Report of Independent Accountants
June 19, 1998
To the Benefit Plans Committee and Participants
of the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc.
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the
"Plan") at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years 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 audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were performed 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. Schedules I and II have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit 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.

401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1 - Description of plan
The following description of the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. 401(k)
Retirement Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
General
The plan is a defined contribution plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a
convenient method by which eligible employees of Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc.
(the Company) may save regularly through salary deferrals and through Company
matching contributions. Generally, employees are eligible to participate in the
Plan after completing one year of service and attaining age 21. The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).
The Plan is administered by the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. Benefit Plans
Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee appointed Vanguard Fiduciary Trust
Company ("VFTC") to assume both trustee and recordkeeping responsibilities.
Contributions
The plan has two components: a participant salary deferral 401 (k) component and
a Company matching contribution component. The salary deferral 401(k) component
of the plan allows before-tax employee contributions of 2% to 12% of annual
compensation. The Plan also allows after-tax employee contributions of 1% to 8%
of annual compensation. Contribution rates are subject to certain limitations,
as prescribed by law. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50
percent of the employee's contribution, up to a maximum of 3 percent of
compensation. Company contributions are made in the form of Company common
stock.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
the participant's allocations of the Company's contributions, as described
above. Plan earnings are allocated to the participant's accounts based on the
participant's account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the Company's contributions plus actual earnings thereon is
based on years of continuous service. A participant is fully vested after four
years of credited service.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their account a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum
equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant's vested
balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment
fund from(to) the Participant loans. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to
10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the
balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate
with a prevailing commercial rate for a secured personal loan. Interest rates
ranged from 7.5 percent to 13.7 percent for loans outstanding as of December 31,
1997. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
A participant may not have more than five outstanding loans at any one time.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant
may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the
participant's vested interest in his or her account, or substantially equal
periodic installments over a period equal to the life expectancy of the
recipient or beneficiary. For termination of service due to other reasons, a
participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account
as a lump-sum distribution. All distributions are paid in either cash or company
stock at the participant's election.
Forfeited Accounts
Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are used to
reduce future Company contributions. At December 31, 1997 forfeited non-vested
accounts totaled $38,416.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and 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.
Investment Options
During the year ended December 31, 1997, participants were able to allocate
their contributions among the following investment options:
Vanguard Balanced Index Fund: Seeks to provide income and long-term growth of
capital and income by dividing its assets between indexed portfolios of stocks
(60 percent) and bonds (40 percent).
Vanguard Bond Index Fund - Total Bond Market Portfolio: Seeks to provide a high
level of interest income by attempting to match the performance of the unmanaged
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely recognized measure of the entire
taxable U.S. bond market.
Vanguard Explorer Fund: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by
investing in a diversified group of small-company stocks with prospects for
above-average growth.
Vanguard Index Trust - 500 Portfolio: Seeks to provide long-term growth of
capital and income from dividends by holding all of the 500 stocks that make up
the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, a widely
recognized benchmark of U.S. stock market performance.

Notes to Financial Statements
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vanguard International Growth Portfolio: Seeks to provide long-term growth of
capital by investing in stocks of high-quality, seasoned companies based outside
the United States. Stocks are selected from more than 15 countries.
Crown Cork & Seal Stock Fund: Invests in Crown Cork & Seal common stock to
provide the possibility of long-term growth through increases in the value of
the stock and the reinvestment of its dividends.
Crown Cork & Seal Fixed Income Fund: Seeks to preserve the value of the original
investment and provide an attractive level of interest by investing primarily in
investment contracts issued by insurance companies and banks and other types of
fixed principal investments. It is designed to maintain a constant $1.00 share
value.
Note 2 - Summary of Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies, which conform with generally accepted
accounting principles, have been used consistently in the preparation of the
Plan's financial statements:
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.
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 additions and deductions during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment
companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value
of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company stock fund is valued at its
year-end unit closing price (comprised of year-end market price plus uninvested
cash position.). Units of the Company's fixed income fund are valued at net
asset value at year end. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates
fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.

Note 3 - Insurance Company Seizure
On August 11, 1994, regulators in both the United States and Canada seized
control of Confederation Life Insurance Company. These actions were taken to
prevent the possibility of massive demands for cash following a failed business
combination. At the time of the seizure, the Plan's Fixed Income Fund included
an investment contract with a value of approximately $4.8 million. The
recognition of interest income was suspended coincident with the seizure on
August 11, 1994. On October 23, 1996, regulators approved a plan of
rehabilitation and a liquidation order for Confederation Life Insurance Company.
In accordance with the provisions of this plan, the assets subject to seizure
will be distributed to contract holders (i.e., the Plan) under a variety of
payment options. During 1997, the Plan received 100 percent of the original
frozen assets plus $693,877 of interest. These funds were subsequently
transferred out to other investment options in accordance with the participants'
elections.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of VFTC. VFTC
acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by the Plan. Transactions
in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions which are exempt
from the prohibited transaction rules.
Note 5 - Plan Expenses
All recordkeeping expenses for the administration of the Plan, with the
exception of certain miscellaneous fees, are paid by the Company.
Note 6 - Tax Status
The Plan was amended and restated, effective January 1, 1994 to comply with all
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and ERISA. The Committee has
received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) dated February 22, 1996, and accordingly, the Plan is not subject to
federal or local income taxes.
Note 7 - Crown Cork & Seal Fixed Income Fund
The Crown Cork & Seal Fixed Income Fund consists of guaranteed investment
contracts valued at contract value, which approximates fair value. The
guaranteed investment contracts are fully benefit responsive. Interest rates on
guaranteed investment contracts ranged between 5.0 percent and 6.96 percent at
December 31, 1997 and 4.9 percent and 7.0 percent at December 31, 1996. Average
yields on guaranteed investment contracts were 6.07 percent in 1997 and 6.0
percent in 1996.
