Exhibit 99.1

Estimated Berry Plastics Fiscal 2010 Second Quarter

Our second fiscal quarter for fiscal year 2010 ended on April 3, 2010. Below is an unaudited estimate of our financial performance for the fiscal 2010 second quarter. These amounts are only estimates and may change materially as a result of management’s completion of our results for the fiscal 2010 second quarter.

We estimate that net sales will total approximately $1,056 million during the fiscal 2010 second quarter, representing an increase of 39% over $758 million in the fiscal 2009 second quarter. This $298 million increase includes acquisition volume increase of 33% and an estimated base volume increase of 7% partially offset by estimated net selling price decreases of 1%. Pro forma net sales in the fiscal 2009 second quarter were $1,000 million. This increase includes Pliant volume growth estimated at 4%. We estimate that base volumes increased by 11%, 12% and 5% in our rigid open top, rigid closed top and specialty films divisions respectively, and declined by 4% in our tapes, bags and coatings division.

Also, we estimate that our fiscal 2010 second quarter Adjusted EBITDA will be approximately $149 million, a decrease from $160 million for the fiscal 2009 second quarter. Excluding unrealized synergies and cost reductions, Adjusted EBITDA improved slightly from $137 million in the fiscal 2009 second quarter to an estimated $138 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter. The second fiscal quarter results were positively affected by the sales volume growth noted above as well as realization of synergies and cost reduction efforts. These improvements were mitigated by the timing lag in passing through higher raw material costs to our customers.

The following table reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:
