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 audits 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. As described in Note 2, these financial statements were prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Cadmus Thrift Savings Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, on the modified cash basis of accounting as described in Note 2. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic 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 information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Description of Plan: The following description of the Cadmus Thrift Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General: The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Cadmus Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), with the exception of employees who are members of one of the following collective bargaining units: East Stroudsburg Typographical Union Local #14810, Graphic Communications Union - Local 160-M, Graphic Communications International Union - Local 138B and Lancaster Local No. 70 - Printing, Publishing and Media Workers Sector - CWA. Generally, employees who have attained age 18 and have completed one month of service, as defined in the Plan, are eligible to participate in the Plan. Eligibility requirements differ for employees who are members of collective bargaining units. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective January 1, 2001, the Mack Printing Company Thrift Plan was merged into the Plan. Assets from the Mack Printing Company Thrift Plan were transferred to the Plan's trustee. Plan Administration: Overall responsibility for administering the Plan rests with the Benefits and Investment Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Plan administrator is responsible for the daily operation of the Plan. T. Rowe Price Trust Company ("T. Rowe Price") is trustee for the Plan. Contributions: The Plan provides for participant contributions of up to 18% of annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Company will make a quarterly matching contribution out of its profits in an amount equal to 25% of participant contributions, based on the lesser of each participant's contribution or 6% of the participant's compensation. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions as determined annually by its Board of Directors. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. Additionally, the Company contributes a percentage of annual base compensation on behalf of participants employed at the Science Press Division, Port City Press Division and non-bargaining unit employees of the East Stroudsburg Division in lieu of a contribution to the Company's defined benefit pension plan. For employees of collective bargaining units at the East Stroudsburg Division, the Company contributes a flat dollar amount to the Plan in lieu of a contribution to the Company's defined benefit pension plan. 4 CADMUS THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 1. Description of Plan, continued: Participant Accounts: Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' accounts are used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan, and any excess is used to reduce future Company contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Vesting: Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in Company matching contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service. Payment of Benefits: Distribution of the vested portion of a participant's account will occur upon the participant's termination of service, retirement, death, or disability, as defined in the Plan. A participant is entitled to receive a lump-sum payment or an annuity paid in semi-annual installments for up to five years or, in certain cases, for life. Forfeitures: Forfeited balances of participants' non-vested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions. Forfeitures were $19,843 and $249,995, respectively, for the Plan years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Investment Options: Upon enrollment in the Plan, participants may direct the trustee as to the investment of their account balances into eleven investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers one common/collective trust, nine mutual funds, and one fund investing in Cadmus Communications Corporation common stock as investment options for participants. Participants may change their investment elections at any time. Participant Loans: Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms cannot exceed five years, unless the proceeds are used to acquire a principal residence. Only two loans per participant may be outstanding at any time. The loans are secured by the vested balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to The Wall Street Journal's prime rate at the time of the borrowing plus 1.5%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting. Investments are adjusted to fair value, while contributions and expenses are recognized as cash is received or paid. Receivables, payables, and accrued expenses are not reflected. 5 CADMUS THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: Investment Valuation and Income Recognition: The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Investments in Cadmus common stock and mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices. Net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for benefits - modified cash basis as net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. The Stable Value Common Trust Fund is valued at contract value, which approximates fair value. The average yields for the Stable Value Fund were 7.5% and 6.0% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the interest rates for the Stable Value Common Trust Fund ranged from 5.81% to 7.83%. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the modified cash basis. Payment of Benefits: Benefits are recorded when paid. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. Investments: Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at December 31 are as follows: 2001 2000 ---- ---- T.
