                              GPC CAPITAL CORP. II
               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of GPC
Capital Corp. II have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting only of usual recurring adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation) are reflected in the condensed
financial statements.

         GPC Capital Corp. II, a wholly owned subsidiary of Graham Packaging
Holdings Company, a Pennsylvania limited partnership ("Holdings"), was
incorporated in Delaware in January 1998. All entities and assets owned by
Holdings are referred to collectively as the "Company." The sole purpose of GPC
Capital Corp. II is to act as co-obligor with Holdings of the Senior Discount
Notes and as co-guarantor with Holdings under the Senior Credit Agreement and
Amendments (as defined herein). GPC Capital Corp. II has only nominal assets,
does not conduct any independent operations and during the nine months ended
September 29, 2002, did not execute any transactions. GPC Capital Corp. II has
authorized and issued 1,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.01 per
share.

         For additional information, see the related Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q of Holdings for the quarter ended September 29, 2002.


2.  Debt Arrangements

         On February 2, 1998, Holdings and GPC Capital Corp. II, as
co-obligor, issued $100.6 million gross proceeds of Senior Discount Notes Due
2009 ($169 million aggregate principal amount at maturity). The Senior Discount
Notes mature on January 15, 2009, with interest payable at 10.75%. Cash interest
on the Senior Discount Notes does not accrue until January 15, 2003.

         The Operating Company's Senior Credit Agreement currently consists of
four term loans to the Operating Company with initial term loan commitments
totaling $570 million and two revolving loan facilities to the Operating Company
totaling $255 million. The obligations of the Operating Company under the Senior
Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain other subsidiaries of
Holdings. The term loans are payable in quarterly installments through January
31, 2007, and require payments of $25.0 million in 2002, $27.5 million in 2003,
$93.0 million in 2004, $64.9 million in 2005 and $242.7 million in 2006. The
Operating Company expects to fund scheduled dept repayments from cash from
operations and unused lines of credit. The revolving loan facilities expire on
January 31, 2004.


3. Postponed Equity Offering and Concurrent Transactions

         During the three months ended June 30, 2002, Holdings announced that it
was pursuing an initial public equity offering. In connection with the offering,
Holdings planned to effect an internal reorganization in which GPC Capital Corp.
II would change its name to Graham Packaging Company Inc., exchange shares of
newly-issued common stock for all of the partnership interests of Holdings and
exchange options to purchase partnership interests in Holdings for options to
purchase shares of Graham Packaging Company Inc. In connection with the
proposed offering, Graham Packaging Company, L.P. and GPC Capital Corp. I,
subsidiaries of Holdings, announced their proposed offering of $100 million
aggregate principal amount of 8 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2008, and GPC
Capital Corp. II commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation for all $169
million aggregate principal amount of Senior Discount Notes due 2009 co-issued
by it and Holdings. On July 23, 2002 Holdings announced that it had postponed
its plans for the initial public equity offering due to the recent adverse
conditions in the stock market. In connection with the postponement of the
initial public equity offering, Holdings also postponed the proposed senior
subordinated notes offering and GPC Capital Corp. II terminated its tender offer
and consent solicitation.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
harbor" for certain "forward-looking statements." This Form 10-Q includes
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the
Exchange Act"). All statements other than historical facts included in this
Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements regarding the
Company's future financial position, business strategy, anticipated capital
expenditures, anticipated business acquisitions, projected costs and plans and
objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.
In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "believe," or "continue" or the negative thereof or
variations thereon or similar terminology. Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,
the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been
correct.

         All entities and assets owned by Holdings are referred to
collectively as the "Company."

         (a)    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

                The Company's principal executive officer and principal
                financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the
                Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
                Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of a date
                within ninety days before the filing date of this report, have
                concluded that as of such date the Company's disclosure
                controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure
                that material information relating to GPC Capital Corp. II
                would be made known to them by others within the company.


         (b)    Changes in Internal Controls

                There were no significant changes in the Company's internal
                controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
                GPC Capital Corp. II's disclosure controls and procedures
                subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were there any
                significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in GPC Capital
                Corp. II's internal controls. As a result, no corrective
                actions were required or undertaken.
