                    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 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 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.  Income Per Common Share

Income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
and equivalent common shares outstanding during the period.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). This
Statement  establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
(EPS) and applies to entities  with  publicly  held  common  stock or  potential
common stock.  This Statement is effective for financial  statements  issued for
periods  ending after December 15, 1997,  earlier  application is not permitted.
This statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.  The
Company is currently  evaluating the impact,  if any,  adoption of SFAS 128 will
have on its financial statements.

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, 1997 was  $1,176,000  ($.18 per share)
on sales of  $103,170,000  compared  to  $916,000  ($.14 per  share) on sales of
$87,898,000  for the same period last year. For the six-month  period ended June
30, 1997,  net income was $2,281,000  ($.35 per share) on sales of  $206,558,000
compared to net income of $1,745,000  ($.27 per share) on sales of  $174,857,000
for the same period last year.

Sales increased  17.4% for the quarter and 18.1% for the six-month  period ended
June 30, 1997.  This increase is primarily the result of the acquisition of five
VGC  Corporation  locations,  one in  August  1996  and four in  November  1996.
Excluding the effect of this acquisition,  sales increased  approximately 2% for
the periods.  The gross profit as a percent of sales increased  modestly for the
periods,  from  17.7% to  17.8%  for the  quarter  and  17.6%  to 17.8%  for the
six-month period.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as a percent of sales  decreased
from 15.5% to 15.1% for the quarter and 15.4% to 15.2% for the six-month period.
This  improvement  reflects the benefit of the integration of the VGC operations
into the Company and the continuing improvement in operating efficiency.

Interest  expense was $806,000 for the quarter and  $1,556,000 for the six-month
period  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to $423,000  and  $943,000  for the same
quarter and six-month  period last year.  This increase is due to increased debt
from the VGC acquisition.

The effective tax rates for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 1997
were 41.8% and  41.3%,  respectively,  compared  to 39.6% and 40.3% for the same
periods  last year.  The higher rate in 1997 is primarily  due to  nondeductible
expenses being a higher percent to income.


Financial Condition and Liquidity
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$953,000 compared to cash provided of $10,139,000 for the same period last year.
For the period ended June 30, 1997,  increases in net asset levels decreased the
cash flow by  approximately  $4.5  million,  while in the same  period last year
decreases in net assets increased the cash flow by approximately $7 million. The
increase in 1997, in part, reflects the adjustment of working capital levels for
the VGC acquisition to ongoing operating levels. Excluding the effect of changes
in assets and liabilities,  the cash provided was $3,529,000 in 1997 compared to
$3,057,000 in 1996.

Net cash used in investing activities was $920,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 compared to $2,384,000  for the same period last year. In the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, the Company  expended $2.4 million for the operating
assets of KPM, a graphics distributor in Michigan and northern Indiana.  Capital
expenditures  for the six months in 1997 were $911,000  compared to $191,000 for
the same period last year.  Capital  expenditures for the remainder of the year,
for which there are no material commitments, are anticipated to be approximately
$1,000,000.

Net cash provided from  financing  activities  was  $1,873,000 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1997 compared to $7,755,000  used in financing  activities
for the same  period  last year.  During the period  ended June 30,  1997,  debt
increased  $2.6  million,  which is  primarily  attributable  to the increase in
working capital during the period. For the same period last year, debt decreased
$7.1  million,  which  reflects  the  effect of cash  generated  from  operating
activities.  The  balance of the cash used for both  periods was  primarily  for
dividend payments.


<PAGE>


The Company's  primary source of debt financing is a revolving  credit agreement
with a commitment  of $50 million of which $14.2  million was unused at June 30,
1997.  The Company  believes this  facility  combined with future cash flow from
operations  will be  adequate to meet the current  capital  requirements  of the
Company.
