ITEM 1.   BUSINESS.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

         Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("Anchor" "New Anchor" or the
"Company") is the third largest manufacturer of glass containers in the United
States. Anchor produces a diverse line of flint (clear), amber, green and other
colored glass containers of various types, designs and sizes. The Company
manufactures and sells its products to many of the leading producers of beer,
liquor, food, juice, tea, soda and mineral water.

         The Company, a majority-owned subsidiary of Consumers Packaging Inc.
("Consumers"), was formed in January 1997 to acquire certain assets and assume
certain liabilities of the former Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("Old
Anchor"), now Anchor Resolution Corp., which was a debtor-in-possession under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the
"Bankruptcy Code"). The Company purchased eleven operating glass container
manufacturing facilities and other related assets (the "Anchor Acquisition").
Prior to the Anchor Acquisition on February 5, 1997, the Company did not conduct
any operations. Consumers, Canada's only glass container manufacturer, currently
owns approximately 59% of New Anchor indirectly on a fully diluted basis.
Consumers U.S., Inc. ("Consumers U.S.") was also formed in January 1997 by
Consumers as a holding company for Anchor. Old Anchor was formed by members of
the management of the Glass Container Division of Anchor Hocking Corporation
(the "Glass Container Division") and persons associated with Wesray Corporation
to carry out the leveraged acquisition in 1983 of the business and certain of
the assets of the Glass Container Division. Old Anchor acquired Midland Glass
Company, Inc. in 1984 and Diamond Bathurst, Inc. in 1987.

         In November 1989, Vitro S.A. ("Vitro") acquired substantially all of
the stock of Old Anchor. Simultaneously, Vitro acquired all of the stock of
Latchford Glass Company, which was subsequently merged into Old Anchor. In
September 1996, Old Anchor filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         The Anchor Acquisition. The purchase price paid by the Company for the
Anchor Acquisition is subject to adjustment. On June 13, 1997, Old Anchor
delivered to the Company the closing balance sheet, which indicated that Old
Anchor believed that it was entitled to additional payments totaling
approximately $76.3 million from the Company and Owens Brockway Glass Container
Inc. ("Owens"), who together with New Anchor, acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities from Old Anchor. On July 28, 1997, the
Company delivered its notice of disagreement to Old Anchor, which requested a
reduction of the purchase price of approximately $96.8 million. Since that time,
the parties have been negotiating the amount of the adjustment, and have reached
a proposed settlement (the "Proposed Settlement"). The Proposed Settlement
requires the payment by the Company to Old Anchor of an additional $1.0 million
in cash and the issuance of 1,225,000 warrants to purchase additional shares of
common stock, together valued at approximately $7.1 million, recorded as an
adjustment to goodwill. In addition, the Company will issue 525,000 warrants to
purchase additional shares of common stock to an affiliate of Consumers U.S.,
valued at approximately $2.6 million, recorded as an expense. None of the
warrants to be issued will require any payment upon exercise. The effect of the
Proposed Settlement has been reflected in the financial statements for the
period ended December 31, 1997. The Proposed Settlement is subject to final
approval of the Company, Old Anchor and the bankruptcy court.

         The First Mortgage Notes and Exchange Offer. On April 17, 1997, Anchor
issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 11 1/4% First Mortgage
Notes due 2005 (the "First



                                       2
<PAGE>   3

Mortgage Notes") and used a portion of the net proceeds therefrom to repay all
amounts outstanding under the $130.0 million loan facility, (the "Anchor Loan
Facility") and advances outstanding under the $110.0 million revolving credit
facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Upon the effectiveness of its
registration statement on Form S-4, the Company commenced an offer to exchange
the First Mortgage Notes for a like principal amount of new 11 1/4% First
Mortgage Notes due 2005. The exchange offer expires March 30, 1998.

         The Senior Note Offering. In March 1998, the Company issued $50.0
million aggregate principal amount of its 9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2008 (the
"Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations ranking pari
passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of
the Company. Proceeds of the offering will be used for capital expenditures
necessary to meet customer needs and general corporate purposes.

PRODUCTS

         The table below provides a summary by product group of net sales (in
millions of dollars) and approximate percentage of net sales by product group
for Old Anchor for the years 1995 and 1996 and for the Company for the period
from February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997.

</TABLE>

         There can be no assurance that the information provided in the
preceding table is indicative of the glass container product mix of the Company
for 1998 or in subsequent years. Management's strategy is to focus on shifting
its product mix towards those products management believes likely to both
improve operating results and increase unit volume.

CUSTOMERS

         The Company produces glass containers mainly for a broad base of
customers in the food and beverage industries in the United States. The
Company's ten largest continuing customers include well-known brand names such
as The Stroh Brewery Company ("Stroh's"), Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
("Anheuser-Busch"), Latrobe (Rolling Rock), The Coca-Cola Trading Company
(non-carbonated), PepsiCo, Inc., Triarc Mistic, Saxco International, Inc.,
Specialty Products Company (Nabisco), Jim Beam Brands and Hunt-Wesson. The
majority of the Company's glass container designs are produced to customer
specifications and sold on a contract basis.

         The Company's two largest customers, Stroh's and Anheuser-Busch,
accounted for approximately 15.6% and 8.8% of its net sales for the period from
February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997, respectively. The loss of either of such
customers could have a material adverse effect of the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition. The Company's ten largest
customers, named above, accounted for approximately 45% of net sales for the
period from February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997.

         Anchor has entered into a contract with Stroh's to become the exclusive
producer of all glass beer containers for Stroh's product in the United States.
In addition, following the Anchor


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

Acquisition, the Company secured a purchase order with Anheuser-Busch to produce
approximately 4.0 million gross during 1997, which represented approximately
12.0% of the Company's 1997 volume. For 1998, Anchor has secured another
purchase order with Anheuser-Busch to produce, subject to Anheuser-Busch's
requirements, approximately 9.9 million gross, which represents approximately
25% of the Company's 1998 volume under contract. During 1996, Anheuser-Busch
substantially reduced its purchases from Old Anchor to 6.8 million gross and,
before the Anchor Acquisition, had indicated its intention to further decrease
its business with Old Anchor after 1996. Anheuser-Busch renegotiates with the
Company each year for the next year's purchase orders. Accordingly, past
purchase orders placed by Anheuser-Busch are not necessarily indicative of
future purchase orders.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

         The Company's products are primarily marketed by an internal sales and
marketing organization that consists of 13 direct sales people and 27 business
managers who are organized into teams with responsibility for each specific
product line. Old Anchor's sales force was principally compensated based on
increase of sales volume without regard to margin. Management has implemented a
sales compensation program based on improving margin at the plant level as well
as increases in sales volume. In addition, Mr. Ghaznavi has extensive industry
and customer networks. From 1995 through 1997, he served as Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Glass Packaging Institute, the leading industry
organization that includes as its members manufacturers representing over 95% of
North America's glass container production and he remains a member of its board.
As a result of the Company's affiliation with Consumers and Glenshaw Glass
Company, Inc. ("Glenshaw"), Consumers and Glenshaw sales personnel will also
market the capabilities of Anchor with respect to certain production in exchange
for a market-based commission. See Item 13. - Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions.

         Certain production has been and will continue to be reallocated among
the Company's ongoing plants in order to maximize machine capability and
geographic proximity to customers. In addition, Anchor intends to capitalize on
its affiliation with Consumers, with certain U.S. customers formerly served by
Consumers having their production shifted to U.S.-based Anchor facilities closer
to such customers and certain Canadian customers formerly served by Anchor
having their production shifted to Canadian-based Consumers facilities closer to
such customers, in each case in exchange for a market-based commission payable
to the entity shifting its existing production or responsible for the new
business. With reduced shipping distances as a result of this reallocation of
production, Anchor believes it will be able to reduce shipping time to
customers, decrease levels of breakage incurred in shipping product over longer
distance and improve efficiency at its plants resulting in faster and higher
quality production and service for its customers.

SEASONALITY

         Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and
other beverage industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months,
the Company's shipment volume is expected to be higher in the second and third
quarters. Consequently, the Company normally builds inventory during the first
quarter in anticipation of seasonal demands during the second and third
quarters. Historically, the Company has scheduled shutdowns of its plants for
furnace rebuilds and machine repairs in the first and fourth quarters of the
year to coincide with scheduled holiday and vacation time under its labor union
contracts. These shutdowns adversely affect profitability during the first and
fourth quarters. The Company is reviewing alternatives to reduce downtime during
these periods in order to minimize disruption to the production process and its
negative effect on profitability.



                                       4

SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS

         Sand, soda ash, limestone, cullet and corrugated packaging materials
are the principal materials used by the Company. All of these materials are
available from a number of suppliers and the Company is not dependent upon any
single supplier for any of these materials. Management believes that adequate
quantities of these materials are and will be available from various suppliers.
Material increases in the cost of any of these items could have a significant
impact on the Company's operating results.

         All of the Company's glass melting furnaces are equipped to burn
natural gas, which is the primary fuel used at its manufacturing facilities.
Backup systems are in place at most facilities to permit the use of fuel oil or
propane should that become necessary. Electricity is used in certain instances
for supplementary melting. Although natural gas remains generally less expensive
than electricity, prices for natural gas have fluctuated in recent years, with
significant increases in 1993, declines in 1994, and moderate increases, after
some significant fluctuations, in 1995, 1996 and 1997. While certain of these
energy sources may become increasingly in short supply, or subject to
governmental allocation or excise taxes, the Company cannot predict the effects,
if any, of such events on its future operations. In addition, the Company
utilizes a natural gas risk management program to hedge future requirements and
to minimize fluctuation in the price of natural gas.

COMPETITION

         The glass container industry is a mature, low growth industry. This low
growth combined with excess capacity in the industry have made pricing an
important competitive factor. In addition to price, Anchor and the other
companies in the glass container manufacturing industry compete on the basis of
quality, reliability of delivery and general customer service. The Company's
principal competitors are Owens and Ball-Foster Glass Container Co., L.L.C.
("Ball-Foster"). These competitors are larger and have greater financial and
other resources than the Company. The glass container industry in the United
States is highly concentrated, with the three largest producers in 1997, which
included Anchor, estimated to have accounted for 94% of 1997 domestic volume by
management's estimate. Owens has a relatively large research and development
staff and has in place numerous technology licensing agreements with other glass
producers, including the Company. See "--Intellectual Property."

         The Company's business consists exclusively of the manufacture and sale
of glass containers. Certain other glass container manufacturers engage in more
diversified business activities than the Company (including the manufacture and
sales of plastic and metal containers). In addition, plastics and other forms of
alternative packaging have made substantial inroads into the container markets
in recent years and will continue to affect demand for glass container products.
According to industry sources, unit sales in the U.S. glass container
manufacturing industry in 1996 were down 2.1% from 1995. The compound annual
decline in unit shipments from 1991 to 1996 was approximately 1.5%. Competitive
pressures from alternative forms of packaging, including plastics, as well as
consolidation in the glass container industry, have resulted in excess capacity
and have led to severe pricing pressures on glass container manufacturers.
Further, management believes that consistent productivity improvements among
glass and glass alternatives can be expected to decrease capacity utilization
rates for the industry or result in additional plant closures.

         While competitive pressures from plastics are expected to remain
intense, management has identified several product segments where it believes
that there are still growth opportunities. In general, management believes that
the beer segment provides stronger potential for growth than the food segment
which has seen declines of over 7.0% in each of 1995 and 1996. In particular,
sales of glass beer containers, were up approximately 3.7% in 1997 and have
experienced comparable growth rates over the past five years. Glass beer bottles
are also



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

expected to continue to benefit from consumer preferences for a more
sophisticated appearing container.

QUALITY CONTROL

         The Company maintains a program of quality control with respect to
suppliers, line performance and packaging integrity for glass containers. The
Company's production lines are equipped with a variety of automatic and
electronic devices that inspect containers for dimensional conformity, flaws in
the glass and various other performance attributes. Additionally, products are
sample inspected and tested by Company employees on the production line for
dimensions and performance and are also inspected and audited after packaging.
Containers which do not meet quality standards are crushed and recycled as
cullet.

         The Company monitors and updates its inspection programs to keep pace
with modern technologies and customer demands. The Company maintains its own
laboratory where samples of glass and raw materials from its plants are
routinely chemically and electronically analyzed to monitor compliance with
quality standards. Laboratories are also maintained at each manufacturing
facility to test various physical characteristics of products.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

         Pursuant to a Technology Assistance and License Agreement between Owens
and Consumers, the Company is entitled to use patents, trade secrets and other
technical information of Owens relating to glass manufacturing technology. The
agreement, entered into in February 1997, provides for a term of up to ten
years.

         While the Company holds various patents, trademarks and copyrights of
its own, it believes its business is not dependent upon any one of such patents,
trademarks or copyrights.

EMPLOYEES

         As of March 15, 1998, the Company employed approximately 3,000 persons
on a full-time basis. Approximately 500 of these employees are salaried office,
supervisory and sales personnel. The remaining employees are represented
principally by two unions, Glass Molders, Pottery, Plastics and Allied Workers
(the "GMP"), which represents approximately 90% of the Company's hourly
employees, and the American Flint Glass Workers Union (the "AFGWU"), which
represents approximately 10% of the Company's hourly employees. The Company's
two labor contracts with the GMP and its two labor contracts with the AFGWU have
three year terms expiring on March 31, 1999 and August 31, 1999, respectively.
Old Anchor was granted a deferral of the scheduled 1996 wage increase under its
collective bargaining agreements. The Company granted the 1996 increase
effective as of the date of the Anchor Acquisition, and the 1997 increase
effective as of April 1, 1997. These two increases represent an approximate 7%
increase in wage rates as of April 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 wage rates.

         Old Anchor had not experienced a work stoppage since an industry-wide
strike in 1968. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

         Environmental Regulation and Compliance. The Company's operations are
subject to increasingly complex and detailed Federal, state and local laws and
regulations including, but not limited to, the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act of 1972, as amended, the U.S. Clean Air Act, as amended, and the Federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, that are designed to protect
the environment. Among the activities subject to regulation are the disposal of
checker slag (furnace residue usually removed during furnace rebuilds), the
disposal of


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
furnace bricks containing chromium, the disposal of waste, the discharge of
water used to clean machines and cooling water, dust produced by the batch
mixing process, underground storage tanks and, air emissions produced by
furnaces. In addition, the Company is required to obtain and maintain permits in
connection with its operations. Many environmental laws and regulations provide
for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. The Company
believes it is in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations. It is difficult to predict the future development of such laws and
regulations or their impact on future earnings and operations, but the Company
anticipates that these standards will continue to require increased capital
expenditures. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will
not be incurred.

         Certain environmental laws, such as the U.S. Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA" or Superfund")
and analogous State laws provide for strict, joint and several liability for
investigation and remediation of releases of hazardous substances into the
environment. Such laws may apply to properties presently or formerly owned or
operated by an entity or its predecessors, as well as to conditions at
properties at which wastes attributable to an entity or its predecessors were
disposed. There can be no assurance that the Company or entities for which it
may be responsible will not incur such liability in a manner that could have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

         Employee Health and Safety Regulations. The Company's operations are
subject to a variety of worker safety laws. The U.S. Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 ("OSHA") and analogous laws mandate general requirements for
safe workplaces for all employees. The Company believes that it is operating in
material compliance with applicable employees health and safety laws.

         Deposit and Recycling Legislation. In recent years, legislation has
been introduced at the Federal, state and local levels that would require a
deposit or tax, or impose other restrictions, on the sales or use of certain
containers, particularly beer and carbonated soft drink containers. To date, 10
states have enacted some form of deposit legislation, although no such new
legislation has been enacted since 1986. The enactment of additional laws or
comparable administrative actions that would require a deposit on beer or soft
drink containers, or otherwise restrict their use, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. In jurisdictions where deposit legislation has
been enacted, the consumption of beverages in glass bottles has generally
declined due largely to the preference of retailers for handling returned cans
and plastic bottles. Container deposit legislation continues to be considered
from time to time at various governmental levels.

         In lieu of this type of deposit legislation, several states have
enacted various anti-littering recycling laws that do not involve the return of
containers to retailers. The use of recycled glass, and recycling in general,
are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

         The Company's administrative and executive offices are located in
Tampa, Florida. The Company owns and operates nine glass manufacturing plants.
The Company also leases a building located in Streator, Illinois, that is used
as a machine shop to rebuild glass-forming related machinery and one mold shop
located in Zanesville, Ohio, as well as additional warehouses for finished
products in various cities throughout the United States. Substantially all of
the Company's owned and leased properties are pledged as collateral securing the
Company's obligations under the First Mortgage Notes.

         As part of its long-term business strategy, the Company closed its
Houston plant effective as of February 1997 and its Dayville plant effective as
of April 1997. Two furnaces and five machines have also been removed from
service, one furnace and one machine at the Company's Jacksonville plant and one
furnace and four machines at its Connellsville plant. In addition, management
will continue to monitor business conditions and utilization of plant capacity
to determine the appropriateness of further plant closings.

         The following table sets forth certain information about the facilities
owned and being operated by the Company as of December 31, 1997.

         Headquarters Lease. In connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the
Company assumed and amended Old Anchor's lease of the headquarters facility
located in Tampa, Florida and a related option to purchase. In January 1998, the
Company exercised its option to purchase and assigned the option to a third
party purchaser of the facility. The Company has entered into a lease pursuant
to which the Company will lease a portion of the headquarters facility for an
initial term of ten years.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company is, and from time to time may be, a party to routine legal
proceedings incidental to the operation of its business. The outcome of these
proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or operating results of the Company, based on the Company's current
understanding of the relevant facts and law.

         The Company is engaged in investigation and remediation projects at
plants currently being operated and at closed facilities. In addition, Old
Anchor was named as a potentially responsible party (a "PRP") under CERCLA with
respect to a number of sites. Of these sites, the Company has assumed
responsibility with respect to four sites that are currently active. While the
Company may be jointly and severally liable for costs related to these sites, in
most cases, it is only one of a number of PRP's who are also jointly and
severally liable. With respect to the four currently active sites for which the
Company has assumed responsibility, the Company estimates that its share of the
aggregate cleanup costs of such sites should not exceed $2.0 million, and that
the likely range after taking into consideration the contributions anticipated
from other potentially responsible parties could be significantly less. However,
no assurance can be given that the cleanup costs of such sites will not exceed
$2.0 million or that the Company will have these funds available. The Company
has established reserves of approximately $16.0 million for environmental costs
which it believes are adequate to address the anticipated costs of remediation
of these operated and closed facilities and its liability as a PRP under CERCLA.
The timing and magnitude of such costs cannot always be determined with
certainty due to, among other things, incomplete information with respect to
environmental conditions at certain sites, new and amended environmental laws
and regulations, and uncertainties regarding the timing of remedial
expenditures.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         None.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
        MATTERS.

         The Company's common equity securities consist of Classes A, B, and C
Common Stock and Series A and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the
"Securities"). There is no established public trading market for any of the
Securities. The Company intends to apply for listing of the Series A Preferred
Stock and the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market
("Nasdaq"). However, the Company and the Securities do not currently meet the
requirements for such listing, and there can be no assurance of the liquidity of
any markets that may develop for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Class A
Common Stock, of the ability of the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock and
the Class A Common Stock to sell such securities, or of the price at which
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock would be
able to sell such securities.

         As of March 20, 1998, there were four registered holders of 2,239,320
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 9,330,500 shares
of Class A Common Stock; one registered holder of 3,360,000 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 15,272,727 shares of Class B Common
Stock; one registered holder of Class A Common Stock; one registered holder of
Class B Common Stock; and no registered holders of Class C Common Stock. Smith
Barney Inc., one of the holders of both the Series A Preferred Stock and Class A
Common Stock, holds such securities in escrow for certain creditors of Old
Anchor. See "Item 12. Principal Stockholders." As of March 20, 1998, 2,107,843
shares of Class C Common Stock, which is nonvoting until February 5, 2000, were
issuable upon the exercise of currently exercisable warrants, which are held by
two institutional investors.

         The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock and currently
has no intention to do so in the future. The holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of
the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative dividends, payable
quarterly in cash, at an annual rate of 10% of the liquidation value thereof.
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative
dividends payable quarterly in kind at an annual rate of 8% of the liquidation
value thereof. For a discussion regarding limitations on the Company's ability
to pay dividends, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

         On various dates since January 1997, the Company sold and issued
902,615 shares of Class B Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share, and
3,609,611 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (including shares issuable as paid
in kind dividends), valued at $25.00 per share. These shares were issued in an
offering not involving a public offering pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the
Securities Act to Consumers U.S. As a condition to each of the above sales, the
purchaser consented to placement of a restrictive legend on the certificate
representing the securities.

         In addition, in connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company
issued: (i) 490,898 shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share,
and 1,879,320 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at $25.00 per share, to
Smith Barney Inc., as escrow agent for certain creditors of Old Anchor, (ii) an
aggregate of 360,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at $25.00 per
share, to three defined benefit plans maintained by Old Anchor and (iii)
warrants (with no payment due upon exercise) exercisable for 2,107,843 shares of
Class C Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share, to two institutional purchasers
as compensation for providing the interim financing for the Anchor Acquisition
and placement of the Notes. The warrants for Class C Common Stock were issued in
an offering not involving a public offering pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the
Securities Act. As a condition to such sales, the purchasers consented to a
placement of



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

a restrictive legend on the certificates representing the warrants. All of the
shares of Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock were issued in
reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act contained in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

         In April 1997, the Company issued $150.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the First Mortgage Notes to a group of "qualified institutional
buyers" (as such term is used in Rule 144A under the Securities Act). The First
Mortgage Notes were issued in reliance on the exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S under
the Securities Act. The initial purchasers were "accredited investors" as that
term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act. The sale and issuance of
these securities was exempt from the registration of the Securities Act pursuant
to Rule 506 Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

         In March 1998, the Company issued $50.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Notes to a group of "qualified institutional buyers" (as
such term is used in Rule 144A under the Securities Act). The Senior Notes were
issued in reliance on the exemptions from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The initial purchasers were "accredited investors" as that term is defined in
Regulation D of the Securities Act. The sale and issuance of these securities
was exempt from the registration of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

         The Company was formed in January 1997 to consummate the Anchor
Acquisition. On February 5, 1997, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Company and Owens acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed
certain liabilities, of Old Anchor. In the Anchor Acquisition, the Company
purchased eleven operating glass container manufacturing facilities and other
related assets. Prior to the Anchor Acquisition, the Company had no operations
and therefore the following discussion represents activity from February 5, 1997
through December 31, 1997 (the "1997 Period"). Accordingly, operations for the
Company for the 1997 Period are not directly comparable to operations of Old
Anchor for 1996.

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net Sales. Net sales for the 47 weeks in the 1997 Period for the
continuing plants operated by the Company were approximately $569.4 million, or
approximately $12.1 million per week. Net sales for the same nine plants for
1996 (52 weeks) under Old Anchor were approximately $722.7, or $13.9 million per
week. Net sales per week decreased principally as a result of lower sales of
beer products by the Company.

         Cost of Products Sold. The Company's cost of products sold in the 1997
Period was $523.7 million (or 92.0% of net sales), while Old Anchor's cost of
products sold in 1996 was $831.6 million (or 102.1% of net sales) in 1996.
Despite closing four plants in 1995 and 1996, Old Anchor still maintained excess
capacity which reduced its ability to withstand the adverse industry conditions
prevailing in 1996. In an attempt to fill excess capacity, some of Old Anchor's
lost volume was replaced with smaller orders requiring shorter production runs
as well as more frequent retooling and color changes, which led to higher unit
costs and lower margins. Following the Anchor Acquisition, the Company closed
its Houston and Dayville plants and removed from production two furnaces, one at
each of two other plants. By reducing excess capacity and through a better
utilization of the Company's workforce during the 1997 Period, wage increases of
approximately 7% during the 1997 Period had only a limited impact.

         Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative
expenses for the 1997 Period were approximately $25.1 million (or 4.4% of net
sales), while Old Anchor's selling and administrative expenses were $39.6
million in 1996 (or 4.8% of net sales). This slight decline in selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects lower personnel
and fringe benefit costs primarily as a result of the headquarters cost
reductions which occurred in March 1997.

         Net Income (Loss). The Company had a net loss in the 1997 Period of
approximately $11.5 million, including an extraordinary loss of approximately
$11.2 million as result of the write-off of certain financing fees in connection
with the refinancing of the Anchor Loan Facility. Despite lower net sales per
week in the 1997 Period compared to Old Anchor's net sales per week in 1996,
income form operations during the 1997 Period for the continuing plants was
approximately $20.6 million, while Old Anchor has a loss from operations in 1996
from these same plants of $63.2 million, principally as a result of the return
to higher margin business and reduced cost of products sold and selling and
administrative expenses.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In the 1997 Period, operating activities provided $25.5 million in
cash, reflecting the loss before extraordinary item adjusted for changes in
working capital items. Cash consumed in investing activities for the 1997 Period
was $257.3 million, principally reflecting the cash component



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

of the Anchor Acquisition. Additionally, in February 1997, the Company
contributed $9.0 million in cash to the Company's defined benefit pension plans.
Capital expenditures in the 1997 Period were $41.6 million. Cash increased from
financing activities for the 1997 Period by $232.8 million reflecting the
issuance of capital stock and borrowings in connection with the Anchor
Acquisition.

         Capital expenditures required for environmental compliance were
approximately $0.8 million for 1997 and are anticipated to be approximately $1.7
million annually in 1998 and 1999. However, there can be no assurance that
future changes in such laws, regulations or interpretations thereof or the
nature of the Company's operations will not require the Company to make
significant additional capital expenditures to ensure compliance in the future.

         The purchase price of the Anchor Acquisition was approximately $250.0
million and was comprised of: approximately $200.5 million in cash, $47.0
million face amount (1,879,320 shares) of Series A Preferred Stock and $2.5
million of common stock (490,898 shares) of Class A Common Stock. However, the
purchase price paid by the Company is subject to adjustment. On June 13, 1997,
Old Anchor delivered to the Company the unaudited Closing Balance Sheet, which
indicated that Old Anchor believed that it was entitled to additional payments
from the Company and Owens totaling approximately $76.3 million. On July 28,
1997, the Company delivered its notice of disagreement to Old Anchor, which
requested a reduction to the purchase price of approximately $96.8 million.
Since that time, the parties have been negotiating the amount of the adjustment,
and have reached a proposed settlement (the "Proposed Settlement"). The Proposed
Settlement requires the payment by the Company to Old Anchor of an additional
$1.0 million in cash and the issuance of 1,225,000 warrants for the purchase of
additional shares of common stock, together valued at $7.1 million. In addition,
the Company will issue 525,000 warrants to purchase additional shares of common
stock to an affiliate of Consumers U.S., valued at $2.6 million. None of the
warrants to be issued will require any payment upon exercise. The Proposed
Settlement is subject to final approval by the Company, Old Anchor and the
bankruptcy court.

