operations (unaudited) of the Company, and the above acquisitions as though the
acquisitions had been consummated at October 1, 1998. The pro forma amounts give
effect to the appropriate adjustments for the fair value of assets acquired and
amortization of goodwill, depreciation and debt incurred and resulting interest
expense.

5.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On May 4, 2000, the Company's CEO and Chairman, resigned from both
positions. As a result of certain severance arrangements and repurchase of stock
options to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock in connection
with his resignation, the Company expects to incur a charge to earnings in the
third fiscal quarter of approximately $990,000. As part of the resignation
arrangement, the Company will make certain of these payments in varying amounts
over a two-year period.

         On May 5, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter
of intent to acquire Advanced Visual Systems Inc. ("AVS"), a company in the
business of data visualization, through a stock-for-stock exchange. Pursuant to
the letter of intent, the Company will issue a maximum of 2.1 million shares of
common stock in exchange for all the common and preferred shares of AVS, a
maximum of 1.3 million employee stock options and the assumption of
approximately $2 million in debt. It is anticipated that the acquisition will be
completed during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter. The acquisition is subject
to a number of conditions and there can be no assurance that it will be
successfully consummated.

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 consolidated 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 15 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 for a discussion of these risks and
uncertainties.

Operational Overview

         The Company receives revenues from sales and licensing of its products
and providing consulting and maintenance services related thereto and from its
Strategic Reselling Partner ("SRP") program.

         The Company's primary strategy is to enter into SRP arrangements in
multiple markets. As a result of 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 up front fees and sales commitments
associated therewith. Accordingly, results in any one quarter are not indicative
of results to be expected in subsequent quarters. The SRP program as such is
requiring a greater than anticipated sales cycle and therefore, sales
attributable to SRP participants for the period ending March 31, 2000 are not
significant.

         The Company attributes the majority of the increases in revenues for
the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 to the full integration into the
Company of the business of Virtual Presence, Ltd., a UK company ("Virtual
Presence"). On November 16, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of
Virtual Presence, a provider of interactive visualization solutions for
companies in the European defense, medical and manufacturing industries. The
Company acquired Virtual Presence for a total of $300,000 in cash at the
closing, $300,000 in notes payable over a nine month period and 430,839 shares
of the Company's common stock, subject to certain restrictions. Of such shares,
205,522 are subject to adjustment in the event that the price of the Company's
common stock over the twenty days prior to November 15, 2000 is less than $4.41
per share. In connection with the acquisition of Virtual Presence, the Company
expects to enhance its capabilities in providing interactive visualization
solutions and to broaden its market penetration abroad.

         In July 1999, the Company formed MUSE Federal Systems Group, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary that will provide software and consulting services
exclusively to federal agencies and government contractors. MUSE Federal will
support existing government accounts of the Company, which include NASA Langley,
Kennedy Space Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA Ames Research Center,
Stennis Space Flight Center and various projects for the U.S. Navy. Through
direct sales efforts and a growing network of Strategic Reselling Partners
(which includes Federal Data Corporation, Intergraph and Analytic Mechanics
Associates), the new company plans to broaden its federal customer base and
develop special capabilities and services that are designed to meet the unique
requirements of the governmental agencies. MUSE Federal received all requisite
government approvals to operate as a government contractor during the second
fiscal quarter.

         On March 17, 2000, the Company acquired Simulation Solutions, Ltd., a
UK company ("Simulation Solutions"), an advanced software and consulting firm
specializing in manufacturing simulation for plant and equipment. The Company
acquired Simulation Solutions for a total of $117,333 in cash and 44,895 shares
of the Company's common stock. Simulation Solutions will be incorporated into
the Company's existing European operation and continue providing visual
prototyping and simulation-based design and process development to


                                        9

<PAGE>



organizations such as British Aerospace, Vickers Defense and the Defence
Evaluation Research Agency. Plans call for these services to also be offered to
U.S. companies and for the integration of the MuSE Software Development
Environment 2000(TM)into future projects.

         On March 28, 2000, the Company purchased the VRsource.com, a prominent
e-commerce site for advanced visualization and virtual reality hardware, from
the VRsource, Inc., a Colorado corporation, for $400,000 in cash. The
VRsource.com markets high performance peripheral devices from manufacturers
including Polhemus, Ascension, FakeSpace, Virtual Technologies, Sony and Virtual
Research Corporation. Customers of the site include Disney, Industrial Light &
Magic, Boeing, Lockheed, Ericsson, IT&T, MIT, Rockwell and NASA, as well as
other leading corporations, government agencies and educational institutions.

         Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, on May 5, 2000, the
Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire
Advanced Visual Systems, Inc. ("AVS"), an international leader in the field of
data visualization, through a stock-for-stock exchange. The acquisition, upon
completion, would create one of the world's largest companies dedicated to
developing and integrating software and solutions using 3D graphics technology,
with over 12,000 users worldwide and 15 international offices on six continents.
Pursuant to the letter of intent, the Company will issue a maximum of 2.1
million shares of common stock in exchange for all the common and preferred
shares of AVS, a maximum of 1.3 million employee stock options and the
assumption of approximately $2 million in debt. It is anticipated that the
acquisition will be completed during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter. The
acquisition is subject to a number of conditions and there can be no assurance
that it will be successfully consummated.

         On May 4, 2000, Curtiz J. Gangi, the Company's CEO and Chairman,
resigned from both positions. As a result of certain severance arrangements and
repurchase of stock options to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company's common
stock in connection with his resignation, the Company expects to incur a charge
to earnings in the third fiscal quarter of approximately $990,000. As part of
the resignation arrangement, the Company will make certain of these payments in
varying amounts over a two-year period. Brian R. Clark will continue as
President and CFO of the Company and will chair the newly established Office of
the President, which will act as an executive committee responsible for the
operations of the Company and will include four of the Company's executive
officers.

Results of Operations

         Revenues for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2000 were
$3,308,976 and $5,050,369, respectively, compared to revenues of $496,136 and
$771,340 for the three and six month period ending March 31, 1999, respectively.
The increases of 568% and 554% for the three and six month periods compared to
the same periods last year are due primarily to the acquisition of Virtual
Presence, which accounted for the majority of revenues for the quarter and six
month period of fiscal 2000, together with increases in product and contract
sales during the fiscal 2000 periods. Revenues for the three and six month
periods ending March 31, 1999 have been reclassified to segregate product and
contract revenue from interest income of $219,858 and $342,535, respectively.

         Total operating expenses for the three and six month periods ending
March 31, 200 were $3,699,059 and $5,438,313, respectively, as compared to total
operating expenses of $1,550,117 and $2,867,335 for the three and six month
periods ending March 31, 1999, respectively. The increase of $2,148,942 or 139%
for the three month period and $2,570,979 or 90% for the six month period of
fiscal 2000 is reflective of the additional costs associated with the
consolidation of expenses of Virtual Presence and Simulation Solutions offset in
part by software development costs related to products that have attained
technological feasibility and therefore are required to be capitalized. During
the three and six month periods ending March 31, 1999, software development
costs have been expensed. The net capitalized value of software production costs
at March 31, 2000 was $2,273,435. The increased costs, both capitalized and
expensed, represent the continued effort to develop a technical staff to meet
the growing demands of customers as well as the additional costs related to the
Virtual Presence and Simulation Solutions staff. Cost of products sold of
$1,491,009 and $1,881,409 for the three and six month periods ending March 31,
2000, respectively, reflects the cost of hardware and related products sold by
Virtual Presence. Cost of product sold of the corresponding periods in the prior
year were immaterial. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$788,721 or 77% and $816,476 or 44% for the three and six month


                                       10

<PAGE>


periods ending March 31, 2000, respectively, compared to the same periods ending
March 31, 1999. The increase in expenses is primarily due to the consolidation
of Virtual Presence and Simulation Solutions.

         Net other income for the three and six month period ending March 31,
2000 of $413,320 and $626,239, respectively, reflect an increase of $757,067 and
$847,309 compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in
income is reflective of higher interest income over the prior years as well as
the non-recurring expense incurred in the period ending March 31, 1999 for costs
in excess of value of repurchased stock.

         Accordingly, the net income for the three and six month period ended
March 31, 2000 of $23,237 and $238,295, respectively, compared to the net loss
of ($1,398,728) and ($2,317,065) for the same periods in fiscal 1999, reflect
the significant impact of the Virtual Presence and Simulation Solutions
acquisitions not only with respect to revenues generated, but also increased
operating costs of the combined operations and significant increases in product
and services revenues from the Company's core products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Historically, the Company's capital needs have been funded through a
series of debt and equity financings and revenues received through the SRP
program. During fiscal 2000, direct sales generated revenues have funded the
Company's capital needs.

         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
$9,200,000.

         On November 16, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Virtual
Presence for a total of $300,000 in cash at the closing, $300,000 in notes
payable over a nine month period and 430,839 shares of the Company's common
stock, subject to certain restrictions. Of such shares, 205,522 are subject to
adjustment in the event that the average price of the Company's common stock
over the twenty day period prior to November 15, 2000 is less than $4.41 per
share. On March 17, 2000, the Company acquired Simulation Solutions for $117,333
in cash and 44,895 shares of the Company's common stock. On March 28, 2000, the
Company acquired the VRsource.com for $400,000 in cash.

         The Company estimated that it will expend approximately $750,000 for
the purchase of computer hardware and software during fiscal 2000 primarily in
connection with the establishment of MUSE Federal and upgrade and expansion of
capabilities at Virtual Presence. To date $475,000 of such capital expenditures
have been made.

         For the six months ended March 31, 2000, there was a net decrease in
cash of $5,545,334 as compared to a net increase in cash of $12,134,747 for the
six month period ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in cash is primarily
attributable to the acquisition of subsidiaries for $1,070,348, increases in
accounts receivable of $2,247,901 and increase in other assets of $2,298,513.
For the six month period ended March 31, 1999, the increase in cash was
primarily attributable to the receipt of proceeds from the Company's IPO,
collection of a stock subscription receivable and collection of accounts
receivable associated with an SRP agreement.

         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 and distribution 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 current
cash and funds generated from operations, including its Virtual Presence
subsidiary, and payments and royalties under the Company's various SRP
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 15 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB

for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. 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 assurances that additional
financing will be available or that terms of any financing will be acceptable to
the Company.

         The Company continually explores strategic, joint venture and
acquisition opportunities both in the United States and abroad. From time to
time, the Company may be involved in negotiations for SRP arrangements, other
strategic relationships, joint ventures, financing arrangements or possible
acquisitions, however, current negotiations, if any, are too preliminary to
warrant disclosure at this time. The Company will keep investors informed as
such negotiations mature.

Year 2000 Compliance

         As of the date of this filing, the Company has experienced no adverse
effects from the "year 2000 problem" with respect to any of its computer
hardware or software systems or any of its products and has not expended
material funds in connection therewith.
