawing such Notes or revoking such consents.

Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline (and do not validly withdraw such Notes) will receive $995 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of settlement.

The withdrawal deadline for the tender of Notes was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 19, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated. The tender offers were initially scheduled to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 4, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated. On August 4, 2011, the Issuers extended the expiration time of the tender offer for their Senior Subordinated Notes to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2011, unless further extended or earlier terminated. The Issuers intend for the date of settlement to coincide with the closing of the Merger. Consequently, the Issuers may extend the expiration time and the final acceptance date for tenders as necessary for this to occur. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Merger, the Merger is currently expected to close in the third calendar quarter of this year.

Deliveries of consents with respect to any series of Notes may be validly revoked prior to the time that holders of at least a majority in principal amount of such series of Notes deliver their consents, unless such time is extended. Subject to applicable law, the Issuers reserve the right to terminate or amend in any respect any or all of the tender offers and consent solicitations.

Amendment to Tender Offer and Consent Solicitations

On July 18, 2011, the Issuers amended the terms of the tender offers and consent solicitations for their Senior Notes set forth in the Statement and the related Consent Letter (as defined in the Statement).

The amendments:

•

increased the consent fee from $15 to $25 per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes for which consents were validly delivered prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline;

•

extended the Early Tender/Consent Deadline applicable to the tender offers and consent solicitations for the Senior Notes previously scheduled for 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 19, 2011, to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 20, 2011; and

•

decreased a base offer consideration offered to holders of the Senior Notes who validly tender their Senior Notes from $995 to $985 per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes tendered.

GRAHAM PACKAGING COMPANY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—continued

The total consideration offered for the Senior Notes remained unchanged at $1,020 per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes validly tendered, and related consents validly delivered, prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline.

The Issuers did not change any of the terms of the tender offer and consent solicitation related to their Senior Subordinated Notes.

On July 19, 2011, the Company announced that the Issuers received the Requisite Consents (as defined in the Statement) from holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes to adopt the proposed amendments that were the subject of the consent solicitation for such Notes. The Issuers did not receive the Requisite Consents from holders of the Senior Notes to adopt the proposed amendments that were the subject of the consent solicitation for such Notes.

On July 6, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of the assets of Techne—Technipack Engineering Italia S.r.l. for total consideration of €8.8 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to GPC and its subsidiaries.

We are a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of value-added, custom blow molded plastic containers for branded consumer products. We operate in product categories where customers and end users value the technology and innovation that our custom plastic containers offer as an alternative to traditional packaging materials such as glass, metal and paperboard. We selectively pursue opportunities where we can leverage our technology portfolio to continue to drive the trend of conversion to plastic containers from other packaging materials. Our customers include leading multi-national and regional blue-chip consumer product companies that seek customized, sustainable plastic container solutions in diverse and stable end markets, such as the food and beverage and the household consumer products markets. We believe we are well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our customers who often use our technology to differentiate their products with value-added design and performance characteristics such as smooth-wall panel-less bottles, unique pouring and dispensing features, multilayer bottles incorporating barrier technologies to extend shelf life, and ultra lightweight bottles with “hot-fill” capabilities that allow containers to be filled at high temperatures.

As of June 30, 2011, we operated a network of 97 manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe, South America and Asia. We are organized and managed on a geographical basis in four operating segments: North America, Europe, South America and Asia. Each operating segment includes four major categories: Food and Beverage, Household, Personal Care/Specialty and Automotive Lubricants. Our primary strategies are to manage our business for stable growth and strong cash flow from operations, leverage our technology portfolio to meet the needs of our customers, target organic growth in attractive markets utilizing our proven business model, continue to focus on operational excellence, and supplement our organic growth with opportunistic strategic investments.

We believe that the critical success factors to our business are our ability to:

•

maintain relationships with, and serve the complex packaging demands of, our customers, which include some of the world’s largest branded consumer products companies;

•

participate in growth opportunities associated with the conversion of packaging products from glass, metal and paper to plastic;

•

develop proprietary technologies that provide a meaningful competitive advantage in product design, product performance, process technology and sustainability features;

•

focus on operational excellence, cost reductions and overall efficiencies;

•

make investments in plant and technology necessary to satisfy the factors mentioned above; and

•

reduce our financial leverage.

We intend to capitalize on our leadership positions in value-added custom plastic containers to increase our EBITDA (as defined herein) and cash flow in order to reduce our financial leverage and increase stockholder return.

We believe that the area with the greatest opportunity for growth continues to be in producing containers for the food and beverage product category because of the industry’s continued conversion to plastic packaging, including the demand for containers for juices and juice drinks, nutritional beverages, beer, yogurt drinks, liquor, teas, sports drinks/isotonics, vitamin enhanced waters, snacks, sauces, jellies and jams. Much of the growth in this area in recent years has been in the sale of smaller sized containers. We believe we are a leader in providing value-added hot-fill polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) juice containers. We also believe we are a leading participant in the growing markets for yogurt drinks and nutritional beverages where we manufacture containers using polyolefin resins.

Growth in our household container product category was fueled in prior years by conversions from powders to liquids for such products as detergents, household cleaners and automatic dishwashing detergent. Our strongest position is in fabric care, where management believes we are a leader in plastic container design and manufacture. It should be noted the fabric care industry now offers most of its brands in a concentrated formula which has reduced sales in this product category.

