                       CorVu Corporation and Subsidiaries

    Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Month
                   Periods Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


(1)      Unaudited Financial Statements

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CorVu
         Corporation and Subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company in
         accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
         States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information
         and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements
         have been condensed or omitted. The results for the periods indicated
         are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
         recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary for a fair
         presentation of operating results.

(2)      Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

         On January 14, 2000, the Company completed a reverse merger transaction
         with Minnesota American, Inc. (MNAC). The merger resulted in
         shareholders of the Company and MNAC owning approximately 74 percent
         and 26 percent, respectively of the outstanding shares of the combined
         entity. The shares of MNAC were quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
         Board (OTCBB) of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).
         The combined entity changed its name to CorVu Corporation and continues
         CorVu's business operations. In addition, the Company received $950,000
         in cash from Minnesota American, Inc.

(3)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a) Revenue Recognition

         Software license revenue is recognized when all of the following
         criteria have been met: there is an executed license agreement,
         software has been delivered to the customer, the license fee is fixed
         and payable within twelve months, collection is deemed probable and
         product returns are reasonably estimable. Revenues related to multiple
         element arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement
         based on the fair values of elements such as license fees, maintenance,
         and professional services. Fair value is determined based on vendor
         specific objective evidence. Maintenance revenues are recognized
         ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically 12 to 36
         months. Consulting and other revenues are recognized when services are
         performed.

         Deferred revenue represents payment received or amounts billed in
         advance of services to be performed. Billing occurs within 30 days of
         scheduled performance of services.

(b)      Stockholders' Deficit

         Equity accounts have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of shares
         in connection with the reverse merger with Minnesota American, Inc.
         using a conversion rate of 1.125 to 1. This conversion has also been
         reflected in the calculation of weighted average shares and resulting
         net loss per share for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000
         and 1999.

     (c) Net Loss per Common Share

         Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
         Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
         assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants. The

<PAGE>

         dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the
         average market price of the Company's stock during each period under
         the treasury stock method. In periods where losses have occurred,
         options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive and thus have not
         been included in the diluted loss per common share calculations.

     (d) Reclassifications

         Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
         presentation.

(4)      Comprehensive Income

         Comprehensive income and its components, including all changes in
         equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
         owners or distributions to owners are as follows:

(5)      Liquidity

         The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are prepared
         assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the year
         ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred an operating loss of
         $8,146,221 and used $3,868,637 of cash in operating activities.
         Subsequently, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the
         Company incurred an operating loss of $2,252,588. As of September 30,
         2000, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,613,233, total
         stockholders' deficit of $5,721,477, and negative working capital of
         $5,871,521. In addition, as of November 14, 2000, due to inadequate
         funds, the Company has not paid the outstanding principal on the note
         payable discussed in Note 6, that was due on December 16, 1999 or the
         outstanding principal on director advances discussed in Note 7 and, has
         not remitted approximately $800,000 of employee and employer payroll
         taxes.

         Going forward the Company must raise additional cash either through
         raising additional capital or through profits from operations. During
         the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company raised capital of $4,754,393.

         Management anticipates that the impact of the actions listed below will
         generate sufficient cash flows to pay past due debts and fund the
         Company's future operations.

              1. Continue to increase the Company's revenues from software
                 licenses and other revenue sources.

              2. Increase the level of indebtedness.

              3. Solicit additional equity investment in the Company.

              4. Reduce operating costs, as deemed necessary, in the event the
                 sales of product licenses and/or additional equity or debt
                 financing do not generate adequate proceeds.


<PAGE>

(6)      Note Payable

         In February 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement in the
         amount of approximately $927,000 with a third party lender. During
         fiscal 1999, the Company borrowed an additional $480,000. The note is
         secured by the assets of the Company. The interest rate on the
         outstanding principal balance is based on an index defined in the loan
         agreement plus 3%, with interest due monthly. On September 30, 2000 and
         June 30, 2000 the interest rates were 6.34% and 6.28%, respectively.
         The outstanding principal balance became due on December 15, 1999.
         During fiscal 2000, the Company made principal payments totaling
         approximately $808,000. The outstanding balance of approximately
         $546,000 remains unpaid and the Company continues discussions with the
         lender regarding repayment of the remaining balance.

(7)      Director Advances

         The Company has received interest-bearing and non-interest bearing
         advances from certain directors of the Company. Interest rates on
         interest-bearing advances vary from 5.0% to 11.5% as of September 30,
         2000. These amounts are classified as current liabilities as the
         Company anticipates paying the amounts during the year ending June
         30, 2001.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2000 and
         1999

REVENUES:

Total revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 decreased
$513,171 (17%) compared to the same period a year ago.

Software and license fee revenues decreased $831,257 (48%) from $1,740,720 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 to $909,463 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000. CorVu's management believes several factors are
responsible for this. CorVu continues to refine its sales and marketing
strategy, in order to become a seller of comprehensive business software
offerings. This change in strategy required a retooling and retraining of the
current salesforce and has resulted in extended sales cycles. In addition,
included in the revenue figure for the three-month period ended September 30,
1999 was a significant sale to a European partner in the amount of approximately
$400,000 that was not repeated again in the current fiscal quarter.

Maintenance, consulting and other revenues increased by $318,086 (26%), from
$1,219,680 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 to $1,537,766 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000. This was due to the employment
of additional service professionals to meet the demands of the increased
customer base for both consulting and training services. In addition, annual
maintenance fees continued to increase in line with the increased customer base.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

Operating expenses increased by $631,321 (16%) for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, from the same period last year.

Cost of maintenance, consulting and other expenses increased $308,487 (52%) and
product development costs increased $64,263 (28%) for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000, from the same period last year. These increases were
primarily caused by the employment of additional professionals in both the
consulting and training services, as well as in the research and development
area.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $105,758 (6%) for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000, from the same period last year, due to the higher
number of employees working in that sector and other factors such as higher
expenditures for marketing including advertising, production of new marketing
materials to support the change in the sales and marketing strategy, and
participation in trade show activities.

General and administrative expenses increased $152,813 (10%) for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000, from the same period last year. This increase
was caused by increased professional service fees such as legal, accounting and
other services associated with being a publicly-held company.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET:

Interest expense, net decreased $26,458 (48%) for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, compared to the same period last year. This was due to the
balance on the note payable, which decreased from $1,365,000 as of September 30,
1999 to $546,000 as of September 30, 2000.


<PAGE>

NET LOSSES:

CorVu incurred net losses of $2,281,242 and $1,163,208 for the three-month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $24,353 during the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 from $46,745 as of June 30, 2000 to $71,098 as
of September 30, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $11,701 for
the period ended September 30, 2000. This was caused by the collection of
accounts receivable balances existing as of June 30, 2000. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $12,180 for the period ended September 30, 2000.
Proceeds from the sale of common stock were $7,500, representing the exercise of
employee stock options. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000,
the Company received borrowings from a director of $54,680 and repaid director
loans in the amount of $50,000.

CorVu's management intends to undertake one or several of the following
activities: (1) continue to increase CorVu's revenues from software licenses and
other revenue sources; (2) increase the level of indebtedness; (3) solicit
additional equity investment in the Company; (4) reduce operating costs, as
deemed necessary, in the event the sales of product licenses and / or additional
equity or debt financing do not generate adequate proceeds. Since June 2000,
CorVu has reduced operating expenses to bring them in line with current revenues
by closing non-strategic offices and by a general workforce reduction. CorVu's
management believes that these activities will generate sufficient cash flows to
sustain CorVu's operations for the foreseeable future.
