NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)



1.    Significant Accounting Policies



Basis of Presentation



The consolidated balance sheet of OYO Geospace Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) at September 30,
2003 was derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, were 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 were made. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2003 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 were 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, 2003.



Inventories



The Company records a write-down of its inventory when the cost basis of any manufactured product (including any estimated future costs to complete the
manufacturing process) exceeds its net realizable value. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market value.



Revenue Recognition



Revenue is primarily derived from the sale, and short-term rental under operating leases, of seismic instruments and equipment and commercial graphics
products. Sales revenues are generally recognized when the Companys products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Rental revenues are recognized as earned over the rental period. Rentals of the Companys
equipment are short term and generally range from daily rentals to rental periods of up to six months. Products are generally sold without any customer acceptance provisions and the Companys standard terms of sale do not allow customers to
return products for credit. In circumstances where acceptance provisions are significant, the revenue and related profit are deferred until such time as acceptance occurs. Most of the Companys products do not require installation assistance or
sophisticated instruction.



Research and Development Costs



The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research
and development costs include salaries, employee benefit costs, department supplies, and other related costs.

Product Warranties



The Company offers a standard product warranty obligating it to repair or replace equipment with manufacturing defects. The Company maintains a reserve
for future warranty costs based on historical experience or, in the absence of historical product experience, managements estimates. Changes in the warranty reserve are contained in the following table (in thousands):



|                                                                             |  |   |      |

Stock-Based Compensation



Employee stock plans are accounted for under the
intrinsic value method of recognition and measurement principles as discussed in the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation
model to value stock options for pro forma presentation of income and per share data as if the fair value based method in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
had been used to account for stock-based compensation. The following presents pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share data as if a fair value based method had been used to account for stock-based compensation:

The FASB has indicated
that it expects to issue a standard during 2004 that will require the use of a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company will evaluate the provisions of that standard when issued and would expect to include a charge
to its results of operations in each future reporting period after the new standard is required to be implemented.

supercedes SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in FinancialStatements. SAB 104s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained within SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superceded as a result of
the issuance of EITF 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged
by the issuance of SAB 104. The impact of SAB 104 did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Options totaling
64,013 and 167,308 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were not included in the computation of weighted average shares because the impact to these options were antidilutive.

Included in the first
quarter results is a large bonus award of approximately $3.1 million resulting from successful performance of our permanent seabed seismic reservoir characterization and monitoring system to a major oil company in the North Sea. There were
insignificant costs incurred in this quarter related to the performance bonus earned.



7.    Line of Credit



The
Company has entered into a credit agreement pursuant to which it can borrow up to $10.0 million secured by its accounts receivable and inventories (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement, as amended, expires on February 28, 2004.
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 (EBITDA) and (ii) levels of eligible
accounts receivable and inventories. The Credit Agreement limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness, requires the maintenance of certain financial amounts and contains other

covenants customary in agreements of this type. As of December 31, 2003 there were borrowings of $4.4 million
outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and additional borrowings available under the Credit Agreement of $5.6 million.



The Company is currently negotiating with the bank to renew the Credit Agreement for extension of the maturity into 2005. The Company expects to renew the
Credit Agreement, but has no assurances that it will be able to do so on terms acceptable to the Company. The Companys borrowing interest rate is, at the Companys option, the banks prime rate plus 1.0% or a LIBOR based rate. The
interest rate for Companys borrowings at December 31, 2003 was 5.0%.



8.    Film Supplier Developments



In April 2002, the Company purchased certain intellectual property rights from its then primary supplier of dry thermal film (the Former Primary Film Supplier) for $2.3 million. Such purchase gave the Company exclusive ownership
of all technology used by the Former Primary Film Supplier to manufacture dry thermal film. Such purchase included technology then existing and any dry thermal film technology thereafter developed by the Former Primary Film Supplier for use in the
Companys equipment. The Company also entered into an amended supply agreement pursuant to which the Former Primary Film Supplier agreed to provide the Company with the dry thermal film. In connection with the purchase, the Company agreed to
license the technology to the Former Primary Film Supplier on a perpetual basis so long as it could meet predefined quality and delivery requirements. If the Former Primary Film Supplier could not meet such requirements, the Company has the right to
use the technology itself or to license the technology to any third party to manufacture dry thermal film.



On July 3, 2002, the Former Primary Film Supplier filed a Chapter 11 reorganization petition in Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New
York. At the date of such bankruptcy filing, the Company had $3.4 million of long-term assets carried on its balance sheet as a result of the Companys prior transactions with the Former Primary Film Supplier (including the $2.3 million
investment in intellectual property acquired from the Former Primary Film Supplier described above). Around that time, the Former Primary Film Supplier advised the Company that, in connection with its bankruptcy filing, it was seeking a buyer for
its business that would assume its relationship and contracts with the Company, and it was the Companys intention to cooperate in such efforts to the extent its on-going interest could be served thereby. The Company no longer believes that a
buyer can be found to operate the Former Primary Film Suppliers business.



The Former Primary Film Supplier has ceased providing the Company with dry thermal film. As a result, the Company is currently purchasing a large quantity of dry thermal film from its alternate supplier of dry thermal
film (the Other Film Supplier) and the Company is using the technology it purchased from the Former Primary Film Supplier to manufacture dry thermal film internally.



As a result of the bankruptcy filing by the Former Primary Film Supplier, the Company recorded a $1.2 million charge in its
third quarter of fiscal year 2002 due to the ultimate uncertainty of realization of value on certain assets, particularly certain prepaid purchase benefits and similar benefits under the amended supply agreement with the Former Primary Film
Supplier. The Company does not believe there has been any impairment in the value of the intellectual property it acquired from the Former Primary Film Supplier because of its ability to utilize the intellectual property to have dry thermal film
manufactured internally or possibly elsewhere.



No claims have
been made against the Company or by the Company at present in connection with the Former Primary Film Suppliers bankruptcy, except that on December 10, 2002, the Company received a notice of claim for alleged preferential payments made by the
Former Primary Film Supplier to the Company in the period before filing of the bankruptcy proceeding in the approximate amount of $260,000. The Company intends to vigorously defend



11

OYO GEOSPACE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)



against such claim under the overall circumstances of its relationship with the Former Primary Film Supplier. At
present, the Company does not know whether it will make any claims against the Former Primary Film Supplier and it is unable to predict whether any additional claims will be made against the Company in connection with the Former Primary Film
Suppliers bankruptcy proceeding as to any aspect of its relationship with the Former Primary Film Supplier. The Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome and effects of this situation. The Company has, nevertheless, made provision
for the existing claim and it believes such provision is adequate at this time, although it is unable to make such predictions with any certainty.



9.    Income Taxes



The United States statutory tax rate for the periods reported was 34.0%; however, the Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended
December 31, 2003 was only 9.2%. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company realized taxable income that allowed it to utilize certain of its deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company expects to record taxable income in future
periods, including U.S. taxable income from foreign sources, which will result in the utilization of additional deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company reversed a deferred tax valuation allowance of $0.8 million. The effective tax rate for the
three months ended December 31, 2002 was a benefit of 32.0%.



10.    Relocation and Consolidation of Facilities



During the first quarter, the Company relocated the operations of five separate Houston-area facilities to a single newly purchased facility in northwest Houston, resulting in relocation expenditures of $0.4 million.
The Company expects to realize significant cost savings as a result of this facility consolidation.



During the first quarter, the Company sold a vacant parcel of land and a surplus building and associated land. The sale of these surplus properties is an
integral part of the Companys plan to consolidate facilities and reduce operating costs. Proceeds from the sale of the surplus properties totaled $1.1 million.

Item 2.    Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



The following is managements discussion and analysis of the major elements of our consolidated financial statements. You should read this discussion
and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations includes various
forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our future plans and results. These statements are based on assumptions that we consider to be reasonable, but that could prove to be incorrect. For more
information regarding our assumptions, you should refer to the section entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Risks contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.



Industry Overview



We design and manufacture instruments and equipment used in the acquisition and processing of seismic data. We have been in the seismic instrument and
equipment business since 1980, marketing our products primarily to the oil and gas industry worldwide. We also design and manufacture thermal imaging equipment and distribute dry thermal film products to the commercial graphics industry. We have
been serving the commercial graphics industry since 1995.



Seismic Industry



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 by combining a seismic energy
source and a data recording system. The 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 simultaneously
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 output devices are 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 used in marine seismic data acquisition is an
airgun, and the reflected seismic waves are received and measured by hydrophones, which are an integral part of the streamers. The streamers simultaneously transmit the electrical impulses back to the vessel via telemetric cable included within the
streamers, and the seismic data is recorded and processed in much the same manner as it is on land.



An estimated one to two-thirds of the reserves found with every oil and gas discovery will be left behind in the reservoir, not recoverable either
economically or at times even identified. Reservoir characterization and management programs, in which the reservoir is carefully imaged and monitored throughout its economic life by seismic instruments and equipment, are now seen as vital tools for
improving production recovery rates. Seismic surveys repeated over selected time intervals show dynamic changes within the reservoir and can be used to monitor the effects of production.



We expect to incur significant future research and development expenditures aimed at the development of additional seismic
acquisition products used for high definition reservoir characterization in both land and marine environments.



While orders for our products can vary substantially from quarter to quarter, reservoir characterization projects, especially deepwater projects, require
the use of more equipment over a longer period of time than is required by conventional surface seismic systems. Revenue recognition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for these large-scale projects has the potential to
result in substantial fluctuations in our quarterly performance. These variations may impact our operating results and cash flow, manufacturing capability and expense levels in any given quarter. Furthermore, because of the scale and nature of
reservoir characterization projects, there may be delays in their implementation and uncertainties about their final course.

##### Table of Contents

During our fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, we delivered a reservoir characterization and monitoring
system to a major oil company, for installation in one of its fields in the North Sea. In accordance with the terms of the contract, we recognized $15.8 million of revenues in our fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 and $2.5 million of revenues in
our fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. Due to the systems successful performance through December 31, 2003, we earned a $3.1 million performance bonus, and recognized such revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. All costs related
to this sale, including estimated costs for warranty and delivery, were recorded in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.



We believe that our reservoir characterization systems, including the system referenced above, are important new technologies in our industry and our
ability to develop and market them will be a key determinant of our success in the future.



Commercial Graphics Industry



Our entry into the commercial graphics business occurred in 1995 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.



Our commercial graphics business segment manufactures and sells thermal imaging equipment and distributes dry thermal film primarily to the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile market sectors. Our thermal
imaging equipment is capable of producing data images ranging in size from 12 to 54 inches wide, with resolution ranging from 400 to 1,200 dpi (dots per inch). This business segment has some sales to customers in the seismic industry.



In April 2002, we purchased certain intellectual property rights from our
then primary supplier of dry thermal film (the Former Primary Film Supplier) for $2.3 million. Such purchase gave us exclusive ownership of all technology used by the Former Primary Film Supplier to manufacture dry thermal film. Such
purchase included technology then existing and any dry thermal film technology thereafter developed by the Former Primary Film Supplier for use in our equipment. We also entered into an amended supply agreement pursuant to which the Former Primary
Film Supplier agreed to provide us with the dry thermal film. In connection with the purchase, we agreed to license the technology to the Former Primary Film Supplier on a perpetual basis so long as it could meet predefined quality and delivery
requirements. If the Former Primary Film Supplier could not meet such requirements, the agreement provides us with the right to use the technology ourselves or to license the technology to any third party to manufacture dry thermal film.



On July 3, 2002, the Former Primary Film Supplier filed a Chapter 11
reorganization petition in Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York. At the date of such bankruptcy filing, we had $3.4 million of long-term assets carried on our balance sheet as a result of the prior transactions with the
Former Primary Film Supplier (including the $2.3 million investment in intellectual property acquired from the Former Primary Film Supplier described above). Around that time, the Former Primary Film Supplier advised us that, in connection with its
bankruptcy filing, it was seeking a buyer for its business that would assume its relationship and contracts with us, and it was our intention to cooperate in such efforts to the extent our on-going interest could be served thereby. We no longer
believe that a buyer can be found to operate the Former Primary Film Suppliers business.



The Former Primary Film Supplier has ceased providing us with dry thermal film. As a result, we are currently purchasing a large quantity of dry thermal film from our alternate film supplier (the Other Film
Supplier) and we are using the technology we purchased from the Former Primary Film Supplier to manufacture dry thermal film internally.



As a result of the bankruptcy filing by the Former Primary Film Supplier, we recorded a $1.2 million charge in our third quarter of fiscal year 2002 due
to the ultimate uncertainty of realization of value on certain assets, particularly certain prepaid purchase benefits and similar benefits under the amended supply agreement with the Former Primary Film Supplier. We do not believe there has been any
impairment in the value of the intellectual property we acquired from the Former Primary Film Supplier because of our ability to utilize the intellectual property to have dry thermal film manufactured internally or possibly elsewhere.

##### Table of Contents

No claims have been made against us or by us at present in connection with the Former Primary Film
Suppliers bankruptcy, except that on December 10, 2002, we received a notice of claim for alleged preferential payments made by the Former Primary Film Supplier to us in the period before filing of the bankruptcy proceeding in the approximate
amount of $260,000. We intend to vigorously defend against such claim under the overall circumstances of our relationship with the Former Primary Film Supplier. At present we do not know whether we will make any claims against the Former Primary
Film Supplier and we are unable to predict whether any additional claims will be made against us in connection with the Former Primary Film Suppliers bankruptcy proceeding as to any aspect of our relationship with such Former Primary Film
Supplier. We are unable at this time to predict the outcome and effects of this situation. We have, nevertheless, made provision for the existing claim, and we believe such provision is adequate at this time, although we are unable to make such
predictions with any certainty.

