          NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (Dollars in thousands except per share data)


NOTE 1 -- PRESENTATION OF INTERIM INFORMATION
_____________________________________________

   In the opinion of the management of Globe Business Resources,
Inc. ( Globe  or  the Company ), the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include all  adjustments
considered necessary to present fairly its financial position as
of May 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three months ended May 31, 1995 and 1996.  Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year.

    The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented
in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q, and do not
contain certain information included in the Company s audited
consolidated financial statements and notes in its Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996.


NOTE 2 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE
____________________________

   Earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 is
determined by dividing net income applicable to common stock by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Earnings per
share in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 is determined by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock.  The exercise of a warrant to purchase shares of
the Company s common stock in February 1996 caused the dilutive
effect of stock options to become less than 3% in the first

             Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
beginning on page 3.

GENERAL

     Globe operates in the rent-to-rent segment of the furniture
rental industry and rents quality office and residential
furniture to a variety of corporate and individual customers. The
Company sells residential and office furniture that no longer
meets its  showroom condition  standards for rental and offers
new furniture for sale through its showrooms and its account
executives.  The Company s fiscal year ends on February 28/29.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table sets forth for the periods indicated
certain income statement data as a percentage of total revenues
and certain gross profit data as a percentage of respective
furniture rentals and furniture sales revenues.

  Impact of GranTree acquisition

     In January 1993, Globe acquired GranTree Corporation
( GranTree ) for $9.3 million. Until November 1995, the
Company's reported cost of revenues was favorably impacted as
furniture was sold to retail customers or bought out by lease
customers because of two factors: (i) the adoption of fresh-start
reporting in March 1992, at which time GranTree reduced the net
book value of its rental furniture by approximately $7.1 million,
and (ii) the $3.3 million amount by which the book value of
GranTree exceeded the purchase price paid by the Company
(collectively, the  GranTree Gross Profit Accounting Effects").

     The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the

     Due to the significant impact of the GranTree acquisition
and the related GranTree Gross Profit Accounting Effects on the
Company's operations and financial results, the Company's
historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons
will not be indicative of future results.

  Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 1997 to First Quarter Fiscal
  1996

     Total revenues of $13.1 million increased $0.9 million, or
6.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $12.3 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Total California revenues,
which declined 15% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 to the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, declined 2% in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996 but
increased 7% in May 1996 as compared to May 1995, indicative of
an improving revenue trend in California.

     Rental revenues of $9.4 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 increased 6.2% from $8.9 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996. The growth in monthly rent roll (monthly rental
payments required by outstanding furniture leases), which was
1.0% at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 1996,
improved to 10.3% above the comparable prior year period at the
end of the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Sales revenues of $3.7
million increased $0.3 million, or 8.9%, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 from $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996.

     Gross profit of $8.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 increased $0.1 million, or 1.5%, from $8.3 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 and declined as a percentage of
revenues to 64.4% from 67.8% over the same period.  Excluding the
GranTree Gross Profit Accounting Effects, gross profit margin
increased from 63.5% in fiscal 1996 to 64.4% in fiscal 1997.  

     Operating expenses of $6.9 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 increased 5.6% from $6.5 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 due in part to increased general and
administrative expenses related to Globe becoming a public
company in February 1996.  As a percentage of total revenues,
expenses declined to 52.5% from 53.2% over the same period. 

<PAGE>

     As a result of the changes in revenues, gross profit and
operating expenses discussed above, operating income decreased
13.2% from $1.8 million, or 14.6% of revenues in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to $1.6 million, or 11.9% of revenues in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Excluding the GranTree Gross
Profit Accounting Effects, operating income increased 23.6% from
$1.3 million in fiscal 1996, to $1.6 million in fiscal 1997 and
as a percentage of revenues increased from 10.3% to 11.9% over
the same period.

     Interest/other expense decreased $0.4 million, or 66.1%,
from $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to $0.2
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and as a percentage
of total revenues decreased from 4.8% to 1.6% over the same
period.  The decreased expense for fiscal 1996 was due primarily
to lower interest costs from lower debt balances in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.

     Income before income taxes increased $0.2 million, or 12.5%,
to $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and as a
percentage of revenues increased from 9.8% in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 to 10.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. 
Excluding the GranTree Gross Profit Accounting Effects, income
before income taxes as a percentage of revenues increased from
5.5% in fiscal 1996 to 10.3% in fiscal 1997.

     The Company s effective tax rate, which includes federal,
state and local taxes, approximated the statutory rate in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In February 1996, the Company raised net proceeds of
approximately $17.4 million in an initial public offering of its
common stock.  The Company used those proceeds to:  (i) pay a
portion of the Company s outstanding bank debt, (ii) prepay an
outstanding note to the Company s primary lender and (iii) redeem
all outstanding shares of the Company s redeemable preferred
stock plus accrued dividends.  

     At the completion of the initial public offering, a new
$30.0 million line of credit (the 1996 Credit Agreement )
replaced the credit agreement in place at that time (the 1995
Credit Agreement ).  Interest rates for this new line of credit
are based upon a leverage formula, which is currently the lesser
of the prime rate or LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  In June 1996,
Globe used $6.4 million in cash for two acquisitions (see note 4
to the consolidated financial statements).  As a result, at June
20, 1996, the new line of credit provided total unused credit
facilities of approximately $10.9 million, which will be
available for acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

     The Company's principal use of cash is for furniture
purchases.  The Company purchases furniture to replace furniture
which has been sold and to maintain adequate levels of rental
furniture to meet existing and new customer needs.  Furniture
purchases increased from $5.9 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $7.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
reflecting an increase of $216,000 in monthly rent roll during
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to a $51,000 decline
in monthly rent roll during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. 
The increase in furniture purchases was also reflected in the
increase in accounts payable during the first quarter of fiscal
1997.

     Capital expenditures were $0.1 million and $0.3 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively. 
Acquisitions of property and equipment financed through capital
leases, and not reflected in the preceding capital expenditure
data, were $0.1 million and $0 over the same period.

     In the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1997, net cash
provided by operations was $4.6 million and $5.7 million,
respectively, generating $1.4 and $1.9 million, respectively,
less cash than was necessary to fund investing activities. The
1995 Credit Agreement and the 1996 Credit Agreement provided
sufficient financing for the Company's cash requirements in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively.
