NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the
three months then ended is unaudited)


Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Silgan Holdings Inc., or Holdings, have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2006 has been derived
from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

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

You should read the accompanying condensed consolidated 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, 2006.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation, or FIN, No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109." FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods and disclosure. We adopted FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. As a
result, we recognized a reduction to opening retained earnings at January 1,
2007 of $1.8 million to recognize additional long-term tax liabilities. See Note
8 for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements."
SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition for fair value, sets
out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for us on January 1,
2008. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our
consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions

White Cap
- ---------

In 2006, we acquired the White Cap closures operations in Europe, Turkey, China
and the Philippines from Amcor Limited, or Amcor. In January 2007, we acquired
the majority share of the White Cap closures operations in Venezuela from Amcor.
The acquisition of the remaining White Cap closures operations in Brazil is
subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions as provided in the purchase
agreement with Amcor. White Cap is a leading supplier of an extensive range of
vacuum closures to consumer goods packaging companies in the food and beverage
industries. White Cap has been recombined with our previously acquired White Cap
closures operations in the United States to create a global leader in vacuum
closures for hot filled and retortable food and beverage products.

The White Cap acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the
respective dates of acquisition, and the results of operations have been
included in our consolidated financial statements as of the respective dates of
acquisition. We have completed the valuation of certain assets and liabilities
including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and pension
obligations. The valuation of certain other assets and liabilities is still in
process, and therefore the actual fair value may vary from these preliminary
estimates. Adjustments to the acquired net assets resulting from final
valuations are not expected to be significant. The acquired White Cap closures
operations have been combined with our previously acquired U.S. closures
operations that had been reported as part of our metal food containers business
segment to form a new closures business segment.

Cousins-Currie Limited
- ----------------------

In December 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Cousins-Currie
Limited, or Cousins-Currie, a leading manufacturer in Canada of larger-size
custom designed plastic containers.

The acquisition of Cousins-Currie was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value
at the acquisition date. The valuation of assets and liabilities is still in
process, and therefore the actual fair values may vary from preliminary
estimates. We have engaged third party experts to value certain intangible
assets. At March 31, 2007, we preliminarily allocated $12.4 million and $15.3
million to goodwill and other intangible assets, respectively. Other intangible
assets are primarily customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 19
years.

2006 Rationalization Plans
- --------------------------

In June 2006, in an effort to streamline operations and reduce costs, we
approved a plan to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota metal food container
manufacturing facility. We expect to exit this facility in the third quarter of
2007. The plan includes the termination of approximately 60 employees, the
consolidation of certain operations into existing facilities and the elimination
of the remaining operations and the exit of the facility. We estimate that the
total costs for the rationalization of the facility will be $12.8 million. These
costs include $4.6 million of non-cash pension and postretirement curtailment
expense, $2.6 million of employee severance and special termination benefits,
$2.6 million for plant exit costs, $2.6 million for the acceleration of
depreciation to write-down the building for sale and equipment for abandonment
upon the exit of the facility and $0.4 million for the non-cash write-down in
carrying value of assets. As of December 31, 2006, total charges recognized to
date included $4.6 million of non-cash pension and postretirement curtailment
expense, $1.9 million of employee severance and special termination benefits and
$2.1 million for the non-cash write-down and accelerated depreciation of the
building and equipment. Rationalization charges recognized during 2007 were $0.2
million for employee severance and benefits and $0.4 million for the non-cash
write-down and accelerated depreciation of the building and equipment.
Additional charges of $3.6 million are expected through 2008. Cash expenditures
of $4.4 million are expected primarily in 2008.

Note 3. Rationalization Charges (continued)

2006 Rationalization Plans (continued)
- --------------------------

In October 2006, we approved and announced to employees a plan to exit our
Stockton, California metal food container manufacturing facility at the end of
the second quarter of 2007. The plan includes the termination or relocation of
approximately 110 employees and other related plant exit costs. We estimate
total rationalization charges for the plan of $4.0 million for employee
severance and benefits, $1.0 million for plant exit costs and $0.4 million for
the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. As of December 31, 2006, we
recognized $3.4 million for employee severance and benefits and $0.1 million for
the non-cash write down in carrying value of assets. Rationalization charges
recognized during 2007 were $0.3 million for employee severance and benefits and
$0.2 million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Additional
charges of $1.4 million are expected through 2007. Total cash payments of $5.0
million are expected to be expended through 2008. In addition, we expect to sell
the Stockton building in 2008 for estimated proceeds in excess of the net book
value of the facility.

