Item 7 (a)        Financial statements of businesses acquired.

         (1)      Audited  consolidated  financial   statements  of  Ball  Glass
                  Container  Corporation  and   subsidiary  for  the years ended
                  December 31, 1994 and 1993

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of Ball Corporation:

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income (loss), of changes in shareholder's equity and
of cash flows present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position
of  Ball  Glass  Container  Corporation  (a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Ball
Corporation)  and its  subsidiary at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results
of their  operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting  principles.  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 of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which 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,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated  financial  statements,  in 1993  the
company adopted the provisions of Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
No.  106,  "Employers'  Accounting  for   Postretirement   Benefits  other  than
Pensions,"  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income  Taxes"  and  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."

                    BALL GLASS CONTAINER CORPORATION
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993


Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation
As of December 31, 1994, Ball Glass Container  Corporation  (the "Company")  was
a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Ball  Corporation  (Ball).  These  consolidated
financial  statements  of the Company have been  prepared on a separate  company
basis. See Note 6, "Related Party Transactions."

Consolidation
The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its 51% owned  subsidiary,  Madera Glass  Company.  All  significant
intercompany   amounts   between  the  Company  and  Madera  are  eliminated  in
consolidation.

Temporary Investments
Temporary investments are considered cash equivalents if original maturities are
three months or less.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Revenue from the sales of finished  goods is recognized at the time of shipment.
Accounts  receivable  at  December  31,  1994 and 1993 are net of  reserves  for
uncollectible amounts of $2.28 million and $1.11 million, respectively.

In September  1993, Ball entered into an agreement to sell, on a revolving basis
without recourse,  an undivided  percentage  ownership  interest in a designated
pool of up to $75.00 million of packaging trade accounts receivable. The current
agreement  expires in December 1995. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, a net amount
of  approximately  $16.6 million and $18.0 million of accounts  receivable  sold
under this  program was  allocated  to Ball Glass  Container  Corporation  based
accounts  receivable.  This  reduction  has not been  reflected in the Company's
accounts receivable balance for the years included in these statements.

Inventories
Finished  goods  inventories  are stated at the lower of cost or net  realizable
value,  cost being  determined  on the  first-in,  first-out  method.  All other
inventories are stated at average cost.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is provided on the  straight-line  method in amounts  sufficient to
amortize  the  cost of  properties  over  their  estimated  useful  lives  (land
improvements and buildings -- 15 to 50 years; machinery and equipment -- 2 to 20
years).  Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 was
$43.65 million and $38.94 million, respectively.

Goodwill is amortized over the periods  benefited,  generally 40 years.  For the
years ended  December  31, 1994 and 1993,  amortization  expense  totaled  $2.01
million  and  $2.10  million,  respectively.  At  December  31,  1994 and  1993,
accumulated amortization was $9.89 million and $7.88 million, respectively.

Company Owned Life Insurance
The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of certain employees.  Premiums
were approximately  $2.63 million and $2.66 million for the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  The Company borrowed $10.24 million and $7.68
million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,  respectively,  from the accumulated cash
value of the policies.  The policies are issued by The Hartford  Life  Insurance
Company.

Taxes on Income
The  Company is party to a tax-sharing  agreement  with Ball and is included  in
Ball's  consolidated  federal  tax return.  Madera files a  separate federal tax
return. For purposes of these  consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company
records income taxes on a  separate-company  basis,  following the provisions of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,  "Accounting for
Income Taxes".  SFAS No. 109 was adopted by Ball effective  January 1, 1993, and
this separate-company presentation of the Company likewise reflects the adoption
effective  January 1, 1993.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 109, Ball and the
Company  accounted  for  income  taxes  under the  provisions  of SFAS No. 96, a
predecessor  standard  to SFAS  No.  109.  In the  Company's  circumstances  the
accounting under SFAS No. 96 and SFAS No. 109 was similar, and as such, adoption
of SFAS No. 109 had no effect upon the 1993  provision for income tax benefit or
on the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.

Under SFAS No. 109,  deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequence of
differences  between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial
reporting amounts at each balance sheet date based upon enacted tax laws and tax
rates.  Income tax expense or benefit is provided based on earnings  reported in
the  financial  statements.  The  provision  for income  tax  expense or benefit
differs from the amounts of income taxes currently payable or receivable because
certain  items of income and  expense  included  in the  consolidated  financial
statements are recognized in different time periods by taxing authorities.

Pension Costs
The Company's employees  participate in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored
by Ball. The Company accounts for this plan as participation in a multi-employer
plan and  recognizes  pension  expense  based on amounts  allocated  by Ball for
continued  participation  in the plan.  This expense  allocation  is based on an
actuarial  estimate of the annual  service and interest  cost for the  Company's
covered  employees   prepared  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  87,  "Employers'
Accounting for Pensions" and an allocation of the  amortization of prior service
cost, gains or losses and the return on plan assets.

Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
Effective  January 1, 1993, the Company  adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106,
"Employers'  Accounting for  Postretirement  Benefits Other Than  Pensions," and
SFAS   No.   112,   "Employers'   Accounting   for   Postemployment   Benefits."
Postretirement  benefit costs subsequent to the change in accounting  principles
are accrued on an  actuarial  basis over the period from the date of hire to the
date of full  eligibility for employees and covered  dependents who are expected
to qualify for such  benefits.  Postemployment  benefits  are accrued when it is
determined that a liability has been incurred.  Previously,  postretirement  and
postemployment benefit costs were recognized as claims were paid or incurred.

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
The fair  value of  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable  and other  current
liabilities  approximates their carrying value due to the short-term  maturities
of these instruments.  The fair value of long term debt was approximately $62.80
million and $91.12  million at December  31, 1994 and 1993  (carrying  values of
$60.00 million and $81.25 million),  respectively, and was estimated using rates
currently  available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.
Concentrations  of credit risk with respect to accounts  receivable  are limited
due to the  relatively  large  number  of  customers  comprising  the  Company's
customer  base.  For the years ended  December  31,  1994 and 1993,  no customer
accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with terms ranging from
three months to one year in order to hedge the  commodity  price risk of natural
gas and does not hold or issue financial  instruments for trading purposes.  The
impact of using these derivatives was not material.

Investment By and Advances from Ball Corporation
Ball maintains a centralized cash management  system and  substantially all cash
receipts and  disbursements  are recorded at the corporate level. The Company is
charged or credited for the net of cash receipts, cash disbursements,  and other
corporate charges each month.  Interest is charged on a portion of this balance,
and interest  expense for the years ended  December  31, 1994 and 1993  includes
$3.66 million and $2.09 million,  respectively,  of interest charged the Company
by Ball on a portion of the outstanding balances.

</TABLE>

In 1993 the  Company  prepaid  $20.00  million  of  9.05%  serial  senior  notes
originally  due April 30,  1994.  Serial  senior  notes in the  amount of $20.00
million continue to be classified as current based upon the Company's  intention
to repay that amount in each succeeding year. Additionally,  in 1994 the Company
prepaid  $1.25  million of the Madera  variable  rate term loan  originally  due
January 15, 1999.  For the years ended  December 31, 1994 and 1993,  the Company
paid $6.71  million and $9.45  million,  respectively,  of interest to unrelated
third parties.

The serial senior notes  agreement  contains  certain  guarantees  and financial
covenants,  the more  significant of which include current ratio,  net worth and
interest coverage  requirements,  and limitations on other borrowings and liens,
acquisitions and the sale of assets.

Note 4 - Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Pension Benefits
The Company's employees  participate in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored
by Ball. The Company's contributions to Ball for continued participation in this
plan were $8.97 million and $7.19 million for the years ended  December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
The  Company  provides  retirement  health care and life  insurance  benefits to
certain groups of employees.  In addition,  employees may become eligible,  upon
termination of active employment prior to retirement,  for long-term disability,
medical and life insurance continuation and other postemployment benefits. These
benefit  obligations  are unfunded  and,  with the  exception of life  insurance
benefits, are self-insured.

Effective January 1, 1993,  the Company adopted two new accounting standards for
these  benefit  costs,  SFAS No. 106,  "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits  Other Than  Pensions,"  and SFAS No. 112,  "Employers'  Accounting for
Postemployment  Benefits."  SFAS No. 106 requires that the  Company's  estimated
postretirement benefit obligations be accrued by the dates at which participants
attain  eligibility  for  benefits.  Similarly,  SFAS No. 112  mandates  accrual
accounting for postemployment benefits.

Postretirement Medical and Life Insurance Benefits
Postretirement  health care  benefits are provided to  substantially  all of the
Company's  salaried employees and hourly employees who are members of the AFGW&U
union. Most domestic salaried employees who retired prior to 1993 are covered by
contributory  medical plans with capped lifetime  benefits.  Employees  retiring
after  January 1, 1993 are provided a fixed  subsidy by the Company  toward each
retiree's  future  purchase of medical  insurance.  Life insurance  benefits are
noncontributory.  Hourly employees  belonging to the AFGW&U union are covered by
noncontributory plans with capped lifetime benefits.  Hourly employees belonging
to the GMP union are covered by the collective bargaining agreement, under which
the Company contributes to a multi-employer health and welfare plan. The Company
has  no  commitments  to  increase  monetary  benefits  provided  by  any of the
postretirement benefit programs.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 106, the Company  elected  immediate
recognition  of the  previously  unrecognized  transition  obligation  through a
pretax, noncash charge to earnings as of January 1, 1993 in the amount of $16.52
million  ($9.99  million  after tax).  The  accumulated  postretirement  benefit
obligation ("APBO") represents,  at the date of adoption, the full liability for
postretirement  benefits  expected to be paid with respect to retirees and a pro
rata  portion  of the  benefits  expected  to be paid  with  respect  to  active
employees.

The incremental  expense in 1993 resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 106 was
approximately $1.13 million,  excluding the effect of the transition  obligation
which was  recognized as the  cumulative  effect on prior years of the change in
accounting.  Contributions to multi-employer  plans were $3.99 million and $3.47
million for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The assumed  discount rate used to measure the APBO was changed from 7.50% as of
December 31, 1993 to 8.75% as of December 31, 1994, resulting in the decrease in
the APBO.  The health  care cost trend rate used to value the APBO is assumed to
decline to 6% after the year 2001. A one percentage point increase in the health
care cost trend rate would increase the APBO as of December 31, 1994 and the sum
of the  service  and  interest  costs for the year ended  December  31,  1994 by
$820,000 and $100,000, respectively.

Other Postemployment Benefits
The Company  elected early  adoption of SFAS No. 112 and,  effective  January 1,
1993,  recorded a noncash,  pretax charge of $2.20 million  ($1.33 million after
tax) to recognize the cumulative effect on prior years. Excluding the cumulative
effect on prior  years,  the annual cost for SFAS No. 112 was $1.63  million and
$970,000  for the years  ended  December  31, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  The
incremental  expense in 1993  resulting  from the  adoption  of SFAS No. 112 was
approximately $394,000,  excluding the effect of the transition obligation which
was  recognized  as the  cumulative  effect  on  prior  years of the  change  in
accounting.

Other Benefit Plans
Substantially   all  domestic   salaried   employees   who   participate   in  a
Ball-sponsored  401(k)  salary  conversion  plan  and meet  certain  eligibility
requirements  automatically  participate  in  a  Ball-sponsored  employee  stock
ownership plan ("ESOP"). Compensation expense charged by Ball to the Company for
the Company's  proportionate  share of the ESOP's cost was $228,000 and $209,000
for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  Interest expense
related to the ESOP was $299,000 and $304,000 for the same respective years.

Note 5 - Restructuring
- ----------------------

In late 1993  plans  were  developed  to  undertake  a number  of  restructuring
actions, which included the elimination of excess manufacturing capacity through
plant closures and consolidations and certain administrative consolidations.  In
connection  therewith,  pretax restructuring and other charges of $51.40 million
were recorded in the fourth quarter of 1993. A summary of these charges  follows
(in thousands):

Asset write-off and write-downs to net
  realizable values                         $22,483

Employment  costs and  termination  benefits  include  the effects of work force
reductions  and pension  curtailment  losses of $6.20  million.  Other  includes
incremental  costs  associated with the planned phaseout of the facilities to be
closed.

Included in assets are  write-offs  of and  write-downs  of property,  plant and
equipment to net realizable value and the write-off of other deferred costs. The
net book values of the property,  plant and equipment  related to the facilities
expected to be closed was  approximately  $22  million  (before  write-down)  at
December 31, 1993, and did not change  significantly  at December 31, 1994. This
amount  is  included  in  the  property,  plant  and  equipment  caption  of the
consolidated  balance sheet.  Employment  costs and termination  benefits due to
work  force  reductions  that are  expected  to be paid out  within one year are
reflected in current liabilities. Liabilities resulting from pension curtailment
losses are  likewise  included in current  liabilities  and are  reflected  as a
noncash item in 1993 as these  amounts  represent an  intercompany  liability to
Ball,  which as sponsor of the  affected  multi-employer  plan has  recorded the
additional non-current liability related to the curtailment.

Non-current liability includes the employment related  costs associated with the
closure of one facility  that are not  expected to be paid within the next year.
Payments  made in 1994 were made by Ball and  reflected  as  increases in Ball's
investment in and advances to the Company.  Of the total  restructuring reserves
outstanding  at  December 31, 1994,  $19.5 million  will  not impact future cash
flows, apart from related tax benefits, of either the Company or Ball.

