           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

           three months and six months then ended is unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed unaudited  consolidated financial statements of
Silgan Corporation  ("Silgan"  or  the "Company")  have  been  prepared in
accordance with  Rule  10-01  of Regulation  S-X  and,  therefore,  do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position,  results of  operations and  cash flows  in conformity
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.   All  adjustments  of a
normal recurring nature  have been  made, including  appropriate estimates
for reserves and  provisions which are  normally determined  or settled at
year end.    In the  opinion  of the  Company,  however,  the accompanying
financial statements  contain  all  adjustments  (consisting  solely  of a
normal recurring nature)  necessary to  present fairly  Silgan's financial
position as of June 30, 1994  and 1993 and December  31, 1993, the results
of operations for the three months and six  months ended June 30, 1994 and
1993, and the statements of cash  flows for the six  months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993.

While the Company believes that the  disclosures presented are adequate to
make the information not misleading, it  is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with  the financial statements and notes
included in  Silgan's  Annual  Report on  Form  10-K  for  the  year ended
December 31, 1993.

In the first quarter  of 1993, the Company  adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards   ("SFAS")  No.   106  "Employers'   Accounting  for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" and  SFAS No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes".   In  the fourth quarter  of 1993,  the Company adopted
SFAS No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" effective
as of  January  1,  1993.   The  cumulative  effect  of  these  changes in
accounting methods aggregated  $9,951.   The financial statements  for the
period ended June 30, 1993  have been restated to  reflect the adoption of
SFAS No. 112.<PAGE>

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1994 Compared with
Three Months Ended June 30, 1993

Net sales of  metal containers  were $150.4 million  for the  three months
ended June  30,  1994 (including  net  sales of  $51.5  million  and $41.0
million to Nestle Food Company ("Nestle")  and Del Monte Corporation ("Del
Monte"), respectively, during such period), an  increase of $52.4 million,
or 53.5%, over net sales of metal containers of $98.0 million for the same
period in 1993 (including net  sales of $48.5 million  and $2.4 million to
Nestle and Del Monte, respectively, during the  same period in 1993.)  The
increase in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1994 as compared
to the  three months  ended June  30, 1993  was primarily  attributable to
increased unit sales due to the  acquisitions of all of  the assets of Del
Monte's container manufacturing business  in the United  States ("DM Can")
in December 1993 and of an  additional manufacturing facility in May 1993,
increased sales of  containers to existing  customers, including vegetable
pack customers, and an increase in unit  sales to Nestle, offset, in part,
by modestly lower average sales prices.

Net sales of  plastic containers increased  $1.1 million  to $48.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1994, as compared to $47.0 million for
the same  period in  1993.   The  increase  in net  sales  was principally
attributable to increased unit sales to new and existing customers.

Sales of other containers totaled $2.5  million for the three months ended
June 30, 1994, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 1993.

Cost of goods sold was 85.7%  of net sales ($172.2  million) for the three
months ended  June  30,  1994, a  decrease  of  0.9  percentage  points as
compared to 86.6%  of net  sales ($128.6 million)  for the  same period in
1993.  The  decrease in cost  of goods sold  as a percentage  of net sales
principally resulted from improved manufacturing  efficiencies as a result
of  capital  investments  and  synergistic  benefits  resulting  from  the
acquisition of DM Can.  Also,  the purchase of an additional manufacturing
facility in May  1993 increased production  capacity and  offset the first
half  1993  outsourcing  requirement   for  which  there   was  no  margin
contribution.<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Selling, general and administrative expenses as  a percentage of net sales
declined 0.8 percentage points to 4.9% of net sales ($9.8 million) for the
three months ended June 30,  1994, as compared to  5.7% ($8.5 million) for
the same  period in  1993.   The  decrease as  a percentage  of  net sales
resulted from the  Company's ability  to absorb  the increase  in selling,
general and administrative functions associated with the acquisition of DM
Can with a modest increase in expenses.

