REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Pactiv Corporation Benefits Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Pactiv Corporation Thrift Plan (formerly, the Tenneco Thrift
Plan) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999.
These financial statements and the supplemental schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of the Pactiv Corporation Benefits Committee. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
supplemental schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Pactiv
Corporation Thrift Plan (formerly, the Tenneco Thrift Plan) as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999, included as Schedule I, and
reportable transactions - series of transactions for the year ended December 31,
1999, included as Schedule II, are presented for purposes of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         PACTIV CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998


1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PACTIV
     CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN:

The following description of the Pactiv Corporation Thrift Plan (the Thrift
Plan) (formerly, the Tenneco Thrift Plan) provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Thrift Plan document for a more complete
description of the Thrift Plan's provisions.

Reorganization of Sponsor

During 1998, the board of directors of Tenneco Inc. authorized management to
develop a broad range of strategic alternatives to separate the automotive,
paperboard packaging and specialty packaging businesses. Subsequently, Tenneco
Inc. completed the following actions:

a.   In January 1999, Tenneco Inc. announced an agreement to contribute the
     containerboard business to a new joint venture with an affiliate of Madison
     Dearborn Partners. The transaction closed in April 1999. Tenneco Inc.
     retained a 43 percent interest in the joint venture, Packaging Corporation
     of America (PCA).

b.   In April 1999, Tenneco Inc. announced an agreement to sell the folding
     carton operations to Caraustar Industries (the Caraustar Sale). This
     transaction closed in June 1999. The folding carton operations and the
     containerboard business together represented the paperboard packaging
     business.

c.   On November 4, 1999, Tenneco Inc. completed the spin-off of the common
     stock of Tenneco Packaging Inc., now known as Pactiv Corporation, to
     Tenneco Inc. shareholders (the Spin-Off). As a result of the Spin-Off,
     Tenneco Inc. shareholders received one share of Pactiv Corporation common
     stock for each share of Tenneco Inc. common stock held as of the close of
     business on October 29, 1999. Pactiv Corporation included all of the
     businesses that made up the specialty packaging segment as well as the
     remaining interest in PCA and the administrative services operation.

d.   Immediately following the Spin-Off, Tenneco Inc. was renamed Tenneco
     Automotive Inc. On November 5, 1999, Tenneco Automotive Inc. completed a
     reverse stock split. Every five shares of Tenneco Inc. common stock were
     converted into one share of Tenneco Automotive Inc. common stock.

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, Pactiv Corporation assumed sponsorship of the
Tenneco Thrift Plan from Tenneco Inc., and the Tenneco Thrift Plan was renamed
the Pactiv Corporation Thrift Plan. For purposes of these financial statements,
"Employers" refers to Tenneco Inc. and its subsidiaries that had adopted the
Thrift Plan prior to the Spin-Off and to Pactiv Corporation, Tenneco Automotive
Inc., PCA and their subsidiaries that continued to participate in the Thrift
Plan for a limited period subsequent to the Spin-Off.

General

The Thrift Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

Eligibility and Contributions

Employees are eligible to participate in the Thrift Plan the first day of the
month following the completion of one year of service.

Eligible employees electing to participate in the Thrift Plan may make
contributions by payroll deduction of not less than 4 percent nor greater than 8
percent of their base salary, with such contributions limited to $10,000 for
1999. The Employers contribute on behalf of the participant an amount up to the


<PAGE>   6


                                      -2-


participant's contribution according to the following percentages of the
participant's base salary, based on the number of years of participation in the
Thrift Plan: 4 percent--through three years; 5 percent--over three through five
years; 6 percent--over five through seven years; and 8 percent--over seven
years. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, employees of Tenneco Automotive Inc. receive
a matching contribution of 100 percent up to 8 percent of the employee's
compensation.

Employers' contributions are invested in the applicable Employers' common stock,
except for PCA employees whose Employer contributions are invested at the
direction of the employee into the available investment options other than the
Employers' common stock. The Employers' matching contributions and the related
earnings made after January 1, 1993, must remain in the form of the applicable
Employers' common stock until the participant reaches age 55 or terminates
employment and requests a total distribution.

Investment Options

Each participant has the right upon enrollment to select the funds in which the
balance in the participant's account, excluding certain Employer contributions,
will be invested. During 1999, participants can invest in two common collective
trusts, four registered investment companies and a money market fund. Prior to
the Spin-Off, participants could also invest in Tenneco Inc. common stock.
Subsequent to the Spin-Off, employees transferring to Pactiv Corporation can
invest in Pactiv Corporation common stock and employees remaining with Tenneco
Automotive Inc. can invest in Tenneco Automotive Inc. common stock. Employees of
PCA subsequent to the formation of the joint venture may no longer invest new
monies in the Employers' common stock. Monies pending purchase in each of the
investment options is temporarily invested in the Banker's Trust Pyramid
Directed Account Cash Fund.