Our personal care/specialty product category is driven by new product launch and re-launch cycles of our customers. Based on the volume of our sales to many major suppliers of personal care/specialty products, management believes we are among the leading suppliers in this product category, which includes products for the hair care, skin care, oral care and specialty markets. Management believes that our supply position results from our commitment to, and reputation in, new product development and flexible manufacturing processes and operations.

Our North American one-quart/liter motor oil container product category is in a mature industry. Unit volume in the one-quart/liter motor oil industry decreased approximately 8% per year from 2006 through 2010 as the product category migrated towards the quick-lube market and larger multi-quart/liter packages. Even though we believe we have the largest market share of multi-quart/liter containers, these sales only partially offset the loss in sales of one-quart/liter containers.

As of June 30, 2011, we operated 31 manufacturing facilities outside of the United States in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Venezuela. Over the past few years, we have expanded our international operations with the addition of three new plants in Brazil and one new plant in each of France, Italy, Mexico and China.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 64.1% and 72.2% of our net sales, respectively, were generated by our top twenty customers. All of the top twenty customers were under long-term contracts with terms up to ten years and have been doing business with us for over 20 years on average. Prices under these arrangements are typically tied to plastic resin market standards and, therefore, vary with market conditions. In general, the contracts have annually set minimum purchase requirements but do not obligate the customer to purchase any given amount of product from us beyond one year. No customer had sales exceeding 10% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Our sales to PepsiCo, Inc., our largest customer, were 10.2% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010. All of these sales were made in North America.

The largest component of our cost of goods sold is resin costs. Based on certain resin industry indices, the following table summarizes average market prices per pound of PET and high-density polyethylene (“HDPE”) resins in the United States during the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
PET	$	1.07	$	0.81	$	1.04	$	0.81
HDPE	$	0.95	$	0.84	$	0.92	$	0.84

Resin and colorants make up a significant part of our cost of goods sold. Colorants are pigments added to the resin to formulate different colors of blow molded plastic bottles. Changes in the cost of colorants are typically passed through to customers, similarly to resin. On a percentage basis, resin and colorant costs generally make up between 40% and 50% of cost of goods sold, depending on the price of resin and colorants and bottle features. As a percentage of net sales, resin and colorant costs make up between 35% and 40%, in general. The percentage depends not only on the price of the resin and colorants, but also the physical characteristics of the bottle, such as size, weight, design features, labels and decorations, color and the technology platform and equipment used to make the bottle.

Changes in the cost of resin are passed through to customers by means of corresponding changes in product pricing, in accordance with our agreements with these customers and industry practice. A sustained increase in resin prices relative to other packaging materials, to the extent that those costs are not passed on to the end-consumer, would make plastic containers less economical for our customers and could result in a slower pace of conversions to, or reductions in the use of, plastic containers. The timing of the Liquid Entities’ (as defined herein) pass-through arrangements has resulted in their being slightly more exposed to fluctuations in resin prices than we have historically been. These provisions will continue to be in effect until we renegotiate those customer contracts.

Acquisitions

On September 23, 2010, we acquired the Liquid Entities (as defined below) from each of the limited partners (the “Liquid Limited Partners”) of Liquid Container L.P. (currently known as “Graham Packaging LC, L.P.”) (“Liquid L.P.”) and each of the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of (i) Liquid Container Inc. (“Liquid”), a Delaware corporation, (ii) CPG-L Holdings, Inc. (“CPG”), a Delaware corporation, and (iii) WCK-L Holdings, Inc. (“WCK” and, together with Liquid and CPG, the “Liquid General Partners”), a Delaware corporation. Liquid L.P. and the Liquid General Partners are collectively referred to as the “Liquid Entities.” We purchased all the shares from the Stockholders and all of the limited partnership units from the Liquid Limited Partners (collectively, the “Liquid Acquisition”) for approximately $564.3 million, subject to a potential working capital adjustment.

The Liquid Acquisition represents a strategically important acquisition for us as it expanded our customer reach within our existing food and consumer products end markets while providing us with additional technological capabilities and an expansion of our geographical reach. The Liquid Acquisition significantly increased the size and scope of our operations, particularly in the food product category, and provides us with considerable opportunities to convert new products to plastic containers. The Liquid Entities have been a leader in custom blow molded plastic containers used in cold-fill applications and have new hot-fill technologies, which complement our technologies, and which we believe can help drive new conversions. The Liquid Entities have a similar financial profile to ours, as they use technology to serve their customer base with innovative and cost effective packaging solutions. We believe the combined purchasing power can yield savings in freight, energy, outside services, leased equipment and miscellaneous raw materials such as packaging, pallets, shrink wrap and spare parts. Additionally, we have eliminated overlapping corporate functions and expenses.

