APPENDIX A


                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



September 14, 1995

To the Board of Directors of
American National Can Company

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related  statements
of operations and of cash flows  present fairly, in all material  respects,
the financial  position  of  the  Food  Metal  &  Specialty  Division  (the
"Division"), a division of American National  Can Company, at December  31,
1994 and 1993, and  the results of  its operations and  its cash flows  for
each of  the  three  years  in  the period  ended  December  31,  1994,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  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 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.

As discussed in Note  2 to the financial  statements, the Division  changed
its  method  of  accounting  for   postemployment  benefits  in  1994   and
postretirement benefits  in 1993.   Also,  as discussed  in Note  2 to  the
financial statements, the  Division changed  its method  of evaluating  the
recoverability of goodwill in 1994.

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Food Metal & Specialty Division (the "Division") is a division of  American
National  Can  Company  ("ANC")   which  is  an  indirect,   majority-owned
subsidiary of  Pechiney  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation.    Pechiney
Corporation is a  wholly-owned subsidiary of  Pechiney International  S.A.,
which  is  a   majority-owned  subsidiary  of   Pechiney  S.A.,  a   French
corporation.

ANC, including the  operations of the  Division, was  acquired by  Pechiney
Corporation on December  31, 1988.   As a  result of  the acquisition,  the
tangible assets and liabilities of the Division were adjusted to their fair
values as  of the  date of  acquisition  and an  allocated portion  of  the
purchase price and  related expenses  incurred by  Pechiney Corporation  to
acquire ANC, together with the resultant  goodwill related to the  Division
and amortization thereof, have been pushed down to the Division's financial
statements.

The accompanying  financial statements  reflect the  "carve-out"  financial
position, results of  operations and  cash flows  of the  Division for  the
periods presented.   The  financial information  included herein  does  not
necessarily reflect what the financial  position and results of  operations
of the Division would  have been had  it operated as  a stand alone  entity
during the periods covered, and may not be indicative of future  operations
or financial position.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped.

Financial Instruments

The carrying  value  of  the Division's  financial  instruments,  primarily
receivables and payables, generally approximates fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are  stated at  the lower  of cost  or market.   The  costs  of
inventories other than spare parts were determined by the first-in,  first-
out (FIFO) method.  Costs of spare parts inventories were determined by the
weighted average method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

During 1994, the Division  performed a study of  the economic lives of  its
fixed assets  and  determined  that  the  useful  lives  of  certain  asset
categories were  generally  longer than  the  lives used  for  depreciation
purposes.  Therefore, the Division extended the estimated depreciable lives
of certain categories  of property, plant  and equipment (mainly  machinery
and equipment used in the production  process), by a maximum of two  years,
effective January 1, 1994.  The  effect of this change in estimate  reduced
1994 depreciation expense and net loss by $3,203 and $1,957, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill consists  of  an allocated  portion  of the  Pechiney  Corporation
acquisition costs in  excess of the  fair value of  the net  assets of  the
Division (see Note  1).  Goodwill  is amortized on  a straight-line  method
over forty years.

In addition to  the normal charge  for the year,  Pechiney Corporation  and
ANC, in 1994, revised  their method of evaluating  goodwill resulting in  a
writedown of $26,650 relating  to the Division.   A review of the  carrying
value of goodwill in  the light of recent  profitability trends of  certain
assets and current market values resulted in this additional charge.

Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits

Effective January  1, 1993,  the Division  adopted Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards  No. 106,  "Employers' Accounting  for  Postretirement
Benefits  Other  than  Pensions"  ("SFAS  106")  which  requires  that  the
projected cost of all health care and other nonpension benefits provided by
the Division  to its  retired employees  and  their dependents  be  accrued
during an employee's period of service  rather than expensed as paid.   The
cumulative effect of this change in accounting for postretirement  benefits
resulted in  a non-cash,  after-tax  charge in  1993  of $139,983  (net  of
$89,122 of income  tax benefits).   This cumulative  effect represents  the
actuarial present value of all future  medical and life insurance  benefits
to be paid to active employees and employees who retired subsequent to  the
date of  the acquisition  by Pechiney  Corporation (see  Note 1)  based  on
services rendered to date.  The amount of the cumulative effect recorded by
the Division at January 1, 1993 was determined (a) for active employees  on
the basis  of an  actuarial  valuation and  (b)  for retired  employees  by
applying   the   pro   rata   allocation   relationship   for   determining
postretirement benefit expense for retired  employees as described in  Note
11, to the total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for  retired

employees of ANC after reduction for the remaining portion of the liability
established  at  the  date  of  acquisition  by  Pechiney  Corporation  for
employees who had retired at that date.  Additional expense for 1993 due to
the adoption of SFAS 106 exclusive of the cumulative effect was $20,873.

Prior to 1993, the Division accounted for health care and other non-pension
benefits for retired  employees on the  cash basis except  for benefits  of
employees who were retired  as of the date  of the acquisition by  Pechiney
Corporation (see Note 11).

Effective January  1, 1994,  the Division  adopted Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards  No. 112,  "Employers' Accounting  for  Postemployment
Benefits" ("SFAS 112").  This standard requires that the projected costs of
all benefits the  Division provides to  former or  inactive employees  (and
their covered dependents) before  their retirement be  accrued at the  time
they are terminated  or become  inactive.   The cumulative  effect of  this
change in accounting  for postemployment benefits  resulted in a  non-cash,
after-tax charge in  1994 of  $914 (net of  $582 of  income tax  benefits).
There was no impact on  pre-tax earnings in 1994  as a result of  complying
with SFAS 112.

Income Taxes

The Division is included  as part of ANC  in the consolidated U.S.  federal
income tax return of Pechiney Corporation.  The provision for income  taxes
is computed on the taxable income or loss of the Division on a  stand-alone
basis.    For  financial  reporting  purposes,  income  tax  benefits   are
recognized based upon amounts currently recognized by ANC which credits the
Division  for  the  tax  benefits  resulting  from  the  inclusion  of  the
Division's losses in the consolidated return.

The Division accounts  for income taxes  based on the  asset and  liability
approach in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting  for Income  Taxes".   The  asset and  liability  approach
requires the recognition  of deferred tax  assets and  liabilities for  the
expected future  tax  consequences  of temporary  differences  between  the
financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

The liability for the current portion  of the tax provision is  transferred
to the Investments  by and advances  from ANC account  at the  end of  each
year.  The deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been included in
the accompanying balance sheets.

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions

ANC  provides  the  Division  certain  data  processing,  human  resources,
purchasing, credit,  accounting and  tax services.   An  allocation of  the
estimated costs of these services is charged directly to the Division  each
month  by  ANC  using  varying   allocation  bases  (primarily  number   of
transactions processed).   The allocation  process is  consistent with  the
methodology used by ANC to allocate  costs of similar services provided  to
its other business units.  The costs for these services are negotiated  and
agreed to by both  the Division and ANC  each year, and  in the opinion  of
management are reasonable.   The allocated costs  of these services,  which
aggregated $7,110  in  1994, $9,241  in  1993  and $16,153  in  1992,  were
reflected  in  selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses  in   the
accompanying statements of operations.

ANC maintains a  centralized cash management  system and substantially  all
cash receipts and disbursements are recorded  at the corporate level.   The
Division  is  charged  or  credited  for  the  net  of  cash  receipts  and
disbursements each month.

The Division incurs a monthly charge for interest expense from ANC based on
a formula which takes into consideration  its percentage of certain  assets
and liabilities  in relation  to the  total  for ANC  of these  assets  and
liabilities (see Note 8).

The following  table sets  forth the  activity in  the Investments  by  and
advances from ANC account for the  years ended December 31, 1994, 1993  and
1992:

ANC  maintains  agreements  with  certain  banks  to  sell  trade  accounts
receivable, with limited recourse,  on a revolving  basis.  The  agreements
specify  certain  eligibility  criteria  for  receivables  that  are  sold,
including credit quality and  maturity.  At December  31, 1994 and 1993,  a
portion of the Division's receivables were included in the eligible pool of
receivables  sold  by  ANC.    The  balance  sheets  reflect  all  Division
receivables, including those in the eligible pool.

Note 10 - Pension Liabilities

The Division  sponsors defined  benefit retirement  plans covering  certain
hourly  employees  of  the  Division.    The  Division's  remaining  hourly
employees are included  in ANC-sponsored  defined benefit  plans or  multi-
employer union plans.   The Division's salaried  employees are included  in
defined benefit and  defined contribution plans  which cover  substantially
all of the salaried employees of ANC.  The ANC-sponsored plans for salaried
employees provide benefits that  are based on  employees' years of  service
and compensation during employment with the Division.  The Division through
ANC makes contributions to the defined benefit plans at least equal to  the
minimum funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income  Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA).

