3.  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
    No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 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. This statement requires that an enterprise (a)
    classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial
    statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
    income separately from retained earnings and capital in excess of par value
    in the equity section of a balance sheet.

    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
    130. Accordingly, the Company determined that the only transactions
    considered to be an additional component of comprehensive income is the
    cumulative effect of foreign currency translation adjustments. As of
    September 30, 1998 and 1997, the cumulative effect of such transactions
    reduced stockholders' equity by approximately $225,000 and $322,000,
    respectively. The net impact to operations for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1998 and 1997 would reduce comprehensive income by
    approximately $39,000 and $87,000, respectively.

    In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of
    an Enterprise and Related Information," which redefines how public business
    enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
    statements. The statement also establishes standards for related disclosures
    about products and services, geographical areas, and major customers. SFAS
    No. 131 is effective for annual financial statements for periods beginning
    after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative
    information for earlier years is to be restated. The adoption of SFAS No.
    131 will likely not result in additional disclosures by the Company.

4.  On April 20, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously authorized
    the Company to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in
    the open market. The manner and timing of the repurchase will depend on
    market conditions and the Company's available cash reserves. As of September
    30, 1998, 200,400 shares had been repurchased under this plan.

                                                                               5

Sales and Markets
- -----------------

Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, were $47.9
million and $135.0 million, respectively, compared with net sales of $39.0
million and $110.2 million for the comparable periods of 1997. This reflects a
23% increase for both periods. Product sales for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1998 were $42.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively,
compared with product sales of $34.6 million and $97.2 million, respectively,
for the same periods last year.

The order rate in the third quarter was up 26% over last year, and for the nine
months was up 21%, due in part, to increased demand for the higher-end mobile C-
arms and strong urology system orders. Service revenue for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 was $5.9 million and $17.1 million,
respectively, compared with service revenue of $4.4 million for the same quarter
last year and $12.9 million for the nine month period in 1997. This is a 32%
increase for both periods, reflecting the product sales increases of the prior
year.

                                                                               6
<PAGE>
 
International revenue was up 13% in the third quarter and 2% for the nine month
period, compared to the prior year. International orders for the first nine
months of 1998 were 14% higher than the same period in 1997. The Company has
lowered its expectations of international revenue for 1998, due to the decline
of business in Asia.

Margin Analysis
- ---------------

OEC's gross margin was up to 42.5% of net sales for the third quarter and 42.3%
for the nine months of 1998 compared to 41.4% and 40.7%, respectively, for the
same periods in 1997.  Despite continued pricing pressures, this margin
improvement was accomplished through lower warranty costs, increased overhead
absorption resulting from higher production volumes and as a result of sales of
higher margin products like the Cardiac and 12 inch field-of-view C-arm
products.

Service expenses increased by $0.9 million in the third quarter and $3.0 million
for the nine months, compared to the same periods in 1997.  This increase is
attributed to higher labor and material costs associated with the growth in
revenue.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------

Research and development costs increased by $0.5 million for the three-month
period and $1.3 million for the nine months compared to the prior year. The
Company expects to continue to invest in new product development and
enhancements at a level of approximately 7% of revenue.

Marketing and sales expenses increased by $1.7 million or 28% for the quarter
and $5.0 million or 28% for the nine months compared to the prior year, but were
up only 0.7% for the nine months as a percentage of net sales.  This category
was higher because of increased commission and sales incentive expenses
associated with exceeding sales goals, additional manpower in sales coverage and
application personnel worldwide, along with expanded workshop support expenses.
The Company's support of physicians training workshops reinforces the use of OEC
equipment for new applications and generates leads for future business.

Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were down for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1998 compared to last year.

Income Taxes
- ------------

During the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, the Company recorded $2.6 million and
$1.8 million of tax expense, respectively.  The effective tax rate increased
from 34.6% in the first nine months of 1997 to 35.9% in the first nine months of
1998 as the Company recalculated its deferred tax assets and saw the elimination
of research and development tax credits in the third quarter which were
subsequently reinstated in the fourth quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30,1998 and 1997
was $10.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The cash increase from net
income was primarily offset by inventory increases.  The additional inventory is
to support expanded production and to provide additional demonstration units.

During the first nine months of 1998, the Company used $10.3 million in
investing activities.  This cash usage was primarily for purchase of $3.9
million of securities available for sale; the purchase of a minority interest
investment in Heartlab, Inc., a Rhode Island based medical imaging software
development company with a focus on cardiology; and for additions to property
and equipment. The building additions to the Salt Lake City facility were
completed in the second quarter and were fully occupied without any disruptions
in productivity.

On April 20, the board of directors of OEC authorized a one million share
repurchase program to commence immediately.  There is no time limitation on its
completion.  During 1998, the Company has repurchased approximately 200,000
shares for $4.6 million. OEC believes that it has sufficient liquidity and
anticipated cash flow to meet its obligations and support the share repurchase
program in 1998.  In addition, OEC continues to carry an unused $10 million line
of credit.

