NOTE 3 - DEBT:

         The Company's Senior Credit Agreement, as amended by the Modification
         Agreements executed in February, April, June and July of 1999, provided
         for a revolving line of credit up to the lesser of $25,000,000 or the
         Revolving Line of Credit Borrowing Base (as defined) until August 31,
         1999 or the date in which the outstanding principal balance is reduced
         below $20,000,000 from proceeds received from the issuance of junior
         capital, at which time the revolving line of credit is adjusted to the
         lesser of $20,000,000 or the Revolving Line of Credit Borrowing Base
         (as defined).

NOTE 4 - REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK:

         On March 29, 1999, the Company completed a private placement to an
         accredited investor of $7.5 million of the Company's Series A
         Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A"). Under the terms of this
         offering the Series A bears a dividend rate of 6% per annum payable
         quarterly in cash, or in stock that will be valued at 90% of fair
         market value at the time of payment. The Series A may be converted into
         shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time at 101% of the average
         closing price of any 15 out of the 30 consecutive trading days
         preceding conversion, up to a specified maximum conversion price (the
         "Conversion Cap"). The Conversion Cap for the first twelve months is
         $8.60 per share and is subject to an annual adjustment to the lesser of
         the then existing Conversion Cap or 130% of the average of the closing
         bid prices for 20 consecutive trading days immediately proceeding the
         annual adjustment anniversary date. Conversion of the Series A is
         limited to 10% of the initial amount per month, accumulating monthly up
         to a maximum of 30% of the accumulated convertible amount in any month.
         The Company may require the conversion of the Series A if the market
         price of the Company's Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Cap by at
         least 50% for at least 20 consecutive trading days, subject to the same
         conversion limitations imposed upon the Series A holders.

         Series A Preferred Stock is subject to a mandatory redemption of the
         remaining outstanding shares on May 1, 2004 at which time the Company
         is required to redeem all such shares at the greater of 130% of the
         preferred

         stock stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends, or the average of
         the closing bid prices on the ten consecutive trading days immediately
         preceding the redemption date. The holders of the Company's Series A
         Preferred Stock have the option to require the Company to redeem all or
         a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal
         to 105% of the preferred stock stated value plus accrued and unpaid
         dividends if the Company consolidates or merges with or into another
         company.

         In May 1999, $750,000 of Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued
         dividends of $6,904 were exchanged for 157,361 shares of the Company's
         common stock.

NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

         In 1998, the Company's board of directors adopted a plan to dispose of
         its rail and mass transit seating operations. Accordingly, the
         operating results of these rail and mass transit operations, including
         a provision for estimated loss upon disposition, have been segregated
         from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations.
         Due to the subjective nature of estimated future operations and
         incremental costs of disposal, it is reasonably possible that these
         estimates may change in the future. Future changes in estimates will be
         included in the consolidated statement of operations in the reporting
         period determined.

         Revenues for the rail and mass transit operations were $3,659,473 and
         $3,271,808 for the three months ended June 31, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively and were $7,054,816 and $8,733,332 for the six months
         ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest expense has been
         allocated to discontinued operations based on the ratio of the
         discontinued operations' net assets to consolidated net assets. General
         corporate administrative expenses are not allocated to discontinued
         operations.

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT REPORTING

         The Company is a holding company for wholly owned subsidiaries which
         operate in two business segments. The Commercial Transportation
         Products segment includes operations which primarily manufacture
         seating systems for domestic and foreign passenger airlines and
         includes operations encompassing inflatable restraints and related
         technology for automobiles. The Government and Defense segment includes
         operations that design and manufacture crash resistant components,
         energy absorbing devices, ballistic armor and composites principally in
         connection with branches of the United States armed forces procurement.
         The remaining segment, entitled Other, represents general corporate
         operations.

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:

         The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
         basic and diluted earnings per share computations. Earnings per share
         amounts are calculated using only weighted average shares outstanding.
         For the three month period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the six
         month period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 diluted earnings per share
         does not include the effects of options to purchase common stock and
         shares to be issued upon conversion of the Company's 8% Senior

         Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes (the "10% Notes") of 5,179,784,

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

GENERAL - The following discussion and analysis provides information that
management of Simula, Inc. (the "Company") believes is relevant to an assessment
and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same
periods in 1998. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and
information. The cautionary statements contained below should be read as being
applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear. See
"Forward Looking Information and Risks of the Business."

