                     GLOBAL ONE DISTRIBUTION & MERCHANDISING INC.

                 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of operations and of cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 have been prepared by Global One Distribution & Merchandising Inc.
("Global One" or the "Company") without audit.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) have been made
which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company at March 31, 1997 and for the three-
month period then ended.

Although the Company believes that the disclosure in the consolidated 
financial statements is adequate for a fair presentation thereof, certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1996 audited statements 
were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 1997.  These consolidated 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial 
statements and notes thereto contained in that document.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following:

                                      ------------   ---------------

3.   MERGER AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On March 27, 1996, OSP Publishing, Inc. ("OSP") entered into an agreement to
acquire Kelly Russell Studios, Inc. ("KRSI"), a publicly-traded entity. Global
One was formed to serve as a holding company for OSP and its subsidiaries and to
acquire KRSI.  On August 28, 1996, the Company acquired KRSI through a merger of
KRSI into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "KRSI Merger").  In
connection with the KRSI Merger, the Company issued 2,041,189 shares of Common
Stock to the former shareholders of KRSI.  Concurrently with the KRSI Merger,
the Company acquired its affiliates, OSP and The Button Exchange, Inc., through
a merger of those companies into wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the
"Reorganization").  In connection with the Reorganization, the Company issued
6,448,442 shares to the former shareholders of OSP.  Also concurrently with the
KRSI Merger and the Reorganization, the Company issued 4,324,238 shares of
Common Stock to investors in a private placement (the "Private Placement" and,
together with the "KRSI Merger" and the "Reorganization," the "Transactions"). 
Net proceeds (less commissions and expenses and  distributions) to the Company
as a result of the Private Placement were $2,824,000.  The Company's Common
Stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ 


                                      -9-

SmallCap Market effective August 28, 1996.

4.   SALE OF SDI AND PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATION

In 1996, OSP entered into an agreement with the minority shareholder and
President of SDI under which the minority shareholder had an option to purchase
the 51% ownership of SDI held by OSP at a determined price.  Effective December
31, 1996, the minority shareholder exercised the option and purchased the 51% of
the common stock of SDI held by OSP for total consideration of $1,575,000.  The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the statement of
operations for SDI for only the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The
consolidated balance sheet at December 31,1996 reflected the sale of SDI.   Net
sales and the net income of SDI for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
approximately $4.1 million and $93,000, respectively.

As noted in Note 3, the Company merged with a public entity effective August 28,
1996.  The following table sets forth (in thousands, except per share data) the
unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition of KRSI and
disposition of SDI were consummated at the beginning of 1996.  The unaudited
results of operations data consists of historical results of the Company as
adjusted to give effect to (1) amortization of the excess of the purchase price
over the net assets acquired for KRSI, (2) elimination of the allocation of the
profit to the minority shareholder of SDI and (3) pro forma effect of income
taxes as if OSP had been taxed as a C Corporation.  The unaudited pro forma
results of operations do not include cost reductions from the elimination of
duplicated operating expenses such as personnel, rent and warehouse operations. 
The unaudited pro forma weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding give effect to the Transactions described in Note 3 for all
periods presented.

5.  PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE

In connection with the organization of Global One as the parent company of OSP,
the stockholders of OSP received 6,448,442 shares of common stock of Global One
in exchange for the common stock outstanding at December 31, 1995.  The pro
forma weighted average shares outstanding for 1996 assumes that this exchange
had occurred throughout the period presented, includes the dilutive common
equivalent shares from stock warrants (using the treasury stock method) and also
gives effect to 1,393,550 shares deemed to be outstanding in 1996.  These shares
represent the approximate number of shares deemed to be sold by the Company (at
the net offering proceeds of $1.26 per share) to fund the S corporation
distribution of $2,350,000 that was declared prior to the closing of the KRSI
acquisition and private placement offering and was paid from the proceeds


                                    -10-

<PAGE>

of the offering.  Common and common equivalent shares issued during the 
12-month period prior to the offering have been included in the calculation 
using the treasury stock method as if they were outstanding for all periods 
presented.

6.   WAREHOUSE RELOCATION

Effective March 31, 1997, the Company agreed to a plan to outsource its
warehouse facility including the inventory, distribution and shipping functions
as well as certain accounting functions.   The accrual recorded in the financial
statements as of March 31, 1997 includes the estimated costs of employee
severance arrangements and accrued but unpaid vacation time for employees to be
terminated. It also includes the estimated physical moving and relocation costs
as well as the write-off of leasehold improvements at the Company's current
warehouse location.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The business of the Company is conducted through the Company's 
subsidiaries, OSP Publishing, Inc. ("OSP"), BEx Corp. ("BEx") and, since 
August 28, 1996, Kelly Russell Studios, Inc. ("KRSI"), each of which conducts 
a distinct business.  OSP develops and markets posters incorporating 
primarily licensed images and characters from motion pictures, television, 
animation, music, sports and popular culture.  BEx develops and markets 
licensed and non-licensed buttons, key rings and stickers.  KRSI creates,

