NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Statement of Income for the three- and six-month period ended
June 30, 2006, and 2005, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position at June 30, 2006, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, and 2005, are unaudited. In
our opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial
position, and cash flows for the periods and at the date indicated. These
statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with Pactiv's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which may be found at www.pactiv.com,
under the Investor Relations link in the subsection entitled "SEC Filings", or a
free copy may be obtained by contacting Investor Relations at (866) 456-5439.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-year financial information
to conform with current-year presentation.

We have three reporting segments: Consumer Products, Foodservice/Food Packaging,
and Other.

     - Consumer Products manufactures disposable plastic, foam, molded-fiber,
       pressed-paperboard, and aluminum packaging products and sells them to
       customers such as grocery stores, mass merchandisers, and discount
       chains. Products include waste bags, food-storage bags, and disposable
       tableware and cookware. We sell many of our consumer products under
       well-known trademarks, such as Hefty(R).

     - Foodservice/Food Packaging manufactures foam, clear plastic, aluminum,
       pressed-paperboard, and molded-fiber packaging products and sells them to
       customers in the food-distribution channel, who prepare and process food
       for consumption. Customers include foodservice distributors, restaurants
       and other institutional foodservice outlets, food processors, and grocery
       chains.

     - Other relates to corporate and administrative-service operations and
       retiree-benefit income and expense.

The accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those for
Pactiv as a whole. Where discrete financial information is not available by
segment, reasonable allocations of expenses and assets/liabilities are used.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a complete discussion of our accounting policies, refer to Pactiv's most
recent filing on Form 10-K.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R) "Share-Based
Payments", which requires that the fair value of all share-based payments to
employees, including stock options, be recognized in financial statements. SFAS
No. 123(R) superceded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which required that the
intrinsic-value method be used in determining compensation expense for
share-based payments to employees. Under SFAS No. 123(R), employee-compensation
expense is based on the grant-date fair value of awards, and is recognized in
the Statement of Income over the period that recipients of awards are required
to provide related service (normally the vesting period).

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair-value method of accounting for
employee stock-compensation costs as outlined in SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to that
date, we used the intrinsic-value method in accordance with requirements of APB
Opinion No. 25. The following table shows the effects on net income and earnings
per share had the fair-value method been used in determining stock-based
compensation costs in the three-and six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

</Table>

Effective November 28, 2005, our board of directors replaced stock options with
performance shares under our long-term compensation program. As part of this
change, the board accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options as of
that date. Accelerating the vesting of options will give rise to a reduction in
compensation costs going forward, compared with what would have been the case if
we had commenced the expensing of these options in 2006.

ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

On a recurring basis, we sell an undivided interest in a pool of trade
receivables meeting certain criteria to a third party as an alternative to debt
financing. Such sales, which represent a form of off-balance-sheet financing,
are recorded as a reduction of accounts and notes receivable in the Statement of
Financial Position. Related proceeds are included in cash provided by operating
activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. No receivables were sold at June 30,
2006, while amounts totaling $95 million were sold at June 30, 2005. Discounts
and fees related to these sales were $1 million for the three-and six-month
period ended June 30, 2005, and were immaterial for the same periods in 2006.
These expenses are included in "other expense" in the Statement of Income. In
the event that either Pactiv or the third-party purchaser of the trade
receivables were to discontinue this program, our debt would increase, or our
cash balance would decrease, by an amount corresponding to the level of sold
receivables at such time.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method as of January
1, 2006. The impact if SFAS No. 123(R) had been adopted in prior periods is
shown under the "Stock Based Compensation" section of this note. The one-time
cumulative adjustment recorded in connection with adopting SFAS No. 123(R) was
immaterial for the first six months of 2006.

We elected to use the simplified method in calculating our additional paid-in
capital pool upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), as described in FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 123(R) -- 3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting for the
Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards."

                                        7
<PAGE>

SFAS No. 123(R) requires that tax deductions for compensation costs in excess of
amounts recognized for accounting purposes be reported as cash flow from
financing activities, rather than as cash flow from operating activities. Such
"excess" amounts totaled $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Tax
deductions for compensation costs did not exceed amounts recognized for book
purposes for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes," which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN No. 48 establishes a threshold condition that
a tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be
recognized in the financial statements. In addition, FIN No. 48 provides
guidance regarding measurement, derecognition, classification, and disclosure of
tax positions. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing FIN No. 48
and evaluating its potential impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

In the first quarter of 2004, we announced a restructuring program to reduce
manufacturing capacity and overhead costs and to reinvest a portion of the
related savings in strategic growth initiatives. The total cost of the
restructuring program, the majority of which was executed in the second quarter
of 2004, was $84 million; $54 million after tax, or $0.35 per share, which is
summarized below.

NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 12, 2005, we completed the sale of most of our protective- and
flexible-packaging businesses to Pregis Corporation for $523 million. These
businesses are reported in our financial statements as discontinued operations.

                                        8

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, sales from discontinued
operations were $224 million and $443 million, respectively. The loss from
discontinued operations before taxes for the same periods was $55 million and
$53 million, respectively. No income from discontinued operations was recorded
in the three months or six months ended June 30, 2006.

Liabilities related to discontinued operations totaled $16 million at June 30,
2006, and $20 million at December 31, 2005, and included obligations related to
income taxes, certain royalty payments, and the costs of closing a facility in
Europe.

In the first six months of 2006, we acquired 5,711,600 shares of our common
stock at an average price of $23.97 per share, representing a total outlay of
$137 million. In the first six months of 2005, we did not repurchase any of our
common stock.

GRANTOR TRUST

In November 1999, we established a grantor trust and reserved 3,200,000 shares
of Pactiv common stock for the trust. These shares were issued to the trust in
January 2000. This so-called "rabbi trust" is designed to assure the payment of
deferred compensation and supplemental pension benefits. These shares are not
considered outstanding for purposes of financial reporting.

We have post-retirement health-care and life-insurance plans that cover certain
of our salaried and hourly employees who retire in accordance with the
provisions of these plans. Benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payments,
and other limitations. Post-retirement plans are not funded. We reserve the
right to change post-retirement plans.

NOTE 11. CONTINGENCIES

In November 2004, a law firm purporting to represent more than 1,400 potential
plaintiffs, who allegedly experienced various personal injuries and property
damages as a result of the alleged release of chemical substances from a
wood-treatment facility in Lockhart, Alabama, during the period from 1963 to
1998, notified us that it believes we are at least partially responsible for
some of such alleged injuries and damages. A predecessor of Pactiv owned the
facility from 1978 to 1983. The letter was addressed to Pactiv and Louisiana-
Pacific Corporation, the current owner of the facility, to whom a predecessor of
Pactiv sold the facility in 1983. As of the date of this report, 12 lawsuits,
covering several hundred plaintiffs, have been filed in state and federal court
in Alabama, seeking unspecified damages. We are not currently able to quantify
our financial exposure, if any, relating to this matter. We intend to defend
these lawsuits vigorously and any other lawsuits that may be commenced against
us by the potential plaintiffs.

In March 2005, we filed a declaratory-judgment action in the United States
District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, related to a superfund site in
Filer City, Michigan. The final clean-up remedy for the site was pursuant to a
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Record of Decision and Administrative
Order in 1993, in which the EPA expressly determined that conditions at the site
posed no current or potentially unacceptable risk to human health or the
environment. We contend that, because of the federal EPA action in 1993, the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is precluded from demanding that
Pactiv undertake additional investigative and remedial work at the site. While
we cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding, based on our assessment of the
facts and circumstances now known, we do not believe it will have a material
effect on our financial position.

We are party to other legal proceedings arising from our operations. We
establish reserves for claims and proceedings when it is probable that
liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be
made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters,
based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, we do not
believe that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position. However, actual outcomes may
be different from those expected and could have a material effect on our results
of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

We are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution-control laws and
regulations. From time to time, we identify costs or liabilities arising from
compliance with environmental laws and regulations. When related liabilities are
probable and can be reasonably estimated, we establish appropriate reserves.
Estimated liabilities may change as additional information becomes available. We
appropriately adjust our reserves as new information on possible clean-up costs,
expense and effectiveness of alternative clean-up methods, and other potential
liabilities is received. We do not expect that any additional liabilities
recorded as a result of the availability of new information will have a material
adverse effect on our financial position. However, such costs could have a
material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular
period.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 13, 2006, our board of directors increased our share-repurchase

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Financial statements for all periods presented in this report have been prepared
on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. All per-share information is presented on a
diluted basis unless otherwise noted. Certain reclassifications have been made
to the prior-year financial information to conform with current-year
presentation.

We have three reporting segments: Consumer Products, Foodservice/Food Packaging,
and Other.

     - Consumer Products manufactures disposable plastic, foam, molded-fiber,
       pressed-paperboard, and aluminum packaging products and sells them to
       customers such as grocery stores, mass merchandisers, and discount
       chains. Products include waste bags, food-storage bags, and disposable
       tableware and cookware. We sell many of our consumer products under
       well-known trademarks, such as Hefty(R).