         The Company obtained the cash portion of the purchase price from an
$85.0 million cash investment by Consumers U.S. in $84.0 million face amount
(3,360,000 shares) of Series B Preferred Stock and $1.0 million of Class B
Common Stock and borrowings under the $130.0 million Anchor Loan Facility.

         In conjunction with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company entered into a
credit agreement providing for a $110.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. At
March 20, 1998, advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility were
$5.9 million and the total outstanding letters of credit on this facility were
$11.1 million.

         On April 17, 1997, the Company completed an offering of $150.0 million
aggregate principal amount of First Mortgage Notes. The First Mortgage Notes are
senior secured obligations of the Company, ranking senior in right of payment to
all existing and future subordinate indebtedness of the Company and pari passu
with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The First
Mortgage Notes are guaranteed by Consumers U.S. Proceeds from the issuance of
the First Mortgage Notes, net of fees, were approximately $144.0 million and
were used to repay $130.0 million outstanding under the Anchor Loan Facility and
$8.8 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, with the balance
used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the refinancing of the
Anchor Loan Facility with the First Mortgage Notes, the Company issued 702,615
shares of Class B Common Stock to Consumers and 702,614 warrants to the initial
purchasers. The warrants and common stock are each valued at $5.00 per share.

         As a result of its failure to have an exchange offer registration
statement declared effective and to have exchanged all First Mortgage Notes
validly tendered, the Company has paid additional interest on the First Mortgage
Notes. The amount of additional interest that the Company has paid has ranged
from 0.5% in October 1997 to 1.5% in

                                       14
<PAGE>   15


February 1998. This additional interest is expected to be nonrecurring and not
significant to the Company's continuing operations.

         In March 1998, the Company issued $50.0 million aggregate principal
amount of its 9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2008. The Senior Notes are senior
unsecured obligations ranking pari passu in right of payment with all existing
and future senior indebtedness of the Company. Proceeds of the offering will be
used for capital expenditures necessary to expand to meet customer needs and
general corporate purposes.

         The First Mortgage Notes Indenture and the Senior Notes Indenture
contain certain covenants that restrict the Company from taking various actions,
including, subject to specified exceptions, the incurrence of additional
indebtedness, the granting of additional liens, the making of investments, the
payment of dividends and other restricted payments, mergers, acquisitions and
other fundamental corporate changes, capital expenditures, operating lease
payments and transactions with affiliates. The Revolving Credit Facility also
contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to meet and
maintain certain financial tests and minimum ratios, including a minimum working
capital ratio, a minimum consolidated net worth test and a minimum interest
coverage ratio.

         The Company may enter into a new revolving credit facility that will
provide for revolving credit loans, and the issuance of letters of credit, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed the lessor of $125.0 million and the borrowing
base in effect. The new revolving credit facility will also contain certain
customary covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility, including an
event of default upon a change of control and upon a default under the Notes
and/or certain other Indebtedness of Anchor. The new revolving credit facility
will also require Anchor to meet and maintain certain financial tests and
minimum ratios, including minimum leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated net
worth test and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

         The Company expects significant expenditures in the 1998, including
interest expense on the First Mortgage Notes, the Senior Notes and the Revolving
Credit Facility, required pension plan contributions of $17.0 million, payment
in respect of the Company's supply agreement with The Stroh Brewery Company of
$7.0 million, capital expenditures of approximately $55.0 million and closing
costs associated with the closed manufacturing facilities of approximately $11.0
million. In addition, the Company is required to make pension plan contributions
for underfundings of $13.9 million in 1999 and $40.5 million to be contributed
over the three years thereafter. Also, as a result of the valuation performed by
an independent appraiser of the Series A Preferred Stock contributed to the
plans, which was completed in November 1997, the Company is required to make an
additional pension contribution of $0.7 million in 1998. Peak needs are in
spring and fall at which time working capital borrowings are estimated to be
$20.0 million higher than at other times of the year. The Company's principal
sources of liquidity through 1998 are expected to be funds derived from
operations, proceeds from the Senior Note offering, borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds from asset sales.

     IMPACT OF INFLATION

         The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to
pass on cost increases in the form of increased sales prices, is dependent upon
market conditions. While the general level of inflation in the domestic economy
has been at relatively low levels, the Company has begun to pass on inflationary
cost increases either as a result of contractual arrangements permitting the
pass on of cost increases or as the result of recent negotiations with various
customers.

     SEASONALITY

         Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and
soft drink industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months, the
Company's shipment volume is expected to be higher in the second and third
quarters. Consequently, the Company will build inventory during the first
quarter in anticipation of seasonal demands during the second and third
quarters. In addition, the Company will schedule shutdowns of its plants for
furnace rebuilds and machine repairs in the first and fourth quarters of the
year to coincide with scheduled holiday and vacation time under its labor union
contracts. These shutdowns and seasonal sales patterns adversely affect
profitability during the first and fourth quarters. The Company is reviewing
alternatives to reduce downtime during these periods in order to minimize
disruption to the production process and its negative effect on profitability.

     YEAR 2000

         The Company's plan is to achieve Year 2000 compliance while integrating
the operations of the Company and Consumers. The Company's information systems
cover a broad spectrum of software applications and hardware custom designed for
its manufacturing processes and are similar to those of Consumers. Consumers,
after an extensive study of its general technology needs, decided to upgrade its
information systems from a platform based on large IBM mainframes to a platform
based on mid-range database servers. This upgrade will resolve any Year 2000
issues. To better integrate its information systems with those of Consumers, the
Company will begin a similar upgrade of its systems in the second quarter of
1998 with a planned implementation date of March 1999, which management believes
provides sufficient time to resolve any unexpected issues. Certain of these
upgrades are included in the capital expenditure budget.

     INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         With the exception of the historical information contained in this
report, the matters described herein contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may
predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or
achievements, and may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect,"
"estimate," "intend," "project," "will be," "will likely continue," "will likely
result," or words or phrases of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties (including, but not limited to, economic,
competitive, governmental and technological factors outside the control of the
Company) which may cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the
ability of management to implement its business strategy in view of the
Company's limited operating history and the recent insolvency of Old Anchor; the
highly competitive nature of the glass container market and the intense
competition from makers of alternative forms of packaging; the Company's focus
on the beer industry and its dependence on certain key customers; the seasonal
nature of brewing, iced tea and other beverage industries; the Company's
dependence on certain executive officers; and changes in environmental and other
government regulations. The Company operates in a very competitive environment
in which new risk factors can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for
management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all
such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor,
or a combination of factors, any cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements. Given these risks and
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statement.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

         Old Anchor's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and its
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholder's equity
(deficiency in assets) for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 1996 included in this Form 10-K have been previously audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), independent accountants to Old Anchor (whose report
disclaimed an opinion on the 1996 consolidated financial statements of Old
Anchor and included explanatory paragraphs referring to the bankruptcy
proceedings of the Company and to the remaining deficiency in assets after the
sale of substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and the
substantial doubt that it raises relative to the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the
purchase price for the Anchor Acquisition is subject to adjustment based on an
audited balance sheet (the "Closing Balance Sheet"). As discussed under "Item 1.
Business - Recent Developments" the parties are in settlement negotiations
regarding the appropriate adjustment. As Deloitte was engaged to audit the
Closing Balance Sheet (however, an audit opinion has not been issued) and
continues to be the independent accountants to Old Anchor, Old Anchor informed
the Company that it was inappropriate for Deloitte to provide its consent to the
use of its audit report for these periods. Accordingly, Arthur Andersen LLP
audited the financial statements of Old Anchor for these periods. There
have not been any disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting
principles, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

         Classification of Board. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Charter") of the Company, until
February 5, 2000, the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect
four directors (the "Class A Directors") and the holders of the Class B Common
Stock are entitled to elect five directors (the "Class B Directors"). The Class
A Directors have not yet been designated. Messrs. Ghaznavi, Lightner, Gutowski,
Farrar and May are Class B Directors. In connection with the Proposed
Settlement, it is expected that the certificate of incorporation of the Company
will be amended to increase the number of directors to be elected by the holders
of Class B Common Stock.

         From and after February 5, 2000, the Board of Directors has discretion
to determine the number of directors (each a "Director") constituting the Board
of Directors, and such number of Directors will be divided into three classes,
as nearly equal in the number of Directors as possible. The term of Directors of
the first, second and third class will expire at the first, second and third
annual meeting after their election, respectively. At each annual meeting, the
number of Directors constituting the class whose term has expired at the time of
such meeting will be elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual
meeting.

         Until February 5, 2000, Class A Directors may be removed with or
without cause only by the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Directors
may be removed with or without cause only by the holders of Class B Common
Stock. Thereafter, all classes of Common Stock (as defined) of the Company will
be consolidated into one class of Common Stock, and, pursuant to the Bylaws of
the Company (the "Bylaws"), Directors may be removed only with cause by the
affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company then entitled to vote at an election of Directors.

         The foregoing provisions of the Restated Charter and the Bylaws are
subject to the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock of the Company
to elect additional Directors under circumstances specified in the certificate
of designation relating to such preferred stock.

         Officers of the Company serve at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.

designed to compensate salaried employees of Anchor for performance with respect
to planned business objectives. Participants will be compensated based on the

DIRECTOR AND EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN OF CONSUMERS

         The Director and Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan, 1996, as
amended, of Consumers, permits Consumers to grant options to purchase common
shares of Consumers to directors and employees of Consumers and any subsidiary
or affiliate, including Anchor. Options may be granted to purchase an aggregate
of 3,300,000 Common Shares of Consumers. Options to purchase 1,216,500 shares of
Consumers Common Stock, at exercise prices that range from $9.65 to $13.50
(Canadian dollars), were granted to all of the salaried employees of Anchor in
1997. Granted options have a term of ten years and vest one third each year over
a three year period.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Non-employee directors of the Company are entitled to receive an annual
director's fee of $7,000. In connection with the Proposed Settlement, it is
expected that the amount of the annual director's fee will be increased to
$15,000. In addition, fees of $750 are paid for each non-employee director for
director's meeting and committee meetings attended unless more than one meeting
is held on the same day, in which case the fee for attending each subsequent
meeting is $500.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

         The Company does not, as a general rule, enter into employment
agreements with its executive officers and/or other key employees.

EMPLOYEE PLAN

         As part of the Anchor Acquisition, the Company assumed Old Anchor's
obligations under the Anchor Glass Container Corporation Executive/Key Employee
Retention Plan which covers approximately 35 employees including Messrs. Pool,
Day and Sinatro. Under this plan, if a participating employee is terminated by
the Company without cause or terminates his or her employment with the Company
for good reason (such as a reduction in base salary, a material change in
position, duties or responsibilities, or a material change in job location), the
Company is obligated to pay a severance benefit to such employee. If all
participating employees were to be terminated by the Company without cause
and/or were to terminate their employment with the Company for good reason, the
aggregate amount of severance benefits payable by the Company under this plan
would be $1.1 million. This plan expires August 5, 1998.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCK

         The compensation committee is comprised of the entire board of
directors, which includes the Chief Executive Officer and President, the Chief
Financial Officer, the Senior Vice President-Administration and the Senior Vice
President-General Counsel.

the invoiced amount, to the company that referred the customer. In the event of
a transfer of a customer to the Company by an Affiliated Glass Manufacturers or
to an Affiliated Glass Manufacturers by the Company, the transfer is treated as
though the transferee had filled the orders for the transferred customer.

         In connection with any bulk purchasing of raw materials, packaging
materials, machinery, insurance, maintenance services, environmental services
and other items and services used in this business, each of the Affiliated Glass
Manufacturers will share out-of-pocket costs of the purchasing activities
without payment of commissions. Similarly, in connection with the provision of
technical, engineering or model design services, the company providing the
services will receive reasonable per diem fees and costs for the employees
provided. For services such as the provision of molds, the company providing the
service will receive cost plus a reasonable market mark-up.

         Transactions carried out in accordance with the Intercompany Agreement
do not require approval of the board of directors or fairness opinions. Any
amendment to the Intercompany Agreement is subject to the Indenture requirement
that it be in writing, on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have
been obtained in a comparable arms' length transaction between the Company and
third parties and is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors
("Affiliate Transaction Provisions"). The Revolving Credit Agreement and the
Indenture require that transactions between the Company and an affiliate be in
writing on no less favorable terms to the Company than would be obtainable in a
comparable arms' length transaction between the Company and a person that is not
an affiliate. In addition, transactions exceeding certain threshold values
require the approval of the Company's board of directors, the approval of the
Company's independent directors or an independent fairness opinion.

