market value (the closing price for the Company's Common Stock as reported

value (the closing price for the Company's Common Stock as reported by the

multiplying the resulting number by the number of underlying shares of

The Company has not entered into employment agreements with any of the
officers named in the foregoing tables. Consequently, there is no agreement or
policy which would result in any such named officer being entitled to severance
payments or any other compensation as a result of such officer's termination.
ASSOCIATE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the "Profit Sharing
Plan"), which qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"). The Profit Sharing Plan provides that associates who
meet a six-month service requirement automatically become participants. Each
fiscal year, the Company, at its discretion, makes a contribution to the Profit
Sharing Plan. The Company may contribute Class A Common Stock or cash to the
Profit Sharing Plan. These contributions are allocated to separate accounts of
the participants in proportion to their relative compensation, and are held in
trust and invested. Participant accounts are credited with investment gains and
losses. Vesting depends on the participant's years of service, with
contributions being fully vested after the participant has five years of
service. When an associate leaves the Company, his account under the Profit
Sharing Plan, if vested, becomes distributable in a lump sum or over a period of
time, at the discretion of the Profit Sharing Plan Administrator. No
contributions were made to the Profit Sharing Plan for fiscal years 1996, 1995,
and 1994.
The Profit Sharing Plan also includes the Odetics, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the
"401(k) Plan"). Under the 401(k) Plan, associates with at least six months of
service with the Company or any subsidiary may elect to defer up to 15% of their
annual compensation not to exceed limits set by the Code. The maximum deferral
for calendar year 1996 is $9,500.
The Company maintains an Associate Stock Ownership Plan (the "ASOP"), which
qualifies under Section 401 of the Code. The ASOP provides that associates who
meet a six-month service requirement automatically become participants. Each
fiscal year, the Company, at its discretion, makes a contribution to the ASOP.
The Company may contribute Class A Common Stock, or the cash to buy Class A
Common Stock. These contributions are allocated to separate accounts of the
participants in proportion to their relative compensation, and are held in
trust. Vesting depends on the participant's years of service, with contributions
being fully vested after the participant has five years of service. When an
associate leaves the Company, his account under the ASOP, if vested, is
distributed in shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company contributed $430,000
to the ASOP for fiscal year 1996.
The Company maintains an Executive Deferral Plan (the "Deferral Plan")
which is intended to provide deferred compensation benefits to designated
executives of the Company who contribute to the Company's growth and success.
Eligible executives may elect to defer up to 75%, but not less than $5,000, of
their annual compensation. Participation in the Deferral Plan is voluntary and
may be discontinued at any time. Payment of benefits commences upon the
retirement, death, disability of termination of employment of a participating
executive.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
No directors of the Company other than those identified above as members of
the Compensation Committee served on that Committee during fiscal 1996. No
member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of the Company
or its subsidiary during fiscal 1996. None of the executive officers of the
Company has served on the Board of Directors or on the compensation committee of
any other entity, any of whose officers served either on the Board of Directors
