                         PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED
                       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 Norwich Injection  Moulders  Limited ("Norwich") and Venture Packaging, Inc.
("Venture Packaging") 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 Norwich and the
historical  financial statements of Venture Packaging,  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 27, 1998 and the  condensed
statements of operations  give  effect  to  the  acquisitions  as  if  they had
occurred on December 29, 1996.  There are no pro forma condensed balance  sheet
adjustments  as  of  June  27, 1998 for the acquisition of Venture Packaging as
these adjustments are reflected in Holding's historical balances as of June 27,
1998.  There are no pro forma  condensed  consolidated  statement of operations
adjustments  for  the  six  months ended June 27, 1998 for the  acquisition  of
Venture  Packaging as the operations  of  Venture  Packaging  are  included  in
Holding's historical balances for the six months ended June 27, 1998.

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 Holding 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 27,
1997, with the audited consolidated financial  statements  and related notes of
Norwich  for  the  years  ended  October  31,  1997 and 1996 and the  unaudited
consolidated financial statements as of July 2,  1998  and  for the period from
November 1, 1997 to July 2, 1998 included in Form 8-K/A filed  on September 15,
1998,  and  with  Form 8-K/A filed on November 14, 1997 which provides  similar
information related to the acquisition of Venture Packaging.

and the historical balance sheet presented for Norwich is as of July 2, 1998.  
The  following  adjustments  reflect the acquisition of the common stock of 
Norwich and the repayment of the outstanding debt of Norwich on a pro forma 
basis  using  proceeds  from additional borrowings under Berry's credit 
facility.  The pro forma allocations to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed have been made using estimates by management.  The cost in excess of
net assets acquired will be amortized by the straight-line  method  over  a 
period of 15 years.
