NET SALES
- ---------
         The 23.4% increase in sales for the three months ended October 31,
         1995, as compared to the prior-year period, was the result of
         increased sales in both the automotive segment and the nonautomotive
         segment.  Sales for the automotive segment continued to increase due
         to increased demand for driver and passenger side air bags for both
         domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers.  First quarter sales
         for the automotive segment increased 28.0% to $24,851,400, as compared
         to the prior-year period.  Current year automotive sales are projected
         to continue this strong growth over last year.  Sales for the
         nonautomotive segment over prior-year increased 12.9% for the three
         months ended October 31, 1995, as compared to the prior-year period.
         Nonautomotive sales for fiscal year 1996 are expected to be higher
         than fiscal year 1995.


COST OF SALES
- -------------
         Cost of sales increased by 25.5% for the three months ended October
         31, 1995, as compared to the prior-year period.  This was primarily
         attributed to the increased sales of the automotive segment.  Cost of
         sales was further increased by production costs associated with
         Pyroindustrie, OEA's new automotive subsidiary in France, which began
         deliveries of air bag initiators late in the second quarter of fiscal
         year 1995, and by start-up costs associated with OEA's passenger-side
         hybrid inflator, which is expected to begin high volume production in
         the third quarter of the current fiscal year.


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------   
         General and Administrative expenses increased by $174,700 for the
         three months ended October 31, 1995, as compared to the prior-year
         period.  The increase for the current period is primarily due to
         expenses associated with the Pyroindustrie facility in France, which
         was not operational in the prior-year period.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
- ---------------------------------
         Research and Development costs were $769,500 for the three months
         ended October 31, 1995, as compared to $573,100 for the prior-year
         period.  These costs are expected to continue to increase for the
         remainder of fiscal year 1996 due to continued development of
         passenger, driver and side-impact hybrid inflators.

NET EARNINGS
- ------------
         The increase in net earnings of $3,795,700 for the three months ended
         October 31, 1995, as compared to the prior-year period, is primarily
         attributable to last year's settlement of the Company's environmental
         matters in the net amount of $2,250,000, and to increased earnings
         from operations in both the automotive and nonautomotive segments.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
         The Company's working capital at October 31, 1995, increased  to
         $64,351,000.  During the three-month period ended October 31, 1995,
         the Company made capital expenditures totaling approximately
         $6,734,700 which were funded from operations.  The Company maintains
         an $8,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement with its principal bank and
         at October 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 earnings.

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 period ended October 31, 1995.

Refer to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended July
31, 1995, for a description of the accounting policies, which have been
continued without change.  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.
