                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


(1)   Accounting Policies and Other Matters

       (a) Basis of Presentation

           Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
           financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
           accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is
           suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
           conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
           in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.

       (b) Adjustments

           The results for the interim period reported herein have not been
           audited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
           necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period statements
           have been made.

       (c) Earnings Per Common Share

           Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
           common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common equivalent
           shares include dilutive stock options (using the treasury stock
           method) exercisable under the Company's option plans.  Weighted
           average shares outstanding in the third quarter of 1995 and 1994,
           were 3,330,653 and 3,297,685 respectively and for the first nine
           months of 1995 and 1994 were 3,342,489 and 3,222,161, respectively.

           For the first nine months of 1994, earnings per common share,
           assuming full dilution, gives effect to the conversion of the
           Company's then outstanding  10-3/4% Convertible Subordinated
           Debentures (the "Debentures") due May 1, 1994 as if such Debentures
           had been converted on the issue date, after elimination of related
           interest expense, net of income tax effect.  All Debentures were
           converted during the second quarter of 1994.


(2)   Inventories

      Inventories consist principally of packaging materials.  The components of
  inventory were as follows: (000's omitted)

   ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Sales during the third quarter of 1995 increased 11% to $171,024,000 as
   compared to $154,492,000 in the third quarter of 1994.  Sales in the first
   nine months of 1995 increased 18% to $476,436,000 from $405,469,000 in the
   same prior year period.  Higher sales in the third quarter of 1995 resulted
   primarily from volume increases at Plastic Containers, Inc. ($4 million),
   foreign currency translation rate differences ($7 million), and resin price
   increase pass throughs ($6 million). Higher sales for the first nine months
   of 1995 resulted from volume increases at Plastic Containers, Inc. ($20
   million), foreign currency translation rate differences ($28 million), and
   resin price increase pass throughs ($23 million).

       Gross profit was higher in the first nine months of 1995 than the same
   prior year period but slightly lower in the third quarter of 1995 than 1994.
   Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined by approximately 2% in the
   third quarter and in the first nine months of 1995 from the same periods of
   1994.  This decline primarily resulted from higher raw material prices at
   Ferembal, competitive pressure in the flexible film business in Europe, and
   the effect of resin price increase pass-throughs and third quarter production
   start-up costs at PCI.

       Results for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995 included a $5
   million restructuring charge for severance and termination benefits at
   Ferembal, the Company's European can manufacturing subsidiary, to help
   position Ferembal as a low cost producer.  The restructuring, which will
   affect approximately 9% of the workforce, was prompted by the Company's
   continuing efforts to reduce costs in the face of increased raw material
   prices and competitive pressures in the European market.

       Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales
   declined by approximately 0.8% in the first nine months of 1995 versus the
   same prior year period.  Selling, general and administrative expense as a
   percentage of sales in the third quarter of 1995 was approximately 0.6%
   higher than in 1994.  The reduction in selling, general and administrative
   expense as a percentage of sales primarily reflects the fixed nature of many
   of these expenses in relation to increased volume.  Because of these various
   factors, operating income amounted to $2,729,000 and $17,028,000 in the third
   quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively, as compared to
   $10,855,000 and $23,337,000 in the same periods of 1994.

       Net interest expense increased to $5,435,000 in the third quarter of 1995
   from $4,617,000 in the third quarter of 1994.  Net interest expense was
   $14,857,000 in the first nine months of 1995 as compared to $13,761,000 in
   the same period of 1994.  These increases resulted primarily from higher
   interest rates at the Company's European subsidiaries.

       Provision for income taxes amounted to $479,000 and $2,235,000 in the
   third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively,  as compared to
   $2,308,000 and $4,477,000 in the third quarter and first nine months of 1994,
   reflecting a lower level of tax benefits for accounting purposes in loss
   operations than tax expense in the Company's profitable operations.  Minority
   interest during each period reflects the interests of other shareholders in
   some of the Company's subsidiaries.

       Net loss amounted to $1,872,000 ($0.56 per share) in the third quarter of
   1995.  Net income amounted to $3,102,000 ($0.94 per share) in the third
   quarter of 1994.  Net income in the first nine months of 1995 amounted to
   $497,000 ($0.15 per share).  During the first nine months of 1994, the
   Company recognized an extraordinary charge amounting to $73,000 ($0.02 per
   share) related to the purchase and cancellation by PCI of $3 million of its
   10.75% Senior Secured Notes, and a charge amounting to $263,000 ($.08 per
   share)  resulting from the cumulative effect of an accounting change.  Net
   income in the first nine months of 1994 amounted to $4,290,000 ($1.34 per
   share).

   FINANCIAL CONDITION


   CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

        The Company acquired $9,704,000 and $29,779,000 of capital assets during
   the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively, consisting
   primarily of packaging equipment.  These assets were acquired for cash.
   Similar types of assets are expected to be acquired for the remainder of 1995
   and total capital expenditures are expected to amount to approximately $33
   million.

        The Company intends to actively pursue acquisition possibilities in
   1995.  It is presently the Company's intention to finance any acquisitions by
   leveraging the assets of the business to be acquired, with existing cash,
   through bank borrowings or, possibly, through the issuance of stock.


   LIQUIDITY

        The Company's liquidity position declined slightly during the first nine
   months of 1995.  Working capital declined to approximately $63.3 million, and
   the current ratio amounted to 1.33 at September 30, 1995 compared to 1.52 at
   December 31, 1994.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net cash provided by
   operating activities amounted to $27,692,000.  The increase in the Company's
   accounts receivable and inventory in the third quarter of each year is
   primarily a result of the seasonality of Ferembal's business which peaks at
   this period because of the harvest of vegetable crops for canning.  Net cash
   used in investing activities, primarily capital expenditures, amounted to
   $30,796,000 during the first nine months of 1994.  In the same period, the
   Company repaid approximately $11.3 million in long term debt and increased
   short term borrowings by approximately $17.8 million.  The Company expects
   that, as Ferembal collects receivables and reduces its seasonally high
   inventories relating to vegetable canning, these short term borrowings will
   be repaid or refinanced.

        At September 30, 1995, the Company had an available credit line under a
   Revolving Credit Agreement of $2.8 million.  In addition, the Company's
   consolidated subsidiaries had available approximately $26 million in credit
   lines and bank overdraft facilities at September 30, 1995.  However, the
   Company's ability to draw upon these lines for other than its subsidiaries'
   needs is restricted.

        The Company expects that cash from operations and its existing banking
   facilities will be sufficient to meet its operating needs for the remainder
   of 1995.  On a long term basis the Company believes that existing funds, cash
   generated by operations and its existing banking facilities will be
   sufficient to meet its cash needs.
