                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Safety Components International,  Inc. ("SCI" or the "Company"),  without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed or omitted from this report,  as is permitted by such rules
and regulations; however, SCI believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the  information   presented  not   misleading.   It  is  suggested  that  these
consolidated  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with  the  audited
consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997.  The Company has  experienced,  and
expects to continue to experience,  variability in net sales and net income from
quarter to quarter.  Therefore,  the results of the  interim  periods  presented
herein are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be  expected  for any
other interim period or the full year.

     In the  opinion of  management,  the  information  furnished  reflects  all
adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the reported interim periods.

     On August 6, 1996,  Automotive  Safety  Components  International  Inc.,  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,  acquired 80% of the outstanding capital
stock  of  Phoenix  Airbag  GmbH  ("Phoenix  Airbag").   Phoenix  Airbag  was  a
corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Germany, and at the time
of the acquisition,  was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Aktiengesellschaft
("Phoenix  AG") in Hamburg,  Germany.  The purchase  from Phoenix AG was made in
accordance  with the terms and  conditions of the Agreement  Concerning the Sale
and  Transfer of all the Shares in Phoenix  Airbag  GmbH dated June 6, 1996,  as
amended.  The  acquisition  was completed on August 5, 1996.  The  operations of

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


     On May  21,  1997,  the  Company,  Phoenix  Airbag  and  Automotive  Safety
Components International Limited entered into an agreement with KeyBank National
Association,  as administrative agent ("KeyBank"),  and the lending institutions
named  therein (the "Credit  Agreement").  The proceeds of the Credit  Agreement
were used to repay the Bank of America  National  Trust and Savings  Association
("Bank of America NT&SA") term loan and revolving  credit  facility.  The Credit
Agreement  initially  provided  for (i) a term loan in the  principle  amount of
$15.0  million  (the "Term  Loan") and (ii) a revolving  credit  facility in the
aggregate  principal  amount  of  $12.0  million  (including  letter  of  credit
facilities) as of March 31, 1997. The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is
secured by  substantially  all the assets of the Company and bears interest at a
rate equal to either (i) the  greater  of  KeyBank's  prime rate (ii) the sum of
LIBOR  (5.72% as of June 30,  1997)  plus  1.00% for term  loans  (and 1.25% for
revolving  loans).  Upon the issuance of the $90.0 million  Senior  Subordinated
Notes (see Note 4), all outstanding  borrowings  under the Credit Agreement were
repaid and the Credit  Agreement  was converted  into a $27.0 million  revolving
credit facility for a five year term,  bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.00% with
a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum for any unused portion. The Company will use
the revolving credit facility to fund working capital.

     On June 4, 1997, the Company secured a $7.5 million  mortgage note facility
with Bank Austria.  The note is payable in semi-annual  installments of $375,000
beginning  September  30, 1997 through March 31, 2007 and bears an interest rate
of 7.5%. The note is secured by the assets of Company's Czech Republic facility.

     In May and June 1997, the Company repaid  approximately $6.5 million of the
obligations  assumed in the  Valentec  acquisition  out of the  proceeds  of the
KeyBank credit facility, Bank Austria mortgage note and a $2.0 million equipment
financing.  The $2.0 million equipment  financing bears interest at 9.38% and is
payable  monthly  beginning  July 1, 1997 through July 1, 2002 and is secured by
certain fixed assets of Valentec.


NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS


     Pursuant to a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement,  effective as of May 22,
1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common stock of Valentec in a
tax-free   stock-for-stock   exchange.   Valentec  was  the  Company's   largest
shareholder  immediately prior to the acquisition  owning  approximately 27%, or
1,379,200  shares of the issued and outstanding  shares of the Company's  common
stock.  The Company issued the  shareholders of Valentec  1,369,200 newly issued
shares of its common stock.

     The purchase  price for the Valentec  acquisition  was  negotiated  between
Valentec and a special committee  consisting of independent members of the Board
of Directors of the Company.  The special  committee was advised by  independent
legal counsel and an  independent  financial  advisor.  The  Company's  Board of
Directors received an opinion from the special committee's  financial advisor as
to the  fairness  from a  financial  point  of view of the  consideration  to be
received by the Company to the Company's shareholders other than Valentec.

     The  acquisition  was accounted for as a purchase.  The aggregate  purchase

assets  and  liabilities  acquired  will be  recorded  as their  carrying  value
approximates  their fair value,  except the common  stock of the Company held by
Valentec, which common stock has been recorded as treasury stock at market value
of $13.8  million.  These shares of common stock were  previously  accounted for
under the equity method of accounting for the investment by Valentec. Management
intends to merge  Valentec  during fiscal 1998. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $16.8 million was allocated to
goodwill and will be amortized over 25 years.

