     (a) Represents grants of Options to acquire 16,106 shares annually on March
20, 1992 through 1996 to Messrs. McKee and Carolus pursuant to the 1992
Directors' Stock Option Plan, as amended on October 28, 1993 (the "Directors'
Plan").  The shares issued under these Options have been automatically adjusted
as a result of 10% stock dividends occurring annually on December 22, 1993
through 1997.  The exercise prices of the 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 Option
grants were

                                       3
<PAGE>

$3.00, $3.125, $3.50, $2.25 and $1.75, per share, respectively, which were the
NASDAQ closing prices on the date of the grants ($1.86, $1.94, $2.39, $1.69,
$1.45 and $1.76 per share, respectively, after automatic adjustment for the 10%
stock dividends occurring annually on December 22, 1993 through 1997). The
Options became exercisable six (6) months after the date of the grants, and will
expire ten (10) years from the date of grant.

     (b) On September 3, 1996, an additional one-time grant of an Option to
acquire 60,500 shares (as adjusted for the 10% stock dividends occurring on
December 22, 1996 and 1997) was made to each of Messrs. McKee and Carolus
pursuant to the Directors' Plan.  The exercise price of these Option grants was
$2.125  per share, which was the NASDAQ closing price on September 3, 1996.
These Options will vest at the rate of 20% (12,100 shares) per year on September
3, 1997 through 2001.

     The Company maintains a 401K Plan which was effective January 1, 1989, and
is available for participation by all employees without minimum age or service
requirements.  Each participating employee can defer up to 17% of his annual
compensation to a specified limit.  The Company matches 100% of the employee's
deferrals, with such matching contributions not to exceed 3% of the employee's
annual compensation.  The Company's total contributions to the Plan for fiscal
year 1999 were $168,000.

     Directors' fees are payable to each Director for attendance at all regular
and special board meetings for the Company.  Messrs. McKee and Carolus, although
Directors, are not paid Directors' fees.  Richard E. Minshall, Anthony
Pantaleoni and John H. Williams, Sr., the Company's outside Directors, have each
been paid the sum of $6,000 for attendance at board meetings during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1999.  Compensation of $1,500 per meeting to the outside
Directors was originally determined as part of the Company's acquisition of NMP
Corp. in March of 1988, and has continued thereafter to provide some
compensation for the efforts and time expended by Messrs. Minshall, Pantaleoni
and Williams.  While there are only four to six scheduled meetings of the Board
of Directors in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on a yearly basis, there is a substantial
number of communications by and between the Directors throughout the course of
the year which are not in any way compensated.

                            Stock Performance Graph

     The following graph compares the Company's five-year cumulative total
return to the NASDAQ U.S. Stock Index and the S&P Electronic Defense Index over
a period beginning on March 31, 1994, and ending on March 31, 1999.  The total
stockholder return assumes $100 invested on March 31, 1994, in the Company and
each of the Indexes shown.  It also assumes reinvestment of all dividends.

     The Company is in a unique industry and has few competitors manufacturing
electrical generation and control equipment, primarily for military application,
switching panel boards,

                                       4
<PAGE>

switchboards, and electronic components. The Company's primary competitors are
not publicly traded on any U.S. Stock Market and therefore, no financial data is
obtainable for comparative purposes.

     With the acquisition of E. Systems, Inc. in mid-1995 and Loral Corp. in
January of 1996, the S&P Electronic Defense Index is now composed solely of one
company, EG&G, Inc.  The public acquisitions of E. Systems, Inc. and Loral
Corp., at substantial premiums over the then trading prices of these companies,
has, in the Company's opinion, resulted in a substantial inflation of the
performance of the S&P Electronic Defense Index for the period March 31, 1995
through March 31, 1998.  Moreover, since the Defense Index contains only one
company, it is not actually representative of an industry group or segment.  The
Company has explored other possible indexes for purposes of future reporting,
but does not believe that any existing industry segment index provides
meaningful comparisons as of this date.

     Price performance of the Company's Common Stock may be affected by many
factors other than earnings, including the small capitalization of the Company,
limited availability of public float, and the relatively small number of market
makers in the Company stock.  Past financial performance should not be
considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors
should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future
periods.

                              Compensation Report

     The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the policies that govern
the Company's compensation programs, administering the Company's stock option
plans, and establishing the cash compensation of Executive Officers.  Due to its
small size, the Board has determined that a Compensation Committee is not needed
and all matters of compensation for Executive Officers is determined by the
Board as a whole.  Generally, compensation matters are considered by the Board
in March of each year when sufficient financial information is available for the
Board to review projected year-end results.

     While the Board reviews the financial performance of the Company on an
annual basis in connection with its compensation review, such policies of the
Board are informal and are, to a large part, subjective.

     The Board's determination of executive compensation is centered on six
factors, including:

     1.   Earnings per share;

     2.   Enhancement of net worth;

     3.   Backlog/development of defense contracts;

     4.   Reputation for quality;

     5.   Expansion of product base and services, including development of new
electrical generation and control devices, within the defense industry; and,

     6.   Diversification into commercial, non-defense related, products.

     The Board has no quantifiable compensation formulas or policies based on
the six factors set forth above.  For example, the annual salaries of Messrs.
McKee and Carolus were increased only once during the fiscal year 1988 through
fiscal year 1994 even though the Company's net worth and earnings per share
continued to grow annually during that period.  The salaries of Messrs. McKee
and Carolus have remained the same for four of the last five fiscal years of the
Company.  The bonus compensation of Messrs. McKee and Carolus for the fiscal
year ending 1998 was reduced from the fiscal year March 31, 1997 in recognition
of decreased net earnings and in recognition of the tightening economic
conditions in the defense industry.  No bonus was paid for the year ending March
31, 1999.  The amount of the reduction in bonus compensation was not based on a
formula, nor was it based on an equivalent percentage determined by the losses
of fiscal year 1999 as compared to fiscal year 1998.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     The decrease in bonus is not intended to reflect negatively on the
performance of the Company's Executive Officers.  Since approximately 1992,
general economic conditions of corporations in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area as well
as other corporations in the defense industry generally, indicated that the
salary structures of Messrs. McKee and Carolus, were low.  The level of bonus
compensation was based in part on an effort to maintain the overall compensation
packages of its Executive Officers in a competitive position with equivalent
companies.  However, rather than continue this practice, the Directors
determined in 1998 to raise the base salary compensation of Messrs. McKee and
Carolus and accordingly reduce bonus compensation.

     As amended effective March 31, 1998, Ernest H. McKee's salary was raised
from $150,000 to $225,000 and the annual salary of Paul R. Carolus was raised
from $90,000 to $130,000.  The Board believes the new salary structure is
competitive with equivalent corporations in the same or similar business sectors
as the Company and is particularly appropriate given the efforts of the
Executive Officers in transitioning the Company from a primarily engineered
switchgear company to electrical generation and control products.

     Messrs. McKee and Carolus, as Directors of the Company, also participate in
options granted pursuant to the Directors' Plan, along with each of the other
three Directors.  However, as set forth in Tables II and III hereof,
participation in the Directors' Plan cannot be said to provide an adequate
incentive or award for the services of the Company's Officers.

     The Directors' Plan, which was adopted by the Shareholders of the Company
in 1992, provided for the issuance of options to acquire 16,106 (as adjusted by
the annual dividends on December 22, 1993 through 1997) shares of the Company's
Common Stock to Directors of the Company annually for a five-year period at an
exercise price which is equal to the reported closing price of NASDAQ on the
date of grant.  In 1996, the Directors' Plan was amended to provide for the one-
time grant of an option to acquire 60,500 shares (as adjusted for the 10% stock
dividend occurring on December 22, 1996 and 1997) of the Company's Common Stock
at an exercise price equal to the reported closing price of NASDAQ on September
3, 1996.  The option vests 20% of the 60,500 shares on each of September 3,
1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.  The Directors' Plan is automatic in that the
amount of the grants and the computation of the exercise price are fixed by the
Plan previously adopted by the Shareholders and no action by the Board of
Directors is required to perfect the award. It was originally designed as an
incentive to maintain appropriate members on the Board and to induce others to
become members of the Board should that be in the best interest of the Company's
shareholders.

                              Stock Option Plans

Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan of Westwood Corporation

     On March 20, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Incentive Stock Option
Plan"), which was approved by the Stockholders of the Company at the Annual
Meeting held September 24, 1992.  The Incentive Stock Option Plan is intended to
assist the Company in securing and retaining key employees by allowing them to
participate in the ownership and growth of the Company through the grant of
incentive and non-qualified options to full-time employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries.  Incentive stock options granted under the Incentive Stock
Option Plan are intended to be "Incentive Stock Options" as defined by Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     The Incentive Stock Option Plan originally provided that 300,000 shares of
Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted
under the Incentive Stock Option Plan.  The Incentive Stock Option Plan was
automatically adjusted as a result of the 10% stock dividends occurring annually
on December 22, 1993 through 1997.  A total of 483,153 shares are now reserved
for issuance under its terms.  The Incentive Stock Option Plan is administered
by the Board of Directors, which determines who shall receive options, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under options, the time
and manner of exercise of options and option prices.  The term of options
granted under the Incentive Stock Option Plan may not exceed ten years (five
years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an optionee owning
more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company (a "10% Holder")).  The price
for incentive stock options shall not be less than 100% of the "fair market
value" of the shares of Common Stock at the time the Option is granted;
provided, however, that with respect to an incentive stock option, in the case
of a 10% Holder, the purchase price per share shall be at least 110% of such
fair market value.  The price for non-qualified options shall not be less than
75% of the "fair market value" of the shares of Common Stock at the time the
option is granted.  The aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock as to which an optionee may exercise incentive stock options may not
exceed $100,000 in any calendar year.  Payment for shares of Common Stock
purchased upon exercise of options is to be made in cash, check or other
instrument, but in the discretion of the Board of Directors, may be made by
delivery of other shares of Common Stock of the Company.

     Under certain circumstances involving a change in the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock without the receipt by the Company of any consideration
therefor, such as a stock split, stock consolidation or payment of a stock
dividend, the class and aggregate number of shares of Common Stock in respect of
which options may be granted under the Incentive Stock Option Plan, the class
and number of shares subject to each outstanding option and the option price per
share will be proportionately adjusted.  In addition, if the Company is involved
in a merger or consolidation, the options granted under the 1992 Stock Option
Plan will be adjusted proportionately.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     An option may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
and, during the lifetime of the option holder, may be exercised only by such
holder.

     The Incentive Stock Option Plan will terminate on September 24, 2002, and
may be terminated at any time prior to that date by the Board of Directors.

     On November 17, 1994, the Board of Directors approved the total issuance of
options entitling key employees to obtain, in the aggregate, 146,410 shares of
the Company's Common Stock (as adjusted by the 10% stock dividends occurring
annually on December 22, 1994 through 1997), with said amount being issued to
nine (9) employees as determined by the Board of Directors.  For purposes of
determining distributions and provisions of the stock option issuances to
employees, Messrs. McKee and Carolus noted that they did not plan to participate
in any way in the Incentive Stock Option Plan and therefore all Directors served
to determine those individuals entitled to stock options.  The issuance of the
options to employees on November 17, 1994, contained an exercise price of $2.25
per share, which was the NASDAQ closing share price as of that date ($1.54 per
share after automatic adjustment for the 10% stock dividends occurring annually
on December 22, 1994 through 1997).  Options granted to employees on November
17, 1994, are exercisable for a period of five (5) years except that no option
may be exercised during the first six months following the date of the grant.
In the event of any of the employees' termination, for any reason, the options
held on the date of termination may be exercised in whole or in part at any time
within one (1) year after the date of termination.  There have been no
additional issuances of options under the Incentive Stock Option Plan since
November 17, 1994.

Directors' Stock Option Plan

     On March 20, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan") which was approved by
Stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting held September 24, 1992.  The
Directors' Plan originally provided for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of
Common Stock.  An additional 100,000 shares were authorized for issuance under
the Directors' Plan by the Stockholders on October 28, 1993.  On March 20, 1996,
grants of options to acquire 14,641 shares of the Company's Common Stock were
issued to each of the Directors of the Company pursuant to the terms of the
Directors' Plan, which represented the final options reserved under the October
28, 1993 authorization.

     In 1996, the Directors' Plan was amended (the "1996 Amendment"), as
approved by the Shareholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting, to provide
for the one-time grant of an option to acquire 50,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $2.125 per share.  The 1996 Amendment imposed a vesting schedule
which vests 20% of the 50,000 shares on each of September 3, 1997 through 2001.
Additionally, the 1996 Amendment increased the term of the Options granted
pursuant to the Directors' Plan to ten (10) years from the grant date of each
Option and, with respect to the one-time grant of an Option to purchase 50,000
shares, ten years from the

                                       10
<PAGE>

vesting date of any 20% increment thereof. Finally, the 1996 Amendment increased
the number of shares available under the Directors' Plan by an additional
200,000 shares from 266,200 to 466,200.

