(Dollars in thousands)
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 March 31, 1996 and 1995 and December 31, 1995, the results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995.
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, 1995.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
lived Assets to be Disposed of" in the first quarter of 1996. Under SFAS
No. 121, impairment losses will be recognized when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows generated by the
assets are less than the carrying value of such assets. Impairment losses
are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying
amount. There were no impairment losses recognized during the first
quarter of 1996 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 121.<PAGE>

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)
The Company also adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" for 1996. Under SFAS No. 123, compensation expense for all
stock-based compensation plans would be recognized based on the fair value
of the options at the date of grant using an option pricing model. As
permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company may either adopt the new
pronouncement or follow the current accounting methods as prescribed under
APB No. 25. The Company has not elected to adopt SFAS No. 123 and
continues to recognize compensation expense in accordance with APB No. 25.

3. Acquisitions
Set forth below is the Company's summary unaudited pro forma results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The unaudited pro
forma results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March
31, 1995 include the historical results of the Company and the Food Metal &
Specialty business of American National Can ("AN Can") for such period and
give effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments
made to the historical results of operations for March 31, 1995 reflect the
effect of purchase accounting adjustments based upon preliminary appraisals
and valuations, the financing of the acquisition by the Company, the
refinancing of the Company's secured debt obligations, and certain other
adjustments as if these events had occurred as of the beginning of the
1995. The following unaudited pro forma results of operations do not
purport to represent what the Company's results of operations would
actually have been had the transactions in fact occurred on January 1,
1995, or to project the Company's results of operations for any future
period (dollars in thousands):

4. Advance to Parent
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company advanced to Silgan
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings" or "Parent"), on a non-interest bearing basis,
$57.6 million in order for Holdings to purchase $61.7 million face amount
of its 13 1/4% Senior Discount Debentures due 2002 ("Holdings'
Debentures"). In June of 1996, the Company intends to make an additional
non-interest bearing advance of $17.4 million to Holdings to fund the
redemption by Holdings of a portion of its Discount Debentures.<PAGE>

