Why Security?
O    Residential  security  business is  attractive  because of strong  consumer
     demand, double-digit growth rates and fragmented set of competitors
O    Home security is another  profitable service that can be offered with other
     products and services to gain customer  loyalty in anticipation of electric
     industry deregulation
O    Exposure already gained is enhanced by WSS and ADT acquisitions:
     gaining customer base, brand names, infrastructure and expertise

     customers  which made us the 10th largest  security  company,  by estimated

O    Growth further  established the Westar name with a branded product identity
O    Culminated in the acquisition of Westinghouse Security Systems
     (WSS) 12/31/96
O    Announced offer for ADT on 12/18/96
