                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments and
reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation
have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.

The Company announced a 3 for 2 split of its common stock to shareholders of
record as of September 15, 1995; which shares were issued on September 28, 1995.
As a result, all shares and related references have been restated for all prior
periods and transactions.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGE:

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company adopted a new method of
accounting for pre-contract costs. Pre-contract costs represent amounts
applicable to products and technologies which represent adaptations of existing
capabilities to the particular requirements of the Company's customers. These
costs were previously deferred and recovered over the revenue streams from these
customers. The Company will now expense these costs as they are incurred. Due to
current industry trends and anticipated accounting changes, the new policy is
considered preferable to the previous policy. Both policies are currently in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The $3.2 million cumulative effect of the change on prior years (after reduction
for income taxes of $2.2 million) is included in operations of the six months
ended June 30, 1996. The effect of the change on the three months ended June 30,
1996 was to decrease net earnings by $1.3 million ($.14 per share); the effect
of the change on the six months ended June 30, 1996 was to decrease earnings
before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle $1.8 million ($.21
per share) and net earnings by $5.0 million ($.57 per share). The pro forma
amounts reflect the effect of retroactive application on pre-contract costs, net
of amortization, and the related income tax benefits.

The effect of the change on the first quarter of 1996 was as follows:

NOTE 3 - CONTRACT RECEIVABLES:

Amounts receivable from the United States Government or receivable under United
States Government related subcontracts are generally billed in the following
month or when the contract and all options thereunder are completed. Amounts due
on other commercial contracts are generally billed as shipments are made.
Intercompany receivables have been eliminated.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES:

The tax provision for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 is proportionate to the Federal and State combined rate of approximately
40%.


NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company retired 82,500 shares of treasury
stock which had been acquired for a cost of $279,838.

Weighted average shares used to compute per share amounts for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 do not include common stock equivalents
because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company completed a secondary offering of common stock which closed and
funded the second quarter of 1995. As a result of this offering, 2,328,750
shares were sold by the Company at $12 per share. The net proceeds from the
offering totaled $25,567,822.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION.

GENERAL:

Simula, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") designs and
manufactures occupant safety systems and devices engineered to safeguard human
life in a wide range of air, ground, and sea transportation vehicles. Utilizing
substantial proprietary technology in energy-absorbing seating, inflatable
restraints, and composite materials which the Company has developed over many
years, the Company focuses on reducing injury and increasing survivability in
vehicle crashes.

Utilizing its proprietary safety technology, customer relationships, and
manufacturing capacity and expertise, developed on its own and enhanced through
recent acquisitions, the Company has developed and is introducing crashworthy
seating systems for commercial airliners, a side-impact inflatable restraint
system for automobiles, a bulkhead airbag system for commercial airliners, and
two cockpit inflatable restraint systems for military aircraft. Through recent
acquisitions, the Company has become the largest North American-based supplier
of seating systems for rail and other mass transit vehicles and a prominent
supplier of repair and refurbishing services for commercial airliner seating,
including the installation of entertainment and communication systems.

The Company is a holding company for wholly owned subsidiaries, principally
including Simula Government Products, Inc., an entity conducting the Company's
primary government business, and Intaero, Inc., an entity conducting the
Company's primary commercial businesses through its operating subsidiaries:
Airline Interiors, Inc., Coach & Car Equipment Corporation and Artcraft
Industries Corp.

The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from contracts that are
accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting. Under
this method, revenue is recorded as production progresses so that revenue less
costs incurred to date yield the percentage of gross margin estimated for each
contract. Overall gross margin percentages can increase or decrease based upon
changes in estimated gross margin percentages over the lives of individual
contracts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company adopted a new method of
accounting for pre-contract costs as more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes
to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Beginning in 1996, the Company now
expenses these pre-contract costs as incurred rather than deferring these costs
to be amortized over the revenue streams from the Company's customers. The
effect of this change on the three months ended June 30, 1996 was to increase
cost of revenue by $2,122,961 for pre-contract costs expensed in the second
quarter. This resulted in the reduction of second quarter net income of
$1,273,961 ($.14 per share) net of the related income tax benefit of $849,000.
This change requires restatement of first quarter earnings for costs capitalized
in the first quarter under the previous accounting method and the cumulative
catch-up adjustment for the effect of costs capitalized as of December 31, 1995.
The effect of the change on the six months ended June 30, 1996 was to increase
cost of revenue by $3,061,208 resulting in a reduction in net earnings before
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $1,837,208 ($.21
per share) net of the related income tax benefit of $1,224,000.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to 1995

