                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders
CPI Holding, Inc. and Subsidiary

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CPI
Holding, Inc. and Subsidiary as of November 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of income, mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended November 30, 1998 and
1997 and for the period January 26, 1996 (Date of Acquisition) to November 30,
1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated
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 CPI Holding, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of November 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 and for the
period January 26, 1996 (Date of Acquisition) to November 30, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

        FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997 AND FOR THE PERIOD
           JANUARY 26, 1996 (DATE OF ACQUISITION) TO NOVEMBER 30, 1996

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION

   CPI Holding, Inc. ("CPI" or the "Company") was organized under the laws of
   the State of Delaware for the purpose of acquiring an injection molding
   manufacturer. On January 26, 1996, CPI acquired 100 percent of the common
   stock of Cardinal Packaging, Inc. ("Cardinal"). The Company, through its
   wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardinal, is a manufacturer of rigid thin-walled
   polyethylene and polypropylene containers and sells its products to customers
   located throughout the United States and Canada. The majority of the
   Company's products are used in the frozen dessert and refrigerated product
   industries in the form of premium round containers. In addition, the Company
   provides containers for selected industrial customers and seasonal retailers.
   The Company maintains ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
   generally does not require collateral. The Company provides reserves for
   potential credit losses and such losses historically have not exceeded
   management's estimates. The Company is headquartered in Streetsboro, Ohio.
   Additional manufacturing facilities are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and
   Ontario, California.

   CPI acquired, along with land and buildings previously owned by a related
   partnership, 70 percent of the common stock of Cardinal for $39,392,654,
   including acquisition costs. The remaining 30 percent of the common stock of
   Cardinal was acquired from the Cardinal Packaging, Inc. Employee Stock
   Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in exchange for 80,000 shares of CPI Class A
   redeemable preferred stock valued at $8,000,000. In addition, and in
   conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement to
   pay the sellers $2,460,000 (which includes imputed interest of $500,000) in
   monthly payments through January 2001 (see Note 5).

   The total purchase price, including acquisition costs, has been allocated to
   the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
   values, except for the portion related to the ESOP's ownership which is
   accounted for at historical costs, using the purchase method of accounting.
   In addition, goodwill was reduced by $745,000 because of the deferred tax
   asset recorded for the future tax benefits of the long service executive
   nonqualified pension payments (See Note 7). Accordingly, the amounts recorded
   for this acquisition were as follows:


   Current Assets, including $28,946 of cash ...............      $12,435,461
   Property ................................................       30,557,656
   Other assets ............................................        1,743,858
                                                                  -----------
         Total assets acquired .............................       44,736,975
   Liabilities assumed .....................................       11,355,378
                                                                  -----------
   Net assets acquired .....................................       33,381,597
   Goodwill ................................................       15,226,057
                                                                  -----------
   Total purchase price, including acquisition costs .......      $48,607,654
                                                                  ===========

   As a result of the acquisition in 1996, the inventory on January 26, 1996 was
   increased by $296,712 based on the fair market value of the acquired
   inventory at the date of acquisition. Cost of sales for the period January
   26, 1996 (date of acquisition) to November 30, 1996 includes $296,712 related
   to this adjustment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION--The consolidated financial statements
   include the accounts of CPI and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant
   intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

   USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 as of the
   financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
   for the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

   REVENUE RECOGNITION--Sales and cost of sales are recognized upon shipment of
   product.

   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers all highly liquid
   investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased,
   to be cash equivalents.

   INVENTORIES--Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in,
   first-out basis, or market. Inventories consist of the following at November
   30:

                                               1998                 1997
                                            -----------          -----------
      Raw materials...................      $ 2,433,849          $ 1,700,765
      Finished Good...................        5,119,278            6,177,393
                                            -----------          -----------
      Total...........................      $ 7,553,127          $ 7,878,158
                                            ===========          ===========

   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--Property and equipment is stated at cost. Additions,
   renewals and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs, which do
   not extend the useful life of the asset, are expensed as incurred.
   Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
   useful lives of the assets, which range from ten to 40 years for buildings,
   related building improvements and leasehold improvements, 12 to 15 years for
   manufacturing machinery and equipment, seven years for molds, five years for
   office furniture and fixtures, and three years for vehicles. Equipment under
   capitalized leases is amortized over the terms of the leases, which do not
   exceed the estimated useful life of the leased equipment.

   GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS--The Company's intangible assets consist of
   goodwill, deferred financing costs, and patent costs. Amortization is
   recorded over the estimated economic lives. Goodwill is amortized over 40
   years. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related
   loans with the amortization included in interest expense. Patent costs are
   amortized over 17 years, beginning when the patent approval is obtained.

   The Company evaluates the unamortized cost of these intangible assets to
   determine if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount and to record
   an impairment loss, if necessary. This determination is based on an
   evaluation of such factors as the occurrence of a significant event, a
   significant change in the environment in which the business operates or,
   primarily for goodwill, the expected undiscounted future net cash flows.

<PAGE>
   INCOME TAXES--Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future
   tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial
   statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
   based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of
   various assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the year in
   which the differences are expected to reverse.

   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--In 1998, Cardinal adopted Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
   Income," SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
   Related Information," and SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
   Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". SFAS No. 130 established
   standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
   components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No.
   131 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and
   descriptive information about its reportable operating segments such as a
   measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense
   items, and segment assets. SFAS No. 132 standardized the disclosure
   requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The adoption of
   these statements did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
   statements.

   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
   No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
   statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
   instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
   contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal
   quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has not
   completed its evaluation of this statement but does not anticipate a material

8. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

   In 1988, Cardinal established an employee stock ownership plan. On December
   14, 1989, the ESOP used $1,800,000 of proceeds from a bank loan to purchase
   30 percent of Cardinal's common stock. In conjunction with the acquisition of
   Cardinal by CPI in which the ESOP exchanged its 30 percent investment in
   Cardinal for a 22 percent investment in CPI, the Company assumed the
   remaining bank obligation of $720,000 at January 26, 1996. As of November 30,
   1998, $113,912 remains outstanding on this loan. As a result of the Company
   assuming the bank obligation, the Company also recorded a loan receivable
   from the ESOP, which is reported as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The
   Company is obligated to make contributions to the ESOP that are used by the
   ESOP to pay the loan principal and interest to the bank. Shares of stock
   acquired by the ESOP are allocated to each eligible employee in amounts based
   on the employee's compensation. Company contributions charged to expense were
   $26,720 in 1998, $30,999 in 1997 and $209,780 for the period January 26, 1996
   to November 30, 1996. The Company paid Class A preferred dividends of
   $700,000 in 1998 and $943,559 in 1997 to the ESOP. The ESOP used a portion of
   the dividends to make the required principal payments.

   100,000 nonvoting shares of Class A redeemable preferred stock and 100,000
   non-voting shares of Class B redeemable preferred stock, each with a par
   value of $.01 per share. There are 80,000 shares of Class A redeemable
   preferred stock outstanding as of November 30, 1998 and 1997. There are
   60,966.69 shares of Class B redeemable preferred stock outstanding as of
   November 30, 1998 and 61,133.36 shares outstanding as of November 30, 1997,
   including 866.68 shares issued under Executive Stock Agreements described in
   Note 10. Accumulating dividends accrue daily at 8.75 percent of the
   liquidation value ($100 per share) plus any accumulated dividends on the
   Class A redeemable preferred stock. Accumulating dividends accrue at 10
   percent of the liquidation value ($100 per share) plus any accumulated
   dividends on the Class B redeemable preferred stock. Unpaid accumulating
   dividends are deemed to be accumulated dividends for purposes of calculating
   the accumulating and nonaccumulating dividends. Nonaccumulating dividends
   accrue daily at 10 percent of the liquidation value plus any accumulated
   dividends on the Class A redeemable preferred stock only. Unpaid
   nonaccumulating dividends are not deemed to be accumulated dividends for
   purposes of calculating the accumulating and nonaccumulating dividends.
   Accumulating dividends were $1,483,077 for the year ended November 30, 1998
   and $1,385,329 for the year ended November 30, 1997. The nonaccumulating
   dividends were $827,613 for the year ended November 30, 1998 and $830,544 for
   the year ended November 30, 1997. These amounts have been recorded as an
   increase in the redeemable preferred stock and as a reduction of retained
   earnings and of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated
   statements of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and shareholders'
   equity. As of November 30, 1998, the unpaid accumulating dividends were
   $2,331,161 and the unpaid nonaccumulating dividends were $2,331,864.

   On June 30, 2003, the Company shall redeem all outstanding shares of the
   Class A and Class B redeemable preferred stock for the aggregate liquidation
   value plus all unpaid dividends. The aggregate liquidation value and unpaid
   dividends of the Class A and Class B redeemable preferred stock is
   $18,761,668 as of November 30, 1998 and $17,171,325 as of November 30, 1997.

   The Class A redeemable preferred stock is convertible at the shareholders'
   option into Class A common stock at any time based on the liquidation value
   of the shares to be converted at the then current conversion price.


10. COMMON STOCK

   The authorized shares of stock and the number of shares outstanding as of
   November 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

   COMMON STOCK--The Company has three classes of common stock of which Class A
   is voting and Class B and C are non-voting.

   Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to convert such shares into the
   same number of shares of Class A or Class C common stock at any time.

   Holders of Class C common stock are entitled to convert such shares into the
   same number of shares of Class A common stock upon the occurrence of a
   Conversion Event as defined in the Company's Certificate of Amendment to
   Certificate of Incorporation. Class C common stock includes 4,333.2 shares
   issued under Executive Stock Agreements described below, as of November 30,
   1998 and 1997.

<PAGE>
   EXECUTIVE STOCK AGREEMENTS--The Company has entered into agreements with
   certain members of its management under which shares of Class B redeemable
   preferred stock and Class C common stock have been issued. The Company has
   notes receivable aggregating $65,000 from manager shareholders for the
   purchase of one-half of their shares at November 30, 1998 and 1997. These
   notes bear interest at 8.25 percent a year and are reported as stock
   subscriptions receivable as a reduction of shareholders' equity. One-half of
   the shares of common stock and one-half of the shares of redeemable preferred
   stock vest immediately and the remaining shares vest upon the payment in full
   of the receivables plus any accrued interest. In the event a shareholder
   manager ceases to be employed by the Company, the Company and certain
   shareholders have the right to repurchase all or a portion of these shares
   from the individual at the fair value of the vested shares and the lower of
   the fair value of shares or the original cost of the unvested shares held as
   of the date of termination.

The historical balance sheet presented for Holding is as of July 3, 1999, and
the historical balance sheet presented for CPI Holding is as of July 6, 1999.
The following adjustments reflect the acquisition of the common stock of CPI
Holding and the repayment of the outstanding debt of CPI Holding on a pro forma
basis using proceeds from the issuance of $75 million of 11% senior subordinated
notes by Berry. The pro forma allocations to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed have been made using estimates by management and may be adjusted
subsequently. The amount allocated to cost in excess of assets acquired may be
subsequently adjusted but any such adjustment is not expected to be material.
The cost in excess of net assets acquired will be amortized by the straight-line
method over a period of 15 years. (a) Adjustment to property and equipment, net:
