NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at March 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the
three months then ended is unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Silgan
Holdings Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the full year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived
from our audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

You should read the accompanying financial statements in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year's presentation.


Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, or SFAS, No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangibles." SFAS No. 141 revises the accounting treatment
for business combinations to require the use of purchase accounting and prohibit
the use of the pooling-of-interests method for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 revises the accounting for goodwill to
eliminate amortization of goodwill on transactions consummated after June 30,
2001 and of all other goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Other intangible assets
will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also
requires goodwill and other intangibles to be assessed for impairment each year
and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. During the
second quarter of 2002, we will perform our first impairment test as of January
1, 2002. We do not anticipate having to record a charge to net income for the
potential impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets as a result of the
adoption of SFAS No. 142.

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of
Accounting Principles Board, or APB, No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS
No. 144 provides updated guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of
an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived assets and expands the scope
of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity. The adoption of
SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not impact our financial position or results
of operations.

Extinguishment of Debt and Various Technical Corrections
- --------------------------------------------------------

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS
No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4,
"Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," and SFAS No. 64,
"Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145
also rescinds SFAS No. 44 and amends SFAS No. 13 and other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The
provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 and SFAS No.
64 are effective for us on January 1, 2003, and all other provisions are
effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. We are currently
evaluating the provisions of this standard.

Note 3. Rationalization (Credit) Charges and Acquisition Reserves

During the first quarter of 2002, certain assets of our metal food container
business with carrying values that were previously written down were placed back
in service. As a result, we recorded a $2.3 million rationalization credit in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and recorded those assets in
our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their depreciated cost, which
approximates fair value.

As part of our plans to integrate the operations of our various acquired
businesses, including the Food Metal and Specialty business of American National
Can Company, or AN Can, and to rationalize certain facilities, we have
established reserves for employee severance and benefits, plant exit costs and
acquisition liabilities. Except for certain contractual obligations, these costs
are expected to be incurred primarily through 2002. Activity in our
rationalization and acquisition reserves since December 31, 2001 is summarized
as follows:

Note 3. Rationalization (Credit) Charges and Acquisition Reserves (continued)

During the first quarter of 2001, we recorded a rationalization charge of $3.5
million relating to closing one plastic container manufacturing facility. This
charge consisted of $2.6 million for plant exit costs and $0.9 million for
employee severance and benefits. During the first quarter of 2001, we utilized
$1.5 million of rationalization and acquisition reserves which was comprised of
$0.7 million for employee severance and benefits, $0.4 million for plant exit
costs and $0.4 million for acquisition liabilities.

Note 6. Investment in Affiliate

Effective July 1, 2001, we formed a joint venture company with Schmalbach-Lubeca
AG that supplies an extensive range of metal and plastic closures to the food
and beverage industries in North America. The new venture operates under the
name White Cap LLC, or White Cap. We contributed certain metal closure assets
and liabilities, including our manufacturing facilities in Evansville and
Richmond, Indiana, in return for a 35% interest in and $32.4 million of cash
proceeds from the joint venture.

We account for our investment in the White Cap joint venture using the equity
method. During the first quarter of 2002, we recorded equity in losses of the
White Cap joint venture of $0.6 million, net of $0.3 million of income taxes, or
$0.03 per diluted share. In addition, we recorded our share of White Cap's
minimum pension liability and foreign currency translation aggregating $0.3
million, net of tax, as a reduction to our investment.

Under our U.S. senior secured bank credit facility, or the U.S. Credit
Agreement, we have available to us $670.5 million of bank revolving loans. We
also have $4.5 million of bank revolving loans available to us under our
Canadian bank facility, or the Canadian Bank Facility. Bank revolving loans may
be used for working capital needs, acquisitions and other permitted purposes.
Bank revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 31,
2003, their final maturity date under both facilities.

At March 31, 2002, bank revolving loans under the U.S. Credit Agreement
consisted of $91.6 million related primarily to seasonal working capital needs
and $333.0 million related primarily to long-term financing of acquisitions. At
March 31, 2002, amounts expected to be repaid within one year consisted of $91.6
million of bank revolving loans and $58.0 million of bank term loans. Bank
revolving loans not expected to be repaid within one year have been reclassified
as long-term debt.

Note 8. Business Segment Information

Historically, we reported the results of our specialty packaging business as a
separate business segment, which included our metal closures, Omni plastic
container, Polystar easy-open plastic end and paperboard container businesses.
As a result of the White Cap joint venture on July 1, 2001, we no longer report
the results of our remaining specialty packaging businesses as a separate
business segment. The results of the Omni plastic container and Polystar
easy-open plastic end businesses are reported with our plastic container
business, and the results of the paperboard container business are reported with
our metal food container business. The results of our metal closures business,
which was contributed to the White Cap joint venture, are reported separately.
Prior year amounts have been restated to conform with the current presentation.

Reportable business segment information for our business segments is as follows:

Note 9. Subsequent Events

Refinancing
- -----------

On April 29, 2002, we issued an additional $200 million aggregate principal
amount of our 9% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2009, or the 9% Debentures,
in a private placement. The newly issued 9% Debentures were an add-on issuance
under the Indenture for our existing 9% Debentures originally issued in June
1997. The terms of the newly issued 9% Debentures are identical to the existing
9% Debentures issued in June 1997 except that the newly issued 9% Debentures are
subject to certain transfer restrictions.

The issue price for the newly issued 9% Debentures was 103.0% of their principal
amount. Net cash proceeds received from this issuance were approximately $202
million, after deducting selling commissions and offering expenses payable by
us. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay a portion of our
revolving loan obligations under our U.S. Credit Agreement. As a result of this
repayment, our revolving loan commitment under our U.S. Credit Agreement was
permanently reduced by $202.0 million to $468.5 million. In addition, we
received $7.4 million from the purchasers of the newly issued 9% Debentures for
accrued interest from December 1, 2001 to the date of issuance. All 9% Debenture
holders of record as of May 15, 2002 will receive a scheduled interest payment
on June 1, 2002, accruing from December 1, 2001.

Note 9. Subsequent Events (continued)

Refinancing (continued)
- -----------

During April 2002, we entered into commitment letters with several lenders for a
new underwritten $800 million U.S. senior secured credit facility, or the New
Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement will provide us with term loans and a
revolving loan facility as well as an incremental uncommitted term loan facility
of up to $250 million. Loans under the New Credit Agreement are expected to have
a maturity of approximately six years. We expect to refinance all of our
outstanding term loans and revolving loans under our U.S. Credit Agreement with
new term loans and revolving loans under the New Credit Agreement. We expect to
enter into the New Credit Agreement later in the second quarter of 2002.

Although the final terms of the New Credit Agreement have not been determined,
we expect the financial and operating covenants in the New Credit Agreement to
be no more restrictive in the aggregate than the covenants in our current U.S.
Credit Agreement. We expect to be able to use the revolving loan facility and
any incremental term loans under the New Credit Agreement for working capital
purposes, acquisitions and other permitted purposes. We also expect that the
interest rate margins and fee for the unutilized portion of the revolving loan
facility under the New Credit Agreement will be modestly higher than the
interest rate margins and fee for the unutilized portion of the revolving loan
facility under our current U.S. Credit Agreement.

Equipment Purchase
- ------------------

Effective May 1, 2002, our metal food container business purchased the machinery
and equipment of a cutting and coating facility located in Antioch, California
from Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. In connection with this purchase, the
leases for the facility in Antioch, California and certain equipment were
assigned to our metal food container business, and we assumed no other
liabilities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

Statements included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking
statements are made based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning
future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of uncertainties and
risks, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and our other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results of our
operations or our financial condition could differ materially from those

-17-
Three  Months  Ended March 31, 2002  Compared  with Three Months Ended March 31,
2001

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales decreased $19.2 million, or 4.3%, to $424.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to net sales of
$443.5 million for the same three months in the prior year. This decrease was
the result of the impact of contributing the metal closure business to the White
Cap joint venture and lower sales of the plastic container business, partially
offset by higher sales of the metal food container business. Excluding first
quarter 2001 net sales of $22.1 million of the metal closure business, net sales
for the first quarter of 2002 increased $2.9 million, or 0.7%, as compared to
the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the metal food container business were $299.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of $5.9 million, or 2.0%, from
net sales of $293.5 million for the same period in 2001. This increase was
primarily attributable to higher unit volume and selling prices and an improved
sales mix.

Net sales for the plastic container business of $124.9 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $3.0 million, or 2.3%, from net sales of
$127.9 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily a result
of lower average sales prices due to the pass through of lower resin costs,
despite slightly higher unit volume.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of consolidated net sales
was 87.6% ($371.8 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease
of 0.9 percentage points as compared to 88.5% ($392.6 million) for the same
period in 2001. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable
to higher unit volume and selling prices of the metal food container business,
the elimination of goodwill amortization and lower energy costs, partially
offset by operating inefficiencies at one plastic container facility.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased by
0.2 percentage points to 4.4% ($18.7 million) for the three months ended March
31, 2002, as compared to 4.2% ($18.7 million) for the same period in 2001. This
slight increase was largely the result of higher selling, general and
administrative expenses in the plastic container business.

Income from Operations. Excluding rationalization credits and charges in both
periods, income from operations for the first quarter of 2002 increased $1.5
million, or 4.7%, to $33.7 million, as compared to $32.2 million in the same
period in 2001. This increase was primarily a result of higher sales and income
from operations in the metal food container business and the elimination of
goodwill amortization, partially offset by the impact of contributing the metal
closure business to the White Cap joint venture and lower operating income in
the plastic container business. Excluding rationalization credits and charges,
income from operations as a percentage of consolidated net sales for the first
quarter of 2002 improved 0.6 percentage points to 7.9%, as compared to 7.3% for
the same period in 2001. This increase in operating margins was primarily the
result of higher margins in the metal food container business. Including the
effects of rationalization credits and charges, income from operations for the
first quarter of 2002 increased $7.3 million, or 25.4%, to $36.0 million, as
compared to $28.7 million in the same period in 2001.




-18-
In the first  quarter  of 2002,  we  recorded a  rationalization  credit of $2.3
million primarily relating to certain assets of our metal food container
business previously written down that were placed back in service. In the first
quarter of 2001, we recorded a rationalization charge of $3.5 million relating
to closing a plastic container manufacturing facility.

Excluding the rationalization credit in the first quarter of 2002, income from
operations of the metal food container business in the first quarter of 2002
increased $3.1 million, or 18.1%, to $20.2 million as compared to $17.1 million
for the first quarter of 2001, and income from operations as a percentage of net
sales increased 0.9 percentage points to 6.7% as compared to 5.8% for the same
period in 2001. Income from operations of the metal food container business for
the first quarter of 2001 included $0.6 million of goodwill amortization. These
improvements in income from operations and operating margins were principally
due to higher sales, lower energy costs and the elimination of goodwill
amortization, partially offset by higher depreciation expense and higher
insurance and employee medical costs. Including the rationalization credit,
income from operations of the metal food container business was $22.5 million
and income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 7.5% for the three
months ended March 31, 2002.

Excluding the rationalization charge in the first quarter of 2001, income from
operations for the plastic container business for the three months ended March
31, 2002 decreased $0.3 million, or 2.0%, to $14.8 million as compared to $15.1
million for the same period in 2001, and income from operations as a percentage
of net sales remained essentially flat at 11.8% as compared to the first quarter
of 2001. Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first
quarter of 2001 included $0.6 million of goodwill amortization. The decrease in
income from operations was primarily a result of operating inefficiencies in one
plant, partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization. Including
the effect of the rationalization charge, income from operations for the plastic
container business for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $11.6 million,
and income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 9.1%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $6.4 million to $16.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
The decrease in interest expense was a result of lower interest rates and lower
average borrowings outstanding.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March
31, 2002 and 2001 was recorded at an effective annual income tax rate of 39.0%
and 40.2%, respectively ($7.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively). The
decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to the discontinuation, for
financial reporting purposes, of goodwill amortization that was non-deductible
for income tax purposes.

Net Income and Earnings per Share. Earnings for the first quarter of 2002 before
the rationalization credit were $9.9 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, as
compared to earnings of $5.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2001 excluding the rationalization charge and equity in losses of
Packtion Corporation, or Packtion, a now dissolved e-commerce packaging venture.
Excluding the rationalization credit and equity in losses of the White Cap joint
venture, earnings for the first three months of 2002 were $10.5 million, or
$0.58 per diluted share.


-19-
Including  rationalization  credits  and charges  and our equity  investment  in
Packtion in the first quarter of 2001, net income for the first quarter of 2002
was $11.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, as compared to first quarter 2001
net income of $2.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Net income for the first
quarter of 2002 included a pre-tax rationalization credit of $2.3 million, or
$0.07 per diluted share, and equity in losses of the White Cap joint venture of
$0.6 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share. Net income for the first
quarter of 2001 included equity in losses of Packtion of $1.3 million, or $0.07
per diluted share, and a pre-tax rationalization charge of $3.5 million, or
$0.12 per diluted share.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142, "Accounting for
Goodwill and Other Intangibles," required us to eliminate the amortization of
goodwill effective January 1, 2002. However, if we continued to amortize
goodwill during the first quarter of 2002, we would have incurred additional
expense of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash from operating activities
and borrowings under our revolving loan facilities. Our liquidity requirements
arise primarily from our obligations under the indebtedness incurred in
connection with our acquisitions and the refinancing of that indebtedness,
capital investment in new and existing equipment and the funding of our seasonal
working capital needs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, we used net borrowings of revolving
loans of $91.6 million under the U.S. Credit Agreement, proceeds from stock
option exercises of $1.0 million and cash balances of $3.8 million to fund cash
used by operations of $75.8 million primarily for our seasonal working capital
needs and net capital expenditures of $20.6 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we used net borrowings of revolving
loans of $110.9 million under the U.S. Credit Agreement to fund cash used by
operations of $87.7 million primarily for our seasonal working capital needs,
net capital expenditures of $19.2 million and our investment in Packtion of $3.0
million and to increase cash balances by $0.9 million.

Because we sell metal containers used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we
have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must access working
capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers
beyond the end of the summer and fall packing season. Seasonal accounts are
generally settled by year end. Due to our seasonal requirements, we incur
short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements.

For 2002, we estimate that we will utilize approximately $190-$200 million of
revolving loans under our senior secured credit facilities for our month-end
peak seasonal working capital requirements. We may use the available portion of
our revolving loan facilities, after taking into account our seasonal needs and
outstanding letters of credit, for acquisitions and other permitted purposes.

As of March 31, 2002, we had $424.6 million of revolving loans outstanding under
the U.S. Credit Agreement, of which $91.6 million related primarily to seasonal
working capital needs and $333.0 million related primarily to long-term
financing of acquisitions. Revolving loans not expected to be repaid within one
year have been reclassified as long-term debt. The unused portion of revolving
loan commitments under our credit agreements at March 31, 2002, after taking
into account outstanding letters of credit, was $230.4 million.



-20-
On April 29, 2002,  we issued an  additional  $200 million  aggregate  principal
amount of our 9% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2009, or the 9% Debentures,
in a private placement. The newly issued 9% Debentures were an add-on issuance
under the Indenture for our existing 9% Debentures originally issued in June
1997. The terms of the newly issued 9% Debentures are identical to the existing
9% Debentures issued in June 1997 except that the newly issued 9% Debentures are
subject to certain transfer restrictions.

The issue price for the newly issued 9% Debentures was 103.0% of their principal
amount. Net cash proceeds received from this issuance were approximately $202
million, after deducting selling commissions and offering expenses payable by
us. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay a portion of our
revolving loan obligations under our U.S. Credit Agreement. As a result of this
repayment, our revolving loan commitment under our U.S. Credit Agreement was
permanently reduced by $202.0 million to $468.5 million. In addition, we
received $7.4 million from the purchasers of the newly issued 9% Debentures for
accrued interest from December 1, 2001 to the date of issuance. All 9% Debenture
holders of record as of May 15, 2002 will receive a scheduled interest payment
on June 1, 2002, accruing from December 1, 2001.

During April 2002, we entered into commitment letters with several lenders for a
new underwritten $800 million U.S. senior secured credit facility, or the New
Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement will provide us with term loans and a
revolving loan facility as well as an incremental uncommitted term loan facility
of up to $250 million. Loans under the New Credit Agreement are expected to have
a maturity of approximately six years. We expect to refinance all of our
outstanding term loans and revolving loans under our U.S. Credit Agreement with
new term loans and revolving loans under the New Credit Agreement. We expect to
enter into the New Credit Agreement later in the second quarter of 2002.

Although the final terms of the New Credit Agreement have not been determined,
we expect the financial and operating covenants in the New Credit Agreement to
be no more restrictive in the aggregate than the covenants in our current U.S.
Credit Agreement. We expect to be able to use the revolving loan facility and
any incremental term loans under the New Credit Agreement for working capital
purposes, acquisitions and other permitted purposes. We also expect that the
interest rate margins and fee for the unutilized portion of the revolving loan
facility under the New Credit Agreement will be modestly higher than the
interest rate margins and fee for the unutilized portion of the revolving loan
facility under our current U.S. Credit Agreement. Accordingly, as a result of
the refinancing of our U.S. Credit Agreement with the New Credit Agreement and
the net proceeds from the add-on issuance of our 9% Debentures, we expect that
our interest expense will increase during the second half of 2002 as compared to
the second half of 2001.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $70 million of our
Common Stock. As of March 31, 2002, we have repurchased 2,708,975 shares of our
Common Stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $61.0 million. We intend to
finance future repurchases, if any, of our Common Stock with revolving loan
borrowings.



