                             NOTES TO BALANCE SHEETS
                                 March 31, 1998


1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation

Cunningham Graphics International,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in New
Jersey on January 12, 1998 with an authorized  capital of  30,000,000  shares of
Common  Stock,  no par value  (the  "Common  Stock")  and  10,000,000  shares of
Preferred  Stock,  no par value.  As of March 31, 1998 one share of Common Stock
was issued and  outstanding.  The Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-1
(File No.  333-46541)  was  declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission on April 21, 1998. The Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-50713),  filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended,  became effective on April 22, 1998. Pursuant to the foregoing
Registration Statements,  the Company's initial public offering (the "Offering")
of Common Stock, began on April 22, 1998 (See Note 2). Accordingly,  because the
Company had no operations from the date of incorporation until March 31, 1998 on
a stand alone basis,  no statements  of operations  and cash flows are presented
for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

On April 22, 1998, Cunningham Graphics, Inc. (the "Predecessor") was reorganized
such  that  it  became  a   wholly-owned   subsidiary   of  the   Company   (the
"Reorganization").  The Company issued to the stockholders of the Predecessor an
aggregate  of  2,595,260  shares of Common  Stock  and  promissory  notes in the
aggregate  principal  amount of $2.6  million  (the  "Exchange  Notes").  In the
Reorganization,  the Company also  assumed the  Predecessor's  obligation  under
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.2 million, representing
undistributed S corporation taxable income (the "Distribution Notes").

The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  balance  sheets  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 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly,  they do
not include all of the information and footnotes  required by generally accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair  presentation have been included.  The condensed  unaudited
balance  sheets  should  be read in  conjunction  with the final  prospectus  of
Cunningham Graphics International, Inc. dated April 22, 1998.

2.   Initial Public Offering

On April 27, 1998, the Company closed the Offering of 2,530,000 shares of Common
Stock at a price of $13.00 per share.  The Exchange  Notes and the  Distribution
Notes were paid from the net proceeds of the Offering.

3.   Acquisition

Also on April 27, 1998,  the Company closed the  acquisition of the  outstanding
ordinary  share capital of Roda  Limited,  an English  corporation  ("Roda") for
consideration  consisting  of cash in the  amount of $4.1  million  and  169,739
shares of Common Stock, valued at the offering price of $13.00. In addition, the
Company  placed into the custody of its  lawyers in London $1.8  million,  which
will be utilized to acquire the outstanding  preference share capital of Roda on
or before June 30, 1998.  The excess of the  purchase  price over the net assets
acquired totaled  approximately  $10.8 million and will be recorded as goodwill.
The goodwill will be amortized over a 40 year period.

               NOTES TO PREDECESSOR CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1998



1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation

Cunningham  Graphics,  Inc. (the "Predecessor") is the predecessor to Cunningham
Graphics  International,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and  provides  a wide range of
graphic  communication  services to  financial  institutions  and  corporations,
focusing on producing and distributing  time-sensitive  analytical  research and
marketing materials and on providing on-demand printing.

On April 22, 1998 the Predecessor  reorganized (the  "Reorganization") such that
all the  stockholders  of the  Predecessor  contributed  all of the  outstanding
shares of common stock of the Predecessor to Cunningham Graphics  International,
Inc., in exchange for a total of 2,595,260  shares of common stock, no par value
(the  "Common  Stock")  and  promissory  notes  (the  "Exchange  Notes")  in the
aggregate principal amount of $2.6 million.  In the Reorganization,  the Company
also  assumed  the  Predecessor's  obligations  under  promissory  notes  in the
aggregate  principal  amount  of  $2.2  million,  representing  undistributed  S
corporation taxable income (the "Distribution Notes"). Collectively the Exchange
Notes  and  Distribution  Notes  are known as the  "Reorganization  Notes."  The
Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-46541) was declared
effective by the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on April 21, 1998.  The
Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form  S-1  (File  No.  333-50713),  filed
pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  became
effective on April 22, 1998. Pursuant to the foregoing Registration  Statements,
the Company's  initial public offering (the  "Offering") of Common Stock, no par
value per share, began on April 22, 1998 (See Note 4). Accordingly,  because the
Company  had no  operations  during the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 on a
stand  alone  basis,  the  financial   statements  include  cash  flows  of  the
Predecessor for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998.

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements 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 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly,  they do
not include all of the information and footnotes  required by generally accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair  presentation have been included.  The condensed  unaudited
financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the final prospectus of
Cunningham Graphics International,  Inc. dated April 22, 1998. Operating results
for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative
of the results  that may be expected  for the entire  year ending  December  31,
1998.




