The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. 5 OYO GEOSPACE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated balance sheet of OYO Geospace Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at September 30, 2000, has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2001, and the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000. The Company has embarked on a long-term project to develop a deepwater seabed seismic array. The Company does not recognize revenue until such projects are completed and in-service; therefore, progress payments are classified as deferred revenue until completion of the project. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1998. SFAS 133 requires the Company to record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in derivative fair values will either be recognized in earnings as offsets to the changes in fair value of related hedged assets, liabilities and firm commitments or for forecasted transactions, deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in earnings. The Company purchases printheads from OYO Corporation (a Japanese corporation and the Company's ultimate parent) whereby such purchases are denominated in Japanese Yen. The Company routinely attempts to hedge its currency exposure on these purchases by entering into foreign currency forward contracts with a bank. The purpose of entering into these forward hedge contracts is to eliminate all variability of cash flows associated with foreign currency exposure risk on amounts payable in Japanese Yen. Because both the settlement dates and notional amounts on the forward contracts are always identical to the settlement dates and payable balances, respectively, the Company considers such forward contracts to be highly effective in that they eliminate all variability of cash flows on payables denominated in Yen. Under SFAS No. 133 and related interpretations, the Company's forward contracts with the bank are considered derivatives. SFAS No. 133, which is effective for the Company's fiscal year 2001, requires that the Company record these foreign currency forward contracts on the balance sheet and mark them to fair value at each reporting date. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS 141") and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment; reviews may be more frequent if impairment is indicated. Intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives; however, no maximum life applies. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 142 effective October 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of the provisions of SFAS 142 will have on its results of operations and financial position. The total amount of goodwill, net of amortization, at June 30, 2001 was $2.0 million. 6 OYO GEOSPACE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION The acquisition of EcoPRO in February 2001 expanded the Company's worldwide distribution of products for the commercial graphics industry. As a result, the Company has begun reporting information for two segments: Seismic and Commercial Graphics. In April 2001, the Company announced a reorganization of its European subsidiary; thereby shifting the marketing emphasis from its seismic products to the growing success of its commercial graphics products. As a result, the Company now includes this subsidiary within its Commercial Graphics segment. The Commercial Graphics segment primarily sells products for the commercial graphics industry; however, it also has some minor sales of seismic products. The seismic product lines currently consist of geophones and hydrophones, including multi-component geophones and hydrophones, seismic leader wire, geophone string connectors, seismic telemetry cable, high definition reservoir characterization products and services, marine seismic cable retrieval devices and small data acquisition systems targeted at niche markets. Commercial graphic products include thermal imaging products and dry film. The following tables summarize the Company's segment information:

9. LINE OF CREDIT In February 2001, the Company obtained from Southwest Bank of Texas (the "Bank") a $10.0 million working capital line of credit (the "Credit Agreement") that expires in February 2002. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to borrowing base restrictions based on (i) consolidated net income plus consolidated interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (ii) levels of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. The Credit Agreement limits additional indebtedness, requires the maintenance of certain financial amounts and contains other covenants customary in agreements of this type. As of June 30, 2001 there were borrowings of $0.2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $9.0 million. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of OYO Geospace Corporation should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes related thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW We design and manufacture instruments and equipment used in the acquisition and processing of seismic data for the oil and gas industry and for the commercial graphics industry. Seismic We have been in the seismic instrument and equipment business since 1980, marketing our products primarily to the oil and gas industry worldwide. Geoscientists use seismic data to map potential or existing oil and gas bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them. Seismic data is used primarily in connection with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. Seismic data acquisition is conducted on land in several stages. First, an energy source imparts seismic waves into the earth, reflections of which are received and measured by geophones and hydrophones. Electrical signals generated by the geophones and hydrophones are then transmitted through leader wire, geophone and hydrophone string connectors and telemetric cable to data collection units, which store information for processing and analysis. Seismic thermal imaging products are output devices used in the field or office to create a graphic representation of the seismic data after it has been acquired. Marine seismic data acquisition is conducted primarily by large ocean-going vessels that tow long seismic cables known as "streamers". Usually, the energy source in marine seismic data acquisition is an airgun, and the reflected seismic waves are received and measured by hydrophones, which are attached to the streamers. The