Exhibit 99.2

         Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated  condensed  financial  statements
give effect to the  acquisition  of  CarnaudMetalbox  ("CMB") under the purchase
method of accounting.  The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  balance
sheet combines the historical  consolidated  balance sheets of Crown Cork & Seal
Company,  Inc.  ("Crown") and CMB giving effect to the  acquisition as if it had
occurred on December 31, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed
statement  of  operations  for the year ended  December  31, 1995  combines  the
historical  consolidated statements of operations of Crown and CMB giving effect
to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1995.

The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  are for
illustrative  purposes only and have been presented to meet the  requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  They are not necessarily  indicative of
the results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition  actually
taken place on January 1, 1995 or the actual financial  position that might have
resulted had the acquisition been consummated on December 31, 1995, or of future
results of operations or financial position of Crown.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are based on
the historical  consolidated financial statements of Crown and CMB and should be
read in  conjunction  with such  historical  financial  statements and the notes
thereto,  which are, in the case of CMB,  included as Exhibit  99.1 to this Form
8-K (the "CMB  Financial  Statements"),  and,  in the case of Crown,  filed with
Crown's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain
reclassifications  have been  made to CMB's  historical  consolidated  financial
statements to conform with the presentation of Crown's  historical  consolidated
financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  Furthermore,  the
historical  financial statements for CMB, prepared in accordance with French law
and presented in French francs,  have for purposes of preparing  these unaudited
pro forma consolidated  condensed financial  statements been conformed to comply
with U. S. GAAP and, in accordance  with SFAS No. 52, have been translated to U.
S. dollars at an assumed exchange rate equal to FF 4.982/$1.00 (the average 1995
rate) for the pro forma  statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1995 and FF  4.904/$1.00  (the December 31, 1995 closing rate) for the pro forma
balance  sheet as of  December  31,  1995.  See Note 1-B of the CMB's  Financial
Statements for the  reconciliation  of CMB's 1995,  1994 and 1993 net income and
shareholders' equity to U. S. GAAP. Such translations should not be construed as
representations  that  French  franc  amounts  represent,  have been or could be
converted  into U. S.  dollars at that or any other  rate.  The use of  exchange
rates  different  from  those  used  in the  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated
condensed  financial  statements could have a material impact on the information
presented therein.



  Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)


In accordance with the purchase  method of accounting,  the total purchase price
has been  allocated  to the  assets  and  liabilities  of CMB based  upon  their
relative  fair  values.  The  accompanying   unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated
condensed  financial  statements reflect the preliminary  allocation of purchase
price to assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, the final allocations will differ
from the amounts reflected herein.

The $3.2 billion pro forma excess of purchase price over net assets  acquired as
of December 31, 1995 is being  amortized  over 40 years at a rate of $80 million
per year, in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  which
require  that  acquired  intangibles  be  amortized  over lives not to exceed 40
years.  Crown  believes  that  the  intangible  assets  acquired,   representing
principally  CMB's customer base and CMB's European market  presence,  represent
assets with indefinite lives, which have historically  appreciated in value over
time. In addition,  the acquisition  will facilitate the continued  expansion of
current lines of business as well as the  development  of new businesses via the
cross-selling of packaging  product  offerings of both Crown and CMB to existing
and potential customers. Crown believes it will benefit from the acquisition for
a period of at least 40 years and, therefore,  a 40-year  amortization period is
considered appropriate.

Crown has  commenced  appraisals  and other studies of the  significant  assets,
liabilities and business operations of CMB. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed financial statements reflect the preliminary results of these reviews,
including Crown's initial estimate of known  restructuring  and  rationalization
efforts.  Crown  expects to incur  further  restructuring  costs and expenses in
connection with the acquisition which are not currently determinable.
 A final  allocation  of the purchase  price,  including  allocation to tangible
assets,  liabilities,  identifiable  intangible  assets  and  goodwill  will  be
completed during the year when appraisals,  other studies and additional reviews
are completed.

Crown will perform periodic reviews of the goodwill and other intangible  assets
arising  from the  acquisition,  to ensure that they are carried at  recoverable
amounts in light of current business conditions.

       NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

A.   To reflect the net decrease in depreciation and amortization expense due to
     (i)  amortization  of the excess  purchase  price over net tangible  assets
     acquired on a straight-line  basis over 40 years, net of elimination of CMB
     historical  amortization  of  excess  acquisition  costs  over  the  values
     assigned to net assets  acquired  in prior  acquisitions,  (ii)  additional
     amortization  resulting from basis assigned to intangible assets other than
     goodwill, (iii) net decrease in depreciation resulting from change in asset
     basis and lives identified in the preliminary  appraisal process,  and (iv)
     decreased  depreciation  resulting from property and equipment  written-off
     under known plans of restructuring.

B.   To reflect the increase in interest  expense  resulting from the use of new
     borrowings to finance a portion of the purchase price. The interest rate on
     new borrowings of $1.8 billion is assumed to be 7.5%.

C.   Income tax effect of increased  interest net of decreased  depreciation  at
     the statutory tax rate of 37%. The Company expects its effective income tax
     rate to be higher in the future since a significant portion of the purchase
     price will be non-deductible for tax purposes.

D.   To reflect minority interests of approximately 1.3% in CMB.

E.   To reflect  dividends  on Crown  Acquisition  Preferred  Stock of $1.88 per
     share per annum on 12,432,622 outstanding shares.

     of asset values of $215  million.  The  write-off of asset value relates to

     restructuring whose estimated recovery value is less than carrying value.

D.   To reflect  estimated net deferred  income tax assets  arising from the pro

     non-current  assets is $50  million  related to the  estimated  fair market
     value of intangible assets acquired.

     price.

F.   To reflect fair market  value  adjustments  to the carrying  value of other
