INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This report of Anchor Glass Container Corporation (“Anchor” or the “Company”) includes ''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 including, among other things, statements concerning:

	•		the Company’s liquidity and capital resources;
	•		competitive pressures and trends in the glass container or beverage and food industries;
	•		prevailing interest rates;
	•		prices for energy, particularly natural gas, and other raw materials;
	•		legal proceedings and regulatory matters; and
	•		general economic conditions.

     Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside the control of the Company, that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the highly competitive nature of the glass container industry and the intense competition from makers of alternative forms of packaging; fluctuations in the price of natural gas; the Company’s focus on the beer industry and its dependence on certain key customers; the seasonal nature of brewing and other beverage industries; volatility in the demand from emerging new markets; the Company’s dependence on certain executive officers; and changes in environmental and other government regulations. The Company operates in a changing environment in which new risk factors can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all of these risks, nor can it assess the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may 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 statements.

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

Organization of the Company

     On August 30, 2002, Anchor, a Delaware corporation, completed a restructuring of its existing debt and equity securities pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Certain investment funds and managed accounts affiliated with Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”) acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Anchor through their investment in Anchor Glass Container Holding L.L.C. (“AGC Holding”), a Delaware limited liability company formed in August 2002 and the parent company of Anchor. As of March 31, 2003, AGC Holding owns approximately 95% of the outstanding common stock and 100% of the outstanding Series C Participating Preferred Stock of Anchor. Certain current officers and a former officer of Anchor hold the remaining outstanding shares of common stock of Anchor.

Condensed Financial Statements

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

     The effective date of the Company’s Plan was August 30, 2002. The financial statements of the Company as of and for periods subsequent to August 31, 2002 are referred to as the “Reorganized Company” statements. All financial statements prior to that date are referred to as the “Predecessor Company” statements.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Subject to the limitations on comparability indicated in the preceding paragraph, it is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Anchor included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

     Certain amounts of prior periods in the accompanying condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 2 – Senior Secured Notes

     Effective February 7, 2003, the Company completed an offering of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013, aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), issued under an indenture dated as of February 7, 2003, among the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company, ranking equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, on substantially all of Anchor’s existing real property, equipment and other fixed assets relating to Anchor’s nine operating glass container manufacturing facilities. The collateral does not include inventory, accounts receivables or intangible assets.

     Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, net of fees, were approximately $289,000 and were used to repay 100% of the principal amount outstanding under Anchor’s 11.25% First Mortgage Notes due 2005, aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (“First Mortgage Notes”) plus accrued interest

thereon ($156,256 in total), 100% of the principal amount outstanding under the senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) plus accrued interest thereon and a prepayment fee ($20,354 in total) and advances then outstanding under the $100,000 credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) ($66,886), which included funds for certain of the Company’s capital improvement projects. The remaining proceeds of approximately $45,000 were used to terminate certain equipment leases by purchasing from the respective lessors the equipment leased thereunder.

     Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues at 11% per annum and is payable semiannually on each February 15 and August 15 to registered holders of the Senior Secured Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. The first interest payment date is August 15, 2003.

     The Senior Secured Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option on or after February 15, 2008, at redemption prices listed in the Indenture. At any time (which may be more than once) before February 15, 2006, the Company can choose to redeem up to 35% of the initial outstanding notes with money raised in one or more public equity offerings, at redemption prices listed in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Company will be required to offer to purchase all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

     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 payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the granting of additional liens, mergers, consolidations and sale of assets and transactions with affiliates.

     The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on February 7, 2003. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission, exchange notes having substantially identical terms as the Senior Secured Notes. In connection therewith, a registration statement was filed on April 11, 2003.

NOTE 3 – Equity Incentive Plan

     In October 2002, the Board of Directors of Anchor (the “Board”) approved an Equity Incentive Plan, designed to motivate and retain individuals who are responsible for the attainment of the Company’s primary long-term performance goals that covers employees, directors and consultants. The plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options and restricted stock for shares of Anchor common stock to participants of the plan selected by the Board or a committee of the Board (the “Administrator”). Effective January 9, 2003, the Administrator granted a total of 200,000 non-qualified stock options to selected participants. The terms and conditions of awards, as determined by the Administrator, are as follows: 50% of an option grant vests 1/3 on the first anniversary of the grant date, 1/3 on the second anniversary of the grant date and 1/3 on the third anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 50% of the option grant vests in three tranches of equal amounts on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date if the Company attains certain performance targets established by the Board.

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 — Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 – Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”) to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company has adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS 123 by applying the prospective method