         Certain affiliates of the Company are engaged in businesses other than
the manufacture of glass containers, such as manufacturing or rehabilitating
manufacturing equipment, automobile and truck leasing, shipping and real estate
management. These transactions are subject to the Affiliate Transaction
Provisions of the Indenture.

         The Company is party to the Management Agreement with G&G. Pursuant to
the Management Agreement, G&G is to provide specified managerial services for
the Company. For these services, G&G is entitled to receive an annual management
fee of $3.0 million and to reimbursement of its out-of-pocket costs plus an
administrative charge not to exceed 10% of those


                                       27

costs. The Revolving Credit Agreement and the Indenture limit management fee
payments by the Company under the Management Agreement to $1.5 million per year
unless the Company meets certain financial tests, in which case such fees will
accrue. In 1997, such tests were met and the fees due under the Management
Agreement were $3.0 million.

         In September 1997, Hillsboro, a glass container manufacturing plant
owned by G&G, discontinued manufacturing. All of Hillsboro's rights and
obligations to fill orders under a supply contract between Consumers and one of
its major customers have been purchased by Consumers and Anchor. In addition, in
connection with a plan to simplify the corporate ownership structure of
Consumers, Anchor and their affiliates, Glenshaw may become a subsidiary of
Anchor.

         The Company from time to time has engaged the law firm of Eckert
Seamans Cherin and Mellott, LLC, to represent it on a variety of matters. C.
Kent May, an executive officer and director of the Company, is a member of such
law firm.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Anchor Glass Container Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Anchor Glass Container
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1997, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period
from February 5, 1997 through December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Anchor Glass Container
Corporation as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the period from February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       ANCHOR GLASS CONTAINER CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1997
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


NOTE 1 - PURCHASE OF ASSETS

Anchor Glass Acquisition Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation and
a majority-owned subsidiary of Consumers Packaging Inc. ("Consumers"), was
formed in January 1997 to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities
of Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("Old Anchor"), now Anchor Resolution
Corp.

On February 5, 1997, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 18,
1996, as amended (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), among Consumers,
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. ("Owens") and Old Anchor, the Company (the
rights and obligations of Consumers having been assigned to the Company) and
Owens acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed certain
liabilities, of Old Anchor.

The Company purchased eleven operating glass container manufacturing facilities
and other related assets (the "Anchor Acquisition"). Owens purchased assets and
assumed liabilities of Old Anchor's Antioch and Hayward, California facilities
and purchased certain other existing inventories. Owens also purchased Old
Anchor's investment in Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, a joint venture with Coors
Brewing Company ("Coors"), and assumed Old Anchor's agreement to manufacture
Coors' glass packaging products in the United States.

The total purchase price approximated $378,000, excluding fees of approximately
$1,500 which were paid by Consumers and recorded as capital in excess of par by
the Company. The portion of the purchase price paid in cash by Owens amounted to
approximately $128,000. The remaining purchase price of approximately $250,000
from the Company was comprised of: approximately $200,500 in cash, $47,000 face
amount (1,879,320 shares) of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative convertible
preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and $2,500 of common stock (490,898
shares with an estimated value of $5.00 per share) (the "Class A Common Stock")
of the Company.

The purchase price paid by the Company is subject to adjustment. On June 13,
1997, Old Anchor delivered to the Company the closing balance sheet which
indicated that Old Anchor believed that is was entitled to additional payments
from the Company and Owens totaling approximately $76,300. On July 28, 1997, the
Company delivered its notice of disagreement to Old Anchor, which requested a
reduction of the purchase price of approximately $96,800. Since that time, the
parties have been negotiating the amount of the adjustment, and have reached a
proposed settlement (the "Proposed Settlement"). The Proposed Settlement
requires the payment by the Company to Old Anchor of an additional $1,000 in
cash and the issuance of 1,225,000 warrants for the purchase of additional
shares of common stock, together valued at approximately $7,100, recorded as an
adjustment to goodwill. In addition, the Company will issue 525,000 warrants to
purchase additional shares of common stock to an affiliate of Consumers U.S.,
valued at approximately $2,600 which has been recorded as an expense. None of
the warrants to be issued will require any payment upon exercise. The effect of
the Proposed Settlement has been reflected in the financial statements for the
period ended December 31, 1997. The Proposed Settlement is subject to final
approval by the Company, Old Anchor and the bankruptcy court.

The Company obtained the cash portion of the purchase price principally from an
$85,000 cash investment by Consumers in $84,000 face amount (3,360,000 shares)
of redeemable 8% cumulative



                                      F-9
<PAGE>   43

convertible preferred stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and $1,000 of
common stock (200,000 shares) (the "Class B Common Stock") and a $130,000 bank
loan.

Upon consummation of the purchase and effective February 6, 1997, the Company
changed its name to Anchor Glass Container Corporation.

The Anchor Acquisition is accounted for by using the purchase method, with the
purchase price being allocated to the assets acquired and preacquisition
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of
acquisition. These allocations are based on appraisals, evaluations, estimations
and other studies. Certain acquisition costs and fees, including the costs of
closing and consolidating certain facilities have also been recorded by the
Company at the date of acquisition.. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of net asset purchased of approximately $58,660 is classified as
Goodwill on the accompanying balance sheet.

The estimated values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February
5, 1997 after giving effect to the to the Anchor Acquisition and consideration
paid is as follows:

These pro forma amounts represent historical operating results with appropriate
adjustments of the Anchor Acquisition which would give effect to interest
expense and the impact of purchase price adjustments to depreciation and
amortization expense. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of
the results that would have actually been obtained had the Anchor Acquisition
been completed as of January 1, 1997, or that may be obtained in the future.

On January 9, 1997, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") notified
Old Anchor that it intended to institute involuntary termination proceedings
with respect to the three defined benefit pension plans then maintained by Old
Anchor, and currently maintained by the Company. However, the PBGC reached an
agreement with Vitro, S.A., the parent of Old Anchor, in which Vitro, S.A.
agreed to provide a limited guaranty to the PBGC with respect to the unfunded
benefit liabilities of the Company's defined benefit plans, if the plans, or any
one of them, are terminated before August 1, 2006. Consequently, the PBGC agreed
not to terminate the plans as a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the
assumption of the plans by the Company. In conjunction with the purchase, the
Company assumed all liabilities of the plans and funded $9,056 of plan
contributions,

previously unfunded following Old Anchor's filing of Chapter 11. Additionally,
the Company issued to the plans $9,000 face amount (360,000 shares) of Series A
Preferred Stock.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Segment

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a diverse line of clear,
amber, green and other color glass containers of various types, designs and
sizes to customers principally in the beer, food, iced tea, distilled spirits
and soft drink industries. The Company markets its products throughout the
United States. The Company's international and export sales are insignificant.
Sales to The Stroh Brewery Company represented approximately 15.6% of total net
sales for the period ended December 31, 1997. Revenues are recognized as product
is shipped to customers. The loss of a significant customer, unless replaced,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially
all inventories of raw materials and semi-finished and finished products is
determined on the first-in, first-out method. Manufacturing supplies and certain
other inventories are valued at weighted average costs.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment expenditures, including renewals, betterments and
furnace rebuilds which extend useful lives, and expenditures for glass forming
machine molds are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial statement purposes
while accelerated depreciation methods are principally used for tax purposes.
Generally, annual depreciation rates range from 2.5% for buildings, 6.3% to 20%
for machinery and equipment and 40% for molds. Furnace and machine rebuilds,
which are recurring in nature and which extend the lives of the related assets,
are capitalized and depreciated over the period of extension, generally at rates
of 20% to 25%, based on the type and extent of these rebuilds. Depreciation of
leased property recorded as capital assets is computed on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are
charged directly to expense as incurred.

Strategic Alliance with Customers

The Company has entered into long-term agreements with several customers.
Payments made or to be made to these customers are being amortized as a
component of net sales on the statement of operations over the term of the
related supply contract, which range between 11 and 15 years, based upon
shipments.

In September 1997, Hillsboro Glass Company ("Hillsboro"), a glass-manufacturing
plant owned by G&G Investments, Inc. ("G&G") (the majority owner of Consumers),
discontinued manufacturing. All of Hillsboro's rights and obligations to fill
orders under a supply contract between Consumers and one of its major customers
was purchased by Consumers and the Company effective December 31, 1997. The
purchase price of the Company's portion of this contract approximates $12,500,
the majority of which will be paid in 1998.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of net assets acquired and is amortized on a straight line basis over a
twenty year period. Amortization expense for the period ended December 31, 1997
was $2,857.

Income Taxes

The Company applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -
Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109") which establishes financial accounting
and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes which result from a
company's activities during the current and preceding years.

Retirement Plans

The Company has retirement plans, principally non-contributory, covering
substantially all salaried and hourly employees. The Company's funding policy is
to pay at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 and the Retirement Protection Act of 1994, which requires
the Company to make significant additional contributions into its underfunded
defined benefit plans.

Postretirement Benefits

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("SFAS 106") requires accrual of
postretirement benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the period that an
employee provides service. This accounting method has no effect on the Company's
cash outlays for these postretirement benefits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 - Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the estimated fair values
of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been
determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation
methodologies that require considerable judgment in interpreting market data and
developing estimates. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. As the long-term debt has not been registered or traded in an
established trading market, and the debt was issued during the current period,
the Company has estimated the fair value of the debt to be the carrying value.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments approximate their estimated
fair values.

The fair value information presented herein is based on information available to
management as of December 31, 1997. Although management is not aware of any
factors that would significantly affect the estimated value amounts, such
amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial
statements since that date and, therefore, the current estimates of fair value
may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

From time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements that
effectively hedge interest rate exposure. The net cash amount paid or received
on these agreements are accrued and recognized as an adjustment to interest
expense.

Earnings per share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") which is effective for all periods ending
after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128 sets forth requirements for computing basic
and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per common share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock by the weighted-average
number of common shares and contingently issuable shares outstanding during the
period. Warrants outstanding are contingently issuable shares as they are
issuable for no additional consideration and the conditions necessary for share
exercise have been met. There is no

diluted earnings per share presented as the assumed conversion of preferred
stock would be anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic loss per share is as follows (dollars in thousands,
except per share):

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimated.


NOTE 3- REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

In conjunction with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company entered into a credit
agreement dated as of February 5, 1997, with Bankers Trust Company ("BTCo") as
issuing bank and BT Commercial Corporation, as agent, to provide a $110,000
senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The
Revolving Credit Facility enables the Company to obtain revolving credit loans
for working capital purposes and the issuance of letters of credit for its
account in an aggregate amount not to exceed $110,000. Advances outstanding at
any one time can not exceed an amount equal to the borrowing base as defined in
the Revolving Credit Facility.

Revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate based upon, at the Company's
option, (i) the higher of the prime rate of BTCo, 0.5% in excess of the
overnight federal funds rate and 0.5% in excess of the adjusted certificate of
deposit rate, as defined, each plus a defined margin, or (ii) the average of the
offering rates of banks in the New York interbank Eurodollar market, plus a
defined margin. Interest is payable monthly. A commitment fee of 0.5% on the
unused portion of the facility and letter of credit fees, as defined, are
payable quarterly. The Revolving Credit Facility expires February 5, 2002.

At December 31, 1997, advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility
were $10,468 and the borrowing availability was $52,497. The total outstanding
letters of credit on this facility were $12,788. At December 31, 1997, the
weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 8.4%.

The Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a
first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's inventories and
accounts receivable and related collateral and a second priority pledge of all
of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Class B Common Stock. In addition, the
Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by
Consumers U.S., Inc., ("Consumers U.S.") the Company's parent and a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of Consumers and the holder of the outstanding Series B
Preferred Stock and Class B Common Stock.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that restrict the
Company from taking various actions, including, subject to specified exceptions,
the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the granting of additional liens, the
making of investments, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments,
mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental corporate changes, capital


                                      F-13

expenditures, operating lease payments and transactions with affiliates. The
Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants that require
the Company to meet and maintain certain financial tests and minimum ratios,
including a minimum working capital ratio, a minimum consolidated net worth test
and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

                                                                                       =========
</TABLE>

In connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company entered into a Senior
Credit Agreement, dated as of February 5, 1997, with BTCo, as agent, to provide
a $130,000 bank loan (the "Anchor Loan Facility"). The Anchor Loan Facility was
repaid in full from the net proceeds of the issuance of the $150,000 11.25%
First Mortgage Notes, due 2005, (the " First Mortgage Notes"). The Anchor Loan
Facility bore interest at a rate of 12.50%.

As additional consideration in providing the Anchor Loan Facility, the Company
issued to BT Securities Corporation and TD Securities, 1,405,229 warrants
convertible to Class C Common Stock. The warrants are valued at approximately
$7,000. As a result of the refinancing of the Anchor Loan Facility, deferred
financing fees of $11,200 were written off as an extraordinary loss in the
second quarter of 1997.

Effective April 17, 1997, the Company completed an offering of the First
Mortgage Notes, issued under an indenture dated as of April 17, 1997 (the
"Indenture"), among the Company, Consumers U.S. and The Bank of New York, as
Trustee. The First Mortgage Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company,
ranking senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinate
indebtedness of the Company and pari passu with all existing and future senior
indebtedness of the Company. The First Mortgage Notes are guaranteed by
Consumers U.S. Proceeds from the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes, net of
fees, were approximately $144,000 and were used to repay $130,000 outstanding
under the Anchor Loan Facility and $8,800 of advances outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Facility, with the balance used for general corporate purposes.

