                 CONTINENTAL CAN COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1996

  (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 1995 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
           3,288,437 and 3,410,079, respectively.

  (2)  Reclassifications
       Certain 1995 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
       presentation.
  (3)  Acquisitions
       During the first quarter of 1996, Ferembal increased its interest in
       Obalex to 96% by purchasing approximately 10% of the equity of Obalex
       from outside investors for $788,000 which  approximated book value.

  (4)  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 1996 decreased 9% to $131,382,000 as
  compared to $144,460,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  Decreased sales in
  1996 reflected lower volumes primarily at Plastic Containers, Inc. (PCI) but
  also at the Company's European packaging operations.  Contributing to the
  decrease were resin price reductions passed-through to customers
  (approximately $5 million).

       Gross profit decreased 17% in the first quarter of 1996, as compared to
  the prior year period.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined to
  15.2% in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to 16.6% in the same period of
  1995.  The decline primarily reflects the lower volumes discussed above.

       Selling, general and administrative expense was reduced to $16.7 million
  in 1996 compared to $18.3 million in the first quarter of 1995; however, as a
  percentage of sales such expense increased to 12.7% in 1996 as compared to
  12.6% in 1995, because of the lower sales volume.  As a result, operating
  income amounted to $3,239,000 in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to
  $5,707,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  Operating profit as a percentage of
  sales declined over the same periods to 2.5% from 4.0%.

       Net interest expense increased to $4,677,000 in the first quarter of 1996
  as compared to $4,272,000 in the same period of 1995.  This increase resulted
  primarily from higher debt levels in 1996 than 1995.  Foreign exchange gains
  amounteed to $67,000 in the first quarter of 1996, reflecting changes among
  European currencies.  Foreign exchange losses amounted to $316,000 in the
  first quarter of 1995.

       Recovery of income taxes amounted to $137,000 in the first quarter of
  1996 and reflected a higher 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 in the first quarter of 1996 amounted to $441,000 ($.13 per
  share).  Net income in the first quarter of 1995 amounted to $437,000 ($.13
  per share).

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

  CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

       The Company acquired $11.3 million of capital assets during the first
  quarter of 1996 consisting primarily of packaging equipment.  These assets
  were acquired for cash.  Similar types of assets are expected to be acquired
  for the remainder of 1996.  Total capital spending in 1996 is expected to
  amount to approximately $29 million.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
       The Company intends to actively pursue acquisition possibilities in 1996.
  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 during the first quarter of
  1995.  Working capital decreased to approximately $38 million, and the current
  ratio amounted to 1.21 at March 31, 1996 compared to 1.29 at December 31,
  1995.

       During the first quarter of 1996, the Company's operating activities
  generated $4.2 million of cash primarily as a result of depreciation charges.
  The Company used $11.9 million in investing activities primarily for the
  purchase of packaging equipment.  The shortfall was covered by cash from
  financing activities primarily short term borrowings of $4.4 million and by
  cash on hand which was also used to repay long term debt.

       At March 31, 1996, the Company had an available credit line under a
  Revolving Credit Agreement of $1.9 million.  In addition, the Company's
  consolidated subsidiaries had available approximately $85 million in short
  term credit lines and bank overdraft facilities at March 31, 1996.  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
  1996.
