Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On May 5, 2009, Crown Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Crown") filed a current report on Form 8-K reflecting the requirements of SFAS No. 160 (“FAS 160”), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” FAS 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. FAS 160 required retrospective adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively. The financial statements included in this report are presented in accordance with FAS 160 and all prior period information has been retrospectively adjusted. This information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and hereby incorporated by reference.
