Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Silgan

generally  accepted in the United States for interim  financial  information and
with  the   instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  the accompanying financial
statements  include all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation.  The results of operations for any
interim period are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations for
the full year.

The condensed  consolidated  balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived
from our audited financial  statements at that date, but does not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required by  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

You should read the  accompanying  financial  statements in conjunction with our
consolidated  financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included  in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Certain  prior year amounts have been  reclassified  to conform with the current
year's presentation.


Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Effective  January  1,  2002,  we  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards,  or SFAS,  No.  141,  "Business  Combinations,"  and  SFAS  No.  142,
"Goodwill  and Other  Intangible  Assets."  SFAS No. 141 revises the  accounting
treatment for business  combinations  to require the use of purchase  accounting
and   prohibit  the  use  of  the   pooling-of-interests   method  for  business
combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 revises the accounting
for goodwill to eliminate  amortization of goodwill on transactions  consummated
after June 30,  2001 and of all other  goodwill  as of  January  1, 2002.  Other
intangible  assets will continue to be amortized  over their useful lives.  SFAS
No.  142 also  requires  goodwill  and  other  intangibles  to be  assessed  for
impairment  each year and more frequently if  circumstances  indicate a possible
impairment.  SFAS No. 142 requires that an initial transitional  impairment test
be  performed  within  six  months of the date of  adoption.  During  the second
quarter of 2002, we completed the initial impairment test as of January 1, 2002,
and no impairment was noted.

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective  January  1,  2002,  we  adopted  SFAS No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes  SFAS No.
121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to be  Disposed  Of," and the  accounting  and  reporting  provisions  of
Accounting  Principles  Board,  or  APB,  No.  30,  "Reporting  the  Results  of
Operations - Reporting  the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business,  and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS
No. 144 provides updated guidance  concerning the recognition and measurement of
an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived  assets and expands the scope
of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity. The adoption of
SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not impact our financial position or results
of operations.

Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  (continued)

Extinguishment of Debt and Various Technical Corrections
- --------------------------------------------------------

In April 2002, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board, or FASB,  issued SFAS
No. 145,  "Rescission  of FASB  Statements  No. 4, 44 and 64,  Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4,
"Reporting  Gains and  Losses  from  Extinguishment  of Debt,"  and SFAS No. 64,
"Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145
also  rescinds  SFAS  No.  44  and  amends  SFAS  No.  13  and  other   existing
authoritative  pronouncements  to make various  technical  corrections,  clarify
meanings,   or  describe  their  applicability  under  changed  conditions.   In
accordance with SFAS No. 145, certain gains or losses on  extinguishment of debt
that were classified as extraordinary  items in prior periods are required to be
reclassified.  The  provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS
No. 4 and SFAS No. 64 are  effective  for us on January  1, 2003,  and all other
provisions are effective for  transactions  occurring after May 15, 2002. We are
currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities
- -------------------------------------------------

In June 2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated
with  Exit or  Disposal  Activities."  SFAS No.  146  addresses  accounting  and
reporting for costs  associated  with exit or disposal  activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 94-3, "Liability  Recognition for
Certain  Employee  Termination  Benefits  and  Other  Costs to Exit an  Activity
(including  Certain Costs Incurred in a  Restructuring)."  SFAS No. 146 requires
the  recognition of a liability for a cost  associated  with an exit or disposal
activity when the liability is incurred.  Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability
for an exit cost was recognized at the date an entity committed to an exit plan.
The  provisions of SFAS No. 146 are  effective  for exit or disposal  activities
that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

Note 3.  Rationalization (Credit) Charges and Acquisition Reserves

During the first  quarter of 2002,  certain  assets of our metal food  container
business with carrying values that were previously written down were placed back
in service.  As a result, we recorded a $2.3 million  rationalization  credit in
our Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Income,  and recorded those assets in
our Condensed  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets at their  depreciated  cost,  which
approximated  fair  value.  During  the first  quarter  of 2001,  we  recorded a
rationalization  charge of $3.5 million relating to closing our Fairfield,  Ohio
plastic container  manufacturing facility. This charge consisted of $2.6 million
for plant exit costs and $0.9 million for employee severance and benefits.

