NET SALES

         The 15.2%  increase  in sales for the three  months  ended  January 31,
         1996, and the 19.0% increase for the six months ended January 31, 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 air bags for both
         domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers. Second quarter sales for
         the automotive  segment increased 28.0% from $21,125,200 to $27,040,300
         and first-half  sales increased 28.0% from  $40,533,400 to $51,891,600,
         as compared to prior-year  periods.  Current year automotive  sales are
         projected to continue this strong growth over last year.  Sales for the
         nonautomotive  segment  decreased  by 10.0% for the second  quarter and
         remained flat for the first half.  Nonautomotive  sales for fiscal year
         1996 are  expected to be higher than fiscal year 1995 sales,  due to an
         increase in backlog.


COST OF SALES

         Cost of sales  increased by 6.6% for the three months ended January 31,
         1996,  and 15.2% for the six months ended January 31, 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 production costs associated with Pyroindustrie  S.A., OEA's
         automotive  subsidiary  in France,  which began  deliveries  of air bag
         initiators in February  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. The
         cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, were as follows:

         Three Months ended January 31, 1995 and 1996     67.1% to 62.1%
         Six Months ended January 31, 1995 and 1996       65.7% to 63.6%


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses increased by $281,900 for the three
         months ended  January 31, 1996,  and  increased by $456,600 for the six
         months ended January 31, 1996, as compared to the  prior-year  periods.
         The  increases  for the current  periods are  primarily due to expenses
         associated  with the  Pyroindustrie  facility in France,  which was not
         operational in the prior-year  period, and to start-up costs associated
         with  OEA's  passenger-side   hybrid  inflator.   The  expenses,  as  a
         percentage of sales, were as follows:

         Three Months ended January 31, 1995 and 1996              5.0% to 5.1%
         Six Months ended January 31, 1995 and 1996                5.1% to 4.9%

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

         Research and  development  costs  increased by $1,193,600 for the three
         months ended January 31, 1996,  and $1,390,000 for the six months ended
         January 31, 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  $1,103,200  for the three months ended January
         31, 1996,  and $4,898,900 for the six months ended January 31, 1996, 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 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 second half
         consistent with fiscal year 1996 goals.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  Company's   working  capital   decreased  during  the  quarter  to
         $57,348,200.  During the six-month  period ended January 31, 1996,  the
         Company made capital expenditures  totaling  approximately  $15,458,600
         which were funded principally from operations. The Company maintains an
         $8,000,000  Revolving  Credit  Agreement with its principal bank and at
         January 31,  1996,  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 and the six-month periods ended January 31, 1996.

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

                  At the Company's annual stockholders'  meeting held on January
                  12,  1996,  nine  directors  were  elected  and  the  proposed
                  Nonemployee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was
                  adopted.

                  The Plan  provides  for awards of stock  options to be made in
                  respect of a maximum of 50,000 shares of Common Stock, 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 Plan. A detailed  description of
                  the Plan was included in and is incorporated by reference from
                  the  Registrant's  definitive  proxy  statement  for its  1996
                  annual   shareholders   meeting   which  was  filed  with  the
                  Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 1995.