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations - Historical
Three months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared with
Three Months Ended March 31, 1995
Summary results for the Company's two business segments, metal and plastic
containers, for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are provided
below.
March 31,
1996 1995
(Dollars in millions)
Net sales:
Metal containers and other $226.4 $144.7
Plastic containers 53.5 58.6
Consolidated $279.9 $203.3
Operating profit:
Metal containers and other $ 19.8 $ 15.9
Plastic containers 4.2 4.3
Corporate expense (0.1) (0.6)
Consolidated $ 23.9 $ 19.6
Consolidated net sales increased $76.6 million, or 37.7%, to $279.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to net sales of
$203.3 million for the same three months in the prior year. This increase
resulted primarily from net sales generated by the AN Can operations
offset, in part, by lower net sales of metal containers to Silgan's
existing customer base and lower net sales of plastic containers.<PAGE>
Page 9 of 16
Results of Operations - Historical (continued)
Net sales for the metal container business (including net sales of its
specialty business of $22.6 million) were $226.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $81.7 million from net sales of
$144.7 million for the same period in 1995. Net sales of metal cans of
$203.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $61.2 million
greater than net sales of metal containers of $142.6 million for the same
period in 1995. This increase resulted principally from net sales of metal
cans generated by the AN Can operations of $85.6 million during the first
three months of 1996. The decline in sales of metal containers to Silgan's
existing customers of $24.4 million during the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the first quarter of 1995 was primarily attributable to lower
unit volume. Approximately half of the decline reflects the expected
production and shipment of vegetable pack cans in the second and third
quarters of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995, and the
remainder of the decline relates to lower unit sales of products other than
vegetable containers.
Sales of specialty items included in the metal container segment increased
$20.5 million to $22.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 1996
as compared to the same period in 1995, due to additional sales generated
in 1996 by the operations acquired from AN Can.
Net sales for the plastic container business of $53.5 million during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased $5.1 million from net sales of
$58.6 million for the same period in 1995. The decline in net sales
resulted principally from the pass through of lower resin costs.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of consolidated net sales was 86.9%
($243.3 million) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of
1.2 percentage points as compared to 85.7% ($174.3 million) for the same
period in 1995. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net
sales was primarily attributable to the higher cost base of the AN Can
operations and increased per unit manufacturing costs resulting from lower
can production volumes, offset, in part, by improved operating efficiencies
due to plant consolidations and synergies realized from the AN Can
acquisition.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
consolidated net sales declined 0.1 percentage points to 4.5% ($12.6
million) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 4.6%
($9.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
principally reflects the expected lower administrative expense realized
from the integration of AN Can and the Company, despite the incurrence of
redundant costs during the integration. The Company expects that its<PAGE>
Page 10 of 16
Results of Operations - Historical (continued)
selling, general and administration costs as a percentage of sales will
continue to decline in 1996 as it completes the integration of the
administrative functions of its metal container business.
Income from operations as a percentage of consolidated net sales was 8.5%
($23.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with
9.6% ($19.6 million) for the same period in 1995. The decline in income
from operations as a percentage of consolidated net sales was primarily
attributable to the aforementioned decline in gross margin.
Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the metal container
business was 8.8% ($19.8 million) for the three months ended March 31,
1996, as compared to 11.0% ($15.9 million) for the same period in the prior
year. The decrease in income from operations as a percentage of net sales
for the metal container business principally resulted from higher per unit
manufacturing costs incurred as a result of lower production volume and
lower margins realized on sales made from AN Can facilities due to their
higher cost base.
Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the plastic
container business was 7.9% ($4.2 million) for the three months ended March
31, 1996, as compared to 7.3% ($4.3 million) for the same period in 1995.
The operating performance of the plastic container business improved as a
result of production planning and scheduling efficiencies and benefits
realized from capital investment.
Interest expense increased $6.4 million to $15.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, principally as a result of increased
borrowings to finance the acquisition of AN Can and the redemption of a
portion of Holdings Debentures, offset, in part, by slightly lower average
borrowing rates.
The provisions for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995 provide for federal, state and foreign taxes as if the Company
were a separate taxpayer in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes".
As a result of the items discussed above, net income for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 was $4.8 million, as compared to $5.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1995.<PAGE>
Page 11 of 16
Results of Operations - Pro forma
Three months Historical Ended March 31, 1996 Compared with
Three Months Pro Forma Ended March 31, 1995
The following table compares the historical results of operations of the
Company for the three months ended March 31, 1996, to the pro forma results
of operations of the Company and AN Can for the three months ended March
31, 1995, after giving effect to the acquisition of AN Can as of the
beginning of 1995.
The pro forma data includes the historical results of the Company and AN
Can and reflects the effect of purchase accounting adjustments based on
preliminary appraisals and valuations, the financing of the acquisition of
AN Can, the refinancing of certain of the Company's secured debt
obligations, and certain other adjustments as if these events occurred as
of the beginning of the period presented. The pro forma adjustments are
based upon available information and upon certain assumptions that the
Company believes are reasonable. The purchase price allocation will be
finalized within one year of the closing of the acquisition of AN Can and
may differ from that used for the pro forma data. Differences between
actual and preliminary valuations, actuarially computed employee benefit
costs, and expenses associated with plant rationalizations may cause
adjustments to the AN Can purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro
forma combined financial data do not purport to represent what the
Company's financial position or results of operations would actually have
been had these transactions in fact occurred on the date or at the
beginning of the period indicated, or to project the Company's financial
position or results of operations for any future date or period. The pro
forma information presented should be read in conjunction with the
historical results of operations of the Company for the quarters ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995.

Results of Operations - Pro forma (continued)
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 declined
$32.0 million as compared to pro forma consolidated net sales for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease in net sales was attributable to a
decline in net sales to Silgan's existing customers of $24.4 million due to
the expected production and shipment of vegetable pack cans in the second
and third quarters of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995 and
lower unit sales of products other than vegetable containers, lower sales
from the AN Can facilities of $4.9 million principally due to a customer
shifting to self manufacturing, and lower sales of plastic containers due
to the pass through of lower resin costs, offset, in part, by higher sales
of specialty packaging products.
Income from operations as a percentage of consolidated net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 was 8.5% ($23.9 million) as compared to
pro forma income from operations as a percentage of sales of 9.0% ($28.1
million) for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Management believes
that the decrease in income from operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to pro forma income from operations for the same
period in the prior year was attributable to increased per unit costs
realized on lower production and sales volumes offset by the realization of
greater than anticipated manufacturing synergies and slightly lower
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Silgan'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 Silgan's seasonal working capital needs.
Historically, Silgan has met these liquidity requirements through cash flow
generated from operating activities and working capital borrowings. As
described below, beginning in December 1996 Silgan's liquidity requirements
will also be affected by the interest associated with Holdings'
indebtedness.<PAGE>
Page 13 of 16
Capital Resources and Liquidity (continued)
For the first three months of 1996, net borrowings of working capital loans
of $53.1 million and proceeds of $1.5 million from the sale of assets were
used to fund $31.2 million of the Company's operating activities, capital
expenditures of $18.6 million, the repayment of $0.9 million of term loans,
and increase cash balances by $3.9 million. The Company's earnings before
depreciation, interest, taxes and amortization ("EBDITA") for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 increased by $11.5 million to $40.3 million in
comparison to the same period in 1995. The increase in EBDITA principally
reflected the generation of additional cash earnings from the AN Can
operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the operating cash flow of the
Company declined from the same period in the prior year primarily as a
result of the increased working capital needed, mainly for inventory, to
support the AN Can operations. Inventories increased due to the normal
seasonal build while accounts receivable declined from year-end as a result
of lower sales volume in 1996 and the payment by certain customers of
amounts due at year-end in early 1996. The decline in trade accounts
payable is attributable to the adoption by Silgan of vendor payment terms
similar to AN Can.
Management believes that the average working capital needs of the combined
operations of the Company and AN Can for 1996 as compared to the pro forma
combined operations in the prior year will decline predominately as a
result of carrying a lower amount of finished goods inventory due to
scheduling production closer to the summer seasonal peak and the change in
vendor payment terms referred to above.
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. The acquisition of AN Can increased Silgan'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. Due to the Company's seasonal requirements, the Company expects
to incur short term indebtedness to finance its working capital
requirements, and it is estimated that approximately $170 million of its
working capital revolver, including letters of credit, will be utilized at
its peak in June 1996.<PAGE>
Page 14 of 16
Capital Resources and Liquidity (continued)
As of March 31, 1996, the outstanding principal amount of working capital
loans of the Company was $60.2 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 $141.3
million.
Effective June 15, 1996, Silgan intends to advance $17.4 million to
Holdings to fund the redemption of Holdings' Debentures at their fully
accreted value. Interest on Holdings' Debentures is payable at a rate of
13 1/4% per annum from and after June 15, 1996, and commencing on December
15, 1996 semi-annual interest payments of up to $13.0 million will be
required to be made thereon. Silgan intends to make such funds available
to Holdings to enable it to pay interest on Holdings' Debentures.
Presently, Silgan is actively considering refinancing a portion of
Holdings' Debentures with lower cost indebtedness. In addition, Silgan and
Holdings are considering refinancing the remainder of Holdings' Debentures
through other debt financings and/or equity financings, including a public
offering of equity in which case the amount of funding from Silgan for the
semi-annual interest payments will decline. Any such financings would
depend upon the market conditions existing at the time and would have to be
effected in compliance with Silgan's and/or Holdings', as the case may be,
agreements in respect of their respective indebtedness.<PAGE>