Interest on the First Mortgage Notes accrues at 11.25% per annum and is payable
semiannually on each April 1 and October 1 to registered holders of the First
Mortgage Notes at the close of business on the March 15 and September 15
immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. The Company entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement on April 17, 1997. Pursuant to this
agreement, additional interest in an amount of up to 1.5% per annum accrues on
the First Mortgage Notes under certain conditions. As a result of the Company's
failure to have an exchange offer registration statement declared effective on
or prior to October 14, 1997, additional interest in the amount of 0.5% accrued
from October 14, 1997. Due to the Company's failure to have exchanged all First
Mortgage Notes tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer on or
prior to November 28, 1997, additional interest increased to 1.0%. Additional
interest increased to 1.5% on January 13, 1998 and accrued to February 11, 1998
when it was reduced to 0.5%.

The First Mortgage Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's
option on or after April 1, 2001, at redemption prices defined in the Indenture.
The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a change in control, the
Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of the First Mortgage Notes
at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount plus interest
accrued to the date of purchase. Prior to the sale of the First Mortgage Notes,
the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to partially protect
the Company from interest rate fluctuations

                                      F-14
<PAGE>   48


until such time as the fixed interest rate on the First Mortgage Notes was
established. The agreement was terminated concurrent with interest rate of the
First Mortgage Notes being set. The realized gain on the agreement,
approximately $1,900, has been deferred and is being amortized over the term of
the First Mortgage Notes.

All of the obligations of the Company under the First Mortgage Notes and the
Indenture are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in
substantially all of the existing and future real property, personal property
and other assets of the Company and a first priority perfected security interest
in collateral ranking pari passu with the security interest in favor of the
Revolving Credit Facility.

The Indenture, subject to certain exceptions, restricts the Company from taking
various actions, including, but not limited to, subject to specified exceptions,
the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the granting of additional liens, the
payment of dividends and other restricted payments, mergers, acquisitions and
transactions with affiliates.

All of the Company's debt agreements contain cross-default provisions.

Principal payments required on long-term debt are $567 in 1998, $291 in 1999,
$297 in 2000, $303 in 2001 and $300 in 2002. Payments to be made in 2003 and
thereafter are $151,567.

In connection with the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes on April 17, 1997,
the Company issued 702,615 shares of Class B Common Stock to Consumers and
702,614 warrants, valued at $5.00 for each share and warrant, to the initial
purchasers.

NOTE 5 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has designated 2,239,320 shares as Series A Preferred Stock and
5,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock
ranks, as to dividends and redemption and upon liquidation, prior to all other
classes and series of capital stock of the Company. The holders of Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company, cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in cash, at an
annual rate of 10%. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to
vote, except as defined in its Certificate of Designation.
No dividends have been declared or paid as of December 31, 1997.

The Company is required to redeem all outstanding shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock on January 31, 2009, and, on or after February 5, 2000, may, at
its option, redeem outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of
$25.00 per share, if the trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds
$6.00 per share. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares
of Class A Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a ratio determined by
dividing the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock by $6.00 and such
ratio is subject to adjustment from time to time.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to register
all of the shares of the Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock under
the Securities Exchange Act and to qualify the shares for listing on a
nationally recognized United States securities exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock
Market's National Market.

The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividends and redemption and upon
liquidation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock but senior to all other
classes and series of capital stock of the Company. The holders of Series B
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly
at an annual rate of 8%. During the period from February 5, 1997 through and
including December 31, 1999, the dividend is payable in additional shares of
Series B Preferred Stock. Thereafter, the dividends will be payable in cash when
and as declared by the Board of Directors. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock
are not entitled to vote, except as defined in its Certificate of Designation.



                                      F-15

Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not subject to mandatory redemption. On
or after February 5, 2000, the Company may, at its option, redeem outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share, if the
trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $5.50 per share. Shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Class B Common Stock, at
the option of the holder, at a ratio determined by dividing the liquidation
value of the Series A Preferred Stock by $5.50 and such ratio is subject to
adjustment from time to time.

NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK

For the period from February 5, 1997 to February 5, 2000, the common stock is
divided into three classes, Class A and Class B, which are voting, and Class C,
which is non-voting. During this period, the number of Directors of the Company
is fixed at nine, with the holders of the Class A shares having the right to
elect four Directors and the holders of the Class B shares having the right to
elect five Directors. In connection with the settlement of the issues
surrounding the adjustment to the purchase price paid by the Company, it is
expected that the certificate of incorporation of the Company will be amended to
increase the number of directors to be elected by the holders of Class B Common
Stock. Holders of the Class C shares do not participate in the election of
Directors. On February 5, 2000, the three classes of common stock will
automatically be consolidated into one single class of common stock with
identical rights. The Company currently has outstanding warrants exercisable for
2,107,843 shares of Class C Common Stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share,
which has already been deemed paid.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY INFORMATION

G&G Investments, Inc.

The Company is party to a management agreement with G&G, in which G&G is to
provide specified managerial services for the Company. For these services, G&G
is entitled to receive an annual management fee of $3,000 and reimbursement of
its out-of-pocket costs. The terms of Revolving Credit Facility and the
Indenture limit the management fee annual payment to $1,500 unless certain
financial maintenance tests are met. The Company has recorded an expense of
$2,750 for this agreement for the period ended December 31, 1997 of which $975
has been paid.

The Company participates in the Director and Employee Incentive Stock Option
Plan, 1996 of Consumers. Options to purchase 1,216,500 shares of Consumer's
common stock, at exercise prices that range from $9.65 to $13.50 (Canadian
dollars), were granted to all salaried employees of the Company in 1997. The
Company has not adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 -
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"). Had the Company adopted
SFAS 123, the 1997 effect on compensation would be immaterial.

NOTE 8 - PENSION PLANS

As part of the Anchor Acquisition, the Company assumed the pension plans
previously maintained by Old Anchor. The Company has defined benefit retirement
plans for salaried and hourly-paid employees. Benefits are calculated on a
salary-based formula for salaried plans and on a service-based formula for
hourly plans. Pension costs for the period from February 5, 1997 to December 31,

</TABLE>

The Company has substantial unfunded obligations related to its employee pension
plans. The Retirement Protection Act of 1994 requires the Company to make
significant additional funding contributions into its underfunded defined
benefit retirement plans and will increase the premiums paid to the PBGC.
Excluding payments made as part of the Anchor Acquisition, the Company funded
required contributions of approximately, $20,000 in 1997.

As an objection to the sale, the PBGC entered a determination to terminate Old
Anchor's qualified defined benefit pension plans. However, in conjunction with
the sale, the Company assumed all liabilities of the plans and funded $9,056 of
plan contributions, previously unfunded following Old Anchor's filing of Chapter
11. Additionally, the Company issued $9,000 face amount of Series A Preferred
Stock and Vitro, the parent of Old Anchor, has guaranteed to fund certain
qualified defined benefit plan obligations, should the Company default on its
obligations. Consequently, the PBGC agreed not to terminate the plans as a
result of the Agreement and the assumption of the plans by the Company.

The Company also sponsors two defined contribution plans covering substantially
all salaried and hourly employees. In 1994, the salaried retirement and savings
programs were changed, resulting in the freezing of benefits under the defined
benefit pension plans for salaried employees and amending the defined
contribution savings plan for salaried employees. Under the amended savings
plan, the Company matches employees' basic contributions to the plan in an
amount equal to 150% of the first 4% of an employee's compensation. Expenses
under the savings programs for the period from February 5, 1997 to December 31,
1997 were approximately $2,000.

The funded status of the Company's pension plans at December 31, 1997 is as
follows:

NOTE 9 - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

The Company provides benefits to substantially all salaried, and certain hourly
employees under several plans. SFAS 106 requires accrual of postretirement
benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the years an employee provides
services. Currently, the Company funds these healthcare benefits on a
pay-as-you-go basis. The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust, and
under the requirements of SFAS 106, recognizes as postretirement benefit cost
the required annual contribution. The Company's cash flows are not affected by
implementation of SFAS 106.

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1997 is as
follows:

</TABLE>

The assumed healthcare cost trend used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1997 was 8.5% declining
gradually to 5.5% by the year 2003, after which it remains constant. A one
percentage point increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate for each
year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 1997 by approximately 11% and the net postretirement healthcare
cost for the period ended December 31, 1997 by approximately 12%. The assumed
discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.25% for 1997.

The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust which provides certain
other postretirement benefits to retired hourly employees. Expenses under this
program for the period from February 5, 1997 to December 31, 1997 were $3,781.

NOTE 10 - PLANT CLOSING COSTS

In an effort t reduce the Company's cost structure and improve productivity, the
Company closed its Houston, Texas plant effective February 1997 and its
Dayville, Connecticut plant effective April 1997 and included the liabilities
assumed as part of the Anchor Acquisition cost. Closure of these facilities

Substantially all of the hourly and salaried employees at these plants,
approximately 600 in total, have been terminated. Exit charges and the amounts
charged against the liability as of December 31, 1997 are as follows:

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

The Company applies SFAS 109 under which the liability method is used in
accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes,
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Under SFAS 109, if on the basis of
available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized, the asset must be reduced by a
valuation allowance. Since realization is not assured at of December 31, 1997,
management has deemed it appropriate to establish a realization reserve against
the tax asset created during the period.

The following significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities
are as follows:

Rental expense for all operating leases for the period from February 5, 1997 to
December 31, 1997 were $17,547.

In connection with the Anchor Acquisition, the Company assumed and amended Old
Anchor's lease of the headquarters facility located in Tampa, Florida and a
related option to purchase. The term of the amended lease expires January 2,
1998, unless the Company has exercised its purchase right, and the term then
expires February 1, 1998. In January 1998, the Company exercised the option to
purchase the headquarters facility and assigned such option to a third party
purchaser of the facility. The Company has to entered into a ten year lease
pursuant to which the Company will lease a portion of the headquarters facility.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a respondent in various environment-related cases. The
measurement of liabilities in these cases and other environmental concerns is
based on available facts of each situation and considers factors such as prior
experience in remediation efforts and presently enacted environmental laws and
regulations. In the opinion of management, based upon information presently
known, the Company has adequately provided for environmental liabilities. The
Company is not otherwise party to, and none of its assets are subject to any
other pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to its business and against which the Company is adequately insured
and indemnified or which is not material. The Company believes that the ultimate
outcome of these cases will not materially affect future operations.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Following the issuance of the First Mortgage Notes, the Company filed, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, a Registration Statement on July 16, 1997,
(File No.333-31363) on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, with respect
to an issue of 11.25% First Mortgage First Mortgage Notes, due 2005, identical
in all material respects to the First Mortgage Notes, except that the new First
Mortgage Notes would not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof. Upon the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, February 12, 1998, the Company
commenced an offer to the holders of the First Mortgage Notes to exchange their
First Mortgage Notes for a like principal amount of new First Mortgage Notes.
The exchange offer is expected to be completed by March 30, 1998.

In connection with a plan to simplify the corporate ownership structure of
Consumers, the Company and their affiliates, Glenshaw Glass Company, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of G&G, may become a subsidiary of the Company or
Consumers U.S.

Subsequent to year end, the Company has made definitive arrangements to issue 9
7/8% senior unsecured notes, due 2008 in the amount of $50,000, the proceeds of
which are to be used to pay down the existing indebtedness under the Company's
Revolving Credit Facility and to provide for future expansion to meet customer
needs.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Anchor Glass Container Corporation:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anchor
Resolution Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) (the Company) as of February 4, 1997,
and December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholder's equity (deficiency in assets) and cash flows for the period from
January 1, 1997 to February 4, 1997, and the two years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to report on these financial statements based
on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our report.

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anchor
Resolution Corp. as of February 4, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997, to
February 4, 1997, and the two years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
experienced significant losses in the last three fiscal years, and has a net
deficiency in assets of $284,959,000 at February 4, 1997. As described in Notes
2 and 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in September
1996, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, as discussed in Note 2, on February
5, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and certain
liabilities. The Company's bankruptcy petition and remaining deficiency in
assets after this sale raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (dollars in thousands)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical
cost basis of accounting and reflect adjustments for the impairment of goodwill
and other long-lived assets. As discussed in Note 3, Anchor Resolution Corp.
(formerly known as Anchor Glass Container Corporation) (the "Company") is
operating as a debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the
bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, the consolidated financial statements do
not purport to show (a) as to assets, the remaining assets, their realizable
value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b)
as to prepetition liabilities, the amounts that may be allowed for claims or
contingencies, or the status and priority thereof; or (c) as to stockholder's
accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of
the Company; or (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made
in the Company's remaining business.

