Report of Independent Auditors
To the Participants and Administrator of the Greif Bros. Riverville Mill
Employees Retirement Savings Plan and Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Greif Bros. Riverville Mill Employees Retirement Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes at end of year as of December 31, 2001 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
1. Description of the Plan
The following brief description of the Greif Bros. Riverville Mill (the Company) Employees Retirement Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description document for more complete information.
General
The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to 20% of their annual compensation as defined in the Plan, limited to the maximum allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. Upon enrollment, a participant may direct their contributions in 5% increments to any to the Plan's fund options. Participants may change their investment options at any time.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 20 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate of 1% above prime at the time of the loan. Principal and interest is paid ratably through quarterly payroll deductions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Vesting
Participants have full and immediate vesting in their contributions and related income credited to their accounts.
Payment of Benefits
Withdrawals under the Plan are allowed for termination of employment, hardship (as defined by the Plan), or the attainment of age 59 1/2. Distributions may also be made to a named beneficiary in the event of the participant's death. Distributions are made in lump sum.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the Plan, any expenses involved will be paid by the Company. The final amounts accumulated in the participant's accounts will be distributed in accordance with Section 401(k)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Investments are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset values of units held by the Plan at year-end. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Administrative Expenses
All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by Greif Bros. Corporation (the "Sponsor").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Investments
During 2001, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold, exchanged, as well as held during the year) depreciated in fair value as follows:

4. Transactions with Parties-In-Interest
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Plan owned 2,042 and 758 shares, respectively, of Greif Bros. Corporation's common stock. Dividends received from the Greif Bros. Corporation were $709 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
5. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated January 25, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan has been subsequently amended and restated. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan, as amended and restated, is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
