                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       THE COMPANY

         MUSE Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware
on October 24, 1995 to develop and market software products designed to enhance
the user's ability to understand and analyze data and information and to provide
solutions to complex data integration and data management problems. The
multisensory capabilities of the software ("MuSE"), enables the user to present
information in real time using visual, auditory, tactical and other analytical
tools. MuSE is based on software licensed to the Company by Sandia Corporation
("Sandia") pursuant to a license agreement dated October 9, 1995 (the "License
Agreement"). The Company has also developed a proprietary software product,
"Continuum", designed for multiuser, real-time collaboration within the MuSE
environment.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
full fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1998.

3.       NOTES RECEIVABLE

         In December 1998 and January 1999, the Company loaned an aggregate of
$225,000 to two executive officers pursuant to their employment contracts in
connection with their relocation to New Mexico.

4.       COSTS IN EXCESS OF VALUE OF REPURCHASED STOCK

         In March 1999, the Company's Chief Technical Officer resigned as an
employee of the Company and entered into a consulting arrangement with the
Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement with such officer,
the Company paid such officer an aggregate of $1,340,000 in exchange for, among
other things, certain restrictions relating to such officer's common stock, a
non-compete provision, repurchase of 155,263 shares of common stock and a right
of first refusal on future sales of common stock by such officer. The excess of
the consideration paid over the value of the shares purchased of $563,605 is
reflected as costs in excess of the value of repurchased stock on the Statement
of Operations.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following presentation of management's discussion and analysis of
the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with the Company's financial statements, the accompanying notes
thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Report. This
section and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ
significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Readers are encouraged to review the section entitled "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Factors Affecting
Operating Results and Market Price of Stock" commencing on page 9 of the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31,
1998 for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties.

Operational Overview

         The Company receives revenues from sales and licensing of its MUSE and
Continuum products and providing consulting and maintenance services related
thereto and from its strategic reselling partner ("SRP") program.

         In June 1998, the Company entered into an SRP agreement (the "CRI
Agreement") with Continuum Resources International ASA, a Norwegian Company
("CRI"), with respect to distribution of the Company's products and services in
the oil and gas industry worldwide. In exchange for such exclusive rights, CRI
paid the Company a non-refundable license fee of $5,000,000 and will pay minimum
sales commitments totaling $12,000,000 through 2001. The Company has recognized
the $5,000,000 license fee under the CRI Agreement as revenue for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998.

         In December 1998, the Company entered into a non-exclusive SRP
agreement with Intergraph Corp., an automated business solutions company with
customers worldwide in a variety of commercial sectors and government. The
agreement with Intergraph provides Intergraph with the non-exclusive right to
resell the Company's products and services worldwide in exchange for minimum
annual sales commitments aggregating $4 million through 2001.

         In February 1999, the Company entered into non-exclusive reseller
agreements under its SRP program with Analytical Mechanics Associates, a
technical consulting firm, and Federal Data Corporation, an information
technology provider serving primarily the Federal government. Each agreement is
for a term of three years with minimum sales commitments of $3 million over the
term of the agreement.

         Although the Company's existing SRP agreements provide for minimum
annual sales commitments, failure to satisfy such commitments will permit the
Company to terminate such SRP agreement. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that the threat of termination of any SRP agreement will be an effective
deterrant against any breach thereof or that such minimum sales commitments will
be realized.

         The Company's primary strategy is to seek to enter into similar SRP
arrangements in other markets. As a result of the significant lead time
necessary to market and consummate such distribution and reseller agreements,
the Company's quarterly results are expected to fluctuate significantly
depending on the timing of completion of such arrangements and any upfront fees
and sales commitments associated therewith. Accordingly, results in any one
quarter are not indicative of results to be experienced in subsequent quarters.

         In March 1999, the Company's Chief Technical Officer and Chairman of
the Board resigned as an employee and director of the Company and entered into a
consulting arrangement with the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the
Termination Agreement with such officer, the Company paid such officer an
aggregate of $1,340,000 in exchange for, among other things, certain
restrictions relating to such officer's common stock, a non-compete provision,
repurchase of 155,263 shares of common stock and a right of first refusal on
future sales of common stock by such officer. The excess of the consideration
paid over the value of the shares purchased of $563,605 is reflected as costs in
excess of the value of repurchased stock on the Statement of Operations.