Organization of the Company

At February 4, 1997, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Container
Holdings Corp. ("Container") which is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Vitro,
Sociedad Anonima ("Vitro"), a limited liability corporation incorporated under
the laws of the United Mexican States. On September 13, 1996, the Company filed
a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") (See Note 3). On February 5, 1997, Consumers
Packaging Inc. ("CPI") and Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. ("OI") acquired
substantially all of the assets and business of the Company in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement (See Note 2). The financial statements for the period
from January 1, 1997 to February 4, 1997 (the "1997 Interim Period") represent
the final period of operations of the Company.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business Segment

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a diverse line of clear,
amber, green and other color glass containers of various types, designs and
sizes to customers principally in the beer, food, iced tea, distilled spirits,
wine and soft drink industries. The Company markets its products throughout the
United States. The Company's international operations and export sales are
insignificant. Sales to Anheuser-Busch represented 6%, 11% and 24% of total net
sales for the 1997 Interim Period and the years ended 1996 and 1995,
respectively. As a result of the current highly competitive environment, the
Company had been informed by Anheuser-Busch that the Company's 1996 and future
volume allocations would be reduced. Additionally, sales to The Stroh Brewery



                                      H-9
<PAGE>   63

Company represented 10.0% and 10.8% of total net sales for the 1997 Interim
Period and the year ended 1996.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially
all inventories of raw materials and semi-finished and finished products is
determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. At February 4, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 the estimated current cost of these inventories exceeds their
stated value determined on the LIFO basis by approximately $16,740.
Manufacturing supplies and certain other inventories are valued at weighted
average actual or standard costs that approximate actual costs.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment expenditures, including renewals, betterments and
furnace rebuilds, which extend useful lives, and expenditures for glass forming
machine molds are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial statement purposes
while accelerated depreciation methods are principally used for tax purposes.
Generally, annual depreciation rates range from 2.5% for buildings, 6.3% to 20%
for machinery and equipment and 40% for molds. Furnace and machine rebuilds,
which are recurring in nature and which extend the lives of the related assets,
are recorded as a charge to accumulated depreciation. Annual depreciation rates
for such expenditures range from 20% to 25%, based on the type and extent of
these rebuilds. Depreciation of leased property recorded as capital assets is
computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred.

Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired (Goodwill)

As a result of the declining profitability, diminishing cash flows and the
Company's bankruptcy as discussed in Note 3, the recoverable value of the
carrying amount of long-lived assets and intangibles was reviewed for
impairment.

Prior to the sale of substantially all of its assets, the Company used projected
undiscounted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization but after maintenance capital expenditures as compared to the
unamortized balance of goodwill and other long-lived assets, to measure any
impairment, and as of December 31, 1995, no impairment was calculated. As a
result of the sale of the Company's assets, in late 1996, the Company used
projected proceeds from the sale as a measure of impairment of goodwill.

Based upon this review, the amount of remaining excess of purchase price over
fair value of net assets acquired of $457,232 and other long-lived assets of
$33,000 were written off in the year ended December 31, 1996.

The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired had been amortized on
a straight line basis over a 40 year period. Amortization expense, included as a
component of cost of products sold, for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 was $13,920 and $13,925 respectively.

Income Taxes

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income
Taxes ("SFAS 109") establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
the effects of income taxes which result from a company's activities during the
current and preceding years. In general, SFAS 109 requires that each company
within a consolidated group recognize tax expense based on its own income. The
Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return with Container and
its subsidiaries. To the extent that current operating loss benefits of the
consolidated group or post acquisition loss




                                      H-10
<PAGE>   64

carryforwards are allocated to the Company as a reduction of current income
taxes payable, such benefits are reflected as a contribution of capital. The
Company's tax benefits arising prior to acquisition (preacquisition losses) are
reflected as a reduction in goodwill when the losses are utilized. Post
acquisition losses of the Company are used to offset current or future income
tax provisions.

Retirement Plans

The Company has retirement plans, principally non-contributory, covering
substantially all salaried and hourly employees. The Company's funding policy is
to pay at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings (See Note 3),
certain plan contributions were not made as of February 4, 1997 (See Note 12).
At February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded an
additional minimum pension liability for underfunded plans representing the
excess of the underfunded liability over previously recorded accrued pension
costs.

Postretirement Benefits

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("SFAS 106") requires accrual of
postretirement benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the period that an
employee provides service. The transition obligation from the adoption of SFAS
106 approximated $3,400 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
period of twenty years. This accounting method has no effect on the Company's
cash outlays for these retirement benefits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 - Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the estimated fair values
of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been
determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation
methodologies that require considerable judgment in interpreting market data and
developing estimates. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. Based on the uncertainty of the ultimate outcome of the Bankruptcy
Proceedings, discussed in Note 3, the Company is unable to estimate the fair
value of long-term debt at February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996. The carrying
amount of other financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values.

The fair value information presented herein is based on information available to
management as of February 4, 1997. Such amounts have not been comprehensively
revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and,
therefore, the current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the
amounts presented herein. As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings discussed in
Note 3, the ultimate value of these financial instruments is dependent upon the
payment under the Company's future plan of reorganization.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimated.

NOTE 2 - SALE OF ASSETS

On February 5, 1997, OI and Anchor Glass Acquisition Corporation ("New Anchor"),
a majority-owned subsidiary of CPI, acquired substantially all of the assets and
business of the Company, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated December
18, 1996, as amended (the "Agreement").

New Anchor purchased eleven operating glass container manufacturing facilities,
five idled glass container manufacturing facilities and other related assets. OI
purchased assets and assumed liabilities of the Company's Antioch, California
and Hayward, California facilities and purchased certain other existing
inventories. OI also purchased the Company's investment in Rocky Mountain Bottle
Company, a joint venture with Coors Brewing Company ("Coors"), and assumed the
Company's agreement to manufacture Coors' glass packaging products in the United
States.

The total purchase price approximated $378,000, excluding fees of approximately
$1,500. The purchase price received from OI amounted to approximately $128,000
and was received in cash. The remaining purchase price of approximately $250,000
from New Anchor was comprised of: approximately $200,500 in cash, $47,000 face
amount (1,879,320 shares) of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative convertible
preferred stock and $2,500 of common stock (490,898 shares with an estimated
value of $5.00 per share) of New Anchor.

The purchase price paid by New Anchor in connection with the Anchor Acquisition
is subject to adjustment. On June 13, 1997, the Company delivered to New Anchor
the closing balance sheet which indicated that the Company believed that it was
entitled to additional payments from New Anchor and Owens totaling approximately
$76,300. On July 28, 1997, New Anchor delivered its notice of disagreement to
the Company, which requested a reduction of the purchase price of approximately
$96,800. Since that time, the parties have been negotiating the amount of the
adjustment, and have reached a proposed settlement (the "Proposed Settlement").
The Proposed Settlement requires the payment by New Anchor to the Company of an
additional $1,000 in cash and the issuance of 1,225,000 warrants for the
purchase of additional shares of common stock. None of the warrants to be issued
will require any payment upon exercise. The Proposed Settlement is subject to
final approval by the Company, New Anchor and the bankruptcy court.

Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding balance of the DIP
Facility and accrued interest thereon, of approximately $109,000 at February 4,
1997. The remainder of the proceeds will be used against prepetition
liabilities, as ultimately determined under the Company's Plan of Reorganization
(see Note 3).

Upon consummation of the purchase and effective February 6, 1997, New Anchor
changed its name to Anchor Glass Container Corporation and the Company changed
its name to Anchor Resolution Corp.

As an objection to the sale, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC")
entered a determination to terminate the Company's qualified defined benefit
pension plans. However, in conjunction with the sale, New Anchor assumed all
liabilities of the plans and funded approximately $9,100 of plan contributions,
previously unfunded following the Company's filing of Chapter 11 (see Note 3).
Additionally, New Anchor issued to the plans $9,000 face amount (360,000 shares)
of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative preferred stock and Vitro agreed to
provide a limited guaranty to the PBGC with respect to the unfunded benefit
liabilities of the Company's defined benefit plans. Consequently, the PBGC
agreed not to terminate the plans as a result of the Agreement and the
assumption of the plans by New Anchor.

On October 4, 1996, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Ball-Foster Glass Container Co. L.L.C., ("Ball-Foster"). Pursuant to that
agreement, Ball-Foster was to acquire


                                      H-12
<PAGE>   66

substantially all of the assets of the Company for $365 million in cash at
closing, subject to adjustment, as set forth in that agreement. In addition,
Ball-Foster was to assume specified liabilities of the Company. Payment of the
purchase price was guaranteed by Saint-Gobain Corporation, parent company of
Ball-Foster.

Also on October 4, 1996, the Company filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court
seeking an order (i) authorizing the sale to Ball-Foster, subject to higher and
better bids, of substantially all of the Company's assets free and clear of
certain liens, claims and encumbrances and (ii) authorizing assumption and
assignment of certain unexpired leases and executory contracts. The Court had
entered several amended scheduling orders which established a timetable for the
sale process. The amended deadline for submissions of higher and better bids was
December 12, 1996. At that time, the Company received a higher and better offer
from CPI and OI. Ball-Foster received a termination fee of $3,000 from the
proceeds of the transaction.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet gives effect to the
sale of assets and business and payoff of the DIP Facility (as defined)
described above as if such transactions occurred on February 4, 1997:

The Company's remaining deficiency in assets after this sale raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

As a result of the continued decline in the Company's results of operations from
the effect of the highly competitive glass container market and the Company's
high debt level, on September 13, 1996 (the "Petition Date"), the Company filed
a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On September 30, 1996, Anchor Recycling
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, also filed a voluntary
petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 in the same court. The Chapter 11
proceedings are being jointly administered, with the Company managing the
business in the ordinary course as a debtor-in-possession under the supervision
of the Bankruptcy Court. Vitro and the Company concluded that the Chapter 11
filing was necessary in order to preserve the value of its assets and to ensure
that the business has sufficient cash resources to continue operations while it
completed the sale of the business discussed in Note 2.

Under Chapter 11 proceedings, litigation and actions by creditors to collect
certain claims existing at the Petition Date are stayed, without specific
Bankruptcy Court authorization to pay such claims. The Company had received
authorization, pursuant to first day orders, to pay certain claims related


                                      H-13
<PAGE>   67

to wages, salaries, vacation, sick pay and other claims. As a
debtor-in-possession, the Company has the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court
approval, and certain other limitations, to assume or reject certain executory
contracts, including unexpired leases. Any claim for damages resulting from the
rejection of an executory contract or an unexpired lease is treated as a general
unsecured claim in the Chapter 11 proceedings.

On September 26, 1996 the United States Trustee appointed a single unsecured
creditors' committee (the "Creditors Committee"). The Creditors' Committee has
the right to review and object to certain business transactions and has
participated in the negotiation of the Company's plan of reorganization. The
Creditors Committee has retained the firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz as
its counsel and Smith Barney Inc. as its financial advisors.

The Company obtained debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from Foothill
Capital Corporation, as agent and Congress Financial Corporation, as co-agent,
(the "Lender Group") which provided for a $130,000 DIP Credit Facility (the "DIP
Facility"), and was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 15, 1996. The
DIP Facility, which expires September 30, 1997, provides up to $130,000 under a
borrowing base formula, less prepetition advances under the Company's then
existing New Senior Credit Facility (the "Prepetition Credit Facility") with the
Lender Group, on terms substantially the same as the Prepetition Credit
Facility. On February 5, 1997, the DIP Facility was repaid in full with proceeds
from the sale as discussed in Note 2.

The DIP Facility and prepetition secured claims are collateralized by
substantially all of the assets of the Company including accounts receivable,
inventories and property, plant and equipment. The Company has continued to
accrue interest on its prepetition secured debt obligations. Because of the
Chapter 11 filing, there has been no accrual of interest on prepetition
unsecured debt subsequent to the Petition Date.

Of the cash proceeds received from the sale of substantially all the assets and
business of the Company (see Note 2), approximately $109,000 was used to repay
in full the DIP Facility and approximately $11,000 was applied to the prepayment
of real estate taxes, certain costs related to the Company's partnership with
Coors (see Note 8) and the termination fee payable to Ball-Foster (see Note 2).
The balance of the net proceeds of the sale remaining after application to the
costs of the winddown and to other administrative and priority claims will be
distributed to the creditors of the Company, including the holders of
approximately $158,000 principal amount of the Company's Senior Secured Notes
and holders of other secured and unsecured claims, pursuant to a Plan of
Reorganization which is being developed by the Company in conjunction with the
Creditors Committee.

The Company has separately reported, as reorganization items on the consolidated
statement of operations, professional fees and similar types of expenditures
relating directly to the Chapter 11 filing. The Company's policy is to expense
all such expenditures as incurred. These expenses are primarily for legal,
claims and accounting services.

</TABLE>

Because of the Chapter 11 proceedings, there has been no accrual of interest on
the $100,000 10.25% Senior Notes or the $200,000 9.875% Senior Subordinated
Debentures since September 12, 1996. If accrued, interest expense would have
increased $2,916 and $9,167, respectively, during the 1997 Interim Period and
the year ended December 31, 1996. Additionally, the amounts reflected as
prepetition liabilities do not include amounts related to potential claims,
which are substantially in excess of the recorded liabilities at February 4,
1997.

NOTE 5- LONG-TERM DEBT

At February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996, all debt which, by its terms was
previously classified as long-term at the Petition Date, is classified as
prepetition liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings (See Note 3), the Company is in
default of various covenants relating to its outstanding prepetition debt.
However, under Chapter 11 proceedings, litigation or actions by creditors
related to these defaults are stayed. In addition, the DIP Facility required
that the Company's collateral value and availability, as defined, could not be
less than a specified amount and the outstanding credit facility balance could
not be more than a specified amount as measured on a rolling four-week period
throughout the term of the DIP Facility. Prior to the repayment of the DIP
Facility, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants.

Long-term debt at December 31, 1995, giving affect to the Noteholder
Restructuring Agreement discussed below, consists of the following:

Effective January 12, 1996, the Company and the holders of the Senior Secured
Notes entered into a Noteholder Restructuring Agreement which provides for,
among other things, consent by the holders to the replacement of the then
current Credit Agreement with a new $130,000 credit facility (subsequently
replaced by the DIP Facility) and waiver by the holders to identified defaults
or events of default existing on the effective date or which may occur during
the waiver

period which expired not later than January 31, 1998. The restructuring period
was defined as the period between the effective date and the termination date,
which would have occurred no later than June 30, 1998 (the "Restructuring
Period"). The following events occurred in connection with the effectiveness of
the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement:


-    execution of the $130,000 Prepetition Credit Facility


-    mandatory prepayment on January 12, 1996 of the aggregate principal amount
     of the Senior Secured Notes as follows:

           -        Series A $12,160; Series B $64,640 and Series C $3,200;

-    payment of a restructuring fee of 1.75% of the principal amount of the
     consenting noteholders' Senior Secured Notes outstanding prior to giving
     effect to the prepayments above, approximately $4,100, and

-    $40,000 capital contribution from Vitro and a commitment from Vitro to
     contribute an additional $25,000 on or before January 31, 1997. Capital
     contributions in 1996 amounted to $92,484.

Compliance with the financial maintenance tests as defined in the amendments to
the Note Purchase Agreement, including fixed charge coverage, net worth, current
ratio and debt to equity were waived through the period ending January 31, 1998.
However, the Company was required to maintain capital expenditures and net worth
in amounts not less than those defined in the Noteholder Restructuring
Agreement.

During the Restructuring Period, the Series A Notes and Series C Notes bore a
floating rate of interest at the one-month LIBOR rate, as defined, plus 2.0%.
The interest rate was adjusted monthly. Interest on the Series B Notes is fixed
at 9.91% per annum. Interest during the Restructuring Period is payable on the
15th of each month.

Effective January 12, 1996, and concurrent with the Noteholder Restructuring
Agreement, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Foothill Capital
Corporation, as agent and Congress Financial Corporation, as co-agent, to
provide for the $130,000 Prepetition Credit Facility. $80,000 of proceeds from
the Prepetition Credit Facility were used to prepay at closing a significant
portion of certain payments of the Senior Secured Notes originally scheduled to
be made in July 1996 and July 1997 and the remaining $50,000 was used to finance
working capital and other general corporate purposes. Advances outstanding at
any one time are not to exceed an amount equal to the Borrowing Base as defined
in the Prepetition Credit Facility. Interest, at prime plus 1.125%, as defined,
is payable monthly. A commitment fee of .5% of the unused portion of the
Prepetition Credit Facility is payable monthly. The Prepetition Credit Facility
(which was subsequently replaced with the DIP Facility) was repaid February 5,
1997 with proceeds from the sale discussed in Note 2.

Through February 5, 1997 the Company had borrowings outstanding under the DIP
Facility. At February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996, advances outstanding under
the DIP Facility were $107,939 and $90,455, respectively. At December 31, 1996,
the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 9.375%.

In March 1994, Vitro provided a one year, $20,000 letter of credit facility on
behalf of the Company, thereby effectively increasing the Company's letter of
credit availability by $20,000. Outstanding letters of credit under this
facility at December 31, 1996 were $15,000. In February 1997, the Company
received an additional capital contribution of $8,400 in satisfaction of
obligations outstanding under the letter of credit facility, which was
terminated at that time.

The Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by the property, plant and equipment
of the Company with a secondary interest in inventories and accounts receivable.
The DIP Facility is collateralized by inventories and accounts receivable with a
secondary interest in the property, plant and equipment of the Company. Both the
Note Purchase Agreement and the DIP Facility provide for various covenants that
restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell or
transfer assets, make investments, enter into transactions with or make
distributions to affiliates and pay dividends or make other distributions in
respect of its capital stock, as well as require it to meet various financial
maintenance tests. Effective with the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement, the
holders of the Senior Secured Notes waived compliance with the financial
maintenance covenants through January 31, 1998. However, the Company must
maintain capital expenditures and net worth in amounts not less than those
defined in the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement.

Effective June 18, 1992, the Company issued $100,000 aggregate principal amount
of 10.25% Senior Notes due June 30, 2002 (the "Exchange Notes"). The Company
then completed an exchange offer with the exchange of all Exchange Notes for a
like principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2002, Series A (the "Senior
Notes"), issued under an Indenture dated as of October 15, 1992 between the
Company and Continental Bank, National Association, as Trustee. The Senior Notes
are unsecured obligations of the Company ranking senior in right of payment to
the Debentures (described below) and pari passu with all other existing and
future senior indebtedness of the Company. Interest is payable semi-annually in
arrears on each June 30 and December 31. Interest has not been paid or accrued
following the Petition Date.

Effective December 2, 1993, the Company completed a public offering of $200,000
aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Senior Subordinated Debentures due December
15, 2008 (the "Debentures") under an Indenture dated December 1, 1993 between
the Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee. The Debentures are unsecured
obligations, subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future senior
debt, as defined, of the Company. Interest on the Debentures is payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. Interest has not been paid or accrued
following the Petition Date.

All of the Company's debt agreements contain cross-default provisions.

NOTE 6 - RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

In January 1996, formal plans were approved to further restructure certain of
the Company's operations to respond to the continued decline in the industry
sales volume combined with the loss of a significant portion of the business of
the Company's largest customer. The Company closed its Cliffwood, New Jersey
plant effective January 1996, and substantially all hourly and salaried
employees of that plant, approximately 350, were terminated. A restructuring
charge of approximately $50,000 was recorded in the 1996. Of this amount,
approximately $24,900 related to the writedown to net realizable value of
certain manufacturing assets.

During 1994, formal plans were approved to significantly reduce the Company's
cost structure and to improve productivity. This restructuring program relates
primarily to consolidation of underutilized manufacturing operations and
provided for the closure of three of the Company's 17 manufacturing plants then
operating. The Company closed its Waukegan, Illinois and Los Angeles, California
plants in the second quarter of 1995 and its Keyser, West Virginia plant in the
third quarter of 1995. In the 1994 fourth quarter, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $79,599 and in the 1995 first quarter, an additional
$10,300 charge was recorded to reflect the benefit arrangements for employees
affected by this plan. In total, substantially all hourly and salaried employees
of these plants, approximately 725, were terminated. Of the total $89,800
charge, approximately $50,600 related to the writedown to net realizable value
of certain manufacturing assets.



                                      H-17
<PAGE>   71

The Keyser and Cliffwood plants have been recorded at net realizable value and
are held for sale. The Waukegan plant was sold in 1996 and the Los Angeles plant
will be retained by the Company as part of the acquisition discussed in Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements.

The following represents information regarding amounts charged against the
restructuring liability for the Company's restructuring plans.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION

As a condition of closing to the Noteholder Restructuring Agreement, as
discussed in Note 5, in January 1996, the Company received a $40,000 cash
capital contribution from Vitro and received a commitment from Vitro to
contribute an additional $25,000 on or before January 31, 1997. During 1996,
Vitro provided capital contributions of $92,484.

NOTE 8 - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

In March 1995, the Company and Coors entered into a long-term partnership (the
"Partnership") to produce glass bottles at the Coors glass manufacturing
facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The Partnership will employ the Company's
technology, along with capital contributions from both companies, to increase
the efficiency, capacity and volume of the Coors facility. Coors has
contributed, as its capital contribution, the facility's machinery, equipment
and certain personal property. The Company's required capital contribution was
approximately $54,000 in cash for capital spending needs over the first three
years of the partnership, of which approximately $36,015 has been contributed
through capital expenditures through December 31, 1996. The Company's investment
in the joint venture is accounted for on the equity method. Capital
contributions are recorded as the investment is funded. The Partnership has an
initial term of ten years, which can be extended for additional terms of two
years each, and the partners will share the cost benefit of achieved operational
efficiencies. In addition, Coors has entered into a separate long-term preferred
supplier agreement with the Company. The preferred supplier agreement has an
initial term of ten years, which can be extended for additional terms of two
years each. This agreement will allow the Company to supply 100% of Coors' glass
container requirements (exceeding the Partnership's production) beginning
January 1, 1996.

As discussed in Note 2, effective February 5, 1997, OI purchased the Company's
investment in the joint venture (including the assumption of related
obligations) and the preferred supplier agreement.

NOTE 9 - SALE AND LEASEBACK

In July and August 1995, the Company entered into sale and leaseback
transactions of certain manufacturing equipment located at four of the Company's
manufacturing facilities. Under the sale agreements, the Company sold the
equipment at an aggregate net selling price of approximately $48,300. In
addition, the Company entered into agreements to lease back the equipment for a
nine year term at an average annual rental of approximately $7,600. The deferred
gain of approximately $14,200, representing the excess of the selling price over
the net book value of the equipment, is being amortized at approximately $1,600
annually over the nine year operating lease term.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY INFORMATION

Container

There have been no material transactions between the Company and Container or
its subsidiaries in the 1997 Interim Period and in the years ended 1996 and
1995. During 1996, the Company sold a previously closed manufacturing facility
to Container for proceeds of approximately $750 of cash and a note receivable of
$2,800.

The nature and amount of related parties transactions during the 1997 Interim
Period were not material.

Sale of Accounts Receivable

In December 1995, approximately $30,700 of eligible trade receivables was sold
to Factoraje Serfin, S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Financiero
Serfin, S.A. de C.V., an associated company in which Vitro owns a minority
interest. This transaction resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $30,000.
These receivables were sold without recourse and the proceeds were used to fund
working capital needs.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

The consolidated group of companies, of which the Company is a member, applies
SFAS 109 under which the liability method is used in accounting for income
taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and are
measured


                                      H-19
<PAGE>   73


using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Under SFAS 109, if on the basis of available evidence,
it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will
not be realized, the asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance.

The Company had previously recognized approximately $1,825 as a deferred tax
asset, net of the valuation allowance. As a result of continuing losses,
management has determined it was no longer more likely than not that the value
of the remaining deferred tax asset would be realized. As a result, the Company
recorded an additional valuation allowance of $1,825, which is reflected as a
provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1996. The company recorded a current state income tax
provision of $250 in 1995.

The significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as
follows:

At February 4, 1997, the Company had unused net operating losses and investment
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $340,000 and $5,200, respectively,
expiring at various dates through 2011. Of these amounts, $275,000 and $0,
respectively, are not restricted as to use and expire at various dates through
2011. The balance of the carryforwards amounting to $65,000 and $5,200,
respectively, expire at various dates through 2004, and are restricted to
offsetting future taxable income of the respective companies which generated the
carryforwards.

NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS

The Company has defined benefit retirement plans for salaried and hourly-paid
employees. Benefits are calculated on a salary-based formula for salaried plans
and on a service-based formula for hourly plans. Effective December 31, 1994,
the Company changed its defined benefit plans for

The Company has substantial unfunded obligations related to its employee pension
plans. The Retirement Protection Act of 1994 requires the Company to make
significant additional funding contributions into its underfunded defined
benefit retirement plans and will increase the premiums paid to the PBGC.

Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Company did not make scheduled contribution
payments to its employee pension plans. Scheduled plan contribution payments not
made in the year ended December 31, 1996, amounted to $16,330. Of the scheduled
January 15, 1997 contribution, $3,599 was not paid.

As an objection to the sale, the PBGC entered a determination to terminate the
Company's qualified defined benefit pension plans. However, in conjunction with
the sale, New Anchor assumed all liabilities of the plans and funded
approximately $9,100 of plan contributions, previously unfunded following the
Company's filing of Chapter 11 (see Note 3). Additionally, New Anchor issued
$9,000 face amount of mandatorily redeemable 10% cumulative convertible
preferred stock and Vitro has guaranteed to fund qualified defined benefit plan
obligations up to $70,000, should New Anchor default on its obligations.
Consequently, the PBGC agreed not to terminate the plans as a result of the
Agreement and the assumption of the plans by New Anchor.

Effective December 31, 1994, the Company changed its salaried retirement and
savings programs, resulting in the freezing of benefits under its three defined
benefit pension plans for salaried employees and amending its defined
contribution savings plan for salaried employees. The freezing of benefits under
the defined benefit pension plans for salaried employees resulted in a
curtailment gain of $3,588. Effective December 31, 1996, the Company merged the
Latchford Glass Company Salaried Employees' Pension Plan into the Anchor Glass
Container Corporation Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees. Also effective
December 31, 1994, the Company merged the Diamond Bathurst Salaried Employees
Retirement Plan into the Anchor Glass Container Corporation Retirement Plan for
Salaried Employees. Under the amended savings plan, the Company will match,
beginning in 1995, employees' basic contributions to the plan in an amount equal
to 150% of the first 4% of an employee's compensation.

The Company recognized an additional minimum liability that is equal to the
difference between the accumulated benefit obligation over plan assets in excess
of accrued (prepaid) pension cost. A corresponding amount is recognized as
either an intangible asset or a reduction of equity. Pursuant to this
requirement, the Company recorded, as of February 4, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
an additional liability of $39,534, an intangible pension asset of $17,140, and
an equity reduction of $22,394. Plan assets are held by independent trustees and
consist principally of investments in equities, fixed income and government
securities.

