NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at March 31, 2008 and 2007 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, 2007 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, 2007.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or 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 was effective for us on January 1, 2008. In February
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, No. 157-2, "Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157." FSP No. 157-2 delays the effective date of our adoption
of SFAS No. 157, as it relates to applying fair value measurements to
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or
disclosed on a recurring basis (at least annually), to January 1, 2009. We
adopted SFAS No. 157, as it relates to financial assets and financial
liabilities, on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a
significant effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157, as it relates
to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, will have on our
consolidated financial statements. See Note 7 for further information.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on
January 1, 2008. We have elected not to measure eligible items at fair value,
and therefore our adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.
141(R), "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental
requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for the
reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and
measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest at their fair values at the
acquisition date. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs
be recognized separately from the acquisition. SFAS No. 141(R) applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No.
141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 161 requires companies with
derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable
financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted
for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a
company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161
is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact,
if any, that SFAS No. 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Acquisition
In February 2008, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the metal
vacuum closures operations of Grup Vemsa 1857, S.L., or Vem, which had
manufacturing operations in Spain and China, for an aggregate purchase price of
$10.5 million. The acquisition of Vem was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.

2008 Rationalization Plans
--------------------------
In the first quarter of 2008 as part of our ongoing effort to streamline
operations and reduce costs, we approved plans to close our metal food container
manufacturing facility in Tarrant, Alabama and our plastic container
manufacturing facility in Richmond, Virginia and to consolidate certain
activities and administrative positions within our European closures operations.
Our plan to cease operations at our Tarrant facility in the third quarter of
2008 includes the termination of approximately 35 employees and other related
plant exit costs. We estimate that the total costs for the rationalization of
this facility will be $2.9 million. These costs include $0.7 million for
employee severance and benefits, $1.5 million for plant exit costs and $1.1
million for the acceleration of depreciation to write-down equipment for
abandonment upon the exit of the facility, offset by $0.4 million for a non-cash
curtailment gain for other postretirement benefits. Rationalization charges
recognized in the first quarter of 2008 for this action were $0.5 million, of
which $0.3 million was incurred for the accelerated depreciation of equipment
and $0.2 million was incurred for employee severance and benefits. Additional
charges of $2.4 million are expected through 2009. Cash payments of $2.2 million
are expected through 2009.

Note 3. Rationalization Charges (continued)
2008 Rationalization Plans (continued)
--------------------------
Our plan to cease operations at our Richmond facility in the third quarter of
2008 includes the termination of approximately 15 employees and other related
plant exit costs. We estimate that the total costs for the rationalization of
this facility will be $1.6 million. These costs include $0.2 million for
employee severance and benefits, $0.6 million for plant exit costs and $0.8
million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Rationalization
charges recognized in the first quarter of 2008 for this action were $0.8
million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Additional
charges of $0.8 million are expected primarily in 2008. Cash payments of $0.8
million are expected primarily in 2008.
Our plans to consolidate administrative functions and streamline operations at
certain of our closure manufacturing facilities in Europe include the
termination of approximately 90 employees and the relocation of certain
operations into existing facilities. These decisions resulted in a total charge
to earnings in the first quarter of 2008 of $2.6 million, which consisted of
$2.5 million for employee severance and benefits and $0.1 million for plant exit
costs. Additional charges of $0.8 million for employee severance and benefits
are expected during the remainder of 2008. Remaining cash payments of $2.7
million are expected primarily in 2008.
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. 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
$13.7 million. As of December 31, 2007, total charges of $12.5 million
recognized to date included $5.8 million of non-cash pension and postretirement
curtailment expense, $2.6 million for employee severance and special termination
benefits, $1.1 million for plant exit costs and $3.0 million for the non-cash
write-down and accelerated depreciation of the building and equipment.
Rationalization charges recognized during the first quarter of 2008 were $0.8
million for plant exit costs. We have ceased operations at this facility.
Additional charges of $0.4 million for plant exit costs are expected through
2008. Remaining cash payments of $1.5 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. 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
will be $5.5 million. As of December 31, 2007, we recognized rationalization
charges of $4.1 million for employee severance and benefits, $0.4 million for
the non-cash write down in carrying value of assets and $0.6 million for plant
exit costs. There were no charges recognized in the first quarter of 2008. We
have ceased operations at this facility. Additional charges of $0.4 million for
plant exit costs are expected through 2008. Remaining cash payments of $3.7
million are expected through 2009.

Note 6. Long-Term Debt (continued)
At March 31, 2008, amounts expected to be repaid within one year consisted of
$204.7 million of bank revolving loans related primarily to seasonal working
capital needs and $95.1 million of bank term loans under our senior secured
credit facility, or the Credit Agreement, $27.6 million of foreign bank
revolving and term loans and $3.0 million of other subordinated debt.
At March 31, 2008, the aggregate notional principal amount of outstanding
interest rate swap agreements was $352 million, of which $39 million matures in
2008 (non-U.S. dollar agreements have been translated into U.S. dollars at
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date).
Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
We adopted SFAS No. 157 as it relates to financial assets and financial
liabilities as of January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit
price). SFAS No. 157 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a
hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs
represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent
unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities
are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
The financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at
March 31, 2008 consist of our interest rate swap agreements. We measured the
fair value of the interest rate swap agreements using the income approach. The
fair value of these agreements reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay
based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market
interest rates. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within
Level 2.
At March 31, 2008, our interest rate swap agreements were valued at a net
liability of $4.0 million. There were no significant unrealized gains or losses
related to our interest rate swap agreements recognized in the first quarter of
2008.

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, 2007, based on current tax law, there are no material minimum required
contributions to our pension plans in 2008. 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 2008, we made no contributions to fund our pension
plans.
Note 9. Income Taxes
Holdings and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as
income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal
Revenue Service, or IRS, has commenced an examination of Holdings' income tax
return for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005. It is
reasonably possible that this IRS audit and IRS audits for prior periods will be
concluded within the next twelve months, and that the conclusion of these audits
may result in a significant change to our reported unrecognized tax benefits.
Due to the ongoing nature of these audits, we are unable to estimate the amount
of this potential impact.
Note 10. Dividends
On March 25, 2008, we paid a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of
$0.17 per share, as approved by our Board of Directors. The cash payment related
to this dividend totaled $6.5 million.
On May 7, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our
common stock of $0.17 per share, payable on June 13, 2008 to holders of record
of our common stock on May 30, 2008. The cash payment related to this dividend
is expected to be approximately $6.5 million.

Note 11. Treasury Stock
In the first quarter of 2008, we issued 28,020 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 8,399 shares of our common stock at an average cost of
$47.27 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, 2008, 5,282,214
shares were held in treasury.
Note 12. 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. During the first three months of 2008, we
granted 82,900 restricted stock units to certain of our officers and key
employees. The fair value of these restricted stock units at the date of grant
was $3.9 million, which is being amortized ratably over the five-year vesting
period from the date of grant.

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, 2007 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. If acquisition opportunities are not identified
over a longer period of time, we may use our cash flow to repay debt, repurchase
shares of our common stock or increase dividends to our stockholders or for
other permitted purposes.
In February 2008, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Vem, a
manufacturer of metal closures in Spain and China, for an aggregate purchase
price of $10.5 million. In April 2008, we acquired the White Cap closures
operation in Brazil, thereby concluding our acquisition of the White Cap
closures operations from Amcor Limited.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
2007
Overview. Consolidated net sales were $679.8 million in the first quarter of
2008, representing a 4.5 percent increase as compared to the first quarter of
2007 primarily as a result of higher average selling prices across all
businesses largely attributable to the pass through of higher raw material and
other manufacturing costs and favorable foreign currency translation, partially
offset by lower unit volumes in the metal food container business. Income from
operations for the first quarter of 2008 of $49.8 million decreased by $12.3
million, or 19.8 percent, as compared to the same period in 2007 due to higher
rationalization charges incurred in the first quarter of 2008, benefits
impacting the first quarter of 2007 from the provisional inventory build of
metal food containers and the benefit in the first quarter of 2007 due to the
lagged pass through of declines in resin costs in the plastic container
business. Results for 2008 included rationalization charges of $4.7 million.
Results for 2007 included rationalization charges of $1.1 million. Net income
for the first quarter of 2008 was $21.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, as
compared to $28.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the same period in
2007.
Net Sales. The $29.0 million increase in consolidated net sales in the first
quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 was the result of
higher net sales across all businesses and favorable foreign currency
translation of approximately $14.5 million.