Rationalization reserves are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets as follows:

revolving loans.

In March 2007, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate
notional principal amount of $25 million and Cdn $25 million to fix interest on
variable rate debt at 4.90 percent and 4.20 percent, respectively. These
interest rate swaps mature in March 2010, are accounted for as cash flow hedges
and are with a financial institution which is expected to fully perform under
the terms thereof.

At March 31, 2007, the aggregate notional principal amount of outstanding
interest rate swap agreements was $487 million, of which $127 million matures in
2007 (non-U.S. dollar agreements have been translated into U.S. dollars at
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date).

As previously disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006, based on current tax law, there are no minimum required contributions
to our pension plans in 2007. However, this is subject to change based on a
number of factors, including in the event that asset performance is
significantly below the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets. During
the first three months of 2007, we made no contributions to fund our pension
plans.

Note 8. Income Taxes

We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result, we
recognized an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.8
million, which was accounted for as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings at January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits as of January 1, 2007, including the cumulative effect of the adoption
of FIN No. 48, was $30.9 million, of which $15.8 million represented liabilities
that if recognized would impact the effective tax rate.

Holdings and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as
income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With limited
exceptions and due to the impact of net operating loss and other credit
carryforwards, we may be effectively subject to U.S. Federal income tax
examinations for periods after 1990. We are subject to examination by state and
local tax authorities generally for the period mandated by statute, with the
exception of states where waivers of the statute limitations have been executed.
These states and the earliest open period include Wisconsin (1995), Texas
(2001), New York (2001) and Indiana (2002). Our foreign subsidiaries are
generally not subject to examination by tax authorities for periods before 2001,
and we have contractual indemnities with third parties with respect to open
periods that predate our ownership of certain foreign subsidiaries. Subsequent
periods may be examined by the relevant tax authorities. The Internal Revenue
Service, or IRS, commenced an examination in the fourth quarter of 2006 of
Holdings' income tax return for the period ended December 31, 2004 which it
expects to complete in 2008. To date, the IRS has not raised any adjustments
that would result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized taxes as
additional tax expense. At December 31, 2006, we had $1.1 million accrued for
potential interest and penalties.


Note 9. Dividends

On March 19, 2007, we paid a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of
$0.16 per share, as approved by our Board of Directors. The cash payment for
this dividend totaled $6.1 million.

On May 8, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on
our common stock of $0.16 per share, payable on June 15, 2007 to holders of
record of our common stock on June 1, 2007. The cash payment for this dividend
is expected to be approximately $6.1 million.

Note 10. Treasury Stock

In the first quarter of 2007, we issued 16,560 treasury shares which had an
average cost of $13.25 per share for restricted stock units that vested during
the period. In accordance with the Silgan Holdings Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive
Plan, we repurchased 5,057 shares of our common stock at an average cost of
$48.19 to satisfy employee withholding tax requirements resulting from certain
restricted stock units becoming vested. We account for the treasury shares using
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. As of March 31, 2007, 5,324,563
shares were held in treasury.


Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation

We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect, under which we
have issued options and restricted stock units to our officers, other key
employees and outside directors. We apply the recognition and measurement
principles of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which requires recognition
of compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based
payment.

During the first three months of 2007, we granted 56,800 restricted stock units
to certain of our officers and key employees. These restricted stock units vest
ratably over a five-year period from the date of grant. The fair value of these
units at the date of grant was $2.8 million.

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, 2006 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
expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.


General

We are a leading manufacturer of metal and plastic consumer goods packaging
products. We produce steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food;
custom designed plastic containers, tubes and closures for personal care, health
care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, food, pet care,
agricultural chemical, automotive and marine chemical products; and metal,
composite and plastic vacuum closures for food and beverage products. We are the
largest manufacturer of metal food containers in North America, a leading
manufacturer of plastic containers in North America for a variety of markets,
including the personal care, health care, household and industrial chemical and
pet care markets, and a leading worldwide manufacturer of metal, composite and
plastic vacuum closures for food and beverage products.

Our objective is to increase shareholder value by efficiently deploying capital
and management resources to grow our business, reduce operating costs, build
sustainable competitive positions, or franchises, and to complete acquisitions
that generate attractive cash returns. We have grown our net sales and income
from operations over the years, largely through acquisitions but also through
internal growth, and we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the
consumer goods packaging market. However, in the absence of such acquisition
opportunities, we intend to use our cash flow to repay debt. If acquisition
opportunities are not identified over a longer period of time, we would consider
other permitted uses of our cash flow, such as repurchases of shares of our
common stock or increased dividends to our stockholders.

