	1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Background
	Berry Plastics Group, Inc. ("Berry" or the "Company") is a leading provider of value-added plastic consumer packaging and engineered materials with a track record of delivering high-quality customized solutions to our customers. Representative examples of our products include drink cups, thin-wall containers, bottles, specialty closures, prescription vials, specialty films, adhesives and corrosion protection materials. We sell our solutions predominantly into consumer-oriented end-markets, such as food and beverage, healthcare and personal care.
	Initial Public Offering, Stock Split and TRA
	In October 2012, the Company completed an initial public offering and sold 29,411,764 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share. In conjunction with the initial public offering the Company executed a 12.25 for one stock split of the Company's common stock. The effect of the stock split on outstanding shares and earnings per share has been retroactively applied to all periods presented. Transaction fees totaling $33 million were included in Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Proceeds, net of transaction fees, of $438 million and cash from operations were used to repurchase $455 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 2016. As part of the repurchase the Company paid premiums of $13 million and wrote-off $3 million of deferred financing fees.
	In connection with the initial public offering, the Company entered into an income tax receivable agreement ("TRA") that provides for the payment to pre-initial public offering stockholders, option holders and holders of our stock appreciation rights, 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that are actually realized (or are deemed to be realized in the case of a change of control) as a result of the utilization of our and our subsidiaries' net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the initial public offering. The Company expects to pay between $313 million and $360 million in cash related to this agreement. This range is based on the Company's assumptions using various items, including valuation analysis and current tax law. The Company recorded an obligation of $313 million which was recognized as a reduction of Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the estimated TRA obligation will be recorded as Other expense (income) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Payments under the TRA are not conditioned upon the parties' continued ownership of the Company.
	Secondary Public Offerings
	In April 2013, we completed a secondary public offering in which certain funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC ("Apollo") and Graham Partners ("Graham") sold 18,975,000 shares of common stock at $17.00 per share, which included 2,475,000 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares. The selling stockholders received proceeds from the offering, which, net of underwriting fees, totaled $311 million. The Company received no proceeds and incurred fees of $1 million related to this offering.
	In July 2013, we completed a secondary public offering in which certain funds affiliated with Apollo and Graham sold 17,250,000 shares of common stock at $21.63 per share, which included 2,250,000 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares. The selling stockholders received proceeds from the offering, which, net of underwriting fees, totaled $360 million. The Company received no proceeds and incurred fees of $1 million related to this offering.
	Basis of Presentation
	Periods presented in these financial statements include fiscal periods ending September 28, 2013 ("fiscal 2013"), September 29, 2012 ("fiscal 2012"), and October 1, 2011 ("fiscal 2011"). Berry, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries operates in four primary segments: Rigid Open Top, Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Materials, and Flexible Packaging. The Company's customers are located principally throughout the United States, without significant concentration in any one region or with any one customer. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company's fiscal year is based on fifty-two or fifty-three week periods. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
	Reclassification Adjustments
	Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company historically presented Other operating expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations, which consisted predominately of business optimization costs and management fees to affiliates of Apollo and Graham. The Company has eliminated separate presentation of Other operating expenses from its Consolidated Statements of Operations to better align with the way the Company is reviewing its operating results. The Company incurred business optimization costs of $16 million, $32 million and $31 million in fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively and are included in Cost of goods sold. The Company recorded management fees of $9 million in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively and are included in Selling, general and administrative expense. The Company's management fee agreement with Apollo and other investors terminated upon completion of the initial public offering.
	Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of consolidated subsidiaries is less than 100% the non-controlling interests are reflected in stockholders' equity.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer (either when the products reach the free-on-board shipping point or destination depending on the contractual terms), there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in gross sales to arrive at net sales. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition standards of the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC"), the Company provides for these items as reductions of revenue at the later of the date of the sale or the date the incentive is offered. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience.
	Shipping, handling, purchasing, receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and other costs of distribution are presented in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company classifies amounts charged to its customers for shipping and handling in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Vendor Rebates, Purchases of Raw Materials and Concentration of Risk
	The Company receives consideration in the form of rebates from certain vendors. The Company accrues these as a reduction of inventory cost as earned under existing programs, and reflects as a reduction of cost of goods sold at the time that the related underlying inventory is sold to customers.
	The largest supplier of the Company's total resin material requirements represented approximately 20% of purchases in fiscal 2013. The Company uses a variety of suppliers to meet its resin requirements.
	Research and Development
	Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $28 million, $25 million, and $20 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The compensation guidance of the FASB requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements based on alternative fair value models. The share-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company's share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 12. The Company recorded total stock compensation expense of $16 million, $2 million, and $2 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	In August 2013, the Company recorded an $8 million stock compensation charge related to certain modifications to the Berry Plastics Group Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the Berry Plastics Group, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), and amended outstanding non-qualified stock option agreements to reflect such modifications. The modifications, include (i) accelerated vesting of all unvested options upon an employee's death or permanent disability (ii) in the event of an employee's qualified retirement, continuation of the normal vesting period applicable to the retiree's unvested options, as well as an extension of the exercise period to the end of the original ten-year term of the retiree's vested options and (iii) all unvested options and stock appreciation rights that were subject to performance-based vesting criteria as of January 1, 2013 (excluding certain IRR performance-based options) were modified to time-based vesting.