Net sales for the metal food container business increased $5.6 million, or 1.6
percent, in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.
This increase was primarily attributable to higher average selling prices due to
the pass through of higher raw material and other manufacturing costs, partially
offset by lower unit volumes.
Net sales for the plastic container business in the first quarter of 2008
increased $9.8 million, or 6.0 percent, as compared to the same period in 2007.
This increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices as a result of
the pass through of higher raw material costs and the impact of favorable
foreign currency translation of approximately $5.2 million.
Net sales for the closures business increased $13.6 million, or 9.5 percent, in
the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. This increase
was primarily the result of favorable foreign currency translation of
approximately $9.3 million, higher average selling prices due to the pass
through of higher raw material costs and an increase in unit volumes in the
domestic closure operations, partially offset by a less favorable mix of
products sold.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margin decreased 2.2 percentage points to 13.2
percent in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 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 decreased 0.5
percentage points to 5.2 percent for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to
5.7 percent for the same period in 2007, due primarily to the recognition in
2008 of management fee income of $2.2 million from the management of the
Brazilian White Cap closures operation during the delayed closing period up
until it was acquired from Amcor Limited.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for the first quarter of 2008
decreased by $12.3 million as compared to the first quarter of 2007, and
operating margin decreased to 7.3 percent from 9.5 percent over the same
periods.
-19-
Income from operations of the metal food container business for the first
quarter of 2008 decreased $3.7 million, or 12.8 percent, as compared to the same
period in 2007, and operating margin decreased to 7.1 percent from 8.3 percent
over the same periods. These declines were primarily a result of benefits
derived in the first quarter of 2007 from a provisional inventory build in
anticipation of certain union negotiations which were completed later in 2007,
lower unit volumes and higher depreciation expense as a result of higher capital
spending in 2007, partly offset by the benefits attributable to the closing of
the St. Paul, Minnesota and Stockton, California manufacturing facilities,
general cost reductions and improved manufacturing efficiencies. The first
quarter of 2008 included total rationalization charges of $1.3 million related
to ongoing costs to exit the St. Paul manufacturing facility as well as initial
costs incurred for the shutdown of the Tarrant, Alabama manufacturing facility.
The first quarter of 2007 included rationalization charges of $1.1 million
related to costs to exit the St. Paul and Stockton manufacturing facilities.
Income from operations of the plastic container business for the first quarter
of 2008 decreased $7.2 million, or 36.4 percent, as compared to the same period
in 2007, and operating margin decreased to 7.3 percent from 12.2 percent over
the same periods. These decreases were primarily a result of the negative effect
from the timing of the pass through of resin costs to customers particularly in
light of escalating resin costs experienced in the first quarter of 2008 as
compared to declines in resin costs experienced in the first quarter of 2007,
rationalization charges of $0.8 million related to the shutdown of the Richmond,
Virginia manufacturing facility and higher depreciation expense.
Income from operations of the closures business for the first quarter of 2008
decreased $1.3 million, or 8.2 percent, as compared to the same period in 2007,
and operating margin decreased to 9.3 percent from 11.1 percent over the same
periods. These decreases were due primarily to rationalization charges of $2.6
million recognized in the first quarter of 2008 related to the streamlining of
certain operations and consolidation of various administrative positions in
Europe as well as the benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2007 of $1.4
million from the sale of certain previously leased capping equipment, partially
offset by management fee income of $2.2 million from the pre-acquisition
management of the Brazilian White Cap closures operation.
Interest and Other Debt Expense. Interest and other debt expense for the first
quarter of 2008 increased $0.2 million to $16.3 million as compared to the same
period in 2007. This increase resulted primarily from higher average borrowings,
largely offset by lower 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, 2008, we used net borrowings of revolving
loans of $205.6 million, debt borrowings of $8.0 million and net proceeds from
stock-based compensation issuances of $0.6 million to fund cash used in
operations of $14.6 million primarily for our seasonal working capital needs,
net capital expenditures of $23.6 million, our acquisition of Vem for $10.5
million, decreases in outstanding checks of $85.8 million and dividends paid on
our common stock of $6.5 million and to increase cash balances by $73.2 million.
At the end of 2007 and through the first quarter of 2008 in light of the current
credit markets, we maintained a significant amount of cash, increasing our cash
balances at March 31, 2008 to $169.2 million.
-20-
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used net borrowings of revolving
loans of $173.8 million and net proceeds from stock-based compensation issuances
of $0.6 million to fund cash used in operations of $22.3 million primarily for
our seasonal working capital needs, net capital expenditures of $37.5 million,
our acquisition of the White Cap operations in Venezuela for $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.
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, 2008, we had $204.7 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, 2008 was $202.3 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 2008, we estimate that we will utilize approximately $300 - $350 million
of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement for our peak seasonal working
capital requirements.
On May 7, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our
common stock of $0.17 per share, payable on June 13, 2008 to holders of record
of our common stock on May 30, 2008. The cash payment related to this dividend
is expected to be approximately $6.5 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 2008 with all of these covenants.
Rationalization Charges
In the first quarter of 2008, as part of our ongoing effort to streamline
operations and reduce costs, we approved plans to close our metal food container
manufacturing facility in Tarrant, Alabama and our plastic container
manufacturing facility in Richmond, Virginia and to consolidate certain
activities and administrative positions within our European closures operations.
Our plan to cease operations at our Tarrant facility in the third quarter of
2008 includes the termination of approximately 35 employees and other related
plant exit costs. We estimate that the total costs for the rationalization of
this facility will be $2.9 million. These costs include $0.7 million for
employee severance and benefits, $1.5 million for plant exit costs and $1.1
million for the acceleration of depreciation to write-down equipment for
abandonment upon the exit of the facility, offset by $0.4 million for a non-cash
curtailment gain for other postretirement benefits. Rationalization charges
recognized in the first quarter of 2008 for this action were $0.5 million, of
which $0.3 million was incurred for the accelerated depreciation of equipment
and $0.2 million was incurred for employee severance and benefits. Additional
charges of $2.4 million are expected through 2009. Cash payments of $2.2 million
are expected through 2009.
-21-
Our plan to cease operations at our Richmond facility in the third quarter of
2008 includes the termination of approximately 15 employees and other related
plant exit costs. We estimate that the total costs for the rationalization of
this facility will be $1.6 million. These costs include $0.2 million for
employee severance and benefits, $0.6 million for plant exit costs and $0.8
million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Rationalization
charges recognized in the first quarter of 2008 for this action were $0.8
million for the non-cash write-down in carrying value of assets. Additional
charges of $0.8 million are expected primarily in 2008. Cash payments of $0.8
million are expected primarily in 2008.
Our plans to consolidate administrative functions and streamline operations at
certain of our closure manufacturing facilities in Europe include the
termination of approximately 90 employees and the relocation of certain
operations into existing facilities. These decisions resulted in a total charge
to earnings in the first quarter of 2008 of $2.6 million, which consisted of
$2.5 million for employee severance and benefits and $0.1 million for plant exit
costs. Additional charges of $0.8 million for employee severance and benefits
are expected during the remainder of 2008. Remaining cash payments of $2.7
million are expected primarily in 2008.
In 2006, we announced our plans to exit our St. Paul, Minnesota and Stockton,
California metal food container manufacturing facilities. We have ceased
operations at both of these facilities. We incurred charges of $0.8 million in
the first quarter of 2008 related to the St. Paul rationalization. We expect to
incur additional charges of $0.8 million for plant exit costs through 2008
related to the St. Paul and Stockton rationalizations.
Under our rationalization plans, we made cash payments of $2.0 million and $0.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total
future cash spending of $10.9 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, 2008 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 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 was effective for us on January 1, 2008.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157." FSP No. 157-2 delays the effective date of our adoption of
SFAS No. 157, as it relates to applying fair value measurements to nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed on a
recurring basis (at least annually), to January 1, 2009. We adopted SFAS No.
157, as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities, on January 1,
2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a significant effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are currently
evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157, as it relates to nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities, will have on our consolidated financial
statements. You should also read Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report.
-22-
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on
January 1, 2008. We have elected not to measure eligible items at fair value,
and therefore our adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations." SFAS
No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an
acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141(R)
establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business
combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements
of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any
non-controlling interest at their fair values at the acquisition date. SFAS No.
141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately
from the acquisition. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We
are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our
consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 161 requires companies with
derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable
financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted
for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a
company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161
is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact,
if any, that SFAS No. 161 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 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, 2007. Since such filing 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.
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.