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 
31,1996

    The Company's net sales decreased $3.8 million, or 42.7%, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. 
This decrease was primarily a result of the sale of SDI on December 31, 1996,
which contributed sales of $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31,
1996. OSP experienced increased sales of $200,000 or 4.3% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 compared with 1996.   This increase can be attributed to
sales of products acquired from Zanart Entertainment in late 1996, which
consisted primarily of STAR WARS framed prints associated with the re-release of
the trilogy of movies produced by Lucasfilms.   BEx's sales decreased $100,000,
or 50%, for the quarter compared with the comparable period in 1996 as a result
of the redirection of marketing and sales efforts which focuses on sales of
products produced for major movie promotions.  KRSI was merged into the Company
effective August 28, 1996  and contributed sales of $200,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.    

    Cost of goods sold decreased $2.3 million, or 53.5%, for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to $2.0 million  compared with $4.3 million for the same
period in 1996.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to
39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 48.3% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.  The Company's cost of goods sold decreased primarily
because SDI, which historically has had a higher cost of goods sold percentage,
had costs of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

    OSP's cost of goods sold remained unchanged in dollar amounts.  For the
first quarter of 1997, OSP's costs of goods sold sales as a percentage of net
sales was 37.5% compared with 39.1% in the first quarter of 1996. This is
primarily due to the sales of STAR WARS products which were purchased at a
discount from Zanart Entertainment's historical costs and therefore carried
higher margins for OSP. 

    BEx's cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 1997 was 100% of net
sales compared with 50% of net sales for the first quarter of 1996.   The
deteriorated margin can be attributed to the fixed components of cost of goods
sold spread over the lower net sales, as well as sales during the quarter of
merchandise which is being discontinued and therefore sold at discounted prices.
    
    KRSI's cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales for first quarter
was 50.0%.

    License and royalty expense as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.7%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 10.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  OSP's royalty rate increased to 14.6% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 from 13.0% for the same period in 1996 due primarily to the
increased sales under Disney licenses which have higher royalty rates. 
Additionally, SDI, which has historically had the lowest royalty rate, had a
royalty rate of 7.3% in the first quarter of 1996, which lowered the Company's
combined royalty rate. Since SDI was sold on December 31, 1996, this effect was
not present in the first quarter of 1997.

    Warehouse and selling expenses decreased $600,000, or 25.0%, to $1.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $2.4  million for the
same period in 1996.  SDI had costs of approximately $450,000 which represented
approximately 11% of net sales.   The remaining decreases after removing the
effect of SDI were primarily the result of lower salaries and wages as well as
efficiencies with the cost reductions of BEx, which more than offset the
increase associated with the addition of KRSI.  Warehouse and selling expenses
as a percentage of net sales increased to 35.3% for the three months ended March
31, 1997 from 26.3% for the same period in 1996 due to the sale of SDI which had
lower warehouse and selling expenses as a percentage of net sales than OSP.  

    Warehouse relocation expense represents an estimated $1.0 million accrual
for the costs associated with the relocation of the Company's current warehouse.
The Company has signed a letter of intent with a fulfillment company located in
New Jersey which will be responsible for the entire order fulfillment and
inventory handling and distribution functions.

    General and administrative expenses decreased by $300,000, or 13.3%, to
$1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.5 million for the
same period in 1996 due primarily to the sale of SDI. SDI contributed
approximately $500,000 in general and administrative costs in the first quarter
of 1996.   Offsetting that


                                     -14-
<PAGE>

decrease were increases in general and administrative costs primarily as a 
result of higher amortization due to the goodwill from the KRSI acquisition, 
which totaled $117,000 for the three months ended 1997.  Other increased 
costs were insurance and professional fees as a result of being a public 
entity.

    Interest expense decreased $100,000, or 33.3%, to $200,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $300,000 for the same period in 1996.  The
decrease in interest expense is due primarily to the sale of SDI.

    The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $67,000 in the
first quarter of 1996 as a result of the profits of the Company's 51% owned
subsidiary, SDI, which was sold on December 31, 1996.   There was no provision
in the first quarter of 1997 as a result of operating losses and no income tax
benefit was recognized for the losses since the additional deferred tax asset
from the net operating loss carryforwards was offset by an increased valuation
allowance.

    In the first quarter of 1996, 49% of the income of SDI was allocated to the
minority stockholder and totaled $45,000.   Since SDI was sold on December 31,
1996, there was no allocation of profit or loss in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At March 31, 1997, working capital was a deficit of approximately $ 1.5
million primarily as a result of the Company's line of credit being classified
as a current liability for the reasons set forth below.  

    Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March
31, 1997 was approximately $244,000 due primarily to the net loss, reduction in
accounts payable and royalties payable, which were offset by reductions in
accounts receivable and inventory.  Net cash used in investing activities was
$134,000 primarily as a result of the purchase of property and equipment.  Net
cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31,
1997 was approximately $346,000 due primarily to proceeds from the collection of
the note receivable from the sale of SDI offset by repayment of a portion of the
revolving line of credit as well as payment of subordinated debt to a vendor.

    The Company has a line of credit with a financial institution which
provides for maximum borrowing of $7,500,000 subject to certain conditions.  The
outstanding balance at March 31, 1997 was approximately $3.0 million.  The
outstanding balance under the line of credit bore interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 1.75% through the first quarter and is payable monthly.  Under its
line of credit, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios. On
April 17, 1997, the Company was notified it was in default under its credit
agreement as a result of borrowings in excess of the defined collateral base.  
The Company cured the default within the permitted ten-day period.  
Additionally, as a result of the operating losses in the first quarter of 1997,
the Company was not in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 31,
1997.   The Company is currently negotiating a third amendment to its credit
agreement which provides for (1) a waiver of the financial covenants as of March
31, 1997 and the resetting of the financial covenants upon the Company's filing
of this Form 10-Q and supplying new financial projections to the lender, (2) a
temporary over advance agreement of $250,000 to be repaid on or before May 31,
1997, (3) revised maximum level of borrowings under the credit agreement of
$3,200,000, (4) an increase in the interest rate from prime plus 1.75% to prime
plus 4.75% and (5) the removal of the $300,000 limit on the use of a factor on
the assets of KRSI which indebtedness would be senior to the position of the
lender.   Since the Company is in default under its credit agreement, new
covenants have not yet been negotiated and future compliance with financial
covenants have not been waived, the balance of the revolving line of credit has
been classified as a current liability as of March 31, 1997.

    On August 28, 1996, the Company acquired KRSI through a merger  and 
effected a reorganization of OSP Publishing, Inc. and The Button Exchange, 
Inc. Concurrently with these transactions, the Company issued 4,324,237 
shares of common stock to investors in a private placement (the "Private 
Placement").  Net proceeds (less commissions and expenses and distributions) 
to the Company as a result of the Private Placement were $2,824,000.  Prior 
to the effectiveness of the Transactions, OSP paid a dividend of $2,350,000 
to Joseph C. Angard and Michael Malm,  former OSP shareholders and the 
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and  the Chief Operating 
Officer of the Company, respectively. 

    On December 31, 1996, the Company consummated the sale of its 51%-owned
subsidiary, SDI, pursuant to


                                       -15-

<PAGE>

a redemption of all of the SDI stock held by OSP (the "SDI Stock").  
Following the redemption, Stanley DeSantis, SDI s President and the owner of 
the remaining 49%, was the sole stockholder of SDI.  In consideration of the 
SDI Stock, the Company received an aggregate of $1.575 million,  $417,000 of 
which was paid upon the redemption and $1,158,000 of which was paid on 
February 28, 1997.   The consideration for the SDI Stock was based upon 
formula relating to SDI s prior four years of operating income.

    The Company has experienced operating losses for the first three months of
1997.  However, the Company's sales typically fluctuate based on seasonal
releases of major films, which correspond to sales of promotional products
related to such releases.  In 1997, the Company has continued to focus and has
moved aggressively to reduce its operating costs.   The Company has
significantly reduced its administrative and warehouse personnel and
discontinued many non-performing poster titles, and plans to reduce the number
of new licenses signed in 1997.   This will reduce the initial cash outlays of
pre-production, art and design costs and effort.   Additionally, the Company has
signed a letter of intent with a fulfillment company which involves the
outsourcing of the Company's warehouse, distribution, inventory and shipping
functions.   The fulfillment company will charge a monthly fee based on sales
volume which will change many of the Company's fixed costs to variable costs as
well as reduce the shipping costs of products.  The Company believes that its
credit facility, together with the continued cost reduction plans and ability to
expand the use of financing of the KRSI business upon negotiation of an amended
credit agreement, will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements
throughout 1997.   Additionally, financing will be required to provide for any
business or product line acquisitions and significant expansion of the Company's
international business.

          On April 17, 1997, the Company was notified it was in default 
          under its credit agreement as a result of borrowings in excess 
          of the defined collateral base.   The Company cured the 
          default within the permitted ten-day period.   As a result of 
          the operating losses in the first quarter of 1997, the Company 
          was not in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 
          31, 1997.   The Company is currently negotiating a third 
          amendment to its credit agreement which provides for (1) a 
          waiver of the financial covenants as of March 31, 1997 and the 
          resetting of the financial covenants upon the Company's filing 
          of this Form 10-Q and supplying new financial projections to 
          the lender, (2) a temporary over advance agreement of $250,000 
          to be repaid on or before May 31, 1997, (3) revised maximum 
          level of borrowings under the credit agreement of $3,200,000, 
          (4) an increase in the interest rate from prime plus 1.75% to 
          prime plus 4.75% and (5) the removal of the $300,000 limit on 
          the use of a factor on the assets of KRSI which indebtedness 
          would be senior to the position of the lender. Since the 
          Company is in default under its credit agreement, new 
          covenants have not yet been negotiated and future compliance
