PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

OYO Geospace Corporation is a Delaware corporation incorporated on September 13, 1997. Unless otherwise specified, the discussion in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refers to OYO Geospace Corporation and subsidiaries. We design and manufacture instruments and equipment used in the acquisition and processing of seismic data as well as in the characterization and monitoring of producing oil and gas reservoirs. Demand for our products has been, and will likely continue to be, vulnerable to downturns in the economy and the oil and gas industry in general. During recent months, there has been substantial volatility and a decline in oil and natural gas prices. Please refer to the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” for more information.

We have been in the seismic instrument and equipment business since 1980 and market our products primarily to the oil and gas industry. We also design, manufacture and distribute thermal imaging equipment, and thermal media products targeted at the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile market sectors. We have been manufacturing thermal imaging products since 1995. We report and evaluate financial information for each of these two segments: Seismic and Thermal Solutions.

Seismic Products

The seismic segment of our business accounts for the majority of our sales. Geoscientists use seismic data primarily in connection with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves to map potential and known hydrocarbon bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them.

Seismic Exploration Products

Seismic data is acquired by combining a seismic energy source and a seismic data recording system. We provide many of the components of seismic data recording systems, including data acquisition systems, geophones, hydrophones, multi-component sensors, seismic leader wire, geophone strings, connectors, seismic telemetry cables and other seismic related products. On land, our customers use our data acquisition systems, geophones, leader wire, cables and connectors to receive and measure seismic reflections resulting from an energy source to data recording units, which store information for processing and analysis. We recently announced the development of a land wireless seismic data acquisition system capable of very large channel configurations. We delivered several of these systems to customers during fiscal year 2008 with the largest of these systems containing 1,000 channels. In the marine environment, large ocean-going vessels tow long seismic cables known as “streamers” containing hydrophones which are used to detect pressure changes. Hydrophones transmit electrical impulses back to the vessel’s data recording unit, where the seismic data is stored for subsequent processing and analysis. Our marine seismic products help steer streamers while being towed and help recover streamers if they become disconnected from the vessel.

Our seismic sensor, cable and connector products are compatible with most major competitive seismic data acquisition systems currently in use, and sales result primarily from seismic contractors purchasing our products as components of new seismic data acquisition systems or to repair and replace components of seismic data acquisition systems already in use.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary in the Russian Federation manufactures international standard geophones, sensors, seismic leader wire, seismic telemetry cables and related seismic products for customers in the Russian Federation and other international seismic marketplaces. Operating in foreign locations involves certain risks as discussed under the heading “Risk Factors—Our Foreign Subsidiaries and Foreign Marketing Efforts Face Additional Risks and Difficulties” in this Report on Form 10-K.

Seismic Reservoir Products

We have developed permanently installed high-definition reservoir characterization products for ocean-bottom applications in producing oil and gas fields. We also produce a retrievable version of this ocean-bottom system for use on fields where permanently installed systems are not appropriate or economical. Seismic surveys repeated over selected time intervals show dynamic changes within the reservoir and can be used to monitor the effects of production. Utilizing these products, producers can enhance the recovery of oil and gas deposits over the life of a reservoir.

In addition, we produce seismic borehole acquisition systems which employ a fiber optic augmented wireline capable of very high data transmission rates. These systems are used for several reservoir characterization applications, including an application pioneered by us allowing operators and service companies to monitor and measure the results of fracturing operations. Our customers are deploying these borehole systems in the United States, Canada and China.

Emerging Technology Products

Our products continue to develop and expand beyond seismic applications through the utilization of our existing engineering experience and manufacturing capabilities. We design and manufacture power and communication transmission cable products for offshore applications and market these products to the offshore oil and gas and offshore construction industries. These products include a variety of specialized cables, primarily used in deepwater applications, such as remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) tethers, umbilicals and electrical control cables. These products also include specially designed and manufactured cables, including armored cables, engineered to withstand harsh offshore operating environments.

In addition, we design and manufacture industrial sensors for the vibration monitoring and earthquake detection markets. We also design and manufacture other specialty cable products, such as those used in connection with global positioning products.

Thermal Solution Products

Our thermal solutions product technologies were originally developed for seismic data processing applications. In 1995 we modified this technology for application in other markets. Our thermal printers include both thermal imagesetters for graphics applications and thermal plotters for seismic applications. In addition, our thermal solutions products include direct-to-screen systems, thermal printheads, dry thermal film, thermal transfer ribbon, and other thermal media. Our thermal imaging solutions produce images ranging in size from 12 to 54 inches wide and in resolution from 400 to 1,200 dots per inch (“dpi”). We market our thermal imaging solutions to a variety of industries, including screen printing, point-of-sale, signage, flexographic, and textile markets. We also continue to sell these products to our seismic customers.

The quality of thermal imaging is determined primarily by the interrelationship between a thermal printhead and the thermal media, be it film, ribbon, or any other media. We manufacture thermal printheads and thermal film, which we believe will enable us to more effectively match the characteristics of our thermal printers to thermal film, thereby improving print quality, and make us more competitive in markets for these products.

We also distribute private label high-quality dry thermal media for use in our thermal printers and direct-to-screen systems. To fully meet the demands of the interrelationship between the thermal printhead and thermal media, we are attempting to modify our thermal printheads so that they interface optimally with these other thermal medias. In addition, we are engaged in efforts to develop a new line of dry thermal film and ribbon in order to improve the image quality of our media for use with our printheads. Both efforts to modify our printheads and to improve our film have been on-going in recent periods, but at this time we are unable to provide any assurance that we can eliminate printhead and film interface issues in the near future or at all. In order to achieve more than marginal growth in our thermal solutions product business in future periods, we believe that it is important to continue our concentration of efforts on both our printhead changes and media improvements.

Products and Product Development

Seismic Products

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 cables, marine seismic cable retrieval and steering devices and specialized data acquisition systems targeted at conventional and niche markets. Our seismic products are compatible with most major seismic data acquisition systems currently in use. We believe that our seismic products are among the most technologically advanced instruments and equipment available for seismic data acquisition.