     The  following  unaudited pro forma  information  presents a summary of the
consolidated  results  of  operations  of the  Company  and  Valentec  as if the
acquisition  had  occurred at the  beginning  of the fiscal year ended March 31,
1997, with pro forma adjustments to give effect to the amortization of goodwill,
the  inclusion of Phoenix  Airbag for the entire  fiscal year and certain  other
adjustments, together with the related income tax effect.

     On June 30,  1997,  the Company  entered  into a  definitive  agreement  to
acquire all of the assets and assume  certain  liabilities  of the Air Restraint
and  Industrial  Fabrics  Division  of JPS  Automotive  L.P.  ("JPS").  JPS is a
leading,  low-cost  supplier  of airbag  fabric in North  America  and is also a
leading manufacturer of value-added synthetic fabrics used in a variety of niche
industrial and commercial  applications.  On July 24, 1997 the Company purchased
JPS  for   approximately   $56.9  million,   which  included  the  repayment  of
approximately  $650,000 of capital  lease  obligations.  The  purchase  price is
subject to post closing adjustments,  which will ultimately affect goodwill. The
Company  estimates direct  acquisition costs to be approximately  $600,000.  The
acquisition  has  been  accounted  for as a  purchase,  with the  excess  of the
purchase  price  over the fair  value of the net assets  acquired  allocated  to
goodwill.  Goodwill  will be amortized  over 40 years.  The assets were acquired
through the Company's newly formed wholly- owned  subsidiary,  Safety Components
Fabric Technologies, Inc., which will be the operating entity on a going forward
basis.

     On July 24, 1997, the Company issued (the  "offering")  $90.0 million of 10
1/8% Senior  Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due July 15, 2007. Interest on the
Notes  will  accrue  from July 24,  1997 and will be  payable  semi-annually  in
arrears on each of January 15 and July 15 of each year,  commencing  January 15,
1998.  The Notes are general  unsecured  obligations  of the Company and will be
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior  Indebtedness
and to all existing and future  indebtedness of the Company's  subsidiaries that
are not  Guarantors.  All of the  Company's  direct  and  indirect  wholly-owned
domestic  subsidiaries are Guarantors.  A substantial portion of the proceeds of
the Notes were used by the  Company  to  purchase  JPS,  repay the term loan and
amounts  outstanding under the revolving credit facility with KeyBank as of July
24, 1997 and pay certain fees and expenses  associated  with the  acquisition of
JPS and the  Notes.  The  balance  of the  proceeds  will be used to  purchase a
building  adjacent to facility  acquired in the JPS  acquisition and for working

capital and general corporate  purposes.  The Company estimates that it incurred
approximately  $3.3 million of fees and expenses  related to the Offering.  Such
fees will be deferred and amortized over the expected term of the Notes,  not to
exceed 10 years.

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

Results of Operations:


FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     NET SALES.  Net sales  increased by $11.5 million or 70.8% to $27.6 million
for the first  quarter  of fiscal  year 1998  compared  to the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1997.  The increase was primarily  attributable  to increased  sales
volume in  Europe  attributable  to the  acquisition  of  Phoenix  Airbag  which
contributed  approximately $10.1 million.  Phoenix Airbag was acquired on August
5, 1996 and included in the  Company's  entire first quarter of fiscal year 1998
whereas in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 Phoenix Airbag had not yet been
acquired.  The remaining increase was due to the addition of Valentec during the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  1998  offset  by lower  sales  in the  defense
operations  due to delays in the current  contract  schedule  for the  Company's
systems contract with the U.S. Army.

     GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross  profit  increased  by $3.1 million or 118.7% to $5.7
million for the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998 compared to the first quarter
of fiscal year 1997. The increase was primarily  attributable to increased sales
volume in Europe due to the  acquisition of Phoenix  Airbag,  which  contributed
approximately $2.9 million to gross profit.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to approximately  20.5% for
the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 from 16.1% for the first quarter of fiscal
year 1997. The increase as a percentage was due to the greater  contribution  to
gross profit by Phoenix Airbag,  which has a higher gross margin percentage than
the remainder operations due to automation. 

     SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSES.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses increased by $1.3 million or 156.3% to $2.2 million for
the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998  compared to the first  quarter of fiscal
year 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the automotive operations.
With the  addition  of  Phoenix  Airbag,  the new Czech  Republic  facility  and
Valentec, costs increased approximately $660,000. The remaining increase was due
to  a  combination   of  additional   costs   incurred  in  the  North  American
manufacturing   operations  and  corporate   services.   Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 7.8% for
the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998 from 5.2% for the first quarter of fiscal
year 1997.

     OPERATING  INCOME.  Operating income increased by $1.6 million or 109.7% to
$3.0  million for the first  quarter of fiscal  year 1998  compared to the first
quarter  of fiscal  year  1997.  Operating  income  from  Automotive  operations
increased by $1.3 million  primarily  attributable to the acquisition of Phoenix
Airbag and Valentec.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased  $513,000 to $523,000 for the
first  quarter of fiscal year 1998  compared to the first quarter of fiscal year
1997.  This  increase  was a  direct  result  of the  term  loan  used  for  the
acquisition  of  Phoenix  Airbag  and  borrowings  under  the  revolving  credit
facility.  The increase of other expense is primarily  attributable to losses on
foreign currency transactions.