The Company also sponsors two defined contribution plans covering substantially
all salaried and hourly employees. Expenses under these programs for the 1997
Interim Period and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were approximately
$237, $2,817 and $3,045 respectively.

NOTE 13 - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

The Company provides benefits to substantially all salaried, and certain hourly
employees under several plans. SFAS 106 requires accrual of postretirement
benefits (such as healthcare benefits) during the years an employee provides
services. Currently, the Company funds these healthcare benefits on a
pay-as-you-go basis. The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust, and
under the requirements of SFAS 106, recognizes as postretirement benefit cost
the required annual contribution.

SFAS 106 allows recognition of the cumulative effect of this liability in the
year of adoption or the amortization of the net initial transition obligation
over a period of up to twenty years. The Company elected to recognize the net
initial transition obligation of approximately $3,400 on a


                                      H-22

straight-line basis over a period of twenty years. The Company's cash flows are
not affected by implementation of SFAS 106.

</TABLE>

The assumed healthcare cost trend used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1996 was 9.0% declining
gradually to 5.5% by the year 2003, after which it remains constant. A one
percentage point increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate for each
year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 1996 by approximately 12% and the net postretirement healthcare
cost for the year ended December 31, 1996 by approximately 13%. The assumed
discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.25% for 1996.

The Company also contributes to a multi-employer trust which provides certain
other postretirement benefits to retired hourly employees. Expenses under this
program for the 1997 Interim Period and the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, were $360, $4,990 and $5,033 respectively.

NOTE 14 - LEASES

The Company leases distribution and office facilities, machinery,
transportation, data processing and office equipment under non-cancelable leases
which expire at various dates through 2004. These leases generally provide for
fixed rental payments and include renewal and purchase options at amounts which
are generally based on fair market value at expiration of the lease. The Company
has no material capital leases.

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a respondent in various environment-related cases. The
measurement of liabilities in these cases and other environmental concerns is
based on available facts of each situation and considers factors such as prior
experience in remediation efforts and presently enacted environmental laws and
regulations. In the opinion of management, based upon information presently
known, the Company has adequately provided for environmental liabilities. The
Company is not otherwise party to, and none of its assets are subject to any
other pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to its business and against which the Company is adequately insured
and indemnified or which is not material. The Company believes that the ultimate
outcome of these cases will not materially affect future operations.

NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective January 30, 1998, all of the remaining assets of the Company were

(1)  Restructuring and other charges reflects Old Anchor's implementation of a
     series of restructuring plans in an effort to respond to the continued
     decline in the industry sales volume combines with, in 1996, the loss of a
     significant portion of the business of Old Anchor's largest customer. The
     following represents information regarding the amounts charged against the
     restructuring liability for old Anchor's restructuring plans:

</TABLE>

     During the year ended December 31, 1996, Old Anchor recorded an adjustment
     to the carrying value of certain idled facilities held for sale. These
     assets were previously written down to an estimated net realizable value.
     Upon a current evaluation of quotes and offers on these properties in 1996,
     Old Anchor increased their net carrying value by approximately $9.0
     million. The balance of the restructuring liability is anticipated to be
     expended and charged against the liability over the next three years.
(2)  Impairment of long-lived assets reflects the adjustment for the write-off
     of goodwill and other long-lived assets. As a result of the declining
     profitability, diminishing cash flow and the bankruptcy proceedings, the
     recoverable value of the carrying amount of long-lived assets and
     intangibles was reviewed for impairment. Based upon this review, the amount
     of remaining excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets
     acquired at December 31, 1996, of $457.2 million and other long-lived
     assets of $33.0 million were written off in the year ended December 31,
     1996. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired had been
     amortized on a straight-line basis over a 40 year period. Amortization
     expense, included as a component of cost of products sold, was
     approximately $13.9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1996,
     1995, 1994 and 1993. See Old Anchor's Notes to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements.
(3)  Because of Chapter 11 proceedings, there has been no accrual of interest on
     the $100.0 million 10.25% Senior Notes or the $200.0 million 9.875% Senior
     Subordinated Debentures since September 12, 1996. If accrued, interest
     expense would have increased $2.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively
     during the 1997 Interim Period and the year ended December 31, 1996.
(4)  Income tax provision reflects any additional valuation allowances required
     to be recorded under SFAS 109. The adoption of SFAS 109 effective January
     1, 1993 resulted in an increase in the cumulative net deferred tax asset by
     $1.8 million. Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax
     effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and
     liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
     income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
     that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. If on
     the basis of available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a
     portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, the asset must be
     reduced by a valuation allowance.

</TABLE>

         The net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $655.8 million
compared to a net loss of $66.0 million for 1995. Included in the loss for 1996
is the impairment of long-lived assets of $490.2 million. Included in the 1996
and 1995 results were first quarter charges of $50.0 million and $10.5 million,
respectively, for Old Anchor's s 1996 and 1995 restructuring programs. Excluding
the effect of these items, net loss would have been $115.6 million compared to
$55.7 million for 1995.

         The decline in Old Anchor's operations is a direct result of Old
Anchor's high debt levels and industry-wide volume declines that have led to
severe competitive pricing pressures, negatively impacting operating results.
Net sales for 1996 decreased 14.9% compared to 1995, on a volume decline of
approximately 14%, primarily in the beer, iced tea and soft drink markets. As an
example, Old Anchor's 1996 volume allocation from its largest customer in 1995,
Anheuser-Busch, has been significantly reduced. The softness in overall industry
volume shipments has led to severe competitive pricing pressures, negatively
impacting operating margins. In accordance with its restructuring plans, Old
Anchor closed its Cliffwood, New Jersey plant in January 1996, and closed its
Waukegan, Illinois, Los Angeles, California and Keyser, West Virginia plants in
1995.

NET SALES

         Net sales for 1996 were $814.4 million, a decrease of 14.9% compared to
$956.6 million for 1995. The decrease in net sales principally reflects the
softening in 1996 of the year-to-year


                                      H-28
<PAGE>   82

demand for glass containers which has resulted in increased competition for
market share and lower pricing trends. In addition, as described above,
Anheuser-Busch has significantly reduced its purchases from Old Anchor.

COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

         Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales were 102.1% for 1996
compared to 94.8% for 1995. This increase principally reflects the impact of
reduced shipping volumes and lower pricing trends, as described above. Partially
offsetting this increase is the impact of Old Anchor's strategic initiatives and
cost savings derived from Old Anchor's restructuring plans and re-engineering
program.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         Selling and administrative expenses declined $9.4 million, or 19.2% in
1996 compared to 1995. This decrease principally reflects lower personnel and
fringe benefit costs as a result of headcount reductions associated with Old
Anchor's re-engineering and cost reduction programs.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

         In the 1995 first quarter, an additional $10.3 million charge was
recorded to reflect the benefit arrangements for employees affected by this
plan. In January 1996, formal plans were approved to further restructure certain
of Old Anchor's operations to respond to the continued decline in the industry
sales volume combined with the loss of a significant portion of the business of
Old Anchor's largest 1995 customer. A restructuring charge of approximately
$50.0 million has been recorded in the 1996 Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the closure of the Cliffwood, New Jersey plant and other restructuring
obligations.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

         As a result of declining profitability, diminishing cash flows and the
bankruptcy proceedings, the entire $457.2 million of goodwill and $33.0 million
of other long-lived assets were written off.

WRITE-UP OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

         In December 1996, Old Anchor wrote up the value of certain assets held
for sale by $9.0 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense was $48.6 million for 1996 compared to $56.8 million
for 1995. Because of the Bankruptcy Proceedings, there has been no accrual of
interest on the $100.0 million 10.25% Senior Notes or the $200.0 million 9.857%
Senior Subordinated Debentures since September 12, 1996. If accrued, interest
expense would have increased by $9.1 million in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As a result of the continued decline in Old Anchor's results of
operations from the effect of the highly competitive glass container market, and
Old Anchor's high debt level, on September 13, 1996 (the "Petition Date"), Old
Anchor filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On September 30,
1996, Anchor Recycling Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Anchor,
also filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 in the same
court. The Chapter 11 proceedings are being jointly



                                      H-29
<PAGE>   83

administered, with Old Anchor managing the business in the ordinary course as a
debtor-in-possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. Old Anchor
concluded that the Chapter 11 filing was necessary in order to preserve the
value of its assets and to ensure that the business had sufficient cash
resources to continue operations while it completed the sale of the business
discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
appearing elsewhere herein.

         Old Anchor obtained debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from
Foothill Capital Corporation, as agent and Congress Financial Corporation, as
co-agent (the "Lender Group") to proved for a $130.0 million DIP Credit Facility
(the "DIP Facility"), which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 15,
1996. The DIP Facility, which would expire September 30, 1997, provided up to
$130.0 million under a borrowing base formula, less prepetition advances under
Old Anchor's then existing Prepetition Credit Facility with the Lender Group, on
terms substantially the same as the Prepetition Credit Facility.

         Advances outstanding at any one time were not to exceed an amount equal
to the Borrowing Base, consisting of accounts receivable and finished product
inventory, as defined in the Prepetition Credit Facility, and amended by the DIP
Facility. At December 31, 1996, Old Anchor's available borrowing base, as
defined under the DIP Facility was approximately $113.7 million against which
$90.5 was outstanding. Interest, at prime plus 1.125%, as defined, was payable
monthly. A commitment fee of 0.5% of the unused portion of the DIP Facility was
payable monthly.

         On February 5, 1997, Anchor Glass Container Corporation ("New Anchor"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consumers Packaging, Inc. ("CPI"), and
Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. ("OI") acquired substantially all of the
assets and business of Old Anchor in accordance with the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated December 18, 1996 (the "Agreement") as discussed in
Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The total purchase
price approximated $387.9 million, excluding fees of approximately $9.9 million.
The purchase price received from OI amounted to approximately $128.4 million and
was received in cash. The remaining purchase price of approximately $250.0
million from New Anchor was comprised of approximately $200.5 million in cash,
$47.0 million face amount (1,879,320 shares) of mandatorily redeemable 10%
cumulative convertible preferred stock and $2.5 million of common stock (490,898
shares with an estimated value of $5.00 per share) of New Anchor. The purchase
price is subject to adjustment as defined in the Agreement.

         Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding balance of
the DIP Facility and accrued interest thereon, at February 5, 1997, of
approximately $109.0 million. The remainder of the proceeds will be used to
satisfy prepetition liabilities, as to be determined under Old Anchor's Plan of
Reorganization. Old Anchor's principal sources of liquidity through February 5,
1997 were funds derived from operations and borrowings under the DIP Facility.

         In 1996, operating activities consumed $28.4 million in cash compared
to $0.4 million of cash provided in 1995. These increases in cash consumed
reflect the increase in losses and the changes in working capital items during
the periods compared.

         Capital expenditures in 1996 were $46.3 million compared to $70.4
million in 1995. In addition, in 1996, Old Anchor invested approximately $18.6
million in the joint venture with Coors Brewing Company ("Coors"). Old Anchor
invested $20.0 million in the joint venture in 1995. Also in 1995, Old Anchor
entered into sale and leaseback transactions, with respect to certain of its
glass manufacturing equipment, with an aggregate net selling price of
approximately $48.3 million.

         Cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 were $78.9 million and $52.2 million, respectively. The 1996 cash
flows from financing activities

principally reflects a $92.5 million capital contribution received from Vitro,
Sociedad Anonima and borrowings under the Prepetition Credit Facility, modified
by the DIP Facility. In February 1997, Old Anchor received an additional capital
contribution of $8.4 million in satisfaction of obligations outstanding under
the $20.0 million letter of credit facility, which was terminated at that time.

         As a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings, Old Anchor is in default of
various covenants relating to Old Anchor's outstanding prepetition debt.
However, under Chapter 11 proceedings, litigation or actions by creditors
related to theses defaults are stayed. In addition, the DIP Facility required
that Old Anchor's collateral value and availability, as defined, could not be
less than a specified amount as measured on a rolling four-week period
throughout the term of the DIP Facility. Prior to the repayment of the DIP
Facility, Old Anchor was in full compliance with these covenants.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         The impact of inflation on the costs of Old Anchor, and the ability to
pass on cost increases in the form of increased sales prices, is dependent upon
market conditions. While the general level of inflation in the domestic economy
has been at relatively low levels since Old Anchor's formation in 1983, Old
Anchor has generally been unable, since the end of 1991, to fully pass on
inflationary cost increases as a result of competitive pricing pressures. This
has negatively impacted Old Anchor's operating results.

SEASONALITY

         Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and
soft drink industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months, Old
Anchor's shipment volume is typically highest in the second and third quarters.
Consequently, Old Anchor historically builds inventory during the first quarter
in anticipation of seasonal demands during the second and third quarters.
However, industry patterns existing over the last 18 months have somewhat
altered the normal seasonal trends. In addition, Old Anchor generally schedules
shutdowns of its plants for furnace rebuilds and machine repairs in the first
and fourth quarters of the year to coincide with scheduled holiday and vacation
time under its labor union contracts. These shutdowns and seasonal sales
patterns adversely affect profitability during the first and fourth quarters.
