           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                the three months then ended is unaudited)


1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed unaudited  consolidated financial statements of
Silgan Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"  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 Holdings' 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  Holdings'  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  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

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                        (0.3)         (1.4)
       Consolidated                        $ 23.7        $ 18.8

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 the  Company's
existing customer base and lower net sales of plastic containers.<PAGE>


                                                               Page 9 of 15

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  cans  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  the
Company'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.<PAGE>

Results of Operations - Historical  (continued)

Selling,  general   and  administrative   expenses  as   a  percentage   of
consolidated net  sales  declined  0.4 percentage  points  to  4.6%  ($12.8
million) for the  three months ended  March 31, 1996,  as compared to  5.0%
($10.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses as  a percentage of net  sales
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, and lower corporate legal and  administrative
costs.  The Company  expects that its  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%
($23.7 million) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with
9.2% ($18.8 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 $5.3  million to  $22.6 million  for the  three
months  ended  March  31,  1996,  principally  as  a  result  of  increased
borrowings to finance the  acquisition of AN Can,  offset, in part, by  the
benefit realized from the purchase of a portion of the Discount  Debentures
with proceeds  from  the lower  cost  credit facility  and  slightly  lower
average bank borrowing rates.<PAGE>

Results of Operations - Historical  (continued)

The provisions for income taxes for  the three months ended March 31,  1996
and 1995 are comprised of Federal, state and foreign income taxes currently
payable.

As a result of the items discussed  above, net income for the three  months
ended March 31, 1996 was $0.1  million, $1.5 million greater than the  loss
of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.


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 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<PAGE>

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.

                                             (Dollars in millions)
Net sales:
    Metal containers and other               $226.4       $253.3
    Plastic containers                         53.5         58.6
       Consolidated                          $279.9       $311.9

Operating profit:

    Plastic containers                          4.2          4.3
    Corporate expense                          (0.3)        (1.4)
       Consolidated                          $ 23.7       $ 27.3

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 the  Company'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% ($23.7 million) as compared  to
pro forma income from operations as a  percentage of sales of  8.8%  ($27.3
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.<PAGE>

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  working capital  borrowings.
As described  below, beginning  in December  1996 the  Company's  liquidity
requirements  will  also  be  affected  by  the  interest  associated  with
Holdings' indebtedness.

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 $12.1 million to $40.1 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 the  Company 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.<PAGE>


                                                              Page 14 of 15

Capital Resources and Liquidity  (continued)

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 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.  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.

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, the Company  will redeem $17.4 million face  value
of its Discount Debentures.  Interest on the Discount 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 Corporation, a  wholly-owned
subsidiary, intends to make such funds  available to Holdings to enable  it
to pay interest on its Discount Debentures.

Presently, the Company is actively considering refinancing a portion of its
Discount Debentures with lower cost indebtedness.  In addition, the Company
is considering refinancing the remainder of its Discount Debentures through
other debt financings and/or equity financings, including a public offering
of equity.   Any such financings  would depend upon  the market  conditions
existing at the time and would have  to be effected in compliance with  the
Company's agreements in respect of its indebtedness.<PAGE>
