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.

VENTURE PACKAGING, INC.


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995


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.

    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.

The  unaudited  consolidated financial statements of Venture Packaging, Inc. as

                       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.

The  historical  balance  sheet presented for Holding is as of June 28, 1997, and the historical balance sheet presented for
Venture Packaging is as of August  29,  1997 (the acquisition date).  The following  adjustments  reflect the acquisition of
the common stock of Venture Packaging and the repayment of the outstanding debt of Venture Packaging  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.


(a)  Adjustments of certain assets and liabilities purchased:
