INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Venture Packaging, Inc.
Monroeville, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Venture
Packaging, Inc. as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and retained earnings, and of cash flows for the years
then ended. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 1996
and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Venture Packaging, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a
manufacturer of molded plastic products, primarily food storage containers.
The Company operates plants located in Monroeville, Ohio and Anderson,
South Carolina, and a printing and distribution facility in Chesapeake,
Virginia. The Company sells its products to customers nationwide, which
operate primarily in food processing industries.
To better align its corporate structure with its future growth plans,
Venture Packaging, Inc., an Ohio corporation, reincorporated in the state
of Delaware through an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization
effective October 1, 1995. The objective of the reincorporation was to
establish a Delaware holding company with two separate operating
subsidiaries for the Midwest and Southeast divisions.
To accomplish the corporate reorganization, Venture Packaging, Inc., an
Ohio corporation, formed the following subsidiaries: Venture Packaging
Southeast, Inc., a South Carolina corporation; Venture Packaging Midwest,
Inc., an Ohio corporation; and Venture Packaging, Inc., a Delaware
corporation. Effective October 1, 1995, substantially all of the Midwest
division assets were assigned to Venture Packaging Midwest, Inc., and
substantially all of the Southeast division assets were assigned to Venture
Packaging Southeast, Inc. Subsequently, Venture Packaging, Inc., the Ohio
corporation was merged with and into Venture Packaging, Inc., the Delaware
corporation.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Venture Packaging, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Venture
Packaging Southeast, Inc. and Venture Packaging Midwest, Inc. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
PROPERTY - Property is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS - Restricted investments represent proceeds from
Industrial Development Bonds (see Note 5) invested in short-term
repurchase agreements, the use of which is restricted to certain capital
expenditures and related costs under the terms of the loan agreement.
DEFERRED REVENUE - Deferred revenue relates to government grant revenues
and is being amortized over ten years.
<PAGE>
NET INCOME PER SHARE - Net income per share has been computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of capital stock
outstanding during the period.

respectively, consists of amounts outstanding under a $10,000,000 line of
credit agreement which currently matures December 31, 1996. Interest is
payable monthly at a rate which approximates the bank's prime lending rate.

============= =============
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
The Industrial Development Bonds are to be repaid in semi-annual
installments through April 1, 2010 with a final balloon payment of
$945,000. Interest is payable quarterly. The bonds have a variable
interest rate, which averaged 3.78% and 4.13% during fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The interest rate can not exceed 10%. The Company can make
an irrevocable election to convert the interest rate to a fixed rate. The
bondholders may redeem the bonds at their option while the bonds bear
interest at a variable rate; however, the bonds are classified as non-
current due to a remarketing agreement and credit facilities, which permit
the Company to extend the payment for several years. The Company also has
the option to call the bonds.
The bank term loans are to be repaid in equal monthly installments of
principal plus interest. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime
lending rate.
The total aggregate principal payments applicable to all long-term debt at
September 30, 1996 is due as follows:

The credit agreements require, among other things, the maintenance of
minimum tangible net worth, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio, a
minimum debt service coverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio.
The agreements also limit other secured borrowings and the annual amount of
capital expenditures and dividends. The credit agreements are secured by
accounts receivable, inventories, and certain equipment, land and
buildings.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and pro
forma condensed consolidated statements of operations (collectively, the "Pro
Forma Statements") give effect to the purchase of the outstanding common stock
of Venture Packaging, Inc. ("Venture Packaging") and PackerWare Corporation
("PackerWare") by Berry Plastics Corporation ("Berry"). Berry is a wholly
owned subsidiary of BPC Holding Corporation ("Holding").
The pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated financial
statements of Holding, the historical financial statements of Venture Packaging
and the historical financial statements of PackerWare, giving effect to the
acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and
adjustments in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements. The pro forma condensed balance sheet gives effect to
the acquisitions as if they had occurred on June 28, 1997 and the condensed
statements of operations give effect to the acquisitions as if they had
occurred on December 31, 1995. There are no pro forma condensed balance sheet
adjustments as of June 28, 1997 for the acquisition of PackerWare as these
adjustments are reflected in Holding's historical balances as of June 28, 1997.
There are no pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
adjustments for the six months ended June 28, 1997 for the acquisition of
PackerWare as the operations of PackerWare are included in Holding's historical
balances from January 22, 1997 through June 28, 1997. PackerWare's operations
from December 29, 1996 through January 21, 1997 (the date of the PackerWare
acquisition)have been determined to be immaterial by management.
The Pro Forma Statements do not purport to represent what Holding's
consolidated financial position or results of operations would actually have
been if such transactions had in fact occurred on such dates or to project
Holding's consolidated financial position or results of operations for any
future date or period. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available
information and upon assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. The
Pro Forma Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with
the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Holding
included within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28,
1996, with the unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and
related notes of Holding included within its periodic reports on Form 10Q for
the year ending December 27, 1997, with the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes of Venture Packaging for the years ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of
August 29, 1997 and for the period from October 1, 1996 to August 29, 1997
included in this Form 8-K/A, and with Form 8-K/A filed on April 7, 1997 which
provides similar information related to the acquisition of PackerWare.
