BUSINESS OF ISSUER

(i) Our Principal Products and Services

CorVu is a provider of Enterprise Performance Management software
products.

Enterprise performance management is a process by which an organization
seeks to define its strategy, measure and analyze its performance, and
ultimately manage improvements to enhance performance. In recent years several
methodologies have arisen for managing organizational performance; each
methodology represents an approach to measuring an organization's performance
against strategic goals and specific performance targets. While the Balanced
Scorecard has emerged as the premier performance management methodology, others
are certainly valid. Our customers use our products to implement one or more
performance management methodologies. Some have found it beneficial to employ
the Balanced Scorecard methodology, as well as other methodologies, including
Management by Exception, Total Quality Management, Six Sigma, ISO Certification,
Malcolm Baldrige Award for Quality, President's Award for Quality, and Value
Based Management. To our knowledge, none of the methodologies supported by CorVu
products are protected under intellectual property law.

We generate revenues in three areas: (1) sale and licensing of our
software products; (2) consulting and training services (we refer to these
services as "professional services"); and (3) maintenance agreements entered
into in connection with the sale and licensing of our products.
 

 CorVu software products are designed to enable our customers to better
measure and analyze their information, in order to achieve strategic objectives
and improve business performance. CorVu is currently shipping Version 4.2 of our
products to all eligible customers, which includes the 4.2 versions of CorBusiness(TM),

CorStrategy(TM), CorPortfolio(TM) andHyperVu(TM). Customers who have licensed previous

versions of these products and who have active maintenance agreements receive these 4.2

versions at no additional charge, as well as the forthcoming version 4.3.

Services

In an effort to assist clients in implementing Enterprise Performance
Management software, we have developed the RapidROI Program consisting of
consulting, installation, implementation, and training services. The program is
designed to facilitate the implementation and use of our products in the
organizations of our customers, thus establishing long-term relationships. In
the RapidROI program, CorVu consultants work with customers through a
step-by-step process, confirming customer satisfaction at each stage prior to
moving on.
