Report of Independent Accountants
June 22, 1994
To the Benefit Plans Committee and Participants
of the Van Dorn Company 401(k) Plan and Trust
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Van Dorn Company 401(k) Plan and Trust (the "Plan") at December 31, 1993
and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above. The financial statements of the Plan for the year ended
December 31, 1992 were audited by other independent accountants whose report
dated June 29, 1993 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in Schedules
I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required
by ERISA. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

Van Dorn Company
401(k) Plan and Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies:
Effective April 16, 1993, the Van Dorn Company (the "Company") was acquired by
Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. ("Crown") at which time Crown became the sponsor
of the Van Dorn Company 401(k) Plan and Trust (the "Plan"). Refer to Note 4 for
further information. The Plan is administered by the Crown Cork & Seal Company,
Inc. Benefit Plans Committee.
The Plan maintains its financial records and prepares its financial statements
using the accrual basis of accounting. Purchases and sales of securities are
recorded on a trade-date basis. T. Rowe Price (the "Trustee") manages a Trust
Fund for the Plan under the terms of a trust agreement. All of the Plan's
investments and cash are held in the Trust Fund. The Trustee has been granted
discretionary authority with regard to the investment of temporary cash balances
and is directed by investment managers or a committee appointed by Crown with
regard to all other investments. The investments and changes therein of the
Trust Fund have been determined through the use of current values measured by
quoted prices in active markets for all assets of the Trust Fund, except for
deposits with insurance companies, which are reported at their contract values.
Note 2 - Description of Plan:
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to provide a convenient method
by which eligible employees may save regularly through salary elections and
through sponsor matching contributions.
The Plan covers all salaried employees of the Company's corporate office,
Plastic Machinery Division ("Plastics"), and Davies Can Company, all employees
of Central States Can Company; and certain hourly employees of Davies Can
Company. On April 20, 1993, Crown sold Plastics to Mannesmann Capital
Corporation ("Mannesmann"). Employees of Plastics participating in the Plan
were given the option of continuing to participate in the Plan or rolling over
their account balances into a Mannesmann sponsored plan or into their individual
retirement accounts. Refer to Note 4 for further information. Employees are
eligible to participate in the Plan after completing one year of service and
attaining the age of 21. The Plan is subject to provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Employee Contributions
Employees who participate in the Plan can direct the Company to withhold wages
and make tax deferred contributions on their behalf. Contributions may range
from 1 percent to 16 percent of annual compensation, plus bonuses, up to a
maximum of $8,994 per participant.
A participant's 401(k) account balance attributable to tax deferred
contributions, taxable employee contributions, and rollover contributions is 100
percent vested at all times. A participant's 401(k) account balance
attributable to profit sharing contributions with respect to plan years prior
to January 1, 1989 becomes fully vested upon a participant reaching five years
of service.
Page 4
</page>
<PAGE>10
Employer Contributions
Effective July 1, 1990, the Company amended its 401(k) Plan and Trust to permit
employer contributions to the Plan. The amendment provides for the Company to
match 50 percent of employee contributions up to a maximum employee
contribution of 4 percent of compensation. Employer contributions vest 100
percent after five years of service.
Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are offset against
employer contributions.
Investments
Participants may direct their contributions among any of the following
investments:
1. Common Stock Fund - Investing in common stock of Crown Cork & Seal.
2. Prime Reserve Fund - A money market fund investing in a diversified
portfolio of domestic and foreign U.S. dollar-denominated money market
securities to maintain a stable share price of $1.00.
3. Capital Appreciation Fund - Investing in common stocks, fixed income
securities and money market instruments.
4. Spectrum Income Fund - Investing primarily in a diversified group of
T. Rowe Price mutual funds which invest principally in fixed income
securities.
5. Spectrum Growth Fund - Investing in a diversified group of T. Rowe Price
mutual funds which invest principally in equity securities.
Distributions
Effective January 1, 1987, benefit payments from the Plan were limited to
lump sum distributions. Prior to this date, former participants could elect to
have their benefits paid to them under a variety of options over an extended
period of time.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Crown has the right under
the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event
of plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
accounts.
Note 3 - Tax Status of the Plan:
The trust established under the Plan is qualified under the Internal Revenue
Code as exempt from federal income taxes. Although the Plan has received a
favorable determination letter from the IRS, it has not yet been updated for
plan amendments necessary to meet certain requirements of the Tax Reform Act of
1986. However, the plan sponsor is of the opinion that the Plan meets the IRS
requirements and therefore the trust continues to be tax exempt.

Note 4 - Acquisition of Plan Sponsor:
On April 16, 1993, the Company was acquired by Crown at which time each share
of the Company's stock held by the Plan was converted into .542 shares of Crown
stock. The market value of each share of Crown stock on April 16, 1993 was
$38.75. Company stock at a historical cost of approximately $4.4 million was
converted to Crown stock; representing a market value of approximately $6.7
million at that date.
On April 20, 1993, Crown sold the Plastics Division to Mannesmann. Employees
of Plastics participating in the Plan transferred or rolled-over approximately
$12.2 million to either a Mannesmann sponsored plan or to their individual
retirement accounts during the year.
Note 5 - Loans to Participants:
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, receivables from employees consisted of loans to
participants in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan agreement.
Interest rates on these loans for the year ended December 31, 1993 were 12.95%.
