ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

(a) On June 29, 1999 (the "CLOSING DATE"), pursuant to the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, by and between Spatial Technology Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY") and Sven Technologies, Inc., a California
corporation ("SVEN") (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), the Company acquired from Sven
certain of the assets and liabilities of Sven, in consideration for the issuance
of 96,931 shares (the "SHARES") of the Company's Common Stock and $500,000 cash
(the "CASH CONSIDERATION") (the "ACQUISITION"). The purchase price was
determined through negotiations between the Company and Sven.

         In connection with the Acquisition, the parties to the Purchase
Agreement also executed an Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which ten percent (10%)
of the Shares, ten percent (10%) of the Cash Consideration, 96,930 shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "EARN-OUT SHARES") and a warrant to purchase 250,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.50 per share
(the "WARRANT") will be held in escrow for the purpose of securing the
indemnification obligations of Sven pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant
to the Escrow Agreement, the escrowed Shares and the escrowed Cash Consideration
will be released to Sven on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date. In
addition, the Earn-out Shares and the Warrant will be released to Sven upon the
attainment of certain objectives relating to the recognition of revenue from the
sale of products acquired from Sven.

         The forward looking statements contained herein involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those