     - Foodservice/Food Packaging manufactures foam, clear plastic, aluminum,
       pressed-paperboard, and molded-fiber packaging products and sells them to
       customers in the food-distribution channel who prepare and process food
       for consumption. Customers include foodservice distributors, restaurants
       and other institutional foodservice outlets, food processors, and grocery
       chains.

     - Other relates to corporate and administrative-service operations and
       retiree-benefit income and expense.

The accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those for
Pactiv as a whole. Where discrete financial information is not available by
segment, reasonable allocations of expenses and assets/liabilities are used.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

In the first quarter of 2004, we announced a restructuring program to reduce
manufacturing capacity and overhead costs and to reinvest a portion of the
related savings in strategic growth initiatives. The total cost of the
restructuring program, the majority of which was executed in the second quarter
of 2004, was $84 million; $54 million after tax, or $0.35 per share, which is
summarized below.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Significant Trends

The principal raw materials used to manufacture our products are plastic resins,
principally polystyrene and polyethylene. Average industry prices for
polystyrene were approximately 7% lower in the second quarter of 2006 than in
the same period of 2005, driven principally by softer market demand and lower
benzene prices. Lower resin costs helped improve the spread (the difference
between selling prices and raw-material costs) on our polystyrene-based products
in the second quarter of 2006. Average industry prices for polyethylene rose
approximately 16% in the second quarter of 2006, compared with the same period
in 2005, fueled by greater demand and higher natural-gas and ethane prices. Over
the past three years, we were able to raise selling prices in many areas of our
business to mitigate the effect of resin cost increases.

Raw-material costs were lower on average in the second quarter, compared with
the first quarter. However, we exited the quarter at a higher cost level. As oil
prices remain near their historic highs, resin costs will likely continue to be
a source of uncertainty for us in the near-term. Resin suppliers have announced
price increases effective in the third quarter of 2006. At this time, it is not
clear whether these price increases will be implemented as announced. We
continue to closely monitor the resin marketplace in order to respond quickly to
any raw-material cost increases.

Our business is sensitive to other energy-related cost movements, particularly
those that affect transportation, logistics, and utility costs. Historically, we
have been able to mitigate the effect of higher energy-related costs with
productivity improvements and other cost reductions. However, if energy-related
costs increase significantly in the future, we may not be able to fully offset
such increases with productivity gains.

New consumer product lines launched in 2005 included Hefty(R) Serve 'n Store(R)
tableware, Hefty(R) Easy Grip(TM) cups, and Hefty(R) EZ Ovenware(TM) Casserole
Pans. In the second quarter of 2006, we continued to benefit from better
operating efficiencies and lower new-product launch costs in our Consumer
Products segment. For full year 2006, we expect the negative impact on income
from the launch of new products to be about one-half of what it was in 2005.

<PAGE>

Increased Consumer Products sales reflected 9% pricing gains and 1% volume
growth. New distribution and strong promotions gave rise to an increase in
food-storage bag shipments, and a rebound in sales of Hefty(R) foam products led
to growth in tableware. Waste bags also posted a slight volume increase.

Sales growth in the Foodservice/Food Packaging business was driven by pricing
gains. Volume declined slightly driven by sluggish market conditions, our
decision to prune certain lower-margin product lines, and the impact of a major
fast-food chain's decision to discontinue a menu item that used packaging
sourced solely from Pactiv.

</Table>

Total operating income increased significantly driven primarily by higher
selling prices, manufacturing and logistics productivity gains, and lower
product-launch costs, offset partially by higher selling, general, and
administrative (SG&A) costs.

Operating income for the Consumer Products business nearly doubled compared with
2005. The increase was driven principally by higher selling prices and lower
product-launch costs, offset partially by higher advertising and promotion
costs.

Operating income for the Foodservice/Food Packaging business increased
significantly from the prior year, reflecting higher selling prices and lower
operating costs.

Operating income for the Other segment decreased from 2005, principally because
of higher compensation-related expenses and lower noncash pension income.

Income from Continuing Operations

We recorded income from continuing operations of $69 million, or $0.49 per
share, in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $37 million, or $0.24 per
share, in 2005.

Sales increased on the strength of previous pricing actions and higher volume
from acquisitions. Excluding the positive impact of acquisitions ($16 million),
sales grew 7%.

Sales growth in the Consumer Products business reflected 10% pricing gains and
2% volume growth. Volume growth was led by gains in food-storage bags and
tableware, offset partially by a small decline in waste bags.

Foodservice/Food Packaging sales growth was driven by pricing gains of 5% and
acquisition related growth of 2%. Organic volume for the period was relatively
flat, primarily reflecting sluggish market conditions, our

Total operating income improved significantly from 2005, driven by higher
selling prices and lower new-product launch costs, offset, in part, by higher
SG&A costs. Total operating income included a credit of $1 million in 2006 and a
charge of $6 million in 2005 for restructuring.

Operating income for the Consumer Products business nearly doubled compared with
2005. The increase was due primarily to higher selling prices and lower
new-product launch costs, offset, in part, by slightly higher advertising and
promotion costs.

Operating income for the Foodservice/Food Packaging business increased
significantly from 2005. The increase primarily reflected higher selling prices,
benefits accruing from our efforts to increase sales of higher-margin products,
and operating-cost improvements resulting from our lean-manufacturing programs.
Operating income included a credit of $1 million in 2006 and a charge of $5
million in 2005 for restructuring.

Operating income for the Other segment decreased from 2005, principally because
of higher compensation-related expenses and lower noncash pension income.

Income from Continuing Operations

We recorded income from continuing operations of $120 million, or $0.84 per
share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with $58 million, or
$0.38 per share, in 2005.

  Investing activities......................................   (26)  (174)      148
  Financing activities......................................  (116)  (137)       21
</Table>

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from
the reduced usage of our accounts receivable securitization program (See Note
2), offset partially by the increase in net income.

Cash used by investing activities was $26 million in 2006, primarily
representing capital expenditures, compared with $174 million in 2005, which
included $98 million related to the Newspring acquisition and $75 million for
capital expenditures.

Cash used by financing activities was $116 million in 2006, reflecting the
repurchase of company stock ($137 million), offset by the issuance of company
stock ($21 million) in connection with the administration of employee-benefit
plans. Cash used by financing activities was $137 million in 2005, reflecting
repayment of the company's synthetic-lease facility balance ($169 million),
offset partially by the issuance of company stock ($11 million) in connection
with the administration of employee-benefits plans, an increase in revolving-
credit borrowings ($11 million), and future amounts due in connection with the
acquisition of Newspring ($11 million).

Capital Commitments

Commitments for authorized capital expenditures totaled approximately $48
million at June 30, 2006. It is anticipated that the majority of these
expenditures will be funded over the remainder of the year from existing cash
and short-term investments and internally generated cash.

Contractual Obligations

There has been no material change in the company's aggregate contractual
obligations since the end of 2005.

Liquidity and Off-Balance-Sheet Financing

We use various sources of funding to manage liquidity. Sources of liquidity
include cash flow from operations and a 5-year revolving-credit facility. On
April 19, 2006, we finalized an agreement to increase our revolving-credit
facility from $600 to $750 million. No amounts were outstanding at June 30,
2006. We were in full compliance with financial and other covenants of the
revolving-credit agreement at the end of the second

                                        18
<PAGE>

quarter of 2006. We also use an asset-securitization program as
off-balance-sheet financing. No amounts were securitized under this program at
June 30, 2006, or December 31, 2005.

We have pension plans that cover substantially all of our employees. Funding of
the qualified U.S. plan is determined by the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act. Based on long-term projections and regulations in existence at June 30,
2006, we do not expect to be required to contribute cash to this plan through at
least 2014.

We believe that cash flow from operations, available cash reserves, and the
ability to obtain cash under our credit facilities and asset-securitization
program will be sufficient to meet current and future liquidity and capital
requirements.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R) "Share-Based
Payments," which requires that the fair value of all share-based payments to
employees, including stock options, be recognized in financial statements. SFAS
No. 123(R) superceded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which required that the
intrinsic-value method be used in determining compensation expense for
share-based payments to employees. Under SFAS No. 123(R), employee-compensation
expense is based on the grant-date fair value of awards, and is recognized in
the Statement of Income over the period that recipients of awards are required
to provide related service (normally the vesting period).

We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method as of January
1, 2006. The impact if SFAS No. 123(R) had been adopted in prior periods is
shown under the "Stock Based Compensation" section of Note 2. The one-time
cumulative adjustment recorded in connection with adopting SFAS No. 123(R) was
immaterial for the first six months of 2006.

We elected to use the simplified method in calculating our additional paid-in
capital pool upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), as described in FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 123(R) -- 3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting for the
Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards."

