                 CONTINENTAL CAN COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 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 first quarter of
             1995 and 1994 were 3,410,079, and 3,039,938, respectively.

             Prior to their conversion in May 1994, earnings per common share,
             assuming full dilution, gave effect to the conversion of the
             Company's outstanding 10-3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
             as if such Debentures had been converted after elimination of
             related interest expense, net of income tax effect.

(2)    Acquisitions
       During the first quarter of 1995, Ferembal increased its interest in
       Obalex to 74% by purchasing 10 % of the equity of Obalex from outside
       investors for $586,000 which approximated book value.

(3)  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 first quarter of 1995 increased 25% to $144,460,000 as
compared to $115,850,000 in the first quarter of 1994. Increased sales in 1995
reflected higher volumes primarily at Plastic Containers, Inc. (PCI) but also at
the Company's flexible packaging operations. Contributing to the increase were
currency translation rate differences (approximately $9 million) and resin price
pass-throughs to customers (approximately $7 million).

     Gross profit increased 17% in the first quarter of 1995, as compared to the
prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined slightly in
the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period of 1994. The decline
primarily reflects resin price pass-throughs to customers at PCI which increase
both sales and costs resulting in a lower margin percentage.

     Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales
declined to 12.5% in 1995 as compared to 13.7% 1994, primarily as a result of
the higher sales volume. Because of these various factors, operating income
amounted to $5,707,000 in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to $4,505,000 in
the first quarter of 1994. Operating profit as a percentage of sales improved
over the same periods to 4.0% from 3.9%.

     Net interest expense declined to $4,272,000 in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to $4,608,000 in the same period of 1994. This decline resulted
primarily from lower debt levels in 1995 than 1994. Foreign exchange losses
amounted to $316,000 in the first quarter of 1995, reflecting the strength of
the deutsch mark against other European currencies. Foreign exchange gains
amounted to $49,000 in the first quarter of 1994.

     Provision for income taxes amounted to $603,000 in the first quarter of
1995 and reflected 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 income in the first quarter of 1995 amounted to $437,000 ($.13 per
share). Loss before cumulative effect of an accounting change amounted to
$189,000 ($.06 per share) in the first quarter of 1994. A charge amounting to
$263,000 ($.09 per share) resulted from the cumulative effect of an accounting
change in the first quarter of 1994. Net loss in the first quarter of 1994
amounted to $452,000 ($.15).

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     The Company acquired $9.5 million of capital assets during the first
quarter of 1995 consisting primarily of packaging equipment. These assets were
acquired for cash. Similar types of

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
assets are expected to be acquired for the remainder of 1995. Total capital
spending in 1995 is expected to amount to approximately $31 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 quarter
of 1995. Working capital increased slightly to approximately $71 million, and
the current ratio amounted to 1.41 at March 31, 1995 compared to 1.51 at
December 31, 1994.

     During the first quarter of 1995, the Company's operating activities
generated $6.7 million of cash primarily as a result of depreciation charges.
The Company used $10 million in investing activities primarily for the purchase
of packaging equipment. The small shortfall was covered by cash from financing
activities primarily short term borrowings of $9.6 million, which was also used
to repay long term debt with the remainder being added to the Company's cash
reserves.

     At March 31, 1995, the Company had an available credit line under a
Revolving Credit Agreement of $2.9 million. In addition, the Company's
consolidated subsidiaries had available approximately $39 million in short term
credit lines and bank overdraft facilities at March 31, 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.