As part of our  plans  to  integrate  the  operations  of our  various  acquired
businesses, including the Food Metal and Specialty business of American National
Can  Company,  or AN  Can,  and  to  rationalize  certain  facilities,  we  have
established  reserves for employee severance and benefits,  plant exit costs and
acquisition liabilities. Except for certain contractual obligations, these costs
are  expected  to  be  incurred   primarily   through  2002.   Activity  in  our
rationalization  and acquisition  reserves since December 31, 2001 is summarized
as follows:




                                                                           Employee        Plant

Note 6.  Investment in Affiliate

Effective July 1, 2001, we formed a joint venture company with Schmalbach-Lubeca
AG (whose interest in the joint venture was recently  purchased by Amcor,  Ltd.)
that supplies an extensive  range of metal and plastic  closures to the food and
beverage industries in North America.  The joint venture operates under the name
Amcor White Cap LLC, or White Cap. We  contributed  certain metal closure assets
and  liabilities,  including our  manufacturing  facilities  in  Evansville  and
Richmond,  Indiana,  in return for a 35 percent interest in and $32.4 million of
cash proceeds from the joint venture.

We account for our investment in White Cap using the equity  method.  During the
second  quarter  of 2002,  we  recorded  equity  in  losses of White Cap of $1.2
million,  net of income  taxes.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2002,  we
recorded  equity in losses of White Cap of $1.8  million,  net of income  taxes.
These results  included $2.0  million,  net of income taxes,  for our portion of
White  Cap's  second  quarter  rationalization  charge to close a metal  closure
manufacturing facility and $0.7 million, net of income taxes, for our portion of
White  Cap's  gain on the sale of  certain  assets  at a price in excess of book
value.

9% Debentures
- -------------

On April 29, 2002,  we issued an  additional  $200 million  aggregate  principal
amount of our 9% Senior Subordinated  Debentures due 2009, or the 9% Debentures,
in a private  placement.  The newly issued 9% Debentures were an add-on issuance
under the  Indenture for our existing 9%  Debentures  originally  issued in June
1997.  The terms of the newly issued 9% Debentures are identical to the existing
9% Debentures issued in June 1997 except that the newly issued 9% Debentures are
subject to certain transfer restrictions until we complete a registered exchange
offer.

The issue price for the new 9%  Debentures  was 103  percent of their  principal
amount.  Net cash proceeds received from this issuance were  approximately  $202
million,  after deducting  selling  commissions and offering expenses payable by
us.  The net  proceeds  from this  issuance  were used to repay a portion of our
revolving  loan  obligations  under our  previous  U.S.  senior  secured  credit
facility, or the U.S. Credit Agreement.

Note 7.  Long-Term Debt  (continued)

Bank Credit Agreement
- ---------------------

On June 28, 2002, we completed the refinancing of our U.S.  Credit  Agreement by
entering into a new $850 million  senior  secured  credit  facility,  or the New
Credit  Agreement.  Our New Credit Agreement  provides us with $100 million of A
term loans,  $350  million of B term loans and up to $400  million of  revolving
loans.  Pursuant  to the  New  Credit  Agreement,  we also  have a $275  million
incremental uncommitted term loan facility.

Revolving  loans  may be used  for  working  capital  needs  and  other  general
corporate  purposes,  including  acquisitions.  Revolving loans may be borrowed,
repaid and  reborrowed  over the life of the New Credit  Agreement  until  their
final  maturity.  We are  required  to  maintain,  for at least one period of 30
consecutive days during each calendar year, total average  unutilized  revolving
loan  commitments of at least $90 million.  The A term loans and revolving loans
mature on June 28,  2008 and the B term  loans  mature  on  November  30,  2008.
Principal  on the A term  loans  and B term  loans is  required  to be repaid in
scheduled  annual  installments  during  each of the years  set forth  below and
amounts repaid may not be reborrowed (in thousands):

              Year             A Term Loans          B Term Loans

                                 ========              ========

The New Credit Agreement requires us to prepay term loans with proceeds received
from the incurrence of  indebtedness,  except  proceeds used to refinance  other
existing  indebtedness;  with proceeds  received from certain assets sales; and,
under certain circumstances, with 50 percent of our excess cash flow. Generally,
prepayments  are  allocated  pro rata to the A term  loans and B term  loans and
applied  first  to the  scheduled  amortization  payments  in the  year  of such
prepayments  and,  to the extent in excess  thereof,  pro rata to the  remaining
installments of term loans.

The incremental  uncommitted  term loan facility  provides,  among other things,
that any  incremental  term  loan  borrowing  shall be  denominated  in a single
currency,  either U.S.  dollars or certain foreign  currencies;  have a maturity
date no earlier  than the  maturity  date for the B term  loans;  and be used to
finance permitted  acquisitions,  refinance any indebtedness  assumed as part of
such permitted acquisition,  to refinance or repurchase subordinated debt and to
repay outstanding revolving loans.