Our products used in marine seismic data acquisition include our patented marine seismic streamer retrieval devices (“SRDs”). Occasionally, streamer cables are severed and become disconnected from the vessel as a result of obstacles, inclement weather, vessel traffic or human error. Our SRDs, which are attached to the streamer cables, contain air bags which are designed to inflate automatically at a given depth, bringing the severed streamer cables to the surface. These SRDs save the seismic contractors significant time and money compared to the alternative of losing the streamer cable. We also produce seismic streamer steering devices, or “birds,” which are finlike devices that attach to the streamer cable. These birds help maintain the streamer cable at a certain desired depth as it is being towed through the water.

Other product developments include the HDSeis™ product line and a suite of borehole and reservoir characterization products and services. Our HDSeis™ System is a high-definition seismic data acquisition system with flexible architecture that allows it to be configured as a borehole seismic system or as a subsurface system for both land and marine reservoir-monitoring projects. The scalable architecture of the HDSeis™ System enables custom designed system configuration for applications ranging from low-channel engineering and environmental-scale surveys requiring a minimum number of recording channels to high-channel surveys required to efficiently conduct permanent deepwater reservoir imaging and monitoring. Modular architecture allows virtually unlimited channel expansion with global positioning systems and fiber-optic synchronization. In addition, multi-system synchronization features make the HDSeis™ System well suited for multi-well or multi-site acquisition, simultaneous surface and downhole acquisition and continuous reservoir monitoring projects.

Reservoir characterization requires special purpose or custom designed systems in which portability becomes less critical and functional reliability assumes greater importance. This reliability factor helps assure successful operations in inaccessible locations over a considerable period of time. Additionally, reservoirs located in deepwater or harsh environments require special instrumentation and new techniques to maximize recovery. Reservoir characterization also requires high-bandwidth, high-resolution seismic data for engineering project planning and reservoir management. We believe our HDSeis™ System and tools, designed for cost-effective deployment and lifetime performance, will make borehole and seabed seismic acquisition a cost-effective and reliable process for the challenges of reservoir characterization and monitoring.

Our recent 3D seismic product developments include an omni-directional geophone for use in reservoir monitoring, a compact marine three-component or four-component gimbaled sensor and special-purpose connectors, connector arrays and cases. We announced the development of a wireless seismic data acquisition system capable of very large channel configurations, which became commercially available in the first calendar quarter of 2008. We delivered several of these systems to customers during fiscal year 2008 with the largest of these systems containing 1,000 channels.

In order to take advantage of our existing cable manufacturing facilities and capabilities in Houston, we are designing and selling new cable products to the offshore oil and gas and offshore construction industries. The production of offshore marine cables requires specialized design capabilities and manufacturing equipment. We also utilize these design capabilities and manufacturing equipment to produce deepwater reservoir characterization products. We are aggressively working to diversify our seismic product lines as well as utilizing our manufacturing capabilities to develop and produce products for use in other industries.

Thermal Solutions Products

Our thermal solutions products include thermal imagesetters for graphics applications and thermal plotters for seismic applications. In addition, our thermal solution products include thermal printheads and thermal media products. We market these products to a variety of industries, including the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile markets. We also sell these products to our seismic customers.

We design, manufacture and sell thermal printers with data images ranging in size from 12 to 54 inches wide and resolution ranging from 400 to 1,200 dpi. We also manufacture our own line of thermal film products as well as distribute another brand of thermal film to the users of our thermal printers. In our thermal solutions segments, we derive revenue primarily from the sale of thermal solutions products to our commercial graphics customers.

Competition

Seismic Products

We believe that we are one of the world’s largest manufacturers and distributors of seismic related products. The principal competitors in our seismic business segment for data acquisition systems, geophones, hydrophones, geophone string connectors, leader wire and telemetry cable are ION Geophysical, SERCEL (a division of CGGVeritas) and Steward Cable (a division of Amphenol Corporation). Furthermore, entities in China affiliated with SERCEL, as well as other Chinese manufacturers, produce low-cost geophones having similar design and specifications as one of our older geophone models not meeting current industry standards and specifications. These Chinese entities also produce low-cost geophone strings, connectors, leader wire and telemetry cables. A Chinese entity affiliated with SERCEL has recently started producing a lower-cost geophone meeting current industry standards and specifications.

We believe that the principal key for success in the seismic instruments and equipment market are technological superiority, product durability, reliability, and customer support. We also believe that price and product delivery are always important considerations for our customers. In general, most customers prefer to standardize geophones and hydrophones, particularly if they are used by seismic companies which have multiple crews which are able to support each other. This standardization makes it difficult for an outside geophone or hydrophone manufacturer to gain market share from other manufacturers with existing customer relationships.

As mentioned above, a key factor for seismic instruments and equipment manufacturers is durability under harsh field conditions. Instruments and equipment must meet not only rigorous technical specifications regarding signal integrity and sensitivity, but must also be extremely rugged and durable to withstand the rigors of field use, often in harsh environments.

With respect to our marine seismic products, we are not aware of any competing companies that manufacture a product functionally similar to our patented seismic streamer retrieval device. We believe our primary competitor in the manufacture of our streamer depth positioning device, or “birds,” is ION Geophysical.

We believe our primary competitors for our deepwater cabled reservoir characterization and monitoring systems are traditional seismic equipment manufacturers or equipment providers such as WesternGeco (a division of Schlumberger), ION Geophysical, SERCEL and new specialized technology providers like Octoplan (a division of Wavefield InSeis ASA).

We believe our primary competitors for high-definition borehole seismic data acquisition systems are Avalon and CGGVeritas.

Thermal Solutions Products

We believe that the primary competitors to our thermal imaging business segments include emulsion producers like KIWO USA, Inc. as a distributor of direct-to-screen technologies, Colour Scanned Technology as a manufacturer of direct-to-screen technologies, iSys Group as a manufacturer of thermal technologies for oil and gas exploration applications, as well as manufacturers of alternative technologies such as inkjet devices distributed and used for film output. Also, as we advance the resolution capabilities of direct thermal imaging technology, we expose ourselves to additional competition in the more traditional wet-film and direct-to-plate imagesetting marketplace. A key competitive factor in this market is producing equipment that is technologically advanced, yet cost effective.

Suppliers

We produce our own brand of dry thermal film internally. We also purchase a substantial quantity of dry thermal film from a European supplier.

We do not currently experience any significant difficulties in obtaining raw materials from our suppliers for the production of our seismic or thermal imaging products.

Product Manufacturing and Assembly

Our manufacturing and product assembly operations consist of machining or molding the necessary component parts, configuring these parts along with components received from various vendors and assembling a final product. We manufacture seismic equipment to the specifications of our customers. For example, we can armor cables for applications such as deepwater uses. We assemble geophone strings and seismic telemetry cables based on a number of customer choices such as length, gauge, tolerance and color of molded parts. With regard to dry thermal film, we mix and react various chemicals to formulate a reactive layer that is then coated onto a clear polyester film. The film is then coated with a protective topcoat that produces the final product. Upon completion of our manufacturing and assembly operations, we test our final products to the functional and, in the case of seismic equipment, environmental, extremes of product specifications and inspect the products for quality assurance. We normally manufacture and ship our products based on customer orders and, therefore, typically do not maintain significant inventories of finished goods held for sale.

Markets and Customers

Our principal seismic customers are seismic contractors and major independent and government-owned oil and gas companies that either operate their own seismic crews or specify seismic instrument and equipment preferences to contractors. For our deepwater reservoir characterization products, our customers are generally large international oil and gas companies that operate long-term offshore oil and gas producing properties. Our thermal imaging customers primarily consist of direct users of our equipment as well as specialized resellers that focus on the newsprint, silkscreen and corrugated box printing industries. One customer comprised 11.5% and 12.6% of our revenues during the fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. None of our customers comprised more than 10% of our net sales for fiscal year 2006. The following table describes our sales by customer type (in thousands):

Index to Financial Statements

During recent months, there has been substantial uncertainty in the capital markets and access to credit is uncertain. Due to these conditions, certain of our customers may begin to curtail their seismic contracting activities which would result in a decrease in demand for our products. Furthermore, certain of our customers could experience an inability to pay suppliers, including us, in the event they are unable to access the capital markets to fund their business operations. These risks are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Intellectual Property

We seek to protect our intellectual property by means of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other measures. Although we do not consider any single patent essential to our success, we consider our patent regarding our marine seismic cable retrieval devices to be of particular value to us. This patent is scheduled to expire in 2012. Our dry thermal film technology patents expire at varying dates beginning in 2013.

Research and Development

We expect to incur significant future research and development expenditures aimed at the development of additional seismic data acquisition products to be used for high-definition reservoir characterization in both land and marine environments and thermal imaging technologies. We have incurred company-sponsored research and development expenses of $8.9 million, $7.3 million and $6.6 million during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Employees

As of September 30, 2008, we employed approximately 1,099 people predominantly on a full-time basis, of which approximately 585 were employed in the United States and approximately 467 in the Russian Federation. Our employees in the Russian Federation belong to a national union for machine manufacturers. Our remaining employees are not unionized. We have never experienced a work stoppage and consider our relationship with our employees to be satisfactory.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

Commodity Price Levels May Affect Demand for Our Products

Demand for many of 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. During periods of improved energy commodity prices, the capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which results in increased demand for our products. Conversely, in periods when these energy commodity prices deteriorate, the demand for our products generally weakens. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile. During recent months, there has been substantial volatility and a decline in oil

6

Index to Financial Statements

and natural gas prices, which are subject to wide fluctuation in response to 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, increases and decreases in foreign supply of oil and gas, prices of foreign imports and overall economic conditions. Any unexpected material changes in oil and gas prices or other market trends that adversely impacts seismic exploration activity would likely affect the demand for our products and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

Our New Products May Not Achieve Market Acceptance

Management’s outlook and assumptions are based on various macro-economic factors and internal assessments, and actual market conditions could vary materially from those assumed. 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 announced wireless seismic data acquisition system, as well as other seismic products for reservoir characterization applications. In addition, we try to use some of our capabilities, particularly our cable manufacturing capabilities, to supply products to new markets. Further, we have incurred substantial expense and expended significant effort to develop our thermal solutions products. We cannot assure you that we will realize our expectations regarding acceptance of and revenues generated by our new products and services in existing or new markets.

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.” The short-term nature of our order backlog generally does not allow us to predict with any accuracy demand for our products more than approximately three months in advance. Thus, our ability to replenish orders and the completion of orders, particularly large orders for deepwater reservoir characterization projects, can significantly impact our 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. These periodic fluctuations in our operating results could adversely affect our stock price.

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

We have approximately 4.1 million shares outstanding held by non-affiliates. This small float results in a relatively illiquid market for our common stock. Our daily trading volume for the year ended September 30, 2008 averaged approximately 71,000 shares. Our small float and daily trading volumes have in the past caused, and may in the future result in, significant volatility in our stock price.

Our Credit Risk Could Increase If Our Customers Face Difficult Economic Circumstances

We believe that our allowances for bad debts are 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 seismic contractor customers are not well capitalized and as a result cannot always pay our invoices when due. We have in the past incurred write-offs in our accounts receivable due to customer credit problems. We have found it necessary from time to time to extend trade credit, including on promissory notes, to long-term customers and others where some risks of non-payment exist. With the recent global financial crisis and a tightening of commercial credit availability, some of our customers relying on credit markets as the source of funds for their capital spending may experience significant liquidity difficulties, which increase those credit risks. An increase in the level of bad debts and any deterioration in our credit risk could adversely affect the price of our stock.

Index to Financial Statements

Our Industry Is Characterized By Rapid Technological Development and Product Obsolescence

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

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 new industry standards.

We Operate in Highly Competitive Markets

The markets for most of our products are highly competitive. Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater marketing, financial and technical resources than we do. Additionally, at least two competitors in our seismic business segment currently offer a broader range of instruments and equipment for sale than we do and market this equipment as “packaged” data acquisition systems. We do not currently 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.

As to our thermal solutions products, we compete with other printing solutions, including inkjet and laser printing technologies, many of which are provided by large companies with significant resources.

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 may also result in significant price competition that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We Have a Limited Market for Our Seismic Products

In our seismic business segment, we market our traditional products to seismic service contractors and to large, independent and government-owned oil and gas companies. We estimate that, based on published industry sources, fewer than 50 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 20 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 could materially and adversely impact sales of our seismic products.

Index to Financial Statements

We Cannot Be Certain of the Effectiveness of Patent Protection

We hold and from time to time apply for certain patents relating to some of our seismic data acquisition and other products. We also own several patents which relate to the development of dry thermal film. We cannot assure you that our patents will prove enforceable or free of challenge, 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 Subsidiaries and Foreign Marketing Efforts Face Additional Risks and Difficulties

Based on customer billing data, net sales outside the United States accounted for approximately 59.4% of our net sales during fiscal year 2008; however, we believe the percentage of sales outside the United States is much higher as many of our products are first delivered to a domestic location and ultimately shipped to a foreign location. We again expect net sales outside of the United States to represent a substantial portion of our net sales for fiscal year 2009 and subsequent years. Substantially all of our sales from the United States are made in U.S. dollars, though from time to time we may make sales in foreign currencies. As a result, we may be subject to foreign currency fluctuations on our sales. In addition, net assets reflected on the balance sheets of our Russian, Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries are booked in foreign currencies and are subject to currency fluctuations. Consequently, 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 the United States, all of which may disrupt markets. A portion of our manufacturing is conducted through our subsidiary OYO-GEO Impulse, which is based in the Russian Federation. Our business could be directly affected by political and economic conditions in the Russian Federation. Boycotts, protests, governmental sanctions and other actions in the region could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably. The risk of doing business in the Russian Federation and other economically or politically volatile areas could adversely affect our operations and earnings. 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 U.S. 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 due to foreign laws and restrictions, should we experience substantial growth in certain foreign markets, for example in the Russian Federation, we may not be able to transfer cash balances to the United States to assist with debt servicing or other obligations.

Unfavorable Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

The reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. However, certain of our subsidiaries are located in countries other than the United States. The assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of these foreign subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at then-applicable exchange rates. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar versus these other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. These translations could result in significant changes to our results of operations from period to period. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, approximately 15.9% of our consolidated revenues related to the operations of our foreign subsidiaries.

We Rely on a Key Supplier for a Significant Portion of Our Dry Thermal Film

While we currently manufacture dry thermal film, we also purchase a large quantity of dry thermal film from a distributor located in the United States. Except for the film produced by us and sold to us by this distributor, we know of no other source for dry thermal film that performs well in our thermal imaging equipment.

9

Index to Financial Statements

If we are unable to economically manufacture dry thermal film internally or our distributor were to discontinue supplying dry thermal film or were unable to supply dry thermal film in sufficient quantities to meet our requirements, our ability to compete in the thermal imaging marketplace could be impaired, which could adversely affect our financial performance.

We Have Been Subject to Control by a Principal Stockholder

At September 30, 2008, OYO Corporation owned indirectly in the aggregate approximately 20.1% of our common stock. Accordingly, OYO Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary OYO Corporation U.S.A., is able to exercise substantial influence over our management, operations and affairs. In addition, we currently have, and may continue to have, a variety of contractual relationships with OYO Corporation and its affiliates. These relationships could further enable OYO Corporation to indirectly exert substantial influence on our operations.

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. In addition, our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of the members of our senior management. If we fail to continue to attract and retain such professionals, our ability to compete in the industry could be adversely affected.

A General Downturn in the Economy in Future Periods May Adversely Affect Our Business

The current downturn in the economy, and any economic slowdown in future periods, could adversely affect our business in ways that we cannot predict. During times of economic slowdown, our customers may reduce their capital expenditures and defer or cancel pending projects. Such developments occur even among customers that are not experiencing financial difficulties. Any economic downturn may adversely affect the demand for oil and gas generally or cause volatility in oil and gas commodity prices and, therefore, adversely affect the demand for our services to the oil and gas industry and related service and equipment. It could also adversely affect the demand for consumer products, which could in turn adversely affect our thermal solutions business. To the extent these factors adversely affect other seismic companies in the industry, there could be an oversupply of products and services and downward pressure on pricing for seismic products and services, which could adversely affect us. Additionally, bankruptcies or financial difficulties among our customers could reduce our cash flows and adversely impact our liquidity and profitability.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are a party to what we believe is routine litigation and proceedings that may be considered as part of the ordinary course of our business.

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, including the accompanying notes, and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K, included under the heading “Risk Factors”. 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 Assumptions” contained in this Item 7 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Background

We design and manufacture instruments and equipment used in the acquisition and processing of seismic data as well as in the characterization and monitoring of producing oil and gas reservoirs. We have been in the seismic instrument and equipment business since 1980 and market our products primarily to the oil and gas industry. We also design, manufacture and distribute thermal imaging equipment and thermal media products targeted at the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile market sectors. We have been manufacturing thermal imaging products in what is called our Thermal Solutions segment since 1995. For a more detailed discussion of our business segments and products, see the information under the heading “Business” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impact of Hurricane Ike

Our fourth quarter results were adversely affected by the impact of Hurricane Ike which hit the Texas Gulf Coast on September 12, 2008. Although we did not suffer significant damage to our Pinemont facility, the majority of our facility was without electrical power and we were unable to conduct our manufacturing, shipping and receiving activities for 10 days. After resuming these activities upon restoration of electrical power, we were able to manufacture and deliver a substantial amount of orders which were delayed by Hurricane Ike. However, we estimate that approximately $1.8 million of revenues were deferred to future periods, and approximately $0.5 million of operating income was lost or deferred to future periods. We received an insurance settlement in the amount of $0.2 million related to business interruption losses from Hurricane Ike.

Worldwide Economic Crisis

Demand for many of our products depends primarily on the level of worldwide oil exploration activity and, to a lesser extent, natural gas exploration activities in North America. That activity, in turn, depends primarily on prevailing oil and gas prices and availability of seismic data. The recent escalation of the domestic financial crisis arising out of the meltdown of the subprime lending market has caused significant distress to many global financial lending institutions, leading to a broader global financial crisis and a tightening of the availability of commercial credit. Many economists are now predicting a prolonged worldwide economic recession and a slow recovery in the credit markets. These recessionary fears combined with a recent decline in worldwide demand for energy has caused energy commodity prices to decline sharply in recent months. Oil prices have declined substantially from an all-time high of approximately $140 per barrel earlier in the year. Natural gas prices have also declined to lower levels in our North American markets. We expect these events to result in a decline in energy exploration activities in North America and in certain international markets as oil and gas producers consider reducing their exploration efforts in the near term. Furthermore, we believe our seismic customers relying on credit markets as the source of funds for their capital spending are likely to scale back their activities until financial markets stabilize and demand for exploration activities increase.

