RADFORD, VIRGINIA


WE HAVE REVIEWED THE ACCOMPANYING CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET OF RADVA
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY AS OF MARCH 31, 2004, AND THE RELATED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND CASH FLOWS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND
SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004. THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CORPORATION'S MANAGEMENT.

WE CONDUCTED OUR REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN
INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS. A REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL
INFORMATION CONSISTS PRINCIPALLY OF APPLYING ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES TO FINANCIAL
DATA AND OF MAKING INQUIRIES OF PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING
MATTERS. IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS IN SCOPE THAN AN AUDIT CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS, THE OBJECTIVE OF WHICH IS THE
EXPRESSION OF AN OPINION REGARDING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TAKEN AS A WHOLE.
ACCORDINGLY, WE DO NOT EXPRESS SUCH AN OPINION.

BASED ON OUR REVIEW, WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS THAT SHOULD
BE MADE TO SUCH CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEM TO BE IN
CONFORMITY WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES.

WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY AUDITED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING
STANDARDS, THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET OF RADVA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 2003, AND THE RELATED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME,
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, AND CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED (NOT PRESENTED
HEREIN); AND IN OUR REPORT DATED FEBRUARY 13, 2004, WE EXPRESSED AN UNQUALIFIED
OPINION ON THOSE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IN OUR OPINION, THE
INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 IS FAIRLY STATED, IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS, IN RELATION
TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET FROM WHICH IT HAS BEEN DERIVED.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 2003
Compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Company incurred a net loss of $248,000 in the first six months of 2004
compared to a net loss of $19,000 in the first six months of 2003. For this same
period, revenues were down $1,015,000 from $5,039,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 to $4,024,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The primary
cause of the reduced revenues and increased losses was a result of the Company's
loss of its major customer, which had accounted for 37.8% of Company revenues in
2003.

Cost of sales, as a percent of manufacturing revenues, was up 7.3%, from 74.7%
for the first six months of 2003 to 82.0% for the first six months of 2004. The
increased cost of sales percentage primarily resulted from the effect of the
large reduction in revenues related to fixed manufacturing costs. However, rapid
rises in the cost of the Company's raw materials has also contributed to rising
cost percentages, resulting in an increase of almost 5% of production at the
Company's Radford, Virginia plant.

Shipping and selling expenses were down $121,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. However, due to a
change in sales mix, shipping and selling expenses as a percentage of revenues
was relatively unchanged.

General and administrative expenses were down $144,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 due to cost controls over a wide range of expenses. Some principal
cost reductions were as follows: Office salaries $51,000, travel $11,000, bank
fees $17,000 and bad debts $16,000.

Results of Operations - Three months ended June 30, 2003
Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004

The factors noted above in the six month comparisons were also the factors
largely contributing to differences in results for the three months ended June
30, 2003 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. Revenues were down
$640,000, largely responsible for increasing losses from $62,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 to $256,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of manufacturing revenues, was up 11.2%, from
74.4% for the second quarter of 2003 to 85.6% for the second quarter of 2004.
Again, the major factors responsible for the increased percentages were fixed
costs related to sharply reduced revenues and increases in direct material
costs.

Shipping and selling expenses were $81,000 lower in the second quarter of 2004
compared to the second quarter of 2003. However, as a percentage of revenues,
these expenses increased .5%, due to reduced revenues only partly offset by a
changed sales mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2004 the balance available on the Company's line of credit was
$118,804 and working capital was $35,000.

In February 2004 the Company refinanced its line of credit with a new lender,
reducing its interest rate by 2.25% to prime. However, the refinancing did
reduce the Company's availability on its line of credit by the elimination of
inventory from the collateral base on which the line of credit is secured.


                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>


Losses in the second quarter of 2004 have resulted in the Company being out of
compliance with bank covenants related to the Company's credit line. The Company
will work with the bank in an effort to obtain a waiver of noncompliance.
