1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Global DirectMail Corp ("Global" or the "Company") is a direct marketer of
brand name and private label computer related products, office products and
industrial products in North America and Europe.
For the basis of presentation, the balance sheet for the period ended
September 30, 1997 includes the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
in conjunction with the acquisition of Infotel, Inc., which was completed on
September 30, 1997. The acquisition had no effect on operations for the
quarter and year to date. Pro forma information relative to the acquisition
of Infotel, Inc. is not presently available.
Net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 were computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares and equivalent shares outstanding for the respective periods.
All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of September 30,1997 and the results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and changes in stockholders' equity
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The December 31, 1996 Balance
Sheet has been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as
of December 31, 1996 and for the period then ended. The results for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for an entire year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Net sales for the quarter increased by $33.8 million or 15% to $259.7
million compared to $225.9 in the year ago quarter. The increase was
attributable due primarily to an increase in average order value to $325 from
$275 in the third quarter of 1996. Total orders for the quarter were 798,000
compared to 821,000 in the year ago quarter. For the quarter, catalogs mailed of
37 million and catalog response rates of 2.2% were consistent with the year ago
quarter. Catalog response rates are calculated as the number of orders entered
during the period divided by the number of catalogs mailed during the period.
Sales during the quarter attributable to the Company's North American operations
increased 15% to $200.8 million compared to $174.5 million in the third quarter
of 1996. North American sales were adversely impacted by the effect of the UPS
labor action in August by an estimated amount of $21 million. European sales for
the quarter increased 15% to $58.9 million compared to $51.3 million in the year
ago quarter. On a currency adjusted basis, European sales for the quarter
increased 24%.
Gross profit for the quarter, which consists of net sales less product
and certain shipping and distribution center costs, decreased by $3.0 million or
5% to $57.3 compared to $60.3 million in the year ago quarter. Gross profit for
the quarter was 22.1% of net sales compared to 26.7% in the third quarter of
1996. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of net sales was attributed to
(i) the effect of the UPS labor action mentioned above resulting in increased
transportation costs and increases in other variable costs associated with the
re-routing of orders via more expensive carriers, and (ii) the Company's
strategic decision to increase the proportion of net sales attributable to brand
name products, particularly computer related products and hardware which also
have lower gross profit margins than many of the Company's other products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased
by $11.3 million or 26% to $54.8 million compared to $43.5 million in the third
quarter of 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales was 21.1% compared to 19.2% in the year ago quarter. Selling, general
and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1997 included one time
charges of $9.8 million associated with the impairment of certain long lived
assets. Prior to the effect of these charges, selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter were $45.0 million or 17.3% of net sales
which represents a decrease of 1.9% compared to the year ago quarter. This
decrease was primarily the result of (i) increased levels of vendor supported
advertising, (ii) continued expense control, and (iii) the leveraging of
selling, general and administrative expenses over a larger sales base.
Income from operations for the quarter decreased by $14.3 million or 85%
to $2.5 million from $16.8 million in the year ago quarter. Income from
operations as a percentage of net sales decreased to 1.0% from 7.5% in the year
ago quarter. Income from North American operations decreased by $15.1 million or
90% from the year ago quarter primarily as a result of the one time charge
related to the impairment of certain long lived assets and the effect of the UPS
labor action in August mentioned above. Income from European operations
increased by $0.8 million or 550% to $0.9 million from $0.1 million in the year
ago quarter resulting primarily from reduced catalog production costs in Europe.
Interest and other income, net, increased by $0.4 million to income of
$0.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 from income of $0.5 million in the
third quarter of 1996. Interest income increased as a result of a higher average
level of investments during the quarter compared to the year ago quarter.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1997 was 37.5%
compared to 38.5% for the third quarter of 1996.
Net income for the quarter was $2.1 million compared to $10.7 million in
the third quarter of 1996 as a result of those items discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary capital needs are (i) to fund the working capital
requirements necessitated by its sales growth and, (ii) acquisitions. The
Company's primary sources of financing have been cash from operations, equity
offerings, and to a lesser extent, bank borrowings. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, the company generated free cash flow of $15.4 million
compared to $11.8 million for the year ago quarter which was a result of
improved asset management, primarily inventory level control. Free cash flow is
defined as cash generated from operating activities net of additions to property
and equipment.
On September 30, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Infotel,
Inc. ("Infotel"), a privately held direct mail marketer and reseller, for
aggregate consideration of $49.1 million representing an initial cash payment of
$40 million, 375,000 shares of Global Common Stock, and purchase related
expenses of $0.8 million, with additional contingent cash consideration for
continuing management.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Net sales increased by $134.4 million or 20% to $792.7 million in the
first nine months of 1997 from $658.3 million in the first nine months of 1996.
The increase was attributable to (i) an increase in average order value to $306
from $261 in the year ago period, (ii) increased orders of 2,593,000 compared to
2,524,000 in the first nine months of 1996, and (iii) an increase in catalog
response rates to 2.2% compared to 2.1% in the year ago period. Catalog response
rates are calculated as the number of orders entered during the period divided
by the number of catalogs mailed during the period. Catalog mailings were level
with the year ago period. Sales attributable to the Company's North American
operations increased 22% to $595.8 million compared to $487.0 million in the
first nine months of 1996. European sales increased 15% to $196.9 million in the
first nine months of 1997 compared to $171.3 million in the first nine months of
1996.
Gross profit, which consists of net sales less product and certain
shipping and distribution center costs, increased by $5.5 million or 3% to
$190.9 million from $185.4 million in the first nine months of 1996. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales was 24.1% compared to 28.2% in the year ago
period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is due mainly
to the Company's strategic decision to increase the proportion of net sales
attributable to brand name products, particularly computer related products and
hardware which typically have lower gross profit margins than many of the
Company's other products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.0 million
or 13% to $151.8 million in the first nine months of 1997 from $134.8 million in
the first nine months of 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales was 19.2% compared to 20.5% in the first nine months of
1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses were adversely effected for
the first nine months of 1997 by a one time charge of $9.8 million related to
the impairment of certain long lived assets. Prior to the effect of these
charges, selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months
of 1997 were $142.0 million or 17.9% which represents a decrease of 2.6%
compared to the first nine months of 1996. This decrease was primarily the
result of (i) increased levels of vendor supported advertising, (ii) continued
expense control, and (iii) the leveraging of selling, general and administrative
expenses over a larger sales base.
Income from operations decreased by $11.5 million or 23% to $39.1
million for the first nine months of 1997 from $50.6 million for the first nine
months of 1996. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 4.9%
compared to 7.7% for the first nine months of 1996. Income from North American
operations decreased $8.9 million or 19% from the year ago period primarily as a
result of the one time charge related to the impairment of certain long lived
assets and the effect of the UPS labor action in August. Income from European
operations decreased by $2.6 million or 70% compared to the year ago period. The
decrease was primarily the result of decreased levels of gross profit margin
that were only partially offset by vendor supported advertising.

<PAGE>
Interest and other income, net, increased by $1.2 million to income of
$2.4 million in the first nine months of 1997 from income of $1.2 million in the
first nine months of 1996. Interest income increased as a result of higher
levels of investments during the period and slightly higher interest rates
compared to the year ago period.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1997 was 37.5%
compared to 38.5% for the the first nine months of 1996.
Net income decreased $6.0 million to $25.9 million in the first nine
months of 1997 from $31.9 million in the first nine months of 1996 as a result
of those items discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary capital needs are (i) to fund the working capital
requirements necessitated by its sales growth and, (ii) acquisitions. The
Company's primary sources of financing have been cash from operations, equity
offerings, and to a lesser extent, bank borrowings. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997, the company generated $21.6 million of free cash flow
compared to $6.7 million for nine month period ended September 30, 1996 which
was a result of improved asset management, primarily inventory level control.
Free cash flow is defined as cash generated from operating activities net of
additions to property and equipment.
On September 30, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Infotel,
Inc. ("Infotel"), a privately held direct mail marketer and reseller, for
