GREY ADVERTISING INC.
AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accompanying
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been
condensed and therefore do not contain all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. The financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair representation have been
included.
3. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
4. The computations of net income per common share for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect, if
any, of the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and of shares
payable in Common Stock pursuant to the Company's Senior Management
Incentive Plan and, for fully diluted net income per common share, the
assumed conversion of the Company's 8-1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures. Also, for the purpose of computing net income per common share
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the
Company's net income was reduced by dividends on the Preferred Stock and
also adjusted by the change in the redemption value of Preferred Stock.
Primary net income per common share is computed as if the stock options
were exercised at the beginning of the period and as if the funds obtained
thereby were used to purchase Common Stock at the average market price
during the period. In computing fully diluted net income per common share,
the market price at the close of the period or the average market price,
whichever was higher, was used to determine the number of shares which
would be assumed to be repurchased. The market price for a share of Class B
Common Stock, which is not publicly traded, is deemed to be equal to the
market price of a share of Common Stock, into which a share of Class B
Common Stock may be converted at the option of the holder, as of the date
such valuation is made.
5. The provision for taxes on income is greater than the Federal statutory
rate principally due to state and local income taxes and effective foreign
tax rates that are in excess of the Federal statutory rate.

6. As of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding
20,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock, 5,000 shares each of its Series
II and Series III Preferred Stock, and 2,000 shares of Series 1 Preferred
Stock. The holder of the Series I, Series II and Series III Preferred Stock
is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Series
1 Preferred Stock is held by a former employee. Each share of Preferred
Stock is to be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the book value
per share attributable to one share of Common Stock and one share of Class
B Common Stock (subject to certain adjustments), less a fixed discount
established upon the issuance of the Preferred Stock. The holders of each
class of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferential
dividends at the annual rate of $0.25 per share, and to participate in
dividends on one share of the Common Stock and one share of the Class B
Common Stock to the extent such dividends exceed the per share preferential
dividend. The redemption date for the Series I, Series II and Series III
Preferred Stock is fixed at April 7, 2004. The terms of the Series I,
Series II and Series III Preferred Stock also give the holder, his estate
or legal representative, as the case may be, the option to require the
Company to redeem his Preferred Stock for a period of 12 months following
his (i) death, (ii) permanent disability or permanent mental disability,
(iii) termination of full-time employment for good reason or (iv)
termination of full-time employment by the Company without cause. The
Company is obligated to redeem the Series 1 Preferred Stock following the
attainment of age 65 by the holder thereof. In connection with the
ownership of Series I, Series II and Series III Preferred Stock, the holder
issued to the Company full recourse promissory notes (which are included in
Other Assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet).
7. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128 ("SFAS 128") "Earnings Per Share." SFAS 128 is designed to improve
the earnings per share information in financial statements by simplifying
the existing guidelines, revising disclosure requirements, and increasing
the comparability of earnings per share calculations on a worldwide basis.
SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The Company does not anticipate that the new
standard will have a material impact on either the computation of its
earnings per share amounts or its related disclosures.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income from commissions and fees increased 10.6% during the third quarter of
1997 and 10% during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to
the same periods in 1996. Absent exchange rate fluctuations, gross income
increased 15.8% in the three months ended September 30, and 14.3% in the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the same periods in 1996. In
the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively, 46.2% and 45.9% of
consolidated gross income was attributable to domestic operations and 53.8% and
54.1% to international operations. In the third quarter of 1997 and the first
nine months of 1997, respectively, gross income from domestic operations
increased 11.2% and 11.3% versus the respective prior periods. Gross income from
international operations increased 10.1% for the third quarter, (19.8% absent
exchange rate fluctuations) and 8.9% for the first nine months of 1997 (16.9%
absent exchange rate fluctuations) when compared to the same periods in 1996.
The increase in gross income in both years primarily resulted from expanded
activities from existing clients and the continued growth of the Company's
general agency and specialized operations.
Salaries and employee related expenses increased 9% in the third quarter of 1997
and 9.3% for the first nine months of 1997 when compared to the respective prior
periods. Office and general expenses increased 13% and 11.6% for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively, versus the comparable
prior periods. These changes are generally in line with the increases in gross
income.
Inflation did not have a material effect on revenue or expenses during 1997 or
1996.
Minority interest applicable to consolidated companies decreased by $294,000 in
the third quarter of 1997 and increased by $120,000 for the first nine months of
1997 as compared to the respective prior periods. These variances are primarily
due to changes in the level of profits of majority-owned companies.
Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliated companies decreased by $419,000
in the third quarter of 1997 and by $178,000 for the first nine months of 1997
as compared to the respective prior periods. These variances are primarily due
to changes in the level of profits of nonconsolidated affiliated companies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The effective tax rate remained relatively constant at 49.9% in the third
quarter of 1997 and 51.1% in the first nine months of 1997 versus 49.3% and
51.6% in the same periods in 1996, respectively.
Net income increased by 14.9% in the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
decreased 0.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to net
income for the same periods in 1996. Primary net income per common share
increased by 15.4% in the three month period ended September 30, 1997 and by 1%
in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 versus the comparable periods
in 1996. Fully diluted net income per common share increased by 15.1% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 0.5% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 when compared to the same periods in 1996. The first quarter
of 1996, however, was favorably affected by non-recurring, non-operating pre-tax
income of almost $4,000,000 primarily related to gains on the sale of an equity
position in a nonconsolidated subsidiary and the liquidation of a non-marketable
investment security. Absent such one-time gains, net income was up 13%, and
primary and fully diluted earnings per common share were up 14.2% and 13.4%,
respectively, for the first nine months of 1997. For purposes of computing
primary net income per common share, the Company's net income is adjusted by (i)
dividends paid on the Company's Preferred Stock and (ii) the change in
redemption value of the Preferred Stock.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital decreased by $11,343,000 from $3,843,000 at December 31, 1996 to
$(7,500,000) at September 30, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$57,850,000 from $112,485,000 to $54,635,000. The decrease in working capital is
primarily attributable to the reclassification of a portion of long-term debt to
current liabilities. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is largely
attributable to the repayment of short-term borrowings and the timing of
collections of accounts receivable and billing of expenses to clients versus
payments to trade vendors. Domestically, the Company has committed lines of
credit totaling $51,000,000. These lines of credit were partially utilized
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 to secure
obligations of selected foreign subsidiaries. The lines of credit were not in
use as of September 30, 1997. There was $25,000,000 outstanding under these
credit lines as of September 30, 1996.
Other lines of credit are available to the Company in foreign countries in
connection with short-term borrowings and bank overdrafts used in the normal
course of business. There were $38,248,000 and $61,008,000 outstanding at
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
