               CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting, and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

 In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial
information have been included.

2. Net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Shares issuable upon
exercise of currently exercisable stock options are treated as common stock
equivalents for purposes of computing primary and fully diluted net income per
share. The increase in weighted average shares outstanding reflects shares
issued in connection with the Company's equity offering completed in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996.

3. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs have
been determined by the first-in, first-out method for 71% of inventories at
September 30, 1996 and 70% at June 30, 1996. Costs for the remaining inventories
have been determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Because the
inventory determination under the LIFO method can only be made at year-end based
on the current inventory levels and costs, interim LIFO determination, including
that at September 30, 1996, must necessarily be based on management's estimates
of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since future estimates of
inventory levels and costs are subject to many forces beyond the control of
management, interim financial results are subject to final year-end LIFO
inventory amounts. Components of net inventories at September 30, 1996 and June
30, 1996 were as follows (in thousands):

                                          September 30,                June 30,
                                                1996                     1996
                                          -------------                --------
Raw materials and supplies                   $ 7,758                   $ 8,055

                                            --------                    ------
Inventories                                  $26,373                   $23,486
                                             =======                   =======

4. Results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 include
recognition of a $0.3 million gain resulting from a restructuring of the
Company's publishing operations. The restructuring gain included income of $0.7
million related to the September 30, 1996 sale of its consumer publishing
division, for total consideration of $6.5 million, which was offset by charges
of $0.4 million related to the restructuring and repositioning of Cadmus custom
publishing into the Company's Marketing Group.


5. In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for a revolving
credit/term loan facility of $160 million with six major banks, replacing the
former $115 million revolving credit/term loan facility. The $160 million
agreement is composed of a $120 million revolving credit facility, which has a
five-year term expiring in October 2001 and a $40 million seven-year term loan
expiring in October 2003. The interest rate options and commitment fees are the
same as under the former $115 million facility. Also in October 1996, the
Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$40 million. This swap, which expires in September 2001, effectively converts
$40 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company makes payments at a fixed rate of 6.7% and receives
payments based on 30-day LIBOR.

Also in October 1996, using the additional capacity available under the new $160
million facility referred to above, the Company repaid $40 million of 6.74%
senior unsecured notes which were borrowed in fiscal 1994 to fund the Company's
fiscal 1994 acquisition of Waverly Press. There was no prepayment penalty
associated with this debt retirement.

               CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Effective July 1, 1996, the Company reorganized its operational and reporting
group structure into the Periodicals, Graphic Communications, Marketing, and
Publishing Groups.  In doing so, the Company also realigned the various product
lines which comprise each group.  Under this new structure the Periodicals Group
includes the journal services and magazine product lines; the Graphic
Communications Group includes the financial communications, specialty packaging,
promotional printing, marketing services, and technology services product lines;
the Marketing Group includes the direct marketing, catalogs, custom publishing,
and multimedia product lines; and the Publishing Group included the consumer
publishing product line.  Effective with the sale of the Company's consumer
publishing division in September 1996, the publishing group ceased to exist.
Therefore, all discussion and analysis in future filings will include references
to only the Periodicals, Graphic Communications, and Marketing Groups.

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $93.9 million, up 26% from sales
of $74.7 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Excluding the
effect of fiscal 1996 acquisitions, sales decreased 1%; however, after adjusting
for the impact of declining paper prices, sales increased 1%. First quarter
fiscal 1997 net income was $1.7 million, or $.21 per share, compared to $1.5
million, or $.24 per share, for the same quarter of fiscal 1996. Excluding a
$0.3 million gain in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, resulting from a
restructuring of the Company's publishing operations, net income was $1.5
million, or $.19 per share. There were 8,024,000 weighted average common shares
outstanding for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to 6,326,000 shares
for the same period of last year. The increase in shares outstanding reflects
shares issued in connection with the Company's equity offering completed in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.

The following table presents the major components from the Consolidated
Statements of Income as a percent of net sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995:

Sales increased significantly in both the Periodicals and Graphic Communications
Groups, but declined slightly in the Marketing and Publishing groups. The 40%
increase in the Periodicals Group sales was due to a 70% increase in journal
services revenues offset somewhat by a 16% decline in magazine revenues. The
increase in journal services sales was due primarily to the inclusion of
Lancaster Press, Inc. ("Lancaster") which was acquired during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1996. Excluding Lancaster, journal services sales increased 1% but
increased 6% after the adjustment for the impact of declining paper prices. The
decline in sales in the magazine product line is the result of the Company
continuing to examine the working relationships with slower paying, disruptive,
or otherwise non-strategic customers.

The 20% increase in the Graphic Communications Group sales was due to increases
across all product lines except the marketing services product line. Along with
the addition of software replication revenues, due to the acquisitions of The
Software Factory, Inc. and the Atlanta division of Encryption Technology
Corporation, the promotional printing, specialty packaging, and financial
communications product lines experienced significant revenue growth offset only
slightly by a 6% decline in marketing services sales. The increase in both the
promotional printing (a 9% increase) and specialty packaging (a 49% increase)
product lines resulted from growth in existing customer accounts, whereas the
12% increase in financial communications revenues was driven by increased mutual
fund business and growth in full service sales to financial institutions.
Marketing services revenues declined as the Company was adversely impacted by
the loss of a major account and by delays in the timing of customer promotional
programs.