	The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock options. The model allows for the use of a range of assumptions. Expected volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model are based on implied volatilities from traded stocks of peer companies. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and the estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company's options have a ten year contractual life. For purposes of the valuation model in fiscal 2013, the Company used the simplified method for determining the granted options expected lives. The fair value for options granted has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model, with the following weighted average assumptions:
				Fiscal year
		2013		2012			2011
	Risk-free interest rate	0.6	%	0.6 - 0.9	%		1.3	%
	Dividend yield	0	%	0	%		0	%
	Volatility factor	0.38		0.38			.32-.34
	Expected option life	7 years		5 years			5 years
	Foreign Currency
	For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, the amounts of which are not material in any period presented are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company's accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts are analyzed in detail on a quarterly basis and all significant customers with delinquent balances are reviewed to determine future collectibility. The determinations are based on legal issues (such as bankruptcy status), past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and the experience of the credit representatives. Reserves are established in the quarter in which the Company makes the determination that the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company maintains additional reserves based on its historical bad debt experience. The following table summarizes the activity for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 for the allowance for doubtful accounts:
			2013			2012			2011
	Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning	$	3		$	4		$	4
	Bad debt expense		1			1			1
	Write-offs against allowance		(1	)		(2	)		(1	)
	Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending	$	3		$	3		$	4
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts inventory is charged to manufacturing overhead expense when incurred. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Inventory as of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was:
	Inventories:		2013		2012
	Finished goods	$	335	$	306
	Raw materials		240		229
		$	575	$	535
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 25 years for buildings and improvements two to 10 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling and over the term of the agreement for capital. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company capitalized interest of $5 million, $5 million, and $3 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was:
	Property, plant and equipment:		2013			2012
	Land, buildings and improvements	$	302		$	281
	Equipment and construction in progress		2,241			2,019
			2,543			2,300
	Less accumulated depreciation		(1,277	)		(1,084	)
		$	1,266		$	1,216
	Long-lived Assets
	Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at the product line level in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment standard of the ASC whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset's carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows or appraisals as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are reported at the lower of the assets' carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the assets' disposition. We recorded impairment charges totaling $5 million, $20 million, and $35 million to write-down long-lived assets to their net realizable valuables during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 respectively.
	Goodwill
	The Company follows the principles provided by the Goodwill and Other Intangibles standard of the ASC. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested annually for impairment. The Company performs their annual impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter in each respective fiscal year. For purposes of conducting our annual goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that we have five reporting units, Open Top, Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Films, Flexible Packaging and Tapes. Tapes and Engineered Films comprise the Engineered Materials operating segment. We determined that each of the components within our respective reporting units have similar economic characteristics and therefore should be aggregated. We reached this conclusion because within each of our reporting units, we have similar products and production processes which allow us to share assets and resources across the product lines. We regularly re-align our production equipment and manufacturing facilities in order to take advantage of cost savings opportunities, obtain synergies and create manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, we utilize our research and development centers, design center, tool shops, and graphics center which all provide benefits to each of the reporting units and work on new products that can not only benefit one product line, but can benefit multiple product lines. We also believe that the goodwill is recoverable from the overall operations of the unit given the similarity in production processes, synergies from leveraging the combined resources, common raw materials, common research and development, similar margins and similar distribution methodologies. In fiscal 2013, the Company applied the quantitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount. Based on our review of prior quantitative tests, changes in the carrying values, operating results, relevant market data and other factors we determined that no impairment is indicated and we did not perform a two-step impairment test. In fiscal 2012, we completed step 1 of the impairment test which indicated no impairment in any of our reporting units. In fiscal 2011 the Company completed the annual impairment and determined the carrying value of the Specialty Films division, which is now included in the Engineered Materials and Flexible Packaging exceeded its fair value. The Company performed the second step of its evaluation to calculate the impairment and as a result recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $165 million in Restructuring and impairment charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This impairment was primarily the result of a base volume decline of 11% in our Engineered Materials and Flexible Packaging segments. This base volume decline of 11% occurred because of a pricing strategy that we
	implemented in the second fiscal quarter of 2011. The $165 million impairment charge incurred in fiscal 2011 is the Company's only goodwill impairment charge.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows:
		Rigid Open		Rigid Closed			Engineered			Flexible
		Top		Top			Materials			Packaging		Total
Balance as of fiscal 2011	$	681	$	819		$	55		$	40	$	1,595

Balance as of fiscal 2013	$	681	$	831		$	73		$	49	$	1,634
Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred financing fees are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements.
Intangible Assets
Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 11 to 20 years. Trademarks that are expected to remain in use, which are indefinite lived intangible assets, are required to be reviewed for impairment annually. Technology intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the technology which is 11 years. License intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the license which is 10 years. Patent intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the technology or the patent expiration date ranging from 10 to 20 years, with a weighted-average life of 15 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived tradenames and noted no impairment. As discussed in Note 10, the Company recorded a $5 million and $17 million impairment charge related to the exit of certain operations in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

Insurable Liabilities
The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers' compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated by utilizing actuarial valuations based upon historical claims experience.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company's effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the United States.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive losses include net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability.
The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (amounts below are net of taxes):
					Defined Benefit

Accrued Rebates
The Company offers various rebates to customers based on purchases. These rebate programs are individually negotiated with customers and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. Certain rebates are calculated as flat percentages of purchases, while others included tiered volume incentives. These rebates may be payable monthly, quarterly, or annually. The calculation of the accrued rebate balance involves significant management estimates, especially where the terms of the
rebate involve tiered volume levels that require estimates of expected annual sales. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. The accrual for customer rebates was $55 million and $68 million at the end of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Pension
Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. Periodically, the Company evaluates the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets in its defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans. In evaluating these assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of the discount rates, expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company calculates basic net income (loss) per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income (loss) per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02: Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"). This guidance requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Companies also are required to present reclassifications by component when reporting changes in AOCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety in the period, companies must report the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. In certain circumstances, this can be done on the face of that statement. Otherwise, it must be presented in the notes. For items not reclassified to net income in their entirety in the period (e.g., pension amounts that are capitalized in inventory), companies must cross-reference in a note to other required disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 in fiscal 2013 did have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11: Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2013-11"). An entity is required to present unrecognized tax benefits as a decrease in a net operating loss, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The determination of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and the deferred tax asset that exists at the reporting date and presumes disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The guidance will eliminate the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits but will not alter the way in which entities assess deferred tax assets for realizability. ASU 2013-11 will be effective for the company in fiscal 2014. The Company is currently assessing the impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements	'
	4. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
	As part of the overall risk management, the Company uses derivative instruments to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates attributed to the Company's floating-rate borrowings. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, as determined by FASB guidance, changes in fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements.
	Cash Flow Hedging Strategy
	For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
	In November 2010, the Company entered into two separate interest rate swap transactions to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of the outstanding variable rate term loan debt (the "2010 Swaps"). The first agreement had a notional amount of $500 million and became effective in November 2010. The agreement swaps three month variable LIBOR contracts for a fixed three year rate of 0.8925% and expires in November 2013. The second agreement had a notional amount of $500 million and became effective in December 2010. The agreement swaps three month variable LIBOR contracts for a fixed three year rate of 1.0235% and expires in November 2013. In August 2011, the Company began utilizing 1-month LIBOR contracts for the underlying senior secured credit facility. The Company's change in interest rate selection caused the Company to lose hedge accounting on both of the interest rate swaps. The Company recorded changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and will amortize the previously recorded unrealized losses of $1 million, net of tax as of fiscal year-end 2013 to Interest expense through the end of the respective swap agreements.
	In February 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to protect $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt from future interest rate volatility. The agreement swapped the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed three-year rate of 2.355%, with an effective date in May 2016 and expiration in May 2019. In June 2013, the Company elected to settle this derivative instrument and received $16 million as a result of this settlement. The offset is included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and Deferred income taxes and will be amortized to Interest expense from May 2016 through May 2019, the original term of the swap agreement.

	The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures section of the ASC defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This section also establishes a three-level hierarchy (Level 1, 2, or 3) for fair value measurements based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. This section also requires the consideration of the counterparty's or the Company's nonperformance risk when assessing fair value.
	The Company's interest rate swap fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.
	The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and capital lease obligations. The fair value of our long-term indebtedness exceeded book value by $164 million and $195 million as of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. The Company's long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.
	Redeemable Common Stock
	The Company had entered into agreements with former employees that required the Company to redeem [certain common stock held by such former employees] at pre-determined dates. Redemption of this common stock was based on the fair value of the stock on the fixed redemption date and this redemption was out of the control of the Company. At fiscal year-end 2011 and 2012, this redeemable common stock was recorded at its fair value in temporary equity and changes in the fair value were recorded in additional paid in capital each period. Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the exercise price for option awards is the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant. Historically, the fair market value of a share of common stock was determined by the Board of Directors by applying industry-appropriate multiples to EBITDA. This valuation took into account a level of net debt that excluded cash required for working capital purposes. The categorization of the framework used to price these liabilities is considered a Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. Upon completion of the initial public offering, the redemption requirement terminated resulting in the Company reclassifying the shares into equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value as of the end of fiscal 2012 was $23 million.
	Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
	The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under the circumstances and events described in Note 1 and Note 10. The assets are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value (see Note 1 and 10 for additional discussion).
	Included in the following table are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement for the year then ended.

	Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets
	ASC Topic 350 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. The Company conducts the impairment test on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period. When assessing its goodwill for impairment, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis in combination with a comparable company market approach to determine the fair value of their reporting units and corroborate the fair values. The Company utilizes a relief from royalty method to value their indefinite lived trademarks and uses the forecasts that are consistent with those used in the reporting unit analysis. The Company has five reporting units more fully discussed in Note 1. In fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 the Company performed their annual impairment test and determined no impairment existed. In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $165 million in Restructuring and impairment charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on the indefinitive lived intangible assets in any of the years presented.
	Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment and Definite Lived Intangible Assets
	The Company periodically realigns their manufacturing operations which results in facilities being closed and shut down and equipment transferred to other facilities or equipment being scrapped or sold. The Company utilizes appraised values to
	corroborate the fair value of the facilities and has utilized a scrap value based on prior facility shut downs to estimate the fair value of the equipment, which has approximated the actual value that was received. When impairment indicators exist, the Company will also perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets. The Company did not incur an impairment charge related to property, plant and equipment in fiscal 2013. The Company wrote-down their property, plant, and equipment with a carrying value of $1,219 million to its fair value of $1,216 million, which resulted in an impairment charge of $3 million during fiscal 2012. The Company wrote-down their property, plant, and equipment with a carrying value of $1,285 million to its fair value of $1,250 million, which resulted in an impairment charge of $35 million during fiscal 2011. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $5 million and $17 million on definite long-lived assets related to the decision to exit certain businesses during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

	6.  Lease and Other Commitments and Contingencies
	The Company leases certain property, plant and equipment under long-term lease agreements.  Property, plant, and equipment under capital leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet as owned.  The Company entered into new capital lease obligations totaling $49 million, $7 million, and $29 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, with various lease expiration dates through 2020.  The Company records amortization of capital leases in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Assets under operating leases are not recorded on the Company's balance sheet.  Operating leases expire at various dates in the future with certain leases containing renewal options.  The Company had minimum lease payments or contingent rentals of $16 million and $15 million and asset retirement obligations of $6 million and $5 million as of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Total rental expense from operating leases was $53 million, $56 million, and $59 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	Future minimum lease payments for capital leases and noncancellable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year as of fiscal year-end 2013, are as follows:

	In September 2012, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold its warehouse facility located in Lawrence , Kansas.  The Company received net proceeds of $20 million and resulted in the Company realizing a deferred gain of $1 million which will be offset against the future lease payments over the life of the lease.
	The Company is party to various legal proceedings involving routine claims which are incidental to its business.  Although the Company's legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company believes that any ultimate liability would not be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  The Company has various purchase commitments for raw materials, supplies and property and equipment incidental to the ordinary conduct of business.
	At the end of fiscal 2013, the Company employed over 15,000 employees.  Approximately 12% of the Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.  One of the ten agreements, covering approximately 30 employees, which was scheduled for renegotiation in fiscal 2013 is still being renegotiated.  The remaining agreements expire after fiscal 2013.  The Company's relations with employees remain satisfactory and there have been no significant work stoppages or other labor disputes during the past three years.

	In the United Sates the Company had $824 million of Federal net operating loss carryforwards, which will be available to offset future taxable income.  As of fiscal year-end 2013, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $117 million, which will be available to offset future taxable income.  If not used, the Federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in future years beginning 2025 through 2031.  AMT credit carryforwards totaling $9 million are available to the Company indefinitely to reduce future years' Federal income taxes.  The Company has $1 million of Federal Research and Development tax credits that will expire in 2033.
	In connection with the initial public offering, the Company entered into an income tax receivable agreement that provides for the payment to pre-initial public offering stockholders, option holders and holders of our stock appreciation rights, 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that are actually realized (or are deemed to be realized in the case of a change of control) as a result of the utilization of our and our subsidiaries' net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the initial public offering.  The Company expects to pay between $313 million and $360 million in cash related to this agreement.  This range is based on the Company's assumptions using various items, including valuation analysis and current tax law.  The Company recorded an obligation of $313 million which was recognized as a reduction of Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The balance at the end of fiscal 2013 was $308 million.
	The Company believes that it will not generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions related to the deferred tax assets.  The Company also has certain state net operating losses that may expire before they are fully utilized.  Therefore, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against certain of its foreign deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance against certain of its state deferred tax assets included within the deferred tax assets.
	Prior changes in ownership have created limitations under Sec. 382 of the internal revenue code on annual usage of net operating loss carryforwards.  However, all of the Company's Federal net operating loss carryforwards should be available for use within the next five years.  As part of the effective tax rate calculation, if we determine that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, we will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value.  The Company has not provided a valuation allowance on its Federal net operating loss carryforwards in the United States because it has determined that future reversals of its temporary taxable differences will occur in the same periods and are of the same nature as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets.  Our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $59 million and $51 million as of fiscal year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the foreign and U.S. State operations.  The Company paid cash taxes of $3 million, $2 million and $2 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	We adopted the provisions of the Income Taxes standard of the Codification. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with guidance provide by FASB and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Our policy to include interest and penalties related to gross unrecognized tax benefits within our provision for income taxes did not change.
	The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits from year-end fiscal 2012 to year-end fiscal 2013:
		2013		2012
	Beginning unrecognized tax benefits	$	8	$	33
	Gross increases – tax positions in prior periods		6		2
	Gross decreases – tax positions in prior periods		-		-25
	Gross increases – current period tax positions		1		-
Settlements		-1		-
Lapse of statute of limitations		-		-2
Ending unrecognized tax benefits	$	14	$	8
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $7 million and $5 million for fiscal year-end 2013 and 2012.
As of fiscal year-end 2013, we had $1 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions.  Our penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.
We and our subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. Although we file U.S. Federal, U.S. State, and foreign tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is the U.S. The IRS has completed an examination of our 2003 tax year. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for U.S. Federal tax years 2010 and 2011.  Our 2004 - 2009 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS.  There are various other on-going audits in various other jurisdictions that are not material to our financial statements.
As of the end of fiscal 2013,  we had unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries including earnings that have been or are intended to be permanently reinvested for continued use in foreign operations, accordingly, no provision for US Federal or State income taxes has been provided thereon.  If distributed, those earnings would result in additional income tax expense at approximately the U.S. statutory rate.  Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred US income tax liability is not practicable due to the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation .  We have identified non U.S. funds from India that are not permanently reinvested and have recognized deferred tax liabilities for additional tax expense that we expect to incur upon repatriation of earnings that are not sourced from previously taxed income.

Retirement Plan	'
	9. Retirement Plan
	The Company maintains three defined benefit pension plans which cover certain manufacturing facilities. The Company also maintains a retiree health plan, which covers certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees and their spouses. Each of the three defined benefit plans and the retiree health plan are frozen plans. The Company uses fiscal year-end as a measurement date for the retirement plans.
	The Company sponsors two defined contribution 401(k) retirement plans covering substantially all employees. Contributions are based upon a fixed dollar amount for employees who participate and percentages of employee contributions at specified thresholds. Contribution expense for these plans was $7 million, $7 million, and $6 million for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	The Company participates in one multiemployer plan. Contributions to the plan are based on specific percentages of employee compensation and are immaterial.
	The projected benefit obligations of the Company's plans presented herein are equal to the accumulated benefit obligations of such plans. The tables below exclude the obligations related to the foreign plans. The net liability for foreign plans is  $3 million. The net amount of liability recognized is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	At the end of fiscal 2013 the Company had $20 million of net unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects $0 to be realized in fiscal 2014.
	The following table presents significant weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation and benefit cost for the fiscal years ended:
		Defined Benefit Pension Plans		Retiree Health Plan
	(Percents)	2013	2012	2013	2012
	Weighted-average assumptions:
	Discount rate for benefit obligation	4.5	3.6	3.1	2.4
	Discount rate for net benefit cost	3.6	4.4	2.4	4.5
	Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs	8	8	8	8
	In evaluating the expected return on plan assets, Berry considered its historical assumptions compared with actual results, an analysis of current market conditions, asset allocations, and the views of advisors. The return on plan assets is derived from
	target allocations and historical yield by asset type. Health-care-cost trend rates were assumed to increase at an annual rate of 7.0% in 2013 and thereafter. A one-percentage-point change in these assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a material impact on our postretirement benefit obligation.
	In accordance with the guidance from the FASB for employers' disclosure about postretirement benefit plan assets the table below discloses fair values of each pension plan asset category and level within the fair value hierarchy in which it falls. There were no material changes or transfers between level 3 assets and the other levels.

The Company's retirement plan assets are invested with the objective of providing the plans the ability to fund current and future benefit payment requirements while minimizing annual Company contributions. The plans' asset allocation strategy reflects a long-term growth strategy with approximately 40-50% allocated to growth investments and 40-50% allocated to fixed income investments and 5-10% in other, including cash. The retirement plans held $1 million of the Company's stock at the end of fiscal 2013. The Company re-addresses the allocation of its investments on a regular basis.

