                 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



Board of Directors
PackerWare Corporation
Lawrence, Kansas


   We  have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PACKERWARE CORPORATION as
of October  31,  1996,  and  the  related  statements  of  income,  changes  in
stockholders'  equity  and cash flows for the year 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 audit.

   We  conducted  our  audit  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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements  referred  to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of PACKERWARE  CORPORATION  as
of  October  31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the  year  then   ended   in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

   As discussed in Note 8, in 1996 the Company changed its method of accounting
for the Employee Stock Ownership  Plan  by retroactively restating prior years'
financial statements.

NOTE 1:   NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   The  Company  earns revenues primarily from  manufacturing  and  selling  of
various plastic products,  including  products for various retail organizations
and  certain containers for the food service  industry.   The  Company  extends
unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of business.

INVENTORY PRICING

   All inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates
cost determined  using  the  FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, or market.  The
Company provides an allowance for slow-moving inventory based on its experience
and annual product usage.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   Property and equipment are  depreciated  over  the  estimated useful life of
each asset.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over  the  shorter  of  the
lease  term  or  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  improvements.   Annual
depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods.

BOND ORIGINATION COSTS

   Bond  origination  costs are being amortized over the life of the underlying
bond issues using a method that approximates the interest method.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE

   The Company is partially  self-insured with respect to workers' compensation
insurance coverage.  Additionally, the Company purchases "excess" insurance for
workers' compensation coverage.   Currently  under  this policy, the Company is
liable for the first $175,000 on individual claims, not  to  exceed  an  annual
aggregate  amount of $521,200.  Also, the "excess" insurance policy has a total
annual aggregate coverage limit of $5,000,000.

INCOME TAXES

   Deferred  tax  liabilities  and assets are recognized for the tax effects of
differences  between  financial  statement   and   tax   bases  of  assets  and
liabilities.   A  valuation  allowance  is established to reduce  deferred  tax
assets if it is more likely than not that  a  deferred  tax  asset  will not be
realized.

<PAGE>


INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS

   Industrial  revenue  bonds,  upon  which  the  Company  is  obligated to pay
principal  and interest under lease obligations providing for the  transfer  of
ownership to  the  Company  upon the satisfaction of the bond obligations, have
been recorded as though the Company were the issuer of the bonds.

CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

   The  preparation  of  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.


NOTE 2:   RESTRICTED CASH DEPOSITS

   Included in restricted cash are the remaining  proceeds  from  the  March 1,
1993,  September  1,  1992 and  April 15, 1991, Industrial Revenue Bond issues,
which are restricted to  future equipment acquisition and funds escrowed toward
principal and interest payments  on  the  bonds.   Investment of the underlying
funds is directed by the Company.

        (A) Obligations issued by the City of Lawrence, Kansas; maturing
           serially through April 2002; the bond series outstanding are:
           Series  4/15/91  -  9.75%  to 10.10%; 10-year  bonds,  Series
           9/1/92 - 6.5% to 9%; Series  A,  3/1/93  - 6.3% to 9%; Series
           4/15/91  bonds  were  refinanced  and  paid in  full  through
           borrowings  described  in  (D) during 1996.   The  bonds  are
           collateralized by buildings and equipment.

        (B) Payable to finance company  and due 2002; payable in monthly
           installments  of  $29,540,  including   interest   at   9.7%;
           collateralized by equipment.

        (C)  Payable  to  stockholder  and due 1996; payable in variable
           monthly installments, including  interest  at  8%; unsecured;
           subordinated  to line of credit (F) and ESOP obligation  (SEE
           NOTE 8).  During 1995, the Company purchased 20,000 shares of
           outstanding common stock from the stockholder for $300,000 in
           exchange for the note payable.