Marketing Group sales declined 6%. Adjusted for the fiscal 1996 acquisition of
The Mowry Company, sales declined 16%. Double-digit growth in the custom
publishing and multimedia product lines was more than offset by declines in both
catalog and direct marketing sales. Catalog revenues were down 22% due primarily
to a deferral of revenues into the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as new
customers have different cycles than some former customers. Direct marketing
sales declined 19% due to both the shift of customer jobs to the second quarter
of fiscal 1997 and to the slower than anticipated replacement of client accounts
lost during fiscal 1996. Although custom publishing and multimedia revenues were
greater than fiscal 1996 first quarter by 11% and 100%, respectively, they were
behind anticipated sales levels. The Company is in the process of rebuilding the
custom publishing management team, evaluating client relationships, and
realigning the business into the Marketing Group. The Company does not expect
significant improvement from custom publishing in the near future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Operating Expenses
Cost of sales increased to 77.4% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to 76.1% of sales in the prior year first quarter. This increase was
driven primarily by a change in sales mix with the Marketing and Publishing
Groups accounting for only 12.0% of net sales in fiscal 1997 compared to 16.0%
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 combined with a decline in higher-margin
marketing services revenues. In addition, the Marketing Group experienced a
deterioration in the gross profit margin as the multimedia product line strives
to establish the appropriate cost structure and production management systems to
support the dramatic revenue growth and as the Company rebuilds the custom
publishing management team. Also, inefficiencies and excess capacity continued
to exist at certain manufacturing facilities. As these factors drove the cost of
sales ratio up, the integration of the Lancaster acquisition positively impacted
cost of sales. Excluding the Lancaster acquisition, the first quarter fiscal
1997 cost of sales ratio was 78.6% of sales.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased from 18.6% of sales for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to 17.1% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
This improvement was driven by the inclusion of the fiscal 1996 acquisition of
Lancaster. Excluding the Lancaster acquisition, the selling and administrative
expense ratio was 18.7%, unchanged from fiscal 1996.

In the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company recorded a $0.3 million pretax
gain to restructure the Publishing Group operations as it was determined that
the consumer publishing business was no longer consistent with the Company's
strategy to become an integrated, solutions-based communications and marketing
company. Therefore, the consumer publishing division was sold and the Company
recorded a $0.7 million gain from this sale. The proceeds from the sale of this
division were used to pay down debt. In addition, as part of this restructuring,
the Company recorded a $0.4 million charge related to the strategic
repositioning of the custom publishing product line into the Marketing Group.
The charge included costs of $0.2 million for termination benefits for five
associates and $0.2 million for costs related to repositioning the client base
to align with the Marketing Group strategies.

Interest and Other Expenses and Income Taxes
Interest expense increased $0.7 million, or 46%, for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 over the same period of fiscal 1996, the result of debt incurred to
purchase Lancaster in May 1996, offset by slightly lower short-term interest
rates.

Other expense increased to $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from
$0.1 million in the prior year first quarter due to additional goodwill
amortization related to fiscal 1996 acquisitions.

The effective income tax rate increased from 38.7% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 to 39.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 due primarily to an
overall increase in the state effective tax rate and an increase in the amount
of non-deductible goodwill amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes that the Company has the financial resources and access to
capital necessary to fund internal growth and acquisitions. The Company's major
demands on capital are investments in property, plant, and equipment, working
capital, and acquisitions.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.1 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, representing a $10.7 million increase from $6.6 million
used by operating activities in the prior year first quarter. The increase was
attributable to reduced cash requirements to fund the Company's working capital
investment, particularly accounts receivable and inventories, combined with a
$1.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by a
$2.8 million required cash contribution to the Company's pension plan and the
$2.5 million increased use of funds applied to reduce current liabilities. The
$10.8 million turnaround in funds provided by accounts receivable, excluding the
effect of the sale of the consumer publishing division, resulted from extensive
efforts to improve collections across the Company combined with the shift in the
timing of which months sales occurred in during the quarter.

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $2.2 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, as compared to $5.0 used in the prior year first
quarter, and included proceeds of $6.5 million from the sale of the Company's
consumer publishing division in September 1996 and $1.2 million in proceeds from
the sale of certain property, plant, and equipment. These sources more than
offset $5.1 million used to fund first quarter fiscal 1997 capital expenditures
and acquisitions. The $5.1 million included fixed asset additions primarily for
a six-unit sheet-fed CD press in Charlotte and costs associated with new
business system installations.

Net cash used in financing activities was $5.4 million in the fiscal 1997 first
quarter compared with $11.4 million provided by financing activities in the
prior year first quarter. The $16.8 million change was the result of a decrease
in debt in the current fiscal quarter as funds from the proceeds of the sale of
the Company's consumer publishing division were used to pay off debt. This
reduction in debt compares to a net increase in debt of $11.6 million in the
prior year as the Company used lines of credit to fund an increase in working
capital requirements.

Total debt at September 30, 1996 was $105.5 million, down from $110.1 million at
June 30, 1996. The decline in debt was due to the use of proceeds from the sale
of the Company's consumer publishing division primarily to pay down debt. These
lower debt levels resulted in a slight decrease in the Company's debt-to-capital
ratio from 50.6% at June 30, 1996 to 49.2% at September 30, 1996.

In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for a revolving
credit/term loan facility of $160 million with six major banks, replacing the
former $115 million revolving credit/term loan facility. The $160 million
agreement is composed of $120 million revolving credit facility which has a
five-year term expiring in October 2001 and a $40 million seven-year term loan
expiring in October 2003. The interest rate options and commitment fees are the
same as under the former $115 million facility. Also in October 1996, the
Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$40 million. This swap, which expires in September 2001, effectively converts
$40 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company makes payments at a fixed rate of 6.7% and receives
payments based on 30-day LIBOR.

Also in October 1996, using the additional capacity available under the new $160
million facility referred to above, the Company repaid $40 million of 6.74%
senior unsecured notes which were borrowed in fiscal 1994 to fund the Company's
fiscal 1994 acquisition of Waverly Press. There was no prepayment penalty
associated with this debt retirement.