During 2006, we acquired the White Cap closures operations in Europe, Turkey,
China and the Philippines from Amcor. The majority of this acquisition was
completed in June 2006. In January 2007, we acquired the majority share of the
White Cap closures operations in Venezuela from Amcor. The acquisition of the
remaining White Cap closures operations in Brazil is subject to the satisfaction
of specified conditions as provided in the purchase agreement with Amcor. White
Cap is a leading supplier of an extensive range of vacuum closures to consumer
goods packaging companies in the food and beverage industries. White Cap has
been recombined with our previously acquired White Cap closures operations in
the United States to create a global leader in vacuum closures for hot filled
and retortable food and beverage products.

In December 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Cousins-Currie,
a leading manufacturer in Canada of larger-size custom designed plastic
containers.

Three  Months  Ended March 31, 2007  Compared  with Three Months Ended March 31,
2006

Overview. Consolidated net sales were $650.8 million in the first quarter of
2007, representing a 14.2 percent increase as compared to the first quarter of
2006 due primarily to the inclusion of the acquisitions completed in 2006 and
higher average selling prices in the metal food container business principally
resulting from the pass through of higher raw material and other inflationary
costs. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2007 of $62.1 million
increased by $22.5 million, or 56.8 percent, as compared to the same period in
2006 due to higher income from operations across each operating segment, largely
as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2006, continued benefits of cost
reductions and the contractual pass through of inflation in other manufacturing
costs and the benefits resulting from a provisional inventory build in the metal
food container business. Results for 2007 included rationalization charges of
$1.1 million in the metal food container business. Results for 2006 included a
rationalization charge of $2.2 million in the plastic container business. Net
income for the first quarter of 2007 was $28.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted
share, as compared to $17.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2006.

Net Sales. The $80.9 million increase in consolidated net sales in the first
quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 was the result of
higher net sales in both the metal food container and closures businesses.

Net sales for the metal food container business increased $10.8 million, or 3.2
percent, in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.
This increase was primarily attributable to higher average selling prices due to
the pass through of inflation in raw material and other manufacturing costs.

Net sales for the plastic container business in the first quarter of 2007
decreased $0.8 million, or 0.5 percent, as compared to the same period in 2006.
This decrease was primarily a result of lower average selling prices as a result
of the pass through to customers of lower raw material costs and the impact from
the rationalization of the Valencia, California manufacturing facility in the
second quarter of 2006, largely offset by the inclusion of sales from
Cousins-Currie.

Net sales for the closures business increased $70.9 million in the first quarter
of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily
attributable to the White Cap acquisition during 2006.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin increased 2.9 percentage points to 15.4
percent in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 for
the reasons discussed below in "Income from Operations."

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 0.5
percentage points to 5.7 percent for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to
5.2 percent for the same period in 2006, due primarily to the inclusion of the
international closures operations which incur such expenses at a higher
percentage of its sales than our other operations.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2007
increased by $22.5 million as compared to the first quarter of 2006 and
operating margin increased to 9.5 percent from 6.9 percent over the same
periods.



-18-
Income  from  operations  of the metal  food  container  business  for the first
quarter of 2007 increased $10.6 million, or 58.2 percent, as compared to the
same period in 2006, and operating margin increased to 8.3 percent from 5.4
percent over the same periods. The increase in income from operations and
operating margin was primarily due to improved manufacturing performance and
ongoing cost reduction initiatives, the lagged contractual pass through
beginning in the second half of 2006 of significant inflation in other
manufacturing costs and benefits derived from a provisional inventory build
during the quarter in advance of union contract negotiations and plant
rationalizations. We expect the benefits from the provisional inventory build
that began in the fourth quarter of 2006 and continued into the first quarter of
2007 to reverse in the latter half of 2007 as we utilize such inventory. Results
for 2007 also included rationalization charges of $1.1 million for the ongoing
elements of rationalizations of the St. Paul, Minnesota and Stockton, California
metal food container manufacturing facilities.

Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first quarter
of 2007 increased $6.0 million, or 43.5 percent, as compared to the same period
in 2006, and operating margin increased to 12.2 percent from 8.5 percent over
the same periods. These increases were primarily a result of continued cost
reductions including from the closing of the Valencia, California manufacturing
facility, the impact from the Cousins-Currie acquisition and rationalization
charges in 2006 of $2.2 million.