On July 1, 2010, we acquired China Roots Packaging PTE Ltd. (“China Roots”), a plastic container manufacturing company located in Guangzhou, China, for approximately $16 million. China Roots manufactures plastic containers and closures for food, health care, personal care and petrochemical products. Its customers include several global consumer product marketers.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, include the results of operations of the Liquid Entities and China Roots. As a result, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, are not fully comparable to the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which do not include the results of operations of the Liquid Entities and China Roots. Net sales of the Liquid Entities and China Roots included in our consolidated results of operations totaled $102.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and $201.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Amounts for gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses may not be comparable to those of other companies, as the costs that we include in these line items may differ from the costs that other companies include. For a discussion of the types of costs included in each line item, see Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

As resin prices can fluctuate significantly, we believe that our gross profit, as well as certain expense items, should not be analyzed solely on a percentage of net sales basis. Fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices can cause significant fluctuations in resin prices, as can refining capacity and the demand for other petroleum-based products.

Net Sales. The increase in net sales was partially due to an increase in resin costs, which are passed through to customers. The average market price per pound of PET in the U.S. increased from $0.81 to $1.07 and the average market price per pound of HDPE in the U.S. increased from $0.84 to $0.95.

Net sales for the Liquid Entities and China Roots contributed $102.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, to the increase. The favorable impact of exchange rates increased net sales by $13.5 million. The remaining $46.0 million increase was driven primarily by higher resin costs as described above, partially offset by net price reductions both from operational cost savings shared with our customers and in response to competitive pressure. Container units sold increased 8.2%.

On an operating segment basis, net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011, in North America increased $145.9 million, or 25.4%, from the three months ended June 30, 2010. The favorable impact of exchange rates increased net sales by $4.1 million. The remaining $141.8 million increase was largely driven by the net sales of the Liquid Entities of $102.6 million and higher resin costs, partially offset by net price reductions. North American net sales in the food and beverage, household and personal care/specialty product categories contributed $139.2 million, $16.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, to the increase, while the automotive lubricants product category decreased by $10.7 million. Container units sold in North America increased in the food and beverage and household product categories by 15.8% and 29.3%, respectively, and decreased in the personal care/specialty and automotive lubricants product categories by 7.3% and 10.0%, respectively.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011, in Europe increased $10.1 million, or 18.5%, from the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher resin costs and the favorable impact of exchange rates of $6.9 million, partially offset by lower unit volume.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011, in South America increased $4.9 million, or 20.1%, from the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher resin costs, the favorable impact of exchange rates of $2.5 million and price increases, partially offset by lower unit volume.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011, in our Asian operations were $7.5 million. We began accounting for our new Asian operations as a new operating segment as of July 1, 2010, with the acquisition of China Roots.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011, increased in North America by $4.3 million, increased in Europe by $0.2 million, decreased in South America by $1.3 million and increased in Asia by $0.5 million, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of the Liquid Entities and China Roots. The remaining decrease was due to net price reductions and a slight decrease in unit volumes in the legacy business, offset by productivity improvements. The gross profit percentage decreased, in part, as the higher resin costs, which are passed on to customers, inflate sales and thus decrease the gross profit percentage. The decrease was also due to the additional depreciation and amortization on the step-up on the assets of the 2010 acquisitions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The increase was primarily due to expenses of $47.2 million related to the proposed sale of the Company, including a fee of $39.5 million to terminate the merger agreement entered into with Silgan Holdings Inc., additional amortization expense on the intangible assets received in conjunction with the 2010 acquisitions and other additional selling, general and administrative expenses of the 2010 acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation.

Asset Impairment Charges. We continually review our assets for indicators of possible impairment. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, we identified indicators of possible impairment of certain assets in Belgium, Brazil, Mexico and the United States, and in the three months ended June 30, 2010, we identified indicators of possible impairment of certain assets in Brazil, Mexico and the United States. As a result, we evaluated the recoverability of these assets and determined that the undiscounted future cash flows were below the carrying value of these long-lived assets. Additionally, management had no plans to redeploy the majority of these assets. Accordingly, we adjusted the carrying value of these long-lived assets to their estimated fair value in accordance with the guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35-15, “Subsequent Measurement—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” resulting in impairment charges of $1.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Interest Expense. The increase was primarily due to higher average debt levels resulting from the additional borrowings to finance the Liquid Acquisition and an increase in the effective interest rate on a portion of our term loans that were extended in conjunction with these additional borrowings, partially offset by the discontinuance of hedge accounting for our interest rate swap agreements of $2.5 million.

Increase in Income Tax Receivable Obligations. We recognized $8.0 million and $3.6 million of expense related to the increase in the deferred tax assets subject to the Income Tax Receivable Agreements (“ITRs”) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See “—Income Tax Receivable Agreements” for a more detailed description of the ITRs.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net predominantly included net foreign exchange gains and losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as well as additional contingent consideration for the purchase of China Roots of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Provision. We released a significant portion of our valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets of various U.S. subsidiaries in 2010. Therefore, there was no valuation allowance release to offset income tax expense on current earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011, causing an increase in income tax expense over the three months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, the income tax provision increased due to improved profitability in several of our foreign taxpaying subsidiaries, changes in income taxes withheld on foreign-sourced income, and changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. We allocate earnings and losses of Graham Packaging Holdings Company (“Holdings”) to the noncontrolling interests based on the noncontrolling interests’ relative unit ownership percentage.

Net Sales. The increase in net sales was partially due to an increase in resin costs, which are passed through to customers. The average market price per pound of PET in the U.S. increased from $0.81 to $1.04 and the average market price per pound of HDPE in the U.S. increased from $0.84 to $0.92.

Net sales for the Liquid Entities and China Roots contributed $201.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, to the increase. Excluding the Liquid Entities and China Roots, higher unit volume increased net sales by approximately $26.9 million and the favorable impact of exchange rates increased net sales by $17.2 million. The remaining $82.4 million increase was driven primarily by higher resin costs as described above, partially offset by net price reductions both from operational cost savings shared with our customers and in response to competitive pressure. Container units sold increased 10.4%.

On an operating segment basis, net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, in North America increased $304.5 million, or 28.2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2010. Excluding the Liquid Entities, higher unit volume increased net sales by approximately $31.3 million and the favorable impact of exchange rates increased net sales by $6.9 million. The remaining $266.3 million increase was largely driven by the net sales of the Liquid Entities of $201.2 million and higher resin costs, partially offset by net price reductions. North American net sales in the food and beverage, household and personal care/specialty product categories contributed $259.6 million, $45.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to the increase, while the automotive lubricants product category decreased by $1.2 million. Container units sold in North America increased in the food and beverage and household product categories by 18.8% and 28.1%, respectively, and decreased in the personal care/specialty and automotive lubricants product categories by 8.8% and 6.1%, respectively.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, in Europe increased $10.8 million, or 9.6%, from the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher resin costs and the favorable impact of exchange rates of $6.4 million, partially offset by lower unit volume.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, in South America increased $11.1 million, or 23.7%, from the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher resin costs, the favorable impact of exchange rates of $3.9 million and price increases, partially offset by lower unit volume.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, in our Asian operations were $12.9 million. We began accounting for our new Asian operations as a new operating segment as of July 1, 2010, with the acquisition of China Roots.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011, increased in North America by $20.0 million, remained the same in Europe, decreased in South America by $4.4 million and increased in Asia by $0.9 million, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of the Liquid Entities and China Roots, increased unit volume in the legacy business and productivity improvements, offset by net price reductions. The gross profit percentage decreased, in part, as the higher resin costs, which are passed on to customers, inflate sales and thus decrease the gross profit percentage. The decrease was also due to the additional depreciation and amortization on the step-up on the assets of the 2010 acquisitions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The increase was primarily due to expenses of $48.4 million related to the proposed sale of the Company, including a fee of $39.5 million to terminate the merger agreement entered into with Silgan Holdings Inc., additional amortization expense on the intangible assets received in conjunction with the 2010 acquisitions of $4.8 million, other additional selling, general and administrative expenses of the 2010 acquisitions and an increase in expenses related to the integration of the Liquid Entities, partially offset by a one-time fee for the six months ended June 30, 2010, of $35.0 million to affiliates of Blackstone and the Graham Family to terminate the Monitoring Agreement, bonuses paid in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, IPO-related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and a decrease in incentive compensation.

Asset Impairment Charges. We continually review our assets for indicators of possible impairment. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we identified indicators of possible impairment of certain assets in Belgium, Brazil, France, Mexico, Poland, Spain and the United States, and in the six months ended June 30, 2010, we identified indicators of possible impairment of certain assets in Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States. As a result, we evaluated the recoverability of these assets and determined that the undiscounted future cash flows were below the carrying value of these long-lived assets. Additionally, management had no plans to redeploy the majority of these assets. Accordingly, we adjusted the carrying value of these long-lived assets to their estimated fair value in accordance with the guidance under ASC 360-10-35-15, “Subsequent Measurement—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” resulting in impairment charges of $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net Loss on Debt Extinguishment. We made principal payments against our senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) of $114.2 million in February 2010 using the net proceeds from the IPO and of $14.7 million in March 2010 using the net proceeds from the sale of additional shares following the IPO and for an excess cash flow payment of $62.5 million due for the year ended December 31, 2009, paid in March 2010. These principal payments resulted in a write-off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discount in 2010 in the amount of $2.7 million. No similar payments were made in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Increase in Income Tax Receivable Obligations. We recognized $12.6 million and $4.9 million of expense related to the increase in the deferred tax assets subject to the ITRs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount for 2010 reflects the increase in net recognized deferred tax assets subject to the ITRs from February 10, 2010, the date the ITRs became effective, through June 30, 2010. See “—Income Tax Receivable Agreements” for a more detailed description of the ITRs.

Other (Income) Expense, Net. Other (income) expense, net predominantly included net foreign exchange gains and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as well as additional contingent consideration for the purchase of China Roots of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Other expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2010, included a loss of $2.5 million related to the application of hyper-inflationary accounting for our Venezuelan subsidiary and the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

Income Tax Provision. We released a significant portion of our valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets of various U.S. subsidiaries in 2010. Therefore, there was no valuation allowance release to offset income tax expense on current earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011, causing an increase in income tax expense over the six months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, the income tax provision increased due to improved profitability in several of our foreign taxpaying subsidiaries, changes in income taxes withheld on foreign-sourced income, and changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. We allocate earnings and losses of Holdings to the noncontrolling interests based on the noncontrolling interests’ relative unit ownership percentage.

Effect of Changes in Exchange Rates

We generally conduct business in our foreign operations in local currencies. Accordingly, our results of operations are affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. Income and expense accounts and cash flow items are translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. As a result, a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currencies of profitable foreign subsidiaries can have a favorable effect on our profitability, and an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currencies of profitable foreign subsidiaries can have a negative effect on our profitability.

We manage foreign currency exposures (primarily to the euro, Canadian dollar, Polish zloty, Brazilian real, pound sterling and certain non-U.S. subsidiaries’ purchases of raw materials and/or sales of products in U.S. dollars) at the operating unit level. Exposures that cannot be naturally offset within an operating unit are hedged with derivative financial instruments where possible and cost effective in our judgment. Foreign currency exchange contracts which hedge defined exposures generally mature within twelve months. We do not generally hedge our exposure to translation gains or losses on our non-U.S. net assets. There were foreign currency exchange contracts of $3.8 million and $2.2 million outstanding as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in other expense (income), net were foreign exchange gains of $0.4 million and foreign exchange losses of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and foreign exchange gains of $1.1 million and foreign exchange losses of $3.2 million, including a loss of $2.5 million related to the application of hyper-inflationary accounting for our Venezuelan subsidiary and the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net sales for our Venezuelan subsidiary were $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Net exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements are recorded as a separate component of equity (deficit) under the caption “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Exchange rate fluctuations increased comprehensive income by $5.2 million and decreased comprehensive income by $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and increased comprehensive income by $20.5 million and decreased comprehensive income by $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Derivatives

During the first quarter of 2009, we elected to roll over our senior secured term loan in one-month increments to reduce our cash interest, as opposed to continuing to roll over our senior secured term loan in three-month increments to match the terms of our interest rate collar agreements. We had therefore discontinued hedge accounting for our interest rate collar and swap agreements. The amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of that date was being recognized as interest expense over the period in which the previously hedged activity continued to occur. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate collar and swap agreements from that date were also being recognized as interest expense. As a result of the refinancing of the Credit Agreement that enabled us to purchase the Liquid Entities on September 23, 2010, we wrote off the remaining unamortized amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding for the purchase of pound sterling, euros and zloty in an aggregate amount of $3.8 million and pound sterling and U.S. dollars in an aggregate amount of $2.2 million, respectively. These foreign currency exchange contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges and are highly effective as defined by ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated $92.0 million of cash flow from operations and $6.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of ownership interests, and funded $78.6 million of investing activities and $12.3 million of other financing activities, resulting in a net source of cash of $9.1 million. The cash generated from operating activities came primarily from our net loss adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by an increase in working capital.

The increase in working capital, excluding cash and the current portion of long-term debt, was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, due primarily to higher resin costs and higher sales, and an increase in inventories, due primarily to the higher resin costs, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, due primarily to the higher resin costs and the timing of payments, and an increase in accrued interest.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $80.6 million. Our largest capital spending in the first six months of 2011 included the installation of a new bottle line for a large beverage customer in Mexico, building modifications and equipment relocation for a new onsite facility at a large food customer in Pennsylvania, and the installation of new bottle lines to support business expansion with a large Household customer in Pennsylvania.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011, included the paydown of the Term Loans (as defined herein) of $9.8 million.

As of June 30, 2011, our Credit Agreement, as amended, consisted of a senior secured term loan of $1,016.4 million ($1,027.6 million aggregate outstanding principal amount less $11.2 million unamortized discount) due April 5, 2014 (“Term Loan C”) and a senior secured term loan of $910.1 million ($906.2 million aggregate outstanding principal amount plus $3.9 million unamortized premium) (“Term Loan D” and, together with the Term Loan C, the “Term Loans”), to the Operating Company and GPC Capital Corp. I (“CapCo I”), and a $124.8 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) that will expire on October 1, 2013, and with availability of $109.1 million (as reduced by $15.7 million of outstanding letters of credit). The Term Loan D will mature on the earliest of (i) September 23, 2016, (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of our 8.25% senior notes due January 2017 if such senior notes have not been repaid or refinanced in full by such date or (iii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of our 9.875% senior subordinated notes due October 2014 if such senior notes have not been repaid or refinanced in full by such date. The obligations of the Operating Company and CapCo I under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Operating Company. The Term Loans are payable in quarterly installments and require payments of $9.8 million in the remainder of 2011, $19.6 million in 2012, $19.7 million in 2013, $1,010.5 million in 2014, $9.1 million in 2015 and $865.1 million thereafter (disregarding any further mandatory or voluntary prepayments that may reduce such scheduled amortization payments).

On May 28, 2009, the Credit Agreement was also amended such that we may not permit our senior secured net debt to covenant compliance EBITDA (as defined below) ratio to exceed (a) 5.50x on the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or before December 31, 2011; (b) 5.25x on the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or after January 1, 2012, and ending on or before December 31, 2012; and (c) 5.00x on the last day of any fiscal quarter thereafter. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement.

We expect to fund scheduled debt repayments in 2011 with cash flow from operations. Substantially all unused lines of credit have no major restrictions and are provided under notes between us and the respective lending institutions.

