ITEM 1.           CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

                  See Item 2 below.

ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                  On August 28, 1996, the Registrant completed the acquisition
of Kelly Russell Studios, Inc. ("KRSI" or "Kelly Russell") through a merger
(the "KRSI Merger") of KRSI into a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Registrant.  The former shareholders of KRSI received one share of common
stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock") for every two shares of
KRSI common stock owned on the effective date of the KRSI Merger. The KRSI
Merger was accounted for as a "purchase."

                  Concurrently with the KRSI Merger, the Registrant acquired
its affiliate, OSP Publishing Inc.("OSP"), and OSP's wholly owned subsidiary
The Button Exchange, Inc. ("BEx") through a merger of OSP (the "OSP
Merger") and BEx (the "BEx Merger") into wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Registrant.  The OSP Merger and the BEx Merger are referred to as the
"Reorganization").  The Reorganization was accounted for as a "put
together" (which is similar to a "pooling of interests") because of the
prior affiliation between Registrant and OSP.  The former shareholders of
OSP received 3,941.5892 shares of Common Stock for each share of OSP common
stock owned on the effective date of the OSP Merger.  As a result of the
OSP Merger, Joseph C. Angard and Michael A. Malm acquired 4,643,192 (35.7%)
and 1,805,248 (13.9%) of the outstanding Common Stock.

                  Prior to the KRSI Merger and the Reorganization, the
Registrant received subscriptions for 4,324,238 shares of Common Stock to
investors in a private placement (the "Private Placement"), subject only to
completion of the KRSI Merger and the Reorganization.  Net proceeds (less
commissions and expenses and distributions) to Global One as a result of the
Private Placement were $2,856,000.  The KRSI Merger, the Reorganization and the
Private Placement are referred to herein as the "Transactions."

ITEM 3.           BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.

                  Not applicable.

ITEM 4.           CHANGES IN BANK'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

                  Not applicable.

                  Not applicable.

                                                                $  6,761
                                                                ========

(9)      The acquisition of Kelly Russell will be accounted for as a purchase,
         applying the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16.
         The total purchase cost will be allocated to Kelly Russell's assets
         and liabilities based on their relative fair values as of the
         Effective Time of the KRSI Merger, based on valuations and other
         studies that are not yet complete.  Accordingly, the excess of the
         purchase cost over the historical book value of the net liabilities
         assumed has not yet been fully allocated to the individual assets and
         liabilities acquired.  Management believes there will be no
         significant change in the allocation of the purchase price once the
         final analysis is completed.  Therefore, the excess purchase cost over
         the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.

                  Purchase cost of equity....................        $ 3,062
                  Plus acquiror's portion of costs
                   associated with the Merger................            635
                  Less book value of net liabilities assumed
                   at June 30, 1996, net of KRSI's portion of
                   costs associated with the Merger of $535..            622
                                                                      ------

                  Cost in excess of net liabilities assumed...        $4,319
                                                                     =======

         Merger and Offering costs consist principally of legal and accounting
         fees, printing, and investment banking costs.  These costs have been
         allocated between the cost of new equity, acquisition of KRSI and
         KRSI's costs of selling its business which will be expensed by KRSI.