Note 7.  Long-Term Debt  (continued)

Bank Credit Agreement (continued)
- ---------------------

Borrowings  under the New Credit  Agreement  may be  designated  as base rate or
Eurodollar  rate  borrowings.  The base rate is the higher of the prime  lending
rate of Deutsche Bank Trust Company  Americas or 1/2 of one percent in excess of
the  overnight  federal funds rate.  Initially,  the interest rate for all loans
under the New Credit  Agreement is the base rate plus a margin of one percent or
the Eurodollar  rate plus a margin of two percent.  After December 31, 2002, the
interest rate margin on base rate and Eurodollar  rate  borrowings will be reset
quarterly  based  upon our Total  Leverage  Ratio,  as defined in the New Credit
Agreement.

The New Credit  Agreement  provides for the payment of a commitment  fee ranging
from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent per annum on the daily average  unused portion
of commitments  available under the revolving  credit facility.  Initially,  the
commitment  fee will be 0.50 percent per annum.  After  December  31, 2002,  the
margin will be reset quarterly based on our Total Leverage Ratio.

We may utilize up to a maximum of $50 million of our revolving  credit  facility
under the New Credit  Agreement  for letters of credit as long as the  aggregate
amount of borrowings of revolving  loans and letters of credit do not exceed the
amount of the commitment under such revolving  credit  facility.  The New Credit
Agreement  provides for payment to the applicable  lenders of a letter of credit
fee equal to the applicable  margin in effect for revolving loans  maintained as
Eurodollar rate loans and to the issuers of letters of credit of a facing fee of
1/4 of one percent per annum,  calculated on the aggregate  stated amount of all
letters of credit.

The indebtedness  under the New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us and certain
of our U.S.  subsidiaries and is secured by a security interest in substantially
all of our  real  and  personal  property.  The  stock  of  certain  of our U.S.
subsidiaries  has also been  pledged as security  to the  lenders  under the New
Credit  Agreement.  The New Credit  Agreement  contains  certain  financial  and
operating covenants which limit, among other things, our ability and the ability
of our  subsidiaries  to grant  liens,  sell  assets and use the  proceeds  from
certain asset sales, make certain payments (including  dividends) on our capital
stock,  incur  indebtedness  or provide  guarantees,  make loans or investments,
enter into  transactions  with  affiliates,  make certain capital  expenditures,
engage in any business other than the packaging  business,  and, with respect to
our  subsidiaries,  issue stock. In addition,  we are required to meet specified
financial  covenants including Interest Coverage and Total Leverage Ratios, each
as defined in the New Credit Agreement.  We are currently in compliance with all
covenants under the New Credit Agreement.

Bank Credit Agreement (continued)
- ---------------------

At June 30, 2002, there were $157.7 million of revolving loans outstanding under
the New Credit Agreement related primarily to seasonal working capital needs. We
currently  expect to repay $157.7 million of revolving loans and $1.8 million of
term loans within one year.

As a result of this  refinancing,  we recorded an  extraordinary  charge of $0.6
million,  net of income taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter
of 2002 for the  write-off of  unamortized  financing  costs related to the U.S.
Credit Agreement.

Interest  Rate Swap  Agreement
- ----------------------------
In August 2002, we entered into an interest  rate swap  agreement for a notional
principal amount of $100 million. Under this agreement, we will pay a fixed rate
of interest of 2.525  percent and receive a floating  rate of interest  based on
three month LIBOR.  The  agreement is effective  starting in January of 2003 and
matures in July of 2004.



Note 8.  Business Segment Information

Historically,  we reported the results of our specialty  packaging business as a
separate  business  segment,  which  included our metal  closures,  Omni plastic
container,  Polystar easy-open plastic end and paperboard container  businesses.
As a result of the White Cap joint  venture on July 1, 2001, we no longer report
the  results  of our  remaining  specialty  packaging  businesses  as a separate
business  segment.  The  results  of the Omni  plastic  container  and  Polystar
easy-open  plastic  end  businesses  are  reported  with our  plastic  container
business, and the results of the paperboard container business are reported with
our metal food container  business.  The results of our metal closures business,
which was contributed to the White Cap joint venture,  are reported  separately.
Prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current presentation.

     (1)  Includes a  rationalization  credit of $2.3  million  recorded  in the
          first quarter of 2002 primarily  relating to certain assets previously
          written down that were placed back in service.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net Sales.  Consolidated net sales increased $10.8 million,  or 2.4 percent,  to
$456.2  million for the three  months  ended June 30,  2002,  as compared to net
sales of $445.4  million  for the same  three  months in the  prior  year.  This
increase  was the  result  of  higher  net  sales of the  metal  food  container
business,  partially  offset by the  impact of  contributing  the metal  closure
business  to the  White  Cap joint  venture  and lower net sales of the  plastic
container business.  Excluding second quarter 2001 net sales of $24.1 million of
the metal closure  business,  net sales for the second quarter of 2002 increased
$34.9 million, or 8.3 percent, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the metal food  container  business  were  $327.6  million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $37.6 million, or 13.0 percent,
from net sales of $290.0 million for the same period in 2001.  This increase was
primarily  attributable  to  higher  unit  volume,  partially  offset  by a less
favorable sales mix.

Net sales for the plastic  container  business  of $128.6  million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002  decreased  $2.7  million,  or 2.1 percent,  from net
sales of $131.3 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily
a result of lower  average  sales  prices due to the pass through of lower resin
costs, partially offset by higher unit volume.



                                      -21-




Cost of Goods  Sold.  Cost of goods sold was 87.4  percent of  consolidated  net
sales for the three months ended June 30,  2002,  an increase of 0.2  percentage
points as compared to 87.2 percent for the same period in 2001.  The decrease in
gross margin was primarily  attributable  to the metal food container  business,
which was impacted by a less  favorable  sales mix, costs incurred to absorb new
volume awarded and higher depreciation expense,  partially offset by an improved
product mix and increased productivity of the plastic container business and the
elimination of goodwill amortization.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses were $19.5 million,  or 4.3 percent of consolidated net
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $19.3 million, or
4.3  percent,  for  the  same  period  in  2001.  Higher  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses in the plastic container business were largely offset by
the impact of  contributing  the metal  closure  business to the White Cap joint
venture.

Income from  Operations.  Income from  operations for the second quarter of 2002
was $37.9 million, essentially flat as compared to the same period in 2001. This
was primarily a result of higher income from operations in the plastic container
business and the elimination of goodwill  amortization,  offset by the impact of
contributing  the  metal  closure  business  to the  White  Cap  joint  venture.
Excluding  income  from  operations  of the  metal  closure  business  that  was
contributed to the White Cap joint venture in 2001,  income from  operations for
the  second  quarter of 2002  increased  by $2.3  million,  or 6.5  percent,  as
compared to the same period in 2001.  Operating margin for the second quarter of
2002 decreased 0.2 percentage points to 8.3 percent,  as compared to 8.5 percent
for the same period in 2001. This decrease in operating margin was primarily the
result of lower margins in the metal food container  business,  partially offset
by higher margins in the plastic container business.

Income  from  operations  of the metal  food  container  business  in the second
quarter of 2002  increased  $0.4  million,  or 1.8 percent,  to $22.5 million as
compared  to $22.1  million  for the second  quarter of 2001.  Operating  margin
decreased 0.7 percentage  points to 6.9 percent in the second quarter of 2002 as
compared to 7.6 percent for the same period in 2001.  Income from  operations of
the metal food  container  business for the second quarter of 2001 included $0.6
million of goodwill  amortization.  The increase in income from  operations  was
principally  due to higher sales and the  elimination of goodwill  amortization,
largely  offset  by  costs  incurred  to  absorb  new  volume  awarded,   higher
depreciation   expense  and  start-up  costs  related  to  the   manufacture  of
convenience ends.

Income from operations for the plastic  container  business for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 increased $2.1 million, or 14.3 percent, to $16.8 million as
compared  to $14.7  million for the same period in 2001,  and  operating  margin
increased 1.9 percentage  points to 13.1 percent as compared to 11.2 percent for
the second  quarter of 2001.  Income from  operations  of the plastic  container
business  for the  second  quarter of 2001  included  $0.7  million of  goodwill
amortization.  The increase in income from  operations and operating  margin was
primarily a result of  improved  product  mix,  increased  productivity  and the
elimination of goodwill amortization.

Interest  Expense.  Interest expense decreased $2.8 million to $18.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The
decrease  in  interest  expense  was  a  result  of  lower  interest  rates  and
approximately  $100 million in lower average  borrowings as compared to the same
period in 2001.