Overview



Three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to three months ended December 31, 2002



Consolidated sales for the three months ended December
31, 2003 increased $7.3 million, or 72.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2003 include a bonus award of $3.1 million resulting from the successful installation and performance of
a permanent seismic reservoir characterization system to a major oil company. During the quarter, we also delivered $3.8 million of retrievable seismic reservoir and borehole seismic acquisition systems to other customers.



Consolidated gross profits for the three months ended December 31, 2003
increased by $5.8 million, or 252.7%, from the corresponding period of the prior year. The higher gross profits include approximately $3.1 million of gross profit from the bonus award referred to above. In addition, the sale of retrievable seismic
reservoir and borehole seismic acquisition systems contributed to the increased gross profits.

##### Table of Contents

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2003 increased $0.4 million, or
10.2%, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating expenses for the current period primarily resulted from an expenditure of $0.4 million to consolidate our five Houston-area operations into a newly purchased
facility in northwest Houston.



The United States statutory tax
rate for the periods reported was 34.0%; however, our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2003 was only 9.2%. During this period, we realized taxable income that allowed us to utilize certain of our deferred tax assets. In
addition, we expect to record taxable income in future periods, including U.S. taxable income from foreign sources, which will result in the utilization of additional deferred tax assets. As a result, we reversed a deferred tax valuation allowance
of $0.8 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was a benefit of 32.0%.



Seismic



Our seismic
product lines currently consist of high definition reservoir characterization products and services, geophones and hydrophones, including multi-component geophones and hydrophones, seismic leader wire, geophone string connectors, seismic telemetry
cable, marine seismic cable retrieval devices and small data acquisition systems targeted at niche markets.



Net Sales



Sales of our
seismic products for the three months ended December 31, 2003 increased $7.5 million, or 106.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The large increase in sales included a bonus award of $3.1 million dollars resulting from
successful installation and performance of a permanent seismic reservoir characterization system to a major oil company. Also during the quarter, we also delivered $3.8 million of retrievable seismic reservoir and borehole seismic acquisition
systems. Sales of our traditional seismic exploration products showed modest improvements in certain international markets.



Operating Income



Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2003 increased $5.7 million from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The
increase includes higher gross profits of approximately $3.1 million the bonus award referred to above. In addition, sales of the retrievable seismic reservoir and borehole seismic acquisition systems, contributed to the increased gross profits.



Commercial Graphics



Our commercial graphics business segment manufactures and sells thermal
imaging equipment and dry thermal film primarily to the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile market sectors. This business segment has some sales to customers in the seismic industry.



Net Sales



Sales of our commercial graphics products for the three months ended December 31, 2003 decreased $0.2 million, or 6.5%, from
the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in sales is primarily due to lower sales of thermal imaging equipment. Such decrease in thermal imaging equipment sales is not considered to be a trend due to changing market conditions, and
equipment sales in future periods are expected to meet or exceed current period levels.



Operating Income



Our operating income for the
three months ended December 31, 2003 decreased $45,000 from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Such decrease is the result of lower sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



At December 31, 2003, we had $1.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, we
generated approximately $1.4 million of cash from operating activities. The cash provided by operating activities resulted from a combination of our net income of $3.2 million, which included non-cash charges of $1.0 million for depreciation and
amortization, and a $0.2 million charge for deferred income taxes. In addition, we increased our accrued expenses, deferred revenues and income taxes by $1.7 million. The cash generated was offset by increased accounts and notes receivables of $4.1
million resulting primarily from increases in our revenues. Other uses of cash included increased inventories of $0.5 million and a $0.4 million decrease in accounts payable.



For the three months ended December 31, 2003, we generated approximately $0.2 million of cash in investing activities. We
received $1.1 million of cash proceeds from the sale of a vacant parcel of land and a surplus building and associated land. The sale of these surplus properties is an integral part of our plan to consolidate facilities and reduce operating costs. We
used $0.9 million of cash for capital expenditures. We estimate that our capital expenditures in fiscal year 2004 will range between $2.0 to $3.0 million, which we expect to fund through operating cash flows and borrowings under our credit facility.



For the three months ended December 31, 2003, we used
approximately $1.2 million of cash in financing activities primarily for the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility and repayment of a loan to a Russian bank.



We have entered into a credit agreement pursuant to which we can borrow up to $10.0 million secured by our accounts
receivable and inventory (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement, as amended, expires on February 28, 2004. 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. The Credit Agreement limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness, requires the maintenance of certain
financial amounts and contains other covenants customary in agreements of this type. As of December 31, 2003 there were borrowings of $4.4 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and additional borrowings available under the Credit Agreement
of $5.6 million.



