PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("Anchor", "New Anchor" or the
"Company") is the third largest manufacturer of glass containers in the United
States. Anchor produces a diverse line of flint (clear), amber, green and other
colored glass containers of various types, designs and sizes. The Company
manufactures and sells its products to many of the leading producers of beer,
liquor, food, tea, and beverages.
The Company, a majority-owned subsidiary of Consumers Packaging Inc.
("Consumers"), was formed in January 1997 to acquire certain assets and assume
certain liabilities of the former Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("Old
Anchor"), renamed Anchor Resolution Corp., which was a debtor-in-possession and
is now being liquidated under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code of
1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"). The Company purchased eleven operating
glass container manufacturing facilities and other related assets (the "Anchor
Acquisition"). Prior to the Anchor Acquisition on February 5, 1997, the Company
did not conduct any operations. Consumers, Canada's only glass container
manufacturer, currently owns approximately 58% of New Anchor indirectly on a
fully diluted basis. Consumers U.S., Inc. ("Consumers U.S.") was also formed in
January 1997 by Consumers as a holding company for Anchor.
Old Anchor was formed by members of the management of the Glass
Container Division of Anchor Hocking Corporation (the "Glass Container
Division") and persons associated with Wesray Corporation to carry out the
leveraged acquisition in 1983 of the business and certain of the assets of the
Glass Container Division. Old Anchor acquired Midland Glass Company, Inc. in
1984 and Diamond Bathurst, Inc. in 1987. In November 1989, Vitro S.A. acquired
substantially all of the stock of Old Anchor. Simultaneously, Vitro acquired all
of the stock of Latchford Glass Company, which was subsequently merged into Old
Anchor. In September 1996, Old Anchor filed for protection under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Anchor Acquisition. The purchase price paid by the Company was
subject to adjustment. In June 1998, the bankruptcy court approved the final
settlement of the purchase price which required the payment by the Company to
Old Anchor of an additional $1.0 million in cash and the issuance of 1,225,000
warrants for the purchase of additional shares of common stock, valued at
approximately $6.1 million. In addition, the Company issued 525,000 warrants to
purchase additional shares of common stock to an affiliate of Consumers U.S.
None of the warrants issued require any payment upon exercise. The effects of
the settlement had been reflected in the Company's financial statements for the
period ended December 31, 1997.
The Senior Notes and Exchange Offer. On March 16, 1998, the Company
issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 9 7/8% Senior Notes due
2008 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the
Company ranking senior in right of payment to all existing and future
subordinate indebtedness of the Company and equal with all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the Company. Proceeds of the issuance of the Senior Notes
were used for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Company
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on March 16, 1998. Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company filed an exchange offer registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on April 28,
1998. In June 1998, the Company completed an offer to the holders of the Senior
Notes to exchange their Senior Notes for a like principal amount of new Senior
Notes, substantially identical to the Senior Notes except that the new Senior
Notes do not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions.

There can be no assurance that the information provided in the
preceding table is indicative of the glass container product mix of the Company
for 1999 or in subsequent years. Management's strategy is to focus on shifting
its product mix towards those products management believes likely to both
improve operating results and increase unit volume.
CUSTOMERS
The Company produces glass containers mainly for a broad base of
customers in the food and beverage industries in the United States. The
Company's ten largest continuing customers include well-known brand names such
as:
- Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. ("Anheuser-Busch"),
- The Stroh Brewery Company ("Stroh's"),
- Latrobe (Rolling Rock),
- The Coca-Cola Trading Company (non-carbonated),
- SOBE (Healthy Refreshment),
- Triarc Beverage,
- Saxco International, Inc.,
- Specialty Products Company (Nabisco),
- Jim Beam Brands and
- Hunt-Wesson.
The majority of the Company's glass container designs are produced to
customer specifications and sold on a contract basis.
The Company's two largest customers, Anheuser-Busch and Stroh's,
accounted for approximately 17.1% and 16.8%, respectively, of its net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and 8.8% and 15.6%, respectively, of its net
sales for the period from February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997. The loss of
either of such customers, if not replaced, could have a material adverse effect
of the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. In
February 1999, Stroh's entered into an agreement to sell its assets to a
consortium made up of Pabst Brewing Company ("Pabst") and Miller Brewing Company
("Miller") which is expected to become final in the second quarter. Under the
terms of the agreement, Anchor does not expect to incur any write-off of its
assets. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the near term
production for Stroh's will be replaced with production for Pabst and Miller.
The Company's ten largest customers, named above, accounted for approximately
57% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998.

<PAGE> 4
The Company has rebuilt relationships with some of Old Anchor's larger
volume customers including Anheuser-Busch, which purchased approximately 9.0
million gross and 4.0 million gross, respectively, during 1998 and the 1997
Period. In 1999, Anheuser-Busch is expected to purchase approximately 12.7
million gross. In February 1998, Anchor entered into a long-term contract with
Anheuser-Busch to serve its west coast needs and subcontracted this additional
production to its Mexican affiliate, Fevisa, for a commission. With the
exception of the Fevisa production, Anheuser-Busch renegotiates with the Company
each year for the next year's purchase orders. Accordingly, past purchase orders
placed by Anheuser-Busch are not necessarily indicative of future purchase
orders.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company's products are primarily marketed by an internal sales and
marketing organization that consists of 14 direct sales people and 22 business
managers who are organized into teams with responsibility for each specific
product line.
John J. Ghaznavi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of each of
Anchor and Consumers, has extensive industry and customer networks. From 1995
through 1997, he served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Glass
Packaging Institute, the leading industry organization that includes as its
members manufacturers representing over 95% of North America's glass container
production and he remains a member of its board. As a result of the Company's
affiliation with Consumers and Glenshaw Glass Company, Inc. ("Glenshaw"),
Consumers and Glenshaw sales personnel will also market the capabilities of
Anchor with respect to certain production in exchange for a market-based
commission. See Item 13. - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
In addition, certain production has been and will continue to be
reallocated among the Company's ongoing plants, Consumers' plants and the
Glenshaw plant in order to maximize machine capability and geographic proximity
to customers. In each case, the entity shifting its existing production or
responsible for the new business will receive a market-based commission from the
entity to whom the existing production or new business was shifted.
The Company's manufacturing facilities are generally located in
geographic proximity to its customers due to the significant cost of
transportation and the importance of prompt delivery to customers. Most of the
Company's production is shipped by common carrier to customers generally within
a 300-mile radius of the plant in which it is produced.
SEASONALITY
Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and
other beverage industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months,
the Company's shipment volume is typically higher in the second and third
quarters. Consequently, the Company will build inventory during the first
quarter in anticipation of seasonal demands during the second and third
quarters. In addition, the Company generally schedules shutdowns of its plants
for furnace rebuilds and machine repairs in the first and fourth quarters of the
year to coincide with scheduled holiday and vacation time under its labor union
contracts. These shutdowns adversely affect profitability during the first and
fourth quarters. The Company has in the past and will continue in the future to
implement alternatives to reduce downtime during these periods in order to
minimize disruption to the production process and its negative effect on
profitability.
SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS
Sand, soda ash, limestone, cullet and corrugated packaging materials
are the principal materials used by the Company. All of these materials are
available from a number of suppliers and the Company is not dependent upon any
single supplier for any of these materials. Management believes that adequate
quantities of these materials are and will be available from various suppliers.
Material increases in the cost of any of these items could have a significant
impact on the Company's operating results.

<PAGE> 5
All of the Company's glass melting furnaces are equipped to burn
natural gas, which is the primary fuel used at its manufacturing facilities.
Backup systems are in place at most facilities to permit the use of fuel oil or
propane should that become necessary. Electricity is used in certain instances
for enhanced melting. The Company expects to be continually involved in programs
to conserve and reduce its consumption of fuel. Although natural gas remains
generally less expensive than electricity, prices for natural gas have
fluctuated in recent years. Prices have declined in 1999 and are expected to
remain under 1998 levels. While certain of these energy sources may become
increasingly in short supply, or subject to governmental allocation or excise
taxes, the Company cannot predict the effects, if any, of such events on its
future operations. In addition, the Company utilizes a natural gas risk
management program to hedge future requirements and to minimize fluctuation in
the price of natural gas.
COMPETITION
The glass container industry is a mature, low growth industry. This low
growth combined with excess capacity in the industry have made pricing an
important competitive factor. In addition to price, Anchor and the other
companies in the glass container manufacturing industry compete on the basis of
quality, reliability of delivery and general customer service. The Company's
principal competitors are Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. ("Owens') and
Ball-Foster Glass Container Co., L.L.C. ("Ball-Foster"). These competitors are
larger and have greater financial and other resources than the Company. The
glass container industry in the United States is highly concentrated, with the
three largest producers in 1998, which included Anchor, estimated to have
accounted for 95% of 1998 domestic volume by management's estimate. Owens has a
relatively large research and development staff and has in place numerous
technology licensing agreements with other glass producers, including the
Company. See "--Intellectual Property."
The Company's business consists exclusively of the manufacture and sale
of glass containers. Certain other glass container manufacturers engage in more
diversified business activities than the Company (including the manufacture and
sales of plastic and metal containers). In addition, plastics and other forms of
alternative packaging have made substantial inroads into the container markets
in recent years and will continue to affect demand for glass container products.
Competitive pressures from alternative forms of packaging, including plastics,
as well as consolidation in the glass container industry, have resulted in
excess capacity and have led to severe pricing pressures on glass container
manufacturers. Although the Company believes that the market shift from glass to
alternative containers is substantially complete and that glass containers will
maintain a leading position in the high-end food and beverage segments due
primarily to the premium image of glass containers, no assurances can be given
that the Company will not lose further market share to alternative container
manufacturers. Further, management believes that consistent productivity
improvements among glass and glass alternatives can be expected to decrease
capacity utilization rates for the industry or result in additional plant
closures.
QUALITY CONTROL
The Company maintains a program of quality control with respect to
suppliers, line performance and packaging integrity for glass containers. The
Company's production lines are equipped with a variety of automatic and
electronic devices that inspect containers for dimensional conformity, flaws in
the glass and various other performance attributes. Additionally, products are
sample inspected and tested by Company employees on the production line for
dimensions and performance and are also inspected and audited after packaging.
Containers which do not meet quality standards are crushed and recycled as
cullet.
The Company monitors and updates its inspection programs to keep pace
with modern technologies and customer demands. Samples of glass and raw
materials from its plants are routinely chemically and electronically analyzed
to monitor compliance with quality standards. Laboratories are also maintained
at each manufacturing facility to test various physical characteristics of
products.

<PAGE> 6
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Pursuant to a Technology Assistance and License Agreement between
Owens and Consumers, the Company is entitled to use patents, trade secrets and
other technical information of Owens relating to glass manufacturing
technology. The agreement, entered into in February 1997, provides for a term
of up to ten years. In addition, the Company has entered into a glass
technology agreement with Heye-Glas International for a term of ten years,
expiring December 31, 2008.
While the Company holds various patents, trademarks and copyrights of
its own, it believes its business is not dependent upon any one of such patents,
trademarks or copyrights.
EMPLOYEES
As of February 28, 1999, the Company employed approximately 3,000
persons on a full-time basis. Approximately 500 of these employees are salaried
office, supervisory and sales personnel. The remaining employees are
represented principally by two unions, Glass Molders, Pottery, Plastics and
Allied Workers (the "GMP"), which represents approximately 90% of the Company's
hourly employees, and the American Flint Glass Workers Union (the "AFGWU"),
which represents approximately 10% of the Company's hourly employees. The
Company's two labor contracts with the GMP and its two labor contracts with the
AFGWU have three year terms expiring on March 31, 1999 and August 31, 1999,
respectively. Negotiations are presently being conducted with the GMP and no
contract offer has been advanced. If no satisfactory agreement is reached and
work stoppage ensues, the Company believes its cash position in the near term
will be sufficient to continue operations on a reduced basis.
Old Anchor was granted a deferral of the scheduled 1996 wage increase
under its collective bargaining agreements. The Company granted the 1996
increase effective as of the date of the Anchor Acquisition, and the 1997
increase effective as of April 1, 1997. These two increases represent an
approximate 7% increase in wage rates as of April 1, 1997 as compared to 1996
wage rates.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
Environmental Regulation and Compliance. The Company's operations are
subject to increasingly complex and detailed Federal, state and local laws and
regulations including, but not limited to, the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act of 1972, as amended, the U.S. Clean Air Act, as amended, and the Federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, that are designed to protect
the environment. Among the activities subject to regulation are the disposal of
checker slag (furnace residue usually removed during furnace rebuilds), the
disposal of furnace bricks containing chromium, the disposal of waste, the
discharge of water used to clean machines and cooling water, dust produced by
the batch mixing process, underground storage tanks and air emissions produced
by furnaces. In addition, the Company is required to obtain and maintain permits
in connection with its operations. Many environmental laws and regulations
provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. The Company
believes it is in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations. It is difficult to predict the future development of such laws and
regulations or their impact on future earnings and operations, but the Company
anticipates that these standards will continue to require increased capital
expenditures. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will
not be incurred.
Certain environmental laws, such as CERCLA or Superfund and analogous
state laws provide for strict, joint and several liability for investigation and
remediation of releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Such laws
may apply to properties presently or formerly owned or operated by an entity or
its predecessors, as well as to conditions at properties at which wastes
attributable to an entity or its predecessors were disposed. There can be no
assurance that the Company or entities for which it may be responsible will not
incur such liability in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. See Item 3.
Legal Proceedings.
6
<PAGE> 7
Capital expenditures required for environmental compliance were
approximately $1.2 million for 1998 and are anticipated to be approximately $1.5
million annually in 1999 and 2000. However, there can be no assurance that
future changes in such laws, regulations or interpretations thereof or the
nature of the Company's operations will not require the Company to make
significant additional capital expenditures to ensure compliance in the future.
Employee Health and Safety Regulations. The Company's operations are
subject to a variety of worker safety laws. OSHA and analogous laws mandate
general requirements for safe workplaces for all employees. The Company believes
that it is operating in material compliance with applicable employee health and
safety laws.
Deposit and Recycling Legislation. Over the years, legislation had been
introduced at the Federal, state and local levels requiring a deposit or tax, or
impose other restrictions, on the sales or use of certain containers,
particularly beer and carbonated soft drink containers. Several states have
enacted some form of deposit legislation. The enactment of additional laws or
comparable administrative actions that would require a deposit on beer or soft
drink containers, or otherwise restrict their use, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. In jurisdictions where deposit legislation has
been enacted, the consumption of beverages in glass bottles has generally
declined due largely to the preference of retailers for handling returned cans
and plastic bottles. Container deposit legislation continues to be considered
from time to time at various governmental levels.
In lieu of this type of deposit legislation, several states have
enacted various anti-littering recycling laws that do not involve the return of
containers to retailers. The use of recycled glass, and recycling in general,
are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