                                      -22-




Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
2002  and 2001 was  recorded  at an  effective  annual  income  tax rate of 39.0
percent and 40.2 percent,  respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate
was  largely  due to the  discontinuation  of  goodwill  amortization  that  was
non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Net Income and Earnings per Share. Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was
$10.1  million,  or $0.55 per diluted  share,  as compared to net income of $7.4
million,  or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001. Net income
for the second quarter of 2002 included our portion of a rationalization  charge
of White Cap of $2.0  million,  net of tax,  or $0.11  per  diluted  share,  our
portion  of a gain on the sale of assets by White  Cap of $0.7  million,  net of
tax, or $0.04 per diluted share,  and an  extraordinary  charge of $0.6 million,
net of tax,  or $0.03  per  diluted  share,  for the  write-off  of  unamortized
financing costs as a result of the refinancing of our U.S. Credit Agreement. Net
income for the  second  quarter of 2001  included  equity in losses of  Packtion
Corporation,  or Packtion, a now dissolved e-commerce packaging venture, of $2.5
million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

Excluding  our  portion of both White Cap's  rationalization  charge and gain on
sale of assets  and the  extraordinary  charge in the  second  quarter  of 2002,
earnings for the second quarter of 2002 were $12.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted
share.  Excluding equity in losses of Packtion,  earnings were $10.0 million, or
$0.55 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001.

SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," required us
to eliminate the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. However, if
we continued to amortize  goodwill  during the second  quarter of 2002, we would
have recorded  additional  expense of approximately  $1.3 million,  or $0.04 per
diluted share.

Net Sales.  Consolidated  net sales decreased $8.4 million,  or 0.9 percent,  to
$880.5  million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to net sales
of $888.9  million for the same six months in the prior year.  This decrease was
the result of the impact of contributing the metal closure business to the White
Cap joint venture and lower sales of the plastic container  business,  partially
offset by higher sales of the metal food container business. Excluding net sales
for the first six months of 2001 of $46.2 million of the metal closure business,
net sales for the first six  months  of 2002  increased  $37.8  million,  or 4.5
percent, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the metal food container  business were $627.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $43.5 million,  or 7.5 percent,  from
net sales of $583.5  million  for the same  period in 2001.  This  increase  was
primarily attributable to higher unit volume.

Net sales for the  plastic  container  business  of $253.5  million  for the six
months ended June 30, 2002  decreased  $5.7  million,  or 2.2 percent,  from net
sales of $259.2 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily
a result of lower  average  sales  prices due to the pass through of lower resin
costs, partially offset by higher unit volume.

Cost of Goods  Sold.  Cost of goods sold was 87.5  percent of  consolidated  net
sales for the six months  ended June 30,  2002,  a  decrease  of 0.3  percentage
points as compared to 87.8 percent for the same period in 2001.  The increase in
gross margin was primarily attributable to an improved product mix and increased
productivity of the plastic  container  business and the elimination of goodwill
amortization,   partially   offset  by  a  less  favorable   sales  mix,  higher
depreciation  expense  and costs  incurred  to absorb new volume  awarded in the
metal food container business.



                                      -23-




Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses were $38.3 million,  or 4.4 percent of consolidated net
sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $38.0 million,  or
4.3  percent,  for  the  same  period  in  2001.  Higher  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses in the plastic container business were largely offset by
the impact of  contributing  the metal  closure  business to the White Cap joint
venture and lower selling, general and administrative expenses in the metal food
container business.

Income from Operations.  Excluding  rationalization  credits and charges in both
periods,  income from operations for the first six months of 2002 increased $1.5
million,  or 2.1 percent,  to $71.6 million, as compared to $70.1 million in the
same period in 2001.  This  increase was  primarily a result of higher sales and
income from operations in the metal food container business,  higher income from
operations in the plastic  container  business and the  elimination  of goodwill
amortization,  partially  offset by the impact of contributing the metal closure
business  to White Cap.  Excluding  rationalization  credits and charges in both
periods and income  from  operations  of the metal  closure  business  which was
contributed to the White Cap joint venture in 2001,  income from  operations for
the first six months of 2002  increased  by $4.8  million,  or 7.2  percent,  as
compared  to the same  period in 2001.  Excluding  rationalization  credits  and
charges,  operating  margin  for the  first  six  months  of 2002  improved  0.2
percentage points to 8.1 percent, as compared to 7.9 percent for the same period
in 2001.  This  increase in operating  margin was primarily the result of higher
margins  in  the  plastic   container   business.   Including   the  effects  of
rationalization  credits and charges,  income from  operations for the first six
months of 2002 increased  $7.3 million,  or 11.0 percent,  to $73.9 million,  as
compared to $66.6 million in the same period in 2001.

In the first  quarter  of 2002,  we  recorded a  rationalization  credit of $2.3
million  primarily  relating  to  certain  assets  of our metal  food  container
business  previously written down that were placed back in service. In the first
quarter of 2001, we recorded a  rationalization  charge of $3.5 million relating
to closing a plastic container manufacturing facility.

Excluding  the  rationalization  credit in 2002,  income from  operations of the
metal food  container  business in the first six months of 2002  increased  $3.5
million,  or 8.9 percent,  to $42.7 million as compared to $39.2 million for the
first six months of 2001, and operating margin  increased 0.1 percentage  points
to 6.8 percent as  compared  to 6.7 percent for the same period in 2001.  Income
from operations of the metal food container business for the first six months of
2001 included $1.2 million of goodwill amortization. The increase in income from
operations  and  operating  margin was  principally  due to higher sales and the
elimination of goodwill amortization, partially offset by a less favorable sales
mix,  higher  depreciation  expense  and costs  incurred  to absorb  new  volume
awarded.  Including the  rationalization  credit,  income from operations of the
metal food  container  business was $45.0 million and  operating  margin was 7.2
percent for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Excluding the  rationalization  charge in 2001,  income from  operations for the
plastic container business for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1.9
million,  or 6.4 percent,  to $31.6 million as compared to $29.7 million for the
same period in 2001, and operating  margin  increased 1.0  percentage  points to
12.5  percent  as  compared  to 11.5  percent  for the first six months of 2001.
Income from  operations  of the  plastic  container  business  for the first six
months of 2001 included $1.3 million of goodwill  amortization.  The increase in
income  from  operations  and  operating  margin  was  primarily  a result of an
improved  sales mix,  increased  productivity  and the  elimination  of goodwill
amortization.  Including the effect of the rationalization  charge,  income from
operations and operating  margin for the plastic  container  business were $26.2
million and 10.1 percent, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2001.



                                      -24-




Interest  Expense.  Interest expense decreased $9.2 million to $34.9 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.  The
decrease  in  interest  expense  was  a  result  of  lower  interest  rates  and
approximately  $100 million in lower average  borrowings as compared to the same
period last year.

Income  Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
2002  and 2001 was  recorded  at an  effective  annual  income  tax rate of 39.0
percent and 40.2 percent,  respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate
was  largely  due to the  discontinuation  of  goodwill  amortization  that  was
non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Net Income and Earnings  per Share.  Net income for the first six months of 2002
was $21.4 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $9.7
million,  or $0.54 per  diluted  share,  for the first six  months of 2001.  Net
income  for  the  first  six  months  of  2002   included  our  portion  of  the
rationalization  charge of White Cap of $2.0  million,  net of tax, or $0.11 per
diluted share, and our portion of the gain on the sale of assets by White Cap of
$0.7 million,  net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share.  Net income for the first
six months of 2002 also included a  rationalization  credit of $2.3 million,  or
$0.07 per  diluted  share,  and an  extraordinary  charge,  net of tax,  of $0.6
million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Net income for the first six months of 2001
included  equity in losses of  Packtion  of $3.8  million,  or $0.20 per diluted
share, and a rationalization charge of $3.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

Excluding  both our  portion of the  rationalization  charge and the gain on the
sale  of  assets  recorded  by  White  Cap and the  rationalization  credit  and
extraordinary  charge in 2002,  earnings  for the first six  months of 2002 were
$21.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share.  Excluding the rationalization charge
and equity in losses of  Packtion,  earnings  were $15.6  million,  or $0.86 per
diluted share, for the first six months of 2001.

SFAS No. 142 required us to eliminate  the  amortization  of goodwill  effective
January 1, 2002.  However, if we continued to amortize goodwill during the first
six months of 2002, we would have recorded  additional  expense of approximately
$2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating  activities
and borrowings under our revolving loan facilities.  Our liquidity  requirements
arise  primarily  from  our  obligations  under  the  indebtedness  incurred  in
connection  with our  acquisitions  and the  refinancing  of that  indebtedness,
capital investment in new and existing equipment and the funding of our seasonal
working capital needs.

On April 29, 2002,  we issued an  additional  $200 million  aggregate  principal
amount of our 9% Senior Subordinated  Debentures due 2009, or the 9% Debentures,
in a private  placement.  The newly issued 9% Debentures were an add-on issuance
under the  Indenture for our existing 9%  Debentures  originally  issued in June
1997.  The terms of the newly issued 9% Debentures are identical to the existing
9% Debentures issued in June 1997 except that the newly issued 9% Debentures are
subject to certain transfer restrictions until we complete a registered exchange
offer.

