ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On December 2, 1999, eGlobe, Inc. ("eGlobe" or the "Company"), acquired
Coast  International,  Inc.  ("CIT").  CIT,  based in Kansas City, has developed
innovative  Internet products and services which eGlobe management believes will
strengthen the eGlobe  offerings in the telephone  portal and unified  messaging
area,  as well as adding  to its  customer  support  capabilities  in  providing
services on an outsource basis to telephone companies and ISPs around the world,
and providing eGlobe with its first paying customers in eCommerce.

         Pursuant to the  Agreement  and Plan of Merger dated as of November 29,
1999 by and among  eGlobe,  eGlobe  Merger  Sub No. 5, Inc.,  which was  renamed
eGlobe/Coast,   Inc.  as  part  of  the  merger  ("Merger  Sub"),  CIT  and  the
stockholders  of CIT (the "Merger  Agreement"),  CIT merged with and into Merger
Sub,  with the result  that  Merger Sub  survived  the merger as a wholly  owned
subsidiary of eGlobe.  eGlobe  purchased CIT for  approximately  $12.6  million,
including  the issuance of 882,904  shares of common stock and 16,100  shares of
Series O convertible  preferred stock (the "Series O Preferred Stock") which are
convertible into a maximum of 3,220,000 shares of common stock.

         The shares of Series O Preferred Stock are convertible, at a conversion
price equal to $5.00 at the holder's option,  into shares of common stock at any
time after the later of (A) one year after the date of issuance and (B) the date
eGlobe has received  stockholder approval for such conversion and the applicable
Hart-Scott-Rodino  waiting  period has  expired or  terminated  (the  "Clearance
Date").  The shares of Series O Preferred Stock will  automatically be converted
into  shares  of  common  stock,  on the  earliest  to  occur  of (v) the  fifth
anniversary  of the first  issuance of Series O Preferred  Stock,  (x) the first
date as of which the last  reported  sales  price of  common  stock on Nasdaq is
$6.00 or more for any 15  consecutive  trading  days  during any period in which
Series O Preferred  Stock is  outstanding,  (y) the date that 80% or more of the
Series O Preferred Stock eGlobe has issued has been converted into common stock,
or (4)  eGlobe  completes  a public  offering  of equity  securities  with gross
proceeds  to  eGlobe  of at least  $25  million  at a price  per share of $5.00.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Series  O  Preferred  Stock  will  not be
converted  into eGlobe  common  stock prior to eGlobe's  receipt of  stockholder
approval for such conversion and the expiration or termination of the applicable
Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. If the events listed in the preceding sentence
occur prior to the Clearance  Date, the automatic  conversion  will occur on the
Clearance Date.


         eGlobe, through Merger Sub, also assumed approximately $3.25 million of
CIT debt.  The CIT debt will be secured by the assets  acquired  in the  merger,
assets of certain of eGlobe's other subsidiaries and a guarantee from eGlobe and
certain of its subsidiaries. The loan and security arrangements were approved by
eGlobe's existing secured lender.

         The  transaction  was  accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method  of
accounting.

         The foregoing description of the Merger does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (a) the Merger Agreement, filed
as Exhibit 2.1  hereto,  and (b) the  Certificate  of  Designations,  Rights and
Preferences of 10% Series O Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  filed as
Exhibit 4.1 hereto, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of
the press  release,  dated  December  1, 1999,  issued by eGlobe  regarding  the
above-described transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

         Pursuant to the  Agreement  and Plan of Merger dated as of November 29,
