Exhibit 99.1

Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, the Company may make or publish forward-looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, technological developments, new products, and similar matters. Such
statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company's best judgment
based on current information. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such statements are
usually identified by the use of words or phases such as "believes,"
"anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "planned," "outlook," and "goal." Because
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company's actual
results could differ materially. In order to comply with the terms of the safe
harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's
actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results
or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements.

While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the risks and uncertainties
that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company's
business include the following:

(1) economic and competitive conditions in the markets in which the Company
operates;

(2) strikes or other work stoppages affecting the Company or its major customers
or suppliers;

(3) the Company's ability to continue to control and reduce its costs of
production;

(4) the level of consumer demand for the Company's line of home food
preservation products, which varies based on the impact of the weather on
growing conditions;

(5) the effect of changes in the distribution channels for home food
preservation products;

(6) continuation of the U.S. penny as a currency denomination;

(7) the risks associated with the reliance on one or a few significant customers
in several of the Company's businesses;

(8) the impact of significant price increases or decreased availability in
certain materials used in the manufacture and distribution of the Company's
products, particularly plastic resin, plastic sheet, glass containers, tin
plate, and zinc ingot;

(9) the effect of customers bringing in-house the molding or thermoforming of
parts currently supplied by the Company;

(10) the nature and extent of any current or future state and federal
environmental regulations on the Company's operations;

(11) costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings,
settlements, investigations, claims and other matters, including, but not
limited to, those described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations;

(12) the change in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and its impact on
the Company's ability to do business in export markets;

(13) changes in financial markets affecting the Company's financial structure
and the Company's cost of capital and borrowed money;

(14) any other factors which may be identified from time to time in the
Company's periodic SEC filings and other public announcements.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from
those described in the forward-looking statement. The Company does not intend to
update forward-looking statements.
