Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         All of CapCo II's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("common
stock"), is owned by Holdings, whose address is 2401 Pleasant Valley Road, York,
Pennsylvania 17402. There is no established public trading market for CapCo II's
common stock.

         In 1998, CapCo II issued 1,000 shares of common stock to Holdings in a
transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         As indicated under Item 1, "Business -- The Recapitalization," upon the
Closing of the Recapitalization in 1998, the Holdings Issuers consummated an
offering of $169.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of their 10
3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2009, Series B.

         No dividends were paid to the holder of CapCo II's common stock in
2003.

         Under the Senior Credit Agreement, the Operating Company is subject to
restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to Holdings, as
described in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         In 1998, Holdings and CapCo II, as co-obligor, issued $100.6 million
gross proceeds of Senior Discount Notes Due 2009 ($169.0 million aggregate
principal amount at maturity).

         The Senior Discount Notes mature on January 15, 2009, with cash
interest payable semi-annually beginning July 15, 2003 at 10.75%.

         The Operating Company's Senior Credit Agreement currently consists of a
term loan to the Operating Company with an initial term loan commitment totaling
$570.0 million and a revolving loan facility to the Operating Company totaling
$150.0 million. The obligations of the Operating Company under the Senior Credit
Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain other subsidiaries of Holdings.
The term loan is payable in quarterly installments and requires payments of $4.0
million in 2004, $20.0 million in 2005, $45.0 million in 2006, $45.0 million in
2007, $200.0 million in 2008, $200.0 million in 2009 and $54.0 million in 2010.
The Operating Company expects to fund scheduled debt repayments from cash from
operations and unused lines of credit. The revolving loan facility expires on
the earlier of February 14, 2008 and the term loan maturity date.

         The Senior Credit Agreement contains a number of significant covenants
that, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets,
repay other indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, prepay
subordinated indebtedness, incur liens, make capital expenditures, investments
or acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in transactions
with affiliates and otherwise restrict the Company's activities. Substantially
all of the Operating Company's domestic tangible and intangible assets are
pledged as collateral pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement.

Packaging Company ("Holdings"). 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 (as defined herein). GPC Capital
Corp. II has only nominal assets, does not conduct any operations and did not
receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Discount Notes.

2.       Debt Arrangements

         In 1998, Holdings and GPC Capital Corp. II, as co-obligor, issued
$100.6 million gross proceeds of Senior Discount Notes Due 2009 ($169.0 million
aggregate principal amount at maturity) (the "Senior Discount Notes). The Senior
Discount Notes mature on January 15, 2009, with cash interest payable
semi-annually beginning July 15, 2003 at 10.75%.

         On February 14, 2003 Graham Packaging Company, L.P. (the "Operating
Company"), Holdings, GPC Capital Corp. I and a syndicate of lenders entered into
a senior credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement"). The Senior Credit
Agreement currently consists of a term loan to the Operating Company with an
initial term loan commitment totaling $570.0 million and a revolving loan
facility to the Operating Company totaling $150.0 million. The obligations of
the Operating Company under the Senior Credit Agreement are guaranteed by
Holdings and certain other subsidiaries of Holdings. The term loan is payable in
quarterly installments and requires payments of $4.0 million in 2004, $20.0
million in 2005, $45.0 million in 2006, $45.0 million in 2007, $200.0 million in
2008, $200.0 million in 2009 and $54.0 million in 2010. The revolving loan
facility expires on the earlier of February 14, 2008 and the term loan maturity
date. On February 25, 2004 the Senior Credit Agreement was amended to permit an
interest rate coupon reduction on the Company's term loan. Interest is payable
at (a) the "Alternate Base Rate" (the higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal
Funds Rate plus 0.50%) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.75%; or (b) the
"Eurodollar Rate" (the applicable interest rate offered to banks in the London
interbank eurocurrency market) plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75%. A
commitment fee of 0.50% is due on the unused portion of the revolving loan
commitment. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement contains certain
affirmative and negative covenants as to the operations and financial condition
of the Company, as well as certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and
other distributions to Holdings. As of December 31, 2003 the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

     (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 the end of the period covered by 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.

                                     PART IV

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

         Pursuant to Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X, since CapCo II is an inactive
registrant, it is not required to have its financial statements audited. As a
result, CapCo II has not engaged independent accountants to perform audit
services for it in the past two fiscal years, so it has not been billed for fees
in connection with audit or audit-related services in the last two fiscal years.
Furthermore, CapCo II has not retained any accountants to perform any tax or
other services for it in the past two fiscal years, and as a result it also has
not been billed for fees by any accountant for tax or other services during that
time.

     (a) The following Financial Statement Schedules are included herein:

         None.

         All other schedules are not submitted because they are not applicable
