               CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 1. The  interim  financial   statements  are  unaudited.   In  the  opinion  of
    management,  they reflect all adjustments  (which consist only of those of a
    normal recurring  nature)  necessary for a fair  presentation of results for
    the periods indicated.  The results of operations for any interim period are
    not  necessarily  indicative of results for the full year.  These  financial
    statements  should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and
    notes thereto  contained in the  Company's  annual report for the year ended
    June 30, 1995.

 2. Net income per common  share is  computed  based upon the  weighted  average
    number of shares  outstanding  during the periods  presented.  Shares  under
    stock  options  are  treated as common  stock  equivalents  for  purposes of
    computing primary and fully diluted net income per share.

 3. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, principally using the
    last-in,  first-out  (LIFO) method (68.5% as of September 30, 1995 and 70.5%
    as of June 30, 1995). The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used to value
    the remaining inventories. The components of inventories were as follows (in
    thousands):

4.   On November 1, 1995, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the assets
     and  assumed  certain  liabilities  of  The  Software  Factory,  Inc.  (the
     "Software Factory") for approximately $13.5 million.  The Software Factory,
     a provider of software packaging and media duplication services, has annual
     sales of approximately $11.0 million.  The purchase price consisted of $2.0
     million value of Cadmus common stock and $11.5 million cash  payments.  The
     cash payments consisted of a $5.5 million payment and a $0.5 million escrow
     deposit made at closing,  and a $0.5 million  holdback,  with the remaining
     $5.0 million evidenced by a note payable to the Software Factory on January
     2, 1996.  The funds used to acquire the  Software  Factory will be provided
     from the  proceeds of the  issuance of 1.7 million  shares of common  stock
     (see Note 5).

5.   On November 7, 1995,  the Company  completed  the issuance of an additional
     1.7 million shares common stock through a public offering, resulting in net
     proceeds (after  deducting  issuance  costs) of $38.7 million.  The Company
     will use the net proceeds to (i) repay $11.2  million of 9.76% Senior Notes
     due June 2000, plus a $1.0 million prepayment penalty,  (ii) fund the $11.8
     million cash portion of the acquisition  cost of the assets of the Software
     Factory and PeachWeb Corp., and (iii) repay  approximately  $8.0 million of
     borrowings to fund seasonal  working capital needs with an interest rate of
     approximately   6.4%  which  matures  at  February  1997.  Payment  of  the
     prepayment penalty is expected to produce an after-tax charge to net income
     of approximately $0.6 million in the second quarter.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996  increased  23.7% to $74.7 million
compared to $60.4 million for the same period last year.  Operating  income rose
to $4.0 million in 1996 from $2.8 million in 1995.  Net income was $1.5 million,
or $0.24 per share,  in 1996,  which  represents  an  increase of 50.0% over net
income of $1.0 million, or $0.16 per share, in fiscal 1995.

The  following  table  presents  the  major  components  from  the  Consolidated
Statements of Income as a percent of sales for the three months ended  September
30, 1995 and 1994:

Sales
The Company groups sales into three  business  groups:  printing,  marketing and
publishing.  The  table  below  displays  net  sales  for each of  these  groups
expressed as a percent of net sales:

                 Three Months Ended

For the first  quarter  of 1996,  printing  and  marketing  sales rose 19.4% and
36.1%, respectively,  while publishing sales declined 8.8%, when compared to the
same period of last year.  The increase in sales was  broad-based,  with nine of
the Company's  eleven  product  lines  recording  improvement.  Adjusted for the
impact of higher paper prices, sales increased 17.5%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Printing Sales
The growth in  printing  sales for the first  quarter of fiscal 1996 over fiscal
1995 was driven predominantly by strong performance from the financial printing,
specialty packaging,  and magazine product lines.  Financial printing sales rose
155.8% due to strong  equity and debt  new-issue  markets and  increased  merger
activity.  Specialty packaging sales increased 69.5% due to growth from existing
customers. Finally, magazine sales increased 31.1% due primarily to the addition
of several new accounts.  In addition,  research  journal sales rose 7.6%. These
increases  in  printing  sales  were  partially  offset  by a lower  promotional
printing sales.

Marketing Sales
The increase in first quarter marketing revenues was driven primarily by a 37.9%
increase in point-of-purchase  revenues and a 24.9% increase in direct marketing
sales.  Point-of-purchase  revenue  increases  were the result of both growth of
existing accounts and the addition of several new accounts. The growth in direct
marketing  revenues  resulted  primarily  from the  acquisition  of Ronald James
Direct,  Inc. in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. As selling synergies of this
acquisition  are achieved,  combined with the  acquisition  of The Mowry Company
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996,  expansion of direct marketing revenues
are expected to continue.

In addition,  Cadmus  Interactive,  which was formed at the end of first quarter
fiscal 1995,  contributed  12.9% of the overall increase in marketing  revenues.
This multimedia product line, which provides  state-of-the-art computer graphics
available today, has attracted  several Fortune 1000 customers to deliver a wide
variety of  presentations  geared toward both marketing  impact and  educational
programs.  The Company has further  expanded its  capabilities in this area with
the acquisition of PeachWeb Corp., a developer of Internet web sites, in October
1995.

