3.       Investment in E-Commerce Packaging Venture

On April 5, 2000,  the Company  announced  that it will be investing up to $20.0
million  for a minority  interest  in a neutral,  independent  e-commerce  joint
venture,  Packtion  Corporation,  with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Private Equity
and Diamond Technology Partners. On June 2, 2000, the Company funded its initial
equity  investment  of $3.5 million for  approximately  45% of the  interests in
Packaging  Markets  LLC,  the parent  company of Packtion  Corporation.  The new
company, which has $52.7 million in combined funding commitments, is expected to
provide a comprehensive  online marketplace for packaging goods and services and
to combine  content,  tools and  collaboration  capabilities  to streamline  the
product development process and enhance transaction opportunities for buyers and
sellers of packaging.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company  expensed $0.7 million  related to
start-up costs incurred for Packtion  Corporation.  These costs were  reimbursed
during the second quarter of 2000 in accordance with the terms of the agreements
for Packtion Corporation,  and the Company's selling, general and administrative
expenses for the quarter were credited in the same amount.  Further,  during the
second  quarter of 2000 the  Company  recorded  its equity in losses of Packtion
Corporation aggregating $2.1 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Net Sales.  Consolidated  net sales decreased $10.5 million,  or 2.4%, to $422.5
million as compared to the second quarter of 1999 as a result of lower net sales
of the metal food container and specialty packaging  businesses,  offset in part
by higher net sales of the plastic container business.

Net sales for the metal food  container  business  were  $303.7  million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 3.2%, from net
sales of $313.9  million  for the same  period in 1999.  The  decrease in second
quarter net sales was primarily attributable to lower unit sales.

Net sales for the plastic  container  business of $86.1 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2000  increased $2.1 million,  or 2.5%,  from net sales of
$84.0  million  for the same  period  in 1999.  The  increase  in net  sales was
principally  attributable to higher average sales prices due to the pass through
of  increased  resin costs and was offset in part by lower unit sales to certain
major customers who were adjusting their inventory levels.

Net sales for the specialty  packaging business decreased $2.4 million, or 6.9%,
to $32.7  million  during the three months  ended June 30, 2000,  as compared to
$35.1  million for the same period in 1999.  This decrease was due to lower unit
sales and a change in sales mix in the  current  quarter as compared to the same
period in 1999 due to a change in customer  requirements  during the second half
of 1999.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of consolidated net sales
was 87.5% ($369.8 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase
of 1.3  percentage  points as compared to 86.2%  ($373.2  million)  for the same
period in 1999.  The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily  attributable
to the effect of  increased  resin costs of the plastic  container  business and
lower net sales of the metal food container and specialty packaging businesses.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses as a percentage of consolidated  net sales decreased to
4.1% ($17.3  million) for the three  months ended June 30, 2000,  as compared to
4.5% ($19.6  million) for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was
primarily  attributable  to the absence of Year 2000 readiness costs incurred in
the prior year and a credit  recorded in the current year quarter ($0.7 million)
relating to the  reimbursement  of start-up costs for the  e-commerce  packaging
venture affiliate that the Company incurred during the first quarter of 2000.

Income from  Operations.  Income from operations as a percentage of consolidated
net sales for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  decreased  to 8.4% ($35.3
million), as compared to 9.3% ($40.2 million) for the same period in 1999.

<PAGE>



Income  from  operations  for the metal food  container  business  for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000  decreased  $2.5  million to $26.3  million from the
comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily a result of lower unit
sales and increased per unit  manufacturing  costs due to the Company's  planned
inventory reduction. Operating margins declined 0.5 percentage points to 8.7% in
the second  quarter of 2000 as  compared  to the second  quarter of 1999 for the
reasons mentioned above.

Income from operations for the plastic container business decreased $2.3 million
to $8.5 million from the second quarter of 1999. This decrease was  attributable
to lower overall  average  selling prices  resulting from  competitive  pricing,
higher per unit  manufacturing  costs as a result of lower unit sales and higher
depreciation.  Operating  margins declined 3.0 percentage  points to 9.9% in the
second  quarter of 2000 as compared  to 12.9% in the second  quarter of 1999 for
the reasons  mentioned  above and as a result of the effect of  increased  resin
costs which were passed on to customers.

Income from operations for the specialty packaging business for the three months
ended June 30, 2000  decreased  $1.1 million to $1.0 million from the comparable
prior year period.  This  decrease was  primarily due to the effect of lower net
sales and operating  inefficiencies at one plant. Operating margins declined 2.9
percentage  points to 3.1% in the  second  quarter  of 2000 as  compared  to the
second quarter of 1999 for the reasons mentioned above.