streamers then transmit the electrical impulses back to the vessel via telemetric cable included within the streamers, and the seismic data is then processed in much the same manner as it is for land data. It is estimated that one-to two-thirds of the reserves associated with every discovery will be left behind in the reservoir, not able to be recovered economically or at times even identified. Reservoir characterization and management programs, in which the reservoir is carefully imaged and monitored throughout the life of the field, are now seen as a vital tool for improving rates of return. Surveys repeated in time showing dynamic changes within the reservoir can be used to monitor the effects of production. We are developing and marketing a suite of borehole and deepwater reservoir characterization products and services targeted at this market. We expect to incur significant future research and development expenditures aimed at the development of additional seismic acquisition products and services used for high definition reservoir characterization for use in both land and marine environments. Orders for our products have always had the potential to vary substantially from quarter to quarter, with variations in timing impacting our operating results and cash flow, manufacturing capability and expense levels in any given quarter. Reservoir characterization projects, especially deepwater projects, contemplate more equipment over a greater period of time than is typically associated with conventional surface seismic systems. Revenue and expense recognition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for these large-scale projects has the potential to produce strong fluctuations in quarterly performance. 10 Commercial Graphics Our commercial graphics business segment developed over time as we leveraged our thermal imaging product technology, originally designed for seismic data processing applications, into new markets. With minor product modifications, we were successful in adapting these products for use in the commercial graphics industry. We recently expanded this segment by acquiring a thermal film distribution business and by reorganizing the marketing focus of our European subsidiary. Our commercial graphics segment manufactures and sells thermal imaging products and dry film primarily to the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile market sectors. Results of Operations In February 2001, we acquired the operating assets and business of EcoPRO Imaging Corporation ("EcoPRO"). This acquisition expanded our worldwide distribution of products for the commercial graphics industry. As a result of the EcoPRO acquisition, we are reporting information for two segments: Seismic and Commercial Graphics. Summary financial data by business segment follows:

OVERVIEW Fiscal Year 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year 2000. Consolidated sales for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001 increased $2.9 million, or 22.2%, and $7.0 million, or 17.2%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales was due to an increase in demand for our seismic products as well as additional commercial graphics product sales resulting from the EcoPRO acquisition. Consolidated gross profits for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $3.5 million, or 168.9%, and $5.1 million, or 47.3%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior year. The higher gross profits were realized from both our seismic and commercial graphics business segments. Compared to the prior year periods, gross profits have improved primarily because the prior year periods reflect the impact of a highly competitive bid on a large land-based seismic equipment order. Furthermore, current year sales contain a higher mix of marine-based seismic products, which historically have higher gross profit margins. Consolidated operating expenses for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001 increased $0.5 million, or 12.3%, and $2.0 million, or 16.6%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. 11 The increase primarily resulted from increased costs associated with new personnel, sales and marketing efforts, information technology upgrades and costs associated with the EcoPRO acquisition. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 1.6% compared to a benefit of 33.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 was 18.4% compared to a benefit of 37.3% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The tax rates of the current year periods each include a tax benefit of $0.2 million due to the resolution of contingent tax matters as well as other adjustments relating to prior years. Excluding these benefits, our effective tax rate would be 33.2% and 30.0% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. SEISMIC Our seismic product lines currently consist of geophones and hydrophones, including multi-component geophones and hydrophones, seismic leader wire, geophone string connectors, seismic telemetry cable, high definition reservoir characterization products and services, marine seismic cable retrieval devices and small data acquisition systems targeted at niche markets. Revenue Sales of our seismic products for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001 increased $2.1 million, or 21.3%, and $8.0 million, or 27.2%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increases in seismic product sales primarily resulted from the increase in sales of both our land-based and marine-based products due to increasing worldwide oil and gas exploration activities. Operating Income Operating income for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001 increased $3.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively from the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in operating income primarily resulted from increased gross profits associated with increased sales. During the comparable period of the prior year, a highly competitive bid on a large land- based seismic equipment order resulted in lower gross profits. The improved gross profits were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. COMMERCIAL GRAPHICS Our commercial graphics products include thermal imaging equipment capable of producing data images ranging in size from 12 to 54 inches wide. In addition, we also distribute dry thermal film and related products to our customers. Revenue Sales of our commercial graphics products for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $0.7 million, or 25.3% from the corresponding period of the prior year. Such increase is primarily due to increased dry thermal film sales resulting from the EcoPRO acquisition. Sales of our commercial graphics products for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 decreased $1.0 million, or 9.2%, from the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in sales is primarily a result of a decline in thermal imaging equipment sales, although these sales were partially offset by increased sales of our dry thermal film products resulting from the EcoPRO acquisition. Operating Income (Loss) The operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased by $65,000, or 98.