OVERVIEW

         The Company designs and manufactures occupant safety systems and
devices engineered to safeguard human life in a wide range of air and ground
transportation vehicles. Utilizing its substantial proprietary technology in
energy-absorbing seating, inflatable restraints, and composite materials, the
Company focuses on reducing injury and increasing survivability in vehicle and
aircraft crashes.

         The Company is a holding company for wholly owned subsidiaries which
operate in two business segments. The Commercial Transportation Products segment
includes operations which primarily manufacture seating systems for domestic and
foreign passenger airlines and operations producing inflatable restraints and
related safety technologies for automobiles. The Government and Defense segment
includes operations that design and manufacture crash resistant seats and
components, energy absorbing devices, and ballistic armor, principally in
connection with United States armed forces procurement. The remaining segment,
entitled Other, represents general corporate operations.

         Since its founding in 1975, the Company's historic business has been as
a government and defense contractor. Additionally, commencing with acquisitions
and commercial products development since 1993, the Company has become the
largest North American-based supplier of seating systems for rail and other mass
transit vehicles and a successful new entrant in the manufacture of new
commercial airliner seating and inflatable restraints for automobiles. Utilizing
its proprietary safety technology, the Company has introduced crashworthy
systems for a variety of vehicles and aircraft including its 16g commercial
airliner passenger seat ("16g Seat") and various inflatable restraint systems
for automobiles including the Inflatable Tubular Structure ("ITS(R)").

         Management made a strategic decision to enter the commercial aircraft
seating market to bring its proprietary energy-absorbing technologies to a new
industry and take advantage of positive industry trends in 1993. To implement
its decision, the Company completed three acquisitions that allowed it to
develop the necessary infrastructure to support future growth. In August 1993,
the Company acquired Airline Interiors, Inc. (the "Airline Acquisition"), which
was primarily involved with the refurbishment, reupholstery, reconditioning, and
reconfiguring of existing passenger seats. The Airline Acquisition provided
certain FAA certifications, enhanced the Company's management team and customer
base, and provided substantial assembly capacity. During 1994, the Company
acquired Coach & Car Equipment Corporation ("Coach and Car") and Artcraft
Industries Corp. ("Artcraft"). The acquisitions of Coach and Car and Artcraft
are collectively referred to as the 1994 Acquisitions. The 1994 Acquisitions'
existing operations included providing a majority of all manufacturing and
refurbishment of rail and mass transit seating systems in North America. The
1994 Acquisitions provided the Company with substantial large-scale
manufacturing capacity and synergies utilized in the production of its 16g Seat
for airliners.

         In 1994, the Company made a strategic decision to enter the inflatable
restraint market for automobiles utilizing its proprietary technology, the ITS.
Through 1996, the Company completed its development of this technology and
start-up of its manufacturing facilities. In 1997, the Company began
manufacturing the ITS(R) for sale to BMW, a major European automobile
manufacturer, which began including it in certain models of its automobiles in
1997.

         To continue it's strategic plan, in 1998 the Company adopted a plan to
sell its rail and mass transit seating operations at Coach and Car and Artcraft.
Because the Company's commercial airliner seating operation moved into a new
significantly larger facility in July 1998 and has established substantial
production, the rail operations are no longer required to demonstrate the
Company's production capabilities to current and potential airliner seating
customers. In addition, the larger airliner seating manufacturing facility
reduced the synergies achieved previously with the rail and mass transit seating
operation. The sale of these rail seating businesses will provide cash that will
be used to repay outstanding indebtedness. The company anticipates it will sell
these operations as ongoing businesses. These companies will continue their
marketing, sales and manufacturing activities pending the sale. The company's
rail and mass transit seating operations are reported as discontinued
operations.

                                  SIMULA, INC.

