                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 
To the Shareholder and Board of Directors of
The Software Factory, Inc.:
 

 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Software Factory, Inc. (a
Georgia corporation), as of June 30, 1995, and the related statements of income
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Software Factory, Inc., as
of June 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

INCOME TAXES
The Company is qualified as an "S" corporation under the rules of the Internal
Revenue Code. As a result, substantially all taxable income and related tax
attributes flow through directly to the shareholder of the Company. Therefore,
no provision for income taxes has been made because the Company has no
obligation for such taxes.

Holders of the common stock are entitled to vote in all proceedings of the board
of directors and participate in all dividends when declared by the board of
directors.

The Company has a shareholders' agreement whereby the Company has the right of
first refusal to purchase the shares of any shareholder in the event of the
shareholder's death or should the shareholder decide to sell his shares.

(5) STOCK OPTION AND PHANTOM STOCK AGREEMENTS

 
In the period 1987 to 1993, the Company entered into phantom stock agreements
with certain key employees under which the employees would share in a combined
total of approximately 17 percent of the net proceeds of the sale of the Company
by the sole shareholder, or the sale of substantially all the assets of the
Company. Under the terms of the agreements, the employees are entitled to
receive payment only upon the occurrence of such a sale.
 

 
In June 1994, pursuant to a non-qualified stock option agreement, the Company
granted an option to purchase 4,166 shares of common stock to a key employee at
an exercise price of $45.48 per share, the fair value of the Company's stock at
the grant date, as determined by the Company's board of directors. The option
becomes fully vested and immediately exercisable upon the
 

                                       7

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1) BASIS OF REPORTING

 
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements of Cadmus
Communications Corporation and its Subsidiaries ("Cadmus" or the "Company") give
effect to the sale of 1.5 million shares of Common Stock, $.50 par value per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), in an underwritten public offering
(the "Offering") and to the acquisitions of the assets of the Software Factory
and PeachWeb and certain of the assets of Mowry, as if such transactions had
occurred as of July 1, 1994 for the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income
and as of June 30, 1995 for the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 

 
The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of the
acquired companies giving effect to the acquisitions under the purchase method
of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying
Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements. Under the purchase
method of accounting the assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair
value with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable
net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.
 

 
The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the combined
results of operations or financial position that would have been reported had
these transactions taken place as of July 1, 1994 with respect to the Statement
of Income data and as of June 30, 1995 with respect to the Balance Sheet data as
the case may be, or future results of operations or financial position of the
Company. The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's separate historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto, not included herein, and the historical
financial statements and notes thereto of the Software Factory, included
elsewhere herein.
 

(2) CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the adjustments
described below.

 
(a) To exclude assets and liabilities not included in these transactions (in
thousands):

  Total assets                               $ 1,287

  Total liabilities                          $   321
</TABLE>

(b) To record $11.9 million cash disbursed to purchase the acquired companies.

(c) To record the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired
under the purchase method of accounting for the acquisitions.

(d) To eliminate the equity of the acquired companies.

 
(e) To record the $2.0 million common stock portion of the consideration for the
purchase of the Software Factory which represents the issuance of 80,000 shares
of Common Stock assuming a market price of $25.00 per share.
 

 
(f) To record the net proceeds from the Offering after debt repayment and
prepayment penalty (See Note 4).
 

 
(g) To record the repayment of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facilities and of the 9.76% Senior Notes due 2000, from the proceeds of the

                                       11

<PAGE>
 
(h) To record the 1.5 million shares issued in the Offering and the resulting
capital in excess of par value at an assumed public offering price of $25.00 per
share.  

 
(i) To record the after-tax effect of the prepayment penalty associated with the
9.76% Senior Notes which will be repaid from proceeds of the Offering.
 

(3) CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income gives effect to the adjustments
described below.

(a) To adjust for reductions in selling and administrative expenses associated
with the elimination of duplicate costs. Management expects that there will be
cost reductions as various selling and administrative functions and certain
operating facilities are combined.

(b) To amortize, over twenty years, the costs in excess of the net assets
acquired which were generated by applying the purchase method of accounting for
the acquisitions.

 
(c) To record the interest savings from the debt repayment and the interest
income from the excess of the proceeds from the Offering less the cash payments
for the companies acquired.
 

 
(d) To record the income taxes on the earnings of the acquired companies and to
record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at an effective tax rate of
38.7%. The Software Factory, which is qualified as an S corporation, and Mowry,
which is a partnership, had no income tax expense in fiscal year ended June 30,
1995. Accordingly, the pro forma income tax expense has been recorded for the
reported earnings of the companies at an effective rate of 38.7%.
 

(4) NONRECURRING PREPAYMENT PENALTY

 
The Company will use a portion of the proceeds from the Offering to repay $11.2
million of 9.76% Senior Notes due 2000. Under the provisions of these notes, the
Company is obligated to pay an approximately $1.0 million, $0.6 million after
tax, prepayment penalty which will be recorded as interest expense in the period
in which the payment occurs.

                  CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES ACQUISITIONS

    RICHMOND, VA, October 16, 1995 -- Cadmus Communications Corporation
    (NASDAQ NMS: CDMS) announced today that it has entered into agreements
    to acquire three companies.

    Cadmus entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of The
    Software Factory, Inc., a provider of software packaging and media
    duplication services to small-to-medium size software publishers and
    corporations. The Software Factory is a privately-held Atlanta-based
    firm with revenues of $10.8 millon for the twelve months ended June 30,
    1995. The acquisition is subject to certain conditions. Michael F.
    Heazel, founder and sole shareholder of The Software Factory, will
    continue in the role of president after the acquisition.

    Cadmus also announced that it acquired certain of the assets of The
    Mowry Company, a direct marketing agency headquartered in Long Beach,
    California. The agency specializes in frequency and loyalty direct
    marketing programs, as well as traditional direct response advertising.
    Clients of the agency include financial services, investment,
    entertainment, high-tech and travel companies. The Mowry Company had
    approximately $4 million in annual revenues for the twelve months ended
    June 30, 1995. The agency, which employs 15 professionals, became a part
    of Cadmus Direct Marketing, Inc.

    Finally, Cadmus entered into a letter of intent to acquire the assets of
    PeachWeb Corp., a privately-held firm specializing in the development
    and delivery of Internet and World Wide Web services. PeachWeb, located

    and employs a staff of 10 associates. Following the acquisition,
    PeachWeb will become part of Cadmus Interactive, Inc. The acquisition is
    subject to certain conditions.

    is a graphic communications company specializing in printing, marketing,
    and publishing.
