              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    Instant Video Technologies,  Inc. ("IVT" or the "Company") is an independent
    provider of  client/server  network  software  for the delivery of video and
    audio  information  over  networks.  IVT's  Burstware(R)  suite of  software
    products   enables   companies   to  transmit   video  and  audio  files  at
    faster-than-real-time  speed. The result is full-motion video and CD-quality
    audio to the end-user.  The Company's software incorporates its portfolio of
    patented intellectual property to achieve this result.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying  financial statements include the accounts of Instant Video
    Technologies,  Inc. and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Explore Technology,
    Inc.  and  Timeshift-TV.   All  significant  intercompany  transactions  and
    accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

    INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
    been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles
    for interim  financial  information and the  instructions  for Form 10-Q and
    Article 10 of  Regulation  S-X.  In the  Company's  opinion,  the  financial
    statements   include  all   adjustments,   consisting  of  normal  recurring
    adjustments,  which the  Company  considers  necessary  to fairly  state the
    Company's  financial  position and the results of operations and cash flows.
    The balance  sheet at December 31,  1998,  has been derived from the audited
    financial  statements at that date but does not include all of the necessary
    informational  disclosures  and footnotes as required by generally  accepted
    accounting principles.  The accompanying financial statements should be read
    in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with
    the Company's  1998 annual report on Form 10-KSB and other  documents  filed
    with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The results of the Company's
    operations  for any interim  period are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
    results of the Company's  operations  for any other interim  period or for a
    full fiscal year.

(2) NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted  average
    number  of  common  shares  outstanding.  Because  their  effects  would  be
    anti-dilutive,  stock options to acquire  4,037,626 and 4,171,213  shares at
    weighted  average prices of $2.71 and $2.65,  respectively,  and warrants to
    acquire  695,449 and 705,723  shares of common  stock at a weighted  average
    exercise  price of $1.60 for each period,  respectively,  have been excluded


<PAGE>


from the computation of diluted  earnings per share for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999.

(3) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    The Company has no component of comprehensive income other than its reported
    amounts of net loss applicable to holders of common stock.

(4) SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

    The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting
    Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
    Information". The Company operates in one segment.

(5) EQUITY

    Notes  convertible to the Company's common stock were issued in exchange for
    $2,970,000 in cash. Notes are due in one year and are convertible at a price
    which shall be the lower of (1) $6.50,  (2) 80% of the average closing price
    of the Company's  publicly traded shares in the 20 trading days  immediately
    preceding  the  closing of an ongoing  private  placement,  or (3) the price
    agreed in that  private  placement.  Interest  expense of $797,330  has been
    recorded for the beneficial conversion feature of these notes.

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    On August 3, 1999,  the  Company  acquired  Timeshift-TV,  Inc.  for 200,000
    shares of common stock in a stock only  transaction  from Richard Lang,  the
    Company's Chairman and CEO, Earl Mincer and Eric Walters,  who are employees
    of the Company.  Mr.  Walters is Mr. Lang's brother in law. Mr. Lang and the
    other  parties  were not  employed  by the  Company at the time they  formed
    Timeshift-TV.  The  Company's  board of directors  unanimously  approved the
    acquisition of  Timeshift-TV.  Timeshift-TV  assets consist of  intellectual
    property in the area of time-shifted real-time  broadcasting,  which we plan
    to integrate into our advanced video and audio delivery  solutions.  We also
    plan to license the Timeshift-TV  intellectual property to other parties for
    various applications.  The Company expensed $1,330,000 of purchased research
    and development costs in connection with this aquisition.