<PAGE> 8
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company's administrative and executive offices are located in
Tampa, Florida. The Company owns and operates nine glass manufacturing plants.
The Company also leases a building located in Streator, Illinois, that is used
as a machine shop to rebuild glass-forming related machinery and one mold shop
located in Zanesville, Ohio, as well as additional warehouses for finished
products in various cities throughout the United States. Substantially all of
the Company's owned and leased properties are pledged as collateral securing the
Company's obligations under the First Mortgage Notes and the related indenture.
As part of its long-term business strategy, the Company closed its
Houston plant effective as of February 1997 and its Dayville plant effective as
of April 1997. Also in 1997, two furnaces and five machines had been removed
from service, one furnace and one machine at the Company's Jacksonville plant
and one furnace and four machines at its Connellsville plant. In December 1998,
one furnace and one machine was removed from service at the Jacksonville plant.
In addition, management will continue to monitor business conditions and
utilization of plant capacity to determine the appropriateness of further plant
closings.
The following table sets forth certain information about the facilities
owned and being operated by the Company as of February 28, 1999. In addition to
these locations, Keyser, West Virginia, Gas City, Indiana, Cliffwood, New
Jersey, Royersford, Pennsylvania, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Houston, Texas and
Dayville, Connecticut are closed plants that are part of the collateral securing
the First Mortgage Notes and the Company's obligations under the related
indenture.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is, and from time to time may be, a party to routine legal
proceedings incidental to the operation of its business. The outcome of these
proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or operating results of the Company, based on the Company's current
understanding of the relevant facts and law.
The Company is engaged in investigation and remediation projects at
plants currently being operated and at closed facilities. In addition, Old
Anchor was named as a potentially responsible party (a "PRP") under CERCLA with
respect to a number of sites. Of these sites, the Company has assumed
responsibility with respect to four sites that are currently active. While the
Company may be jointly and severally liable for costs related to these sites, in
most cases, it is only one of a number of PRP's who are also jointly and
severally liable. With respect to the four currently active sites for which the
Company has assumed responsibility, the Company estimates that its share of the
aggregate cleanup costs of such sites should not exceed $2.0 million, and that
the likely range after taking into consideration the contributions anticipated
from other potentially responsible parties could be significantly less. However,
no assurance can be given that the cleanup costs of such sites will not exceed
$2.0 million or that the Company will have these funds available. The Company
has established reserves for environmental costs which it believes are adequate
to address the anticipated costs of remediation of these operated and closed
facilities and its liability as a PRP under CERCLA. The timing and magnitude of
such costs cannot always be determined with certainty due to, among other
things, incomplete information with respect to environmental conditions at
certain sites, new and amended environmental laws and regulations, and
uncertainties regarding the timing of remedial expenditures.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were brought to a vote of security holders in the fourth

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS.
The Company's common equity securities consist of Classes A, B and C
Common Stock and Series A and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the
"Securities"). There is no established public trading market for any of the
Securities. BT Alex. Brown is currently making a market in the Series A
Preferred Stock, the Class A and Class C Common Stock (collectively, the
"Quoted Securities") on the NASD's OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, an automated
quotation system. However, BT Alex. Brown is not obligated to do so and may
discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Moreover, there can
be no assurance of the liquidity of any markets that may develop for the Quoted
Securities, of the ability of the holders of the Quoted Securities to sell such
Securities, or of the price at which holders of the Quoted Securities would be
able to sell such securities. The high and low prices since commencement of
quotation on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board follow:

of Class B Common Stock; 1,546 registered holders of Class A Common Stock; one
registered holder of Class B Common Stock; and 550 registered holders of Class C
Common Stock. See "Item 12. Principal Stockholders." As of February 12, 1999,
2,825,858 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are nonvoting until February 5,
2000, and of which 718,015 were issued pursuant to the Settlement, are issuable
upon the exercise of currently exercisable warrants. These warrants are held by
two institutional investors and certain creditors of Old Anchor. In addition,
pursuant to the Settlement, there are 267,874 shares of Class A Common Stock and
525,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of currently
exercisable warrants held by certain creditors of Old Anchor and an affiliate of
Consumers U.S., respectively.
The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock and currently
has no intention to do so in the future. The holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of
the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative dividends, payable
quarterly in cash, at an annual rate of 10% of the liquidation value thereof.
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative
dividends payable quarterly in kind at an annual rate of 8% of the liquidation
value thereof. For a discussion regarding limitations on the Company's ability
to pay dividends, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On various dates since January 1997, the Company sold and issued
902,615 shares of Class B Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share, and 3,907,159
shares of Series B Preferred Stock (including the issuance of shares paid in
kind as dividends), valued at $25.00 per share, and warrants currently
exercisable for 525,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. These shares and
warrants were issued in an offering not involving a public offering pursuant to
Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act to Consumers U.S. and an affiliate of
Consumers U.S. As a condition to each of the above sales, the purchaser
consented to placement of a restrictive legend on the certificate representing
the securities.
In connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company issued: (i)
490,898 shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share, and 1,879,320
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at $25.00 per share, to Smith Barney
Inc., as escrow agent for certain creditors of Old Anchor, (ii) an aggregate of
360,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at $25.00 per share, to the
defined benefit plans maintained by Old Anchor and assumed by the Company in the
Anchor Acquisition and (iii) warrants exercisable for 2,107,843 shares of Class
C Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share, to two institutional purchasers as
compensation for providing the interim financing for the Anchor Acquisition and
the refinancing thereof with the First Mortgage Notes. The warrants for Class C
Common Stock were issued in an offering not involving a public offering pursuant
to Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act. As a condition to such sales, the
purchasers consented to a placement of a restrictive legend on the certificates
representing the warrants. All of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Series
A Preferred Stock issued to Old Anchor were issued in reliance on the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act contained in Section
1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
In April 1997, the Company issued $150.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the 11 1/4% First Mortgage Notes due 2005 (the "First Mortgage Notes")
to two initial purchasers, both of whom were "accredited investors" as that term
is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The initial purchasers resold the First
Mortgage Notes to a group of "qualified institutional buyers" (as that term is
used in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance on the exemptions from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and
Regulation S under the Securities Act. These securities were subsequently
exchanged by the Company for securities with comparable terms which had been
registered under the Securities Act.
In March 1998, the Company issued $50.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Notes to two initial purchasers, both of whom were
"accredited investors" as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities
Act, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The
initial purchasers resold the Senior Notes to a group of "qualified
institutional buyers" (as that term is used in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act) in reliance on the exemptions from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.
These securities were subsequently exchanged by the Company for securities with
comparable terms which had been registered under the Securities Act.
In connection with the Settlement, in June 1998, the Company issued
warrants for the purchase of 332,844 and 892,152 shares of Class A and Class C
Common Stock, respectively. These warrants are currently exercisable and do not
require any payment upon exercise. The warrants were issued in reliance on the
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act contained in
Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
The Company was formed in January 1997 to consummate the Anchor
Acquisition. On February 5, 1997, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Company and Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. acquired substantially all of
the assets of, and assumed certain liabilities, of Anchor Glass Container
Corporation ("Old Anchor"), now being liquidated in a proceeding under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended. The Company purchased eleven
operating glass container manufacturing facilities and other related assets (the
"Anchor Acquisition"). Prior to the Anchor Acquisition, the Company had no
operations. As a result, the following discussion represents activity for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from February 5, 1997 to December
31, 1997 (the "1997 Period"). Accordingly, operations for the Company for the
1997 Period are not directly comparable to operations for the year ended 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales. Net sales for the year ended 1998 were $643.3 million, or
approximately $12.4 million per week, compared to $569.4 million, or
approximately $12.1 million per week, for the 1997 Period. This slight increase
in net sales was principally as a result of higher sales of beer and tea
products in 1998 as compared to the 1997 Period. The continued shift in product
mix in 1998 towards higher volume, lower margin products has unfavorably
impacted margins, as noted below. Also, despite operating at near full
manufacturing capacity, the industry has experienced significant pricing
pressures, unfavorably affecting margins.
Cost of Products Sold. The Company's cost of products sold for the
year ended December 31, 1998 was $594.3 million (or 92.4% of net sales), while
the cost of products sold for the 1997 Period was $523.7 million (or 92.0% of
net sales). The slight increase in the percentage of cost of products sold for
1998, as compared with 1997, reflects higher freight costs and the impact of
increased sales of lower margin items, offset by more favorable employee
benefit costs, particularly in the areas of pensions and health insurance, as
the result of favorable claims and census experience, which may be
non-recurring. This variation also reflects the impact of costs related to the
delay and start-up of a rebuilt furnace and machine rebuilds at one
manufacturing plant, originally scheduled for December 1997 but completed in
February 1998, and is partially offset by the cost savings associated with the
closing of the Dayville, Connecticut plant effective during the second quarter
of 1997. Additionally, a modification in the handling of mold replacement parts
resulted in an approximate $3.5 million increase in costs in 1998.
Restructuring Charges. In the third quarter of 1998, formal plans were
approved to remove from service one furnace and one machine at the Jacksonville,
Florida manufacturing facility. The furnace was closed December 1998 and
approximately 100 hourly employees were terminated. The Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $4.4 million in 1998. Of this total charge,
approximately $2.3 million relates to operating lease exit costs, approximately
$0.9 million represents closing and other costs and approximately $0.8 million
relates to the write-down of certain equipment to net realizable value. This
plan was announced in October 1998 and, as a result, the Company recorded $0.4
million of the total restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 1998 related
to certain employee costs.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $30.2 million (or 4.7% of net
sales) while expenses for the 1997 Period were approximately $25.1 million (or
4.4% of net sales). This slight increase in selling and administrative expenses
as a percentage of net sales reflects slightly higher personnel costs as the
Company augmented its management team in the second half of 1997 and
expenditures in connection with Year 2000 compliance, offset by focused
reductions in other selling and administrative categories.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for 1998 was approximately $27.1
million compared to $18.3 million in the 1997 Period, an increase on a
comparable basis of 34.0%. On March 16, 1998, the Company completed an offering
of an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million of its Senior Notes issued
under an
13
<PAGE> 14
Indenture dated as of March 16, 1998, among the Company, Consumers U.S., Inc.
and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. Annual interest expense on the Senior
Notes approximates $4.9 million. Additionally, interest expense has increased
based upon higher average outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility during 1998, as compared to 1997.
Net Loss. The Company had a net loss in the year ended 1998 of
approximately $9.8 million, including the restructuring charge of $4.4 million,
compared to a net loss in the 1997 Period of approximately $11.5 million,
including an extraordinary loss of approximately $11.2 million as result of the
write-off of certain financing fees in connection with the refinancing of the
Anchor Loan Facility.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In 1998, operating activities consumed $14.5 million in cash as
compared to $25.5 million of cash provided in the 1997 Period. This increase in
cash consumed reflects adjustments for changes in working capital items and the
higher loss before the restructuring charge in the year ended 1998 as compared
with the loss before the extraordinary item in the 1997 Period. The balance of
trade related accounts receivable increased approximately $29.9 million from
year-end 1997 primarily reflecting higher intercompany receivable balances
carried by the Company and the impact of credit terms of certain customers. The
intercompany receivable balances were substantially paid in February 1999. The
balance of accounts payable decreased approximately $10.6 million from the 1997
year-end partially as a result of the increase in cash from other financing
activities, allowing the Company to take advantage of available cash discounts.
In addition, trade payables were higher in December 1997, due to the furnace and
machine rebuilds noted above. Cash consumed in investing activities in 1998 and
the 1997 Period were $50.9 million and $257.3 million, respectively, principally
reflecting the capital expenditures and payment in respect of strategic
alliances with customers in 1998 and 1997 and the cash component of the Anchor
Acquisition in the 1997 Period. In February 1997, the Company contributed $9.0
million in cash to the Company's defined benefit pension plans. Also, as a
result of the valuation performed by an independent appraiser of the Series A
Preferred Stock contributed to the plans, which was completed in November 1997,
the Company made an additional pension contribution of $0.7 million in cash in
March 1998. Capital expenditures in 1998 and 1997 were $42.3 million and $41.6
million, respectively.
In conjunction with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company entered into a
credit agreement providing for a $110.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility"). At March 18, 1999, advances outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Facility were $59.1 million, outstanding letters of credit on
this facility were $11.3 million and the borrowing availability was $20.4
million.
Cash from financing activities increased in 1998 by $68.4 million
principally reflecting the issuance of the Senior Notes in March 1998 and
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
In September 1998, G&G (acting on behalf of Consumers) entered into an
agreement to purchase the controlling interest in a European glass manufacturer
and had advanced $17.3 million toward that end. This amount was funded by G&G
through an advance from the Company of approximately $17.3 million in September
1998. The advance is evidenced by a promissory note which originally matured in
January 1999. This advance was permitted through an amendment to the
intercompany agreement, which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
Management extended the maturity of the promissory note to March 31, 1999, and
currently has an agreement in principle to further extend the maturity to May
15, 1999. The funds were obtained through borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility. The Company has pledged the promissory note to the lenders
under the Revolving Credit Facility and G&G has provided security against the
promissory note to the lenders. Interest on the note is payable at the interest
rate payable by the Company on its revolving credit advances plus 1/2%. A
number of issues have arisen and the transaction has not closed. Should the
transaction not close, the sellers are obligated to return the advance to G&G.
G&G has demanded the return of the advance plus interest accrued to date, and
will upon receipt, repay the advance from the Company. Discussions are
continuing, but as of this date outstanding issues have not been resolved.
Failing a resolution of the issues or a repayment of the advance, G&G intends
to begin an arbitration proceeding in accordance with the terms of the
agreement to secure a return of the advance.
In 1998, the Company advanced $950 to Consumers, which was repaid in
February 1999.
On March 16, 1998, the Company completed an offering of the Senior
Notes. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company ranking senior
in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the
Company and equal with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the
14
<PAGE> 15
Company. Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were used for growth
capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
The indentures covering the $150,000 aggregate principal amount of
First Mortgage Notes and the Senior Notes contain certain covenants that
restrict the Company from taking various actions, including, subject to
specified exceptions, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the granting of
additional liens, the making of investments, the payment of dividends and other
restricted payments, mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental corporate
changes, capital expenditures, operating lease payments and transactions with
affiliates. The Revolving Credit Facility contains other and more restrictive
covenants, including certain financial covenants that require the Company to
meet and maintain certain financial tests and minimum ratios, such as a minimum
working capital ratio, a minimum consolidated net worth and a minimum interest
coverage ratio.
The level of the Company's indebtedness could have important
consequences, including:
- a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from
operations must be dedicated to debt service,
- the Company's ability to obtain additional future debt
financing may be limited and
- the level of indebtedness could limit the Company's
flexibility in reacting to changes in the industry and
economic conditions in general.
The Company expects significant expenditures in 1999, including
interest expense on the First Mortgage Notes, the Senior Notes and the Revolving
Credit Facility and capital expenditures of approximately $50.0 million (a
portion of which will be leased). Because of a change, effective January 1,
1998, to the market value asset valuation method for determining pension plan
contributions, no pension contributions will be required in 1999 with respect to
either current funding or past underfundings. Peak cash needs are in spring and
fall at which time working capital borrowings are estimated to be $20.0 million
higher than at other times of the year. The Company's principal sources of
liquidity through 1999 are expected to be funds derived from operations,
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, payment of intercompany
receivables (which occurred in February 1999) and proceeds from sales of
discontinued manufacturing facilities.
Management believes that the cash flows discussed above, will provide
adequate funds for the Company's working capital needs and capital expenditures.
Cash flows from operations depend on future operating performance which is
subject to prevailing conditions and to financial, business and other factors,
some of which are beyond the Company's control.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to
pass on cost increases in the form of increased sales prices, is dependent upon
market conditions. While the general level of inflation in the domestic economy
has been at relatively low levels, the Company has experienced pricing pressures
in the current market and has not been fully able to pass on inflationary cost
increases to its customers.
SEASONALITY
Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and
other beverage industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer
months, the Company's shipment volume is typically higher in the second and
third quarters. Consequently, the Company will build inventory during the first
quarter in anticipation of seasonal demands during the second and third
quarters. In addition, the Company generally schedules shutdowns of its plants
for furnace rebuilds and machine repairs in the first and fourth quarters of
the year to coincide with scheduled holiday and vacation time under its labor
union contracts. These shutdowns and seasonal sales patterns adversely affect
profitability during the first and fourth quarters. The Company has in the past
and will continue in the future to implement alternatives to reduce downtime
during these periods in order to minimize disruption to the production process
and its negative effect on profitability.