Note 6 - Related Party Transactions
- -----------------------------------

The Company has extensive  transactions and relationships with Ball.  Generally,
direct transactions and allocations between the Company and Ball are recorded at
cost. During the normal course of business,  Ball makes  disbursements on behalf
of the Company  which  directly  relate to the  operations  of the Company.  The
Company also  participates  in  Ball-sponsored  programs for which it receives a
direct  charge  from  Ball  representing  its  proportional  share of the  costs
incurred.  For the periods presented,  operating expenses include charges for an
allocation  of  certain  corporate  expenses  from  Ball  representing   general
management and other administrative services.  Management believes the foregoing
allocations  were  made  on a  reasonable  basis.  However,  the  aforementioned
transactions  may not reflect the costs and revenues which would be derived from
transactions  between  unrelated  entities.  The  following  is a summary of the
nature and amount of expenses incurred by Ball which were charged to the Company
for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in thousands):

The Company supplied bottles to Heublein,  the Madera minority  shareholder,  in
accordance with a renewable  supply contract with an initial  expiration date of
December 1, 1996.  For the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company's
sales to  Heublein  and its  affiliates  aggregated  $36.83  million  and $41.75
million,  respectively. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, Heublein owed the Company
$2.59 million and $1.51 million, respectively.

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
- --------------------------------------

Leases
Noncancellable  operating  leases of the Company in effect at December  31, 1994
require rental payments over the next five years approximating (in thousands):

            1995                      $5,600
            1996                      $2,400
            1997                      $2,100
            1998                      $1,700
            1999                      $1,400
            Thereafter                $3,100

The 1995  aggregate  minimum  lease  payments  have not been  reduced by minimum
sublease income of $160,000. Certain of the leases contain renegotiation clauses
which  provide for  periodic  adjustments  to the  payments.  In 1994 Ball Glass
entered  into a 10 year  non-cancelable  warehouse  lease  with  monthly  rental
payments of  approximately  $130,000,  the start date of which is dependent upon
the completion of the third party  warehouse,  which is expected to occur in the
fourth quarter of 1995. Net lease expense for the Company was $21.74 million and
$19.62 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Environmental
The U.S.  Environmental  Protection  Agency  has  designated  the  Company  as a
potentially  responsible  party,  along with numerous other  companies,  for the
cleanup of certain  hazardous  waste  sites.  Information  at this time does not
indicate that the  disposition  of these or any legal matters the Company may be
involved  in will have a material,  adverse  effect  upon  financial  condition,
results of operations, cash flows or competitive position of the Company.

Note 8 - Subsequent Event
- -------------------------

On September 15, 1995, Ball sold  substantially all of the assets of the Company
to  Ball-Foster  Glass  Container  Corporation  (Ball-Foster),  a  newly  formed
Delaware  limited  liability  company,   for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of
approximately  $323.00  million  in  cash,  subject  to  adjustment  in  certain
circumstances.   In  connection   with  the   disposition,   a  pretax  loss  of
approximately  $113.33  million was recorded in 1995. In  conjunction  with this
sale, Ball acquired for cash a 42 percent  interest in  Ball-Foster,  which also
acquired  the glass  business  of Foster-  Forbes  Glass  Division  of  American
National Can.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Millions of dollars unless otherwise noted)

1.  General.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures,  including
significant  accounting  policies,  normally  included in  financial  statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed  or omitted.  However,  management  of the Company  believes  that the
financial  statements  reflect all  adjustments  which are  necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods.  Results of operations for the
periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared  on  a  basis  consistent  with  the  audited  consolidated   financial
statements  for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.  Accordingly,  these
financial statements exclude the effects of the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the glass  container  manufacturing  business of Ball Glass  Container
Corporation to Ball-Foster  Glass Container  Corporation.  Such excluded effects
are  comprised  of the  writedown of assets to the net  realized  value,  losses
realized and costs incurred in connection with the disposition.  It is suggested
that  these   unaudited   condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  and
accompanying  notes  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  audited  consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1993.

income and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the  Foster-Forbes  Glass Division (the  "Division"),  a division of
American National Can Company, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of
its  operations  and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.  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 of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which 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,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 2 to the  financial  statements,  the Division  changed its
method of accounting for postemployment  benefits in 1994 and for postretirement
benefits in 1993. Also, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,  the
Division  changed its method of  evaluating  the  recoverability  of goodwill in
1994.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             (Dollars in thousands)


Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
- -----------------------------------------------

Foster-Forbes Glass Division (the "Division") is a division of American National
Can Company ("ANC") which is an indirect  majority-owned  subsidiary of Pechiney
Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation.  Pechiney  Corporation  is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pechiney International S.A., which is a majority-owned  subsidiary
of Pechiney S.A., a French corporation.

ANC,  including  the  operations  of the  Division,  was  acquired  by  Pechiney
Corporation on December 31, 1988. As a result of the  acquisition,  the tangible
assets and  liabilities of the Division were adjusted to their fair values as of
the date of  acquisition  and an  allocated  portion of the  purchase  price and
related expenses incurred by Pechiney  Corporation to acquire ANC, together with
the resultant  goodwill related to the Division and amortization  thereof,  have
been pushed down to the Division's financial statements.

The  accompanying   financial  statements  reflect  the  "carve-out"   financial
position,  results of operations  and cash flows of the Division for the periods
presented.  The  financial  information  included  herein  does not  necessarily
reflect what the  financial  position and results of  operations of the Division
would  have been had it  operated  as a stand  alone  entity  during  the period
covered, and may not be indicative of future operations or financial position.


Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped.

Financial Instruments
- ---------------------

The  carrying  value  of  the  Division's   financial   instruments,   primarily
receivables and payables, generally approximates fair value.

Inventories
- -----------

Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost or market.  The cost of 76% and 74%
of  inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993,  respectively,  was determined by
the last-in,  first-out  (LIFO) method.  The cost of all other  inventories  was
determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
- ----------------------------------------

Investments  in  unconsolidated  affiliates  are  accounted for using the equity
method.  These investments comprise a 50% interest in Tropicana Industrial Glass
Company  (the  "Tropicana  Joint  Venture"),  a  joint  venture  with  Tropicana
Products,  Inc., a 50% interest in Heye America,  L.P. ("Heye"), a joint venture
with Hermann Heye KG of Germany,  and a 23% interest in Trona Company ("Trona"),
a joint venture with General Chemical Corporation.

Property, Plant and Equipment
- -----------------------------

Property,  plant and equipment is stated at cost (as adjusted in connection with
the acquisition of ANC by Pechiney  Corporation)  including interest incurred on
funds  borrowed  during  the  period  that major  items are  prepared  for their
intended use.  Capitalized  leases are stated at the lesser of the present value
of future  minimum  lease  payments  or the fair value of the  leased  property.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method.

During 1994,  the Division  performed a study of the economic lives of its fixed
assets and  determined  that the useful lives of certain asset  categories  were
generally longer than the lives used for depreciation purposes.  Therefore,  the
Division  extended the  estimated  depreciable  lives of certain  categories  of
property,  plant and  equipment  (mainly  machinery  and  equipment  used in the
production process),  by a maximum of two years,  effective January 1, 1994. The
effect of this change in estimate  reduced 1994  depreciation  expense by $3,162
and increased 1994 net income by $1,932.

Goodwill
- --------

Goodwill  consists  of  an  allocated   portion  of  the  Pechiney   Corporation
acquisition  costs in excess of the fair value of the net assets of the Division
(see Note 1), and the  acquisition  costs in excess of the fair value of the net
assets acquired from the Liberty Glass Company ("Liberty") in 1994 (see Note 5).
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years.

In addition to the normal charge for the year, Pechiney  Corporation and ANC, in
1994,  revised their method of evaluating  goodwill  resulting in a writedown of
$35,944 relating to the Division.  A review of the carrying value of goodwill in
light of recent profitability trends of certain assets and current market values
resulted in this additional charge.

Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
- ------------------------------------------------

Effective   January  1,  1993,  the  Division  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other than  Pensions"  which requires that the projected cost of all health care
and other non-pension benefits provided by the Division to its retired employees
and their  dependents be accrued  during an employees'  period of service rather
than expensed as paid.  The  cumulative  effect of this change in accounting for
postretirement  benefits  resulted  in a non-cash,  after-tax  charge in 1993 of
$5,167 (net of $3,289 of income tax benefits). This cumulative effect represents
the actuarial present value of all future medical and life insurance benefits to
be paid to active employees and employees who retired  subsequent to the date of
the acquisition by Pechiney  Corporation (see Note 1) based on services rendered
to date. The amount of the cumulative effect recorded by the Division at January
1, 1993 was  determined  (a) for active  employees  on the basis of an actuarial
valuation  and (b) for  retired  employees  based  on a pro rata  allocation  of
Division  retirees to the total  number of retirees of ANC covered by the plans,
after  reduction for the remaining  portion of the liability  established at the
date of  acquisition  by  Pechiney  Corporation  for  employees  who had already
retired as of that date.