        (D) Provides for borrowing up to $4,000,000 and $1,950,000 under
           separate  line-of-credit  agreements  pursuant  to  extension
           agreement;  due January 31, 1998, plus interest at prime plus
           1.5% and 2.5%,  respectively, payable monthly; collateralized
           by  substantially  all  of  the  Company's  assets;  requires
           maintenance of Company's primary cash accounts with the bank,
           maintenance   of   minimum  level  of  stockholders'  equity,
           restricts the purchase  and  disposition of certain assets or
           changes  in  corporate ownership  of  the  Company,  requires
           maintenance of  minimum  debt  service  coverage  and minimum
           levels of tangible net worth.

   In  connection with the change in control (SEE NOTE 12), all  of  the  above
debt was  paid  in full subsequent to year end and, therefore, is classified as
current in the accompanying balance sheet.

<PAGE>

NOTE 4:  LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

   On October 31,  1994, the Company sold property which represented collateral
on the Series 1993B  Revenue  Bonds.   The  net  proceeds  of $2,077,393 (after
payment of $512,607 in underwriting fees, taxes and other selling  costs)  were
used  to  purchase U.S. Government securities.  Those securities were deposited
in a trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments
on the 1993B  Series Bonds.  As a result, the 1993B Series Bonds are considered
to be defeased  and  the  liability  for those bonds amounting to $1,815,000 at
October 31, 1996 is not shown on the balance sheet.


NOTE 5:  OPERATING LEASES

   The  Company  has entered into several  noncancellable  leases  for  various
buildings and equipment.

   Future minimum  lease payments under these leases at October 31, 1996 are as

   Included in future  minimum  lease  payments  under noncancellable operating
leases  are  payments of $68,688 annually to the majority  stockholder  of  the
Company for rental  of  certain  buildings and equipment.  The leases expire in
1997 and 2002.

   All lease payments are charged  to  operations  as  incurred.   Total  rents
charged to operations under all operating leases were $471,773 for 1996.

   The  Company  has  available at October  31,  1996,  unused  operating  loss
carryforwards of approximately  $590,000  for  federal  income tax purposes and
$3,600,000 for state income tax purposes which expire in the years 2008 through
2010.   The Company also has alternative minimum tax credits  of  approximately
$590,000  available to offset future federal income taxes.  The credits have no
expiration date.


NOTE 7:  PROFIT SHARING PLAN

   The Company  has a profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees.
The Company's contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Board of
Directors.  Contributions  are  limited  to  the  maximum amount allowable as a
deduction under the Internal Revenue Code.  The contribution  to  the  plan for
the year ended October 31, 1996 was $78,300.


NOTE 8:  EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND RESTATEMENT OF
            PRIOR YEARS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The  Company  has  an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) to invest in  the
Company's common stock  for  the  benefit  of  eligible employees.  The Company
makes annual contributions to the plan as determined by the Board of Directors,
limited to 25% of eligible employee compensation,  plus  principal and interest
paid on the related debt.  Contributions to the plan were  $1,106,386  for  the
year ended October 31, 1996, including $448,000 which has been accounted for as
a  reduction in additional paid-in capital, and $530,000 in ESOP debt principal
reduction.   $640,000  has been accounted for as a reduction in unearned shares
in the stockholders' equity  section  of  the  accompanying balance sheet.  The
remaining contributions are reported in the accompanying  income  statement  as
compensation  expense of $192,000, included as components of operating expenses
and cost of goods sold, as well as interest expense of $576,386.