The issue price for the newly issued 9%  Debentures  was 103.0  percent of their
principal   amount.   Net  cash  proceeds   received  from  this  issuance  were
approximately  $202 million,  after deducting  selling  commissions and offering
expenses payable by us. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay a
portion of our revolving loan obligations under our previous U.S. senior secured
credit facility, or the U.S. Credit Agreement.





                                      -25-



On June 28, 2002, we completed the refinancing of our U.S.  Credit  Agreement by
entering into a new $850 million  senior  secured  credit  facility,  or the New
Credit  Agreement.  The New Credit Agreement  provides us with $100 million of A
term loans,  $350 million of B term loans and a revolving loan facility of up to
$400 million.  Under the New Credit  Agreement,  we may use revolving  loans for
working capital and other operating needs as well as for  acquisitions and other
permitted purposes.  The A term loans and revolving loan facility mature on June
28,  2008 and the B term  loans  mature on  November  30,  2008.  The New Credit
Agreement also provides us with an incremental uncommitted term loan facility of
up to an additional $275 million which may be used to finance  acquisitions  and
for other permitted purposes.

Under the New Credit  Agreement,  the interest rate for all loans will be either
the  Eurodollar  rate plus a margin or the prime  lending rate of Deutsche  Bank
Trust Company Americas plus a margin.  Initially,  the margin for the Eurodollar
rate loans will be two  percent  and the margin for prime rate loans will be one
percent. Starting in 2003, the margins are subject to adjustment quarterly based
upon financial  ratios.  Prior to the refinancing,  the interest rate for A term
loans and revolving  loans under our U.S.  Credit  Agreement was the  Eurodollar
rate plus a margin of one percent or the prime  lending  rate of  Deutsche  Bank
Trust Company Americas, and for B term loans an additional 0.5 percent.

As a result of the refinancing of our U.S. Credit  Agreement with the New Credit
Agreement and the net proceeds from the add-on issuance of our 9% Debentures, we
expect that our interest expense will increase during the second half of 2002 as
compared to the second half of 2001.

For the first six months of 2002, we used excess proceeds of $174.7 million from
the  issuance  of the 9%  Debentures  and the  refinancing  of the  U.S.  Credit
Agreement,  cash  balances  of $4.7  million  and  proceeds  from  stock  option
issuances  of $4.1  million to fund cash used in  operations  of $112.2  million
primarily for our seasonal  working capital needs,  net capital  expenditures of
$48.7  million,  debt issuance  costs of $21.1  million and other  repayments of
long-term debt of $1.5 million.

For the first six months of 2001, we used net  borrowings of revolving  loans of
$173.1 million under the U.S. Credit Agreement,  cash proceeds from White Cap of
$32.4 million and proceeds  from stock option  exercises of $0.3 million to fund
cash used by operations  of $123.9  million  primarily for our seasonal  working
capital needs, net capital  expenditures of $46.4 million, the repayment of $3.2
million of long-term  debt and our investment in Packtion of $3.0 million and to
increase cash balances by $29.1 million.

Because we sell metal containers used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we
have  seasonal  sales.  As is common in the  industry,  we must  access  working
capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers
beyond the end of the summer and fall  packing  season.  Seasonal  accounts  are
generally  settled  by year  end.  Due to our  seasonal  requirements,  we incur
short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements.

For 2002, we estimate that we will utilize  approximately  $190-$200  million of
revolving  loans under our senior  secured  credit  facilities for our month-end
peak seasonal working capital requirements.  We may use the available portion of
our revolving loan facilities,  after taking into account our seasonal needs and
outstanding letters of credit, for acquisitions and other permitted purposes.

As of June 30, 2002, we had $157.7 million of revolving loans  outstanding under
the New Credit  Agreement  which related  primarily to seasonal  working capital
needs.  The  unused  portion  of  revolving  loan  commitments  under our credit
agreements at June 30, 2002,  after taking into account  outstanding  letters of
credit, was $229.5 million.


                                      -26-




Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $70 million of our
Common Stock. As of June 30, 2002, we have  repurchased  2,708,975 shares of our
Common Stock for an aggregate cost of approximately  $61.0 million. We intend to
finance  future  repurchases,  if any, of our Common Stock with  revolving  loan
borrowings.