We expect to renew our Credit Agreement for
an additional year, but we have no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us. We anticipate that the existing cash balance as of December 31, 2003, cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our existing
credit facility, assuming it is extended, or borrowing availability under a new credit facility will provide adequate cash flows and liquidity for fiscal year 2004. We expect that the liquidity from such amounts and cash flows from operations in
fiscal year 2004 will satisfy the capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments, and operational budgets for the upcoming year. Our borrowing interest rate is, at our option, the banks prime rate plus 1.0% or a LIBOR based rate. The interest
rate for our borrowings at December 31, 2003 was 5.0%.



Critical Accounting
Policies



The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider many factors in
selecting appropriate operational and financial accounting policies and controls and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those
related to bad debts reserves, inventory obsolescence reserves, self-insurance reserves, product warranty reserves, intangible assets and deferred income tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions.



Revenue is primarily derived from the sale, and short-term rental under operating leases, of seismic instruments and equipment and commercial graphics
products. Sales revenues are generally recognized when our products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Rental revenues are recognized as earned over the

rental period. Rentals of our equipment are short term and generally range from daily rentals to rental periods of up to
six months. Products are generally sold without any customer acceptance provisions and our standard terms of sale do not allow customers to return products for credit. Most of our products generally do not require installation assistance or
sophisticated instruction. We offer a standard product warranty obligating us to repair or replace equipment with manufacturing defects. We maintain a reserve for future warranty costs based on historical experience. We record a write-down of
inventory when the cost basis of any item (including any estimated future costs to complete the manufacturing process) exceeds its net realizable value.

In December 2003, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition(SAB 104), which supercedes SAB 101, Revenue
Recognition in FinancialStatements. SAB 104s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained within SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21,
Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104.
The impact of SAB 104 did not have a material effect on our financial position or our results of operations.



Forward Looking Statements and Risks



Certain of the statements we make in this document and in documents incorporated by reference herein, including those made under the caption Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, are, or may be, forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include projections of our expectations regarding our future capital
expenditures, research and development expenses, expansion of product lines, growth of product markets and other statements that relate to future events or circumstances. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the risks and factors described
below. You are cautioned to consider the following factors and risks in connection with evaluating any such forward-looking statements or otherwise evaluating an investment in our company.



Managements Current Outlook



Our estimates as to future results and industry trends, to the extent
described in this document, are generally based on assumptions regarding the future level of seismic exploration activity and seismic reservoir monitoring projects and, in turn, their effect on the demand and pricing of our products and services.
Our analysis of the market and its impact on us is based upon the following outlook for fiscal year 2004:



| |  | The impact of political conditions and hostilities around the world, including those of the Middle East, which may have a significant impact on the oil and gas commodity prices,
will not cause a significant increase or further significant decrease in demand for our seismic products during fiscal year 2004.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | On the other hand, political conditions and hostilities around the world, which have a significant impact on the oil and gas industry, will remain and present serious economic risks
for our seismic business.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | While we expect demand for our traditional seismic land and marine products to increase slightly in 2004, sales of equipment into the traditional seismic contracting industry
remains constrained because:
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the supply of land and marine contract seismic services currently exceeds the international demand for such services;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the reduced demand for seismic services and past customer consolidations have resulted in a surplus in the availability of certain seismic equipment;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | there is an ample supply of seismic data stored in libraries for many of the oil and gas producing regions around the world;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



18

##### Table of Contents

| |  | pricing for many of our land based seismic products will continue to be subject to pressures due to industry wide manufacturing over capacity; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | competition among seismic equipment manufacturers could further intensify as large international seismic contractors expand their internal manufacturing capabilities or form
alliances with competitors.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Our new high definition reservoir characterization products and services are expected to become more widely accepted by the industry. Sales in fiscal year 2004 are expected to be
higher than fiscal year 2003 levels based on current order levels and pending quotations.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Sales of our new offshore cable products are expected to increase in fiscal year 2004.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Demand for our products used in the commercial graphics industry is expected to increase slightly in fiscal year 2004 with continued market acceptance of our dry thermal film and
new product introductions.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our outlook is based
on various macro-economic factors and our internal assessments, and actual market conditions could vary materially from those assumed.



Risk 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 product line for borehole and reservoir characterization applications. For a discussion of particular factors and risks relating to projects in the
reservoir characterization area, see the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsIndustry Overview in this Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that we will
realize our expectations regarding market acceptance and revenues from these products and services.



A Decline in Industry Conditions Could Affect our Projected Results



Any unexpected material changes in oil and gas prices or other market trends that would impact seismic exploration activity would likely affect the
forward-looking information contained in this document. In addition, the oil and gas industry is extremely volatile and subject to change based on political and economic factors outside our control. In fact, our results for fiscal year 2003 and
results from our land based seismic activity in particular, were adversely affected by the downturn in the industry, particularly as the industry has continued to limit exploration activities and to be cautious in spending notwithstanding some
improvements in, or some relative stabilization of, oil and gas commodity prices.



