A new approach to predicting economic situation of enterprises using the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methodology has been presented by J. Andreasik. The approach based on the original enterprise ontology concentrates on enterprise assessments in the range of potential and risk. The aggregation of assessments leads to determining the enterprise position in five potential-risk spaces. The aim of the paper is to present the explanation process of enterprise economic situation assessments in potential-risk spaces. The explanation process consists of two stages. In the first stage, in each potential-risk space, cases (enterprise positions) are grouped into clusters. In the second stage, in each potential-risk space, some rules determining dependencies between enterprise assessments made by experts and belongingness of the enterprise to a given cluster are extracted. To carry out clustering and rule mining, standard methods of data mining and knowledge discovery have been used. Experiments have been made using information on above 200 enterprises in the SME sector from south-east Poland collected within the confines of the EQUAL Project No. F0086 conducted by College of Management and Public Administration in Zamość.
