NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.  General.

The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the company  without audit.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures,
including  significant  accounting  policies,  normally  included  in  financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted. However, the company believes that the financial
statements  reflect all adjustments  which are necessary for a fair statement of
the results for the interim period.  Results of operations for the periods shown
are not necessarily indicative of results for the year,  particularly in view of
some seasonality in packaging  operations.  It is suggested that these unaudited
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements and accompanying  notes should be
read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and the notes
thereto included in the company's latest annual report.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles 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
reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Future
events could affect these estimates.

2.  Restatement.

With the sale of the company's  investment in Ball-Foster  Glass  Container Co.,
L.L.C.  (Ball-Foster),  the company no longer participates in the manufacture of
glass packaging containers.  Accordingly,  the accompanying  Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and notes have been  restated  from amounts
previously  reported to segregate the financial  effects of the commercial glass
packaging  business  as  discontinued  operations.  See  Note 3 -  "Discontinued
Operations", for more information.

3.  Discontinued Operations.

Effective October 1, 1996, the company sold its remaining 42-percent interest in
Ball-Foster, a manufacturer of glass containers, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Saint-Gobain  Corporation  for  approximately  $190 million in cash. The company
expects to report a fourth  quarter gain from the sale of this  investment.  The
following  table  provides   summary  income   statement  data  related  to  the
discontinued glass business.

                                                 ------------------   ---------------  ------------------   ---------------


The  year-to-date  1996 net  loss  attributable  to the  company's  interest  in
Ball-Foster  includes a provision for costs  associated  with the closure of two
glass   manufacturing   facilities  that  were  previously  owned  by  Ball  and
amortization  of  moulds  previously  capitalized  by  the  Foster-Forbes  glass
business.  Ball's  share of  Ball-Foster's  net loss was more than offset by the
release of related  reserves during the second quarter,  which had been provided
by Ball in  connection  with the sale of the glass  business to  Ball-Foster  in
1995, and that Ball has since determined are no longer required. Included in the
1995 loss attributable to previously  consolidated Ball Glass operations for the
quarter and  year-to-date  periods is a charge of $113.3  million in  connection
with the sale of  substantially  all of the assets of Ball Glass  Container  Co.
(Ball Glass), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ball, to Ball-Foster.

4. Subsequent Event.

On November 8,1996,  the company  announced that it had signed an agreement with
Lam  Soon  (Hong Kong)  Limited to  acquire  Lam Soon's controlling  interest in
M.C.  Packaging  (Hong  Kong)  Limited  for   approximately   $73 million.   The
acquisition,  which   will  be  made  through  the   company's  Hong  Kong-based
subsidiary,  FTB  Packaging  Limited  (FTB), is expected to close early in 1997,
subject to having received certain approvals.

M.C.  Packaging produces two-piece aluminum beverage cans as well as three-piece
steel beverage and general  purpose cans and plastic  packaging  products.  M.C.
Packaging has 14 manufacturing sites, one in Hong Kong and 13 through affiliates
in the  People's  Republic of China (PRC),  with an estimated 19 percent  market
share of beverage cans in the PRC and a 50 percent  beverage can market share in
Hong Kong. Sales in 1995 were $195 million.  FTB currently operates seven plants
in China,  primarily  producing  beverage  cans and ends,  with an  estimated 30
percent market share.

Subsequent to the acquisition of the controlling  interest in M.C. Packaging,  a
general  offer  will  be made  to  acquire  outstanding  public  shares  of M.C.
Packaging.  If all public shares are tendered,  Ball would ultimately  expect to
own, directly and indirectly, approximately 74 percent of M.C. Packaging.

5.  Shareholders' Equity.

Issued and outstanding  shares of the Series B ESOP Convertible  Preferred Stock
were  1,699,900  shares  at   September 29,  1996,   and   1,786,852  shares  at
December 31, 1995.

6.  Contingencies.
In the ordinary course of business,  the company is subject to various risks and
uncertainties  due, in part, to the highly  competitive nature of the industries
in which the company participates,  its operations in developing markets outside
the U.S.,  volatile costs of commodity  materials used in the manufacture of its
products,  and changing  capital markets.  Where possible and  practicable,  the
company attempts to minimize these risks and uncertainties.

From time to time,  the company is subject to routine  litigation  incidental to
its  business.  Additionally,  the  U.S.  Environmental  Protection  Agency  has
designated the company as a potentially  responsible  party, along with numerous
other companies,  for the cleanup of several hazardous waste sites. However, the
company's  information  at this time does not indicate  that these  matters will
have a material, adverse effect upon financial condition, results of operations,
capital expenditures or competitive position of the company.