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. Thus 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 Credit Risks Could Increase as our Customers Continue to Face Difficult Economic Circumstances



We believe, and have assumed that our allowance for bad debts at December
31, 2003 is adequate in light of known circumstances. However, we cannot assure you that additional amounts attributable to uncollectible receivables and bad debt write-offs will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of
operations. Many of our customers, particularly seismic contractors, have suffered from lower revenues and experienced liquidity challenges resulting from the economic difficulties throughout our industry. We have in the past incurred significant
write-offs in our accounts receivable due to customer credit problems. We have found it necessary from time to time to extend trade credit and promissory notes to long-term customers and others where some risks of non-payment or late payment exist.
Given recent industry conditions, some of our customers have experienced liquidity difficulties, which increases those credit risks.



Demand for Our Products is Volatile



Demand for our products depends primarily on the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration activity. That activity, in turn, depends primarily on
prevailing oil and gas prices and availability of seismic data. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile, and those markets are likely to continue to be volatile. Oil and gas prices are subject to wide fluctuation in response to
relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer demand, weather conditions, domestic and foreign
governmental regulations, price and availability of alternative fuels, political conditions and hostilities in the Middle East and other significant oil-producing regions, foreign supply of oil and gas, prices of foreign imports and overall economic
conditions. Continued low demand for our products could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. For a further discussion on this, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - Industry Overview.



We Have a Relatively Small Public
Float, and Our Stock Price May be Volatile



We have
approximately 2.4 million shares outstanding held by non-affiliates. This small float results in a relatively illiquid market for our common stock. Our average daily trading volume during fiscal year 2003 was approximately 2,500 shares. Our small
float and daily trading volumes has in the past caused, and may in the future result in, greater volatility of our stock price.



Our Industry is Characterized by Rapid Technological Development and Product Obsolescence



Our instruments and equipment are constantly undergoing rapid technological improvement. Our future success depends on our
ability to continue to:



| |  | improve our existing product lines
| | - | ----------------------------------



| |  | address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | maintain a reputation for technological leadership
| | - | --------------------------------------------------



| |  | maintain market acceptance
| | - | --------------------------



| |  | anticipate changes in technology and industry standards
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  | respond to technological developments on a timely basis.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------



Current competitors or new market entrants may develop new technologies, products or standards that could render our products obsolete. We cannot assure
you that we will be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely and cost effective basis, product enhancements or new products that respond to technological developments, that are accepted in the marketplace or that comply with industry
standards.



We Operate in Highly Competitive Markets



The markets for our products are highly competitive. Many of our existing
and potential competitors have substantially greater marketing, financial and technical resources than we do. Additionally, three competitors in our



20



---

##### Table of Contents

seismic business segment currently offer a broader range of instruments and equipment for sale and market this equipment
as packaged data acquisition systems. We do not now offer for sale such a complete packaged data acquisition system. Further, certain of our competitors offer financing arrangements to customers on terms that we may not be
able to match. In addition, new competitors may enter the market and competition could intensify.



We cannot assure you that sales of our products will continue at current volumes or prices if current competitors or new market entrants introduce new
products with better features, performance, price or other characteristics than our products. Competitive pressures or other factors also may result in significant price competition that could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.



We Have a Limited Market



In our seismic business segment, we market our products to contractors and
large, independent and government-owned oil and gas companies. We estimate that, based on published industry sources, fewer than 30 seismic contracting companies are currently operating worldwide (excluding those operating in Russia and the former
Soviet Union, India, the Peoples Republic of China and certain Eastern European countries, where seismic data acquisition activity is difficult to verify). We estimate that fewer than ten seismic contractors are engaged in marine seismic
exploration. Due to these market factors, a relatively small number of customers, some of whom are experiencing financial difficulties, have accounted for most of our sales. From time to time these seismic contractors have sought to vertically
integrate and acquire our competitors, which has influenced their supplier decisions before and after such transactions. The loss of a small number of these customers for whatever reason could materially and adversely impact our sales.



We Cannot Be Certain of Patent Protection of Our Products



We have applied for and hold certain patents relating to our seismic data
acquisition and other products. We also acquired several patents which relate to the development of dry thermal film from our Former Primary Film Supplier. We cannot assure you that our patents will prove enforceable, that any patents will be issued
for which we have applied or that competitors will not develop functionally similar technology outside the protection of any patents we have or may obtain.



Our Foreign Marketing Efforts Face Additional Risks and Difficulties



Net sales outside the United States accounted for approximately 60% of our net sales during fiscal year 2003. Substantially all of our sales from the
United States are made in U.S. dollars, but from time to time we may make sales in foreign currencies and may, therefore, be subject to foreign currency fluctuations on our sales. In addition, net assets reflected on the balance sheets of our
Russian, Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries are subject to currency fluctuations. Significant foreign currency fluctuations could adversely impact our results of operations.



Foreign sales are subject to special risks inherent in doing business outside of the United States, including the risk of
war, terrorist activities, civil disturbances, embargo and government activities and foreign attitudes about conducting business activities with United States or, with reference to our Japanese parent OYO Corporation, Japanese trading partners, all
of which may disrupt markets. Foreign sales are also generally subject to the risk of compliance with additional laws, including tariff regulations and import and export restrictions. Sales in certain foreign countries require prior United States
government approval in the form of an export license. We cannot assure you that we will not experience difficulties in connection with future foreign sales. Also, should we experience substantial growth in certain markets, for example Russia, we may
not be able to transfer cash balances to the United States to assist with debt servicing obligations.



We Rely on Key Suppliers for Significant Product Components



A Japanese manufacturer unaffiliated with us is currently the only supplier (the Japanese Supplier) of wide format thermal printheads that we
use to manufacture our wide format thermal imager equipment. Over the years we have experienced some quality control issues with such printheads and have returned significant quantities of these products to the Japanese Supplier for repair, testing
and quality assurance review. We have publicly available



21

##### Table of Contents

information as to the Japanese Supplier that it has incurred significant operating losses in recent periods and consider
it possible that such supplier may be forced to dispose of or discontinue this line of business. We are not at present experiencing any significant supply or quality control problems with the Japanese Supplier. However, unforeseen problems with the
Japanese Supplier, if they develop, could have a significant effect on our ability to meet future production and sales commitments. If the Japanese Supplier were to discontinue supplying these printheads or was unable or unwilling to supply
printheads in sufficient quantities to meet our requirements, our ability to compete in the thermal imaging marketplace could be severely damaged, adversely affecting our financial performance. We are not able to evaluate the implications, if any,
of that situation at present. We believe we maintain an adequate inventory of certain printheads to continue production for two to six months should our source of supply be disrupted.



We Are Subject to Control by a Principal Stockholder



OYO Corporation, a Japanese corporation, owns indirectly in the aggregate approximately 51.3% of our common stock.
Accordingly, OYO Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary OYO Corporation U.S.A., is able to elect all of our directors and to control our management, operations and affairs. We currently have, and may continue to have, a variety of
contractual relationships with OYO Corporation and its affiliates.



Our
Success Depends Upon A Limited Number of Key Personnel



Our success depends on attracting and retaining highly skilled professionals. A number of our employees are highly skilled engineers and other professionals. If we fail to continue to attract and retain such professionals, our ability to
compete in the industry could be adversely effected. In addition, our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of the members of our senior management.



A General Downturn in the U.S. Economy in 2004 May Adversely Affect our Business



A general downturn in the U.S. economy in Fiscal 2004 could adversely affect
our business in ways that we cannot yet identify. The economic downturn, which has been experienced for the last several years, may continue to adversely affect the demand for oil and gas generally or cause volatility in oil and gas prices and,
therefore, adversely affect the demand for our services to the oil and gas industry and related service industry. It could also adversely affect the demand for consumer products, which could in turn adversely affect our commercial graphics business.
To the extent these factors adversely affect other seismic companies in the industry, we could see an oversupply of products and services and continued downward pressure on pricing for seismic products and services that would also adversely affect
us.



Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002



In response to several high profile cases of accounting irregularities, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act) was enacted into law on July 30, 2002. We are required to begin to comply with the annual requirements of Section 404 of the Act effective with our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2004. The Act, and
rules promulgated thereunder, as well as new Nasdaq listing standards addressing corporate governance issues, endeavor to provide greater accountability and promote investor confidence by imposing specific corporate governance requirements, by
requiring more stringent controls and certifications by corporate management and by ultimately imposing new auditor attestations. The Act and new Nasdaq rules affect how audit committees, corporate management and auditors of publicly traded
companies carry out their respective responsibilities and interact with each other and mandate composition of audit committees by independent directors. The Act will likely result in higher expenses for publicly traded companies as a result of
higher audit and review fees, higher director fees, higher internal costs to document and test internal controls and higher legal fees. The Act, together with the financial scandals and difficult economic environment of recent years have also led to
substantially increased premiums for director and officer liability insurance. These likely increased expenses will affect smaller public companies, like us, disproportionately from their effects on companies with larger revenue and operating income
bases with which to absorb such increased costs.