The uncertainty of these global economic matters and their ultimate impact on energy exploration activities and on our customer’s ability to access credit markets may cause a significant decline in the demand for our

15

Index to Financial Statements

seismic products. Many of our customers rely on external financing to execute their projects, and new and pending projects may be delayed due to the challenges of securing financing. If these economic events continue into the foreseeable future, they could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and profits in fiscal year 2009 and in future years.

We continue to monitor the impact that these economic conditions may have on our operations. We believe that our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and cash borrowings available under our credit facility will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Despite the economic slowdown, we experienced strong worldwide demand for our seismic exploration and industrial products throughout fiscal year 2008. However, sales of our seismic reservoir products declined in fiscal year 2008 due to the delivery of a $16.2 million seabed reservoir characterization system in our first quarter of fiscal year 2007. These reservoir characterization products generally have higher profit margins than our traditional seismic exploration products.

In fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we recognized significant revenues from our reservoir characterization products and we are particularly pleased with the increasing acceptance of our borehole reservoir imaging products. However, as we have reported in the past, our sales and operating profits have varied significantly from quarter-to-quarter, and even year-to-year, and are expected to continue that trend in the future, especially when our quarterly financial results are impacted by the presence or absence of these relatively large, but somewhat erratic, shipments of seismic seabed and/or borehole reservoir characterization systems. At present, we do not have any large orders for seabed reservoir characterization products in our backlog, although, we are optimistic about a number of on-going negotiations with customers concerning these products. We cannot now determine what impact, if any, these potential orders may have on our future quarterly financial results. The quote-to-contract time for large permanent and retrievable seabed seismic data acquisition systems is generally quite long, and since these sales are not recognized in our financial statements until the products are shipped or accepted, the exact timing of any future sales can dramatically affect our quarterly results.

We report and evaluate financial information for two segments: Seismic and Thermal Solutions. Summary financial data by business segment follows (in thousands):

Index to Financial Statements

Overview

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2008 decreased $3.6 million, or 2.6%, from fiscal year 2007. The decrease in net sales resulted from the revenue recognition in the prior fiscal year of $16.9 million from reservoir characterization systems, including a $16.2 million system sold to BP for installation in the Caspian Sea. Excluding the impact of the $16.9 million reservoir characterization systems last year, our net sales for fiscal year 2008 increased $13.3 million, or 11.0%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year primarily due to stronger sales of our other seismic products. Sales of large scale systems like the $16.2 million system sold to BP are infrequent and generally do not recur in each subsequent quarter. However, our active sales efforts continue for this important product line.

Consolidated gross profits for fiscal year 2008 decreased by $3.5 million, or 6.9%, from fiscal year 2007. Decreased gross profits resulted from lower sales, and from the revenue recognition of the $16.2 million permanent reservoir characterization system in fiscal year 2007, which, like all reservoir characterization systems, yielded a significantly higher gross profit margin than our other products.

Consolidated operating expenses for fiscal year 2008 increased $3.4 million, or 14.2%, from fiscal year 2007. Such increase primarily resulted from (i) a $1.6 million increase in product development expenses resulting from new product introductions, including our wireless data acquisition system, and (ii) an increase of $1.4 million in bad debt expense primarily caused by the deteriorating financial condition of a seismic customer.

Included in our fiscal year 2008 operating income is a $0.7 million gain from the sale of a portion of a surplus property located in the Russian Federation. In fiscal year 2007, we recognized a $1.7 million gain from the sale of the remaining portion of this surplus property.

The U.S. statutory rate applicable to us for the periods reported was 35.0% and 34.0%, respectively; however, our effective tax rate was 30.7% and 30.6% for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. These lower effective tax rates included tax benefits resulting from (i) lower tax rates applicable to income earned in foreign jurisdictions, (ii) manufacturers’/producers’ deduction, (iii) research and experimentation tax credits, and (iv) extraterritorial income deduction in fiscal year 2007.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2007 increased $34.4 million, or 33.2%, from fiscal year 2006. The increase in sales reflects strong demand from customers for our seismic exploration due to higher oil and gas commodity prices. In addition, we recognized $16.9 million of revenue in fiscal year 2007 from the sale of reservoir characterization systems, including the $16.2 million system sold to BP for installation in the Caspian Sea.

Consolidated gross profits for fiscal year 2007 increased by $14.2 million, or 39.3%, from fiscal year 2006. The increase in gross profits resulted primarily from increased sales of all products, including the $16.9 million sale of reservoir characterization systems which have higher gross profit margins.

Consolidated operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 increased $2.3 million, or 10.6%, from fiscal year 2006. The increase in operating expenses primarily resulted from increased incentive compensation expense, research and development expenses and other cost increases consistent with the increase in net sales.

Included in our fiscal year 2007 operating income is a $1.7 million gain from the sale of a significant portion of a surplus property located in the Russian Federation.

The U.S. statutory rate applicable to us for the periods reported was 34.0%; however, our effective tax rate was 30.6% and 31.4%, for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These lower effective tax

17

Index to Financial Statements

rates included tax benefits resulting from (i) lower tax rates applicable to income earned in foreign jurisdictions, (ii) extraterritorial income deductions applicable to foreign export sales reported through December 31, 2006, (iii) manufacturers’/producers’ deduction, and (iv) research and experimentation tax credits.

Segment Results of Operations

Seismic Products

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Net Sales. Sales of our seismic products for fiscal year 2008 decreased $3.8 million, or 3.1%, from fiscal year 2007. Our fiscal year 2008 seismic exploration product sales increased $9.4 million and our industrial product revenues increased by $2.3 million. However, our fiscal year 2008 seismic reservoir product and service sales decreased by $15.6 million primarily due to the $16.2 million seabed reservoir characterization system sold to BP in fiscal year 2007 without any similar seabed reservoir characterization sale recurring in fiscal year 2008.

Operating Income. Operating income from sales of our seismic products for fiscal year 2008 decreased $8.8 million, or 24.5%, from fiscal year 2007. The decrease in operating income in fiscal year 2008 primarily resulted from a decline in reservoir characterization system product sales and a decline in gains resulting from the sale of a surplus property.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Net Sales. Sales of our seismic products for fiscal year 2007 increased $34.0 million, or 38.4%, from fiscal year 2006. All product groups contributed to the increase in sales, including a $23.6 million increase in seismic exploration product sales and an $8.9 million increase in seismic reservoir characterization product sales. These sales increases resulted from increasing worldwide oil and gas exploration activities creating higher demand for our seismic exploration products, and from increasing demand and acceptance by customers for our reservoir characterization product technologies, including a $16.2 million seabed reservoir characterization system sold to BP. Our reservoir characterization products generally yield higher gross margins than do our other seismic exploration products. Our industrial products, including offshore cables, industrial cables and industrial sensors also generated higher revenues during fiscal year 2007.

Operating Income. Operating income from sales of our seismic products for fiscal year 2007 increased $13.6 million, or 60.8%, from fiscal year 2006. Our operating income increased in fiscal year 2007 due to increased sales of our seismic products from a greater mix of reservoir characterization products which yield higher profit margins, and from gains from the sale of a portion of a surplus property in the Russian Federation.

Thermal Solutions Products

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Net Sales. Sales of our thermal solutions products for fiscal year 2008 decreased $0.1 million, or 0.7%, from fiscal year 2007. There were no substantial sales increases or decreases in any product category.

Operating Income. Our operating income from our thermal solutions products for fiscal year 2008 increased $0.7 million, or 107.9%, from fiscal year 2007. The increase in operating income resulted from improvements in manufacturing processes resulting in significant cost reductions. Such increases in operating income were partially offset by higher operating expenses for selling, advertising, and product development expenses associated with new product introductions in fiscal year 2008.

Index to Financial Statements

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Net Sales. Sales of our thermal solutions products for fiscal year 2007 increased $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from fiscal year 2006. This increase in sales resulted from a small increase in equipment sales offset by a decline in sales of thermal film products. In addition, approximately 30% of our thermal solutions sales originate in Europe and such transactions are conducted in the local applicable currency. The strengthening of these currencies against the U.S. dollar during fiscal year 2007 has contributed to the increase in consolidated sales for this business segment.

Operating Income. Our operating income from our thermal solutions products for fiscal year 2007 increased $67,000, or 12.2%, from fiscal year 2006. Such increase in operating income is the result of increased sales, foreign currency impact on profits recorded by our European subsidiary, and manufacturing process improvements.

Facilities Expansion

In fiscal year 2007, we completed a construction project to expand our Pinemont facility manufacturing space to approximately double its original size. We are producing products in this facility and continue the process of adding and assembling the appropriate manufacturing machinery and equipment to expand our production capacity. The total cost of this facility expansion, including initial machinery and equipment purchases, was $14.5 million. Costs for the facility expansion and machinery and equipment were funded from our internal cash flows and from borrowings under the Credit Agreement, discussed below under the heading “—Liquidity and Capital Resources”. In March 2008, we entered into an $8.8 million long-term loan secured by a mortgage on our Pinemont facility and used the proceeds to repay an existing $2.6 million mortgage on the Pinemont facility and borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Incentive Compensation Program

We adopted an incentive compensation program for fiscal year 2008 whereby most employees will be eligible to begin earning incentive compensation upon the Company reaching a five percent pretax return on shareholders’ equity, determined as of September 30, 2007. To be eligible to participate in the incentive compensation program, employees must participate in our Core Values Program. Based on our experience in prior years, we expect one hundred percent of our employees to participate in the Core Values Program. The incentive compensation program does not apply to the employees of our Russian subsidiary as such employees participate in a locally administered bonus program. Certain non-executive employees will be required to achieve specific goals to earn a significant portion of their total incentive compensation award. Bonus awards earned under this program will be paid out to eligible employees after the end of fiscal year 2008.

Upon reaching the five percent threshold under this proposed program, an incentive compensation accrual will be established equal to twenty percent of the amount of any consolidated pretax profits above the five percent pretax return threshold. The maximum aggregate bonus available under the program for fiscal year 2008 is $3.6 million, and we have accrued $3.1 million of incentive compensation expense for fiscal year 2008.

Under a similar program in fiscal year 2007, we accrued $3.2 million of incentive compensation expense for fiscal year 2007. This accrual represented one hundred percent of the aggregate bonus allowed under the fiscal year 2007 incentive compensation program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2008, we had $1.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. For fiscal year 2008, we used approximately $8.0 million of cash in operating activities. Sources of cash generated in our operating activities primarily resulted from our net income of $14.2 million. Additional sources of cash include non-cash charges to

19

Index to Financial Statements

our net income of $0.4 million for deferred taxes, $4.6 million for depreciation and amortization, $1.6 million for bad debts, and $1.0 million for inventory obsolescence. These sources of cash were more than offset by (i) a $15.1 million increase in inventories resulting from the production of new products (primarily for our new wireless data acquisition system) and from growth in our work-in-process inventories resulting from an increase in our customer order backlog, (ii) a $13.7 million increase in trade accounts and notes receivable resulting from sales to customers requesting long-term financing assistance combined with a general increase in collection days, and (iii) the removal of a $0.6 million gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment. Until recent months, we have been in a period of significant demand for our products as well as the development of new product technologies, which has resulted in a build-up of our inventories to be able to continue to meet actual and anticipated future customer demand. Such increases in our inventory levels have likewise resulted in increases in our inventory obsolescence expense as the level of obsolete and slow moving inventories increase. The increased level of inventories has put greater demands on our management of inventories, and we are giving substantial attention to the management of our inventories in this context.

For fiscal year 2008, we used approximately $9.1 million of cash in investing activities, including $9.8 million for capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $0.7 million of cash proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, primarily from the sale of a portion of a surplus property located in the Russian Federation. We estimate that our total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2009 will be approximately $6.0 million to $8.0 million, which includes capital expenditures to (i) expand our fleet of rental equipment, (ii) add and replace manufacturing equipment, and (iii) upgrade software, communication and other technologies in our worldwide facilities. We expect the capital expenditures will be financed from our internal cash flow and/or from borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

For fiscal year 2008, we generated approximately $16.4 million of cash in the financing activities of our operations, resulting from (i) $9.1 million of net borrowings under the Credit Facility, (ii) $8.8 million borrowed under a term loan secured by a mortgage on our Pinemont facility and (iii) $1.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits. These sources of cash were offset by $3.1 million of principal payments under mortgage loans.

At September 30, 2007, we had $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. For fiscal year 2007, we generated approximately $12.4 million of cash in operating activities. The cash generated in operating activities primarily resulted from net income of $19.6 million, which includes non-cash charges of $3.5 million for deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. Other sources of cash from operating activities and changes in our working capital accounts included (i) a $2.5 million increase in accrued expenses and other primarily due to increased accrual for unpaid incentive compensation and product warranty expense, (ii) a $1.7 million additional reserve for bad debts and inventory obsolescence, and (iii) a $1.2 million increase in accounts payable primarily resulting from increased levels of inventories and fixed assets. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) a $7.7 million decrease in deferred revenue resulting from the recognition of revenue of a large reservoir characterization system in our first quarter, (ii) a $2.3 million increase in inventories resulting from new and anticipated customer orders, and (iii) a $3.3 million increase in accounts and notes receivable resulting from increased sales.

For fiscal year 2007, we used approximately $15.1 million of cash in investing activities, including $17.0 million for capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $1.9 million of cash proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, primarily from the sale of a portion of a surplus property located in the Russian Federation.

For fiscal year 2007, we generated approximately $2.7 million of cash in the financing activities of our operations, including a $3.1 million excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and $2.5 million received from the exercise of stock options by employees and directors. These sources of cash were partially offset by $2.3 million of net principal payments under our Credit Agreement.

At September 30, 2006, we had $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. For fiscal year 2006, we generated approximately $5.4 million of cash in operating activities. The cash generated in operating activities primarily resulted from net income of $9.8 million, which includes non-cash charges of $6.1 million for deferred

20

Index to Financial Statements

taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. Other sources of cash from operating activities and changes in our working capital accounts included (i) $9.0 million of deferred revenue resulting from advanced payments received from customers purchasing our seismic reservoir products, (ii) $4.8 million in accrued expenses primarily due to increased accrual for unpaid incentive compensation, and (iii) $2.2 million in accounts payable primarily resulting from increased inventories. These sources of cash were partially offset by a $16.2 million increase in inventories due to increased orders from our seismic customers, and an $11.2 million increase in accounts and notes receivable resulting from increased sales activity.

For fiscal year 2006, we used approximately $4.6 million of cash in investing activities, including $4.8 million for capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $0.3 million of cash proceeds we received from the sale of surplus land.

For fiscal year 2006, we used approximately $1.0 million of cash in the financing activities of our operations, which we obtained from net repayment of borrowings under the Credit Agreement in the amount of $3.3 million. Such use of cash was partially offset by $1.4 million of cash received from the exercise of stock options by employees and a director, and a $0.9 million tax benefit related to such stock option exercises.

On November 22, 2004, several of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank. Under the Credit Agreement, our borrower subsidiaries can borrow up to $25.0 million principally secured by their accounts receivable, inventories and equipment. The Credit Agreement expires on January 31, 2010. The Credit Agreement limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness, requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios, restricts our and our borrower subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and contains other covenants customary in agreements of this type. We believe that the ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth and the asset coverage ratio could prove to be the most restrictive. The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Agreement is, at our borrower subsidiaries’ option, a discounted prime rate or a LIBOR based rate. At September 30, 2008, there were borrowings of $10.0 million under the Credit Agreement and additional available borrowings of $15.0 million.

We plan to seek to extend the credit facility with our existing lender and expect to be able to do so, but have no assurances that we will be able to do so under favorable terms, particularly in light of the ongoing financial crisis. The existing facility does not expire until January 31, 2010. We are able to borrow the full $25.0 million under the Credit Agreement subject to the maintenance of certain financial ratios. We anticipate that the existing cash balance as of September 30, 2008, cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our existing credit facility will provide adequate cash flows and liquidity for fiscal year 2009. We expect that the liquidity from such amounts and cash flows from operations in fiscal year 2009 will satisfy the capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments, and operational budgets for the upcoming year.

On March 13, 2008, we obtained an $8.8 million mortgage from a bank. The proceeds were used to payoff our existing $2.6 million mortgage on the Pinemont facility and the remaining proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The mortgage is collateralized by the Pinemont property and buildings. The mortgage interest rate is a floating rate based on LIBOR plus 150 basis points.

A summary of future payments owed for contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of September 30, 2008 are shown in the table below (in thousands):

21

Index to Financial Statements

We believe that the combination of existing cash reserves, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement should provide us sufficient capital resources and liquidity to fund our planned operations through fiscal year 2009. However, there can be no assurance that such sources of capital will be sufficient to support our capital requirements in the long-term, and we may be required to issue additional debt or equity securities in the future to meet our capital requirements. There can be no assurance we would be able to issue additional equity or debt securities in the future on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any obligations which meet the definition of an off-balance sheet arrangement and which have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial statements or the items contained therein that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 debt reserves, inventory obsolescence reserves, self-insurance reserves for medical expenses, product warranty reserves, intangible assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of purchased businesses over the estimated fair value of the acquired business’ net assets. Under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or “SFAS”, 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed periodically for impairment. Intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives; however, no maximum life applies. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, we no longer record goodwill amortization expense. We review the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets to determine whether there has been an impairment since the date of the relevant acquisition. We have elected to make September 30 the annual impairment assessment date and will perform additional impairment tests if a change in circumstances occurs that would indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may exceed their fair value amount. Under the SFAS 157 framework and the lack of quoted prices for identical items or an independent market analysis, we estimate the fair market value based on Level 3 inputs using an income based approach. The goodwill impairment is tested at our Company’s seismic segment level as the goodwill relates to the purchase of a seismic related company. The impairment test uses a weighted average cost of capital. The growth rate is based on the projected inflation rate. The assessment is performed in two steps: step one is to test for potential impairment and if potential losses are identified, step two is to measure the impairment loss. We performed step one at September 30, 2008 and found that there were no impairments at that time; thus, step two was not necessary.