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    Subsequent  to  September  30, 1999,  the Company has  received  $600,000 in
    exchange for notes  payable  convertible  into the  Company's  common stock.
    Notes are due in one year and are  convertible at a price which shall be the
    lower of (1) $6.50,  (2) 80% of the average  closing  price of the Company's
    publicly  traded  shares in the 20 trading days  immediately  preceding  the
    closing of an ongoing  private  placement,  or (3) the price  agreed in that
    private placement.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

               SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain  information in this Report includes  forward-looking  statements within
the meaning of applicable  securities  laws that involve  substantial  risks and
uncertainties  including, but not limited to, market acceptance of the Company's
products and new technologies,  the sufficiency of financial resources available
to the Company,  economic,  competitive,  governmental and technological factors
affecting the Company's  operations,  markets,  services,  and prices, and other
factors  described in this Report and in prior filings with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those suggested or implied by any forward-looking statements as a result of such
risks. The Company's headquarters is located in San Francisco,  California, with
offices in six other domestic metropolitan areas.

The Company's  prospects must be considered and evaluated in light of the risks,
operating  and  capital  expenditures  required,  and  uncertainty  of  economic
conditions that may impact its customers.  Emerging  companies are characterized
by a high degree of market and  financial  risk and  investors  should take this
into account in their evaluation of financial results and future  prospects.  To
achieve and sustain profitability, the Company must successfully launch, market,
and  establish  its  software  products,  successfully  develop new products and
services,  meet the demands of its customers,  respond quickly to changes in its
markets,  attract and retain qualified employees,  and control expenses and cash
usage.

The Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results,
including its revenues,  cost of sales,  gross  margins,  expenses,  and capital
expenditures may not necessarily  provide  meaningful  results and should not be
relied upon as indications of future  performance.  The Company does not believe
that its historical growth rates are indicative of future growth or trends.

The Company has  incurred  significant  losses  since its  inception,  and as of
September 30, 1999, it had an accumulated  deficit of $33,556,457.  There can be
no  assurance  that the Company will  achieve or sustain  profitability  and the
Company believes that it will continue to incur net losses in 1999.

Results of Operations

Nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 vs. 1998

    The  Company  had no revenue or cost of revenue  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999  compared  with $15,000  revenue for the same period in 1998.
The  Company  released  the  commercial  version  of its  Burstware(R)  suite of
products this year, has signed  agreements with three resellers for distribution
of Burstware(R) and has shipped evaluation copies to potential customers.

    During the nine months  ended  September  30,  1999  expenses  increased  to
$8,279,320 as compared to $2,133,908  during the nine months ended September 30,
1998. This $6,145,412


<PAGE>

increase was a result of an overall  expansion in business  activity,  including
growth in the research and development,  sales and marketing departments as well
as a non-recurring charge to expense related to the acquisition of Timeshift-TV.

    The  $2,639,047,  or 591% increase in Research &  Development  expenditures,
resulted from the ramp-up in preparation for the initial  commercial release and
development and testing of enhanced features planned for subsequent  releases of
the  product  as well as  $1,330,000  of  in-process  research  and  development
acquired from Timeshift-TV which was charged to expense.  The Quality  Assurance
and Release Management  Department was established in 1999 to support subsequent
releases  of  Burstware  products.  Personnel  were added to  develop,  test and
complete  documentation of the product releases.  Major  development  activities
began and continued to expand in the areas of player scripting, incorporation of
a database  for  replication,  and  various  other  features  to be  included in
subsequent releases.

    The  $2,399,786 or 628% increase in Sales & Marketing was primarily a result
of the  commercial  release of the Company's  Burstware(R)  product  suite.  The
Company  has added  marketing  staff and has  engaged  in a  targeted  marketing
campaign  including print,  radio and billboard  advertising,  public relations,
collateral development,  and participation in a number of major trade shows. The
Company  believes that these  promotional  activities  will allow the Company to
reach specific vertical markets cost-effectively,  to support the efforts of the
direct sales force, and to generate publicity for the Company as a whole.

    The  program's  objectives  are to build brand  awareness,  facilitate  name
recognition,  educate the market, generate sales leads and develop relationships
with technology partners,  systems integrators and resellers. These expenditures
will  continue  as part of an  overall  plan to build  upon and expand the brand
awareness the Company has created in the marketplace.