As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes due 2018”), $253.4 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (“Senior Notes due 2017” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2018, the “Senior Notes”) and $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2014 (“Senior Subordinated Notes” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2018 and the Senior Notes due 2017, the “Notes”) co-issued by the Operating Company and CapCo I. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Operating Company and mature on October 7, 2014 (Senior Subordinated Notes), January 1, 2017 (Senior Notes due 2017), and October 1, 2018 (Senior Notes due 2018). Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually at 9.875% per annum and interest on the Senior Notes due 2017 and the Senior Notes due 2018 is payable semi-annually at 8.25% per annum.

As of June 30, 2011, our total indebtedness was $2,822.6 million, net of $9.9 million unamortized net discount, and our indebtedness net of cash was $2,660.5 million.

The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Notes contain a number of significant covenants. We believe that these covenants are material terms of these agreements and that information about the covenants is material to an investor’s understanding of our financial condition and liquidity. Covenant compliance EBITDA (as defined below) is used to determine our compliance with certain of these covenants. Any breach of covenants in the Credit Agreement (including those that are tied to financial ratios based on covenant compliance EBITDA) could result in a default under the Credit Agreement and the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed to be immediately due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the indentures. Additionally, these covenants restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to dispose of assets, repay other indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, prepay subordinated indebtedness, incur liens, make capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict our activities. Under the Credit Agreement, we are required to satisfy specified financial ratios and tests. The Credit Agreement also requires that up to 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) be applied on an annual basis to pay down the Term Loans. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the financial ratios and tests specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement defines covenant compliance EBITDA as EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), generated by Holdings, further adjusted to exclude non-recurring items, non-cash items and other adjustments required in calculating covenant compliance under the Credit Agreement and the indentures, as shown in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as covenant compliance EBITDA, less project startup costs and certain other administrative expenses. Further, adjusted EBITDA is one of several measures we use to determine management incentive compensation. Covenant compliance EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be used as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. We believe that the inclusion of covenant compliance EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA amounts in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indentures, as well as information as to how management is compensated. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of covenant compliance EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of net (loss) income to covenant compliance EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

(d)	Represents costs related to the acquisition and integration of the Liquid Entities, China Roots and other entities.

(e)	Represents costs related to the aborted merger with Silgan Holdings Inc. and the proposed merger with Reynolds (as further described in “—Proposed Merger”).

(g)	We use adjusted EBITDA as one factor in the setting of incentive compensation.

(h)	Represents costs associated with startups of manufacturing lines to produce new products.

(i)	Represents administrative expenses specific to GPC which are excluded from the computation of covenant compliance EBITDA.

Under applicable debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on covenant compliance EBITDA. The Credit Agreement requires that we maintain a senior secured net debt to covenant compliance EBITDA ratio at a maximum of 5.5x for the most recent four-quarter period. For the four quarters ended June 30, 2011, the Operating Company’s covenant compliance EBITDA was $557.8 million and the senior secured net debt to covenant compliance EBITDA ratio was 3.2x, excluding any adjustment to include pro forma EBITDA of the acquired companies as permitted by the Credit Agreement. Given the level of senior secured debt as of June 30, 2011, the Operating Company’s covenant compliance EBITDA could have fallen by $232.0 million to $325.8 million for the four quarters ended June 30, 2011, and we still would have been in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement. The ability of the Operating Company to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under its Notes is tied to a minimum covenant compliance EBITDA to fixed charges (primarily cash interest expense) ratio of 2.0x, except that the Operating Company may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments without regard to the ratio, including, but not limited to, exceptions permitting $2.2 billion under the Credit Agreement and investments equal to 7.5% of the Operating Company’s total assets. The covenant compliance EBITDA to fixed charges ratio was 2.6x, excluding any adjustment to include pro forma EBITDA of the acquired companies as permitted by the Credit Agreement, for the four quarters ended June 30, 2011.

We utilize adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow (as defined herein) as important internal metrics in managing our business. We consider adjusted EBITDA an operating metric and free cash flow a liquidity metric. Among other things, these metrics are used to determine incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, net (loss) income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, in both cases as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We define free cash flow as cash flow from operations, less cash paid for property, plant and equipment, and further adjusted for certain non-recurring items, as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
	(In millions)

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment		(80.6	)		(75.9	)

Free cash flow	$	62.2		$	62.9

(a)	Represents costs related to the termination of the Monitoring Agreement between the Company, Blackstone and the Graham Family, IPO bonus payments and other IPO-related costs.

(b)	Represents costs related to the acquisition and integration of the Liquid Entities, China Roots and other entities.

(c)	Represents costs related to the aborted merger with Silgan Holdings Inc. and the proposed merger with Reynolds (as further described in “—Proposed Merger”).

Substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of our domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement are pledged as collateral pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Operating Company is subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions to Holdings; provided that, subject to certain limitations, the Operating Company may pay dividends or other distributions to Holdings:

•

with respect to overhead, tax and tax-related liabilities, ITRs obligations, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses; and

•

to fund purchases and redemptions of equity interests of Holdings or GPC held by then present or former officers or employees of Holdings, the Operating Company or their Subsidiaries (as defined therein) or by any employee stock ownership plan upon that person’s death, disability, retirement or termination of employment or other circumstances with annual dollar limitations.

We and our subsidiaries, affiliates or significant stockholders (including Blackstone) may, from time to time, subject to limitations in our debt agreements and in our or their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities (including any publicly issued debt or equity securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

In the event that a party acquires beneficial ownership representing voting power in Holdings greater than the voting power represented by the interests beneficially owned by Blackstone through shares of our common stock, such as the contemplated merger of us with a subsidiary of Reynolds (as further described in “—Proposed Merger”), an event of default under the Credit Agreement will be triggered. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will not be required to lend any additional amounts or could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable, which could result in an event of default under our other debt instruments. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the Credit Agreement could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under the Credit Agreement. If the lenders under the Credit Agreement accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay the Credit Agreement and our other indebtedness or be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us.

Under the indentures governing the Notes, upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, such as the contemplated merger of us with a subsidiary of Reynolds (as further described in “—Proposed Merger”), we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless such Notes have been previously called for redemption. As further described in “—Subsequent Events,” on July 7, 2011, we commenced tender offers for any and all of the Notes and solicited consents of holders of each series of Notes to make certain amendments to the indentures governing the Notes, including with respect to the requirement to make a change of control offer for the Notes. On July 19, 2011, we announced that we had received the requisite consents from holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes to adopt the proposed amendments and accordingly, if the Merger (as defined herein) is completed, we will not be required to offer to repurchase the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes as a result of the Merger; however, we have not received the requisite consents for the Senior Notes and therefore would be required to make a change of control offer for the Senior Notes upon the completion of the Merger, which would be funded by Reynolds. The issuers’ failure to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control would cause a default under the applicable indenture and a cross default under the senior secured credit facilities and the other indentures.

We believe that capital expenditures to maintain and upgrade property, plant and equipment are important to remain competitive. We estimate that on average the maintenance capital expenditures are approximately $40 million to $50 million per year. Additional capital expenditures beyond this amount will be required to expand capacity or improve our cost structure.

For the year 2011, we expect to incur capital expenditures ranging from $165 million to $185 million. We also expect to incur some capital expenditures associated with the integration of the Liquid Entities into our operating network. We expect this number to be between $10 million and $20 million over the next two years. However, total capital expenditures will depend on the size and timing of growth related opportunities. Our principal source of cash to fund ongoing operations and capital requirements has been and is expected to continue to be cash flow from operations. We believe that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and foreseeable capital requirements.

Income Tax Receivable Agreements

In connection with the IPO, GPC entered into ITRs which will obligate it to make payments to its pre-IPO stockholders (including Blackstone) and the Graham Family in an amount equal to 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that GPC actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in the case of an early termination or change in control as further described in the ITRs) as a result of (i) the utilization of GPC’s net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the IPO, (ii) any increase to the tax basis of the assets of Holdings relating to GPC’s 1998 acquisition of 85% of Holdings and current and future exchanges of limited partnership units by the Graham Family pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and (iii) other tax benefits related to GPC’s entering into the ITRs, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the ITRs. As of June 30, 2011, the value of the ITRs obligations was $24.0 million.

At the closing of the Merger (as defined herein), the surviving corporation will be required to make a cash payment of $245 million to our pre-IPO stockholders (e.g. Blackstone, management and other stockholders) and the Graham Family pursuant to change in control provisions in the ITRs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

We have entered into agreements with an unrelated third-party for the financing of specific accounts receivable of certain foreign subsidiaries. The financing of accounts receivable under these agreements is accounted for as a sale of receivables in accordance with the guidance under ASC 860-20, “Sale of Financial Assets.” Under the terms of the financing agreements, we transfer ownership of eligible accounts receivable without recourse to the third-party purchaser in exchange for cash. Proceeds on the transfer reflect the face value of the accounts receivable less a discount. The discount is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations in the period of the sale. The eligible receivables financed pursuant to this factoring agreement are excluded from accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, while non-eligible receivables remain on the balance sheet with a corresponding liability established when those receivables are financed. We do not continue to service, administer and collect the eligible receivables under this program. The third-party purchaser has no recourse to us for failure of debtors constituting eligible receivables to pay when due. We maintain insurance on behalf of the third-party purchaser to cover any losses due to the failure of debtors constituting eligible receivables to pay when due. At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had sold $25.3 million and $18.4 million of eligible accounts receivable, respectively, which represent the face amounts of total outstanding receivables at those dates.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to potential loss contingencies resulting from regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities with respect to the environmental impact of our operating facilities. In the event a known environmental issue is identified, we may incur substantial costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. See Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for further discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for information regarding new accounting pronouncements.

Proposed Merger

On June 17, 2011, we, Reynolds and Bucephalas Acquisition Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and an amendment thereto (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into us, with GPC continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds (the “Merger”). Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, we terminated the previously announced merger agreement (the “Prior Merger Agreement”) with Silgan Holdings Inc. (“Silgan”). In accordance with the terms of the Prior Merger Agreement, we paid a $39.5 million termination fee to Silgan.