SFAS No. 123(R) requires that tax deductions for compensation costs in excess of
amounts recognized for accounting purposes be reported as cash flow from
financing activities, rather than as cash flow from operating activities. Such
"excess" amounts totaled $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Tax
deductions for compensation costs did not exceed amounts recognized for book
purposes for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes," which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN No. 48 establishes a threshold condition that
a tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be
recognized in the financial statements. In addition, FIN No. 48 provides
guidance regarding measurement, derecognition, classification, and disclosure of
tax positions. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing FIN No. 48
and evaluating its potential impact on our financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a complete discussion of the company's critical accounting policies, refer
to Pactiv's most recent filing on Form 10-K.

                                        19
<PAGE>

         CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS
            OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including
statements in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" section and in the notes to the financial statements,
are "forward-looking statements." All statements other than statements of
historical fact, including statements regarding prospects and future results,
are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements generally can be
identified by the use of terms and phrases such as "will", "believe",
"anticipate", "may", "might", "could", "expect", "estimated", "projects",
"intends", "foreseeable future", and similar terms and phrases. These
forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on our
current expectations or projections about future events. Accordingly, these
forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and
uncertainties. While we believe that the assumptions underlying these
forward-looking statements are reasonable and make the statements in good faith,
actual results almost always vary from expected results, and the differences
could be material.

See "Risk Factors" section (Item 1A) in our most recently filed Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-K and Part II (Item 1A) of this report for
some of the factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ
materially from future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These factors include the following:

     - Changes in consumer demand and selling prices for our products, including
       new products that our competitors or we may introduce that could impact
       sales and margins.

     - Material substitutions and changes in costs of raw materials, including
       plastic resins, labor, utilities, or transportation that could impact our
       expenses and margins.

     - Changes in laws or governmental actions, including changes in regulations
       such as those relating to air emissions or plastics generally.

     - The availability or cost of capital could impact growth or acquisition
       opportunities.

     - Workforce factors such as strikes or other labor interruptions.

     - The general economic, political, and competitive conditions in countries
       in which we operate, including currency fluctuations and other risks
       associated with operating outside of the U. S.

     - Changes in (1) assumptions regarding the long-term rate of return on
       pension assets and other factors, (2) the discount rate, and (3) the
       level of amortization of actuarial gains and losses.

     - Proposed changes in U.S. and/or foreign governmental regulations relating
       to pension-plan funding.

     - Changes enacted by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or
       other regulatory or accounting bodies. See "Changes in Accounting
       Principles."

     - Competition from producers located in countries that have lower labor and
       other costs.

     - Our ability to integrate new businesses that we may acquire or to dispose
       of businesses or business segments that we may wish to divest.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to market risks related to changes in foreign-currency exchange
rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. To manage these risks we may enter
into various hedging contracts in accordance with established policies and
procedures. We do not use hedging instruments for trading purposes and are not a
party to any transactions involving leveraged derivatives.

Foreign-Currency Exchange

We use foreign-currency forward contracts to hedge our exposure to adverse
changes in exchange rates, primarily related to the euro and the British pound.
Associated gains or losses offset gains or losses on underlying assets or
liabilities.

In managing foreign-currency risk, we aggregate existing positions and hedge
residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. We did not have any
foreign-currency forward contracts in effect at June 30, 2006.

Interest Rates

At June 30, 2006, we had public-debt securities of $875 million outstanding,
with fixed interest rates and maturity dates ranging from 10 months to 21 years.
Should we decide to redeem these securities prior to their stated maturity, we
would incur costs based on the fair value of the securities at that time. In
addition, we had floating-rate debt of $4 million outstanding at June 30, 2006.

The following table provides information about Pactiv's financial instruments
that are sensitive to interest-rate risks.

</Table>

Prior to our spin-off from Tenneco Inc., we entered into an interest-rate swap
to hedge our exposure to interest-rate movements. We settled this swap in
November 1999, incurring a $43 million loss, which is being recognized as
additional interest expense over the average life of the underlying debt.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the appropriate time
periods. We, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, and we
and such officers have concluded that such controls and procedures were adequate
and effective as of June 30, 2006.

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30,
2006, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In August 2004, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 5
million shares of our common stock. In August 2005 and October 2005, the board
of directors approved the repurchase of an additional 6.1 million and 6.5
million shares, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the remaining number of
shares authorized for repurchase under these plans was 2.1 million. On July 13,
2006, the board of directors approved a plan to repurchase an additional 10
million shares of our common stock. We repurchase shares using open-market or
privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares are held in treasury for
general corporate purposes. There are no expiration dates for the current
share-repurchase authorizations.

The following table summarizes our stock repurchases in the second quarter of
2006.