   In prior years,  the Company recorded ESOP expense as the amount contributed
to the plan for the year.   During  1996, the Company retroactively changed its
method of determining ESOP expense in  accordance  with  Statement  of Position
(SOP)   93-6,   EMPLOYERS'  ACCOUNTING  FOR  EMPLOYEE  STOCK  OWNERSHIP  PLANS.
Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as
collateral are reported  as  unearned  ESOP  shares  in  the balance sheet.  As
shares  are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation  expense
equal to  the  current  market  price of the shares.  Adjustments applicable to
1995 and prior, less income tax effects,  have  been  included in restated 1996
beginning  additional  paid-in  capital, retained earnings  and  unearned  ESOP
shares balances.  This change had  no  effect  on total beginning stockholders'
equity.
<PAGE>

NOTE 8:  EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN  AND RESTATEMENT OF
            PRIOR YEARS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (CONTINUED)

   Through an employee stock ownership trust (ESOT),  which  was established to
fund  the  ESOP,  250,000 shares of common stock were acquired for  $10,000,000
using the proceeds of a special-purpose bank loan to the ESOT.  The Company has
guaranteed the repayment  of  the  loan  to  the  ESOT.   Under  the  guarantee
agreement, the Company is obligated to make contributions to the ESOT to enable
it  to  make similar payments against the bank loan.  The loan is payable  over
ten years  with  varying  monthly installments of principal plus interest.  The
note bears interest at a base  rate  (8.25%  at October 31, 1996).  The Company
has pledged substantially all of its assets as  collateral  for  the ESOT loan.
The  loan  agreement also requires the Company to maintain a minimum  level  of
stockholders' equity,  restricts the purchase and disposition of certain assets
or changes in  corporate  ownership  of  the  Company,  requires maintenance of
minimum  debt  service  coverage and requires minimum levels  of  tangible  net
worth.   The  Company is in  technical  noncompliance  with  certain  covenants
contained in the  agreement;  however, this debt was paid in full subsequent to
year end and replaced with long-term  debt  in  connection  with  the change in
control (SEE NOTE 12).  For financial reporting purposes, the outstanding  ESOT
obligation  has been reflected as a liability with stockholders' equity reduced
by the unearned ESOP shares.

NOTE 9:  CONTINGENCIES

   There are  various  legal  proceedings  involving  the  Company.  Management
considers  that  the aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from  such  actions
would  not  have  a material  adverse  effect  on  the  financial  position  or
operations of the Company.

<PAGE>

NOTE 10:  STOCK OPTION PLAN

   During 1995, the  Company  adopted  a  stock  option  plan which permits the
issuance of options to selected employees and independent  contractors  of  the
Company.   The  plan  reserves  50,000  shares  of  common  stock for grant and
provides  that  the  term of each award be determined by the committee  of  the
Board of Directors (Committee) charged with administering the plan.

   Under the terms of  the  plan, options granted may be either nonqualified or
incentive stock options and the  exercise  price,  determined by the Committee,
may not be less than the fair market value of a share  on  the  date  of grant.
Incentive  stock  options  granted  to an optionee owning more than 10% of  the
voting power of all classes of the Company's  stock  will not be less than 110%
of the fair market value of such stock.  Options granted  under  the  plan  are
exercisable in installments determined by the Committee.

   At  October  31,  1996,  the  Company  had  15,000 options outstanding at an
exercise  price  of $12; 1,000 options are currently  exercisable;  and  35,000
options are available for grant.


NOTE 11:  SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND CONCENTRATIONS

   Generally accepted  accounting  principles require the disclosure of certain
significant   estimates   and   current   vulnerabilities    due   to   certain
concentrations.  Those matters include the following:

MAJOR CUSTOMER

   Approximately 22% of the Company's total revenue for the year  ended October
31,  1996  was  from  one  customer.   Additionally,  two  customers'  accounts
receivable  balances  amounted to approximately 28% of accounts receivable  for
the year ended October 31, 1996.

SELF INSURANCE

   The Company is partially  self-insured with respect to workers' compensation
insurance coverage.  The Company  accrues  the  expense  of covered claims plus
unasserted claims and unreported incidents occurring during  the  year based on
estimates of the probable total cost of any related claims.  Such estimates are
calculated by the Company's insurance agency and are based on the Company's own
claims experience.  Claim payments based on actual 1996 claims ultimately filed
could differ materially from these estimates.