Income from operations of the closures business for the first quarter of 2007
increased $5.2 million, or 49.1 percent, as compared to the same period in 2006
due primarily to the inclusion of the international operations. Operating margin
for the first quarter of 2007 decreased to 11.1 percent from 14.7 percent for
the same period in 2006 due primarily to the inclusion of the international
operations, which generally incur selling, general and administrative expenses
at a higher percentage of sales as compared to the domestic operations.

Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the first
quarter of 2007 increased $4.8 million to $16.1 million as compared to the same
period in 2006. This increase resulted primarily from higher average borrowings
as a result of the 2006 acquisitions and the effects of higher market interest
rates.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash from operations and borrowings
under our debt instruments, including our Credit Agreement. 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, 2007, we used net borrowings of revolving
loans of $173.8 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.4 million
to fund cash used in operations of $22.1 million primarily for our seasonal
working capital needs, net capital expenditures of $37.5 million, our
acquisition of the White Cap operations in Venezuela of $7.8 million, net of
cash acquired, decreases in outstanding checks of $94.6 million and dividends
paid on our common stock of $6.1 million and to increase cash balances by $6.1
million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we used net borrowings of revolving
loans of $156.5 million and cash balances of $12.1 million to fund cash used in
operations of $44.5 million primarily for our seasonal working capital needs,
net capital expenditures of $26.7 million, decreases in outstanding checks of
$92.9 million and dividends paid on our common stock of $4.5 million.



-19-
Because we sell metal containers used in fruit and vegetable pack processing, we
have seasonal sales. As is common in the industry, we must utilize working
capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers
beyond the end of the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, we incur
short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements.

At March 31, 2007, we had $174.7 million of revolving loans outstanding under
the Credit Agreement. After taking into account outstanding letters of credit,
the available portion of the revolving loan facility under the Credit Agreement
at March 31, 2007 was $232.6 million. We may use the available portion of our
revolving loan facility, after taking into account our seasonal needs and
outstanding letters of credit, for acquisitions or other permitted purposes.
During 2007, we estimate that we will utilize approximately $275 - $325 million
of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement for our peak seasonal working
capital requirements.

On May 8, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our
common stock of $0.16 per share, payable on June 15, 2007 to holders of record
of our common stock on June 1, 2007. The cash payment for this dividend is
expected to be approximately $6.1 million.

We believe that cash generated from operations and funds from borrowings
available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our expected
operating needs, planned capital expenditures, debt service, tax obligations,
share repurchases required under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and common stock
dividends for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate acquisition
opportunities in the consumer goods packaging market and may incur additional
indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to finance any
such acquisition.

We are in compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in our
financing agreements and believe that we will continue to be in compliance
during 2007 with all of these covenants.

Rationalization Charges

In 2006, we announced our plans to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota and Stockton,
California metal food container manufacturing facilities. We expect to exit our
St. Paul facility in the third quarter of 2007. We incurred charges of $0.6
million in the first quarter of 2007 related to this facility rationalization
and expect to incur an additional $3.6 million of charges primarily related to
plant exit costs. We expect to exit our Stockton facility in the second quarter
of 2007. We incurred charges of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2007
related to this facility rationalization and expect to incur an additional $1.4
million of charges primarily related to plant exit costs.

Under our rationalization plans, we made cash payments of $0.3 million and $0.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total
future cash spending of $9.5 million is expected for our outstanding
rationalization plans.

You should also read Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report.

We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities in our business, including
rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and
downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that
generate attractive cash returns.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." FIN No. 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. We adopted FIN No.
48 on January 1, 2007. Our adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements. You should also read Note 8 to our
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31,
2007 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS
No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition for fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We
are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated
financial statements.


Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates and, with respect to our international closures operations and
our Canadian plastic container operations, from foreign currency exchange rates.
In the normal course of business, we also have limited 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, 2006. Since such filing, other than
as disclosed in Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report, there has not been a material change to our interest rate risk, foreign
currency exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk or to our policies and
procedures to manage our exposure to these risks.


Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
-----------------------

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon
that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material
information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report has been made
known to them in a timely fashion.



-21-
There were no changes in our internal  controls over financial  reporting during
the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls. We are
currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of
White Cap and Cousins-Currie into our internal controls over financial
reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will include
the internal controls and procedures of White Cap and Cousins-Currie in our
annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting for our 2007 fiscal year.
