ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
OYO Geospace Corporation and Subsidiaries

        We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OYO
Geospace Corporation and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998, the related
consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended
March 31, 1998, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months
ended March 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

        We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on
such financial statements.

        Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the aforementioned financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have not reviewed
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three months and
six months ended March 31, 1997 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the six months ended March 31, 1997. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion
or any form of assurance on such financial statements.

        We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and, in
our report dated November 3, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

                       OYO GEOSPACE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The consolidated balance sheet of OYO Geospace Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") at September 30, 1997 has been condensed from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1998, the consolidated statements of
operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the
three months and six months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-36727) as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 1997.

2.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

   In November 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of its common stock by selling 2,300,000 common shares, including
1,150,000 common shares owned by its parent, OYO Corporation U.S.A. ("OYO
U.S.A."). After deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, the net
proceeds from the Offering were $29.3 million, which were split equally between
the Company and OYO U.S.A. Immediately following the Offering, OYO U.S.A. held
approximately 55% of the outstanding stock of the Company.

3.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

   Effective October 1, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the computation of earnings per share by replacing the primary
and fully diluted presentations with the new basic and diluted presentations.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available for
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income
available for common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding for the period All prior period earnings per share amounts have been
restated to conform with SFAS No. 128.

5.   ACQUISITION

    On February 3, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of JRC/Concord Technologies, Inc. ("Concord") as well as certain
intellectual property related to the business of Concord from Jimmy R. Cole, Jr.
for a purchase price of $6.3 million, consisting, after adjustments, of a cash
payment of $3.5 million and the issuance of 159,120 shares of the Company's
common stock valued at approximately $2.8 million. The purchase price was
determined through arm's-length negotiations with Mr. Cole, who had no prior
relationship to the Company or any of its affiliates or directors, officers or
associates thereof. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with a
portion of the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering. Concord,
located in Houston, Texas, designs and manufactures equipment used in connection
with deepwater marine seismic surveys. The Company will continue the business of
Concord, including the continued devotion of its plant and other assets to its
business. Mr. Cole continues to serve as the president of Concord.

    The allocation of the total purchase price, including related expenses, for
Concord based on the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, at the
date of acquisition, is as follows:

        Net tangible assets                               $2,805
        Intangible assets                                  3,495
                                                          -------

          Total purchase price allocation                 $6,300
                                                          =======

6.   SUPPLEMENTAL NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

    During the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Company increased its
additional paid-in capital by approximately $1.9 million and recorded a
corresponding increase in unearned compensation representing the issuance of
restrictive stock awards to employees which vest ratably over four years.

    Components of cash used for the acquisition of Concord and intellectual
property related to the business of Concord, as reflected in the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 1998 are as follows
(in thousands):

        Fair value of current assets, net of cash acquired        $2,140
        Fair value of noncurrent assets                            1,762

FISCAL YEAR 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1997.

   Sales for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1998 increased $8.6
million, or 82.7% and $13.6 million or 75.3%, from the corresponding periods of
the prior year. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to increased
demand for the Company's products and sales generated from Concord Technologies,
Inc. ("Concord"), which the Company acquired on February 3, 1998.

   Cost of sales for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1998
increased $4.4 million, or 70.2% and $7.6 million or 71.6%, from the
corresponding periods of the prior year. Cost of sales decreased as a percentage
of total sales to 55.6% and 57.4%in the three months and six months ended March
31, 1998 from 59.7% and 58.6% in the corresponding periods of the prior year.
This percentage decrease was the result of increased sales of products
containing lower manufacturing costs and from the sale of products by Concord,
which have higher gross profit margins.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months and six
months ended May 31, 1998 increased $1.3 million, or 70.2% and $2.1 million or
57.9%, from the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase is
primarily attributable to higher sales and the acquisition of Concord. Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of total sales to
16.7% and 18.5% in the three months and six months ended March 31, 1998 from
17.9% and 20.5% in the corresponding period of the prior year, principally
reflecting the impact of high sales volume and the leveraging of certain fixed
expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months and six months
ended March 31, 1998 increased $0.5 million, or 97.0%, and $0.8 million or
72.1%, from the corresponding period of the prior year. Research and development
expenses increased as a percentage of total sales to 6.1% in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from 5.7% in the corresponding period of the prior year,
principally resulting from the increase in research and development expenditures
targeted at new product development. Research and development expenses decreased
as a percentage of total sales to 6.4% in the six months ended March 31, 1998
from 6.5% in the corresponding period of the prior year, principally resulting
from the leveraging of such expenses over the increase in sales.


                                       10
<PAGE>
   Other income (expense), net increased as a percentage of total sales to 1.2%
and 1.0% in the three months and six months ended March 31, 1998 from 0.1% and
(0.1)% in the corresponding periods of the prior year. This increase was
primarily attributable to interest income earned on proceeds from the Company's
initial public offering (the "Offering") and a decrease in interest expense as a
result of the Company using a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to
repay outstanding indebtedness.

   The Company's effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended
March 31, 1998 was 36.5% and 36.9% compared to 37.7% in each of the
corresponding periods of the prior year. The decrease in the Company's effective
tax rate is principally the result of the implementation of certain tax
strategies designed to reduce the Company's domestic and foreign income tax
expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   At March 31, 1998, the Company had $7.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
For the six months ended March 31, 1998, cash generated from operating
activities was $0.1 million principally resulting from net income and an
increase in accounts payable offset by increases in accounts receivable and
inventory. The increases in the Company's working capital accounts are a result
of continued growth in the demand for the Company's products.

   For the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Company used approximately $7.4
million in investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures of $5.4
million and a business acquisition of approximately $2.1 million, net of cash
acquired. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures in fiscal 1998
will be $11.0 million, including $3.0 million for the construction of an
additional manufacturing facility, approximately $4.4 million to purchase an
additional facility and equipment to diversify its manufacturing capability for
leader wire and telemetric cable and to consolidate the Company's geophone
manufacturing operation into such facility, and $1.5 million for the purchase of
new office space.

   Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 1998 generated $12.2
million of cash, principally resulting from the net proceeds from the Company's
initial public offering totaling $14.6 million. A portion of these proceeds were
used to repay outstanding bank borrowings of $2.4 million.

   Although the Company strives to fill orders for its products within 60 days
of the date they are received, in recent months the Company has taken 90 days or
longer to deliver on certain orders due to its limited capacity to meet an
increased number and size of orders. While the increase in order fill time has
not adversely affected the Company's results of operations or liquidity, it has
limited the Company's growth in sales, thereby limiting growth in cash provided
by operations. The Company expects that its facility expansion plans will
increase its capacity and adequately address the Company's increased order fill
time. The Company also expects such expansion and increased production to result
in higher working capital requirements.

   Prior to the Offering, the Company relied on various intercompany
arrangements with OYO U.S.A. for its financing requirements. Following the
Offering, OYO U.S.A. and its affiliates are no longer guaranteeing any
indebtedness for the Company's benefit. However, the Company expects to be able
to obtain new working capital lines of credit with one or more banks (which, if
secured, would be secured solely by the Company's assets). While no committed
lines of credit are currently in place, the Company is in negotiations with a
major financial institution to obtain a credit facility, under which the Company
expects to be able to borrow up to $10.0 million, which the Company expects will
be secured by accounts receivable and inventory. However, there can be no
assurance that such facilities will be available to the Company on terms the
Company considers reasonable or that such facilities will not increase the
Company's cost of capital over historical periods.

        The Company is in discussions with a mortgage lender regarding a $1.0
million mortgage loan to be secured by the Company's corporate office facility.
The Company recently purchased this facility for $1.3 million in cash. At the
time the Company purchased the facility, it intended to borrow against the
facility for a portion of the purchase price. In addition, the Company is
considering the mortgage of additional facilities, including those currently
owned and for facilities it may acquire in the future. However, there can be no
assurance that the 

                                       11

Company will be successful in obtaining such loans or that such loans will be
available to the Company on terms the Company considers reasonable

   The Company believes that the combination of cash flow from operations,
credit facilities it expects to enter into and the net proceeds from the
Offering should provide the Company with sufficient capital resources and
liquidity to fund its operations for fiscal 1998 and support its acquisition and
expansion program. However, there can be no assurance that such sources of
capital will be sufficient to support an acquisition and expansion program in
fiscal 1998 or in the long-term or otherwise support the Company's capital
requirements, and the Company may be required to issue additional debt or equity
securities in the future to meet its capital requirements.

 Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations to date.

ACQUISITION

    On February 3, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of Concord as well as certain intellectual property related to the
business of Concord, for a purchase price of $6.3 million, consisting of a cash
payment of $3.5 million and the issuance of 159,200 shares of the Company's
common stock valued at approximately $2.8 million. The purchase price was
determined through arm's-length negotiations with Mr. Cole, who had no prior
relationship to the Company or any of its affiliates or directors, officers or
associates thereof. Concord, located in Houston, Texas, designs and manufactures
equipment used in connection with deepwater marine seismic surveys. The Company
will continue the business of Concord, including the continued devotion of its
plant and other assets to its business.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
(revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. It requires (a) classification of the components of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) the
display of the accumulated balance of the other comprehensive income separate
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a
statement of financial position. SFAS 130 is effective for years beginning after
December 15, 1997 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

   In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS
131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

   In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits" ("SFAS 132). SFAS 132 standardizes the disclosure requirements for
pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable. It also
requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair
values of plan assets. SFAS 132 is effective for years beginning after December
15, 1997 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

(d) The Company completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") of its
common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-36727) (the
"Registration Statement"), which was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission at 11:00 a.m.

Eastern Standard Time on November 20, 1997.

The net proceeds of the Offering to the Company were approximately $14.6
million. From the effective date of the Registration Statement through March 31,
1998, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay
$4.9 million of outstanding indebtedness, including $1.5 million of which was
outstanding as of September 30, 1997. The Company incurred additional
indebtedness of $2.5 million from October 1, 1997 to November 26, 1997, which
resulted from the Company's growing working capital needs, primarily to fund
increases in accounts receivable and inventories resulting from increases in
sales, as well as to pay fiscal 1997 accrued bonuses. The remaining indebtedness
was incurred by Concord prior to the acquisition. The Company used $3.5 million
of the net proceeds of the Offering in connection with the acquisition of
Concord. See "Acquisition" above. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering
have been invested in short-term securities.
