                              WESTWOOD CORPORATION
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include Westwood
wholly-owned subsidiaries NMP Corp., TANO Corp., and MCII Electric Company.
Consolidated operations for Westwood include Peter Gray Corporation only through
April, 1999, when its operations ceased, and NMP Corp. marine hardware products
only through July, 1999, when these hardware-related assets were sold.  These
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  Management believes all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the fiscal second
quarter and six months ended September 30, 1999, may not necessarily be
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31,
2000.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in Westwood Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 1999, and the first quarter fiscal 2000 report on Form
10-Q.

Note 2 - Sale of Businesses
- ---------------------------

In April, 1999, the Company sold certain Peter Gray inventory and equipment for
$568,000, and Peter Gray operations ceased on April 30, 1999.  The Company sold
the remaining equipment at that location for $181,000 in June, 1999.  In
connection with this sale, the Company recorded a gain of $294,000 in the first
quarter ended June 30, 1999.  Proceeds from this sale were used to reduce debt.

In July, 1999, the Company sold certain marine hardware-related assets of NMP
Corp. which generated operating losses in fiscal 1999 and the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, for a total purchase price of $2,000,000.  Of the purchase price,
$1,100,000 was paid at closing, with $150,000 to be paid within 90 days, and the
remaining balance of $750,000 is to be paid in three annual installments of
$250,000.  The Company recorded a $15,000 gain in the second quarter in
connection with the sale, and proceeds were used to reduce debt.

Note 3 - Long-Term Debt
- -----------------------

On August 13, 1999, the Company closed a new bank credit facility for a
$2,000,000 revolving credit line, and a $2,000,000 five-year term note.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Proceeds from this new credit facility were used to repay all amounts
outstanding under the previous bank facility.  As part of the new bank
commitment, the Company is required to obtain $1,000,000 of subordinated debt
within 90 days of closing, which is November 12, 1999.  The Company is in the
final stages of negotiating the offer and placement of the subordinated debt and
a waiver has been requested from the bank that issued the credit facility.

Note 4 - Income Taxes
- ---------------------

The Company generated net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal 1999 and the
first six months of fiscal 2000, whereby no deferred tax asset was established
as future taxable income is not certain in fiscal 2000.  However, the Company
filed an amended tax return for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, which
resulted in a refund application of $211,000 and was recorded as a tax benefit
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

Note 5 - Comprehensive Income
- -----------------------------

For the second quarter and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, comprehensive income (loss) and net income (loss) are the same.

Note 6 - Contingencies
- ----------------------

In connection with the acquisition of MCII, the Company signed a $1,500,000
noninterest-bearing note payable with the former owner of MCII.  The note
required three annual installments, beginning in May 1998, of $500,000.  The
Company has recorded the obligation at a discount rate of 8.5%, which was
consistent with the rate obtainable from the lender of the existing revolving
credit facility in May 1997.  No payments have been made due to the
indemnification claims filed against the former owner.  Subsequent to the
acquisition of MCII, the Company was informed by U.S. government contract
officials of concerns relating to the adequacy and accuracy of certain MCII
contract accounting information.  The Company believes it has fully responded to
concerns raised.  However, as a result of this notification and other
information learned subsequent to the acquisition, the Company has filed several
indemnification claims against the former owner of MCII regarding the
representations the owner made prior to the acquisition.  The former owner has
in turn filed counter claims against the Company.  While initial settlement
discussions have commenced, it is still uncertain as to the ultimate resolution
of the claims.  Any settlement under the indemnification provision would
correspondingly reduce or increase the amount of goodwill associated with MCII
and not materially impact operating results of the Company.

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               September 30, 1999


GENERAL
- -------

Results of Operations - Second Quarter Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company had a net loss of
$504,000 compared to a net loss of $528,000 for the same quarter last year.  The
net loss per share was $.073 compared to a net loss of $.077 for the prior year.

Consolidated sales for the second quarter decreased 51.3% to $4,246,000 compared
to $8,724,000 for the previous year.  Last year's second quarter sales included
Peter Gray and NMP Corp. marine hardware product lines which were sold in April
and July, 1999, respectively.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 14.3% for the current quarter
compared to 5.9% for the same period last year.  Cost of sales for the current
quarter included additional loss reserves of $335,000 recorded by MCII in
connection with TQG first article testing and the MEP-12 contract.  Primarily as
a result of the substantially lower sales volume, the Company incurred an
operating loss of $624,000 in the current quarter compared to a loss of $725,000
for the same period last year.  Interest expense decreased 23.5% as a result of
lower borrowings.

A breakdown by company segments follows:

 .  Marine switchgear sales by NMP Corp. were $1,159,000 for the second quarter
   compared to $3,151,000 for the same period last year, which included
   $2,581,000 attributable to Peter Gray and NMP marine hardware products.

 .  Mobile power system revenues by MCII were $1,229,000 for the quarter compared
   to $4,840,000 for last year which included revenues of $1,598,000 in
   connection with the delivery of the TQG test units and $1,777,000 for MEP-12
   shipments. As a result of the low sales volume and recording of additional
   loss reserves for the TQG first article testing and the MEP-12 contract, this
   segment reported a net loss of $792,000 for the quarter compared to a net
   loss of $420,000 for the same period last year.

                                       9
<PAGE>

 .  Engineered automation and control system sales by TANO Corp. were $2,095,000,
   a substantial increase over the $985,000 for last year, which was unusually
   low due to a delay in the production release of a major contract.  As a
   result of the higher sales volume, this segment reported net income of
   $279,000 for the period compared to a net income of $8,000 for the same
   period last year.