<PAGE> 16
YEAR 2000
The Company's information systems cover a broad spectrum of software
applications for its manufacturing processes, certain of which are
custom-designed. After an extensive study, the Company has updated its plan to
achieve Year 2000 compliance by upgrading both the packaged and custom-designed
software currently in place, along with certain hardware upgrades. These
upgrades are expected to resolve any Year 2000 issues.
The upgrade of certain hardware, including the personal computer-based
environment was completed in December 1998. The primary accounting software
applications have been upgraded to a Year 2000 certified compliant release in
February 1999. The upgrade of other custom-designed software, which represents
a small percentage of the total applications, is expected to be completed in
the third quarter of 1999. Management believes this timetable provides
sufficient time to resolve any unexpected issues.
In addition to software and hardware considerations, the Company has
completed its review of the impact of the Year 2000 on its manufacturing
operations and process controls. The Company has identified components
requiring modification or replacement, and expects that critical control
technology will be Year 2000 compliant in the second quarter 1999 and
non-critical control and reporting systems will be compliant by the third
quarter of 1999.
The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its
significant suppliers to determine the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to the failure of such suppliers to remediate their own Year 2000
problems. The Company is currently in the process of grading the responses from
low to high risk. In addition, although many of the Company's customers have
been communicating with the Company regarding Year 2000 issues, the Company has
not made any formal assessment of the effect which the failure of its larger
customers to remediate their own Year 2000 problems could have on the Company's
operations. Despite, these efforts, there can be no assurance that the systems
of other companies on which the Company relies will be timely converted, or
that a failure to remediate by one or more of the Company's customers or
suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Because we
have not yet completed our overall assessment of Year 2000 issues as they
relate to customers or vendors, we have not formulated contingency plans in
their entirety or determined the costs of these plans. The Company expects to
complete its contingency plan by the third quarter of 1999 and will continue to
evaluate and modify its planning as required by events and circumstances as
they emerge.
Expenditures for Year 2000 compliance will approximate $2.0 million in
the aggregate in 1998 and 1999, of which approximately $1.0 million has been
incurred. However, no assurance can be given that the Company's actual
expenditures for Year 2000 compliance will not be higher.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 --Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133, effective for fiscal
years beginning after September 15, 1999, establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting
for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related
results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company
must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of
adopting SFAS 133 and has not determined the timing or method of adoption. SFAS
133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
With the exception of the historical information contained in this
report, the matters described herein contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may
predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or
achievements, and may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect,"
"estimate," "intend," "project," "will be," "will likely continue," "will likely
result," or words or phrases of similar meaning including, statements
concerning:
- the Company's liquidity and capital resources,
- the Company's debt levels and ability to obtain financing and
service debt,
- competitive pressures and trends in the glass container industry,
- prevailing interest rates,
- legal proceedings and regulatory matters, and
- general economic conditions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (including,
but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological
factors outside the control of the Company) which may cause actual results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties may include the ability of management to implement its business
strategy in view of the Company's limited operating history and the recent
insolvency of Old Anchor; the highly competitive nature of the glass container
market and the intense competition from makers of alternative forms of
packaging; the Company's focus on the beer industry and its dependence on
certain key customers; the seasonal nature of brewing, iced tea and other
beverage industries; the Company's dependence on certain executive officers; and
changes in environmental and other government regulations. The Company operates
in a very competitive environment in which new risk factors can emerge from time
to time. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor
can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or
the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements.
Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company's debt instruments are subject to fixed interest rates and,
in addition, the amount of principal to be repaid at maturity is also fixed.
Therefore, the Company is not subject to market risk from its debt instruments.
Less than 1% of the Company's sales are denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar, and the Company does not believe its total exposure to be
significant.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Old Anchor's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and its
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholder's equity
(deficiency in assets) for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in this
Form 10-K have been previously audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"),
independent accountants to Old Anchor (whose report disclaimed an opinion on the
1996 consolidated financial statements of Old Anchor and included explanatory
paragraphs referring to the bankruptcy proceedings of Old Anchor and to the
remaining deficiency in assets after the sale of substantially all of the assets
and business of Old Anchor and the substantial doubt that it raised relative to
the ability of Old Anchor to continue as a going concern). Pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Anchor Acquisition was subject to
adjustment based on an audited balance sheet (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and
the parties were in settlement negotiations regarding the appropriate
adjustment. As Deloitte was engaged to audit the Closing Balance Sheet (however,
an audit opinion had not been issued) and continues to be the independent
accountants to Old Anchor, Old Anchor informed the Company that it was
inappropriate for Deloitte to provide its consent to the use of its audit report
for this period. Accordingly, Arthur Andersen LLP audited the financial
statements of Old Anchor for this period. There have not been any disagreements
with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
The Company is part of a group of glass manufacturing companies (the
"Affiliated Glass Manufacturers") with Consumers and Glenshaw, each of which is
controlled by Mr. Ghaznavi through G&G. The Company currently engages (and
intends to expand) in a variety of transactions with Consumers and Glenshaw as a
part of its strategy to achieve synergies among the companies. These expected
transactions may include bulk purchasing of raw and packaging materials,
provision of technical and engineering services, joint utilization of Anchor's
mold and repair shops and the possible consolidation of certain functions such
as sales, engineering and management information services.
The Company has entered into an Intercompany Agreement (the
"Intercompany Agreement") with G&G, Consumers, Consumers U.S., Consumers
International Inc., Glenshaw, Hillsboro Glass Company ("Hillsboro"), I.M.T.E.C.
Enterprises, Inc., a machinery manufacturer majority-owned by G&G, and certain
related companies which establishes standards for certain intercompany
transactions. Pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement, the Company may, from time
to time, fill orders for customers of Affiliated Glass Manufacturers and
Affiliated Glass Manufacturers may, from time to time fill orders for customers
of the Company. In such case, where the customer is not a common customer, the
company that does the manufacturing will pay a market commission, set at 5% of
the invoiced amount, to the company that referred the customer. In the event of
a transfer of a customer to the Company by an Affiliated Glass Manufacturers or
to an Affiliated Glass Manufacturers by the Company, the transfer is treated as
though the transferee had filled the orders for the transferred customer.
In connection with any bulk purchasing of raw materials, packaging
materials, machinery, insurance, maintenance services, environmental services
and other items and services used in this business, each of the Affiliated Glass
Manufacturers will share out-of-pocket costs of the purchasing activities
without payment of commissions. Similarly, in connection with the provision of
technical, engineering or
27
<PAGE> 28
model design services, the company providing the services will receive
reasonable per diem fees and costs for the employees provided. For services such
as the provision of molds, the company providing the service will receive cost
plus a reasonable market mark-up.
Transactions carried out in accordance with the Intercompany Agreement
do not require approval of the board of directors or fairness opinions. Any
amendment to the Intercompany Agreement is subject to the Indenture requirement
that it be in writing, on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have
been obtained in a comparable arms' length transaction between the Company and
third parties and is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors
("Affiliate Transaction Provisions"). The Revolving Credit Agreement and the
Indenture require that transactions between the Company and an affiliate be in
writing on no less favorable terms to the Company than would be obtainable in a
comparable arms' length transaction between the Company and a person that is not
an affiliate. In addition, transactions exceeding certain threshold values
require the approval of the Company's board of directors, the approval of the
Company's independent directors or an independent fairness opinion.
Certain affiliates of the Company are engaged in businesses other than
the manufacture of glass containers, such as manufacturing or rehabilitating
manufacturing equipment, automobile and truck leasing, shipping and real estate
management. These transactions are subject to the Affiliate Transaction
Provisions of the indentures.
The Company is party to the Management Agreement with G&G. Pursuant to
the Management Agreement, G&G is to provide specified managerial services for
the Company. For these services, G&G is entitled to receive an annual management
fee of $3.0 million and to reimbursement of its out-of-pocket costs plus an
administrative charge not to exceed 10% of those costs. The Revolving Credit
Agreement and the Indenture limit management fee payments by the Company under
the Management Agreement to $1.5 million per year unless the Company meets
certain financial tests, in which case such fees will accrue. In 1998, such
tests were waived under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the fees due under
the Management Agreement of $3.0 million were accrued. Payment of fees in excess
of $1.5 million are made based upon calculations of restricted payments under
the indentures.
In September 1997, Hillsboro, a glass container manufacturing plant
owned by G&G, discontinued manufacturing. All of Hillsboro's rights and
obligations to fill orders under a supply contract between Consumers and one of
its major customers have been purchased by Consumers and Anchor. In addition, in
connection with a plan to simplify the corporate ownership structure of
Consumers, Anchor and their affiliates, it is anticipated the operating assets
and liabilities of Glenshaw will be acquired by a newly-formed U.S. wholly-owned
subsidiary of Consumers. The purchase price of $54.3 million will be paid in the
form of interests in a newly-formed U.S. subsidiary that will be exchangeable
for common shares of Consumers. We cannot assure you as to when or if this
transaction will be consummated.
The Company from time to time has engaged the law firm of Eckert
Seamans Cherin and Mellott, LLC, to represent it on a variety of matters. C.
Kent May, an executive officer and director of the Company, is a member of such
law firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Anchor Glass Container Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Anchor Glass Container
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of operations and other comprehensive income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from
February 5, 1997 through December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Anchor Glass Container
Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from
February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
AND THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 (THE "1997 PERIOD")
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization of the Company
Anchor Glass Acquisition Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation
and a majority-owned subsidiary of Consumers Packaging Inc. ("Consumers"), was
formed in January 1997 to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities
of Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("Old Anchor"), now Anchor Resolution
Corp., which is being liquidated in a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended.
On February 5, 1997, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 18,
1996, as amended (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), among Consumers,
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. ("Owens") and Old Anchor, the Company (the
rights and obligations of Consumers having been assigned to the Company) and
Owens acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain
liabilities, of Old Anchor.
Upon consummation of the purchase and effective February 6, 1997, the Company
changed its name to Anchor Glass Container Corporation.
Business Segment
The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a diverse line of clear,
amber, green and other color glass containers of various types, designs and
sizes to customers principally in the beer, liquor, food, tea, and beverage
industries. The Company markets its products throughout the United States. The
Company's international and export sales are insignificant. Sales to
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. and The Stroh Brewery Company ("Stroh's")
represented approximately 17.1% and 16.8%, respectively, of total net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and 8.8% and 15.6%, respectively, of total net
sales for the 1997 Period. Revenues are recognized as product is shipped to
customers. The loss of a significant customer, unless replaced, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business.
In February 1999, Stroh's entered into an agreement to sell its assets to a
consortium made up of Pabst Brewing Company ("Pabst") and Miller Brewing
Company ("Miller") which is expected to become final in the second quarter.
Under the terms of the agreement, Anchor does not expect to incur any write-off
of its assets. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the near
term production for Stroh's will be replaced with production for Pabst and
Miller.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of
substantially all inventories of raw materials and semi-finished and finished
products is determined on the first-in, first-out method. Manufacturing
supplies and certain other inventories are valued at weighted average costs.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment expenditures, including renewals, betterments and
furnace rebuilds which extend useful lives, and expenditures for glass forming
machine molds are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial statement purposes,
except for molds for which depreciation is recorded on a unit of production
method based on units of glass produced with a minimum depreciation charge of
50% of the straight line rate, while accelerated depreciation methods are
F-10
<PAGE> 45
principally used for tax purposes. Generally, annual depreciation rates range
from 2.5% for buildings, 6.3% to 20% for machinery and equipment and 40% for
molds. Furnace and machine rebuilds, which are recurring in nature and which
extend the lives of the related assets, are capitalized and depreciated over
the period of extension, generally at rates of 20% to 25%, based on the type
and extent of these rebuilds. Depreciation of leased property recorded as
capital assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as
incurred.
Strategic Alliance with Customers
The Company has entered into long-term agreements with several customers.
Payments made or to be made to these customers are being amortized as a
component of net sales on the statement of operations over the term of the
related supply contract, which range between 1 and 15 years, based upon
shipments.
Acquisition of Manufacturing Rights
In September 1997, Hillsboro Glass Company ("Hillsboro"), a glass-manufacturing
plant owned by G&G Investments, Inc. ("G&G") (the majority owner of Consumers),
discontinued manufacturing. All of Hillsboro's rights and obligations to fill
orders under a supply contract between Consumers and one of its major customers
was purchased by Consumers and the Company effective December 31, 1997. The
purchase price of the Company's portion of this contract was $12,525, of which
$8,550 was paid in 1998. Although the purchase price was based upon an
independent valuation, because these manufacturing rights were acquired from a
related party under common control, the $3,200 carrying value of these rights
previously recorded on Hillsboro's books was maintained. The excess of the
purchase price over the carrying value had been treated as a distribution to a
shareholder in 1997.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of net assets acquired and is amortized on a straight line basis over a
twenty year period. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 1998
and the 1997 Period were $2,768 and $2,857, respectively.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable includes the amount of checks issued and outstanding.
Income Taxes
The Company applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -
Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109") which establishes financial accounting
and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes which result from a
company's activities during the current and preceding years.
Retirement Plans
The Company has retirement plans, principally non-contributory, covering
substantially all salaried and hourly employees. The Company's funding policy
is to pay at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 and the Retirement Protection Act of 1994, which
requires the Company to make significant additional contributions into its
underfunded defined benefit plans, under certain conditions.
Post-retirement Benefits
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - Employers' Accounting for
Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("SFAS 106") requires accrual of
post-retirement benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the period that
an employee provides service. This accounting method has no effect on the
Company's cash outlays for these post-retirement benefits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 - Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the estimated fair values
of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value
F-11
<PAGE> 46
amounts have been determined using available market information or other
appropriate valuation methodologies that require considerable judgment in
interpreting market data and developing estimates. Accordingly, the estimates
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company
could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts. Long-term debt is estimated to have a fair value
of approximately $212,000 as of December 31, 1998. The carrying amount of other
financial instruments, except for the natural gas futures discussed in Note 13,
approximate their estimated fair values.
The fair value information presented herein is based on information available
to management as of December 31, 1998. Although management is not aware of any
factors that would significantly affect the estimated value amounts, such
amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial
statements since that date and, therefore, the current estimates of fair value
may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
From time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements
that effectively hedge interest rate exposure. The net cash amount paid or
received on these agreements is accrued and recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense.
Earnings per Share
In 1997, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 sets forth requirements for
computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per common
share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock by
the weighted-average number of common shares and contingently issuable shares
outstanding during the period. Warrants outstanding are contingently issuable
shares as they are issuable for no additional consideration and the conditions
necessary for share exercise have been met. There is no diluted earnings per
share presented as the assumed conversion of preferred stock would be
anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic loss per share is as follows (dollars in thousands,
except per share):

