                          (A development stage company)
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States 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
nine month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. In connection
with the preparation of these financial statements, management was required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets,
liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual
results could differ from such estimates. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" hereinafter
includes Marine Shuttle Operations Inc. and its subsidiary. Certain
reclassifications having no effect on income have been made to the 1999
financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

2.       NATURE OF OPERATIONS

         Marine Shuttle Operations Inc. (the "Company"), through its
wholly-owned Norwegian subsidiary, Marine Shuttle Operations AS ("MSOAS"), is
seeking to become a leading player in the market for decommissioning, installing
and transporting of offshore oil and gas structures. The Company, being in the
development stage, has not generated any significant revenues from operations
and does not expect to generate any significant revenues from operations until
the year 2003 at the earliest. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will ever achieve commercially significant sales. To date, the Company
has not entered into any contracts for the use of its proposed services, and no
assurance can be given that any such contracts will materialize.

         In 1998, the Company acquired 100% of MSOAS, and approximately 68% of
the outstanding capital stock of Offshore Shuttle AS ("OSAS"). At the time, OSAS
held the licensing and marketing rights to the "Offshore Shuttle", a vessel
being developed to lift and carry large installations without extensive cutting
or dismantling. In September 1999, OSAS merged into MSOAS. As a result, MSOAS
became the holder of the licensing and marketing rights to the Offshore Shuttle,
and the Company's ownership interest in MSOAS was reduced to approximately 81%.
The merger was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of interests
method. Prior results were not restated because the impact on the consolidated
financial statements from inception through September 1999 was not material.

         In April 2000, the Company acquired an additional 8.41% of the
outstanding shares of MSOAS in exchange for an aggregate of 1,030,002 shares of
common stock. In June 2000, the Company acquired an additional 9.69% of the
outstanding shares of MSOAS in exchange for an aggregate of 1,186,283 shares of
common stock, and acquired the remaining MSOAS shares (approximately 0.77%) for
cash. These acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase. As a result, the
Company now owns 100% of the outstanding shares of MSOAS.

3.       GOING CONCERN

         The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
its ability to obtain significant additional financing. As shown in the
financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and at September
30, 2000 had accumulated losses from operations amounting to $17,326,485 and a
working capital deficit of $5,426,239, with no operating assets presently
generating cash to fund its operating and capital requirements. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on
reasonable terms, if at all, or that any financing transaction will not be
dilutive to current shareholders. If the Company is not able to raise additional
capital, it may be required to significally curtail or cease its operating
activities. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, and do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

4.       EXTERNAL FINANCING

         On March 1, 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
ValorInvest Ltd., an investment company, pursuant to which ValorInvest agreed to
lend the Company an aggregate of up to $6,000,000. The loan agreement was
amended and restated as of December 31, 1999. The loan agreement provides that
advances shall be made in increments of $250,000 and shall not exceed $500,000
in any single month unless agreed to by ValorInvest. Any monies advanced under
the loan agreement shall bear interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum and shall
be due and payable on December 31, 2000; except that if the Company raises, in
the aggregate, in excess of $2,000,000 from equity or long term debt financings
after January 1, 2000, then the loan shall be repayable to the extent of 25% of
such excess. As of September 30, 2000, $2,550,000 had been advanced under this
loan agreement.

         In August 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Statens
naerings og distriktsutviklingsfond (the Norwegian Industrial and Regional
Development Fund, "SND"), pursuant to which SND agreed to lend the Company an
aggregate of up to NOK 4,000,000 (approximately $436,857) to finance specific
tasks within the Offshore Shuttle project. As of September 30, 2000, NOK
2,358,617 (approximately $257,595) had been advanced under the loan agreement.
The principal is repayable over five years commencing two years after
disbursement, in semi-annually installments, each in the amount of NOK 400,000.


         In October 1998, the Company entered into an engagement letter with MFC
Merchant Bank S.A. pursuant to which MFC shall act, on a best-efforts basis, as
agent for the Company in raising additional capital. As consideration for its
services, MFC shall receive a success fee equal to five percent of the capital
raised plus DM 100,000 (approximately $54,000) per month until the completion or
termination of the MFC financing. In addition, all of MFC's out-of-pocket
expenses shall be reimbursed, and if the Company raises the necessary funds
through another source, MFC shall receive a break-up fee equal to the greater of
$1,200,000 or 350,000 shares of common stock. In June 2000, MFC agreed to defer
the monthly fee obligation from May 1, 2000 through December 1, 2000 or until
additional equity is raised, whichever comes first. In return for granting this
deferral, the deferred fees will be increased by 10%. This 10% premium may be
paid with shares of common stock.

4.       EXTERNAL FINANCING (continued)

         In September 1999, the Board of Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale
(WestLB) of Dusseldorf issued its conditional approval to underwrite a $157.5
million loan facility for the first Offshore Shuttle. Based on such approval,
the Company has mandated WestLB to act as sole arranger and underwriter for the
financing. WestLB's commitment is subject to several material conditions,
including satisfactorily completing its due diligence, the Company's obtaining
European government guarantees to secure a significant portion of the loan
facility, and its completing of an additional equity financing. The Company is
seeking to fulfill these conditions. The Company has deferred debt issue costs
related to the financing.

         In February 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with MFC
Merchant Bank S.A pursuant to which MFC agreed to lend the Company an aggregate
of up to $2,000,000, provided that advances shall not exceed $350,000 in any
single month. Any monies advanced under the loan agreement shall bear interest
at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum and shall be due and payable in full on
February 25, 2001. As of September 30, 2000, $900,000 had been advanced under
the loan agreement.

         In April 2000, the Company consummated a private placement of 450,000
shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $315,000.

         In June 2000, the Company consummated a private placement of 571,429
shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $400,000.

         In July 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Holger
Timm, a foreign individual, pursuant to which Mr. Timm agreed to lend the
Company an aggregate of up to $1,500,000, provided that advances shall not
exceed $500,000 in any single month. Any monies advanced under the loan
agreement shall bear interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum and shall be due and
payable in full on December 31, 2000. The advances may be converted at the
option of the lender into the Company's common stock at 80% of the five day
average trading price of the common stock prior to conversion, but not less than
a floor price as calculated pursuant to the loan agreement. As of September 30,
2000, $1,350,000 had been advanced under the loan agreement.

5.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company has not provided for an income tax liability due to the
availability of operating loss carry-forwards. The Company has net operating
losses which may give rise to future tax benefits of approximately $3,817,000 as
of September 30, 2000. To the extent not used, net operating loss carry-forwards
expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2007. Based on available
evidence, including the Company's history of operating losses, the uncertainty
of future profitability and the impact of tax laws which may limit the Company's
ability to utilize such loss carry-forwards, management has recorded a full
valuation allowance against the realization of the net deferred tax assets.

6.       STOCK OPTIONS

         As of September 30, 2000, options to purchase 110,000 shares were
outstanding under the Stock Option Plan. The Company applies APB 25 in
accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, because the option price is
equal to the fair market price at the date of grant, no compensation expense has
been recognized for its stock option plans.

7.       RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, which standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments. SFAS
133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The impact on the Company's financial statements has not been determined, but
the Company currently does not use derivatives to manage its exposure to foreign
exchange and interest rate risk. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 as of January
1, 2001.

         In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation. This interpretation modifies the current practice of accounting
for certain stock award agreements and is generally effective beginning July 1,
2000. The initial impact of this interpretation on the Company's results of
operations and financial position will not be material.

             On October 18, 2000, MSOAS entered into a new lease agreement with
RC Group ASA for office space in Sandnes, Norway. The annual lease is for
NOK435,852 ($47,600) with adjustments for increases in the consumer price index.
The agreement expires in October 2003. Sverre Hanssen, the Chairman of the Board
of Directors of MSOAS, is the principal shareholder and the President of RC
Group ASA.

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

         The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial
condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this
quarterly report and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

General

         The Company, through its wholly-owned Norwegian subsidiary, Marine
Shuttle Operations AS ("MSOAS"), is seeking to become a leading player in the
market for decommissioning, installing, and transporting offshore oil and gas
structures.

         The Company has designed a vessel, the "Offshore Shuttle," which it
believes will be capable of lifting most of the largest topsides in one piece
and also will be capable of diving partly below the water surface to remove a
complete jacket in one operation. The Company anticipates that construction of
the first Offshore Shuttle will be completed by the first quarter of 2003, at
the earliest. Construction of a second Offshore Shuttle is intended to commence
after successful completion and testing of the first Offshore Shuttle, and
construction of a third Offshore Shuttle is intended to commence one year after
the second is ordered.

         The Company was incorporated in Nevada in May 1997 under the name
Geoteck International, Inc. On May 29, 1998, it changed its name to Marine
Shuttle Operations Inc. In 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of MSOAS in exchange for 7,600,000 shares of common stock. In 1998, the
Company also acquired approximately 68% of the outstanding stock of Offshore
Shuttle AS ("OSAS"), the holder of the licensing and marketing rights to the
Offshore Shuttle design, in exchange for 4,937,607 shares of common stock.

         In September 1999, OSAS merged into MSOAS. As a result, MSOAS became
the holder of the licensing and marketing rights to the Offshore Shuttle, and
the Company's ownership interest in MSOAS was reduced to approximately 81%.

         In April 2000, the Company acquired an additional 8.41% of the
outstanding shares of MSOAS in exchange for an aggregate of 1,030,002 shares of
common stock. In June 2000, the Company acquired an additional 9.69% of the
outstanding shares of MSOAS in exchange for an aggregate of 1,186,283 shares of
common stock, and acquired the remaining MSOAS shares (approximately 0.77%) for
cash. As a result, the Company now owns 100% of the outstanding shares of MSOAS.

Results of Operations

         The Company is in the development stage and has generated revenues to
date only from study work. Since the merger of OSAS into MSOAS, the Company's
main operations have been conducted through MSOAS.


Three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

         Operating revenues. Operating revenues for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000 were $108,536, an increase of $72,464, compared to $36,072
for the same period in 1999. The revenues were generated from sporadic study
work reimbursed by clients. The Company is still in the development stage and
does not expect to generate revenues from operation until 2003 at the earliest,
except from some sporadic study work.

         Personnel costs. Personnel costs include costs for both employees and
hired personnel and were $492,338 for the three month period ended September 30,
2000, and $409,664 for the three month period ended September 30, 1999. The
increase in cost of $82,674 was mainly due to more personnel working on client
studies.

         General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $170,023 and $188,804, respectively for the three month periods

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The decrease in costs was mainly due to
higher computer costs in 1999.

         Marketing. Marketing expenses for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000 were $37,624, a decrease of $39,095 from the marketing
expenses of $76,719 for same period in 1999. The decrease was a result of
purchasing fewer marketing materials and services in the current period.

         Amortization of goodwill and intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and
intangibles for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 was $1,016,899,
an increase of $48,684 compared to the amortization of goodwill and intangibles
of $968,215 for the same period in 1999. The increase was due to amortization of
increased goodwill and intangibles resulting from the acquisition of the
minority interest in MSOAS in June 2000.

         Currency exchange loss/gain. For the three month period ended September
30, 2000 the Company had a currency exchange gain of $8,082 compared to a gain
of $76,051 for same period in 1999. The difference of $67,969 was a result of
weakening of the Norwegian Kroner against the US Dollar during the period in
2000.

         Interest expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000 was $15,996, an increase of $7,384 compared to interest
expense of $8,612 for the same period in 1999. The reason for the increase was
that the Company has had higher interest bearing debt in the current quarter
compared to the same period in 1999.

         Minority interest. Through September 14, 1999 the minority interest was
approximately 32% of OSAS. After the merger between OSAS and MSOAS in September
1999, the minority interest became approximately 19% of the merged company. In
April and June 2000, the Company acquired the remaining minority interest.

         Nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

         Operating revenues. Operating revenues for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 were $108,536, an increase of $48,732 compared to $59,804 for
the same period in 1999. The revenues were generated from sporadic study work
reimbursed by clients. The Company is still in the development stage and does
not expect to generate revenues from operation until 2003 at the earliest,
except from some sporadic study work.

         Personnel costs. Personnel costs include costs for both employees and
hired personnel and were $1,029,313 for the nine month period ended September
30, 2000, a decrease of $246,165 from the personnel costs of $1,275,478 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999. The net decrease in costs was mainly
due to cost savings achieved as a result of the merger between MSOAS and OSAS in
September 1999.