RESERVE FOR SLOW-MOVING INVENTORY

   At October 31, 1996, the Company had inventory quantities that exceeded  the
Company's  current  year  sales  volume  for  certain products.  Management has
reduced the inventory carrying value by recording  an allowance of $316,170 and
developed plans to lower inventory levels for such items in the next year.  The
amount of ultimate loss could differ materially from management's estimates.

<PAGE>

NOTE 11:  SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND CONCENTRATIONS (CONTINUED)

ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

   The  Company  has  recorded an allowance for doubtful  accounts  related  to
accounts receivable of  $61,648  at October 31, 1996, which management believes
to be adequate based on information  currently  available.  However, the amount
ultimately collected could differ materially from the carrying amount reflected
in these financial statements.


NOTE 12:  CHANGE IN CONTROL

   During 1996, the Company's stockholders and its  Board of Directors approved
the sale of all of their stock ownership in the Company.   The  sale  closed on
January 21, 1997, and the related debt of the Company was refinanced with long-
term debt.  The amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet do not  reflect
any effect of the purchase price allocations which might be made by the buyer.

                            Notes to Balance Sheet

                               January 21, 1997


1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

PackerWare Corporation  (the  "Company")  manufactures various injection molded
plastic containers, drink cups, housewares,  and  lawn  and  garden products in
manufacturing facilities in Lawrence, Kansas and Reno, Nevada.   The  Company's
customers  are  located  principally  throughout  the  United  States  and  are
primarily comprised of retail organizations and companies operating in the food
service  industry.   Amounts  due  from  five  customers  comprised  36% of the
accounts receivable balance as of January 21, 1997.  The Company generally does
not require collateral and reviews accounts periodically for collectibility and
writes off accounts deemed uncollectible.

Various  densities  of plastic resin represent the most significant portion  of
the Company's raw materials.   The  Company  does  not  anticipate any material
difficulty in obtaining an uninterrupted supply of these  resins at competitive
prices  in  the  near  future.  However, should a significant shortage  of  the
supply of resin occur, both  the  price  and  availability of the principal raw
material  used  in  the manufacture of the Company's  products  could  lead  to
financial disruption to the Company.

PREPARATION OF BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet has  been  prepared as of January 21, 1997, immediately prior
to the closing of the acquisition  of the Company by Berry Plastics Corporation
(see Note 8).  Accordingly, the balance  sheet reflects the assets, liabilities
and stockholders' equity using the accounting  polices  of  the  Company  which
follow.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

All  highly  liquid  investments with a maturity of three months or less at the
date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued  at  the  lower  of cost (first in, first out method) or
market.


                            PackerWare Corporation

                      Notes to Balance Sheet (continued)




2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost.   Depreciation is computed primarily
by  the straight-line method over the estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets
ranging from 3 to 35 years.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation  of  the  balance  sheet  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to  make  estimates  and  assumptions
that  affect the amounts reported in the balance sheet and accompanying  notes.
Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

</TABLE>

The lines  of  credit  represent  borrowings of $4,000,000 and $1,390,667 under
separate line of credit arrangements with the same bank which permit borrowings
of up to $4,000,000 and $1,950,000, respectively.  Both loans mature on January
31, 1997 with interest which accrues  at  the  bank's  corporate base rate plus
1.5% (9.75% at January 21, 1997) and 2.5% (10.75% at January  21,  1997) on the
$4,000,000 and $1,950,000 loans, respectively.  The loans are collateralized by
security  agreements  which  cover  substantially  all of the Company's assets.
Amounts may be drawn on the loans subject to a borrowing  base described in the
security agreements.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

The amount due under industrial revenue bonds represents $970,000  and $685,000
balances on initial issuances of $4,000,000 and $1,500,000, respectively.   The
bonds  mature  serially  through  April  2003 with annual payments ranging from
$10,000 to $920,000 at interest rates ranging from 7.5% to 9.0%.  The bonds are
collateralized by specified buildings and equipment.

The  $1,230,590 note payable is the remaining  balance  on  a  $1,400,000  loan
payable  to  a  finance company.  The note, which accrues interest at 370 basis
points above the  current three month treasury yield (9.7% at January 21, 1997)
is payable in monthly installments of $29,540, including interest, with a final
payment due in March  2001.   The  note  is  collateralized  by  machinery  and
equipment  specified  in  a  security  agreement.   In addition, the Company is
required  to meet certain financial covenants.  As of  January  21,  1997,  the
Company is  in  violation  of  at  least  one of these covenants.  As such, all
amounts payable under this note have been classified as current.

The  note payable to stockholder, which was  due  December  31,  1996,  is  the
remaining  portion  of  a  $264,000  note  executed  July 1, 1995.  The note is
unsecured  and is subordinate to the lines of credit and  the  ESOP  obligation
(see Note 6).

The $113,726  note  payable  to  a finance company is the remaining portion due
under  a  $490,440  note which is collateralized  by  specified  machinery  and
equipment.   The  note,   which  requires  quarterly  installments  of  $24,522
including interest, bears interest at 6.6% and matures in April 1998.

The $26,311 note payable to  a  finance  company  is  the remaining portion due
under  a  $190,000 note which is collateralized by a security  agreement  which
specifies certain  machinery  and  equipment.  The note, which requires monthly
payments of $3,861 including interest,  bears  interest at 8.09% and matures in
August 1998.

6. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (CONTINUED)

Through an employee stock ownership trust (ESOT), which was established to fund
the ESOP, 250,000 shares of common stock  were  acquired  for $10,000,000 using
the proceeds of a bank loan the ESOT.  The Company has guaranteed the repayment
of  the loan to the ESOT.  Under this guarantee, the Company  is  obligated  to
make  contributions  to  the ESOT to enable it to make similar payments against
the bank loan.  The loan matures  on  January  31, 1997 and accrues interest at
the bank's base rate (8.25% on January 21, 1997)  and  is  collateralized  by a
security agreement which specifies the stock purchased by the ESOP.

The  Company  accounts  for  the  plan in accordance with Statement of Position
(SOP)  93-6, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR  EMPLOYEE  STOCK  OWNERSHIP  PLANS.   In
accordance with this statement, unearned shares are recorded as a contra-equity
account and are valued at their original cost.  Compensation expense 
is charged based on the fair value of shares when they are
released.  Any differences  between  the  historical  cost  and  fair  value of
released  shares  is  recorded as an increase or decrease to additional paid-in
capital.

The ESOP shares at January 21, 1997 are as follows:

                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


The   following  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  consolidated  statement   of
operations  and  condensed  consolidated  balance sheet (collectively, the "Pro
Forma Statements") give effect to the purchase  of the outstanding common stock
of  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 and historical financial statements of PackerWare, giving
effect to the  PackerWare  acquisition  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  statement  of
operations gives effect to  the  acquisition  as if it had occurred on December
31,  1995  and  the  pro  forma condensed balance sheet  gives  effect  to  the
acquisition as if it had occurred on December 28, 1996.

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  transaction  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 28,
1996, and with the financial statements and related notes of PackerWare for the

                          CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
The historical balance sheet presented for Holding is as of December 28, 1996, and the
historical balance sheet presented for PackerWare is as of October 31, 1996.
The following adjustments reflect the acquisition of the common stock of PackerWare, the effect
of the consolidation of PackerWare's Nevada operations, and the repayment of the outstanding
debt of PackerWare on a pro forma basis using proceeds from Berry's revolving credit facility.
The pro forma allocations to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been made using
estimates by management and may be adjusted to reflect fair values subsequently established as a
result of appraisals by a qualified appraiser.  The amount allocated to cost in excess of assets
acquired may be subsequently adjusted to reflect such appraisals, 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.
