Risk Factors Affecting Globe
- ----------------------------

         Globe's business operations and strategy are subject to a number of
uncertainties and risks which could adversely affect its performance in the
future. Among these are the following factors:

         Globe's principal growth strategy depends on the acquisition of other
companies in the corporate housing and furniture rental businesses. Although
previous acquisitions have been successful to date, there can be no assurance
that any additional acquisitions will be consummated or that, if acquisitions
are consummated, they will be successful. Acquisitions require a significant
commitment of corporate resources, management attention and capital which, in
certain cases, could exceed that available to Globe. Additionally, Globe could
experience unexpected costs and operational difficulties in integrating acquired
businesses.

         There can be no assurances that Globe will be able to maintain large
customer contracts, enter into new contracts, or increase market share by
expanding into new markets in the future.

         Globe depends on the continued availability of an adequate supply of
corporate housing units in its markets. There can be no assurances that Globe
will be able to obtain the necessary units and lease terms to match customer
demand.

         Many of Globe's competitors have greater financial and other resources
than Globe. These resources could give them an advantage in price and service
areas.

         Several of Globe's furniture rental customers compete with Globe in its
corporate housing business. As Globe expands in the corporate housing area, it
may continue to lose furniture rental business from those competitors.

         Globe is dependent on its computer systems in its daily operations. In
addition, Globe is developing a comprehensive corporate housing business
information system. Significant cost or time overruns on this system development
or unidentified deficiencies in other Globe systems could have a material
adverse affect on Globe's operations.

         While Globe is not aware of Year 2000 noncompliance exposures related
to either its own operations or the operations of customers or vendors and it
does not have a relationship with any third-party vendor which is material to
its operations, there can be no assurance that either its own systems or the
systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be converted in a
timely manner or that the failure to convert would not have an adverse impact on
Globe's operations. Costs associated with any such failure cannot be reasonably
estimated.

         The Company believes that the industry it serves is significantly
influenced by economic conditions generally and by levels of job creation,
relocations of employees and

adverse affect on Globe's operations.