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to increased film sales as a result of the EcoPRO acquisition. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, decreased $1.3 million, or 109.3%, from the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in operating income primarily resulted from a decline in thermal imaging equipment sales. 12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2001, we had $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. For the nine months ended June 30, 2001, we generated approximately $2.3 million of cash in operating activities principally resulting from our net income adjusted for noncash expenses, an increase of $4.9 million in deferred revenue from a deepwater seabed seismic array project offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories, of which approximately $5.8 million represents new inventory associated with a project to develop a deepwater seabed seismic array. For the nine months ended June 30, 2001, we used approximately $5.0 million of cash in investing activities, primarily related to capital expenditures and the EcoPRO acquisition. We estimate that our capital expenditures in fiscal 2001 will be approximately $5.0 million, which we expect to fund through operating cash flows and borrowings under our credit facility. For the nine months ended June 30, 2001, we generated approximately $0.4 million of cash from financing activities primarily resulting from the proceeds received for the exercise of stock options. In February 2001, we obtained from Southwest Bank of Texas (the "Bank") a $10.0 million working capital line of credit (the "Credit Agreement") that expires in February 2002. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to borrowing base restrictions based on (i) consolidated net income plus consolidated interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (ii) levels of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. The Credit Agreement limits additional indebtedness, requires the maintenance of certain financial amounts and contains other covenants customary in agreements of this type. As of June 30, 2001 there were borrowings of $0.2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $9.0 million. We believe that the combination of existing cash reserves, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our existing credit facility should provide us sufficient capital resources and liquidity to fund our planned operations through fiscal 2001. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISKS This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking" statements which are subject to the "safe harbor" provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact included herein, including statements about potential future products and markets, our future financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward- looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000 under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements and Risks", which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Further, all written and verbal forward- looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. Our New Products May Not Achieve Market Acceptance. In recent years, we have incurred significant expenditures to fund our research and development efforts and we intend to continue those expenditures in the future. However, research and development is by its nature speculative, and we cannot assure you that these expenditures will result in the development of new products or services or that any new products and services we have developed recently or may develop in the future will be commercially marketable or profitable to us. In particular, we have incurred substantial expenditures to develop our recently introduced HDSeis(TM) product line. We cannot assure you that we will realize our expectations regarding market acceptance and revenues from these products and services. 13 We May Experience Fluctuations in Quarterly Results of Operations. Historically, the rate of new orders for our products has varied substantially from quarter to quarter. Moreover, we typically operate, and expect to continue to operate, on the basis of orders in hand for our products before we commence substantial manufacturing "runs"; hence, the completion of orders, particularly large orders for deepwater reservoir characterization projects, can significantly impact the operating results and cash flow for any quarter, and results of operations for any one quarter may not be indicative of results of operations for future quarters. Our Customer Financing Results in Credit Risks to Us. We have found it necessary from time to time to extend long-term trade credit to our customers through accounts and notes receivable. As a result, we are subject to the credit risks of nonpayment or late payment. Given current industry conditions, some of our customers may experience liquidity difficulties, which increases those credit risks. We cannot assure you that sufficient aggregate amounts of uncollectible receivables and bad debt charges will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations. At June 30, 2001, our bad debt allowance was $0.6 million. We systematically adjust this allowance each month to reflect the estimated credit risk associated with our trade accounts and notes receivable. We base this adjustment on the level of past due accounts and notes receivable, customer creditworthiness, past payment history, access to underlying collateral and other factors. Although we believe this allowance is a fair representation of the credit risk with respect to our outstanding receivables, we cannot assure you that this allowance will be adequate to cover every potential bad debt exposure. 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