	10. Restructuring and Impairment Charges
	The Company announced various restructuring plans in the last three fiscal years which included shutting down facilities in all four of the Company's operating segments.
	During fiscal 2011, the Company announced the intention to shut down two facilities within its Engineered Materials division. The affected business accounted for approximately $106 million of annual net sales with the majority of the operations transferred to other facilities. The Company also announced its intention to shut down a manufacturing location within its Flexible Packaging division. The affected business accounted for approximately $24 million of annual net sales with the majority of the operations transferred to other facilities. The Company also announced its intention to shut down a manufacturing location within its Rigid Closed Top division. The affected business accounted for approximately $14 million of annual net sales with the majority of the operations transferred to other facilities. The Company recorded $35 million of non-cash asset impairment costs in fiscal 2011 related to these restructuring plans and has been reported as Restructuring and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These impairments were for buildings and equipment that exceeded net realizable value as of the valuation dates.
	During fiscal 2012, the Company announced the intention to shut down three facilities one each in Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Materials and Flexible Packaging divisions. The affected Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Materials, and Flexible Packaging businesses accounted for approximately $14 million, $71 million, and $24 million of annual net sales, with the majority of the operations transferred to other facilities. During the first fiscal quarter the Company made the decision to exit certain operations in the Engineered Materials division. This decision resulted in non-cash impairment charges of $17 million related to certain customer lists deemed to have no further value and is recorded in Restructuring and impairment charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The exited operations were immaterial to the Company and Engineered Materials segment.
	During fiscal 2013, the Company made the decision to exit certain operations in the Engineered Materials division.

	In connection with Apollo's acquisition of the Company, we adopted an equity incentive plan pursuant to which options to acquire up to 7,071,337 shares of the Company's common stock may be granted. Prior to fiscal 2011, the plan was amended to allow for an additional 5,267,500 options to be granted.
	In connection with the initial public offering, the Company adopted the Berry Plastics Group, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of up to 9,297,750 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards.

	14. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
	Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income or loss per share when their effect is dilutive. The Company's redeemable common stock is included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for calculating basic and diluted net income or loss per share.
	The following tables and discussion provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations. The calculation below provides net income or loss on both basic and diluted basis for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011 (in thousands).

	Other common stock equivalents		5,968		3,209		-
	Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding--diluted		119,454		86,644		84,121

	Diluted net income (loss) per share available to common shareholders	$	0.48	$	0.02	$	(3.55	)
	The conversion of stock options is not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as of the end of fiscal 2011 as the effect of these conversions would be antidilutive to the net loss available to common shareholders. Thus, the weighted-average common equivalent shares used for purposed of computing diluted EPS are the same as those used to compute basic EPS for these periods. Shares excluded from the calculation as the effect of their conversion into shares of our common stock would be antidilutive were 10,826,232 as of the end of fiscal 2011.

	Graphic Packaging
	On September 30, 2013, the Company acquired Graphic Packaging's flexible plastics and films business ("Graphic") for a purchase price of $62 million. Graphic is a producer of wraps, films, pouches, and bags for the food, medical, industrial, personal care, and pet food markets. The newly acquired business will be operated in the Company's Flexible Packaging Division. To finance the purchase, the Company used cash on hand and existing credit facilities. The Graphic acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price will be allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
	2014 Cost Reduction Plan
	In November 2013, the Company initiated a cost reduction plan designed to deliver meaningful cost savings and optimal equipment utilization. This plan will result in several plant rationalizations. The costs associated with this plan will primarily consist of one-time costs associated with facility consolidation, including severance and termination benefits for employees of approximately $6 million, other costs associated with exiting facilities of approximately $30 million and non-cash asset impairment charges of approximately $11 million. In addition, as part of this cost reduction plan the Company estimates it will incur capital expenditures of approximately $13 million. Overall these facility restructuring programs are projected to generate approximately $27 million of annual operating savings when fully implemented. These amounts are preliminary estimates based on the information currently available to management. The plan is expected to be fully implemented by the end of fiscal 2014.

The effect of the stock split on outstanding shares and earnings per share has been retroactively applied to all periods presented. Transaction fees totaling $33 million were included in Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Proceeds, net of transaction fees, of $438 million and cash from operations were used to repurchase $455 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 2016. As part of the repurchase the Company paid premiums of $13 million and wrote-off $3 million of deferred financing fees.
	In connection with the initial public offering, the Company entered into an income tax receivable agreement ("TRA") that provides for the payment to pre-initial public offering stockholders, option holders and holders of our stock appreciation rights, 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that are actually realized (or are deemed to be realized in the case of a change of control) as a result of the utilization of our and our subsidiaries' net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the initial public offering. The Company expects to pay between $313 million and $360 million in cash related to this agreement. This range is based on the Company's assumptions using various items, including valuation analysis and current tax law. The Company recorded an obligation of $313 million which was recognized as a reduction of Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the estimated TRA obligation will be recorded as Other expense (income) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Payments under the TRA are not conditioned upon the parties' continued ownership of the Company.
Secondary Public Offerings	'
	Secondary Public Offerings
	In April 2013, we completed a secondary public offering in which certain funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC ("Apollo") and Graham Partners ("Graham") sold 18,975,000 shares of common stock at $17.00 per share, which included 2,475,000 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares. The selling stockholders received proceeds from the offering, which, net of underwriting fees, totaled $311 million. The Company received no proceeds and incurred fees of $1 million related to this offering.
	In July 2013, we completed a secondary public offering in which certain funds affiliated with Apollo and Graham sold 17,250,000 shares of common stock at $21.63 per share, which included 2,250,000 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares. The selling stockholders received proceeds from the offering, which, net of underwriting fees, totaled $360 million. The Company received no proceeds and incurred fees of $1 million related to this offering.
Basis Of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	Periods presented in these financial statements include fiscal periods ending September 28, 2013 ("fiscal 2013"), September 29, 2012 ("fiscal 2012"), and October 1, 2011 ("fiscal 2011"). Berry, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries operates in four primary segments: Rigid Open Top, Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Materials, and Flexible Packaging. The Company's customers are located principally throughout the United States, without significant concentration in any one region or with any one customer. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company's fiscal year is based on fifty-two or fifty-three week periods. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
Reclassification Adjustments	'
	Reclassification Adjustments
	Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company historically presented Other operating expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations, which consisted predominately of business optimization costs and management fees to affiliates of Apollo and Graham. The Company has eliminated separate presentation of Other operating expenses from its Consolidated Statements of Operations to better align with the way the Company is reviewing its operating results. The Company incurred business optimization costs of $16 million, $32 million and $31 million in fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively and are included in Cost of goods sold. The Company recorded management fees of $9 million in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively and are included in Selling, general and administrative expense. The Company's management fee agreement with Apollo and other investors terminated upon completion of the initial public offering.
Consolidation	'
	Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of consolidated subsidiaries is less than 100% the non-controlling interests are reflected in stockholders' equity.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer (either when the products reach the free-on-board shipping point or destination depending on the contractual terms), there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in gross sales to arrive at net sales. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition standards of the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC"), the Company provides for these items as reductions of revenue at the later of the date of the sale or the date the incentive is offered. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience.
	Shipping, handling, purchasing, receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and other costs of distribution are presented in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company classifies amounts charged to its customers for shipping and handling in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Vendor Rebates, Purchases Of Raw Materials And Concentration Of Risk	'
	Vendor Rebates, Purchases of Raw Materials and Concentration of Risk
	The Company receives consideration in the form of rebates from certain vendors. The Company accrues these as a reduction of inventory cost as earned under existing programs, and reflects as a reduction of cost of goods sold at the time that the related underlying inventory is sold to customers.
	The largest supplier of the Company's total resin material requirements represented approximately 20% of purchases in fiscal 2013. The Company uses a variety of suppliers to meet its resin requirements.
Research And Development	'
	Research and Development
	Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $28 million, $25 million, and $20 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The compensation guidance of the FASB requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements based on alternative fair value models. The share-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company's share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 12. The Company recorded total stock compensation expense of $16 million, $2 million, and $2 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	In August 2013, the Company recorded an $8 million stock compensation charge related to certain modifications to the Berry Plastics Group Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the Berry Plastics Group, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), and amended outstanding non-qualified stock option agreements to reflect such modifications. The modifications, include (i) accelerated vesting of all unvested options upon an employee's death or permanent disability (ii) in the event of an employee's qualified retirement, continuation of the normal vesting period applicable to the retiree's unvested options, as well as an extension of the exercise period to the end of the original ten-year term of the retiree's vested options and (iii) all unvested options and stock appreciation rights that were subject to performance-based vesting criteria as of January 1, 2013 (excluding certain IRR performance-based options) were modified to time-based vesting.
	The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock options. The model allows for the use of a range of assumptions. Expected volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model are based on implied volatilities from traded stocks of peer companies. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and the estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company's options have a ten year contractual life. For purposes of the valuation model in fiscal 2013, the Company used the simplified method for determining the granted options expected lives. The fair value for options granted has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model, with the following weighted average assumptions:
				Fiscal year
		2013		2012			2011
	Risk-free interest rate	0.6	%	0.6 - 0.9	%		1.3	%
	Dividend yield	0	%	0	%		0	%
	Volatility factor	0.38		0.38			.32-.34
	Expected option life	7 years		5 years			5 years
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency
	For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, the amounts of which are not material in any period presented are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	'
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company's accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts are analyzed in detail on a quarterly basis and all significant customers with delinquent balances are reviewed to determine future collectibility. The determinations are based on legal issues (such as bankruptcy status), past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and the experience of the credit representatives. Reserves are established in the quarter in which the Company makes the determination that the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company maintains additional reserves based on its historical bad debt experience. The following table summarizes the activity for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 for the allowance for doubtful accounts:
			2013			2012			2011
	Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning	$	3		$	4		$	4
	Bad debt expense		1			1			1
	Write-offs against allowance		(1	)		(2	)		(1	)
	Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending	$	3		$	3		$	4
Inventories	'
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts inventory is charged to manufacturing overhead expense when incurred. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Inventory as of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was:
	Inventories:		2013		2012
	Finished goods	$	335	$	306
	Raw materials		240		229
		$	575	$	535
Property, Plant And Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 25 years for buildings and improvements two to 10 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling and over the term of the agreement for capital. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company capitalized interest of $5 million, $5 million, and $3 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was:
	Property, plant and equipment:		2013			2012
	Land, buildings and improvements	$	302		$	281
	Equipment and construction in progress		2,241			2,019
			2,543			2,300
	Less accumulated depreciation		(1,277	)		(1,084	)
		$	1,266		$	1,216
Long-Lived Assets	'
	Long-lived Assets
	Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at the product line level in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment standard of the ASC whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset's carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows or appraisals as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are reported at the lower of the assets' carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the assets' disposition. We recorded impairment charges totaling $5 million, $20 million, and $35 million to write-down long-lived assets to their net realizable valuables during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 respectively.
Goodwill	'
	The Company follows the principles provided by the Goodwill and Other Intangibles standard of the ASC. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested annually for impairment. The Company performs their annual impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter in each respective fiscal year. For purposes of conducting our annual goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that we have five reporting units, Open Top, Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Films, Flexible Packaging and Tapes. Tapes and Engineered Films comprise the Engineered Materials operating segment. We determined that each of the components within our respective reporting units have similar economic characteristics and therefore should be aggregated. We reached this conclusion because within each of our reporting units, we have similar products and production processes which allow us to share assets and resources across the product lines. We regularly re-align our production equipment and manufacturing facilities in order to take advantage of cost savings opportunities, obtain synergies and create manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, we utilize our research and development centers, design center, tool shops, and graphics center which all provide benefits to each of the reporting units and work on new products that can not only benefit one product line, but can benefit multiple product lines. We also believe that the goodwill is recoverable from the overall operations of the unit given the similarity in production processes, synergies from leveraging the combined resources, common raw materials, common research and development, similar margins and similar distribution methodologies. In fiscal 2013, the Company applied the quantitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount. Based on our review of prior quantitative tests, changes in the carrying values, operating results, relevant market data and other factors we determined that no impairment is indicated and we did not perform a two-step impairment test. In fiscal 2012, we completed step 1 of the impairment test which indicated no impairment in any of our reporting units. In fiscal 2011 the Company completed the annual impairment and determined the carrying value of the Specialty Films division, which is now included in the Engineered Materials and Flexible Packaging exceeded its fair value. The Company performed the second step of its evaluation to calculate the impairment and as a result recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $165 million in Restructuring and impairment charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This impairment was primarily the result of a base volume decline of 11% in our Engineered Materials and Flexible Packaging segments. This base volume decline of 11% occurred because of a pricing strategy that we
	implemented in the second fiscal quarter of 2011. The $165 million impairment charge incurred in fiscal 2011 is the Company's only goodwill impairment charge.
	The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows:
			Rigid Open		Rigid Closed			Engineered			Flexible
			Top		Top			Materials			Packaging		Total
	Balance as of fiscal 2011	$	681	$	819		$	55		$	40	$	1,595

