Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
     GeoScience Corporation and its subsidiaries ("the Company") have been
     prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
     they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
     generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements
     and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
     thereto appearing in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended December 31, 1996.

     In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a
     fair presentation of the results of operations for all periods reported
     have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring
     items.

     The consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997.

     The consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the
     Company's geoscientific software subsidiary as a discontinued operation in
     accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (see Note 2).

     2. Effective June 30, 1997 ("the measurement date"), the Company adopted a
     plan to sell its geoscientific software subsidiary, CogniSeis Development,
     Inc. ("CogniSeis"). Accordingly, CogniSeis is reported as a discontinued
     operation for the periods presented.

     On October 14, 1997 ("the disposal date"), the Company completed the sale
     of CogniSeis to Paradigm GeoPhysical Corporation for $8.9 million in cash
     plus future royalties ranging between $8.5 million and the net present
     value as of the closing date of $12.0 million.

     The Company expects to recognize a net gain of approximately $3.8 million
     on the sale. Accordingly, the results of CogniSeis' operations from the
     measurement date through the disposal date have been deferred.

     4. Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding during each period (10,046,000 and 10,437,000 for the
     quarter ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 10,123,000 and
     9,179,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively).

     5. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company sold notes receivable in
     the amount of $7,848,000 to a bank. In accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 (FAS 125), TRANSFERS AND SERVICING
     OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES, the consolidated
     financial statements reflect both the asset and the
     liability associated with this transaction.

     6. In 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (FAS 128),
     EARNINGS PER SHARE, was issued. FAS 128 is effective for earnings per share
     calculations for periods ending after December 15, 1997. At that time, the
     Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute
     earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Adoption of FAS 128 is
     not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position
     or operational results.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In June 1997, the Company adopted a plan to sell its geoscientific software
subsidiary, CogniSeis Development, Inc. ("CogniSeis"). CogniSeis is accounted
for as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements have been restated to report separately the operating results of the
continuing operations. The operating results of the discontinued operation from
June 30, 1997 ("the measurement date") through October 14, 1997 ("the disposal
date") have been deferred as the Company expects to recognize a net gain on the
sale. All prior year amounts have been restated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Revenue decreased $9,845,000 or 35% to $18,163,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from the delay by
some customers in placing anticipated orders for seismic hardware equipment due
to their internal logistical issues. The consolidated gross profit margin
decreased from 34% to 31% of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit
margin during the quarter is attributed to increased engineering, manufacturing
and warranty costs associated with the 24-bit seismic data acquisition module
and increased manufacturing costs within the domestic seismic cable
manufacturing facility. The change in the sales mix to a larger percentage of
seismic cable products, which traditionally have lower margins than the seismic
data acquisition modules, also contributed to the lower gross margin.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7% to
$5,213,000 during the third quarter of 1997. These expenses as a percentage of
revenue increased from 17% to 29% in comparison to the same quarter a year ago.
The increase as a percent of revenue resulted from the abnormally low revenue
level and increased expenditures. The increase in expenditures was primarily a
result of support personnel added at the domestic manufacturing operations to
support the anticipated general growth in the Company's business and higher
consultant costs associated with increased seismic cable sales and a new
management information system that is being implemented. Research and
development expenses were $2,168,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
compared to $1,632,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase
resulted from design changes on the 24-bit seismic data acquisition module which
were made to enhance the performance and reliability of the module and addi-

tional engineering efforts on the PolySeis product to enhance its capabilities
to better meet customer demands.

Interest expense decreased to $267,000 during the third quarter of 1997 from
$803,000 during the third quarter of 1996 as a result of lower borrowings on the
Company's credit lines during the quarter. Other expense (net) was $14,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to other income (net) of $676,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease was a result of a
reduction in interest income on interest bearing receivables during the quarter.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, was 31%
compared to 33% for the same period in the prior year. The Company's effective
tax rate is lower than the statutory United States rate primarily due to tax
benefits generated from foreign sales.

The loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1997 was $1,434,000
or $.14 per share as compared to income of $1,865,000 or $.18 per share for the
corresponding quarter a year ago.

The results from the discontinued operation for the quarter ended September 30,
1997 were deferred and will be included in the gain on disposal of the
discontinued operation. The sale of the discontinued operation was finalized on
October 14, 1997.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $1,434,000 or $.14 per
share compared to net income of $1,138,000 or $.11 per share for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996, reflecting the results of lower revenue, lower gross
profit margin and higher operating expenses.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Revenue decreased 3% to $64,815,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, from $66,877,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in
revenue for the year to date period occurred within the third quarter in the
seismic hardware equipment area which more than offset the increase in revenue
that had occurred during the first six months of the year. The reason for the
decrease was explained above. The consolidated gross profit margin decreased
from 38% to 36% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, for the
same reasons provided in the

discussion of the results of operations for the quarter ended September 30,
1997.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$16,391,000 for the period ended September 30, 1997, from $13,385,000.
Correspondingly, these expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 20% to
25% in comparison to the same period a year ago. The primary reasons for the
increase were (i) the additional support personnel costs associated with the
higher employment levels added in anticipation of accelerated business growth,
(ii) higher consulting costs associated with increased seismic cable sales and a
new management information system that is being implemented, and (iii) the
additional costs of managing the consolidated business and being a publicly
traded company. Research and development expenses were $5,965,000 for the period
ended September 30, 1997, compared to $5,246,000 for the period ended September
30, 1996. The increase resulted primarily from the costs incurred for design
changes made to the 24-bit seismic data acquisition module manufactured by the
Company.

Interest expense decreased to $1,226,000 from $1,429,000 in the previous nine
month period as a result of lower borrowings within the three month period ended
September 30, 1997. Other income decreased to $124,000 from $1,020,000 due to a
reduction in interest bearing receivables.

Income from continuing operations for the nine month period of 1997 was $101,000
compared to $4,235,000 and earnings per common share were $.01 compared to $.46
for the corresponding period a year ago. The decrease in income from continuing
operations resulted from lower gross margins due to the reasons discussed above
combined with higher operating costs.

Loss from the discontinued operation for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, decreased $907,000 or $.11 per share from the same period in the prior
year as a result of a higher gross margin due to product sales mix and lower
operating expenses due to staffing reductions made during and after the third
quarter of 1996. Additionally, the results of discontinued operation from the
measurement date through the disposal date were deferred and will be included in
the gain on disposal of the discontinued operation to be recognized in the
fourth quarter of 1997.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $1,487,000 or $.15
per share compared to net income of $1,740,000 or $.19 per share for the same
period in the prior year, as a

result of lower revenue, lower gross profit margin and higher operating costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is currently satisfying its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements through internally generated cash from operations, bank borrowings
and loans from an affiliate, Tech-Sym Corporation. At September 30, 1997, the
Company's working capital balance was $47,965,000, compared to $36,863,000 at
December 31, 1996. The increase in working capital is a result of segregating
the net assets of the discontinued operation as a current asset at September 30,
1997. Cash used for operations was $7,111,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, compared to $10,454,000 for the same period in the prior
year. The primary use of cash from operations was to purchase additional
inventories in anticipation of the growth in business.

As of September 30, 1997, the Company had uncommitted bank lines of credit
aggregating approximately $22,796,000. Borrowings under these lines were
$19,127,000, including the discontinued operation. The Company had a working
capital ratio of 1.93 to 1.0 and debt to total capitalization of 39%. The
Company believes that its current financial position and available lines of
credit will provide ample sources of funds to meet foreseeable requirements.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $6,581,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $6,447,000 for the corresponding
prior year period. The Company estimates that capital expenditures for property,
plant and equipment during the remainder of 1997 will be approximately
$4,525,000. Most of the anticipated capital expenditures are not subject to firm
commitments and the Company may modify its plans depending on future results of
operations or other factors.