         Simula's revenue has historically been derived from three sources:
sales of Company manufactured products; contract research and development for
third parties; and technology sales and royalties. A substantial portion of its
current revenue from the government and defense segment is 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
yields 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 FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to 1998

         Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 32% to $34.0
million from $25.7 million for the comparable period in 1998. Revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 37% to $66.0 million from $48.3 million
for the comparable period in 1998. The increases in revenue are attributable to
both of the Company's business segments. Commercial Transportation Products
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 33% to $23.6 million
from $17.7 million and for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 increased
36% to $43.7 million from $32.1 million for the comparable periods in 1998. The
Commercial Transportation Products revenue increases are due to increased
deliveries of ITS(R) and 16g Seats. Government and Defense revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 increased 27% to $10.3 million from $8.1 million and
for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 increased 36% to $22.1 million from
$16.2 million for the comparable periods in 1998. The increase in Government and
Defense revenue is attributable to increased overall contracts and the timing of
material costs incurred on contracts.

         Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 33% to
$8.9 million from $6.7 million and for the six months ended June 30, 1999
increased 38% to $17.4 million from $12.6 million for the comparable period in
1998. Gross margin as a percent of sales for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 remained consistent with the comparable 1998 periods in each of the
Company's segments. Commercial Transportation Products gross margin for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 30% to $5.3 million from $4.1 million
and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 34% to $10.5 million from
$7.8 million for the comparable periods in 1998. Government and Defense gross
margin increased 30% to $3.4 million from $2.6 million and for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 increased 40% to $6.7 million from $4.8 million for the
comparable periods in 1998. The increase in gross margin is attributable to the
increase in revenue noted above.

         Administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999
increased 27% to $5.9 million from $4.7 million and for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and increased 32% to $12.0 million from $9.1 million for the
comparable periods in 1998. Commercial Transportation Products administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 68% to $3.1 million
from $1.9 million and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 52% to
$5.9 million from $3.9 million for the comparable periods in 1998. The increases
in Commercial Transportation Products administrative expenses is attributable to
an increased support structure required to support revenue growth. Commercial
Transportation Products administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 was 13.3% and 13.5%,
respectively, as compared to 10.5% and 12.1% for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998, respectively. Government and Defense administrative
expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 decreased 3% to $2.3
million from $2.4 million for the comparable 1998 period and is principally
related to a decrease in efforts related to internally funded research and
development due to increased demand of technical resources applied to third
party contracts. Government and Defense administrative expenses for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 increased 14% to $5.0 million from $4.4 million
for the comparable period in 1998 and is principally related to increases during
the first quarter of internally funded research and development and
pre-production parachute costs. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
was 22.1% and 22.7% for the three and six month period ended June 30, 1999 as
compared to 29.0% and 27.1% in the comparable 1998 period.

         Interest expense increased 46% to $1.7 million from $1.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and increased 42%
to $3.4 million from $2.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily
attributable to increased outstanding borrowing.

         The effective income tax rate for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 approximated the Company's combined statutory rate of
40%.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         In 1998, the Company's board of directors adopted a plan to dispose of
its rail and mass transit seating operations. Accordingly, the operating results
of these rail and mass transit operations, including a provision for estimated
loss upon disposition, have been segregated from continuing operations and are
reported as discontinued operations. Due to the subjective nature of estimated
future operations and incremental costs of disposal, it is reasonably possible
that these estimates may change in the future. Future changes in estimates will
be included in the consolidated statement of operations in the reporting period
determined.

         On June 30, 1999, the Company executed a definitive purchase agreement
with a third party for the sale of the rail and mass transit operations. Under
the terms of the agreement, the total purchase price is $10.0 million. The
agreement requires the buyer to assume all liabilities, to deposit nonrefundable
earnest money and calls for a closing date no later than July 30, 1999. The
buyer paid the earnest money but was unable to meet the July 30, 1999 closing
date because it is relying upon funds from a lender, which is currently
completing final due diligence and loan approval. The company is cooperating
with the third party and it's lender to complete the transaction in an
expeditious manner. Depending upon the level of funding the buyer will receive
from it's lender, the Company may modify the June 30, 1999 definitive agreement
to extend the closing date and to adjust the amount of cash to be received by
the Company at closing, with the balance represented by a note from the buyer.
Although the Company has continued to cooperate with the third party buyer, it
has also entered into discussions with two other buyer groups. Under the terms
of the June 30 definitive purchase agreement, Management of the Company does not
believe an additional provision for loss on disposal of its discontinued
operation will be required.

         Revenues for the rail and mass transit operations were $3,659,473 and
$3,271,808 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and
$7,054,816 and $8,733,332 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's ability to fund working capital requirements and meet
debt service requirements during the next year will be dependent upon improved
cash flow from operating units, the proceeds received from the sale of its
discontinued operations to repay indebtedness and increase availability of funds
under its Senior Credit Agreement, and obtaining replacement financing of $4.8
million in its 10% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "10% Notes") due September 15,
1999. Anticipated cash proceeds related to the sale of the company's
discontinued operation should be sufficient to satisfy the Company's obligation
to reduce its revolving line of credit borrowing base under its Senior Credit
Agreement. In addition, the Company believes it will secure replacement
financing of the $4.8 million due on its 10% Notes in order to meet its
repayment obligation under these notes. The Company's ability to fund working
capital requirements after the Revolving Line of Credit borrowing base is
adjusted to $20 million on August 31, 1999 is primarily dependent upon its
ability to generate the necessary funds from its operating units. The Company is
investigating a number of financing alternatives including additional potential
strategic asset and technology sales licensing and financing, and negotiated
increases to its revolving line of credit borrowing base in order to improve its
liquidity position. The Company may also, however, seek to obtain additional
capital should demand for its products exceed current capacity. The raising of
additional capital in public or private markets will be primarily dependent upon
prevailing market conditions and demand for the Company's technologies and
products.

         The Company's liquidity is impacted by the nature of the billing
provisions under its 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 and trade receivables, net of advances on contracts, increased
approximately $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 due
principally to increased receivables from 16g Seat and ITS sales and the timing
of billing provisions on certain Government and Defense contracts.

         Operating activities required the use of $9.5 million of cash during
the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the use of $6.5 million of cash
during the same period in 1998. Cash used by operating activities in the 1999
period was primarily used to increase accounts receivable (discussed above) and
inventories and funding of discontinued operations current operating losses and
increase in net assets. The increase in inventories was primarily due to an
increase in 16g Seat inventory necessary to support anticipated future
deliveries and inventories in the Government and Defense segment primarily
related to timing of material deliveries.

         Investing activities provided $1.2 million of cash during the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to use of $2.9 million of cash during the
same period in 1998. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is
primarily due to net proceeds of $2.9 million received under a sale and
leaseback of a subsidiary office and development facility and of the sale of
certain technology intangibles, inventory and related production equipment. The
1999 cash proceeds received was partially offset by $1.4 million in purchases of
various production equipment as compared to equipment purchases of $2.9 million
during

                                  SIMULA, INC.

the comparable period in 1998. The decrease in equipment purchases is due to a
higher level of investing in additional production capacity in the company's
Commercial Transportation Products segment to meet increased demand for the 16g
Seat and the ITS during the 1998 period.

         Financing activities provided $9.8 million of cash during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $6.4 million during the comparable
period in 1998. Cash provided from financing activities during the 1999 period
includes $7.5 million received for the issuance of redeemable preferred stock
and $3.7 million in net borrowings under the Company's line of credit partially
offset by principal payments under other debt arrangements for scheduled
principal reductions. Cash provided from financing activities during the 1998
period includes $7.1 million in net borrowing under the Company's line of credit
partially offset by principal payments under other debt arrangements for
scheduled principal reductions.

         In April 1999, the Senior Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the
Company's revolving line of credit from the lesser of $26 million or the
Revolving Line of Credit Borrowing Base (as defined) to the lesser of $23
million or the Revolving Line of Credit Borrowing Base (as defined). In June and
July 1999, the Senior Credit Agreement was amended to increase the revolving
line of credit from $23 million to $25 million and extend the date at which time
the revolving line of credit is reduced to $20 million from July 31, 1999 to
August 31, 1999. At August 16, 1999, under the line of credit the Company had
available borrowing of $25 million and outstanding borrowing of $22.9 million.


INFLATION

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

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         The Company's research and development occurs under fixed-price,
government-funded contracts and Company-sponsored efforts. Historically,
research and development efforts have fluctuated based upon available
government-funded contracts and available Company funding. The Company
anticipates that future fluctuations may also occur as a result of efforts to
expand its inflatable restraint, commercial airliner and helicopter seating, and
other technologies.

SEASONALITY

         The Company does not believe that it is currently significantly
impacted by seasonal factors.

YEAR 2000 MATTERS

Background

         The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define an applicable year. Any computer
programs or equipment that have time-sensitive software or embedded chips may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions in
commerce, including among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

         The Company employs a number of information technology ("IT") systems
in its operations, including computer networking systems, hardware and software,
financial systems, and other similar systems. The Company also employs a number
of non-IT devices such as building security and safety devices, and other
devices containing embedded electronic circuits. Both IT systems and non-IT
devices are subject to potential failure due to the Year 2000 issue.

The Company's Year 2000 Plan

         In 1996, the Company initiated a plan for the conversion from existing
accounting software to new state-of-the-art, Year 2000-compliant, manufacturing
and accounting systems at each of its operating companies. That conversion is
part of an overall plan (the "Year 2000 Plan") the Company has developed to
achieve Year 2000 readiness. The Year 2000 Plan is intended to remediate the
Year 2000 issue in all categories of systems and electronic devices in use by
the Company, including IT and non-IT devices, so that the Company may continue
its operations without interruption or with minimal disruption. The Year 2000
Plan also includes communication with critical third parties such as customers,
vendors and other business partners to determine the expected degree of Year
2000 compliance of those parties and to

monitor their progress toward Year 2000 readiness. The Year 2000 Plan includes
the following phases: 1) assessment, 2) remediation, 3) testing, and 4)
implementation.

         The Company is in the remediation phase with regard to its state of
readiness relative to non-IT devices containing embedded circuitry. The Company
is in the process of communicating with the manufacturers of non-IT devices
containing embedded circuitry and to date has fully assessed (confirmed that
such devices are Year 2000 compliant or upgraded the devices as needed)
approximately 90% of such devices. The assessed devices are in various stages of
remediation, testring and implementation. Completion thru implementation is
expected during the third quarter of 1999.

         The Company is also in the assessment phase with regard to third
parties with which the Company has a material relationship. In connection with
this assessment, the Company has appointed a Year 2000 Program Manager at each
of its subsidiaries, and has made or is making written inquiries of its
customers and suppliers. This process is not yet complete. While the Company has
not been made aware of any problems that would materially impact the Company's
operations, there can be no assurance that one or more material third parties
will not have Year 2000 problems that materially impact the Company's business
in some fashion. Various agencies of the U.S. government and military branches
of the U.S. armed forces are significant customers of the Company. As of the
date of this report, the Company has received conflicting data as to the state
of any of such customers' Year 2000 readiness. Therefore, the Company is unsure
at this time the extent, if any, that any entity of the U.S. government with
whom the Company has a material relationship will have internal Year 2000 issues
which may materially impact the Company's business.

         The Company continues to be in the implementation phase with regard to
its IT systems. As of the date of this report, the Company has one subsidiary
using accounting and manufacturing systems significantly affected by the Year
2000 issue. This subsidiary is currently in the remediation phase and completion
thru implementation is expected by November 1999.

         Selection of a remediation tool set for desktop personal computers and
servers was completed in February 1999. The tool was implemented in June 1999
and results are beign used to remediate Year 2000 deficiencies highlighted by
its application.

         In addition to the internal assessment and remediation efforts being
conducted by the Company pursuant to the Year 2000 Plan as described above, the
Company has engaged the services of a third party consultant to review Year 2000
matters on a subsidiary-by-subsidiary basis. The consultant commenced work in
January 1999.

Costs

         The Company has incurred significant costs in connection with its
conversion, beginning in 1996, to the state-of-the-art manufacturing and
accounting systems discussed above. An incidental benefit of this conversion is
that such systems are Year 2000-compliant.

         In addition to the foregoing, the costs associated with the Company's
Year 2000 Plan, including the on-going systems conversions described above, are
expensed as incurred and to date have not been, and are not anticipated to be,
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Risks of Year 2000 Failure

         The failure on any party's part to correct a material Year 2000 problem
could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect
the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. The
Company has not developed a formal written contingency plan for dealing with
potential Year 2000 issues in general. The risks associated with each particular
system not being Year 2000 compliant are analyzed in connection with the
Company's assessment of Year 2000 issues as described above, and contingency
plans will be effected by the Company on a case-by-case basis as the need
arises.

         Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 issue,
resulting in large part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of
material third party suppliers and customers, the Company is unsure at this time
the extent, if any, that it might be materially adversely impacted by Year 2000
issues.

         Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements contained in this
Year 2000 discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
disclosures under the heading "Forward Looking Information and Risks of the
Business" below.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISKS OF THE BUSINESS

         Commencing in fiscal 1997, the Company entered large scale production
of the ITS(R) and 16g Seat. Significant investments to transition to high volume
manufacturing for these products were also made in 1997, which affected
earnings. The Company began to realize significant revenues from the
introduction of these products in 1997, which has continued in 1998 and is
anticipated to continue in 1999. Growth in the automotive safety business should
result from increased production volumes. However, auto industry customary price
reductions will reduce operating margins. Improved financial performance in the
airline seating business is expected but will be dependent on improvements in
manufacturing efficiencies, materials cost reductions, better delivery records
and customer satisfaction, and continued sales. It is estimated that the airline
seating business should achieve break even results in 1999. During 1999, the
government and defense business of the Company is expected to show growth in
revenues and operating income.

         Projected operating results and capital needs will be affected by a
wide variety of factors which could adversely impact revenues, profitability and
cash flows. The Company's liquidity and available working capital will be
dependent upon improved cash flow from operating units, the availability of cash
sales proceeds from discontinued operations to repay indebtedness and increase
availability of funds under its bank credit agreement and obtaining replacement
financing for the 10% Notes due September 15, 1999. Factors and risks that may
affect results include those described in the Company's registration statements
and periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In
addition, other factors include, but are not limited to, manufacturing capacity
and yield; costs of labor, raw materials, supplies, and equipment; reliability
of vendor base; contract mix and shifting production and delivery schedules;
amount of resources committed to independent research and development from time
to time; success in building strategic alliances with large prime contractors
and first tier suppliers to OEMs; the level of orders which are received and can
be shipped and invoiced in a quarter; customer order patterns and seasonality;
the cyclical nature of the industries and markets addressed by the Company's
products; the level and makeup of military expenditures; technological changes;
increased costs attributable to changes in government regulations and
certifications for transport vehicles; competition and competitive pressures on
pricing; and economic conditions in the United States and worldwide markets
served by the Company.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         In February 1998, the Company filed a complaint in United States
District Court for the District of Arizona against Autoliv, Inc. seeking
injunctive relief from alleged anti-competitive acts and practices by Autoliv.
The complaint alleged numerous unlawful actions taken by Autoliv in connection
with a license from the Company to market and distribute the Company's ITS(R).
In 1998, the District Court stayed the proceedings and ruled that the dispute
between the parties was a contractual one and was subject to arbitration
pursuant to a contract provision. The Company disagreed and appealed the order
to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In April 1999, this
Court ruled that the proper jurisdiction for this dispute is arbitration. No
court has ruled on the merits of the Company's claims. In May 1999, the Company
commenced a proceeding for international arbitration. This arbitration is
proceeding in the ordinary course.

         On November 3, 1998, the Company filed a separate complaint against
Autoliv in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking
injunctive relief and damages for patent infringement. The Company's complaint
alleges that Autoliv developed, offered, and sold a side impact head protection
device in the United States that infringes the patent that Simula owns for the
ITS(R). This litigation is pending.

         In addition, the Company is involved in other litigation in the
ordinary course of business from time to time. The Company presently is not a
party to any threatened or pending litigation, the negative outcome of which
would be material to the Company.