     The Directors' Plan was automatically adjusted as a result of the 10% stock
dividends occurring annually on December 22, 1993 through 1997.  The Directors'
Plan was also increased as a result of an amendment approved by the Shareholders
at the 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("1997 Amendment") which authorized
the additional authorization of Options representing 50,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to John H. Williams, Sr. as a result of his appointment
to the Board of Directors.  As a result of the 1997 Amendment and the 10% stock
dividend occurring on December 22, 1997, a total of 619,120 shares are now
reserved for issuance under its terms.

     All options granted are exercisable six months after the grant date, and
shall expire ten years after the grant date, except in the case of a Director's
death or permanent disability, upon which event the options immediately vest and
are exercisable for a period of one year thereafter and then would terminate.
If a Director's membership on the Board of Directors terminates for any reason,
any option held on such date may be exercised any time within one year after the
date of termination, unless the option terminates sooner by its terms.

     The Directors' Stock Option Plan was originally adopted to provide
additional incentive to Directors of the Company, the benefits of which would be
tied directly to stock performance of the Company.  Moreover, it was hoped that
the Plan could partially compensate the three outside Directors, Messrs.
Minshall, Pantaleoni and Williams, for the considerable amount of consulting and
communication time spent by them outside of Board meetings.  While compensated
at the rate of $1,500 per Board meeting, this compensation only applies when
they actually participate in a Board meeting.  They are not otherwise
compensated for their additional efforts during the year. Additionally, Ernest
H. McKee and Paul R. Carolus, do not participate in the Company's Incentive and
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.  The only Options received by Messrs. McKee and
Carolus are as part of the Directors' Stock Option Plan.

     When originally instituted in 1992, an average trading price for Common
Stock of the Company was approximately $3.00 per share and it was hoped that the
price per share of the Common Stock would grow by approximately 10% per year,
which would result in a potential gain to each Director of approximately $3,000
on an annual basis.  However, as of the date hereof, none of the Options issued
to Directors over the last eight years have resulted in any gain and none have
been exercised.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
          ----------------------------------------------

     Messrs. McKee and Carolus have employment contracts with the Company
through March 2000.  These contracts, as amended effective March 31, 1998,
provide for a base salary of $225,000 for Mr. McKee and $130,000 for Mr.
Carolus.  Bonus provisions are subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors.  Both contracts provide for other benefits to these individuals,
including Company owned automobiles, club memberships, and reimbursement of
business expenses.  Although both contracts can be terminated by the Board of
Directors, at its discretion, each contract provides for continued salary
payments through March of 2000.

     Minshall & Company, Inc., provides services to the Company in regard to
public news releases and public relations matters.  A fee of $1,500 per month is
paid to Minshall & Company, Inc., for these services.  For the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999, the total sum of $18,000 was paid to Minshall & Company, Inc.,
in connection with these services.

     In conjunction with the sale of RoxCorp. to Roxtec in September, 1997, NMP
Corp., the Company's subsidiary located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, entered into an
Administrative Services Agreement with RoxCorp. to provide certain
administrative services and facilities to RoxCorp. on a month-to-month basis
including office and warehouse space, and telephone service.  Either party can
terminate the Administrative Services Agreement upon sixty (60) days' notice.
The services provided, and the consideration to be received, were essentially
identical to those previously provided based on the then inter-corporate expense
allocation determined by NMP Corp. and RoxCorp.  During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999, NMP Corp. received the sum of $88,000 from RoxCorp. pursuant to
the Administrative Services Agreement.

     Matthew E. McKee, a son of Ernest H. McKee, serves as Production Manager of
NMP Corp. For the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, Matthew E. McKee
received salary of $64,000 and bonus compensation of $5,800.  Matthew E. McKee's
current salary is $64,000 per year which includes a car allowance of $500 per
month.  Mr. McKee obtained a B.B.A. degree from the University of Texas, College
of Business in 1992 and has been employed in various management capacities at
NMP Corp. since 1992.