         Legal, audit and advisory services. Legal, audit and advisory services
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 were approximately $289,818,
a decrease of $78,364 compared to legal, audit and advisory services of $368,182
for the same period in 1999. The decrease was mainly due to lower consulting
fees as work was shifted from consultants to our personnel.

         General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 were $547,879, a
decrease of $219,129 from the general and administrative expenses of $767,008
for the same period in 1999. The decrease in costs was mainly due to cost
savings achieved as a result of the merger between MSOAS and OSAS in September
1999.

         Marketing. Marketing expenses for the nine month period ended September
30, 2000 were $142,176, a decrease of $109,337 from the marketing expenses of
$251,513 for same period in 1999. The decrease was a result of purchasing fewer
marketing materials and services in the current period.

         Technical Development. Technical development costs for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000 were $29,197, a decrease of $249,302 compared to
$278,499 for same period in 1999. The decrease was due to less technical
development work performed in the current period.

         Interest income. The interest income for the nine months period ended
September 30, 2000 was $9,253, a decrease of $31,737 from the interest income of

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

$40,990 for same period in 1999. The decrease was a result of less interest
bearing cash and cash equivalents during the nine months period in 2000.

         Currency exchange loss/gain. For the nine months period ended September
30, 2000 the Company had a currency exchange gain of $14,655, compared to a loss
of $ 28,685 for same period in 1999. The difference of $43,340 was a result of
weakening of the Norwegian Kroner against the US Dollar during the period in
2000.

         Minority interest. Through September 14, 1999 the minority interest was
approximately 32% of OSAS. After the merger between OSAS and MSOAS in September
1999, the minority interest became approximately 19% of the merged company. This
resulted in a larger minority interest loss, which has been offset by the
elimination of the minority interest as a result of the Company's acquisition of
the remaining minority interest in April and June 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
its ability to obtain significant additional financing. As of September 30,
2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $288,572, a deficit
accumulated during the development stage of $17,326,485, and a working capital
deficit of $5,426,239. The Company is in the development stage with no operating
assets presently generating cash to fund its operating and capital requirements.

         Net cash used in operating activities was $2,083,281 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $571,024 compared to $2,654,305
used for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999. The decrease was the
result of the Company's efforts to reduce spending until the Company can raise
additional financing.

         For the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 the Company incurred
$543,226 on capital expenditures, a decrease of $3,043,742 from the capital
expenditures of $ 3,586,968 for the same period in 1999. The decrease was the
result of the Company's efforts to reduce engineering work for the Offshore
Shuttle until the Company can raise additional financing.

         On March 1, 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
ValorInvest Ltd., an investment company, pursuant to which ValorInvest agreed to
lend the Company an aggregate of up to $6,000,000. The loan agreement was
amended and restated as of December 31, 1999. The loan agreement provides that
advances shall be made in increments of $250,000 and shall not exceed $500,000
in any single month unless agreed to by ValorInvest. Any monies advanced under
the loan agreement shall bear interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum and shall
be due and payable on December 31, 2000; except that if the Company raises, in
the aggregate, in excess of $2,000,000 from equity or long term debt financing
after January 1, 2000, then the loan shall be repayable to the extent of 25% of
such excess. As of September 30, 2000, $2,550,000 had been advanced under this
loan agreement.

         In February 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with MFC
Merchant Bank S.A pursuant to which MFC agreed to lend the Company an aggregate
of up to $2,000,000, provided that advances shall not exceed $350,000 in any
single month. Any monies advanced under the loan agreement shall bear interest
at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum and shall be due and payable in full on
February 25, 2001. As of September 30, 2000, $900,000 had been advanced under
the loan agreement.

         In April 2000, the Company consummated a private placement of 450,000
shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $315,000.

         In June 2000, the Company the Company consummated a private placement
of 571,429 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $400,000.

         In July 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Holger
Timm pursuant to which Mr. Timm agreed to lend the Company an aggregate of up to
$1,500,000, provided that advances shall not exceed $500,000 in any single
month. Any monies advanced under the loan agreement shall bear interest at the
rate of 7.5% per annum and shall be due and payable in full on December 31,
2000. The advances may be converted at the option of the lender into the
Company's common stock at 80% of the five day average trading price of the
common stock prior to conversion, but not less than a floor price as calculated
pursuant to the loan agreement . As of September 30, 2000, $1,350,000 had been
advanced under the loan agreement.

