                    PRIMESOURCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Adjustments

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  pursuant to the rules and  regulations of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission and  instructions to Form 10-Q.  While these statements
reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring  accruals) which are,
in the opinion of management,  necessary to a fair  presentation  of the results
for the interim  periods  presented,  they do not include all of the information
and  disclosures  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
complete  financial  statements.  These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


2.  Inventory Pricing

Inventories  consist  primarily of  purchased  goods for sale.  Inventories  are
stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is  determined  using the  last-in,
first-out  (LIFO) and first-in,  first-out  methods of  accounting.  Because the
inventory  determination  under the LIFO  method  can only be made at the end of
each fiscal year,  interim financial results are based on estimated LIFO amounts
and are subject to final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.


3.  Acquisition

On May 28, 1996, the Company acquired the operating assets of KPM, a distributor
of photographic and graphic arts supplies and equipment in Michigan and portions
of northern Indiana, for approximately $2.4 million.

The  acquisition  has been accounted for as a purchase,  and,  accordingly,  the
consolidated  financial  statements include the operations since the acquisition
date. The pro-forma results of this acquisition would not have had a significant
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations.

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $916,000  ($.14 per share) on
sales of $87,898,000 compared to a net loss of $285,000 ($.04 loss per share) on
sales of  $89,158,000  for the same period last year.  For the six months  ended
June  30,  1996,  net  income  was  $1,745,000  ($.27  per  share)  on  sales of
$174,857,000  compared  to net income of  $341,000  ($.05 per share) on sales of
$178,735,000 for the same period last year.

The net  income  (loss) for the  quarter  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1995
included a one-time  restructuring  charge of  $1,315,000  ($794,000  after tax)
relating to the  consolidation  of five  distribution  centers,  realigning  two
others,  and the  centralizing of certain  financial and  information  services.
Excluding this charge,  the net income for the quarter and six months ended June
30,  1995 would have been  $509,000  ($.08 per share) and  $1,135,000  ($.17 per
share), respectively.

Sales  decreased 1% for the quarter and 2% for the  six-month  period ended June
30, 1996,  compared to the same periods in 1995.  This decrease is primarily due
to a decrease in sales in January,  1996 due to harsh  weather in the  Northeast
and Southeast  United States and a decline in electronic  prepress  sales in the
second quarter.

Gross  profit as a percent of sales was 17.7% for the  quarter and 17.6% for the
six-month  period ended June 30, 1996  compared to 18% and 17.9%,  respectively,
for the same  periods  last year.  This modest  decrease  was due  primarily  to
changes in product mix.

Selling,  general, and administrative  expenses as a percent of sales were 15.5%
for the quarter and 15.4% for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1996 compared
to 16.5% and 16.2%, respectively,  for the same periods last year. This decrease
is  primarily  due to the  restructuring  program  described  above,  which  was
completed in 1995, and ongoing programs to increase operating efficiencies.

Interest  expense was $423,000  for the quarter and  $943,000 for the  six-month
period  ended June 30,  1996  compared  to $496,000  and  $948,000  for the same
quarter and six-month  period last year.  During the period,  the Company's debt
levels  decreased,  however the interest  benefit of this decrease was partially
offset by increases in interest rates.

The effective tax rates for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 1996
were 39.6% and 40.3%, respectively, compared to 38% and 44.7%, respectively, for
the same periods last year.  The lower rate for the six-month  period in 1996 is
primarily  due to  non-deductible  expenses  being a lesser  percent  to income.
Similarly, the lower tax benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 is also due
to the effect of non-deductible expenses.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was  $10,139,000  compared to  $2,531,000  for the same  period last year.  This
significant  increase  in cash  flow,  is due to both  improvements  in  working
capital levels and cash generated from operating income.  In 1996,  decreases in
working capital resulted in an increase in cash flows of $7,082,000  compared to
$909,000 in 1995. Excluding the effect of changes in assets and liabilities, the
cash provided was $3,057,000 in 1996 compared to $1,622,000 in 1995.

Net cash used in investing  activities  was  $2,384,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $1,695,000 for the same period last year. In 1996, the
Company  expended  $2,417,000 for the acquisition of the business assets of KPM.
Capital expenditures for the first six months in 1996 were $191,000.  Additional
capital expenditures for the year, for which there are no material  commitments,
are  anticipated  to be  approximately  $1 million.  In addition,  the Company's
business strategy includes  continuing to acquire regional  distributors  within
the Company's  current markets or companies that offer new products and services
to the printing and imaging industries.

Net cash used in financing  activities was  $7,755,000 for the six-month  period
ended June 30, 1996 compared to  $1,454,000  for the same period last year. As a
result of the significant funds generated from operating activities, the Company
was able to reduce debt by approximately  $7.1 million.  The balance of the cash
used was for dividend  payments.  For the same period last year, the outflow was
primarily for dividend payments.

The  Company  has a strong and  liquid  balance  sheet.  At June 30,  1996,  the
Company's current ratio was 2.9 to 1, with current assets,  consisting primarily
of accounts receivable and branded inventory, representing over 80% of the total
assets. The debt to equity ratio was .56 to 1.

The  Company's  primary  source  of debt  financing  is three  revolving  credit
agreements  with a total  commitment  of $27.5 million of which $6.8 million was
unused at June 30, 1996. In addition, the Company has uncommitted and short-term
lines of $15.7 million of which none was outstanding. The Company believes these
facilities  combined with the cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet
