Exhibit 99.1

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Directors

Liquid Container Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liquid Container Inc. (a Delaware S-corporation) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liquid Container Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liquid Container Inc. (“LCI”), Liquid Container Limited Partnership (“LCLP”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Plaxicon Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plaxicon LLC, a California limited liability company (formerly Plaxicon, Inc., a California S Corporation), and Plaxicon Company, a California general partnership (all referred to herein as “Plaxicon”), collectively referred to as the “Company.” Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

LCI, a Delaware S Corporation, was formed on November 1, 1990, for the purpose of acting as managing general partner of LCLP. As managing general partner, LCI exclusively manages the properties, business and affairs of the LCLP, all decisions relating to the management and control of the conduct of the business of LCLP, including but not limited to decisions relating to acquisitions of additional businesses, distributions to the non-controlling partners, opening of bank accounts, refinancing of LCLP obligations, encumbering of LCLP property and selection of attorneys, accountants, appraisers and agents. LCI owns approximately 1.1% of the outstanding partnership units of the LCLP.

The Company designs, manufactures and sells high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene plastic containers primarily to the food, household chemical and automotive after-market industries throughout the United States. The Company has a long-term supply contract with one customer covering multiple products for multiple brands for five or more years that accounts for approximately 33%, 32% and 32% of its sales for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, sales rebates to customers, allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insurance liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, litigation, claims and contingencies and income taxes.

Marketable Investment Transactions

LCI has evaluated its investment portfolio and classified all investment securities as available-for-sale. Investments determined to be available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on the sale of such securities are determined using the specific identification method.

Non-controlling Interests

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, which changed the accounting for and the financial statement presentation of non-controlling equity interests in a consolidated subsidiary. The guidance replaced the existing minority-interest provisions by defining a new term, “non-controlling interests,” to replace what were previously called minority interests. The new guidance establishes non-controlling interests as a component of the equity of a consolidated entity. The underlying principle of the new guidance is that both the

LIQUID CONTAINER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

controlling interest and the non-controlling interests are part of the equity of a single economic entity: the consolidated reporting entity. Classifying non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated equity is a change from the previous practice of treating minority interests as a mezzanine item between liabilities and equity or as a liability. The change affects both the accounting and financial reporting for non-controlling interests in a consolidated subsidiary. The reporting requirements are intended to clearly identify and differentiate the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009, and the reporting and disclosure requirements were applied retrospectively to prior periods.

Included in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidated statements of cash flows as non-cash transactions is $30,245,269 and $20,903,875 in recovery of distributions to non-controlling interest in excess of basis, which was related to the recovery of distributions made prior to 2007. At that time, distributions in excess of the non-controlling interest basis were charged to operations as a result of the non-controlling interest holders having no contractual obligation to return such amounts to fund operations or to restore any capital deficits.

The non-controlling interests of LCLP include its non-managing general partners and limited partners, some of which are related to the managing general partner. Had the Company continued to account for income under the previously existing accounting standards, net income attributable to the controlling interests for 2009 would have been $18,689,222.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded when all of the following have occurred: an agreement of a sale exists, product delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Management is required to make judgments about whether pricing is fixed or determinable and whether or not collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company records accruals for sales rebates to certain customers at the time of shipment based upon historical experience. Management periodically reviews actual rebate experience in relation to historical experience and makes any necessary adjustments to the accrual. Changes in allowances may be required if future rebates differ from historical experience.

Accounts Receivable

Credit is extended based on the evaluation of a customer’s financial condition. Collateral is generally not required. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows as of December 31:


	2009			2008
Beginning balance	$	300,000		$	300,000
Write-offs, net of recoveries		49,196			(7,920	)
Provision for bad debts		(283,874	)		7,920

Ending balance	$	65,322		$	300,000

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

Inventories

The Company’s inventories, which consist of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market using a method that approximates the first-in, first-out method for materials and the average-cost method for labor and overhead components. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory are made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, historical usage and market conditions.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


	Years
Buildings		30 - 33
Machinery and equipment		3 - 15
Office furniture and fixtures		3 - 10

Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method based upon the expected useful lives of the improvements or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense.

Deferred Financing Costs

All costs and fees related to the Senior Credit Facility, Variable Revenue Bonds and Notes Payable have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the lives of the debt instruments.

Goodwill

As part of the 1996 acquisition of Plaxicon, the Company recorded goodwill of $16,654,345 which, until January 1, 2002, was amortized over 25 years. In connection with the 1999 acquisition of the manufacturing division of United States Container Corporation, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $7,430,961.

The Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives annually for impairment and found no instances of impairment of the recorded goodwill. The Company performed this testing assuming that the Company has only one reporting unit.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. Management determines fair value using discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company has not experienced impairments of long-lived assets during any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

LCI 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 in the principal or most advantageous

LIQUID CONTAINER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

market for the asset or liability. Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. The Company established a three-tiered hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market 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 are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including the following:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Inputs other than quoted prices that is observable for the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability (including the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

LCI’s management uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of investments.

Marketable securities consist of investments in corporate, governmental agencies, and municipal bonds. The maturity dates of the marketable securities—fixed income typically range from two months to two years.

Money market funds are valued at their close price at the end of the day on the last business day of the year. Marketable securities—fixed income, with the exception of money market funds, are valued using available observable market information through processes such as benchmark curves, market quotations of similar securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing.

The following table presents the investments carried on the consolidated statements of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity by level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to value them at December 31, 2008:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Money market funds	$	472,181	$	—	$	—	$	472,181
Marketable securities—fixed income		—		804,940		—		804,940

	$	472,181	$	804,940	$	—	$	1,277,121

Other Comprehensive Income

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

and are not reported as a separate component of equity. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, accumulated other comprehensive income includes one component: the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities.

Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting the statement of cash flows, the Company includes all cash accounts, excluding money market accounts embedded in marketable securities, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties as cash on the accompanying balance sheets.

Income Taxes

LCI, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which LCI is not subject to Federal income taxes. LCI is subject to certain state taxes. The income of the LCI is taxed to its shareholders by inclusion in the respective shareholder’s income tax returns.

As a limited partnership, the taxable income or loss of LCLP is allocated and included in its partners’ tax returns, except for certain state taxes.

Plaxicon is a C Corporation and is, therefore, subject to income tax. Plaxicon recognizes deferred income taxes for the consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB clarified guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, guidance was provided on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

In December 2008, the FASB permitted certain entities to defer the effective date to annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

The Company adopted the provisions on January 1, 2009. Previously, the Company had recorded for tax contingencies when amounts were estimable and probable to occur. Under the new guidance, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied the guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2009, there was no liability for uncertain tax positions recorded on the accompanying balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturities. The carrying values of long-term bank obligations approximate their fair values because the effective interest rates on those obligations reflect current market rates.

Freight

The Company records freight billed to customers as net sales, with freight costs recorded as cost of goods sold.

Research and Development

Research and development expense was $833,063, $253,036 and $44,238 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

2. Inventories

Inventory amounts as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, were as follows and include a reserve of obsolete inventories of $667,341 and $1,081,776, respectively, which is fully allocated to finished goods:

Senior Credit Facility

In September 2007, the Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended to provide for a revolving credit loan up to $175,000,000 in the aggregate, which includes a $25,000,000 letter of credit sub-limit, and a $100,000,000 term loan. The amended Senior Secured Credit Facility bears interest at prime or the Eurodollar rate plus certain percentages based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the Company’s option (1.20% and 2.23% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively). Other terms and conditions were not materially changed.

The amended and extended Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by the assets of the Company and matures September 30, 2012. The agreement provides for annual principal payments on the Term Loan based on Excess Cash Flow, as defined, and scheduled principal payments beginning September 30, 2009, as follows:


Payment Date		Scheduled Principal Payment on Term Loan
September 30, 2010		$8,692,580
September 30, 2011		13,038,870
September 30, 2012		Remaining unpaid principal

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has utilized $10,630,077 and $10,630,077, respectively, of the current and former Senior Secured Credit Facilities for letters of credit. The letters of credit secure the Variable Revenue Bonds and workers’ compensation insurance deductibles. The Variable Revenue Bonds mature in 2015, and the balance is due at that time. Interest rates are determined weekly (0.25% and 1.28% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively).

Loan Covenants

The current and former Senior Credit Facilities contain covenants customary for those types of agreements including, but not limited to, restrictions on additional indebtedness, repurchase of partnership units, capital expenditures, leverage ratio, disposition of assets, distributions to shareholders and restrictions on change in control of the Company. The most restrictive covenants are minimum consolidated tangible net worth and total funded indebtedness, as defined, to consolidated EBITDA. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

5. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, is comprised of the following:


	2009			2008		2007
Current:
Federal	$	1,702,260		$	1,624,695	$	1,270,737
State		787,288			635,867		461,602

		2,489,548			2,260,562		1,732,339
Deferred:
Federal		(67,218	)		192,835		(331,779	)
State		(10,478	)		36,188		(91,866	)

		(77,696	)		229,023		(423,645	)

	$	2,411,852		$	2,489,585	$	1,308,694

Temporary differences which give rise to the net deferred income tax liability are as follows:


	2009			2008
Deferred tax liability:
Partnership basis	$	(3,319,121	)	$	(3,396,817	)

Non-current deferred tax liability	$	(3,319,121	)	$	(3,396,817	)

The difference between the Federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective rate is primarily due to the Company’s income not being subject to all Federal and most state tax as it is a partnership.