Publishing Sales
The decline in first  quarter  publishing  revenues  was  attributable  to lower
consumer publishing sales, which offset gains in custom publishing. The decrease
in consumer  publishing  sales  resulted from the timing of a trade show and the
absence of a Tuff Stuff  special  edition,  which were  included  in fiscal 1995
first  quarter  revenues.  Custom  publishing  gains  were the  result of record
advertising sales.

Costs and Other Expenses
Cost of sales  decreased to 76.1% of sales for the first  quarter of fiscal 1996
compared to 77.2% of sales for the same period last year.  However,  selling and
administrative  expenses increased for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to 18.6%
of sales  compared to 18.2% of sales in fiscal 1995.  Both the cost of sales and
the selling and  administrative  expense ratios were positively  impacted by the
savings  generated from reductions in the workforce related to the restructuring
of the  Company's  composition  and prepress  operations  which began during the
first quarter of fiscal 1995. In addition,  savings  generated from  procurement
activities  with rebates and freight  consolidation  contributed  to the overall
decrease in the cost of sales ratio.  However,  restructuring savings in selling
and  administrative  expenses were offset by costs associated with  establishing
the team to service  the General  Electric  contract,  launching  the project to
unify  Cadmus,  establishing  and  operating a New York office for the financial
communications  product line,  and adding a human  resources and an  information
technologies executive.

Other  (income)  expenses as a percent of sales  shifted  from income of 0.2% of
sales for fiscal 1995 first  quarter to expense of 0.1% of sales for the current
year  first  quarter.  This  shift  was due to the sale of the  Company's  fifty
percent  ownership in Central  Florida Press,  L.C.  during the third quarter of
fiscal 1995.  During the first  quarter of fiscal 1995,  equity income from this
partnership totaled $0.2 million.

The effective income tax rate changed from 39.4% for the first quarter of fiscal
1995 to 38.7% for the same period of fiscal  1996,  a decrease  attributable  to
both higher  levels of pretax  income and a decrease  in the  overall  effective
state tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the first  quarter of fiscal  1996,  net cash used by  operating  activities
totaled $6.6  million,  which  represents  a $6.8  million  change from the $0.2
million provided by operating  activities in the prior year first quarter.  This
change was driven primarily by increases in accounts receivable and inventories.
The increase in accounts  receivable  was due to both the timing of higher sales
and a slowdown in collection cycles.  September accounted for approximately half
of the  increase  in sales  from the  prior  year  first  quarter.  Slowdown  in
collections  occurred primarily in Fortune 1000 companies and does not reflect a
deterioration of the quality of the Company's receivable portfolio.  The Company
is undertaking  efforts to enhance its billing processes,  which are expected to
improve collections.  The increase in inventories was driven primarily by a $3.6
million  increase  in work in process  which  typically  turns  around  within a
quarter. In addition,  finished goods and raw materials inventories were up $0.7
million  and  $1.6  million,  respectively.   Increases  in  all  components  of
inventories were consistent with projected sales volume.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $5.0 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 1996  compared to $1.6  million for the first  quarter of fiscal 1995.
The increase was due  primarily to the $2.8 million  proceeds  received from the
fiscal 1995 sale and leaseback of property located in Tucker, Georgia.

For fiscal 1996 first quarter, net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$11.4  million,  which  represents an $11.5 million change from the $0.1 million
used in  financing  activities  for fiscal 1995 first  quarter.  The change from
prior year first  quarter was due  primarily  to net  proceeds  from  short-term
borrowings of $11.7 million which were used to finance  seasonal working capital
needs.  These  short-term  borrowings  will  be  repaid  from  proceeds  of  the
additional  1.7 million shares of common stock which was issued through a public
offering on November 7, 1995.

Capital investment in property,  plant and equipment totaled $4.6 million during
the first three months of fiscal  1996.  Significant  projects  included in this
amount were  deposits  of  approximately  $1.0  million for presses for both the
Richmond  and  Baltimore   manufacturing   facilities,   an  automated  imposing
platemaker  for the magazine  product line in Richmond,  a  platesetter  for the
Easton  manufacturing  facility,  and a die cutter  and gluer for the  Charlotte
manufacturing  facility.  For fiscal  1996,  the Company  projects  that capital
spending will total approximately $21.0 million.

Total  debt at  September  30,  1995 was $71.7  million,  representing  an $11.6
million  increase  from the $60.1  million  at June 30,  1995.  The rise in debt
levels was due entirely to short-term  borrowings used to fund seasonal  working
capital  needs.  The Company's  debt-to-capital  ratio at September 30, 1995 was
53.2%  compared to 49.3% at June 30,  1995.  At September  30, 1995,  borrowings
under the  Company's  $25 million  revolving  credit  agreements  totaled  $15.5
million, leaving an unused balance of $9.5 million.

On November 7, 1995,  the Company  completed the issuance of an  additional  1.7
million shares common stock through a public offering, resulting in net proceeds
(after deducting issuance costs) of $38.7 million.  The Company will use the net
proceeds to (i) repay $11.2 million of 9.76% Senior Notes due June 2000,  plus a
$1.0 million prepayment penalty, (ii) fund the $11.8 million cash portion of the
acquisition  cost of the assets of the Software  Factory and PeachWeb Corp., and
(iii) repay  approximately  $8.0 million of borrowings to fund seasonal  working
capital  needs with an  interest  rate of  approximately  6.4% which  matures at
February  1997.  Payment of the  prepayment  penalty is  expected  to produce an
after-tax  charge to net  income of  approximately  $0.6  million  in the second
quarter.