For the years 1992  through 1994, the discount  rate used to determine  the
actuarial present value of the projected  benefit obligation was 8.0%,  the
expected rate of  return on plan  assets was 10.0%,  and the discount  rate
used to determine the interest cost on the projected benefit obligation was
8.0%.   The expected  increase in  future salaries  for those  plans  using
future compensation assumptions ranged from 4.0% to 6.9% for 1994 and  6.0%
to 8.9% for 1993 and 1992.

All amortization  is based  upon the  average remaining  service period  of
covered employees except for unrecognized  prior service costs for  benefit
improvements negotiated during the current period which are amortized  over
six or ten years (twice the contract period).

The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized for
the Division-sponsored hourly plans in the  balance sheets at December  31,
1994 and 1993:

The plans' assets are held by several master trusts created for  collective
investment of plans' funds.  At December 31, 1994 and 1993, assets held  by
the master  trusts  consisted primarily  of  common and  preferred  stocks,
corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations, pooled funds, real estate and
short-term investments.

At December  31,  1994 and  1993,  equity  adjustments of  $500  and  $246,
respectively, (net  of  taxes of  $318  and $157,  respectively)  had  been
recorded,  representing  the  excess  of  the  additional  minimum  pension
liability  over  the  related  unrecognized  prior  service  cost  for  the
Division-sponsored plans.

The projected  benefit  obligation for  the  Division's active  hourly  and
salaried employees  included in  the ANC-sponsored  defined benefit  plans,
based on actuarial valuations, was  approximately $102,000 at December  31,
1994 and $130,000 at December 31, 1993.  Such obligations are not  included
in the accompanying balance sheets.


Note 11 - Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

ANC sponsors health care and life insurance benefit plans for substantially
all of the Division's hourly and  salaried employees and their  dependents.
Certain of  the plans  require retiree  contributions.   The Division  also
participates  in   several  multi-employer   union  plans   which   provide
postretirement health care benefits to certain hourly employees.

The net postretirement benefit expense for active employees is based on  an
actuarial valuation.  For purposes of  these financial statements, the  net
postretirement benefit  expense  for  retired  employees  of  the  Division
participating in the ANC-sponsored plans was  computed based on a  pro-rata
allocation of the number  of Division employees  that retired between  1989
and 1994 compared to the total number of employees covered by the plans who
retired during the same time period.   This allocation method assumes  that
the percentage of Division employees who retired prior to 1989, compared to
all employees  who  retired  prior to  1989,  approximates  the  percentage
calculated above.  Management  believes that this  method of allocation  is
reasonable.  Total postretirement benefit expense for retired employees  of
ANC participating in  the ANC-sponsored plans  was determined by  actuarial
valuation.

                               (Dollars in thousands)

The net postretirement benefit expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992 included the
following:

                                                  1994      1993      1992 
       In accordance with SFAS 106:
          Allocated portion of service and interest
            cost for the Division's active employees
            participating in ANC-sponsored plans:
               Active hourly employees          $ 2,885   $ 2,642
               Active salaried employees            990       895

          Allocated portion of interest cost for the
            Division's retired employees participating
            in ANC-sponsored plans:
               Retired hourly employees          28,034    28,553
               Retired salaried employees         4,830     5,026
                                                 36,739    37,116

          Net postretirement benefit expense    $37,030   $37,356   $16,312

These benefits are funded  from current Division cash  flows as claims  are
paid.

The postretirement benefit obligation for active employees of the  Division
included in  ANC-sponsored  plans,  which  was  approximately  $28,000  and
$25,500 for hourly employees and $8,900  and $8,000 for salaried  employees
at December 31,  1994 and 1993,  respectively, as  determined by  actuarial
valuation, is  not  reflected in  the  accompanying balance  sheets.    The
postretirement benefit obligation for retired hourly and salaried employees
of the Division are also not included in the accompanying balance sheets.

A discount rate  of 8% was  used for determining  obligations and  interest
costs.

The following  table  shows  the other  assumptions  used  to  develop  the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation  and the net  post-retirement
benefit expense in 1994 and 1993.

          Year ultimate trend rate is achieved  2001      2001      2001

A one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates
would increase the postretirement benefit expense for the Division's active
and  retired  employees  participating   in  the  ANC-sponsored  plans   by
approximately $2,600 for the year ended December 31, 1994.


Note 12 - Other Long-Term Liabilities

The components of other long-term liabilities at December 31, 1994 and 1993
were as follows:

Note 13 - Restructuring

The Division  has  implemented a  restructuring  program to  close  certain
plants, modify  plant operations  and consolidate  and transfer  production
processes between locations.   As a  result of  the restructuring  program,
nine plants have  been closed or  reorganized since 1991  resulting in  the
reduction of approximately 1,100 employees through December 31, 1994.   The
Division recorded a restructuring provision in  June, 1992 of $4,588  which
represented the loss incurred on the sale of property of a closed facility.
In December, 1994, the Division recorded an additional provision of $10,100
for two plants still  in the process of  being closed or reorganized  which
will result in the elimination of approximately 70 additional positions  by
the end of 1995.

The following table sets  forth the activity  in the restructuring  reserve
for 1994 and 1993 and  the reserve balances at  December 31, 1994 and  1993
which are included in accrued  liabilities and other long-term  liabilities
in the accompanying balance sheets.

Employee costs primarily include employee  separation costs to be  incurred
upon plant closures, such as severance and unemployment benefits to be paid
to terminated employees and pension and  retiree medical benefits based  on
actuarial valuation.

Equipment standby  and  project costs  include  costs associated  with  the
modification  of   certain  facilities,   transferring  equipment   between
locations and the ongoing costs of maintaining certain plants and equipment
from the expected closing date to the estimated sale date.

                               (Dollars in thousands)

As a  result  of  closing certain  facilities,  the  restructuring  reserve
includes a  provision  to  record any  excess  assets  at  their  estimated
realizable  values.    Anticipated  proceeds  from  the  sales  of  certain
facilities and excess machinery and equipment have been used to offset  the
total costs associated with the restructuring program.

Substantially all  of these  costs will  be incurred  over the  next  three
years.


Note 14 - Asset Writedowns

In 1994, the Division recorded a  write down of various assets  aggregating
$7,110 due to  the technological  obsolescence of  machinery and  equipment
used in  the  production process  and  machinery and  equipment  which  was
purchased for the manufacture of a new product which was unsuccessful.  The
writedown has been included in Other, net in the accompanying statements of
operations.


Note 15 - Contingencies

The Division is  involved in litigation  and in administrative  proceedings
and investigations  in various  jurisdictions.   A number  of such  matters
involve the  Division,  ANC  and other  parties  related  to  environmental
remediation costs.

It is the Division's policy to  accrue environmental cleanup costs when  it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is  reasonably
estimable.   As assessments  and cleanups  proceed, these  liabilities  are
reviewed  periodically  and  adjusted  as  additional  information  becomes
available.  The liabilities can change substantially due to such factors as
additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, methods of
remediation required, and other actions by governmental agencies or private
parties.

At December 31, 1994, the Division has recorded an environmental reserve of
$23,726 which  includes $737  for plant  locations  that are  currently  in
operation.  The remaining reserve of $22,989 includes plant locations which
have been closed and environmental sites  that are located somewhere  other
than a  plant  location (landfills,  solvent  recovery sites,  dump  sites,
etc.).  The majority of these costs are expected to be paid out within  the
next 10 years, however, certain costs could be incurred for up to 30 years.

                               (Dollars in thousands)

While the Division's liability, if any,  with respect to all pending  suits
and claims  cannot  be  determined at  this  time,  it is  the  opinion  of
management that the outcome of any such matters, and all of them  combined,
will not  have  a  material adverse  effect  on  the  Division's  financial
position or results of operations.


Note 16 - Major Customers

The Division had gross sales in excess of  10% to one customer in 1994  and
1993 amounting to approximately $63,900 and $62,000, respectively.


Note 17 - Subsequent Event

On August 1, 1995, Silgan  Containers Corporation ("Silgan") acquired  from
ANC substantially all of the net operating assets of the Division for  cash
of approximately $336,300.  The  purchase agreement specifies that  certain
additional assets will be sold to Silgan upon completion of a restructuring
project at one  of the  operating plants, but  no later  than December  31,
1996.  Upon  completion of this  transaction, ANC will  no longer  actively
sell products in the food metal and specialty markets.