=========== ===========
</TABLE>
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimated.
NOTE 2 - PURCHASE OF ASSETS
The Company purchased eleven operating glass container manufacturing facilities
and other related assets (the "Anchor Acquisition"). Owens purchased assets and
assumed liabilities of Old Anchor's Antioch and Hayward, California facilities
and purchased certain other existing inventories. Owens also purchased Old
Anchor's investment in Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, a joint venture with
Coors Brewing Company ("Coors"), and assumed Old Anchor's agreement to
manufacture Coors' glass packaging products in the United States.
F-12
<PAGE> 47
The total purchase price approximated $378,000, excluding fees of approximately
$1,500 which were paid by Consumers and recorded as capital in excess of par by
the Company. The portion of the purchase price paid in cash by Owens amounted
to approximately $128,000. The remaining purchase price of approximately
$250,000 from the Company was comprised of: approximately $200,500 in cash,
$47,000 face amount (1,879,320 shares) of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative
convertible preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and $2,500 of common
stock (490,898 shares with an estimated value of $5.00 per share) (the "Class A
Common Stock") of the Company.
In June 1998, as part of an adjustment to the purchase price for the Anchor
Acquisition, the Company paid to Old Anchor an additional $1,000 in cash and
issued 1,225,000 warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock, valued
at approximately $6,100. In addition, the Company issued 525,000 warrants to
purchase additional shares of common stock to an affiliate of Consumers U.S.,
valued at approximately $2,600. None of the warrants to be issued will require
any payment upon exercise. The effects of the settlement have been reflected in
the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 1997.
The Company obtained the cash portion of the purchase price principally from an
$85,000 cash investment by Consumers in $84,000 face amount (3,360,000 shares)
of redeemable 8% cumulative convertible preferred stock (the "Series B
Preferred Stock") and $1,000 of common stock (200,000 shares) (the "Class B
Common Stock") and a $130,000 bank loan.
The Anchor Acquisition is accounted for by using the purchase method, with the
purchase price being allocated to the assets acquired and preacquisition
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of
acquisition. These allocations are based on appraisals, evaluations,
estimations and other studies. Certain acquisition costs and fees, including
the costs of closing and consolidating certain facilities have also been
recorded by the Company at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets purchased of approximately $59,405 is
classified as Goodwill on the accompanying balance sheet.
The estimated values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February
5, 1997 after giving effect to the Anchor Acquisition and consideration paid is
as follows:
<TABLE>

Accounts receivable ........................................ $ 46,000

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the Company for the
year ended December 31, 1997 assumes the Anchor Acquisition occurred on January
1, 1997 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

</TABLE>
These pro forma amounts represent historical operating results with appropriate
adjustments of the Anchor Acquisition which give effect to interest expense and
the impact of purchase price adjustments to depreciation and amortization
expense. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results
that would
F-13
<PAGE> 48
have actually been obtained had the Anchor Acquisition been completed as of
January 1, 1997, or that may be obtained in the future.
On January 9, 1997, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") notified
Old Anchor that it intended to institute involuntary termination proceedings
with respect to the three defined benefit pension plans then maintained by Old
Anchor, and currently maintained by the Company. However, the PBGC reached an
agreement with Vitro, S.A., the parent of Old Anchor, in which Vitro, S.A.
agreed to provide a limited guaranty to the PBGC with respect to the unfunded
benefit liabilities of the Company's defined benefit plans, if the plans, or
any one of them, are terminated before August 1, 2006. Consequently, the PBGC
agreed not to terminate the plans as a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and the assumption of the plans by the Company. In conjunction with the
purchase, the Company assumed all liabilities of the plans and funded $9,056 of
plan contributions, previously unfunded following Old Anchor's filing of
Chapter 11. Additionally, the Company issued to the plans $9,000 face amount
(360,000 shares) of Series A Preferred Stock.
NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In the third quarter of 1998, formal plans were approved to remove from service
one furnace and one machine at the Jacksonville, Florida manufacturing
facility. The furnace ceased operation in December 1998 and approximately 100
hourly employees were terminated. The Company has recorded a restructuring
charge in 1998 of $4,400. Of this total charge, approximately $2,365 relates to
operating lease exit costs, approximately $875 represents closing and other
costs and approximately $760 relates to the write-down of certain equipment to
net realizable value. This plan was announced in October 1998 and, as a result,
the Company recorded $400 of the total restructuring charge in the fourth
quarter of 1998 related to certain employee costs.
NOTE 4 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
In conjunction with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company entered into a credit
agreement dated as of February 5, 1997, with Bankers Trust Company ("BTCo") as
issuing bank and BT Commercial Corporation, as agent, to provide a $110,000
senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The
Revolving Credit Facility enables the Company to obtain revolving credit loans
for working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit for its
account in an aggregate amount not to exceed $110,000. Advances outstanding at
any one time cannot exceed an amount equal to the borrowing base as defined in
the Revolving Credit Facility.
Revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate based upon, at the Company's
option, (i) the higher of the prime rate of BTCo, 0.5% in excess of the
overnight federal funds rate and 0.5% in excess of the adjusted certificate of
deposit rate, as defined, each plus a defined margin, or (ii) the average of
the offering rates of banks in the New York interbank Eurodollar market, plus a
defined margin. Interest is payable monthly. A commitment fee of 0.5% on the
unused portion of the facility and letter of credit fees, as defined, are
payable quarterly. The Revolving Credit Facility expires February 5, 2002.
At December 31, 1998, advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility
were $50,162 and the borrowing availability was $21,320. The total outstanding
letters of credit on this facility were $11,100. At December 31, 1998, the
weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 7.5%. During 1998,
average advances outstanding were $39,354, the average interest rate was 7.8%
and the highest month-end advance was $54,818.
The Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a
first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's inventories and
accounts receivable and related collateral and a second priority pledge of all
of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Class B Common Stock. In addition, the
Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by
Consumers U.S., Inc., ("Consumers U.S.") the Company's parent and a
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Consumers and the holder of the outstanding
Series B Preferred Stock and Class B Common Stock.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that restrict the
Company from taking various actions, including, subject to specified
exceptions, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the granting of
additional liens, the making of investments, the payment of dividends and other
restricted payments, mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental corporate
changes, capital expenditures, operating lease payments and transactions with
F-14
<PAGE> 49
affiliates. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain financial
covenants that require the Company to meet and maintain certain financial tests
and minimum ratios, including a minimum working capital ratio, a minimum
consolidated net worth test and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of the following:

Effective March 16, 1998, the Company completed an offering of an aggregate
principal amount of $50,000 of its 9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Senior
Notes") issued under an Indenture dated as of March 16, 1998, among the
Company, Consumers U.S. and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Senior Notes
are unsecured obligations of the Company ranking equal in right of payment with
all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and senior in right
of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes have been used for growth
capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at 9 7/8% per annum and is payable
semiannually on each March 15 and September 15 to registered holders of the
Senior Notes at the close of business on the March 1 and September 1
immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.
The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on March 16, 1998.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company filed an exchange offer registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared
effective on April 28, 1998. In June 1998, the Company completed an offer to
the holders of the Senior Notes to exchange their Senior Notes for like
principal amount of new Senior Notes, substantially identical to the Senior
Notes except that the new Senior Notes do not contain terms with respect to
transfer restrictions.
The Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company, in
whole and not in part, at redemption prices defined in the Indenture. The
Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a change in control, the Company
will be required to offer to repurchase all of the Senior Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus interest accrued to the date
of purchase.
In connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company entered into a Senior
Credit Agreement, dated as of February 5, 1997, with BTCo, as agent, to provide
a $130,000 bank loan (the "Anchor Loan Facility"). The Anchor Loan Facility was
repaid in full from the net proceeds of the issuance of the $150,000 11 1/4%
First Mortgage Notes, due 2005, (the " First Mortgage Notes"). The Anchor Loan
Facility bore interest at a rate of 12.50%.
As additional consideration in providing the Anchor Loan Facility, the Company
issued to BT Securities Corporation and TD Securities, 1,405,229 warrants
convertible to Class C Common Stock. The warrants are valued at approximately
$7,000. As a result of the refinancing of the Anchor Loan Facility, deferred
financing fees of $11,200 were written off as an extraordinary loss in the
second quarter of 1997.
Effective April 17, 1997, the Company completed an offering of the First
Mortgage Notes, issued under an indenture dated as of April 17, 1997 (the
"Indenture"), among the Company, Consumers U.S. and The Bank of New York, as
Trustee. The First Mortgage Notes are senior secured obligations of the
Company, ranking senior in right of payment to all existing and future
subordinate indebtedness of the Company and equal with all
F-15
<PAGE> 50
existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The First Mortgage
Notes are guaranteed by Consumers U.S. Proceeds from the issuance of the First
Mortgage Notes, net of fees, were approximately $144,000 and were used to repay
$130,000 outstanding under the Anchor Loan Facility and $8,800 of advances
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, with the balance used for
general corporate purposes.
The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on April 17, 1997.
Following the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes, the Company filed, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, an exchange offer registration statement,
declared effective on February 12, 1998, with respect to an issue of 11 1/4%
First Mortgage Notes, due 2005, identical in all material respects to the First
Mortgage Notes, except that the new First Mortgage Notes would not bear legends
restricting the transfer thereof. In March 1998, the Company completed an offer
to the holders of the First Mortgage Notes to exchange their First Mortgage
Notes for a like principal amount of new First Mortgage Notes. As a result of
delays in having the registration statement declared effective and in
consummating the related exchange offer within prescribed periods, additional
interest was payable to the holders of the First Mortgage Notes in 1998.
Interest on the First Mortgage Notes accrues at 11 1/4% per annum and is
payable semiannually on each April 1 and October 1 to registered holders of the
First Mortgage Notes at the close of business on the March 15 and September 15
immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.
The First Mortgage Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's
option on or after April 1, 2001, at redemption prices defined in the
Indenture. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a change in
control, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of the First
Mortgage Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal
amount plus interest accrued to the date of purchase. Prior to the sale of the
First Mortgage Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
to partially protect the Company from interest rate fluctuations until such
time as the fixed interest rate on the First Mortgage Notes was established.
The agreement was terminated concurrent with the interest rate of the First
Mortgage Notes being set. The realized gain on the agreement, approximately
$1,900, has been deferred and is being amortized over the term of the First
Mortgage Notes.
All of the obligations of the Company under the First Mortgage Notes and the
Indenture are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in
substantially all of the existing and future real property, personal property
and other assets of the Company and a first priority perfected security
interest in collateral ranking equal with the security interest in favor of the
Revolving Credit Facility.
The indentures covering the First Mortgage Notes and the Senior Notes, subject
to certain exceptions, restrict the Company from taking various actions,
including, but not limited to, subject to specified exceptions, the incurrence
of additional indebtedness, the granting of additional liens, the payment of
dividends and other restricted payments, mergers, acquisitions and transactions
with affiliates.
All of the Company's debt agreements contain cross-default provisions.
Principal payments required on long-term debt are $840 in 1999, $885 in 2000,
$620 in 2001, $633 in 2002 and $240 in 2003. Payments to be made in 2004 and
thereafter are $200,542.
In connection with the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes on April 17, 1997,
the Company issued 702,615 shares of Class B Common Stock to Consumers U.S. and
702,614 warrants, valued at $5.00 for each share and warrant, to the initial
purchasers. As the Company has already incurred the internal general and
administrative expenses related to the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes,
the issuance of the shares to Consumers U.S. was treated as a shareholder
distribution. The value of the warrants issued to the initial purchasers has
been deferred to be amortized over the life of the First Mortgage Notes.
NOTE 6 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has designated 2,239,320 shares as Series A Preferred Stock and
5,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock
ranks, as to dividends and redemption and upon liquidation, prior to all other
classes and series of capital stock of the Company. The holders of Series A
Preferred Stock
F-16
<PAGE> 51
are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company, cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in cash, at an annual rate of
10%. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote, except as
defined in its Certificate of Designation. Although no dividends have been
declared or paid as of December 31, 1998 they have been accrued.
The Company is required to redeem all outstanding shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock on January 31, 2009, and, on or after February 5, 2000, may, at
its option, redeem outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of
$25.00 per share, if the trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds
$6.00 per share. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares
of Class A Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a ratio determined by
dividing the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock by $6.00 and
such ratio is subject to adjustment from time to time.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company registered all of the
shares of the Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Series A Preferred
Stock under the Securities Exchange Act and is obligated to qualify the shares
for listing on a nationally recognized United States securities exchange or on
The NASDAQ Stock Market's National Market.
The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividends and redemption and upon
liquidation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock but senior to all other
classes and series of capital stock of the Company. The holders of Series B
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly
at an annual rate of 8%. During the period from February 5, 1997 through and
including December 31, 1999, the dividend is payable in additional shares of
Series B Preferred Stock. Thereafter, the dividends will be payable in cash
when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Holders of Series B Preferred
Stock are not entitled to vote, except as defined in its Certificate of
Designation.
Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not subject to mandatory redemption. On
or after February 5, 2000, the Company may, at its option, redeem outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share, if the
trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $5.50 per share. Shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Class B Common Stock,
at the option of the holder, at a ratio determined by dividing the liquidation
value of the Series A Preferred Stock by $5.50 and such ratio is subject to
adjustment from time to time.
NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK
For the period from February 5, 1997 to February 5, 2000, the common stock is
divided into three classes, Class A and Class B, which are voting, and Class C,
which is non-voting. During this period, the number of Directors of the Company
is fixed at eleven, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, with the holders of the Class A shares having the right to elect
four Directors and the holders of the Class B shares having the right to elect
seven Directors. Holders of the Class C shares do not participate in the
election of Directors. On February 5, 2000, the three classes of common stock
will automatically be consolidated into one single class of common stock with
identical rights. The Company currently has outstanding warrants exercisable
for 267,934 shares of Class A Common Stock, 525,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock and 2,826,016 shares of Class C Common Stock at an exercise price of $.10
per share, which has already been deemed paid.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY INFORMATION
G&G Investments, Inc.
The Company is party to a management agreement with G&G, in which G&G is to
provide specified managerial services for the Company. For these services, G&G
is entitled to receive an annual management fee of $3,000 and reimbursement of
its out-of-pocket costs. The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and the
indentures limit the management fee annual payment to $1,500 unless certain
financial maintenance tests are met. The Company has recorded an expense of
$3,000 and $2,750, respectively, for this agreement for the year ended December
31, 1998 and the 1997 Period, of which $1,875 remains outstanding.

The receivables owed to the Company by Consumers and its affiliates were
substantially paid in February 1999.
In September 1998, G&G entered (acting on behalf of Consumers) into an
agreement to purchase the controlling interest in a European glass manufacturer
and had advanced $17,300 toward that end. This amount was funded by G&G through
an advance from the Company of approximately $17,300 in September 1998. The
advance is evidenced by a promissory note which originally matured in January
1999. This advance was permitted through an amendment to the intercompany
agreement, which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Management
extended the maturity of the promissory note to March 31, 1999, and currently
has an agreement in principle to further extend the maturity to May 15, 1999.
The funds were obtained through borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company has pledged the promissory note to the lenders under the Revolving
Credit Facility and G&G has provided security against the promissory note to
the lenders. Interest on the note is payable at the interest rate payable by
the Company on its revolving credit advances plus 1/2%. A number of issues have
arisen and the transaction has not closed. Should the transaction not close,
the sellers are obligated to return the advance to G&G. G&G has demanded the
return of the advance plus interest accrued to date, and will upon receipt,
repay the advance from the Company. Discussions are continuing, but as of this
date outstanding issues have not been resolved. Failing a resolution of the
issues or a repayment of the advance, G&G intends to begin an arbitration
proceeding in accordance with the terms of the agreement to secure a return of
the advance.
In 1998, the Company advanced $950 to Consumers, which was repaid in February
1999.
All transactions with the Company and its affiliates are conducted on terms
which, in the opinion of management, are no less favorable than with third
parties. The sale of molds to Consumers is invoiced as cost plus a profit
mark-up. The amount of this mark-up, $1,100, has been recorded as a
contribution from shareholder and included in capital in excess of par value.
Stock Option Plan
The Company participates in the Director and Employee Incentive Stock Option
Plan, 1996 of Consumers. Options to purchase 1,066,500 shares of Consumers
common stock, at exercise prices that range from $9.65 to $13.50 (Canadian
dollars), were granted to all salaried employees of the Company in 1997.
Options to purchase 51,000 shares of Consumers common stock at an exercise
price of $9.75 were granted in 1998. The Company
F-18
<PAGE> 53
has elected to follow Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, because the exercise price
of employee stock options equals the market price of the stock on the date of
the grant, no compensation expense is recorded. The Company adopted the
disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123").

339,667 of options are exercisable at December 31, 1998 and the weighted
average remaining contractual life of the options is 8.9 years.
The Company applied APB 25 in accounting for these stock options and
accordingly, no compensation cost has been reported in the financial statements
for the periods ended December 31, 1998. In accordance with SFAS 123, the fair
value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for pro forma
footnote purposes: (i) risk-free interest rate of 5.76%, (ii) expected option
life of 5 years, (iii) expected volatility of 41.51% and (iv) no expected
dividend yield.
Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for these options under SFAS 123, the Company's net loss would have
increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

NOTE 9 - PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
As part of the Anchor Acquisition, the Company assumed the pension plans
previously maintained by Old Anchor. The Company has defined benefit retirement
plans for salaried and hourly-paid employees. Effective December 31, 1998, the
salary and hourly plans were merged. Benefits are calculated on a salary-based
formula for salaried participants and on a service-based formula for hourly
participants. The Company provides other post-retirement benefits to
substantially all salaried, and certain hourly employees under several plans.
SFAS 106 requires accrual of post-retirement benefits (such as healthcare
benefits) during the years an employee provides services. Currently, the
Company funds these healthcare benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Company
also contributes to a multi-employer trust, and under the requirements of SFAS
106, recognizes as post-retirement benefit cost the required annual
contribution. The Company's cash flows are not affected by implementation of
SFAS 106. The components of net periodic benefit costs are summarized below:

The Company has unfunded obligations related to its employee pension plans. The
Retirement Protection Act of 1994 requires the Company to make significant
additional funding contributions into its underfunded defined benefit
retirement plans, under certain conditions, and will increase the premiums
paid to the PBGC. Excluding payments made as part of the Anchor Acquisition,
the Company funded required contributions of approximately $10,900 and
$20,000, respectively, in 1998 and 1997. Effective January 1, 1998, a change
to the market value asset valuation method for determining pension plan
contributions was made. As a result, no further pension contributions were
required in 1998 with respect to either current funding or past underfundings.
As an objection to the sale, the PBGC entered a determination to terminate Old
Anchor's qualified defined benefit pension plans. However, in conjunction with
the sale, the Company assumed all liabilities of the plans and funded $9,056 of
plan contributions, previously unfunded following Old Anchor's filing of
Chapter 11. Additionally, the Company issued $9,000 face amount of Series A
Preferred Stock and Vitro, the parent of Old Anchor, has guaranteed to fund
certain qualified defined benefit plan obligations, should the Company default
on its obligations. Consequently, the PBGC agreed not to terminate the plans as
a result of the acquisition and the assumption of the plans by the Company. The
agreement with the PBGC requires the Company to appoint an independent trustee
to hold the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company is in the process of
selecting a trustee, but has not yet done so.

</TABLE>
Pension plan assets are held by an independent trustee and consist primarily of
investments in equities, fixed income and government securities. There is
currently no public market for the Series A Preferred Stock and no dividends
have been paid during the current year. The Company has received a valuation of
the contributed Series A Preferred Stock in the fourth quarter of 1997. Based
upon this valuation, the Company was required to contribute approximately $745
to bring the total value of the Series A Preferred Stock contribution up to the
$9,000 contributed value.
The Company also sponsors two defined contribution plans covering substantially
all salaried and hourly employees. In 1994, the salaried retirement and savings
programs were changed, resulting in the freezing of benefits under the defined
benefit pension plans for salaried employees and amending the defined
contribution savings plan for salaried employees. Under the amended savings
plan, the Company matched employees' basic contributions to the plan in an
amount equal to 150% (through December 31, 1997) of the first 4% of an
employee's compensation. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company match was
reduced to 100% of the first 4% of an employee's compensation. Expenses under
the savings programs for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the 1997 Period
were approximately $2,010 and $2,000, respectively.
F-21
<PAGE> 56
The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust which provides certain
other post-retirement benefits to retired hourly employees. Expenses under this
program for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the 1997 Period were $4,107
and $3,781, respectively.
The assumed healthcare cost trend used in measuring the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1998 was 7.5% declining
gradually to 5.0% by the year 2003, after which it remains constant. A one
percentage point increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate for each
year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 1998 by approximately $3,600 and the net post-retirement
healthcare cost for the year ended December 31, 1998 by approximately $800. A
one percentage point decrease in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate for
each year would decrease the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as
of December 31, 1998 by approximately $12,800 and the net post-retirement
healthcare cost for the year ended December 31, 1998 by approximately $660.
NOTE 10 - PLANT CLOSING COSTS
In an effort to reduce the Company's cost structure and improve productivity,
the Company closed its Houston, Texas plant effective February 1997 and its
Dayville, Connecticut plant effective April 1997 and included the liabilities
assumed as part of the Anchor Acquisition cost. Closure of these facilities
will result in the consolidation of underutilized manufacturing operations and
is expected to be completed by February 5, 1999. Substantially all of the
hourly and salaried employees at these plants, approximately 600 in total, have
been terminated. Exit charges and the amounts charged against the liability as
of December 31, 1998 are as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The Company applies SFAS 109 under which the liability method is used in
accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes,
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Under SFAS 109, if on the basis
of available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized, the asset must be reduced by a
valuation allowance. Since realization is not assured at of December 31, 1998,
management has deemed it appropriate to establish a valuation allowance against
the net tax asset.