                                       7

2.   Pro Forma Income Taxes

The Predecessor elected to be taxed as an S corporation pursuant to the Internal
Revenue  Code and  certain  state  and  local  tax  regulations.  Therefore,  no
provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for federal and
certain state and local taxes, since such are the liability of the stockholders.
As  a  result  of  the  Reorganization  the  Company's  S  corporation  election
terminated  and the  Company  will be subject to federal  and  additional  state
income taxes.

The  accompanying  statement of operations  for the three months ended March 31,
1998 includes a provision for income taxes on an unaudited pro forma basis as if
the Predecessor had been a C corporation subject to applicable federal and state
income taxes.

3.   Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

Pro forma  earnings  per share is  computed  using pro forma net  income and pro
forma shares  outstanding of 2,964,492  consisting of (i) the initial Cunningham
Graphics International,  Inc. founding share, (ii) 2,595,260 shares to be issued
in the  Reorganization  and (iii) 369,231 shares,  representing the value of the
$4.8 million principal amount of the Reorganization  Notes at the Offering price
of $13.00 per share.

4.   Initial Public Offering

On April 27, 1998, the Company closed the Offering of 2,530,000 shares of Common
Stock  inclusive of 330,000 shares  subject to an  over-allotment  option,  at a
price of $13.00  per  share.  The  Reorganization  Notes  were paid from the net
proceeds of the Offering.

5.   Acquisition

Also on April 27, 1998, the Company closed the acquisition  (the  "Acquisition")
of  the  outstanding   ordinary  share  capital  of  Roda  Limited,  an  English
corporation ("Roda") for consideration  consisting of cash in the amount of $4.1
million and 169,739  shares of Common  Stock,  valued at the  Offering  price of
$13.00 per share. In addition, the Company placed into custody of its lawyers in
London  $1.8  million,  which  will  be  utilized  to  acquire  the  outstanding
preference  share capital of Roda on or before June 30, 1998.  The excess of the
purchase price over the net assets acquired totaled  approximately $10.8 million
and will be recorded as goodwill.  The goodwill will be amortized over a 40 year
period.

The following  table  presents the unaudited pro forma  consolidated  results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March
31, 1998, as if the  Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997: (in thousands,
except earnings per share)

                                                December 31,       March 31,
                                                   1997              1998
                                                   ----              ----

Sales                                            $42,705           $12,923
Net income                                       $ 1,576           $   652
Pro forma earnings per share common share        $   .44           $   .18

The pro forma net income amounts reflects (i) the elimination of Roda's goodwill
amortization  of $90,000 for the full year 1997 and $23,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998  related to the 1996  management  buyout of Roda,  (ii) the
Company's recognition of amortization of goodwill of $272,000 for full year 1997
and  $69,000  for  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  resulting  from  the
Acquisition,  (iii) the  elimination  of $106,000 for full year 1997 of minority
interest in the earnings of Roda and (iv) a pro forma provision for income taxes
for the Company and Roda on a combined  basis computed  utilizing  effective tax
rates of 41% for United  States income taxes and 31% for United  Kingdom  income
taxes for both the full year 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
pro forma  results are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the
periods  presented  nor are they  intended to be  indicative of results that may
occur in the future.

The pro forma  shares used for both the full year 1997 and for the three  months
ended  March 31,  1998 was  3,591,223.  This  number of shares  reflect  (i) the
initial  CGII  founding  share,  (ii)  2,595,260  shares  to be  issued  in  the
Reorganization,  (iii) 369,231 shares representing the number of shares having a
value,  at the  initial  public  offer  price of  $13.00,  corresponding  to the
principal amount of the  Reorganization  Notes,  (iv) 169,739 shares issuable in
connection with the Acquisition, and (v) 456,992 shares, representing the number
of  shares  having  a  value  at  the  offering   price  of  $13.00  per  share,
corresponding  to the  $5.9  million  liability  for  cash  payable  to the Roda
stockholders in connection with the Acquisition.

Item  2.  Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Conditions of Operations.

Overview

The following  discussion of the historical  results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 and liquidity and capital  resources should
be read in conjunction with the unaudited  predecessor  financial  statements of
Cunningham  Graphics  International,   Inc.  ("CGII")  included  herein.  Unless
otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires,  all references herein to
the   "Company"   mean  its   predecessor,   Cunningham   Graphics,   Inc.  (the
"Predecessor"),  with respect to periods prior to the initial  public  offering,
referred  to below or CGII and its  subsidiaries  collectively  with  respect to
periods after such offering.

The  Company  provides  a wide  range  of  graphic  communications  services  to
financial institutions and corporations,  focusing on producing and distributing
time-sensitive   analytical  research  and  marketing  materials  and  providing
on-demand printing  services. 