Six Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
- --------------------------------------------

For the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of
$533,000 compared to a net loss of $480,000 for the same period last year.  Net
loss per share was $.077 compared to a net loss of $.070 per share for the prior
year.

Sales for the six months ended September 30, 1999, were $8,940,000, a 44.9%
decrease compared to $16,223,000 for the previous year.  Last year's revenues
included $4,599,000 for Peter Gray and NMP marine hardware products which were
sold in April and July, 1999, respectively.  In addition, last year's revenues
also included $1,598,000 in connection with the shipment by MCII of the TQG test
units and $3,609,000 for MEP-12 shipments.

For the six months ended September 30, 1999, gross profit, as a percentage of
sales, increased to 18.3% compared to 12.1% for the same period last year.  Last
year's gross profit margins were impacted as a result of substantial cost
overruns incurred to meet shipping dates for the TQG test units.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $855,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to an operating loss of $492,000 for the same
period last year.  The increased operating loss for the period was primarily the
result of substantially lower sales volume and a 1.6% increase in operating
expenses.  During the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Company was in
the process of a significant shift in product line direction, which included the
sale of two operations.  The Company recorded a gain of $309,000, included in
other income, in connection with the sale of these units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 1999, resulted in
net cash provided of $661,000.  During this period, major items providing cash
were depreciation and amortization of $509,000, reductions in accounts
receivable of $723,000 and income taxes receivable of $578,000, along with
increases in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts of $722,000.  The major use of operating cash flow during the period
was a $923,000 reduction in accounts payable.

The most significant investing activities for the six months ending September
30, 1999, were the sales of Peter Gray and the sale of marine hardware-related
assets of NMP Corp.  Cash proceeds received from these sales during the period
were $749,000, and $1,100,000, respectively.

As a result of these sales, along with cash flow from operations, total bank
debt was reduced $2,559,000 from $6,533,000 at March 31, 1999 to $3,974,000 at
September 30, 1999.

As disclosed in Note 3, the Company closed on August 13, 1999, a new $2,000,000
revolving credit facility and $2,000,000 five-year term note with a bank.  The
proceeds were used to repay amounts then outstanding under the existing
revolving credit facility and term note.  As part of the new bank facility, the
Company is required to obtain $1,000,000 of subordinated debt within 90 days of
closing, which is November 12, 1999.  The Company is in the final stages of
negotiating the offer and placement of the subordinated debt and a waiver has
been requested from the bank that issued the credit facility.  The Company
believes that the new credit facility and subordinated debt along with cash
provided from operations will provide adequate funding for the Company's
anticipated growth requirements.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

As a result of both internal and external review processes, the Company has
implemented new accounting, engineering, and information system software which
has been represented by the manufacturers to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company
has also acquired hardware items including additional workstations and periphery
equipment to facilitate the implementation of the new software processing
systems. The new information software system has been installed and employee
training on a Company-wide basis has been completed. The Company's new software
processing system has been installed at the offices of the Company and its
subsidiaries, NMP Corp. in Tulsa and MC II in Dallas. TANO Corp. utilizes its
own information, accounting and processing software which has been represented
by the manufacturer to be Year 2000 compliant.

The Company and its subsidiaries have conducted Year 2000 compliance surveys and
inquiries with substantially all of their vendors, suppliers, and professional
and service organizations, consisting of approximately 1500 entities. The
Company has received a return rate of approximately 95% of NMP's vendor survey
letters and 85% of MC II's vendor survey letters. Approximately 90% of the
surveys indicate general Year 2000 compliance. Those survey letters indicating a
lack of current Year 2000 compliance have provided the Company with a time line
in which these entities believe they will be Y2K compliant. The Company is
following up with vendors and suppliers that have not yet returned Year 2000
compliant surveys but does not believe that any such entities provide services
or

                                       11
<PAGE>

supplies which cannot be supplied by other suppliers in a timely fashion. The
Company has developed and put into effect certain contingency plans regarding
potential adverse effects from Year 2000 problems, but such plans do not and
cannot anticipate every possible contingency.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the Company incurred software
implementation costs of approximately $120,000. Costs of labor, and personnel
time for purposes of the Year 2000 compliance reviews, training, and
implementation were approximately $90,000. Remaining administration costs
incurred in developing contingency plans and further testing are believed to be
negligible.

The Company is relying, in part, on survey representation of approximately 1500
business organizations as well as defense related customers including the U.S.
Government to whom the Company sells its products.  The Company does not have
control over these third parties and, as a result, cannot currently estimate to
what extent future operating results may be adversely affected by the failure of
these third parties to successfully address their Year 2000 issues.

Statements included in this Form 10-Q constitute "year 2000 readiness
disclosures" subject to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act
of 1998.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2000 and Beyond
- ---------------------------------------

On June 15, 1999, the Company announced that NMP had received orders in excess
of $22,000,000 from Avondale Industries to design and build the ships service
electrical distribution systems for the LPD-17 and 18 amphibious assault ships.
TANO will also participate with NMP by supplying their proprietary TANOnet
system for the electrical communications aboard the ship.  There are twelve
ships in this class, and deliveries will begin the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000
and continue through fiscal 2004.

On July 27, 1999, MCII was notified by the United States Army that it was being
granted a conditional release on the major TQG contract.  As a result of the
production release, the Company will now begin to phase into full production the
TQG contract, which the Company anticipates to begin the week of November 15,
1999.

The Company believes that the combination of new NMP orders, the TQG production
start-up, the sale of Peter Gray and the hardware product business, which
generated operating losses in fiscal 1999 and the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
and major cost reductions implemented throughout the year will all combine to
significantly improve future operating results beginning in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000.