                                       11

     INCOME TAXES.  The income tax rate applied against pre-tax income was 40.0%
for the first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  1998  compared  to 37.8% for the first
quarter of fiscal year 1997.  The tax rate  increased  as compared to prior year
due to the increasing  percentage of income generated from European  operations,
which have higher tax rates than U.S. operations.

     NET INCOME.  Net income  increased to $1.4 million for the first quarter of
fiscal year 1998 compared to $853,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.
This increase is a result of the items discussed above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As  the  Company's  business  grows,  its  equipment  and  working  capital
requirements  will also  continue  to  increase  as a result of the  anticipated
growth of the  automotive  operations.  This  growth  will be  funded  through a
combination of cash flow from operations,  equipment financing, revolving credit
borrowings and the proceeds from potential future Company public offerings.

     As of May 21,  1997,  the Company,  Phoenix  Airbag and  Automotive  Safety
Components  International  Limited ("ASCIL" and  collectively,  the "Borrowers")
entered  into  the  Credit  Agreement  with  KeyBank  National  Association,  as
administrative  agent  ("KeyBank"),  and the lending  institutions named therein
(the "Credit Agreement").  Prior to the consummation of the offering, the Credit
Agreement  provided for (i) a term loan in the principal amount of $15.0 million
(the  "Term  Loan")  and  (ii) a  revolving  credit  facility  in the  aggregate
principal amount of $12.0 million (including letter of credit  facilities).  The
indebtedness  under the Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate equal to either
(i) the greater of KeyBank's  prime rate or (ii) the sum of LIBOR plus 1.00% for
term loans (and 1.25% for  revolving  loans,  subject to reduction to 1.00% upon
consummation  of the  offering  so long as no default or event of default  shall
have occurred and be continuing).  Upon the  consummation  of the Offering,  the
Company  used the  proceeds  thereof  to repay  the Term Loan and  amounts  then
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.  In connection  therewith,  the
Company's  credit  facility  with  KeyBank was  converted  into a $27.0  million
revolving  credit  facility,  bearing  interest  at  LIBOR  plus  1.00%  with  a
commitment  fee of 0.25% for any unused  portion,  with the remaining  terms and
conditions being similar to the previous revolving credit facility.  The Company
incurred approximately $200,000 of financing fees in connection with the KeyBank
credit  facility.  The  indebtedness  under the Credit  Agreement  is secured by
substantially  all the  assets of the  Company.  The Credit  Agreement  contains
certain restrictive  covenants that impose limitations upon, among other things,
the Company's ability to change its business;  merge,  consolidate or dispose of
assets;  incur  liens;  make  loans and  investments;  incur  indebtedness;  pay
dividends  and  other   distributions;   engage  in  certain  transactions  with
affiliates;  engage  in sale  and  lease-back  transactions;  enter  into  lease
agreements; and make capital expenditures.

         Net cash generated from  operations  were $2.1 million during the first
quarter of fiscal year 1998. Cash used by investing activities was $5.9 million.
Cash used for capital  expenditures  were $1.8  million.  The Company  also paid
additional costs and consideration in connection with the acquisition of Phoenix
Airbag,  which was  primarily  the $2.2 million  earn-out  accrued at the end of
fiscal year 1997. In addition,  the Company incurred certain costs in connection
with  the  acquisitions  of  Valentec  and  JPS of  approximately  $342,000  and
$163,000,  respectively.  The Company  also made  advances to Valentec  prior to
acquisition  for the purpose of funding  operations.  Net cash used by financing
activities  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  year 1998 was $5.5  million.  Cash
proceeds from financing activities were used to repay certain liabilities of the
newly acquired  Valentec and repay the term loan and revolving  credit  facility
with Bank of America  National Trust and Savings  Association.  These activities
resulted  in a net  decrease  in cash of $5.5  million  in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1998.

                                       12

     Capital  expenditures were $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
1998. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 were used to
construct  the new  facility  in the  Czech  Republic,  and the  acquisition  of
additional  equipment to expand the  Company's  production  capacity  worldwide.

     The above  discussion may contain  forward-looking  statements that involve
risks  and  uncertainties,   including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  impact  of
competitive  products and pricing,  product demand and market  condition  risks,
costs associated with integration and administration of acquired operations, the
timing of  introduction  of new  models  of  automobiles  for which the  Company
manufactures  airbags,  changes in  consumer  vehicle  preferences,  major labor
disputes in the  automotive  industry,  changes in the  strategic  direction  of
defense  spending,  the ability of a subcontractor of the Company to resolve its
disputes  with the U.S.  Army,  the timing of defense  procurement  and specific
defense program appropriation decisions.