Interest  Expense.  Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $21.6 million for
the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 as  compared to the same period in 1999.
Lower average  borrowings  outstanding during the quarter due to prior year debt
repayments and lower average net working capital during the current year quarter
offset most of the additional  interest  incurred as a result of higher interest
rates.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 was recorded at an effective  tax rate of 39.0% ($5.4  million and
$7.4 million, respectively).

Net Income and Earnings per Share.  Income  before equity in losses of affiliate
for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 was $8.4  million,  as compared to net
income of $11.5 million for the same period in 1999.  Earnings per diluted share
before equity in losses of affiliate for the second  quarter of 2000 were $0.47,
as  compared  to $0.64  for the same  period in the prior  year.  Including  the
Company's  equity  in  losses  of  affiliate  of  $2.1  million  related  to the
e-commerce  packaging  venture,  net income for the three  months ended June 30,
2000 was $6.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

Net Sales.  Consolidated  net sales  increased $1.5 million,  or 0.2%, to $833.2
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  as  compared to net sales of
$831.7  million for the same six months in the prior  year.  This  increase  was
attributable  to higher net sales of the plastic  container  business which were
mostly  offset  by lower net sales of the metal  food  container  and  specialty
packaging businesses.

Net sales for the metal food container  business were $599.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $2.9 million,  or 0.5%, from net sales
of $602.1  million for the same period in 1999.  This decrease was primarily due
to a change in sales mix which  resulted in a lower overall  average sales price
and was offset in part by slightly higher unit sales.

Net sales for the plastic  container  business of $170.7  million during the six
months ended June 30, 2000  increased $7.8 million,  or 4.8%,  from net sales of
$162.9  million  for the same  period  in 1999.  The  increase  in net sales was
principally attributable to higher average sales prices of the plastic container
business due to the pass through of increased resin costs and was offset in part
by lower  unit  sales to  certain  major  customers  who  were  adjusting  their
inventory levels.

Net sales for the specialty  packaging business decreased $3.4 million, or 5.1%,
to $63.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $66.7
million for the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to
lower unit sales and a change in sales mix during the current period as compared
to the same period in 1999 due to a change in customer  requirements  during the
second half of 1999.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of consolidated net sales
was 87.8%  ($731.8  million) for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase
of 0.7  percentage  points as compared to 87.1%  ($724.1  million)  for the same
period in 1999. The decline in gross profit  margins was primarily  attributable
to the effect of  increased  resin costs of the plastic  container  business and
lower net sales of the metal food container and specialty packaging businesses.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses as a percentage  of  consolidated  net sales  decreased
slightly  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 to 4.4% ($36.4  million),  as
compared to 4.5% ($37.3  million) for the same period in 1999.  The decrease was
primarily attributable to the absence of costs incurred in the prior year period
for Year 2000 readiness activities.

Income from  Operations.  Income from operations as a percentage of consolidated
net sales for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000  decreased  to 7.8%  ($65.0
million), as compared to 8.5% ($70.4 million) for the same period in 1999.

Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the metal food container
business  increased  slightly to 8.0% ($47.9  million)  for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to 7.9% ($47.7  million) for the same period in 1999.
The  increase in  operating  margins for the metal food  container  business was
principally due to cost savings achieved from previous plant shut downs, and was
offset in part by increased  per unit  manufacturing  costs due to the Company's
planned inventory reduction.

Income from  operations as a percentage  of net sales for the plastic  container
business for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased 2.4 percentage  points
to 10.4%  ($17.7  million),  as compared to 12.8%  ($20.9  million) for the same
period in 1999.  The decrease in income from  operations  as a percentage of net
sales was  attributable  to the  effects of lower unit  sales,  increased  resin
costs,  lower overall average selling prices resulting from competitive  pricing
and higher depreciation.

Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the specialty  packaging
business  decreased  to 2.1% ($1.3  million)  for the six months  ended June 30,
2000,  as  compared  to 6.0% ($4.0  million)  for the same  period in 1999.  The
decrease in income from operations as a percentage of net sales was attributable
to the  effect  of  lower  net  sales,  a  change  in  sales  mix and  operating
inefficiencies at one plant.

Interest  Expense.  Interest expense increased $0.3 million to $42.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Lower
average borrowings  outstanding during the current year period due to prior year
debt  repayments  and lower average net working  capital during the current year
period  offset most of the  additional  interest  incurred as a result of higher
interest rates.

Income  Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 was recorded at an effective  tax rate of 39.0% ($8.7  million and
$10.9 million, respectively).

Net Income and Earnings per Share.  Income  before equity in losses of affiliate
for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 was $13.7  million,  as compared to net
income of $17.1 million for the same period in 1999.  Earnings per diluted share
before equity in losses of affiliate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
$0.76, as compared to $0.93 for the same period in the prior year. Including the
Company's  equity  in  losses  of  affiliate  of  $2.1  million  related  to the
e-commerce  packaging venture, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $11.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share.

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 revolving loan borrowings.