Deferred Financing Fees	'
	Deferred Financing Fees
	Deferred financing fees are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 11 to 20 years. Trademarks that are expected to remain in use, which are indefinite lived intangible assets, are required to be reviewed for impairment annually. Technology intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the technology which is 11 years. License intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the license which is 10 years. Patent intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the technology or the patent expiration date ranging from 10 to 20 years, with a weighted-average life of 15 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived tradenames and noted no impairment. As discussed in Note 10, the Company recorded a $5 million and $17 million impairment charge related to the exit of certain operations in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

Insurable Liabilities	'
	Insurable Liabilities
	The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers' compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated by utilizing actuarial valuations based upon historical claims experience.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company's effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the United States.
Comprehensive Loss	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive losses include net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability.
	The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (amounts below are net of taxes):
						Defined Benefit
			Currency			Pension and Retiree			Interest Rate			Accumulated Other
			Translation			Health Benefit Plans			Hedges			Comprehensive Loss
	Balance as of fiscal 2010	$	(11	)	$	(12	)	$	-		$	(23	)

Accrued Rebates	'
	Accrued Rebates
	The Company offers various rebates to customers based on purchases. These rebate programs are individually negotiated with customers and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. Certain rebates are calculated as flat percentages of purchases, while others included tiered volume incentives. These rebates may be payable monthly, quarterly, or annually. The calculation of the accrued rebate balance involves significant management estimates, especially where the terms of the
	rebate involve tiered volume levels that require estimates of expected annual sales. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. The accrual for customer rebates was $55 million and $68 million at the end of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Pension	'
	Pension
	Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. Periodically, the Company evaluates the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets in its defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans. In evaluating these assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of the discount rates, expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	'
	Net Income (Loss) Per Share
	The Company calculates basic net income (loss) per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income (loss) per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities.
Use Of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.
