NET SALES
- ---------
      The 28.5%  increase in sales for the three months ended  January 31, 1995,
      and the 23.7%  increase  for the six months  ended  January 31,  1995,  as
      compared to prior-year periods,  were the result of increased sales in the
      automotive  segment which were partially  offset by decreased sales in the
      nonautomotive  segment.  Sales for the  automotive  segment  continued  to
      increase  due to  increased  demand  for air bags for  both  domestic  and
      foreign automobile manufacturers.  Second quarter sales for the automotive
      segment  increased  42.0% from  $14,875,900 to $21,125,200  and first-half
      sales  increased  46.5% from  $27,667,800 to  $40,533,400,  as compared to
      prior-year  periods.  An increase in  automotive  segment  sales of 30% is
      expected  for  fiscal  year  1995.  Sales  for the  nonautomotive  segment
      increased  by 8.3% for the second  quarter and  decreased  by 6.7% for the
      first half due to the  relocation  of the Denver  aerospace  operations to
      Fairfield,  California in September 1994.  Nonautomotive  sales for fiscal
      year 1995 are expected to be nominally higher than fiscal year 1994 sales.


COST OF SALES
- -------------
      Cost of sales  increased by 26.5% for the three  months ended  January 31,
      1995,  and 18.0% for the six months ended January 31, 1995, as compared to
      the prior-year periods.  These increases were primarily  attributed to the
      increased sales of the automotive segment.  Costs were further impacted by
      start-up  costs  associated  with  Pyroindustrie,   OEA's  new  automotive
      subsidiary  in France,  which began  deliveries  of air bag  initiators in
      February  1995.  The cost of sales,  as a  percentage  of  sales,  were as
      follows:

      Three Months ended January 31, 1994 and 1995          68.2% to 67.1%
      Six Months ended January 31, 1994 and 1995            68.8% to 65.7%



GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
      General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by $24,500 for the three
      months  ended  January 31,  1995,  and  increased  by $144,100 for the six
      months ended January 31, 1995, as compared to the prior-year periods.  The
      increase for the first half was primarily due to expenses  associated with
      the hybrid gas generator facility,  which was not fully operational in the
      prior-year   periods,   and  to  start-up   costs   associated   with  the
      Pyroindustrie  facility in France. The expenses, as a percentage of sales,
      were as follows:

      Three Months ended January 31, 1994 and 1995          6.6% to 5.0%
      Six Months ended January 31, 1994 and 1995            6.0% to 5.1%

<PAGE>





RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
- ---------------------------------
      Research and development  costs increased by $722,800 for the three months
      ended January 31, 1995,  and $669,700 for the six months ended January 31,
      1995, as compared to the prior-year  periods.  These costs are expected to
      increase  significantly  for the  remainder  of  fiscal  year  1995 due to
      continued   development  of  passenger,   driver  and  side-impact  hybrid
      inflators.


NET EARNINGS
- ------------
      Net earnings  increased  $1,269,000 for the three months ended January 31,
      1995,  and $375,500 for the six months ended January 31, 1995, as compared
      to prior-year  periods.  The increase  during the second quarter  resulted
      primarily from increased sales in the automotive segment.  The increase in
      the first  half was  largely  offset by the  settlement  of the  Company's
      environmental  matters in the amount of $2,250,000.  Earnings are expected
      to increase in the second half consistent with fiscal year 1995 goals.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
      The Company's  working  capital  decreased  slightly during the quarter to
      $50,763,100.  During the  six-month  period ended  January 31,  1995,  the
      Company made capital expenditures totaling approximately $10,699,800 which
      were  funded  principally  from  operations.   The  Company  maintains  an
      $8,000,000  Revolving  Credit  Agreement  with its  principal  bank and at
      January 31, 1995, had no outstanding  balance against this line of credit.
      Anticipated  working  capital  requirements,   capital  expenditures,  and
      facility  expansions are expected to be met through  internally  generated
      funds and, when necessary,  borrowings from the agreement mentioned above,
      which can be increased when required.


FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
- ----------------------------
      Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign  subsidiary are translated
      to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are
      translated at average  exchange rates  prevailing  during the period.  The
      local currency is used as the functional  currency for the  subsidiary.  A
      translation  adjustment results from translating the foreign  subsidiary's
      accounts  from  functional  currencies  to U.S.  dollars.  Exchange  gains
      (losses) resulting from foreign currency  transactions are included in the
      consolidated statements of operations.

The unaudited  financial  statements  furnished  above  reflect all  adjustments
(consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
OEA's  management,  necessary  for a fair  statement  of  the  results  for  the
three-month and the six-month periods ended January 31, 1995.

Refer to the Company's annual  financial  statements for the year ended July 31,
1994, for a description of the  accounting  policies,  which have been continued
without change.  Additionally,  a foreign currency  translation  policy has been
adopted for fiscal year 1995, as described  above.  Also, refer to the footnotes
with  those  financial  statements  for  additional  details  of  the  Company's
financial condition,  results of operations,  and changes in financial position.
The  details  in those  notes  have not  changed  except  as a result  of normal
transactions in the interim and the settlement of legal proceedings described in
Part II, Item 1 which follows.


                         Part II - OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

            The  Company has  previously  reported a civil  action  filed by the
            Colorado  Department of Health (CDH) alleging  improper  handling of
            wastes at the Company's Denver  facility.  On December 12, 1994, the
            Company effected a complete settlement of that proceeding. Under the
            settlement,  the  Company  paid  $800,000  to CDH and  agreed to pay
            $300,000  over a period of three years to various  local  government
            agencies and  associations  for use in  environmental  projects.  In
            addition,   if  the  Company   commits   specified   violations   of
            environmental laws or the settlement agreement within the next three
            years,  it  could  become  obligated  to  pay  up to  an  additional
            $1,900,000.  The Company  believes that its current  procedures  are
            sufficient to avoid future  violations and does not expect to become
            obligated to pay any portion of the additional $1,900,000.

            The  Company  also  agreed  with CDH that it would  spend a total of
            $3,000,000 to evaluate and, if appropriate,  implement various waste
            minimization,  pollution  prevention and worker safety projects.  Of
            that amount, the Company has already spent approximately $2,450,000,
            with the balance to be expended over three years.

            The Company has also previously reported the settlement of a federal
            criminal investigation relating to essentially the same facts as the
            CDH  proceeding.   The  sentencing  hearing  under  that  settlement
            agreement  was held on December 13, 1994.  The court  ordered OEA to
            pay a fine in the net amount of $1,150,000 after taking into

            account  credits for amounts paid to CDH, plus minor  administrative
            costs. The full amount was paid in December 1994.

            The settlement with CDH and the completion of the sentencing hearing
            constitute  a complete  resolution  of the issues  raised in both of
            those proceedings.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

            At the Company's  annual  stockholders'  meeting held on January 13,
            1995, nine directors were elected and the proposed  Employees' Stock
            Option Plan and the  proposed  Nonemployee  Directors'  Stock Option
            Plan (the "Plans") were adopted.

            The Plans  provide for awards of stock options to be made in respect
            of a maximum of 600,000  shares of Common Stock under the Employees'
            Plan and  50,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  under  the  Nonemployee
            Directors' Plan,  subject to adjustment for capital changes.  Shares
            in respect to which  grants  are made may be either  authorized  but
            unissued  shares of Common Stock or issued shares  reacquired by and
            held in treasury,  or both.  Shares of Common Stock that are subject
            to options  that  expire,  terminate  or are annulled for any reason
            without  having been  exercised or are  forfeited  prior to becoming
            exercisable  will  return to the pool of such shares  available  for
            grant  under the  Plans.  A  detailed  description  of the Plans was
            included in and is incorporated  by reference from the  Registrant's
            definitive proxy statement for its 1995 annual shareholders  meeting
            which was filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on
            December 9, 1994.