                                                                               7

Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------

Except for historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected.  Such risks and uncertainties
include: product demand and market acceptance; the effect of general economic
conditions and foreign currency fluctuations; the impact of competitive products
and pricing; new product development and commercialization; the effect of the
continuing shift in growth from domestic to international healthcare customers;
the impact of managed care initiatives in the United States; and the ability to
increase operating margins on higher sales.

OEC's future operating results are dependent on its ability to develop,
manufacture and market innovative products that meet customers' needs.  The
process of developing new high technology medical products is complex and
uncertain and requires innovative designs that anticipate customer needs,
technological trends and healthcare shifts.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to develop and market new products on a cost-effective and
timely basis, that such products will compete favorably with products developed
by others or that existing technology will not be superseded by new discoveries
or breakthroughs.

Because of the substantial length of time and expense associated with bringing
new products through development and regulatory approval to the marketplace, the
medical device industry places considerable importance on obtaining patent,
trademark, copyright and trade secret protection for new technologies, products
and processes.  The loss of protection could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business.

OEC depends on some significant and single-source vendors for certain important
component parts for certain products.  While the Company believes any of these
single-source items could be replaced over time, abrupt disruption in the supply
of a part for a product could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
production and on its financial condition and results of operations in cases
where the existing inventory of the components is not adequate to meet the
Company's demand for the component during such disruption.

The testing, marketing and sale of human healthcare products entails an inherent
risk of product liability, and there can be no assurance that product liability
claims will not be asserted against OEC.  Although OEC has product liability
insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will provide
adequate coverage against all potential claims.

As a manufacturer of medical devices, OEC is subject to extensive and rigorous
governmental regulation, principally by the FDA and corresponding state and
foreign agencies. Failure to comply with FDA regulations could result in
sanctions being imposed, including restrictions on the marketing of or recall of
the affected products.  The FDA and other agencies have periodically inspected
OEC's facilities and manufacturing processes, but remain subject to further
inspections from time to time.  OEC continues to devote substantial human and
financial resources to regulatory compliance and believes that it remains in
substantial compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations.
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the FDA or a state agency will
agree with OEC's positions, or that its GMP or ISO compliance will not be
challenged at some subsequent point in time.

A portion of the Company's research and development activities, some of its
single-source vendors, its corporate headquarters and other critical business
operations are located near a major earthquake fault. The ultimate impact on the
Company, significant suppliers and the general infrastructure is unknown, but
operating results could be materially affected in the event of a major
earthquake.

Although OEC believes that it has the product offerings and resources needed for
continuing success, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably
predicted and may cause the Company to adjust its operations. Factors external
to the Company can result in volatility of the Company's common stock price.

Foreign Currency Rate Exposure
- ------------------------------

The Company has operating subsidiaries located in Europe and utilizes forward
exchange contracts with durations generally less than nine months to hedge
against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations of European income. The

                                                                               8
<PAGE>
 
Company also has other customers located throughout the world; however, these
customers' invoices are denominated in U.S. dollars.  As a result, the Company
has not incurred material gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
fluctuations.  The Company's forward exchange contracts are not material.

Interest Rate Risk Exposure
- ---------------------------

The Company has purchased certain debt obligations of the U.S. government and
various corporations with maturities generally less than one year.  As of
September 30, 1998, such investments totaled approximately $6.7 million and the
difference between amortized cost and fair market value is immaterial.  Interest
rate risk and default risk underlying these securities is not considered to be
significant.

Other Exposures
- ---------------

The Company has not entered into any speculative derivatives and does not
foresee utilizing such instruments in the future.  The Company does not utilize
commodities in the normal course of its manufacturing process.  Accordingly, the
Company does not believe it has any significant commodity risks or exposures.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

The Company has reviewed its primary financial and other business information
systems and it believes that these systems will be able to manage and manipulate
all material data involving the transition from 1999 to 2000 without functional
or data abnormality and without inaccurate results related to such data.  Two
tertiary computer systems are in the process of being upgraded to Year 2000
compliance and reviews are underway with all suppliers, especially sole-source
vendors, to ensure compliance. The Company has reviewed the software associated
with the operation of its products to ensure Year 2000 compliance and has
determined that such software is capable of meeting the compliance standards.
While the Company believes the issues associated with Year 2000 compliance have
been or are being addressed, there remains the risk that suppliers may encounter
disruptions due to Year 2000 compliance or the costs associated with
implementing computer system changes would have an adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations and financial condition.  There is also risk
that Year 2000 compliance may have an effect on the purchasing patterns of
customers that would adversely affect demand for the Company's products for a
period of time.