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 29% to $19.6 million
from $15.2 million for the comparable period in 1995. Revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 increased 26% to $36.4 million from $28.8 million.
These increases were primarily attributable to increased contract activity at
Simula Government Products principally resulting from an armor contract
completed during the second quarter as well as increased sales of the Company's
16g commercial airliner passenger seat ("16g seat").


                                       8
<PAGE>   10
                                  SIMULA, INC.


Gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 26% to $4.1
million from $5.6 million for the comparable period in 1995. The gross margin
percentage for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased to 21% from 37%
for the comparable period in 1995. Gross margins for the six months ended June
30, 1996 decreased 16% to $8.6 million from $10.2 million for the comparable
period in 1995. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30,
1996 decreased to 24% from 35% for the comparable period in 1995. As noted
above, cost of revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996
includes $2.1 million and $3.1 million for pre-contract costs. These costs
primarily relate to adaptations of the existing capabilities of the Inflatable
Tubular Structure ("ITS") and bulkhead airbag products which are not yet in
production and the 16g seat which is in the initial phase of production. The
inclusion of these costs is substantially offset by increased margins
attributable to the increased revenue at Simula Government Products. Excluding
the effect of expensing pre-contract costs, the gross margin percentage for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 would have been 32%. The lower gross
margin percentage is primarily attributable to lower individual gross margin
percentages from the mix of contracts in process or completed during the period
at Artcraft, Coach & Car and Simula Government Products.

Administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 16%
to $4.2 million from $3.6 million for the comparable period in 1995.
Administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 21% to
$8.1 million from $6.7 million for the comparable period in 1996. These
increases are primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing activities
related to the commercial introduction of the Company's technologies,
principally the 16g seat. Administrative expenses also include research and
development costs related to the development of sensors. In addition, general
administrative expenses incident to the management of the Company increased as a
result of increased activity.

Operating (loss) income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $2.0
million to a loss of $48,860. Operating income for the six months ended June 30,
1996 decreased $3.1 million to $486,755. The reduction in operating income
resulted primarily from the reduction in gross margins attributable to the
expensing of pre-contract costs and increased administrative expenses noted
above.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 11% to
$459,568 from $415,255 for the comparable period due to increased borrowings on
the Company's credit facilities to fund its growth in working capital and fixed
assets. Interest expense in the 1995 period is lower due to the repayment of
debt with the proceeds from the secondary offering in April 1995. Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 18% to $791,251 from
$970,427 for the comparable period in 1995 due to the higher level of debt
outstanding in 1995 prior to the secondary offering in April 1995.

The effective income tax rate approximates 40% for both quarterly periods.

The change in accounting for precontract costs resulted in a charge to second
quarter earnings of $1,273,961 or $.14 per share. After giving effect to this
$.14 per share charge, the net loss for the second quarter of 1996 was $.03 per
share or $305,428. Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $936,995 or
$.11 per share.

Generally accepted accounting principles require restatement of the first
quarter of 1996 for the change in accounting for precontract costs to include
the cumulative effect to December 31, 1995 of $3,239,948 or $.36 per share and
the expensing of precontract costs capitalized in the first quarter of $563,247
or $.07 per share. As a result of the required restatement, the Company reported
a loss before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of
$183,496 or $.02 per share and a net loss of $3.4 million or $.38 per share for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. Net income for the six months ended June 30,
1995 was $1.6 million or $.20 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity is greatly impacted by the nature of the billing
provisions under its government contracts. Generally, in the early period of
contracts, cash expenditures and accrued profits are greater than allowed
billings while contract completion results in billing previously unbilled costs
and profits. Contract receivables increased $3.6 million and advances on
contracts decreased $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
principally due to the timing of billings and increased volume at Simula
Government Products, Coach & Car and Artcraft.