Income from  operations  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  increased  2.2
percentage points to 9.4% ($18.9 million) for the three months ended  June
30, 1994, compared with 7.7% ($11.5 million)  for the same period in 1993.
The increase in income from operations of $7.4 million was attributable to
the margin realized  on the  increased sales volume,  offset, in  part, by
slightly higher  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  on  the
increased sales base.

Interest expense increased by  approximately $2.1 million  to $8.9 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1994.   The increase resulted from the
incurrance of additional bank borrowings to  finance the acquisition of DM
Can and higher average bank borrowing rates.

The provision for income  taxes for the  three months ended  June 30, 1994
and June 30,  1993 provide  for taxes as  if the  Company were  a separate
taxpayer in accordance with SFAS No. 109.

As a result of the items discussed above,  net income for the three months
ended June 30, 1994 was $5.9 million, $3.1 million greater than net income
for the three months ended June 30, 1993 of $2.8 million.<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 Compared with
Six Months Ended June 30, 1993

Net sales of metal containers were $283.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1994 (including net sales of  $101.9 million and $76.5 million to
Nestle and Del  Monte, respectively, during  such period),  an increase of
$88.4 million,  or 45.3%,  over net  sales of  metal containers  of $195.3
million for the same period in 1993 (including net sales of $106.3 million
and $4.4 million  to Nestle and  Del Monte, respectively,  during the same
period in 1993.)  The increase in net sales  for the six months ended June
30, 1994 as compared to the  six months ended June  30, 1993 was primarily
attributable to increased unit sales due to  the acquisitions of DM Can in
December 1993 and of an additional  manufacturing facility in May 1993 and
increased sales of  containers to existing  customers, including vegetable
pack customers,  offset,  in  part, by  lower  unit  sales  to  Nestle and
modestly lower average sales prices.

Net sales of plastic containers increased  $3.2 million, or 3.4%, to $98.1
million for  the six  months ended  June  30, 1994,  as compared  to $94.9
million for  the same  period in  1993.   The  increase in  net  sales was
attributable to increased  unit sales  to new  and existing  customers and
higher average sales prices due to a change in product mix.

Sales of other  containers totaled $5.4  million for the  six months ended
June 30, 1994, compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 1993.

Cost of goods  sold was 86.7%  of net sales  ($335.7 million)  for the six
months ended  June  30,  1994, a  decrease  of  0.9  percentage  points as
compared to 87.6%  of net  sales ($260.4 million)  for the  same period in
1993.  The  decrease in cost  of goods sold  as a percentage  of net sales
principally resulted from improved manufacturing  efficiencies as a result
of capital investments, increased  margin contribution due to  a change in
the mix  of  products sold  and  synergistic benefits  resulting  from the
acquisition of DM Can.  Also,  the purchase of an additional manufacturing
facility in May  1993 increased production  capacity and  offset the first
half  1993  outsourcing  requirement   for  which  there   was  no  margin
contribution.<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



Selling, general and administrative expenses as  a percentage of net sales
declined 0.9 percentage  points to 4.7%  of net sales  ($18.3 million) for
the six months ended  June 30, 1994,  as compared to  5.6% ($16.5 million)
for the same period  in 1993.  The  decrease as a percentage  of net sales
resulted from the  Company's ability  to absorb  the increase  in selling,
general and administrative functions associated with the acquisition of DM
Can with a modest increase in expenses.

Income from  operations  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  increased  1.8
percentage points to  8.6% ($33.2 million)  for the six  months ended June
30, 1994, compared with 6.8% ($20.3 million)  for the same period in 1993.
The increase in income  from operations of $12.9  million was attributable
to the margin realized on the increased  sales volume, offset, in part, by
slightly higher  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  on  the
increased sales base.

Interest expense increased by approximately $3.8  million to $17.3 million
for the six months  ended June 30, 1994.   The increase  resulted from the
incurrance of additional bank borrowings to  finance the acquisition of DM
Can and higher average bank borrowing rates.

The provision for income taxes for the six  months ended June 30, 1994 and
June 30, 1993 provide for taxes as if the Company were a separate taxpayer
in accordance with SFAS No. 109.

As a result of the items  discussed above, income before cumulative effect
of changes in accounting principles for the six months ended June 30, 1994
was $9.3  million, $5.5  million greater  than income  for the  six months
ended June 30, 1993 of $3.8 million.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted  SFAS No. 106, SFAS No. 109
and SFAS No. 112.  The cumulative  effect of these accounting changes, for
years prior to 1993, was to decrease net income by $10.0 million.<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's liquidity requirements arise  primarily from its obligations
under the indebtedness  incurred in  connection with its  acquisitions and
the refinancing  of  such  indebtedness,  capital  investment  in  new and
existing equipment  and  the  funding of  the  Company's  seasonal working
capital  needs.    Historically,  the  Company  has  met  these  liquidity
requirements through  cash flow  generated from  operating  activities and
borrowings of working capital loans.

For the first six months  of 1994, the borrowing  of working capital loans
of $32.8 million  was used to  fund operating activities  of $11.4 million
and capital expenditures of  $9.6 million, increase cash  balances by $6.5
million  and  pay  $5.3  million  in  partial  settlement  of  outstanding
litigation.  The  Company's earnings before  depreciation, interest, taxes
and amortization for  the six  months ended   June  30, 1994  increased by
$15.8 million over  the same  period in  the prior  year to  $52.2 million
because of higher earnings  realized on increased sales  volume.  However,
cash used by operations during  the first six months  of 1994 increased by
$10.5 million  over the  same period  in  1993 because  of an  increase in
working capital needs in 1994.  During the first six months of 1994, there
was an increase  in accounts  receivable due to  greater sales  during the
first half of  1994 and  an increase in  inventories due  to the projected
requirements for DM Can and other vegetable pack customers, offset, in
part, by an increase  in trade accounts payable  resulting from the higher
inventory levels.

Because the Company  sells metal  containers used  in vegetable  and fruit
processing, its  sales  are  seasonal.  As  is  common  in  the  packaging
industry, the Company must  access working capital to  build inventory and
then carry accounts  receivable for some  customers beyond the  end of the
summer and fall packing  season.  Seasonal accounts  are generally settled
by year  end.   Due to  the Company's  seasonal requirements,  the Company
incurred  short  term   indebtedness  to   finance  its   working  capital
requirements,  and  approximately  $50  million  of  the  working  capital
revolver, including letters of  credit, were utilized at  its peak in July
1994.

As of June 30,  1994, the outstanding principal  amount of working capital
loans was $35.0  million and, subject  to a borrowing  base limitation and
taking into account outstanding  letters of credit, the  unused portion of
working capital commitments at such date was $28.3 million.<PAGE>

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY (Continued)

In May 1994, Silgan  Containers Corporation, a wholly  owned subsidiary of
Silgan ("Containers"), extended the term of three of its supply agreements
with Nestle (representing approximately 65% of the Company's unit sales to
Nestle) through December 31, 2001.

On December  21, 1993,  Containers acquired  DM  Can from  Del Monte.   To
finance the acquisition, Silgan and its subsidiaries entered into a credit
agreement, which credit agreement  also refinanced in  full Silgan's prior
credit agreement.  In conjunction therewith, the banks party to the credit
agreement loaned Silgan  an aggregate  of $140 million  of term  loans and
agreed to  lend to  Silgan's subsidiaries  up  to $70  million  of working
capital loans.  In  addition, in conjunction with  the acquisition, Silgan
Holdings Inc., the parent  holding company of Silgan,  sold 250,000 shares
of its Class B Common Stock for $15 million and, in turn, contributed such
amount to Silgan.<PAGE>