The 2008 Plaxicon income taxes were under review by the Internal Revenue Service, the results of which provided for no material adjustments.

The following table reconciles the statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate:


	2009			2008			2007
Statutory tax rate		34.00	%		34.00	%		34.00	%
Income not subject to Federal income tax		(30.67	)		(29.28	)		(31.27	)
State income tax, net of Federal tax benefit		1.48			1.62			1.08

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist that may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they arise from guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

8. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all full-time employees of Liquid Container and Plaxicon who have completed at least one year of service.

The retirement plan also has a 401(k) provision for the benefit of employees. Contributions are made by employees through pretax reductions of their salaries. Liquid Container contributes $0.50 for each $1.00 of employee contribution to the retirement plan, up to 4% of eligible compensation. Matching contributions for 2009, 2008 and 2007 totaled $813,663, $781,994 and $743,812, respectively.

The Company has a performance unit plan for which certain senior managers of the Company are eligible to participate. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded expenses for the plan totaling $430,547, $660,040 and $324,997, respectively. Under the terms of the plan, the Board of Directors has the discretion to grant phantom partner units to key employees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE A—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

WCK-L Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware S Corporation, was formed on November 8, 1990, for the purpose of investing in and acting as a general partner for Liquid Container, LP (“LCLP”) and other general investing activities.

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash and short-term investments, excluding money market accounts that are embedded in marketable securities, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The uninsured balance aggregated to $-0- at December 31, 2009 and 2008. Cash is deposited with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Investment Securities

The Company has evaluated its investment portfolio and classified all investment securities as available-for-sale. Investments determined to be available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on the sale of such securities are determined using the specific identification method.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company 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 in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. The Company established a three-tiered hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market 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 are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

WCK-L HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Inputs other than quoted prices that is observable for the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability (including the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The Company’s management uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of investments:

The following table presents the investments carried on the combined statements of assets, liabilities and shareholder’s equity by level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to value them, as of December 31, 2008:


	2008
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Money market funds	$	363,827	$	—	$	—	$	363,827
Marketable securities—fixed income		—		907,060		—		907,060

Total	$	363,827	$	907,060	$	—	$	1,270,887

Cost Method Investments

The Company has a 1.1255% investment in LCLP representing 10,000 units with an original cost of $94,200 that is accounted for using the cost method as the Company does not have significant influence and the investment is not marketable. Dividends received from LCLP that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of LCLP are recorded as dividend income. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the investment in LCLP is $-0-.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, other than investments, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets.

Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise from non-shareholder transactions impacting shareholder’s equity that are not included in the statements of income and are not reported as a separate component of equity. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, accumulated other comprehensive income includes one component: the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on

WCK-L HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

investment securities. Comprehensive income of $315,840, $132,142 and $181,131 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, includes net income and net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities.

Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting the statements of cash flows, the Company includes all cash accounts, excluding the money market accounts embedded in marketable securities, that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties as cash on the accompanying balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company, with the consent of its shareholder, has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which the Company is not subject to Federal income taxes. The income of the Company is allocated and taxed to its shareholder by inclusion in his respective individual income tax return. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes, as presented in the accompanying statements of income, consists of entity level state taxes payable by S Corporations. Additionally, there are no deferred taxes provided for temporary differences between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) clarified guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, guidance was provided on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009. Previously, the Company recorded tax contingencies when amounts were estimable and probable to occur. Under the new guidance, the Company recognized the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. Due to the election of Subchapter S Corporation status, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there was no liability for uncertain tax positions recorded on the accompanying balance sheet.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

NOTE A—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

CPG-L Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware S-Corporation, was formed on November 8, 1990, for the purpose of investing in and acting as a general partner for Liquid Container, LP (“LCLP”).

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash and short-term investments, excluding money market accounts embedded in marketable securities, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The uninsured balance aggregated to approximately $-0- and $1,581,302 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash is deposited with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets.

Cost Method Investments

The Company has a 0.6753% investment in LCLP that is accounted for using the cost method as the Company does not have significant influence and the investment is not marketable. Dividends received from LCLP that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of LCLP are recorded as dividend income. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the investment in LCLP is $-0-.

Statements of Cash Flows

Income Taxes

The Company, with the consent of its shareholder, has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which the Company is not subject to Federal income taxes. The income of the Company is allocated and taxed to its shareholder by inclusion in his respective individual income tax return. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes, as presented in the accompanying statements of income, consists of entity-level state taxes payable by S Corporations. Additionally, there are no deferred taxes provided for temporary differences between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities.
