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.

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.