                                       9
<PAGE>

The Company  commenced its operations in 1989 when it opened a printing facility
in New Jersey to provide  overnight  printing  and  delivery  of  time-sensitive
analytical  research  and  marketing  reports  for  its  financial   institution
customers in the New York City area and, with the  acquisition  of Roda Limited,
an English  Corporation  ("Roda"),  on April 27, 1998, a facility in London.  To
date, the Company has experienced  significant  growth primarily through the (i)
expansion of its existing customer base, (ii) addition of products and services,
(iii) assimilation of in-house printing operations, (iv) acquisition of selected
assets and (v) establishment of strategic  alliances which, in the case of Roda,
led to its acquisition.

On April 27, 1998, the Company  closed an initial  public  offering of 2,530,000
shares of its Common Stock (the  "Offering") at a price of $13.00 per share, and
a related reorganization (the "Reorganization") such that the Predecessor became
a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of CGII.  The net offering  proceeds to the Company
after  deducting  underwriting  discounts and commissions and other expenses was
$29.8 million.

Until  the  Reorganization,  the  Company  was  taxed as an S  corporation.  The
Reorganization  caused a termination of the S corporation  status.  As a result,
the Company will become  subject to federal and  additional  state income taxes.
The Company will record additional deferred tax assets of approximately $295,000
and  additional  deferred  tax  liabilities  of  approximately  $354,000  and  a
corresponding  net tax  expense of  approximately  $59,000 in its  statement  of
income.  These tax items will be reflected as a special  charge in the Company's
income statement for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

The Company's five largest customers,  all of which are financial  institutions,
accounted for approximately 63% of its net sales for the quarter ended March 31,
1998.  As a result of the  acquisition  of Roda,  the Company  anticipates  that
foreign  sales  will  account  for a  significant  portion  of net  sales in the
foreseeable future.

The Company's largest customer, Goldman, Sachs & Co. accounted for approximately
27% of the  Company's  net sales  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998.
Although  the  Company  has had  long-term  relationships  with its  significant
customers,  the  Company's  customers  may terminate  their  relationships  upon
minimal,  if any,  advance  notice  and there  can be no  assurance  that  these
relationships will continue.  In addition,  given the concentration of customers
in the financial services  industry,  the Company's results will be particularly
sensitive to  fluctuations  in the economy or financial  markets  affecting this
industry.

The  Company's  net sales are derived  primarily  from  providing  printing  and
distribution  services for  customers in the financial  services,  insurance and
publishing  industries,  a  substantial  component  of which is the printing and
distribution  of financial and analytical  research and marketing  materials for
the financial services industry.  The Company also derives part of its net sales
from providing fulfillment services, including labeling, mailing, inserting, kit
assembly,  and  inventory  management  for its  customers.  Finally  the Company
provides  computer and data output services and other document  related services
for customers.




                                       10
<PAGE>

The  Company's  operating  expenses  consist  of the  following:  (i)  costs  of
production,   (ii)  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  and  (iii)
depreciation and amortization. Costs of production consist primarily of the cost
of paper and other production materials, labor, outside services,  insurance and
other production  expenses including repairs and maintenance and rent.  Selling,
general  and   administrative   expenses   consist   primarily  of   management,
administrative  and  marketing  expenses,  salaries for  officers,  salaries and
commissions earned by sales persons and professional fees.

The  Company's  quarterly  operating  results have been and will  continue to be
subject to variation,  depending  upon factors such as the mix of business among
the Company's services, the cost of materials, labor and technology, particulary
in connection with the delivery of business services,  the costs associated with
initiating  new  outsourcing  contracts  or opening new  offices,  the  economic
condition of the Company's  target  markets,  seasonal  concerns and the cost of
acquiring and integrating new businesses.

Results of Operations

The following  table sets forth  certain  items from the Company's  Statement of
Income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:

Three Months ended March 31, 1998 compared to three months ended March 31, 1997

Net sales.  The Company reported net sales of $10.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998  compared to $8.7  million for the same period in 1997,  an
increase  of  $2.2  million  or  25.3%.   The  majority  of  this  increase  was
attributable  to an increase  in  business  with  existing  customers  and price
increases, with the balance attributable to the addition of new customers.

Costs of production. Costs of production were $8.1 million for the three months,
as compared to $6.5 for the same period in 1997, an increase of 24.2%.  Costs of
production  were  approximately  74.9% of net sales for the three  months  ended
compared to 75.5% for the same period in 1997. The  improvement in percentage of
net sales was the result of lower outside  services costs being partially offset
by higher payroll costs as it relates to percentage of net sales.

Selling,   general   and   administrative   expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998  increased by
$238,000  over the same  period in 1997,  to  approximately  $1.6  million.  The
increase was  attributable to costs associated with the addition of personnel to
support growth.  However,  as a percentage of net sales, such expenses decreased
by 1.0% for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 over the same period in 1997,
as a result of lower selling expenses as a percentage of net sales.

Depreciation  and  amortization:  Depreciation  and  amortization  expenses were
$183,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,  an increase of $44,000,  or
0.1% of net sales,  as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was the
result of the  acquisition of equipment and the expansion of facilities  related
to sales growth.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes reflect the Predecessor's
status as an S corporation  and was $73,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998,  as  compared to $35,000 for the same  period in 1997.  The  increase  was
attributable to higher income generated  during the period.  As discussed above,
as a result of the  Reorganization  the S corporation  status has terminated and
the Company will become subject to federal and additional state income taxes.

Net income.  As a result of the foregoing,  net income increased to $816,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $556,000 for the same period in 1997.
As a percentage of net sales,  net income increased to 7.5% for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from 6.4% for the same period in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of the Offering,  the Company received  approximately  $29.8 million
net proceeds,  after deducting  underwriting discounts and commissions and other
offering  expenses.  The Company used $5.9 million to pay for the acquisition of
Roda, $4.8 million to pay notes to stockholders of the Predecessor, $3.6 million
to repay indebtedness of the Company and Roda, $2.2 million for payment to trade
creditors to take advantage of discounts,  and $780,000 for equipment purchases.
See "Part II, Item 2, Changes in Securities  and Use of  Proceeds."  The Company
expects to use the  remaining  net proceeds from the Offering to fund its growth
strategy.

Until  the  closing  of the  Offering,  the  Company  financed  its  operations,
including  working  capital and equipment  acquisitions,  using bank  borrowing,
vendor  financing,  financing  lease  transactions,  as well as from  cash  flow
generated  from  operating   activities,   and   stockholder   debt  and  equity
contributions.

Net cash provided by operating  activities was $1.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and $364,000 for the same period in 1997.  Net cash used in
investing activities was $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

<PAGE>

Net cash of $212,000 was provided by investing activities for the same period in
1997. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was  attributable  to cash  generated  from the sale and  leaseback  of
certain  equipment for $1.3 million,  offset in part by  acquisition of property
and  equipment.  Net cash used in financing  activities  total  $474,000 for the
three months  ended March 31, 1998,  as compared to $848,000 for the same period
1997.

The Company  currently  has a revolving  credit  facility  with Summit Bank that
expires  on  July  31,  1998.  As of May  18,  1998,  there  are no  outstanding
borrowings  under such facility.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility
bear  interest  at the bank's  prime  rate  (8.5% at March 31,  1998) or, at the
Company's option, LIBOR plus 2.25%. Amounts due the Bank are collateralized by a
security interest in substantially all of the Company's operating assets. A $1.0
million term loan from Summit Bank, outstanding as of March 31, 1998, was repaid
from the proceeds of the Offering.

Roda has a credit  facility  with the Bank of  Scotland  (the  "Roda  Facility")
consisting  of a $2.0  million  ((pound)1.2  million)  term loan and a  $746,000
((pound)450,000) revolving line of credit. The line of credit is reviewed by the
bank annually for renewal,  but is payable on demand.  Borrowing  under both the
term loan and the line of credit  bear  interest  at the  bank's  base rate plus
2.50% (9.75% as of March 31, 1998). The debt is  collateralized by substantially
all  of  Roda's   assets.   As  of  March  31,  1998,   approximately   $313,000
((pound)187,000)  was  outstanding  on the  credit  facility  and  $1.5  million
((pound)905,000  ) was outstanding under the term loan. The term loan is payable
in equal  monthly  installments  through  October 20,  2001.  Certain  technical
defaults  under the Roda  Facility  as of March 31, 1998 have been waived by the
Bank.

The Company is presently  reviewing  proposals from financial  institutions  for
implementation  of a new credit  facility,  which may include the refinancing of
the outstanding  indebtedness under the Roda Facility. No assurance can be given
that the Company will consummate any such new credit facility.

Recent Pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board

Recent pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which
are not  required  to be adopted at December  31,  1997,  include the  following
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS").

SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"  establishes  standards  for
reporting  and display of  comprehensive  income (all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from  investments by and  distributions to owners)
and its components in the financial statements.  This new standard, is effective
for the  Company  for 1998 and it is  currently  anticipated  to only impact the
Company's financial statements related to the reporting of translation gains and
losses for the acquisition of Roda.




                                       13
<PAGE>

SFAS  No.  131,   "Disclosure  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information"  which  will be  effective  for the  Company  for the  year  ending
December  31,  1998,  establishes  standards  for  reporting  information  about
operating  segments in the annual  financial  statements,  selected  information
about operating  segments in the interim financial reports and disclosures about
products and services,  geographic areas and major customers.  This new standard
will require the Company to report  financial  information  on the basis that is
used internally for evaluating segment  performance and deciding how to allocate
resources  to segments,  which may result in more  detailed  information  in the
notes to the  Company's  financial  statements  than is  currently  required and
provided.   The  Company  has  not  yet  determined  the  effects,  if  any,  of
implementing SFAS 131 on its reporting financial information.