                             Introductory Note

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect
the acquisition  of the  ANC  Food Metal  &  Specialty Business  by  Silgan
Containers Corporation ("Containers"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of  Silgan
Corporation ("Silgan" or the "Company"), which occurred on August 1,  1995.
The acquisition  will  be  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of
accounting and  the total  purchase cost  will be  allocated first  to  the
tangible and identifiable  intangible assets  and liabilities  of ANC  Food
Metal & Specialty Business acquired and assumed based upon their respective
fair values as determined from  preliminary appraisals and valuations,  and
the remainder, if any, will  be allocated to the  excess of cost over  fair
value of assets acquired.  The aggregate purchase cost and its  preliminary
allocation to the assets and liabilities are as follows:

The pro forma  adjustments are based  upon available  information and  upon
certain assumptions  that  Silgan  believes  are  reasonable.    The  final
purchase price allocation may differ from that shown above, although it  is
not expected to differ materially.

The pro forma financial  data do not purport  to be indicative of  Silgan's
financial position or results  that would actually  have been obtained  had
such transactions  been  completed  as  of the  date  or  for  the  periods
presented,  or  to  project  Silgan's  financial  position  or  results  of
operations at any future date or for any future period.

The unaudited pro  forma statements of  operations include adjustments  for
depreciation, goodwill amortization  and interest  expense (including  debt
amortization) based  upon the  allocated cost  of the  acquisition and  its
related financing.  In addition, estimated pro forma adjustments have  been
made to reflect manufacturing cost  savings which management believes  will
be realized upon the combination  of Silgan's can manufacturing  operations
and that of ANC Food  Metal & Specialty Business,  as well as reduced  SG&A
expenditures which will be realized from the planned integration of  sales,
administrative  and  research  functions.    The  pro  forma  statement  of
operations for the year  ended December 31,  1994 includes a  restructuring
provision of $10.1 million.  This  charge represented a provision for  shut
down costs incurred by ANC Food Metal & Specialty Business during the final
phase of  its four-year  rationalization program  in  which assets  of  its
business were realigned to match more  closely the existing customer  base.
The 1994 pro forma statement of  operations also includes one-time  charges
of $16.7 million and $7.1 million incurred by Silgan and the ANC Food Metal
& Specialty Business, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of certain
technologically obsolete  and inoperable  equipment  and of  $26.7  million
incurred by  ANC Food  Metal &  Specialty Business  for the  write-down  of
goodwill.  The pro forma statements of operations reflect non-cash  charges
for depreciation and  goodwill amortization of  $27.4 million  for the  six
months ended June 30,  1995 and $58.5 million  for the year ended  December
31, 1994.

     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE
      (REFLECTING THE ACQUISITION OF AMERICAN NATIONAL CAN COMPANY'S
                     FOOD METAL & SPECIALTY DIVISION)

                 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             Introductory Note
                                (continued)

During the  last  five  months  of 1995,  the  Company  will  be  incurring
redundant and one-time costs as  it integrates the selling,  administrative
and research functions of its business to accomplish the savings set  forth
in the  pro  forma statements  of  operations.   Under  current  accounting
pronouncements, these  costs  will  be charged  against  operating  income.
Accordingly, earnings for the year ended December 31, 1995 will not reflect
the full  benefits estimated  from the  integration  of the  businesses  as
presented in the accompanying pro forma statements of operations.

As required,  the  Company has  also  not given  pro  forma effect  to  the
anticipated  benefits  it  may   realize  as  a   result  of  the   planned
rationalization of plant operations.

The acquisition of the ANC Food  Metal & Specialty Business occurred as  of
August 1, 1995.  As part of the acquisition, Containers intends to  acquire
the operations  of the  St. Louis,  MO facility  of the  ANC Food  Metal  &
Specialty Business upon completion  by American National  Can Company of  a
rationalization project at that facility.  The Company anticipates that the
St. Louis operations will be acquired by mid-1996.  The estimated  purchase
price of approximately $15.2 million and related assumption of certain post
retirement benefit  obligations  for  active employees  related  to  future
service has been included in the  pro forma presentation on the  assumption
that its purchase was coincident with  the acquisition of the remainder  of
the ANC Food Metal & Specialty Business.

On August  1,  1995, the  Company  entered  into a  $675.0  million  credit
facility, the  proceeds of  which were  used  to finance  the  acquisition,
refinance in full the Company's  outstanding secured debt obligations,  and
to fund the  repurchase of up  to $75.0 million  of discount debentures  of
Silgan Holdings Inc., the  parent company of Silgan  ("Holdings").  On  the
date the facility was entered into, the Company borrowed $512.8 million  to
fund the acquisition  and to repay  the Company's existing  bank debt.   On
August 31, 1995, as part of  the $675.0 million credit facility, the  banks
lent $50 million of A term loans to fund in full the prepayment of Silgan's
senior secured notes.

                             Introductory Note
                                (continued)

The credit facility permits Holdings at any time prior to June 30, 1996  to
repurchase up  to $75.0  million of  its 13/%  Discount Debentures  through
borrowings of  working capital  loans.   The  commitment under  the  credit
facility for working capital loans was initially $150.0 million, increasing
at the  time and  by the  amount of  such repurchases  by Holdings  of  its
discount debentures (up to a maximum commitment of $225.0 million).  During
August and September, Holdings repurchased $57.6 million of its outstanding
13/% Discount Debentures,  and presently  the commitment  under the  credit
facility for working capital loans is $207.6 million.  The Company  intends
to make  additional borrowings  of working  capital loans  of up  to  $17.4
million for the repurchase of Holdings' discount debentures and up to $15.2
million to fund the acquisition of the St. Louis operations.

The pro forma unaudited balance  sheet reflects the acquisition  (including
the  purchase  of  the  St.  Louis  operations),  the  financing  of   such
acquisition,  the  refinancing  of  all  of  the  Company's  secured   debt
obligations and  the  repurchase of  $75.0  million of  Holdings'  discount
debentures, as if all of these  events occurred as of  June 30, 1995.   For
illustration purposes, presented  below is a  table reflecting the  sources
and uses of  funds, hypothetically, for  the acquisition, refinancings  and
repurchases described above (assuming that all these events occurred as  of
June 30, 1995).  The drawdown of  the bank revolver presented in the  table
below is greater than the amount of revolver borrowings which will actually
be outstanding  because the  table does  not  reflect cash  generated  from
operations  during  the  period  from   the  acquisition  date  until   the
acquisition of  the  St. Louis  facility  and/or the  final  repurchase  of
discount debentures.  The hypothetical sources and uses of the fundings are
as follows:

(1)  Hypothetical amount due to the timing of certain uses.

Because the  Company sells  metal containers  used in  vegetable and  fruit
processing, its  sales  are  seasonal.   As  is  common  in  the  packaging
industry, Silgan must build  inventory prior to the  pack season and  carry
accounts receivable beyond the  end of the season.   Seasonal accounts  are
generally settled by year  end.  The  acquisition of the  ANC Food Metal  &
Specialty  Business  increased  the  Company's  seasonal  metal  containers
business and, as  a result,  the Company  increased the  amount of  working
capital loans available to it under  its credit facility to $225.0  million
($150.0 million initially,  increasing to a  maximum of  $225.0 million  as
discussed above).  Because the Company's acquisition of the ANC Food  Metal
& Specialty Business occurred  near its seasonal  peak, the purchase  price
included $162.9 million for  the net working capital  of the business.   If
the acquisition  had occurred  at December  31, 1994,  the working  capital
component of the purchase  price would have been  $56.9 million, or  $106.0
million less than the net working capital at the time of acquisition.   The
Company believes that its  seasonal peak occurred  in late September  1995,
when  approximately  $191.0  million  of  the  working  capital   revolver,
including letters of credit, was utilized.

                          AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

(a)  Restated ANC Food Metal & Specialty Business financial information  to
     conform to Silgan presentation.

(b)  Increased depreciation charge  from historical amount  based upon  the

     estimated useful life of 25 years  for buildings and improvements  and
     5-11 years for machinery and equipment.

(c)  Decreased charge for amortization  of goodwill from historical  amount
     to reflect amortization of estimated excess  fair value over net  book
     value of assets acquired over 40-year period.

(d)  Elimination of pension and post-retirement medical expense for retired
     employees because related obligations were not assumed by Silgan.

(e)  Decreased  cost  of  goods  sold   for  benefits  expected  from   the
     integration of  ANC  Food Metal  &  Specialty Business  with  Silgan's
     existing can manufacturing operation.

(f)  Decrease in the cost of administrative support services which will  be

     functions.

(g)  Estimated  increase  in  interest  expense  due  to  additional   bank
     borrowings of approximately $420 million  at rates ranging from  8.38%
     to 8.63%  (Silgan's  current  bank borrowing  rates)  to  finance  the
     acquisition of ANC Food Metal & Specialty Business assets and to  fund
     Silgan's average working  capital requirements  plus the  non-interest
     bearing advance  to  Parent  of $75  million  for  the  repurchase  of
     Parent's discount debentures.

     accordance with SFAS  109 applied to  pro forma  income before  income
     taxes.

     extraordinary charge  resulting  from  the  write-off  of  unamortized
     deferred financing costs.