As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of our common stock, other than shares owned by Reynolds or us (which will be cancelled) and other than those shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn, will be converted into the right to receive $25.50 in cash, without interest. In addition, immediately prior to or contemporaneously with the effective time of the Merger, Holdings will engage in a merger that will result in the equity holders of Holdings (other than GPC) receiving the same cash consideration as is payable in the Merger. Also, pursuant to the terms of our equity incentive plans and corresponding award agreements with our officers and directors, upon the completion of the Merger, all stock options that vest based solely on the passage of time and continued employment and all stock options that vest upon attainment of certain performance goals will become fully vested if the optionholder remains employed by us until the effective time of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, all such options will be cancelled and converted into the right of the holder to receive an amount in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, equal to the product of the total number of shares (or share equivalents) of our common stock multiplied by the excess, if any, of $25.50 over the exercise price per share (or share equivalent) subject to such option.

At the closing of the Merger, Reynolds is required to pay, or cause to be paid, a cash payment of $245 million pursuant to contractual change in control provisions in the ITRs.

The consummation of the Merger was subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (which waiting period expired on July 25, 2011) and the receipt of certain foreign antitrust approvals and other customary closing conditions. Blackstone, which owned approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on June 17, 2011, executed a written consent on that date to approve the transaction, thereby providing the required stockholder approval for the Merger. No further action is required to approve the Merger by our stockholders or by the stockholders of Reynolds. Prior to the amendment to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement provided Reynolds with the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if Blackstone did not execute and deliver a written consent to approve the transaction within 3 days of execution of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment to the Merger Agreement, the merger consideration was increased from $25.00 to $25.50 in cash per share of our common stock, in consideration for our agreement to a material shortening of the deadline for delivery of Blackstone’s written consent approving the Merger.

In connection with the proposed Merger, we filed a definitive information statement for our stockholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and mailed the definitive information statement to our stockholders and may file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC as well. We urge investors and stockholders to read the definitive information statement, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because they will contain important information. Investors and stockholders can obtain, without charge, a copy of the definitive information statement and other documents at the SEC’s web site, http://www.sec.gov, or from us by directing a request by mail or telephone to Graham Packaging Company Inc. at 2401 Pleasant Valley Road, York, PA 17402, Attention: Investor Relations, (717) 771-3220.

Subsequent Events

Tender Offer and Consent Solicitations

On July 7, 2011, we announced that the Operating Company and CapCo I (collectively, the “Issuers”) commenced tender offers for any and all of their Notes outstanding and solicitation of consents of holders of each series of Notes to make certain amendments to the indentures governing the Notes. The Issuers established 5:00 p.m., New York City time, July 6, 2011, as the record date for the consent solicitations.

The purpose of the tender offers and consent solicitations is to collectively offer holders of Notes an opportunity to receive consideration that represents a premium to the consideration that they would receive if they were to require the Issuers to purchase their Notes in a change of control offer (as defined in the applicable indentures) resulting from our pending Merger with Reynolds, assuming a 30-day notice period following the change of control, and to provide Reynolds and its affiliates with “Permitted Holder” status under the indentures governing the Notes that is substantially similar to the status that they would have if a change of control offer were consummated, as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated July 6, 2011 (the “Statement”). In the event that the proposed amendments are adopted with respect to a series of Notes, the Issuers will not be required to make a change of control offer for the untendered Notes of that series of Notes in connection with the Merger or with respect to the ownership of us and our subsidiaries by Reynolds and its affiliates.

Amendment to Tender Offer and Consent Solicitations

The amendments:

•

increased the consent fee from $15 to $25 per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes for which consents were validly delivered prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline;

•

decreased a base offer consideration offered to holders of the Senior Notes who validly tender their Senior Notes from $995 to $985 per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes tendered.

The Issuers did not change any of the terms of the tender offer and consent solicitation related to their Senior Subordinated Notes.

On July 19, 2011, we announced that the Issuers received the Requisite Consents (as defined in the Statement) from holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes to adopt the proposed amendments that were the subject of the consent solicitation for such Notes. The Issuers did not receive the Requisite Consents from holders of the Senior Notes to adopt the proposed amendments that were the subject of the consent solicitation for such Notes.

Acquisition

On July 6, 2011, we completed our acquisition of the assets of Techne—Technipack Engineering Italia S.r.l. for total consideration of €8.8 million.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are discussed in Part II, Item 7A in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in information reported since the year ended December 31, 2010.

Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt consists of both variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. Our variable-rate debt, including our Credit Agreement, totaled $1,940.8 million (net of $7.3 million unamortized net discount) and $1,951.3 million (net of $8.9 million unamortized net discount) at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of this long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $1,954.1 million and $1,977.1 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our fixed-rate debt, including $253.4 million of Senior Notes due 2017, $250.0 million of Senior Notes due 2018 and $375.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes, totaled $881.8 million (net of $2.6 million unamortized discount) and $881.5 million (net of $2.9 million unamortized discount) at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of this long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $951.1 million and $915.1 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Based on the outstanding amount of our variable-rate indebtedness at June 30, 2011, a one percentage point change in the interest rates for our variable-rate indebtedness would impact interest expense by an aggregate of approximately $0.1 million, excluding the impact of our interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2011.

The following table presents information for our interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts. The notional amounts do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties, and therefore are not direct measures of our exposure to credit risk. The fair values approximate the costs to settle the outstanding contracts.

Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On September 23, 2010, we completed the acquisition of the Liquid Entities. We are in the process of incorporating the Liquid Entities’ internal controls into our control structure. We consider the ongoing integration of the Liquid Entities a material change in our internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
