Statements contained in this report relating to Cadmus' future prospects and
performance are "forward-looking statements" that are subject to risks and
uncertainties, both known and unknown, that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from management's projections,
forecasts, estimates and expectations may include factors that are beyond
Cadmus' ability to control or estimate precisely, such as estimates of future
market conditions and the behavior of other market participants. Other potential
risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: (1) the overall economic
environment in North America, (2) the equity market performance and interest
rate environment, which can impact our pension liability, (3) our ability to
develop and market new capabilities and services to take advantage of technology
changes in the publishing process, especially for scientific, technical and
medical journals, (4) significant price pressure in the markets in which we
compete, (5) the loss of significant customers or the decrease in demand from
customers, (6) our ability to continue to obtain improved efficiencies and lower
production costs, (7) the financial condition and ability to pay of certain
customers, (8) the impact of industry consolidation among key customers, (9) our
ability to successfully complete certain consolidation initiatives and effect
other restructuring actions, and (10) our ability to operate profitably and
effectively with high levels of indebtedness. Other risk factors are detailed
from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The
information provided in this report is provided only as of the date of this
report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements
made therein.
