NET SALES

         The 5.7%  increase in sales for the three  months ended April 30, 1996,
         and the 14.2%  increase for the nine months  ended April 30,  1996,  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  initiators,  gas
         generators  and  inflators  for air bags for both  domestic and foreign
         automobile  manufacturers.  Third  quarter  sales  for  the  automotive
         segment  increased 15.6% from $24,989,300 to $28,890,100 and nine-month
         sales increased 23.3% from  $65,522,700 to $80,781,700,  as compared to
         prior-year  periods.  Sales for the nonautomotive  segment decreased by
         21.9% and 6.8% for the third quarter and the nine months, respectively,
         largely  due to an  accident  and a  voluntary  shut  down  of  certain
         operations  for a one month period in our Aerospace  subsidiary  during
         the third quarter. Normal operations and shipments have resumed.


COST OF SALES

         Cost of sales  increased  by 2.1% for the three  months ended April 30,
         1996,  and 10.6% for the nine months ended April 30, 1996,  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 OEA's passenger-side  hybrid
         inflator,  which began high volume  production  in the third quarter of
         the current fiscal year.  The cost of sales,  as a percentage of sales,
         were as follows:

         Three  Months  ended April 30, 1995 and 1996   63.1% to 60.9%        
         Nine Months ended April 30, 1995 and 1996      64.7% to 62.7%


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         General and administrative  expenses increased by $71,289 for the three
         months ended April 30, 1996,  and by $527,930 for the nine months ended
         April 30, 1996, as compared to the  prior-year  periods.  The increases
         for the current periods were primarily due to start-up costs associated
         with  OEA's   passenger-side   hybrid   inflator.   The   general   and
         administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were as follows:

         Three Months ended April 30, 1995 and 1996 4.5% to 4.5%
         Nine Months ended April 30, 1995 and 1996  4.9% to 4.8%







                           -6-
<PAGE>



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

         Research and  development  costs  increased by $1,906,435 for the three
         months ended April 30, 1996,  and  $3,296,410 for the nine months ended
         April 30, 1996, as compared to the prior-year periods.  These costs are
         expected  to remain at a high level for the  remainder  of fiscal  year
         1996 due to continued development of passenger,  driver and side-impact
         hybrid inflators.


NET EARNINGS

         Net  earnings  increased  $470,347 for the three months ended April 30,
         1996,  and  $5,369,250  for the nine months  ended April 30,  1996,  as
         compared to prior-year  periods.  The increase during the third quarter
         resulted primarily from increased sales in the automotive segment.  The
         increase for the nine months was further  impacted by the settlement of
         the Company's  environmental matters in the amount of $2,250,000 in the
         prior-year  period.  Earnings  are  expected  to increase in the fourth
         quarter consistent with fiscal year 1996 goals.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  Company's   working  capital   increased  during  the  quarter  to
         $57,393,700.  During the  nine-month  period ended April 30, 1996,  the
         Company made capital expenditures  totaling  approximately  $24,218,100
         which were funded principally from operations. The Company maintains an
         $8,000,000  Revolving  Credit  Agreement with its principal bank and at
         April 30, 1996, had a $1,000,000  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 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