Shares of Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. common stock, received through a 1996
distribution to Tenneco Inc. shareholders, and El Paso Energy (formerly, El Paso
Natural Gas Company) common stock, received through a 1996 merger transaction
through an affiliate of Tenneco Inc., are held in separate funds; however,
participants cannot direct contributions or fund transfers to these funds.
Dividends earned by these funds are invested in Nations Cash Reserves.

Vesting

All participants are 100 percent vested in their entire account balance in the
Thrift Plan.

Withdrawals and Participant Loans

Upon retirement or other termination of employment, the participant may receive
the value of his account as a lump-sum distribution. A participant who has
attained age 55 may request an in-service withdrawal. If a participant has not
attained age 59-1/2, he may elect to withdraw all or part of his account
balance, reduced by the portion of his account balance attributable to employee
contributions. A participant who has not attained age 55 may request an
in-service withdrawal of his employee contributions made prior to April 1, 1984,
and any Employers' matching contributions credited to his account prior to
January 1, 1993. Plan equity as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, includes amounts
pending distribution to participants of $705,875 and $1,043,600, respectively
(see Note 5).

Active participants and certain other individuals who have not had a loan during
the previous three months may obtain a loan with a term not to exceed 54 months
from his account. The borrower may have only one loan outstanding at any time,
and the amount of the loan may not be less than $1,000 and shall not exceed the
lesser of (a) $50,000 or (b) one-half the borrower's account balance. The loan
interest rate is equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Loan principal and
interest repayments are made through payroll deductions.

Administration

The Thrift Plan is currently administered by the Pactiv Corporation Benefits
Committee (the Committee), formerly known as the Tenneco Benefits Committee.
Bankers Trust Company serves as trustee of the Thrift Plan Trust (the Trust).

2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Thrift Plan are presented on the accrual basis
of accounting. The investments of the Thrift Plan are generally reported at
quoted market value. Collective trust funds and pooled separate accounts are
valued by reference to published market data, as available, of the underlying
assets. Guaranteed investment contracts were carried at contract value which
approximated fair value. Participant loans receivable are reported at cost which
approximates fair value.

Earnings

Individual participants' accounts are credited daily with investment earnings
and losses. Investment earnings and losses are credited based upon the number of
units held in an individual participant's account and the fair value per unit
based upon the net asset value or share price of the underlying securities at
the close of business each day.

Expenses

Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Thrift Plan. These
expenses include record-keeping, audit and trustee fees.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to use
estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of Statement of Position 99-3

The Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued AICPA Statement of Position
(SOP) 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan
Investments and Other Disclosure Matters," which eliminates the requirement for
a defined contribution plan to disclose participant-directed investment
programs. During 1999, the Thrift Plan adopted SOP 99-3 and, as such, the 1998
financial statements have been reclassified to eliminate the
participant-directed fund investment program disclosures.

3.   NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS:

Information about the net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed
investments is as follows as of December 31, 1999 and 1998:

</TABLE>

4.   RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:

The Thrift Plan provides for investment in corporate securities, collective
trust funds, registered investment companies and money market funds. Investment
securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in
the values of investment securities will occur in the near term.

     STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500:

</TABLE>

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for
benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to
December 31 but not paid as of that date.

6.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Thrift Plan obtained its latest determination letter on August 19, 1996, in
which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Thrift Plan, as then
designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the IRC). The Thrift Plan has been amended
since receiving the determination letter. However, the Committee believes that
the Thrift Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, the Committee believes that the
Thrift Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the
financial statement date.

7.   TRANSFERS TO OTHER PLANS:

Effective January 1999, Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. (Newport News) Tenneco
Business Services (TBS) participants were allowed to either transfer their
participant account balances from the Thrift Plan to an existing Newport News
plan or to keep their participant account balances in the Thrift Plan. On
January 20, 1999, the Newport News TBS employees transferred approximately
$2,700,000 to the Newport News plan.

In conjunction with the Caraustar Sale, the folding carton operations
participants were allowed to either transfer their participant account balances
from the Thrift Plan to an existing Caraustar Plan or to keep their participant
account balances in the Thrift Plan. On November 30, 1999, the folding carton
operations participants transferred approximately $3,100,000 to the Caraustar
plan.

8.   TERMINATION OF THE THRIFT PLAN:

Although Pactiv Corporation intends to continue the Thrift Plan indefinitely,
they reserve the right to terminate the Thrift Plan or withdraw from
participation in the Thrift Plan. Any assets which are not allocated to the
accounts of participants upon the complete termination of the Thrift Plan, or
complete discontinuance of contributions, will be allocated among all of the
participants' accounts pro rata on the basis of their respective balances.

9.   PARTY IN INTEREST:

The Thrift Plan invests in shares of the Bankers Trust Pyramid Directed Account
Cash Fund which is managed by Bankers Trust. Bankers Trust is the trustee and,
therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

In February 2000, PCA employees began participating in a newly established PCA
plan and their associated Thrift Plan account balances totaling $10,900,000 were
transferred to the PCA plan. In addition, in February 2000, Tenneco Automotive
Inc. employees began participating in a newly established Tenneco Automotive
Inc. plan and their associated Thrift Plan account balances totaling $16,900,000
were transferred to the Tenneco Automotive Inc. plan.
