                         NORTH AMERICAN CAN OPERATIONS
                    (A COMPONENT OF REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY)

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    North American Can Operations is a component of Reynolds Metals Company
("Reynolds") that primarily produces aluminum beverage cans and ends. The North
American Can Operations (the "Operation") consist of 15 can and end plants in
the U.S. and a can plant in Puerto Rico.
 
    The accompanying unaudited special-purpose interim combined financial
statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and have been prepared on a basis
consistent with the annual statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of
the Operation, the statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Operating
results for the interim period of 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For further
information, refer to the special-purpose combined financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in North American Can Operations' report for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
 
2.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
ENVIRONMENTAL
 
    The Operation is involved in various environmental improvement activities
resulting from past operations including where Reynolds has been designated as a
potentially responsible party ("PRP"), with others, at various Environmental
Protection Agency-designated Superfund sites.
 
    Amounts have been recorded (on an undiscounted basis) which, in management's
best estimate, will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs of known
remediation requirements.
 
    Estimated costs for future environmental compliance and remediation are
necessarily imprecise because of factors such as:
 
    - continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements
 
    - availability and application of technology
 
    - identification of presently unknown remediation requirements
 
    - cost allocations among PRPs
 
    Further, it is not possible to predict the amount or timing of future costs
of environmental remediation that may subsequently be determined. Based on
information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Operation's competitive or financial position or
its expected ongoing results of operations.

3.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    On August 10, 1998, the Operation was sold to Ball Corporation.