Operating activities required the use of $ 8.1 million of cash during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the use of $7.3 million of cash during
the respective period in 1995. This resulted primarily from the working capital
required for growth in contract activity and receivables noted above and to fund
the $4.9 million investment in inventories primarily at Simula Government
Products for upcoming contracts and Airline Interiors for the 16g seat. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996 cash used in investing activities was $3.9
million, which was expended primarily for the purchase of manufacturing
equipment for the ITS and computer and test equipment at Simula Government
Products. Cash provided by financing activities was $9.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, of which $6.7 million resulted from borrowings on
the revolving credit facility primarily for working capital needs. The Company
also borrowed $2.4 million under other borrowing arrangements primarily for the
financing of fixed assets.

On October 20, 1995, the Company executed a loan agreement with First Interstate
Bank, N.A. to provide up to $15,000,000 of credit. Ten million dollars of the
facility is available under a revolving credit arrangement to finance working
capital requirements and five million dollars is available under a five-year
amortizing term loan for the financing of U.S. based equipment. The outstanding
balances of the revolving credit facility and equipment facility at June 30,
1996 were $6.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of August 12, 1996,
the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility is $7.7 million.

The Company is currently involved in negotiations with a variety of capital
sources and believes it will be able to obtain the capital needed to address
future operating and capital requirements. The target capital will be used to
construct additional manufacturing and research facilities, fund research and
development of new products directly or by acquisitions, purchase equipment and
support working capital requirements attendant to growth in markets and
revenues.

Included in current portion of long-term debt is a mortgage of $2.6 million on
one of the Company's facilities. The Company is currently involved in
negotiations with various lenders to refinance the mortgage and believes it will
be able to refinance the mortgage on a long-term basis prior to its maturity in
March of 1997.


INFLATION

The Company does not believe that it is significantly impacted by inflation.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company's research and development occurs primarily under fixed-price,
government-funded contracts as well as Company-sponsored efforts. The revenue
received under government-funded contracts is recorded under the percentage of
completion method of accounting, and the costs of independent research and
development efforts are expensed as incurred.

Historically, research and development efforts have fluctuated based upon
available government-funded contracts. The Company anticipates that future
fluctuations may also occur as a result of efforts to expand its inflatable
restraint, commercial airliner seating, and rail seating technologies.

                                  SIMULA, INC.

SEASONALITY

The Company's operations and financial results are affected by the seasonal
variations in deliveries by suppliers. Historically, the Company has experienced
its highest level of deliveries of materials in the fourth quarter and its
lowest level of deliveries in the first quarter. Accordingly, the Company has
historically recorded its highest revenue in the fourth quarter and lower
revenue in the first quarter.


FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISKS OF THE BUSINESS

The Company expects that during the remainder of fiscal 1996, it will devote
significant resources to complete development and roll-out of new products and
technologies, and to expand its manufacturing capability for such products,
including CABS, BABS, IBAHRS, ITS and 16g airliner seats. The Company expects
that in late 1996 and in 1997, it will begin to realize significant revenues
from the introduction of these products. The other core businesses of the
Company are expected to remain at current revenue levels.

The Company's operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors which
could adversely impact its revenues and profitability, many of which are beyond
the control of the Company. The factors include the Company's ability to design
and introduce new products on a timely basis; market acceptance and demand of
both the Company's and its customers' products; the level of orders which are
received and can be shipped in a quarter; availability and utilization of
manufacturing capacity; the availability and cost of raw material, equipment,
and other supplies; the cyclical nature of the airline, rail and automobile
industries and other markets addressed by the Company's products; the level and
makeup of military expenditures; technological changes; competition and
competitive pressures on pricing; and economic conditions in the United States
and worldwide markets served by the Company.
