              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

(1)    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
       Vestcom International, Inc. (a New Jersey corporation) ("Vestcom" or the
       "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
       instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
       they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
       generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
       statements. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from
       the audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion of
       management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
       considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain
       prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the
       2000 presentation. Operating results for the nine month period ended
       September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
       be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. The condensed
       consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
       consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes
       thereto contained in Vestcom's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
       ended December 31, 1999.

(2)    EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

       Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income available to common
       shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
       outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of
       common stock used in determining basic EPS was 9,056,806 for the three
       and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

       Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing income available to common
       shareholders, adjusted to reflect the effects of earnouts and stock
       options, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
       outstanding, plus additional common shares that could be issued in
       connection with potentially dilutive securities. The weighted average
       number of shares of common stock used in determining diluted EPS was
       9,061,536 and 9,056,806 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
       1999, respectively; and 9,097,176 and 9,056,806 for the nine months ended
       September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively; and reflects 4,730 and 40,370
       additional shares issuable in connection with stock options, for the
       three months ended September 30, 2000 and the nine months ended September
       30, 2000 , respectively.

       Options to purchase approximately 1,068,624 and 953,618 shares of common
       stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
       for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
       options to purchase 759,916 and 572,015 shares of common stock were not
       included in the computations of diluted earnings per share for the nine
       months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, because the
       effects would have been antidilutive.

(3)    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS):

       The comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation
       gains and losses. The balance sheet translation adjustment was ($9,470)
       and $48,389 for the three months ending September 30, 2000 and 1999,
       respectively, and ($57,288) and $45,637 for the nine months ending
       September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

(4)      RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER NON RECURRING CHARGES:

       During 1999, the Company recorded an aggregate restructuring charge of
       $5,178,000 related to the consolidation and integration of operations in
       three of the Company's operating locations. During the second quarter of
       2000, the Company reversed approximately $383,000 of previously recorded
       restructuring reserves no longer required due to the revision of certain
       estimates. At September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $546,000
       of accrued restructuring costs related to facilities.

       During the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a non-recurring
       charge of $279,000 for assets written down to fair value. Based on
       management's assessment of fair value, certain equipment was identified
       to be impaired due to the restructuring of the Company's facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1999

Revenues increased $5,315,000 or 17%, to $37,102,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, from $31,786,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes for
the Comapany's financial services and retail clients, and new customers in the
fulfillment business utilizing the Company's database services.

Certain 1999 expenses have been reclassified from selling, general and
administrative expenses to cost of sales in order to conform to the 2000
presentation. The Company believes these expenses relate more directly to
revenue generation activities and have been reclassified to more accurately
reflect gross margins.

Gross profit increased $2,330,000, or 28%, to $10,536,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, from $8,206,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the
increased sales activity over the prior year period. The gross profit margin
increased from 26% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 28% for the
same period in 2000. The increase in the gross profit margin was due to
increased sales growth and more efficient utilization of the Company's existing
assets. However, the profit margin was negatively impacted by start up costs for
new customers and the continued investment in developing the Company's Internet
offerings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $206,000, or 2%, to
$8,988,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $9,194,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, selling
general and administrative expenses decreased from 29%, for the three month
period in 1999, to 24% in 2000. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses was primarily due to the reduction of corporate sales
expenses and other corporate expenses and the absence of redundant overhead and
facility costs incurred during the prior year's integration process.

Interest expense decreased $73,000, or 10%, to $701,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, from $774,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999. The decrease was a result of repayments to the Company's credit facility
as a result of improved cash flows.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1999

Revenues increased $11,411,000, or 12%, to $106,514,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, from $95,103,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes
from new and existing customers, particularly from customers in the financial
services and retail industries, and the Company's increased capacity in its
newly upgraded facilities.

Certain 1999 expenses have been reclassified from selling, general and
administrative expenses to cost of sales in order to conform to the 2000
presentation. The Company believes these expenses relate more directly to
revenue generating activities and have been reclassified to more accurately
reflect gross margins.

Gross profit increased $3,244,000, or 12%, to $30,518,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, from $27,274,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the
increased sales activity over the prior year period. The gross profit margin
remained consistent at 29% for the same period in 2000. The profit margins were
negatively impacted by the increased costs of the Company's upgraded facilities
and continued Internet investments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $221,000, or 1% to
$25,572,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $25,351,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 26% to 24%. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased
compensation expense, including increased commissions on higher sales, offset by
the decreases in corporate sales expenses and the absence of redundant overhead
and facility costs incurred during the prior year's integration process.

                  VESTCOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company reversed approximately $383,000
of restructuring reserves incurred during 1999 in connection with the
consolidation and integration of operating locations. The Company also recorded
a nonrecurring charge of $279,000 for impaired assets which resulted from the
restructuring plan implemented at the Company's facilities.

Interest expense increased $586,000, or 37%, to $2,187,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from $1,601,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. This increase was attributable to higher interest rates and increased
borrowings on the Company's credit facility to finance equipment purchases,
leasehold improvements and payments relating to earnout agreements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, the Company had working capital of approximately $9,066,000
compared to approximately $7,864,000 at December 31, 1999. The increase was
primarily attributable to the reduction in current debt and accrued expenses
which was partially offset by a decrease in other current receivables. Net cash
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
was approximately $7,495,000 which consisted primarily of net income plus
approximately $7,121,000 generated from depreciation and amortization charges.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, was approximately $5,368,000 which consisted primarily of purchases of
property and equipment, software and leasehold improvements. Net cash used in
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was
approximately $2,993,000 for net repayments of long-term debt.

On August 13, 1997, the Company and Summit Bank entered into an Equipment Loan
and Revolving Credit Agreement ("the Credit Facility") in the amount of
$30,000,000. On May 8, 2000 the Company and Summit Bank entered into an
amendment to the Credit Facility, which, among other things, increased the
Credit Facility to $31,500,000. On September 30, 2000, $22,328,000 was
outstanding and $8,028,000 remained available under the Credit Facility.

The Company incurs postage costs on behalf of customers of approximately
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000 each month. The Company seeks to collect such postage
costs from its customers in advance. At September 30, 2000 the Company had
postage advances from customers in the amount of approximately $4,758,000 and
had prepaid postage and postage receivables of approximately $2,995,000. To the
extent the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining postage costs in advance, cash
flow is negatively affected and Vestcom may be required to utilize its working
capital or credit facility to cover the cash outlay.

Capital expenditures of approximately $10,000,000 are expected in 2000. However,
as additional revenue generating opportunities arise the Company may be required
to expend additional capital to support those opportunities. The anticipated
expenditures relate to technology and production equipment needs of the
business. As of September 30, 2000 , the Company had incurred approximately
$5,374,000 of such anticipated expenditures.

While no assurance can be given, management believes that its anticipated cash
flow from operations combined with existing cash and the availability of funds
under the Credit Facility, and potential additional credit capacity, will be
sufficient to meet its working capital, capital expenditure and debt service
requirements for the foreseeable future. The immediately preceding sentence
constitutes a forward-looking statement under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.