For the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  the Company  used net  borrowings  of
revolving loans of $178.9 million under the Company's U.S. Credit  Agreement and
proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million to fund cash used by
operations of $132.5 million for the Company's  seasonal  working capital needs,
the Company's  investment of $3.5 million in the  e-commerce  packaging  venture
affiliate,  repurchases  of  common  stock  for  $1.1  million  and net  capital
expenditures of $39.4 million and to increase cash balances by $2.9 million.

Because the Company  sells metal  containers  used in fruit and  vegetable  pack
processing,  its sales are seasonal.  As is common in the 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  expects  to  incur  short-term
indebtedness to finance its working capital requirements.

The Company  utilizes its revolving loan facilities for seasonal working capital
needs and for other  general  corporate  purposes,  including  acquisitions  and
repurchases  of its common stock.  For 2000,  the Company  estimates that at its
month-end  peak  it  will  utilize  approximately  $230  - $240  million  of its
revolving loan facilities for seasonal working capital needs.  Amounts available
under the Company's  revolving loan facilities in excess of its seasonal working
capital needs are available to the Company to pursue its growth strategy and for
other permitted purposes.

As of June  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  $304.1  million  of  revolving  loans
outstanding,  of which $178.9  million  related  primarily  to seasonal  working
capital needs and $125.2 million related to long-term financing of acquisitions.
Revolving  loans not expected to be repaid within one year have been recorded as
long-term  debt.  The unused  portion of revolving  loan  commitments  under the
Company's  credit  agreements  at June  30,  2000,  after  taking  into  account
outstanding letters of credit, was $229.5 million.

On July 27,  2000,  the Company  announced  that it has reached an  agreement in
principle to acquire all of the  outstanding  stock of RXI, a  manufacturer  and
seller of rigid plastic packaging. The transaction is subject to negotiation and
execution  of  definitive  documentation,  completion  by  the  Company  of  due
diligence,  receipt of all necessary  governmental and third party approvals and
other  customary  terms and  conditions.  The Company  anticipates  closing this
transaction  prior  to the end of the  third  quarter  of 2000 and  funding  the
purchase price with revolving loans under its U.S. Credit Agreement.

Pursuant  to the  indenture  relating  to  the  Company's  13-1/4%  Subordinated
Debentures (the "13-1/4% Debentures"), the Company is permitted to redeem all or
any  of  the  13-1/4%  Debentures  beginning  July  15,  2000.  The  Company  is
considering  redeeming  in the  second  half of the year all of its  outstanding
13-1/4%  Debentures  ($56.2 million  principal  amount) at a redemption price of
109.938% of their principal  amount in accordance with their terms,  using lower
cost revolving loans from its U.S. Credit Agreement to fund this redemption.

In 1998,  the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized  the repurchase of up to
$60.0 million of its common  stock.  In 1999,  the Company's  Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to an additional $10.0 million of
its common stock, for a total of $70.0 million. As of June 30, 2000, the Company
had  repurchased  2,708,975  shares of its common stock for an aggregate cost of
approximately  $61.0  million.  The  Company  intends  to finance  future  share
repurchases,  if any,  through  revolving loan borrowings  under its U.S. Credit
Agreement or through internally generated funds.

Management  believes that cash  generated by operations and funds from revolving
loan borrowings under the Company's credit agreements will be sufficient to meet
the  Company's   expected   operating  needs,   planned  capital   expenditures,
investments in affiliate, debt service,  rationalization costs, share repurchase
plan and tax obligations for the foreseeable future.

The Company is continually evaluating and pursuing acquisition  opportunities in
the consumer goods packaging  market.  The Company intends to borrow  additional
revolving loans under its U.S. Credit Agreement to finance any such acquisitions
and to fund any resulting  increased operating needs.  However,  the Company may
need to incur additional new  indebtedness to finance any such  acquisitions and
to fund any resulting  increased operating needs. Any new financing will have to
be  effected  in  compliance   with  the  agreements   governing  the  Company's
indebtedness.  There  can be no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  be able to
complete any such acquisition or obtain any such new financing.

The  Company  is in  compliance  with  all  financial  and  operating  covenants
contained in the  instruments  and  agreements  governing its  indebtedness  and
believes  that it will  continue  to be in  compliance  with all such  covenants
during 2000.

Item 3.

         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
         ---------------------------------------------------------

Market risks relating to the Company's  operations result primarily from changes
in interest rates. The Company also has limited foreign currency risk associated
with its  Canadian  operations.  The Company  employs  established  policies and
procedures  to manage its  exposure to  fluctuations  in interest  rates and the
value of foreign currencies. Interest rate and foreign currency transactions are
used only to the extent considered  necessary to meet the Company's  objectives.
The Company does not utilize  derivative  financial  instruments  for trading or
other speculative purposes.
