Item 5. Restatement of Financial Statements for Exit of the Commercial Glass
Packaging Business
On October 1, 1996, the company sold its remaining interest in Ball-Foster Glass
Container Co., L.L.C., (Ball-Foster), a joint-venture company formed in 1995, to
Compagnie de Saint-Gobain. With this sale, the company no longer participates in
the manufacture of glass containers. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 and notes thereto, and the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period
ended September 29, 1996 and notes thereto, filed as Exhibit 13.1 and Exhibit
13.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein
by reference, have been restated from amounts previously reported to segregate
the financial effects of the commercial glass packaging business as discontinued
operations.
Note: This Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated exhibits may contain
forward-looking statements as encouraged by the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are necessarily projections which
are subject to change upon the occurrence of certain events which may affect the
business, many of which are set forth in the company's Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 1996.