-21-
During the first  quarter of 2002,  certain  assets of our metal food  container
business with carrying values that were previously written down were placed back
in service. As a result, we recorded a $2.3 million rationalization credit in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and recorded those assets in
our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their depreciated cost, which
approximates fair value. You should also read Note 3 to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2002
included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from the revolving
loans available under our senior secured credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service
and tax obligations for the foreseeable future. We are also continually
evaluating and pursuing acquisition opportunities in the consumer goods
packaging market and may incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness
under our senior secured credit facilities, to finance any such acquisition.

A portion of our term loan indebtedness and all of our revolving loan
indebtedness under our current U.S. Credit Agreement matures on December 31,
2003. We have entered into commitment letters with several lenders to refinance
our U.S. Credit Agreement with the New Credit Agreement. We expect to enter into
the New Credit Agreement later in the second quarter of 2002. However, the
commitments are subject to a number of conditions including the negotiation of
definitive agreements. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to enter into
the New Credit Agreement on the same terms (including interest rate margins) as
under our current U.S. Credit Agreement. Our ability to effect this refinancing
and the terms of this refinancing will depend upon a variety of factors,
including:

o our future prospects, which will be subject to prevailing economic
conditions and to financial, business and other factors (including the
state of the economy and the financial markets and other factors
beyond our control) affecting our business and operations;

o prevailing interest rates;

o the timing of the refinancing; and

o the amount of debt to be refinanced.

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in the
instruments and agreements governing our indebtedness and believe that we will
continue to be in compliance with all such covenants during 2002.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles." SFAS No. 141 revises the
accounting treatment for business combinations to require the use of purchase
accounting and prohibit the use of the pooling-of-interests method for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 revises the accounting
for goodwill to eliminate amortization of goodwill on transactions consummated
after June 30, 2001 and of all other goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS
No. 142 also requires goodwill and other intangibles to be assessed for
impairment each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible
impairment. During the second quarter of 2002, we will perform our first
impairment test as of January 1, 2002. We do not anticipate having to record a
charge to net income for the potential impairment of goodwill or other
intangible assets as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of
Accounting Principles Board, or APB, No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS
No. 144 provides updated guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of
an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived assets and expands the scope
of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity. The adoption of
SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not impact our financial position or results
of operations.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS
No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4,
"Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," and SFAS No. 64,
"Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS No. 145

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
---------------------------------------------------------

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates. In the normal course of business, we also have limited foreign
currency risk associated with our Canadian operations and risk related to
commodity price changes for items such as natural gas. We employ established
policies and procedures to manage our exposure to these risks. Interest rate,
foreign currency and commodity pricing transactions are used only to the extent
considered necessary to meet our objectives. We do not utilize derivative
financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Information regarding our interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate
risk and commodity pricing risk has been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Since such filing, there has
not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign currency rate risk
or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and procedures to manage our
exposure to these risks.

Part II. Other Information

Item 5. Other Information

We have been advised by Messrs. R. Philip Silver, our Chairman of the Board and
Co-Chief Executive Officer, and D. Greg Horrigan, our President and Co-Chief
Executive Officer, that each of them may from time to time sell or gift a
portion of his shares of our Common Stock for liquidity and estate planning
purposes. Messrs. Silver and Horrigan further informed the Company that these
possible share sales and/or gifts are motivated solely by personal
considerations and do not signal any change in the Company's strategy or their
future leadership of the Company. If either of them sells any of his shares in
the open market, he will be required to sell them in brokers' transactions
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and in compliance with our applicable securities trading policies. Under Rule
144, each of our affiliates, including our executive officers, is permitted to
sell shares of our Common Stock in any three month period up to the greater of
(i) one percent of our outstanding Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly
volume of trading in our Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market
System during the four calendar weeks preceding the required notice filing under
Rule 144. Currently, each of Messrs. Silver and Horrigan beneficially owns
3,603,244 shares, or approximately 20%, of our Common Stock.