                                      -12-

         The Company is seeking to obtain additional capital. In October 1998,
the Company entered into an engagement letter with MFC Merchant Bank S.A.
pursuant to which MFC shall act, on a best-efforts basis, as agent for the
Company in raising additional capital. As consideration for its services, MFC
shall receive a success fee equal to five percent of the capital raised plus DM
100,000 (approximately $54,000) per month until the completion or termination of
the MFC financing. In addition, all of MFC's out-of-pocket expenses shall be
reimbursed, and if the Company raises the necessary funds through another
source, MFC shall receive a break-up fee equal to the greater of $1,200,000 or
350,000 shares of common stock. In June 2000, MFC agreed to defer the monthly
fee obligation from May 1, 2000 through December 1, 2000 or until an equity
raise is completed, whichever comes first. In return for granting this deferral,
the deferred fees will be increased by 10%. This 10% premium may be paid with
shares of common stock.

         In September 1999, the Board of Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale
(WestLB) of Dusseldorf issued its conditional approval to underwrite a U.S.
$157.5 million loan facility for the first Offshore Shuttle. Based on such
approval, the Company has mandated WestLB to act as sole arranger and
underwriter for the financing. WestLB's commitment is subject to several
material conditions, including satisfactorily completing its due diligence, the
Company's obtaining European government guarantees to secure a significant
portion of the loan facility, and its completing of an additional equity
financing. The Company is seeking to fulfill these conditions.

         In February 2000, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with
the Italian Ministry of Industry and various other Italian governmental entities
with respect to the financing of the first Offshore Shuttle. The Memorandum of
Understanding provides for financial support from the various governmental
entities in the form of equity, debt and government guarantees, subject to
numerous material conditions, including the satisfactory completion of due
diligence, the submission by an Italian shipyard of a competitive construction
bid with terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, the arrangement of
sufficient commercial debt financing with a major bank, and the raising of
additional equity capital. In seeking to satisfy these conditions, it has become
evident to the Company that there is little likelihood of receiving a
competitive construction bid from a capable shipyard. As a result, the Company
has decided to discontinue its efforts regarding the Italian financing, focusing
instead on satisfying the conditions to the West LB financing.

         There can be no assurance that the conditions to the WestLB Financing
will be satisfied or, if satisfied, that the WestLB Financing will be
consummated on reasonable terms or at all. Although the Company believes that
the proceeds from the WestLB Financing, if completed, will enable the Company to
construct the first Offshore Shuttle, there can be no assurance in that regard.
Moreover, even if the WestLB is consummated, the Company's future capital
requirements could vary significantly and will depend on certain factors, many
of which are not within the Company's control. Such factors include

         o the need for cash to fund the construction of additional Offshore
           Shuttles;
         o greater than anticipated expenses; and
         o longer engineering, development, and construction times than now
           contemplated.

         If the Company is successful in completing the first Offshore Shuttle,
it believes it will be able to fund the construction of additional Offshore
Shuttles from its future operating cash flows and/or short or medium term debt
financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's beliefs will
prove to be accurate. If the Company is not able to raise a substantial amount
of additional capital, it may be required to significantly curtail or cease its
proposed activities.

International Operations

         The Company intends to market its services in international markets.
International operations entail various risks, including

         o political instability;
         o economic instability and recessions;
         o exposure to currency fluctuations;

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

        o difficulties of administering foreign operations generally;
        o reduced protection for intellectual property rights;
        o potentially adverse tax consequences; and
        o obligations to comply with a wide variety of foreign laws and other
          regulatory requirements.

New Accounting Pronouncement

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, which standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments. SFAS
133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The impact on the Company's financial statements has not been determined, but
the Company currently does not use derivatives to manage its exposure to foreign
exchange and interest rate risk. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 as of January
1, 2001.

         In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Borard issued
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation." This interpretation modifies the current practice of accounting
for certain stock award agreements and is generally effective beginning July 1,
2000. The initial impact of this interpretation on the Company's results of
operations and financial position will not be material.