We May Not Enjoy the Expected Benefits of Our Move to a Newly Purchased Facility and Other Internal Restructurings



While we have recently purchased a large facility to
house all our existing U.S. operations and activities and have taken other measures, all with the expectation of improving our efficiency and margins, we cannot assure you that our efforts will be successful or that we will enjoy the full benefit of
capital and operating expenditures incurred in connection with such measures.



We May Not be Able to Extend or Replace Our Existing Credit Agreement



Our existing credit agreement with a bank expired January 13, 2004. The expiration date was subsequently extended to February 28, 2004. While we are attempting to extend or replace our credit agreement, we have no
assurance that we will be able to do so or to do so on terms that are commercially satisfactory to us. While we do not believe that we will experience any significant liquidity problems on account of the expiration of such credit agreement, we
regard it as an important security measure to have in place an adequate credit arrangement to assure stability in our cash flow cycles, and the failure to extend or renew such credit agreement will lessen our security as to liquidity.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



The following discussion of our exposure to various market risks contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
These projected results have been prepared utilizing certain assumptions considered reasonable in light of information currently available to us. Nevertheless, because of the inherent unpredictability of foreign currency rates, as well as other
factors, actual results could differ materially from those projected in this forward looking information. For a description of our significant accounting policies associated with these activities, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.



We do not have any market risk as to market risk sensitive
instruments entered into for trading purposes and have only very limited risk as to arrangements entered into other than for trading purposes. Further, we do not engage in commodity or commodity derivative instrument purchasing or selling
transactions.



Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk



We purchase printheads from OYO Corporation, which purchases them from the
Japanese Supplier, pursuant to terms under which such purchases are denominated in Japanese yen. We routinely attempt to hedge our 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 variability of cash flows associated with foreign currency exposure risk on amounts payable in Japanese yen. Our forward contracts with the bank are considered derivatives. Accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States require that we record these foreign currency forward contracts on the balance sheet and mark them to fair value at each reporting date. Our aggregate dollar exposure to forward yen contracts
usually does not exceeded $0.5 million and such contracts ordinarily are settled within 10 months. Resulting gains and losses are reflected in income and were not material for our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, we had
$0.3 million of yen denominated foreign currency forward contracts, and we had $0.3 million of yen denominated accounts payable.



Foreign Currency and Operations Risk



We have a subsidiary located in Russia. Therefore, our financial results may be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange risks,
weak economic conditions or changes in Russias political climate. Our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 reflected approximately $1.4 million of net working capital related to our Russian subsidiary. This subsidiary generally
receives its income and pays its expenses primarily in Russian rubles. To the extent that transactions of this subsidiary are settled in rubles, a devaluation of the ruble versus the U.S. dollar could reduce any contribution from our Russian
subsidiary to our consolidated results of operations as reported in U.S. dollars. We do not hedge the market risk with respect to our operations in Russia; therefore, such risk is a general and unpredictable risk of future disruptions in the
valuation of Russian rubles versus U.S. dollars to the extent such disruptions result in any reduced valuation of the Russian subsidiarys net working capital or future contributions to our consolidated results of operations.



Foreign Currency Intercompany Accounts and Notes Receivable



From time-to-time, we provide access to capital to our foreign subsidiaries
through U.S. dollar denominated interest bearing promissory notes. Such funds are generally used by our foreign subsidiaries to purchase capital assets and for general working capital needs. In addition, we sell products to our foreign subsidiaries
in U.S. dollars on trade credit terms. Because these U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debts are accounted for in the local functional currency of the foreign subsidiary, any appreciation or devaluation of such foreign currencies against the U.S.
dollar will result in a gain or loss, respectively, to our consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2003, we had outstanding accounts and notes receivable of $2.8 million, $1.4 million and $0.4 million from our subsidiaries in Canada,
Russia, and the U.K, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk



We have a revolving credit agreement and a real estate mortgage agreement with banks, each with floating interest rates. These floating interest rates
subject us to the risk of increased interest costs associated with any upward movements in bank market interest rates. Under the revolving credit agreement, our borrowing interest rate is the banks prime rate plus 100 basis points or a LIBOR
rate plus 350 basis points, whichever we select. Under the real estate mortgage agreement, our borrowing rate was a LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points with a minimum rate of 4.0%. As of December 31, 2003, we had borrowed $4.4 million under our
revolving credit agreement at an average borrowing rate of 5.0% and $3.0 million borrowed under our real estate mortgage agreement at a borrowing rate of 4.0%. Due to the amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities, any increased
interest costs associated with movements in market interest rates could be material to our financial condition, results of operation or cash flow.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



As of December 31, 2003, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.



Changes in Internal Control



There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the
date of the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures referred to in the preceding paragraph. As we begin to evaluate our internal controls in greater detail under Section 404, there may be certain future improvements not currently
considered significant.