We primarily derive revenue from the sale, and short-term rental under operating leases, of seismic instruments and equipment and thermal solutions products. We generally recognize sales revenues when our products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. We recognize rental revenues as earned over the rental period. Rentals of our equipment generally range from daily rentals to rental periods of up to nine months or longer. Except for certain of our reservoir characterization products, our products are generally sold without any customer acceptance provisions and our standard terms of sale do not allow customers to return products for credit. In instances where the customer requires a significant performance test for our new and unproven products, we do not recognize the revenue attributable to the product as to which the performance test applies until the performance test is satisfied. Collection of revenue from the sale of large-scale reservoir

22

Index to Financial Statements

characterization products may occur at various stages of production or after delivery of the product, and the collected funds are not refundable to the customer.

Most of our products 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 or, in the absence of historical experience, management estimates. 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.

We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

Occasionally, our seismic customers are not able to take immediate delivery of products which were specifically manufactured to the customer’s specifications. These occasions generally occur when customers face logistical issues such as project delays or with their seismic crew deployment. In these instances, our customers have asked us to hold the equipment for a short period of time until they can take physical delivery of the product (referred to as “bill and hold” arrangements). We consider the following criteria for recognizing revenue when delivery has not occurred:

We do not modify our normal billing and credit terms for these types of sales. As of September 30, 2008, we had no sales under bill and hold arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, to clarify certain aspects of accounting for uncertain tax positions, including issues related to the recognition and measurement of those tax positions. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of October 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our

23

Index to Financial Statements

consolidated financial statements. We classify interest and penalties associated with the payment of income taxes in the Other Income (Expense) section of our consolidated statement of operations. Tax return filings which are subject to review by local tax authorities by major jurisdiction are as follows:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” Among other requirements, SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. We early adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 as of October 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We early adopted the provisions of SFAS 159 as of October 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 as of October 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”); and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This statement documents the hierarchy of the various sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing financial statements. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements and Assumptions

This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein, if any, contain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify these forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other forward-looking information. These forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment about future events and trends based on the information currently available to us. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control. The factors listed under the caption “Risk Factors”, as well as cautionary language in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position, and actual events and results of operations may vary materially from our current expectations.

Management’s Current Outlook and Assumptions

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, seismic reservoir monitoring projects, demand for offshore cable products and industrial sensors and demand for thermal imaging technologies, 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 assumptions:

Item 7A. 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 and interest rates, as well as other factors, actual results could differ materially from those projected in this forward looking information.

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 for purposes other than trading purposes. Further, we do not engage in commodity or commodity derivative instrument purchasing or selling transactions.

Foreign Currency and Operations Risk

One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, OYO-GEO Impulse, is located in the Russian Federation. Therefore, our financial results may be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, weak economic conditions in the Russian Federation or changes in its political climate. Our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2008 reflected approximately $7.1 million of net working capital related to OYO-GEO Impulse. For third-party transactions, OYO-GEO Impulse both receives its income and pays its expenses primarily in rubles. To the extent that transactions of OYO-GEO Impulse are settled in rubles, a devaluation of the ruble versus the U.S. dollar could reduce any contribution from OYO-GEO Impulse to our consolidated results of operations and total comprehensive income as reported in U.S. dollars. We do not hedge the market risk with respect to our operations in the Russian Federation; therefore, such risk is a general and unpredictable risk of future disruptions in the valuation of rubles versus U.S. dollars to the extent such disruptions result in any reduced valuation of OYO-GEO Impulse’s net working capital or future contributions to our consolidated results of operations. At September 30, 2008, the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the ruble was 1:25.2. If the U.S. dollar versus ruble exchange rate were to decline by ten percent, our working capital could decline by $0.7 million.

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 currency of our foreign subsidiaries, 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 September 30, 2008, we had outstanding accounts and notes receivable of $2.0 million and $2.0 million from our subsidiaries in the Russian Federation and Canada, respectively. At September 30, 2008, the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to ruble was 1:25.2 and the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian Dollar was 1:0.96. If the U.S. dollar exchange rate were to decline by ten percent, our intercompany accounts and notes receivable could decline by $0.2 million in the Russian Federation and $0.2 million in Canada.

Floating Interest Rate Risk

The Credit Agreement and the real estate mortgage agreement for our Pinemont facility each contain a floating interest rate. 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 Credit Agreement, our borrowing interest rate is a discounted prime lending rate or a LIBOR based rate, whichever we select. Under the real estate mortgage agreement, our borrowing rate is a LIBOR based rate plus 150 basis points. As of September 30, 2008, we had borrowings of $10.0 million under the Credit Agreement at a borrowing rate of 3.7% and had standby letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $7,500. We also had borrowings of $8.6 million outstanding under our real estate mortgage agreement at a rate of 4.0%. Due to the amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities, including potential borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, any increased interest costs associated with

26

Index to Financial Statements

movements in market interest rates could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flow. At September 30, 2008, based on our current level of borrowings, a 1.0% increase in interest rates would increase our interest expense annually by approximately $0.2 million.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Our consolidated financial statements, including the reports thereon, the notes thereto and supplementary data begin at page F-1 of this Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 7, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2006, on December 7, 2006, we notified PricewaterhouseCoopers L.L.P. (“PwC”), our independent registered public accounting firm, that our Audit Committee decided to dismiss PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 and through December 7, 2006, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years.

As further disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 7, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2006, our Audit Committee decided to engage UHY LLP (“UHY”) as our independent registered public accounting firm effective on December 7, 2006. UHY has acted as our independent registered public accounting firm beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. Since December 7, 2006, UHY has not resigned, declined to stand for reelection or been dismissed, and there has been no disagreement related to accounting principles, audit procedures or financial statement disclosure between us and UHY, and UHY continues to serve as our independent public accountant.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s reports.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as of September 30, 2008 of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2008 in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this annual report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Because of its inherent

27

Index to Financial Statements

limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008 has been audited by UHY LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company installed new accounting software at its subsidiary in the Russian Federation. The new accounting software contains automated internal control features that will permit the Company to migrate away from the manual internal control processes required by the older system. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our management’s evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of OYO Geospace Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OYO Geospace Corporation and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of OYO Geospace Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of OYO Geospace Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated December 4, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of OYO Geospace Corporation:

We have audited OYO Geospace Corporation’s (“the Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Part II, Item 9A of this Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, OYO Geospace Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of OYO Geospace Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and our report dated December 4, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