During the first  quarter of 2002,  certain  assets of our metal food  container
business with carrying values that were previously written down were placed back
in service.  As a result, we recorded a $2.3 million  rationalization  credit in
our Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Income,  and recorded those assets in
our Condensed  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets at their  depreciated  cost,  which
approximated  fair  value.  During  the first  quarter  of 2001,  we  recorded a
rationalization charge of $3.5 million relating to closing one plastic container
manufacturing   facility.   You  should  also  read  Note  3  to  our  Condensed
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We believe that cash  generated  from  operations  and funds from the  revolving
loans available under our senior secured credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet our expected operating needs,  planned capital  expenditures,  debt service
and  tax  obligations  for  the  foreseeable  future.  We are  also  continually
evaluating  and  pursuing  acquisition   opportunities  in  the  consumer  goods
packaging market and may incur additional  indebtedness,  including indebtedness
under our senior secured credit facilities, to finance any such acquisition.

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in the
instruments and agreements  governing our  indebtedness and believe that we will
continue to be in compliance with all such covenants during 2002.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets." SFAS No. 141 revises the
accounting  treatment for business  combinations  to require the use of purchase
accounting and prohibit the use of the pooling-of-interests  method for business
combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 revises the accounting
for goodwill to eliminate  amortization of goodwill on transactions  consummated
after June 30,  2001 and of all other  goodwill  as of  January  1, 2002.  Other
intangible  assets will continue to be amortized  over their useful lives.  SFAS
No.  142 also  requires  goodwill  and  other  intangibles  to be  assessed  for
impairment  each year and more frequently if  circumstances  indicate a possible
impairment.  SFAS No. 142 requires that an initial transitional  impairment test
be  performed  within  six  months of the date of  adoption.  During  the second
quarter of 2002, we completed the initial impairment test as of January 1, 2002,
and no impairment was noted.

Effective  January  1,  2002,  we  adopted  SFAS No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes  SFAS No.
121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," and the  accounting  and reporting  provisions of APB
No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of  a  Segment  of a  Business,  and  Extraordinary,  Unusual  and  Infrequently
Occurring  Events and  Transactions."  SFAS No. 144  provides  updated  guidance
concerning the  recognition  and  measurement of an impairment  loss for certain
types of long-lived assets and expands the scope of a discontinued  operation to
include a  component  of an entity.  The  adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1,
2002 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.



                                      -27-




In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,  "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64,  Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections."
SFAS  No.  145  rescinds   SFAS  No.  4,   "Reporting   Gains  and  Losses  from
Extinguishment  of  Debt,"  and SFAS No.  64,  "Extinguishment  of Debt  Made to
Satisfy  Sinking-Fund  Requirements." SFAS No. 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 44 and
amends  SFAS No.  13 and other  existing  authoritative  pronouncements  to make
various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability
under  changed  conditions.  In accordance  with SFAS No. 145,  certain gains or
losses on extinguishment of debt that were classified as extraordinary  items in
prior periods are required to be  reclassified.  The  provisions of SFAS No. 145
related to the  rescission of SFAS No. 4 and SFAS No. 64 are effective for us on
January  1,  2003,  and all other  provisions  are  effective  for  transactions
occurring  after May 15, 2002.  We are currently  evaluating  the impact of this
standard.

In June 2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated
with  Exit or  Disposal  Activities."  SFAS No.  146  addresses  accounting  and
reporting for costs  associated  with exit or disposal  activities and nullifies
EITF Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability  Recognition for Certain  Employee  Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity  (including  Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for a
cost  associated  with  an exit or  disposal  activity  when  the  liability  is
incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized
at the date an entity  committed to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146
are effective for exit or disposal  activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002.

Item 3.

         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
         ---------------------------------------------------------

Market  risks  relating  to our  operations  result  primarily  from  changes in
interest rates.  In the normal course of business,  we also have limited foreign
currency  risk  associated  with our  Canadian  operations  and risk  related to
commodity  price  changes for items such as natural  gas. We employ  established
policies and  procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.  Interest  rate,
foreign currency and commodity pricing  transactions are used only to the extent
considered  necessary  to meet  our  objectives.  We do not  utilize  derivative
financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Information  regarding our interest rate risk,  foreign  currency  exchange rate
risk and commodity  pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.  Since such filing,  there has
not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency rate risk
or  commodity  pricing  risk or to our  policies  and  procedures  to manage our
exposure to these risks,  except that we have entered into  additional  interest
rate swap agreements.  You should also read Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated
Financial  Statements  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