    Sales  expenditures  have  increased  as a result  of the  expansion  of the
Company's sales force in conjunction with the launch of the  Burstware(R)  suite
of products.  The company  currently  has sales  offices in Virginia,  Colorado,
Michigan, New York metropolitan area and Florida. The Company has also partnered
with The EMS Group, Ltd to develop sales and marketing channels in Europe.

    The  Company  incurred  a  $1,106,579,   or  85%  increase  in  General  and
Administrative  Expense which resulted from additional personnel,  equipment and
facilities costs to support the increased operations.

    The Company had a net loss from  operations  of  $8,279,320  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $2,118,908, a 291% increase over
the same nine months in 1998.  The  increased  loss  resulted from the increased
expenditures  discussed above. Net other expenses were $817,372,  as compared to
$1,153,399  net other  expense for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and
1998,  respectively.  This $336,027 decrease was principally due to the decrease
in interest expense associated with debt converted to equity or that was retired
at the end of 1998.

Quarters ended September 30, 1999 vs. 1998

<PAGE>

    The Company  had no revenue or cost of revenue  for either the three  months
ended  September  30, 1999 or  September  30,  1998.  The Company  released  the
commercial  version of its  Burstware(R)  suite of products  this year,  and has
shipped evaluation copies to potential customers. Three reseller agreements were
signed  in  1999  and  these   resellers  have  now  engaged  in  marketing  the
Burstware(R) product suite.

    Costs and expenses during the three months ended September 30, 1999, totaled
$4,090,618 as compared to $824,732  during the three months ended  September 30,
1998. The increased costs were primarily related to a one-time charge related to
the acquisition of Timeshift-TV, increased personnel, as well as expanded market
promotion activities.  The $3,265,886 increase was due to a $1,960,447,  or 998%
increase in Research &  Development  expenditures,  including a write-off of the
$1,330,000 of in-process research and development  acquired from Timeshift-TV; a
$1,005,101 or 481% increase in Sales & Marketing,  as well as a $300,338, or 72%
increase in General and Administrative Expense.

    The Company had a net loss from  operations of  $4,090,618  during the three
months ended  September 30, 1999, as compared to $824,732,  a 396% increase over
the same three months in 1998.  The  increased  loss resulted from the increased
expenditures  discussed  above.  Net other expense was $838,272,  as compared to
$582,352 net other  expense for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 and
1998,  respectively.  This $255,920 increase was principally due to the increase
in interest expense associated with issuance of convertible debt with beneficial
conversion features during 1999.

Changes in Financial Condition

    As of September 30, 1999,  the Company had a working  capital  deficiency of
$3,078,830  as compared to working  capital of  $2,591,930 at December 31, 1998.
This $5,670,760 decrease was due to a $2,375,823  reduction in cash used to fund
operations, and an increase in current liabilities of $3,294,937.  These uses of
current  assets  were  partially  offset  by the  $1,537,500  proceeds  from the
exercise of warrants to purchase  the  Company's  common  stock and the $810,000
collection  of a  receivable  relating to the  exercise  of warrants  related to
Series B Preferred Stock.

    Net cash used in operating  activities  totaled  $6,310,795  during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1999,  as compared to net cash used in  operating
activities of $1,587,572  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1998. This
increase was due to the  expansion of operations  and increases in  expenditures
discussed above.

    Net cash used in investing  activities  during the  nine-month  period ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $560,266 as compared to $71,317 during the nine-month
period ended  September  30, 1998.  The increase was primarily  attributable  to
purchases of computer equipment and software used in development activities;  to
expand the network  infrastructure  and provide required personal  computers for
new employees.

    Cash flow  provided by financing  activities  during the  nine-month  period
ended September 30, 1999 totaled $5,307,314 as compared to $1,724,653 during the
same period in 1998. The increase resulted from issuance of convertible notes in
the amount of $2,970,000 to fund


<PAGE>

operations  during  1999.  The  Company  retired a $22,736  note during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999,  while it retired  $585,347 in debt during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.

    Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company received  $600,000 in exchange
for notes payable convertible to the Company's common stock. These notes are due
on October 26, 2000 and November  10, 2000,  but are expected to be converted to
common stock prior to that maturity date.

Liquidity

IVT received a "going concern"  opinion from its  independent  auditors in 1998.
Although  the Company has been  successful  in its  fundraising  efforts to meet
prior operating requirements,  and is currently engaged in negotiations relating
to  additional  funding,  there can be no  guarantee  that the  Company  will be
successful in these or future  fundraising  efforts.  At the time of this report
IVT had  insufficient  cash reserves and  receivables  necessary to meet current
operating requirements.  In the event the Company were to be unsuccessful in its
fundraising,  it would be required to significantly reduce cash outflows through
the reduction or elimination of marketing and sales,  development,  capital, and
administrative   expenditures  resulting  in  decreased  potential  revenue  and
potential cessation of operations.

Year 2000 Issues

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits  rather than four to define the  application  year.  Programs or products
that have  time-sensitive  software may  recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. In addition, the year 2000 is a leap year, which
may also lead to  incorrect  calculations,  functions or systems  failure.  As a
result, this year, computer systems and software used by many companies may need
to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements.  In 1998, the Company
began a project to determine if any actions were required regarding date-related
effects to: (i) the Company's  software  products;  (ii) the Company's  internal
operating and desktop computer systems and  non-information  technology systems;
and (iii) the  readiness  of the  Company's  third-party  vendors  and  business
partners.

The Company has formed a team consisting of operations,  development, marketing,
and finance  members to determine the impact of Year 2000 and to take corrective
action.  As of February 1999, the Company had completed  testing of its suite of
Burstware(R)  software  products  and has found no known Year 2000  issues.  The
Company has also tested its internal operating and desktop hardware and software
and has found that all its software is Year 2000  compliant  and appears to have
no known Year 2000 issues.  The Company has also confirmed with its  third-party
vendors and business  partners to ensure that their  software and hardware  will
not impact IVT operations. At this time, the Company knows of no known Year 2000
issues or problems with its vendors, or business partners.

The majority of the costs associated with this project is not incremental to the
Company,  but  represents  a  reallocation  of existing  resources.  The Company
believes that modifications  deemed necessary will be made on a timely basis and
does not believe that the cost of such modifications


<PAGE>

will have a material  effect on the Company's  operating  results.  To date, the
Company's costs related to the year 2000 issues have not been material,  and the
Company does not expect the aggregate  amount spent on the year 2000 issue to be
material. In addition,  the Company is in the process of evaluating the need for
contingency plans with respect to year 2000  requirements.  The necessity of any
contingency  plan  must be  evaluated  on a  case-by-case  basis  and  may  vary
considerably in nature depending on the year 2000 issue it may address.

The Company's  expectations  as to the extent and  timeliness  of  modifications
required in order to achieve year 2000 compliance is a forward-looking statement
subject to risks and  uncertainties.  Actual  results may vary  materially  as a
result of a number of factors, including, among others, those described above in
this  section.  There can be no assurance  that  unexpected  delays or problems,
including  the  failure to ensure  year 2000  compliance  by systems or products
supplied to the Company by third parties, will not have an adverse effect on the
Company, its financial performance and results of operations.  In addition,  the
Company  cannot  predict the effect of the year 2000 issues on its  customers or
other third party business partners or the resulting effect on the Company. As a
result, if such third parties do not take preventative and/or corrective actions
in a timely  manner,  the year 2000 issue could have an adverse  effect on their
operations  and  accordingly  have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
business,  financial  condition  and  results of  operations.  Furthermore,  the
Company's  current  understanding  of expected costs is subject to change as the
project  progresses  and does not  include  the cost of  internal  software  and
hardware replaced in the normal course of business whose installation  otherwise
may be accelerated to provide solutions to year 2000 compliance issues.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The  Company's  exposure  to  market  risk  is  minimal  as the  Company  has no
investments in the market.