NOTE 12 - LEASES
The Company leases distribution and office facilities, machinery,
transportation, data processing and office equipment under non-cancelable
leases which expire at various dates through 2004. These leases generally
provide for fixed rental payments and include renewal and purchase options at
amounts which are generally based on fair market value at expiration of the
lease. The Company has no material capital leases.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases are as
follows:

Rental expense for all operating leases for the year ended December 31, 1998
and the period from February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997 were $17,745 and
$17,547, respectively.
In connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company assumed and amended Old
Anchor's lease of the headquarters facility located in Tampa, Florida and a
related option to purchase. The term of the amended lease expired February 1,
1998. In January 1998, the Company exercised its option to purchase the
headquarters

facility and assigned such option to a third party purchaser of the facility.
The Company has entered into a ten year lease pursuant to which the Company
leases a portion of the headquarters facility.
NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a respondent in various environment-related cases. The
measurement of liabilities in these cases and other environmental concerns is
based on available facts of each situation and considers factors such as prior
experience in remediation efforts and presently enacted environmental laws and
regulations. In the opinion of management, based upon information presently
known, the Company has adequately provided for environmental liabilities. The
Company is not otherwise party to, and none of its assets are subject to any
other pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to its business and against which the Company is adequately insured
and indemnified or which is not material. The Company believes that the
ultimate outcome of these cases will not materially affect future operations.
The Company's labor contract with approximately 90% of its hourly personnel
expires on March 31, 1999. Negotiations are presently being conducted, although
a contract offer has yet to be advanced. If no satisfactory agreement is
reached, and a work stoppage ensues, the Company believes that its cash
position in the near term will be sufficient to continue operations on a
reduced basis.
At December 31, 1998, the Company has hedged certain of its 1999 and 2000
estimated natural gas purchases through the purchase of natural gas futures in
the amount of $19,033. These future contracts are accounted for as hedges of
future production costs and accordingly, the unrealized loss of $1,528 on these
contracts is deferred and will be included in the cost of inventory production
in the month of the related future contract.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Anchor Glass Container Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anchor
Resolution Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) (the Company) as of February 4, 1997
and December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholder's equity (deficiency in assets) and cash flows for the period from
January 1, 1997 to February 4, 1997, and the year ended December 31, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to report on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our report.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Anchor Resolution Corp. as of February 4, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1,
1997, to February 4, 1997, and the year ended December 31, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
experienced significant losses in the last three fiscal years, and has a net
deficiency in assets of $284,959,000 at February 4, 1997. As described in Notes
2 and 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in September
1996, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, as discussed in Note 2, on February
5, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and certain
liabilities. The Company's bankruptcy petition and remaining deficiency in
assets after this sale raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical
cost basis of accounting and reflect adjustments for the impairment of goodwill
and other long-lived assets. As discussed in Note 3, Anchor Resolution Corp.
(formerly known as Anchor Glass Container Corporation) (the "Company") is
operating as a debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the
bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, the consolidated financial statements do
not purport to show (a) as to assets, the remaining assets, their realizable
value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b)
as to prepetition liabilities, the amounts that may be allowed for claims or
contingencies, or the status and priority thereof; or (c) as to stockholder's
accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of
the Company; or (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be
made in the Company's remaining business.
Organization of the Company
At February 4, 1997, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Container
Holdings Corp. ("Container") which is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of
Vitro, Sociedad Anonima ("Vitro"), a limited liability corporation incorporated
under the laws of the United Mexican States. On September 13, 1996, the Company
filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") (See Note 3). On February 5, 1997,
Consumers Packaging Inc. ("CPI") and Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc.
("OI") acquired substantially all of the assets and business of the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement (See Note 2). The financial
statements for the period from January 1, 1997 to February 4, 1997 (the "1997
Interim Period") represent the final period of operations of the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segment
The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a diverse line of clear,
amber, green and other color glass containers of various types, designs and
sizes to customers principally in the beer, food, iced tea, distilled spirits,
wine and soft drink industries. The Company markets its products throughout the
United States. The Company's international operations and export sales are
insignificant. Sales to Anheuser-Busch represented 6% and 11% of total net
sales for the 1997 Interim Period and the year ended 1996, respectively. As a
result of the current highly competitive environment, the Company had been
informed by Anheuser-Busch that the Company's 1996 and future volume
allocations would be reduced. Additionally, sales to The Stroh Brewery Company
represented 10.0% and 10.8% of total net sales for the 1997 Interim Period and
the year ended 1996.
H-9
<PAGE> 68
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of
substantially all inventories of raw materials and semi-finished and finished
products is determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. At February
4, 1997 and December 31, 1996 the estimated current cost of these inventories
exceeds their stated value determined on the LIFO basis by approximately
$16,740. Manufacturing supplies and certain other inventories are valued at
weighted average actual or standard costs that approximate actual costs.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment expenditures, including renewals, betterments and
furnace rebuilds, which extend useful lives, and expenditures for glass forming
machine molds are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial statement purposes
while accelerated depreciation methods are principally used for tax purposes.
Generally, annual depreciation rates range from 2.5% for buildings, 6.3% to 20%
for machinery and equipment and 40% for molds. Furnace and machine rebuilds,
which are recurring in nature and which extend the lives of the related assets,
are recorded as a charge to accumulated depreciation. Annual depreciation rates
for such expenditures range from 20% to 25%, based on the type and extent of
these rebuilds. Depreciation of leased property recorded as capital assets is
computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred.
Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired (Goodwill)
As a result of the declining profitability, diminishing cash flows and the
Company's bankruptcy as discussed in Note 3, the recoverable value of the
carrying amount of long-lived assets and intangibles was reviewed for
impairment.
Prior to the sale of substantially all of its assets, the Company used
projected undiscounted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization but after maintenance capital expenditures as compared to the
unamortized balance of goodwill and other long-lived assets, to measure any
impairment, and as of December 31, 1995, no impairment was calculated. As a
result of the sale of the Company's assets, in late 1996, the Company used
projected proceeds from the sale as a measure of impairment of goodwill.
Based upon this review, the amount of remaining excess of purchase price over
fair value of net assets acquired of $457,232 and other long-lived assets of
$33,000 were written off in the year ended December 31, 1996.
The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired had been amortized on
a straight line basis over a 40 year period. Amortization expense, included as
a component of cost of products sold, for the year ended December 31, 1996 was
$13,920.
Income Taxes
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income
Taxes ("SFAS 109") establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
the effects of income taxes which result from a company's activities during the
current and preceding years. In general, SFAS 109 requires that each company
within a consolidated group recognize tax expense based on its own income. The
Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return with Container and
its subsidiaries. To the extent that current operating loss benefits of the
consolidated group or post acquisition loss carryforwards are allocated to the
Company as a reduction of current income taxes payable, such benefits are
reflected as a contribution of capital. The Company's tax benefits arising
prior to acquisition (preacquisition losses) are reflected as a reduction in
goodwill when the losses are utilized. Post acquisition losses of the Company
are used to offset current or future income tax provisions.

Retirement Plans
The Company has retirement plans, principally non-contributory, covering
substantially all salaried and hourly employees. The Company's funding policy
is to pay at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings (See
Note 3), certain plan contributions were not made as of February 4, 1997 (See
Note 12). At February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded
an additional minimum pension liability for underfunded plans representing the
excess of the underfunded liability over previously recorded accrued pension
costs.
Post-retirement Benefits
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - Employers' Accounting for
Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("SFAS 106") requires accrual of
post-retirement benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the period that
an employee provides service. The transition obligation from the adoption of
SFAS 106 approximated $3,400 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of twenty years. This accounting method has no effect on the
Company's cash outlays for these retirement benefits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 - Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the estimated fair values
of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been
determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation
methodologies that require considerable judgment in interpreting market data
and developing estimates. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. Based on the uncertainty of the ultimate outcome of the Bankruptcy
Proceedings, discussed in Note 3, the Company is unable to estimate the fair
value of long-term debt at February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996. The carrying
amount of other financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values.
The fair value information presented herein is based on information available
to management as of February 4, 1997. Such amounts have not been
comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that
date and, therefore, the current estimates of fair value may differ
significantly from the amounts presented herein. As a result of the Bankruptcy
Proceedings discussed in Note 3, the ultimate value of these financial
instruments is dependent upon the payment under the Company's future plan of
reorganization.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimated.
NOTE 2 - SALE OF ASSETS
On February 5, 1997, OI and Anchor Glass Acquisition Corporation ("New
Anchor"), a majority-owned subsidiary of CPI, acquired substantially all of the
assets and business of the Company, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement
dated December 18, 1996, as amended (the "Agreement").
New Anchor purchased eleven operating glass container manufacturing facilities,
five idled glass container manufacturing facilities and other related assets.
OI purchased assets and assumed liabilities of the Company's Antioch,
California and Hayward, California facilities and purchased certain other
existing inventories. OI also purchased the Company's investment in Rocky
Mountain Bottle Company, a joint venture with Coors Brewing Company ("Coors"),
and assumed the Company's agreement to manufacture Coors' glass packaging
products in the United States.
H-11
<PAGE> 70
The total purchase price approximated $378,000, excluding fees of approximately
$1,500. The purchase price received from OI amounted to approximately $128,000
and was received in cash. The remaining purchase price of approximately
$250,000 from New Anchor was comprised of: approximately $200,500 in cash,
$47,000 face amount (1,879,320 shares) of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative
convertible preferred stock and $2,500 of common stock (490,898 shares with an
estimated value of $5.00 per share) of New Anchor.
The purchase price paid by New Anchor in connection with the Anchor Acquisition
is subject to adjustment. On June 13, 1997, the Company delivered to New Anchor
the closing balance sheet which indicated that the Company believed that it was
entitled to additional payments from New Anchor and Owens totaling
approximately $76,300. On July 28, 1997, New Anchor delivered its notice of
disagreement to the Company, which requested a reduction of the purchase price
of approximately $96,800. Since that time, the parties have been negotiating
the amount of the adjustment, and have reached a proposed settlement (the
"Proposed Settlement"). The Proposed Settlement requires the payment by New
Anchor to the Company of an additional $1,000 in cash and the issuance of
1,225,000 warrants for the purchase of additional shares of common stock. None
of the warrants to be issued will require any payment upon exercise. The
Proposed Settlement is subject to final approval by the Company, New Anchor and
the bankruptcy court.
Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding balance of the DIP
Facility and accrued interest thereon, of approximately $109,000 at February 4,
1997. The remainder of the proceeds will be used against prepetition
liabilities, as ultimately determined under the Company's Plan of
Reorganization (see Note 3).
Upon consummation of the purchase and effective February 6, 1997, New Anchor
changed its name to Anchor Glass Container Corporation and the Company changed
its name to Anchor Resolution Corp.
As an objection to the sale, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC")
entered a determination to terminate the Company's qualified defined benefit
pension plans. However, in conjunction with the sale, New Anchor assumed all
liabilities of the plans and funded approximately $9,100 of plan contributions,
previously unfunded following the Company's filing of Chapter 11 (see Note 3).
Additionally, New Anchor issued to the plans $9,000 face amount (360,000
shares) of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative preferred stock and Vitro
agreed to provide a limited guaranty to the PBGC with respect to the unfunded
benefit liabilities of the Company's defined benefit plans. Consequently, the
PBGC agreed not to terminate the plans as a result of the Agreement and the
assumption of the plans by New Anchor.
On October 4, 1996, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Ball-Foster Glass Container Co. L.L.C., ("Ball-Foster"). Pursuant to that
agreement, Ball-Foster was to acquire substantially all of the assets of the
Company for $365 million in cash at closing, subject to adjustment, as set
forth in that agreement. In addition, Ball-Foster was to assume specified
liabilities of the Company. Payment of the purchase price was guaranteed by
Saint-Gobain Corporation, parent company of Ball-Foster.
Also on October 4, 1996, the Company filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court
seeking an order (i) authorizing the sale to Ball-Foster, subject to higher and
better bids, of substantially all of the Company's assets free and clear of
certain liens, claims and encumbrances and (ii) authorizing assumption and
assignment of certain unexpired leases and executory contracts. The Court had
entered several amended scheduling orders which established a timetable for the
sale process. The amended deadline for submissions of higher and better bids
was December 12, 1996. At that time, the Company received a higher and better
offer from CPI and OI. Ball-Foster received a termination fee of $3,000 from
the proceeds of the transaction.

The Company's remaining deficiency in assets after this sale raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
As a result of the continued decline in the Company's results of operations
from the effect of the highly competitive glass container market and the
Company's high debt level, on September 13, 1996 (the "Petition Date"), the
Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On September 30, 1996, Anchor
Recycling Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, also filed a
voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 in the same court. The
Chapter 11 proceedings are being jointly administered, with the Company
managing the business in the ordinary course as a debtor-in-possession under
the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. Vitro and the Company concluded that
the Chapter 11 filing was necessary in order to preserve the value of its
assets and to ensure that the business has sufficient cash resources to
continue operations while it completed the sale of the business discussed in
Note 2.
Under Chapter 11 proceedings, litigation and actions by creditors to collect
certain claims existing at the Petition Date are stayed, without specific
Bankruptcy Court authorization to pay such claims. The Company had received
authorization, pursuant to first day orders, to pay certain claims related to
wages, salaries, vacation, sick pay and other claims. As a
debtor-in-possession, the Company has the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court
approval, and certain other limitations, to assume or reject certain executory
contracts, including unexpired leases. Any claim for damages resulting from the
rejection of an executory contract or an unexpired lease is treated as a
general unsecured claim in the Chapter 11 proceedings.
On September 26, 1996 the United States Trustee appointed a single unsecured
creditors' committee (the "Creditors Committee"). The Creditors' Committee has
the right to review and object to certain business transactions and has
participated in the negotiation of the Company's plan of reorganization. The
Creditors Committee has retained the firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz as
its counsel and Smith Barney Inc. as its financial advisors.
The Company obtained debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from Foothill
Capital Corporation, as agent and Congress Financial Corporation, as co-agent,
(the "Lender Group") which provided for a $130,000 DIP Credit Facility (the
"DIP Facility"), and was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 15, 1996.
The DIP Facility, which expires September 30, 1997, provides up to $130,000
under a borrowing base formula, less prepetition advances under the Company's
then existing New Senior Credit Facility (the "Prepetition Credit Facility")
with the Lender Group, on terms substantially the same as the Prepetition
Credit Facility. On February 5, 1997, the DIP Facility was repaid in full with
proceeds from the sale as discussed in Note 2.
H-13
<PAGE> 72
The DIP Facility and prepetition secured claims are collateralized by
substantially all of the assets of the Company including accounts receivable,
inventories and property, plant and equipment. The Company has continued to
accrue interest on its prepetition secured debt obligations. Because of the
Chapter 11 filing, there has been no accrual of interest on prepetition
unsecured debt subsequent to the Petition Date.
Of the cash proceeds received from the sale of substantially all the assets and
business of the Company (see Note 2), approximately $109,000 was used to repay
in full the DIP Facility and approximately $11,000 was applied to the
prepayment of real estate taxes, certain costs related to the Company's
partnership with Coors (see Note 8) and the termination fee payable to
Ball-Foster (see Note 2). The balance of the net proceeds of the sale remaining
after application to the costs of the winddown and to other administrative and
priority claims will be distributed to the creditors of the Company, including
the holders of approximately $158,000 principal amount of the Company's Senior
Secured Notes and holders of other secured and unsecured claims, pursuant to a
Plan of Reorganization which is being developed by the Company in conjunction
with the Creditors Committee.
The Company has separately reported, as reorganization items on the
consolidated statement of operations, professional fees and similar types of
expenditures relating directly to the Chapter 11 filing. The Company's policy
is to expense all such expenditures as incurred. These expenses are primarily
for legal, claims and accounting services.
NOTE 4 - PREPETITION LIABILITIES
Prepetition liabilities subject to compromise include the following:

</TABLE>
Because of the Chapter 11 proceedings, there has been no accrual of interest on
the $100,000 10.25% Senior Notes or the $200,000 9.875% Senior Subordinated
Debentures since September 12, 1996. If accrued, interest expense would have
increased $2,916 and $9,167, respectively, during the 1997 Interim Period and
the year ended December 31, 1996. Additionally, the amounts reflected as
prepetition liabilities do not include amounts related to potential claims,
which are substantially in excess of the recorded liabilities at February 4,
1997.
NOTE 5- LONG-TERM DEBT
At February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996, all debt which, by its terms was
previously classified as long-term at the Petition Date, is classified as
prepetition liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings (See Note 3), the Company is in
default of various covenants relating to its outstanding prepetition debt.
However, under Chapter 11 proceedings, litigation or actions by creditors
related to these defaults are stayed. In addition, the DIP Facility required
that the Company's collateral value and availability, as defined, could not be
less than a specified amount and the outstanding credit facility balance could
not be more than a specified amount as measured on a rolling four-week period
throughout the term of the DIP Facility. Prior to the repayment of the DIP
Facility, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants.
H-14
<PAGE> 73
Effective January 12, 1996, the Company and the holders of the Senior Secured
Notes entered into a Noteholder Restructuring Agreement which provides for,
among other things, consent by the holders to the replacement of the then
current Credit Agreement with a new $130,000 credit facility (subsequently
replaced by the DIP Facility) and waiver by the holders to identified defaults
or events of default existing on the effective date or which may occur during
the waiver period which expired not later than January 31, 1998. The
restructuring period was defined as the period between the effective date and
the termination date, which would have occurred no later than June 30, 1998
(the "Restructuring Period"). The following events occurred in connection with
the effectiveness of the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement:
- execution of the $130,000 Prepetition Credit Facility
- mandatory prepayment on January 12, 1996 of the aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes as follows:
- Series A $12,160; Series B $64,640 and Series C $3,200;
- payment of a restructuring fee of 1.75% of the principal
amount of the consenting noteholders' Senior Secured Notes
outstanding prior to giving effect to the prepayments above,
approximately $4,100, and
- $40,000 capital contribution from Vitro and a commitment from
Vitro to contribute an additional $25,000 on or before
January 31, 1997. Capital contributions in 1996 amounted to
$92,484.
Compliance with the financial maintenance tests as defined in the amendments to
the Note Purchase Agreement, including fixed charge coverage, net worth,
current ratio and debt to equity were waived through the period ending January
31, 1998. However, the Company was required to maintain capital expenditures
and net worth in amounts not less than those defined in the Noteholder
Restructuring Agreement.
During the Restructuring Period, the Series A Notes and Series C Notes bore a
floating rate of interest at the one-month LIBOR rate, as defined, plus 2.0%.
The interest rate was adjusted monthly. Interest on the Series B Notes is fixed
at 9.91% per annum. Interest during the Restructuring Period is payable on the
15th of each month.
Effective January 12, 1996, and concurrent with the Noteholder Restructuring
Agreement, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Foothill Capital
Corporation, as agent and Congress Financial Corporation, as co-agent, to
provide for the $130,000 Prepetition Credit Facility. $80,000 of proceeds from
the Prepetition Credit Facility were used to prepay at closing a significant
portion of certain payments of the Senior Secured Notes originally scheduled to
be made in July 1996 and July 1997 and the remaining $50,000 was used to
finance working capital and other general corporate purposes. Advances
outstanding at any one time are not to exceed an amount equal to the Borrowing
Base as defined in the Prepetition Credit Facility. Interest, at prime plus
1.125%, as defined, is payable monthly. A commitment fee of .5% of the unused
portion of the Prepetition Credit Facility is payable monthly. The Prepetition
Credit Facility (which was subsequently replaced with the DIP Facility) was
repaid February 5, 1997 with proceeds from the sale discussed in Note 2.
Through February 5, 1997 the Company had borrowings outstanding under the DIP
Facility. At February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996, advances outstanding under
the DIP Facility were $107,939 and $90,455, respectively. At December 31, 1996,
the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 9.375%.
In March 1994, Vitro provided a one year, $20,000 letter of credit facility on
behalf of the Company, thereby effectively increasing the Company's letter of
credit availability by $20,000. Outstanding letters of credit under this
facility at December 31, 1996 were $15,000. In February 1997, the Company
received an additional capital contribution of $8,400 in satisfaction of
obligations outstanding under the letter of credit facility, which was
terminated at that time.
H-15
<PAGE> 74
The Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by the property, plant and
equipment of the Company with a secondary interest in inventories and accounts
receivable. The DIP Facility is collateralized by inventories and accounts
receivable with a secondary interest in the property, plant and equipment of
the Company. Both the Note Purchase Agreement and the DIP Facility provide for
various covenants that restrict the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, sell or transfer assets, make investments, enter into
transactions with or make distributions to affiliates and pay dividends or make
other distributions in respect of its capital stock, as well as require it to
meet various financial maintenance tests. Effective with the Noteholder
Restructuring Agreement, the holders of the Senior Secured Notes waived
compliance with the financial maintenance covenants through January 31, 1998.
However, the Company must maintain capital expenditures and net worth in
amounts not less than those defined in the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement.
Effective June 18, 1992, the Company issued $100,000 aggregate principal amount
of 10.25% Senior Notes due June 30, 2002 (the "Exchange Notes"). The Company
then completed an exchange offer with the exchange of all Exchange Notes for a
like principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2002, Series A (the "Senior
Notes"), issued under an Indenture dated as of October 15, 1992 between the
Company and Continental Bank, National Association, as Trustee. The Senior
Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company ranking senior in right of
payment to the Debentures (described below) and equal with all other existing
and future senior indebtedness of the Company. Interest is payable
semi-annually in arrears on each June 30 and December 31. Interest has not been
paid or accrued following the Petition Date.
Effective December 2, 1993, the Company completed a public offering of $200,000
aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Senior Subordinated Debentures due
December 15, 2008 (the "Debentures") under an Indenture dated December 1, 1993
between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee. The Debentures are unsecured
obligations, subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future senior
debt, as defined, of the Company. Interest on the Debentures is payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. Interest has not been paid or accrued
following the Petition Date.
All of the Company's debt agreements contain cross-default provisions.
NOTE 6 - RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In January 1996, formal plans were approved to further restructure certain of
the Company's operations to respond to the continued decline in the industry
sales volume combined with the loss of a significant portion of the business of
the Company's largest customer. The Company closed its Cliffwood, New Jersey
plant effective January 1996, and substantially all hourly and salaried
employees of that plant, approximately 350, were terminated. A restructuring
charge of approximately $50,000 was recorded in the 1996. Of this amount,
approximately $24,900 related to the writedown to net realizable value of
certain manufacturing assets.
During 1994, formal plans were approved to significantly reduce the Company's
cost structure and to improve productivity. This restructuring program relates
primarily to consolidation of underutilized manufacturing operations and
provided for the closure of three of the Company's 17 manufacturing plants then
operating. The Company closed its Waukegan, Illinois and Los Angeles,
California plants in the second quarter of 1995 and its Keyser, West Virginia
plant in the third quarter of 1995. In the 1994 fourth quarter, the Company
recorded a restructuring charge of $79,599 and in the 1995 first quarter, an
additional $10,300 charge was recorded to reflect the benefit arrangements for
employees affected by this plan. In total, substantially all hourly and
salaried employees of these plants, approximately 725, were terminated. Of the
total $89,800 charge, approximately $50,600 related to the writedown to net
realizable value of certain manufacturing assets.
The Keyser and Cliffwood plants have been recorded at net realizable value and
are held for sale. The Waukegan plant was sold in 1996 and the Los Angeles
plant will be retained by the Company as part of the acquisition discussed in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
As a condition of closing to the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement, as
discussed in Note 5, in January 1996, the Company received a $40,000 cash
capital contribution from Vitro and received a commitment from Vitro to
contribute an additional $25,000 on or before January 31, 1997. During 1996,
Vitro provided capital contributions of $92,484.
NOTE 8 - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In March 1995, the Company and Coors entered into a long-term partnership (the
"Partnership") to produce glass bottles at the Coors glass manufacturing
facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The Partnership will employ the Company's
technology, along with capital contributions from both companies, to increase
the efficiency, capacity and volume of the Coors facility. Coors has
contributed, as its capital contribution, the facility's machinery, equipment
and certain personal property. The Company's required capital contribution was
approximately $54,000 in cash for capital spending needs over the first three
years of the partnership, of which approximately $36,015 has been contributed
through capital expenditures through December 31, 1996. The Company's
investment in the joint venture is accounted for on the equity method. Capital
contributions are recorded as the investment is funded. The Partnership has an
initial term of ten years, which can be extended for additional terms of two
years each, and the partners will share the cost benefit of achieved
operational efficiencies. In addition, Coors has entered into a separate
long-term preferred supplier agreement with the Company. The preferred supplier
agreement has an initial term of ten years, which can be extended for
additional terms of two years each. This agreement will allow the Company to
supply 100% of Coors' glass container requirements (exceeding the Partnership's
production) beginning January 1, 1996.
As discussed in Note 2, effective February 5, 1997, OI purchased the Company's
investment in the joint venture (including the assumption of related
obligations) and the preferred supplier agreement.
NOTE 9 - SALE AND LEASEBACK
In July and August 1995, the Company entered into sale and leaseback
transactions of certain manufacturing equipment located at four of the
Company's manufacturing facilities. Under the sale agreements, the Company sold
the equipment at an aggregate net selling price of approximately $48,300. In
addition, the Company entered into agreements to lease back the equipment for a
nine-year term at an average annual rental of approximately $7,600. The
deferred gain of approximately $14,200, representing the excess of the selling
price over the net book value of the equipment, is being amortized at
approximately $1,600 annually over the nine year operating lease term.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY INFORMATION
Container
There have been no material transactions between the Company and Container or
its subsidiaries in the 1997 Interim Period and in the year ended 1996. During
1996, the Company sold a previously closed manufacturing facility to Container
for proceeds of approximately $750 of cash and a note receivable of $2,800.

Sale of Accounts Receivable
In December 1995, approximately $30,700 of eligible trade receivables was sold
to Factoraje Serfin, S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo
Financiero Serfin, S.A. de C.V., an associated company in which Vitro owns a
minority interest. This transaction resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
$30,000. These receivables were sold without recourse and the proceeds were
used to fund working capital needs.
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The consolidated group of companies, of which the Company is a member, applies
SFAS 109 under which the liability method is used in accounting for income
taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and
are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse. Under SFAS 109, if on the basis of
available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized, the asset must be reduced by a
valuation allowance.
The Company had previously recognized approximately $1,825 as a deferred tax
asset, net of the valuation allowance. As a result of continuing losses,
management has determined it was no longer more likely than not that the value
of the remaining deferred tax asset would be realized. As a result, the Company
recorded an additional valuation allowance of $1,825, which is reflected as a
provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1996.

The significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as

At February 4, 1997, the Company had unused net operating losses and investment
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $340,000 and $5,200, respectively,
expiring at various dates through 2011. Of these amounts, $275,000 and $0,
respectively, are not restricted as to use and expire at various dates through
2011. The balance of the carryforwards amounting to $65,000 and $5,200,
respectively, expire at various dates through 2004, and are restricted to
offsetting future taxable income of the respective companies which generated
the carryforwards.
NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS
The Company has defined benefit retirement plans for salaried and hourly-paid
employees. Benefits are calculated on a salary-based formula for salaried plans
and on a service-based formula for hourly plans. Effective December 31, 1994,
the Company changed its defined benefit plans for salaried employees resulting
in the freezing of benefits, as discussed below. Pension costs incurred in the
1997 Interim Period were $848. Pension costs for the year ended December 31,
1996 are summarized below.

</TABLE>
The Company has substantial unfunded obligations related to its employee
pension plans. The Retirement Protection Act of 1994 requires the Company to
make significant additional funding contributions into its underfunded defined
benefit retirement plans and will increase the premiums paid to the PBGC.
Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Company did not make scheduled
contribution payments to its employee pension plans. Scheduled plan
contribution payments not made in the year ended December 31, 1996, amounted to
$16,330. Of the scheduled January 15, 1997 contribution, $3,599 was not paid.
As an objection to the sale, the PBGC entered a determination to terminate the
Company's qualified defined benefit pension plans. However, in conjunction with
the sale, New Anchor assumed all liabilities of the plans
H-19
<PAGE> 78
and funded approximately $9,100 of plan contributions, previously unfunded
following the Company's filing of Chapter 11 (see Note 3). Additionally, New
Anchor issued $9,000 face amount of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative
convertible preferred stock and Vitro has guaranteed to fund qualified defined
benefit plan obligations up to $70,000, should New Anchor default on its
obligations. Consequently, the PBGC agreed not to terminate the plans as a
result of the Agreement and the assumption of the plans by New Anchor.
Effective December 31, 1994, the Company changed its salaried retirement and
savings programs, resulting in the freezing of benefits under its three defined
benefit pension plans for salaried employees and amending its defined
contribution savings plan for salaried employees. The freezing of benefits
under the defined benefit pension plans for salaried employees resulted in a
curtailment gain of $3,588. Effective December 31, 1996, the Company merged the
Latchford Glass Company Salaried Employees' Pension Plan into the Anchor Glass
Container Corporation Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees. Also effective
December 31, 1994, the Company merged the Diamond Bathurst Salaried Employees
Retirement Plan into the Anchor Glass Container Corporation Retirement Plan for
Salaried Employees. Under the amended savings plan, the Company will match,
beginning in 1995, employees' basic contributions to the plan in an amount
equal to 150% of the first 4% of an employee's compensation.
The funded status of the Company's pension plans at December 31, 1996, the
latest valuation date, follows:

</TABLE>
The Company recognized an additional minimum liability that is equal to the
difference between the accumulated benefit obligation over plan assets in
excess of accrued (prepaid) pension cost. A corresponding amount is recognized
as either an intangible asset or a reduction of equity. Pursuant to this
requirement, the Company recorded, as of February 4, 1997 and December 31,
1996, an additional liability of $39,534, an intangible pension asset of
$17,140, and an equity reduction of $22,394. Plan assets are held by
independent trustees and consist principally of investments in equities, fixed
income and government securities.
The Company also sponsors two defined contribution plans covering substantially
all salaried and hourly employees. Expenses under these programs for the 1997
Interim Period and the year ended December 31, 1996 were approximately $237 and
$2,817, respectively.
H-20
<PAGE> 79
NOTE 13 - POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company provides benefits to substantially all salaried, and certain hourly
employees under several plans. SFAS 106 requires accrual of post-retirement
benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the years an employee provides
services. Currently, the Company funds these healthcare benefits on a
pay-as-you-go basis. The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust,
and under the requirements of SFAS 106, recognizes as post-retirement benefit
cost the required annual contribution.
SFAS 106 allows recognition of the cumulative effect of this liability in the
year of adoption or the amortization of the net initial transition obligation
over a period of up to twenty years. The Company elected to recognize the net
initial transition obligation of approximately $3,400 on a straight-line basis
over a period of twenty years. The Company's cash flows are not affected by
implementation of SFAS 106.
The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1996, the
latest valuation date, is as follows:

The assumed healthcare cost trend used in measuring the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1996 was 9.0% declining
gradually to 5.5% by the year 2003, after which it remains constant. A one
percentage point increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate for each
year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 1996 by approximately 12% and the net post-retirement healthcare
cost for the year ended December 31, 1996 by approximately 13%. The assumed
discount rate used in determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit
obligation was 7.25% for 1996.
The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust which provides certain
other post-retirement benefits to retired hourly employees. Expenses under this
program for the 1997 Interim Period and the year ended December 31, 1996, were
$360 and $4,990, respectively.
NOTE 14 - LEASES
The Company leases distribution and office facilities, machinery,
transportation, data processing and office equipment under non-cancelable
leases which expire at various dates through 2004. These leases generally
provide for fixed rental payments and include renewal and purchase options at
amounts which are generally based on fair market value at expiration of the
lease. The Company has no material capital leases.
H-21
<PAGE> 80
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases are as
follows:

=======
</TABLE>
Rental expense for all operating leases for the 1997 Interim Period and the
year ended December 31, 1996 was $3,012 and $19,770, respectively.
NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a respondent in various environment-related cases. The
measurement of liabilities in these cases and other environmental concerns is
based on available facts of each situation and considers factors such as prior
experience in remediation efforts and presently enacted environmental laws and
regulations. In the opinion of management, based upon information presently
known, the Company has adequately provided for environmental liabilities. The
Company is not otherwise party to, and none of its assets are subject to any
other pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to its business and against which the Company is adequately insured
and indemnified or which is not material. The Company believes that the
ultimate outcome of these cases will not materially affect future operations.
NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective January 30, 1998, all of the remaining assets of the Company were
transferred to Anchor Liquidating Trust.

1996, the loss of a significant portion of the business of Old
Anchor's largest customer. The following represents information

Writedown of certain manufacturing assets to net

Writedown of previously shutdown manufacturing
facilities to net realizable value 14,000 --
</TABLE>
During the year ended December 31, 1996, Old Anchor recorded an
adjustment to the carrying value of certain idled facilities held for
sale. These assets were previously written down to an estimated net
realizable value. Upon a current evaluation of quotes and offers on
these properties in 1996, Old Anchor increased their net carrying
value by approximately $9.0 million. The balance of the restructuring
liability is anticipated to be expended and charged against the
liability over the next three years.
(2) Impairment of long-lived assets reflects the adjustment for the
write-off of goodwill and other long-lived assets. As a result of the
declining profitability, diminishing cash flow and the bankruptcy
proceedings, the recoverable value of the carrying amount of
long-lived assets and intangibles was reviewed for impairment. Based
upon this review, the amount of remaining excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of net assets acquired at December 31, 1996, of
$457.2 million and other long-lived assets of $33.0 million were
written off in the year ended December 31, 1996. The excess cost over
fair value of net assets acquired had been amortized on a
straight-line basis over a 40 year period. Amortization expense,
included as a component of cost of products sold, was approximately
$13.9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994. See Old Anchor's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) Because of Chapter 11 proceedings, there has been no accrual of
interest on the $100.0 million 10.25% Senior Notes or the $200.0
million 9.875% Senior Subordinated Debentures since September 12,
1996. If accrued, interest expense would have increased $2.9 million
and $9.2 million, respectively during the 1997 Interim Period and the
year ended December 31, 1996.
(4) Income tax provision reflects any additional valuation allowances
required to be recorded under SFAS 109. The adoption of SFAS 109
effective January 1, 1993 resulted in an increase in the cumulative
net deferred tax asset by $1.8 million. Under SFAS 109, deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and
are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse. If on the basis
of available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, the asset must
be reduced by a valuation allowance.
(5) Extraordinary item in the year ended December 31, 1996, results from
the write-off of financing costs related to debt extinguished during
the relevant periods, net of taxes.
(6) Total debt as of December 31, 1996 includes $462.3 million of
prepetition liabilities and $90.5 million outstanding under Old
Anchor's debtor-in-possession credit facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following table sets forth certain information derived from the
Consolidated Financial Statements of Anchor Resolution Corp., formerly Anchor
Glass Container Corporation and currently a debtor-in-possession under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code ("Old Anchor"), for the two years ended December 31,

Net loss (66.0) (6.9) (655.8) (80.5)
</TABLE>
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $655.8 million
compared to a net loss of $66.0 million for 1995. Included in the loss for 1996
is the impairment of long-lived assets of $490.2 million. Included in the 1996
and 1995 results were first quarter charges of $50.0 million and $10.3 million,
respectively, for Old Anchor's s 1996 and 1995 restructuring programs.
Excluding the effect of these items, net loss would have been $115.6 million
compared to $55.7 million for 1995.
The decline in Old Anchor's operations is a direct result of Old
Anchor's high debt levels and industry-wide volume declines that have led to
severe competitive pricing pressures, negatively impacting operating results.
Net sales for 1996 decreased 14.9% compared to 1995, on a volume decline of
approximately 14%, primarily in the beer, iced tea and soft drink markets. As
an example, Old Anchor's 1996 volume allocation from its largest customer in
1995, Anheuser-Busch, has been significantly reduced. The softness in overall
industry volume shipments has led to severe competitive pricing pressures,
negatively impacting operating margins. In accordance with its restructuring
plans, Old Anchor closed its Cliffwood, New Jersey plant in January 1996, and
closed its Waukegan, Illinois, Los Angeles, California and Keyser, West
Virginia plants in 1995.
NET SALES
Net sales for 1996 were $814.4 million, a decrease of 14.9% compared
to $956.6 million for 1995. The decrease in net sales principally reflects the
softening in 1996 of the year-to-year demand for glass containers which has
resulted in increased competition for market share and lower pricing trends. In
addition, as described above, Anheuser-Busch has significantly reduced its
purchases from Old Anchor.
H-25
<PAGE> 84
COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD
Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales were 102.1% for
1996 compared to 94.8% for 1995. This increase principally reflects the impact
of reduced shipping volumes and lower pricing trends, as described above.
Partially offsetting this increase is the impact of Old Anchor's strategic
initiatives and cost savings derived from Old Anchor's restructuring plans and
re-engineering program.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling and administrative expenses declined $9.4 million, or 19.2% in
1996 compared to 1995. This decrease principally reflects lower personnel and
fringe benefit costs as a result of headcount reductions associated with Old
Anchor's re-engineering and cost reduction programs.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In the 1995 first quarter, an additional $10.3 million charge was
recorded to reflect the benefit arrangements for employees affected by this
plan. In January 1996, formal plans were approved to further restructure
certain of Old Anchor's operations to respond to the continued decline in the
industry sales volume combined with the loss of a significant portion of the
business of Old Anchor's largest 1995 customer. A restructuring charge of
approximately $50.0 million has been recorded in the 1996 Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the closure of the Cliffwood, New Jersey plant and
other restructuring obligations.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
As a result of declining profitability, diminishing cash flows and the
bankruptcy proceedings, the entire $457.2 million of goodwill and $33.0 million
of other long-lived assets were written off.
WRITE-UP OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In December 1996, Old Anchor wrote up the value of certain assets held
for sale by $9.0 million.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $48.6 million for 1996 compared to $56.8 million
for 1995. Because of the Bankruptcy Proceedings, there has been no accrual of
interest on the $100.0 million 10.25% Senior Notes or the $200.0 million 9.857%
Senior Subordinated Debentures since September 12, 1996. If accrued, interest
expense would have increased by $9.1 million in 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a result of the continued decline in Old Anchor's results of
operations from the effect of the highly competitive glass container market,
and Old Anchor's high debt level, on September 13, 1996 (the "Petition Date"),
Old Anchor filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On
September 30, 1996, Anchor Recycling Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Old Anchor, also filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 in
the same court. The Chapter 11 proceedings are being jointly administered, with
Old Anchor managing the business in the ordinary course as a
debtor-in-possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. Old Anchor
concluded that the Chapter 11 filing was necessary in order to preserve the
value of its assets and to ensure that the business had sufficient cash
resources to continue operations while it completed the sale of the business
discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
appearing elsewhere herein.
Old Anchor obtained debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from
Foothill Capital Corporation, as agent and Congress Financial Corporation, as
co-agent (the "Lender Group") to provide for a $130.0
H-26
<PAGE> 85
million DIP Credit Facility (the "DIP Facility"), which was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court on November 15, 1996. The DIP Facility, which would expire
September 30, 1997, provided up to 130.0 million under a borrowing base
formula, less prepetition advances under Old Anchor's then existing Prepetition
Credit Facility with the Lender Group, on terms substantially the same as the
Prepetition Credit Facility.
Advances outstanding at any one time were not to exceed an amount
equal to the Borrowing Base, consisting of accounts receivable and finished
product inventory, as defined in the Prepetition Credit Facility, and amended
by the DIP Facility. At December 31, 1996, Old Anchor's available borrowing
base, as defined under the DIP Facility was approximately $113.7 million
against which $90.5 was outstanding. Interest, at prime plus 1.125%, as
defined, was payable monthly. A commitment fee of 0.5% of the unused portion of
the DIP Facility was payable monthly.
On February 5, 1997, Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("New
Anchor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consumers Packaging, Inc. ("CPI"), and
Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. ("OI") acquired substantially all of the
assets and business of Old Anchor in accordance with the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated December 18, 1996 (the "Agreement") as discussed in
Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The total purchase
price approximated $387.0 million, excluding fees of approximately $9.9
million. The purchase price received from OI amounted to approximately $128.4
million and was received in cash. The remaining purchase price of approximately
$250.0 million from New Anchor was comprised of approximately $200.5 million in
cash, $47.0 million face amount (1,879,320 shares) of mandatorily redeemable
10% cumulative convertible preferred stock and $2.5 million of common stock
(490,898 shares with an estimated value of $5.00 per share) of New Anchor. The
purchase price is subject to adjustment as defined in the Agreement.
Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding balance of
the DIP Facility and accrued interest thereon, at February 5, 1997, of
approximately $109.0 million. The remainder of the proceeds will be used to
satisfy prepetition liabilities, as to be determined under Old Anchor's Plan of
Reorganization. Old Anchor's principal sources of liquidity through February 5,
1997 were funds derived from operations and borrowings under the DIP Facility.
In 1996, operating activities consumed $28.4 million in cash compared
to $0.4 million of cash provided in 1995. These increases in cash consumed
reflect the increase in losses and the changes in working capital items during
the periods compared.
Capital expenditures in 1996 were $46.3 million compared to $70.4
million in 1995. In addition, in 1996, Old Anchor invested approximately $18.6
million in the joint venture with Coors Brewing Company ("Coors"). Old Anchor
invested $20.0 million in the joint venture in 1995. Also in 1995, Old Anchor
entered into sale and leaseback transactions, with respect to certain of its
glass manufacturing equipment, with an aggregate net selling price of
approximately $48.3 million.
Cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 were $78.9 million and $52.2 million, respectively. The 1996 cash
flows from financing activities principally reflects a $92.5 million capital
contribution received from Vitro, Sociedad Anonima and borrowings under the
Prepetition Credit Facility, modified by the DIP Facility. In February 1997,
Old Anchor received an additional capital contribution of $8.4 million in
satisfaction of obligations outstanding under the $20.0 million letter of
credit facility, which was terminated at that time.
As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings, Old Anchor is in default of
various covenants relating to Old Anchor's outstanding prepetition debt.
However, under Chapter 11 proceedings, litigation or actions by creditors
related to theses defaults are stayed. In addition, the DIP Facility required
that Old Anchor's collateral value and availability, as defined, could not be
less than a specified amount as measured on a rolling four-week period
throughout the term of the DIP Facility. Prior to the repayment of the DIP
Facility, Old Anchor was in full compliance with these covenants.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
The impact of inflation on the costs of Old Anchor, and the ability to
pass on cost increases in the form of increased sales prices, is dependent upon
market conditions. While the general level of inflation in the domestic economy
has been at relatively low levels since Old Anchor's formation in 1983, Old
Anchor has generally been unable, since the end of 1991, to fully pass on
inflationary cost increases as a result of competitive pricing pressures. This
has negatively impacted Old Anchor's operating results.
SEASONALITY
Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and
soft drink industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months,
Old Anchor's shipment volume is typically highest in the second and third
quarters. Consequently, Old Anchor historically builds inventory during the
first quarter in anticipation of seasonal demands during the second and third
quarters. However, industry patterns existing over the last 18 months have
somewhat altered the normal seasonal trends. In addition, Old Anchor generally
schedules shutdowns of its plants for furnace rebuilds and machine repairs in
the first and fourth quarters of the year to coincide with scheduled holiday
and vacation time under its labor union contracts. These shutdowns and seasonal
sales patterns adversely affect profitability during the first and fourth
quarters.