Results of Operations

         Revenues for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999 were
$714,994 and $1,113,875, respectively, as compared to revenues of $216,410 and
$521,676, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
1998. The increases of $498,584 or 230% for the three month period and $592,199
or 113% for the six month period are primarily attributable to increased product
sales and interest income of $220,000 and $343,000 for the three and six months
periods, respectively, as a result of the equity investment in the Company of $8
million from CRI in July 1998 and the proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering ("IPO") in November 1998.

         Total expenses for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999
were $2,113,722 and $3,430,940, respectively, as compared to total expenses of
$977,586 and $1,708,364, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended
March 31, 1998. The increases of $1,136,136 or 116% for the three month period
and $1,722,576 or 100% for the six month period are primarily attributable to
increases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of
increases in engineering personnel, increases in professional fees related to
the IPO and the Company's obligations as a public reporting company, capital
expenditures for equipment of $972,773, an increase in research and development
and marketing expenses, and a charge of $563,605 related to costs in excess of
the value of repurchased stock as described above.

         Accordingly, the net loss for the three and six month periods ended
March 31, 1999 of $1,398,728 and $2,317,065, respectively, as compared to the
net loss of $761,176 and $1,186,688, respectively, for the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 1998, reflected the significant increases in costs
related to the Company's IPO, the hiring of additional personnel, increased
capital expenditures for equipment and the $563,605 charge related to costs in
excess of the value of repurchased stock without a proportional increase in
revenues for such periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's capital needs have been funded through a series of debt
and equity financings and revenues received through the SRP program.

         In July 1998, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "CRI Warrants") to
CRI for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000.

         In October, 1998, in order to assist CRI with its short term cash
requirements in connection with CRI's commencement of marketing efforts with
respect to the Company's products, the Company approved certain loans to CRI in
the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 payable on demand with interest at 12%
per annum accruing and payable monthly following 60 days from the draw-down
date. As of the date hereof, $1,000,000 is outstanding under such loan
arrangement.

         On November 19, 1998, the Company consummated its IPO through the sale
of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of
Common Stock (the "Warrants") and received gross proceeds of $9,600,000.
Additionally, on December 2, 1998, the underwriter of the Company's IPO
exercised its over-allotment option in full and the Company received gross
proceeds of $1,440,000. Total net proceeds to the Company approximated
$9,000,000.

         Pursuant to their employment agreements, in December 1998 and January
1999, respectively, Curtiz J. Gangi, the Company's President, and Brian Clark,
the Company's Chief Financial Officer, were given loans in the principal amounts
of $150,000 and $75,000, respectively, in connection with their relocation to
New Mexico. The loans bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and are secured
by a pledge of vested stock options having a value equal to the principal amount
of the loans.

         The Company anticipates that it will expend approximately $300,000 for
the purchase of computer hardware and software during the third quarter of
fiscal 1999.


                                        8

<PAGE>



         The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors,
including the progress of its product development programs, the ability of the
Company to enter into strategic arrangements or other marketing arrangements
which result in the commercialization of its products, the need to purchase or
lease additional capital equipment and the cost of filing, prosecuting,
defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property
rights. Based upon its current plans, the Company believes that the net proceeds
of its IPO, together with the net proceeds from the sale of securities to CRI in
July 1998 and funds generated from operations, including payments and royalties
under the Company's various strategic reselling partner agreements, will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.
The foregoing sentence is considered a forward-looking statement for purposes of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to the risks
and factors set forth under "Factors Affecting Operating Results and Market
Price of Securities" commencing on page 9 of the Company's Quarterly Report of
Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. However, if the Company's
current and projected needs change due to unanticipated events or otherwise, the
Company may be required to obtain additional capital and there can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available or that the terms of any
financing will be acceptable to the Company.

Year 2000 Compliance

         There are issues associated with the programming code in existing
computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. The "year 2000 problem" is
pervasive and complex, as virtually every computer operation will be affected in
some way by the rollover of the two digit year value of 00. The issue is whether
computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive information when the
year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information
could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. The Company has not
verified that companies doing business with it or devices that may be used with
the Company's products by an end-user are year 2000 compliant. The Company does
not anticipate that it will incur significant operating expenses or be required
to invest heavily in computer systems improvements to be year 2000 compliant.
The Company believes that its products are currently year 2000 compliant.
However, significant uncertainty exists concerning the potential costs and
effects associated with year 2000 compliance. Any year 2000 compliance problem
of either the Company or its customers or strategic partners could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition.