Effective   January  1,  1994,  the  Division  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  112,   "Employers'   Accounting  for  Postemployment
Benefits" ("SFAS 112").  This standard  requires that the projected costs of all
benefits  the  Division  provides  to former or  inactive  employees  (and their
covered  dependents)  before  their  retirement  be accrued at the time they are
terminated  or  become  inactive.  The  cumulative  effect  of  this  change  in
accounting for postemployment benefits resulted in a non-cash,  after-tax charge
of $843  (net of $537 of  income  tax  benefits).  There was no impact on pretax
earnings in 1994 as a result of complying with SFAS 112.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Division is included as part of ANC in the consolidated  U.S. federal income
tax return of Pechiney  Corporation.  The provision for income taxes is computed
on the taxable income of the Division on a stand-alone basis.

The Division accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability approach
in  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109,
"Accounting  for Income  Taxes." The asset and liability  approach  requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and  liabilities  for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary  differences  between the financial  reporting and the
tax bases of assets and liabilities.

The liability for the current portion of the tax provision is transferred to the
Investments  by and advances  from ANC account at the end of each year.  The net
asset  or  liability  for  deferred  income  taxes  has  been  included  in  the
accompanying balance sheets.


Note 3 - Related Party Transactions
- -----------------------------------

ANC provides the Division certain data processing, human resources,  purchasing,
credit,  accounting  and tax services.  An allocation of the estimated  costs of
these  services  is charged  directly  to the  Division  each month by ANC using
varying  allocation  bases  (primarily  number of transactions  processed).  The
allocation  process is consistent with the  methodology  used by ANC to allocate
costs of similar  services  provided to its other business units.  The costs for
these  services are  negotiated  and agreed to by both the Division and ANC each
year, and in the opinion of management are  reasonable.  The allocated  costs of
these  services,   which  aggregated   $2,787  and  $2,993  in  1994  and  1993,
respectively,  were reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in
the accompanying statements of income.

ANC maintains a centralized cash management  system and  substantially  all cash
receipts and  disbursements are recorded at the corporate level. The Division is
charged or credited for the net of cash receipts and disbursements each month.

The Division  incurs a monthly  charge for interest  expense from ANC based on a
formula which takes into  consideration  its  percentage  of certain  assets and
liabilities  in relation to the total for ANC of these  assets and  liabilities.
The Division  incurred a charge for interest  expense from ANC of $8,072 in 1994
and $756 in 1993.

The following  table sets forth the activity in the  Investments by and advances
from ANC account for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993:

ANC maintains  agreements with certain banks to sell trade accounts  receivable,
with limited  recourse,  on a revolving  basis.  The agreements  specify certain
eligibility criteria for receivables that are sold, including credit quality and
maturity. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, a portion of the Division's receivables
was included in the eligible pool of receivables  sold by ANC. The  accompanying
balance sheets reflect all Division receivables, including those in the eligible
pool.

Note 5 - Acquisition
- --------------------

On April 25, 1994, the Division  through ANC acquired the net assets of Liberty,
a glass manufacturer with a facility in Sapulpa,  Oklahoma for cash of $138,321.
This  acquisition is being  accounted for in accordance with the purchase method
of  accounting,  and  accordingly  the  results of  operations  of Liberty  were
included in the accompanying statements of income from the acquisition date. The
net assets of Liberty were included in the accompanying balance sheets at values
representing the allocation of the purchase cost to such net assets.  The excess
of purchase  cost over the  valuation of the net tangible  assets of $77,878 was
recorded as goodwill  and is being  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over 40
years.

The following summary presents  unaudited pro forma financial  information as if
the Liberty  acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each year, rather than
from the date of acquisition. The pro forma financial summary is for information
purposes only, based on historical information, and does not necessarily reflect
the actual results that would have occurred nor is it necessarily  indicative of
future results of operations of the combined businesses:

Note 11 - Pension Liabilities
- -----------------------------

The Division  sponsors defined benefit  retirement plans covering  substantially
all hourly  employees of the Division.  The  Division's  salaried  employees are
included in ANC-sponsored  defined benefit and defined  contribution plans which
cover  substantially  all of the salaried  employees of ANC. These plans provide
benefits that are based on employees' years of service and  compensation  during
employment with the Division.  The Division  through ANC makes  contributions to
the defined  benefit  plans at least equal to the minimum  funding  requirements
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Net  periodic  pension  cost for the  Division's  hourly plans for 1994 and 1993
included the following components:

</TABLE>

The aggregate expense included in the accompanying  statements of income for the
salaried  defined benefit and defined  contribution  plans amounted to $2,717 in
1994 and $2,178 in 1993.  Pension expense for salaried employees of the Division
participating  in the  ANC-sponsored  plans was allocated  based on an actuarial
valuation.  Pension expense for salaried retirees of the Division  participating
in the  ANC-sponsored  plans was  determined  based on a pro-rata  allocation of
Division retirees to total ANC retirees.

For 1993 and 1994,  the discount rate used to determine  the  actuarial  present
value of the projected benefit  obligation was 8.0%, the expected rate of return
on plan assets was 10.0%,  and the discount  rate used to determine the interest
cost on the projected  benefit  obligation  was 8.0%.  The expected  increase in
future  salaries for those plans using future  compensation  assumptions  ranged
from 4.0% to 6.9% for 1994 and 6.0% to 8.9% for 1993.

All amortization is based upon the average  remaining  service period of covered
employees except for unrecognized  prior service costs for benefit  improvements
negotiated  during the current  period which are amortized over ten years (twice
the contract period).

The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts  recognized for the
Division's hourly plans in the accompanying  balance sheets at December 31, 1994

The plans' assets are held by a master trust created for  collective  investment
of plans' funds. At December 31, 1994 and 1993,  assets held by the master trust
consisted primarily of common and preferred stocks, corporate bonds, U.S.
government obligations, pooled funds, real estate and short-term investments.

At  December  31,  1994  and  1993,  equity  adjustments  of  $4,991  and  $371,
respectively,  (net of  taxes  of  $3,177  and  $236,  respectively),  had  been
recorded, which represent the excess of the additional minimum pension liability
over the related  unrecognized  prior  service  cost for the  Division-sponsored
plans. Intangible assets of $8,471 and $4,596 have been recorded at December 31,
1994 and 1993,  respectively,  to the extent of unrecognized  prior service cost
and were included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

The projected  benefit  obligation  for the  Division's  salaried  employees and
retirees  included  in the  ANC-sponsored  plans was  approximately  $27,700 and
$26,600 at December  31,  1994 and 1993,  respectively,  calculated  on the same
bases as the related pension  expense.  Such obligations are not included in the
accompanying balance sheets.


Note 12 - Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
- ----------------------------------------------------

The Division  participates  in a number of  multi-employer  plans which  provide
postretirement  health care benefits to  substantially  all hourly employees not
covered by Division-sponsored  plans. The Division also sponsors health care and
life insurance  benefit plans for certain hourly employees and their dependents.
Certain of the plans require  retiree  contributions.  The  Division's  salaried
employees are included in an ANC-sponsored  plan which covers  substantially all
salaried employees of ANC.

The net postretirement benefit expense for 1994 and 1993 included the following:

Additionally,  the postretirement  benefit obligation for salaried employees and
salaried retirees of the Division  included in the ANC-sponsored  plan of $8,431
at December 31, 1994 and $7,546 at December 31, 1993, as determined by actuarial
valuation,  are reflected in other  long-term  liabilities  on the  accompanying
balance sheets.

A discount rate of 8% was used for determining obligations and interest costs.

The following table shows the other  assumptions used to develop the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation and the net post-retirement benefit expense.

</TABLE>

A one  percentage  point  increase in the  assumed  health care cost trend rates
would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation,  excluding the
ANC-sponsored and multi-employer plans, as of December 31, 1994 by approximately
$500, and would  increase the total of the service and interest cost  components
by approximately $50 for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Note 14 - Asset Writedowns
- --------------------------

In 1994, the Division recorded a writedown of various assets  aggregating $2,381
due to the  technological  obsolescence  of machinery and equipment  used in the
production  process.  The  writedown  has been  included  in  Other,  net on the
accompanying statements of income.


Note 15 - Contingencies
- -----------------------

The Division is involved in litigation  and in  administrative  proceedings  and
investigations  in various  jurisdictions.  A number of such matters involve the
Division, ANC and other parties related to environmental remediation costs.

It is the  Division's  policy to accrue  environmental  cleanup costs when it is
probable  that a  liability  has  been  incurred  and an  amount  is  reasonably
estimable.  As assessments and cleanups proceed,  these liabilities are reviewed
periodically  and adjusted as  additional  information  becomes  available.  The
liabilities  can  change   substantially  due  to  such  factors  as  additional
information  on the nature or extent of  contamination,  methods of  remediation
required,  and other actions by governmental  agencies or private  parties.  The
aggregate  environmental-related  accruals were $12,459 at December 31, 1994 and
$13,479 at December 31, 1993. A right of recovery  exists from a third party for
certain future  incurred  costs at one site.  This expected  future  recovery of
$3,681 at December 31, 1994 and $4,105 at December 31, 1993 has been recorded in
other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

While the  Division's  liability,  if any, with respect to all pending suits and
claims cannot be  determined at this time, it is the opinion of management  that
the  outcome  of any such  matters,  and all of them  combined,  will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  position  or results of
operations.


Note 16 - Major Customers
- -------------------------

The  Division  had net  sales to one  customer  in 1994 and  1993  amounting  to
approximately $252,000 and $229,000, respectively.


Note 17 - Subsequent Event
- --------------------------

On September 15, 1995,  Foster Ball, LLC acquired from ANC  substantially all of
the net  operating  assets of the  Division,  including  ANC's  interest  in the
Tropicana Joint Venture,  Heye and Trona,  for cash of  approximately  $680,000.
Upon  completion  of this  transaction,  ANC will no longer sell products in the
glass manufacturing markets.

Item 7 (b)        Unaudited pro forma financial information.

Introduction

The following  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements of income (loss) of
Ball  Corporation  for the year ended  December 31, 1994 and for the nine months
ended October 1, 1995 give effect to the September 15, 1995 sale of Registrant's
glass food and beverage container manufacturing  business,  operated through its
wholly owned subsidiary,  Ball Glass Container  Corporation  ("Ball Glass"),  to
Ball-Foster Glass Container Corporation ("Ball-Foster"), a joint venture limited
liability   company.   On  September   15,  1995,   Ball-Foster   also  acquired
substantially  all of the  assets and  liabilities  of the  Foster-Forbes  Glass
Division  ("Foster-Forbes")  of American  National Can Company,  a subsidiary of
Pechiney S.A. A pro forma balance sheet  presentation  at October 1, 1995 is not
presented since the sale of  substantially  all of the assets and liabilities of
Ball Glass was  reflected  in  Registrant's  most recent  balance  sheet for the
quarter  ended  October  1,  1995  which  was  filed   November  15,  1995  with
Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Compagnie de  Saint-Gobain,  a French  corporation,  indirectly holds 58% of the
ownership  interests of Ball-Foster while the Registrant  indirectly holds a 42%
ownership interest which is accounted for under the equity method. The pro forma
statements are prepared as if the  aforementioned  transactions  had occurred on
January  1,  1994 and  give  effect  to the  deconsolidation  of the Ball  Glass
business and to the  Registrant's 42% equity in the pro forma after tax earnings
of Ball-Foster.

The  pro  forma  presentation  does  not  include  the net  loss  on Ball  Glass
disposition  of $113.3  million  pretax  ($77.8  million  after tax or $2.58 per
share).  Notwithstanding the potential for the combined  Ball-Foster business to
achieve   meaningful   synergies   through  enhanced   economies  of  scale  and
consolidation  of  operations,  the pro forma equity in earnings of  Ball-Foster
does not include any anticipated  synergies nor any  nonrecurring  charges which
may be required in connection with actions taken to achieve such synergies.

The  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated  statements  of income  (loss)  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  which would have been  obtained had the
transactions occurred at January 1, 1994, nor are they necessarily indicative of
future  results.  The  pro  forma  financial   information  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with: the  accompanying  notes to unaudited pro forma  consolidated
statements of income (loss);  the audited annual and unaudited interim financial
statements  of Ball  Glass and  Foster-Forbes  included  elsewhere  in this Form
8-K/A; the  Registrant's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994 and Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the three quarters
ended October 1, 1995.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (LOSS)


(a)    To  exclude  the   nonrecurring loss recognized upon  disposition of Ball
       Glass.

(b)    Interest  expense is not adjusted because  interest-bearing  indebtedness
       related to Ball Glass has been retained by the Registrant.

(c)    To reflect certain allocated  corporate  overhead costs which will not be
       eliminated as a consequence of the sale of Ball Glass.

(d)    Reflects the application of the $141.9 million net cash proceeds from the
       sale of Ball Glass to reduce short term indebtedness and related interest
       expense at weighted  average actual  interest rates of 4.58% and 6.45% in
       1994 and 1995, respectively.

(e)    To  reflect   the   income   tax  effects of the pro forma adjustments at
       statutory rates.

(f)    Ball-Foster's  acquisition of the Foster-Forbes business has been treated
       as a  purchase  business  combination  with  the  purchase  consideration
       allocated to  estimated  fair values of assets  acquired and  liabilities
       assumed.  Such  estimated  values  are  preliminary  and are  subject  to
       adjustment  due  to:  final  purchase  price  negotiations,  results   of
       appraisals   and   refinements  to  other  estimates. As a consequence of
       Registrant's  continuing  interest  in  the  net  assets  of  its  former
       glass   container   manufacturing  business,   the  related  depreciation
       and  amortization  have   been   included  in  pro   forma   equity    in
       earnings of Ball-Foster at the company's  basis which includes the effect
       of recognizing the net value realized upon disposition.
