                             WESTWOOD CORPORATION
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 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 for
April, 1999, when its operations ceased, and NMP Corp. marine hardware products
only through the four months ended 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 that all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended December
31, 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.

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 sales price of $2,000,000. Of the sales 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. 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 was
required to obtain $1,000,000 of subordinated debt which was accomplished on
December 23, 1999.

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

The Company generated net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal 1999 and the
first nine 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 of $211,000 and was recorded as a tax benefit for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999.

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

For the third quarter and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999, and 1998,
comprehensive loss and net loss are the same.

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

See note under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1999


GENERAL

Results of Operations - Third Quarter Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the third quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company had a net loss of
$324,000 compared to a net loss of $338,000 for the same quarter last year. The
net loss per share was $.047 compared to a net loss of $.049 for the prior year.


Consolidated sales for the third quarter decreased 45.4% to $4,133,000 compared
to $7,572,000 for the previous year. Last year's third quarter sales included
$1,871,000 from the Peter Gray and NMP Corp. marine hardware product lines, both
of which have been subsequently sold.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 18.5% for the current quarter
compared to 11.8% for the same period last year. Mobile power system revenues,
which have a lower gross profit, contributed 38.5% of total sales for the third
quarter last year but only 20.3% in the current period. The Company incurred an
operating loss of $351,000 in the current quarter compared to a loss of $409,000
for the same period last year. The improvement was primarily due to reduced SG&A
expense associated with Peter Gray and NMP Corp. hardware product lines. SG&A
expense was reduced $164,000 in the current quarter. Interest expense decreased
45% as a result of lower borrowings.

A breakdown by company segments follows:

 .      Marine switchgear sales by NMP Corp. were $1,805,000 for the third
       quarter compared to $3,163,000 for the same period last year, which

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
- --------------------------------------------

For the nine months ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of
$858,000 compared to a net loss of $818,000 for the same period last year. Net
loss per share was $.124 compared to a net loss of $.119 per share for the prior
year.

Sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, were $13,073,000, a 45%
decrease compared to $23,795,000 for the previous year. Last year's revenues
included $6,470,000 for Peter Gray and NMP marine hardware product lines which
have been subsequently sold. In addition, last year's revenues also included
$1,598,000 in connection with the shipment by MCII Electric Company of the TQG
test units, as well as $1,500,000 for MEP shipments.

For the nine months ended December 31, 1999, gross profit was 18.5% compared to
12% 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 $1,207,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999, compared to an operating loss of $901,000 for the same period
last year. The increased operating loss for the period was primarily the result
of substantially lower sales volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, resulted in
providing net cash flow of $456,000. The major items providing cash were
depreciation and amortization of $681,000, increased accounts payable of
$606,000, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts of $1,010,000, and income tax refunds of $789,000. Major use of cash
flow included increased inventories of $1,141,000, increased accounts receivable
of $464,000, and the net loss for the nine months ending December 31, 1999 of
$858,000.

Investing activities, which consisted of the sale of Peter Gray and the Hardware
Product line of NMP Corp. provided cash flow of $1,380,000.

Significant financing activities included cash usage for a reduction in debt of
$3,969,000. Proceeds from issuing convertible debentures provided cash flow of
$1,000,000.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Net cash usage for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, was $1,228,000.

Subsequent to the close of the Company's third quarter, the Company announced
the completion of a $1.0 million convertible subordinated debenture offering.
The private placement was purchased by a small group of outside investors as
well as certain officers and directors of the Company. The Notes bear interest
of 10% per annum and mature on December 23, 2004. The Notes are convertible into
common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. Each $10,000 Note is coupled with a
warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. (See, Part
II, Item 5, at page 14.)

The Company also announced on December 29, 1999 that its subsidiary, MCII
Electric Company, entered into a Settlement Agreement with the seller of MCII
Electric Company to Westwood Corporation. The effect of the settlement amounted
to a note cancellation owed by Westwood Corporation in the amount of $1.5
million, the payment of $100,000, and the creation of a new note payable to the
seller of MCII Corporation in the amount of $300,000, thereby reducing
Westwood's investment in MCII Electric Company in the amount of $1.1 million.
(See, Part II, Item 1, at page 13.)

In connection with this settlement, Westwood Corporation purchased 127,000
shares of its common stock from the seller of MCII Electric Company. This stock
is recorded as treasury stock of Westwood Corporation.

The effect of the debenture offering, and the MCII Electric Company settlement
provides for a net improvement in the Company's working capital. At December 31,
1999, $1,200,000 was available under the Company's revolving credit line.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company completed the company-wide project to address the year 2000
compliance issues for all technology hardware and software, and has either
purchased or produced external interfaces with customers and suppliers,
operations process controls, account and other information systems and facility
items. The implementation phase of this project as it related to traditional
information technology areas was completed prior to December 31, 1999.

The Company utilized both internal and external resources to complete this
process. Costs incurred for new software and hardware purchases were capitalized
and other costs were expensed as incurred.

The total cost of this project for external costs of hardware and software,
excluding planned system replacements, was approximately

                                       11
<PAGE>

$225,000.
In summary, the Company completed the project and is confident that there are no
issues of year 2000 compliance that will materially effect the ongoing
operations of the businesses.

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
- ---------------------------------------

Westwood Corporation finished the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 with a
funded backlog of $57 million based primarily on contracts held by NMP Corp. and
MCII Electric Company.


NMP Corp. recently received an award from Avondale Industries, a Litton
Shipbuilding subsidiary, for the power and lighting panels for the LPD17-class
new amphibious assault ship. The current value of all orders received from
Avondale for this program is $2.5 million per ship with anticipated growth to
$3.5/$3.7 million per ship upon completion of engineering requirements by
Avondale. A total of twelve ships are scheduled to be built over the next 5
years. Total revenues to be recognized by Westwood Corporation over the life of
the program is estimated to be $42 million.

Late in the third quarter ending September 30, 1999, NMP Corp. was awarded
requirements contracts for the DDG51-class Aegis destroyer program from Lead
Yard Services, Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding. The total number of
ships to be built is dependent on the progress of the new DD21-class destroyer,
however, best estimates place the number at 17. Revenue value per shipset is
$2.8 million placing the total revenues over the life of the contract at
approximately $27 million.

Westwood Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, MCII Electric Company, is in the
initial production phase of the U.S. Army's contract for Tactically Quiet
Generators. There are currently 1252 units on conditional release until testing
is completed at a value of $29 million. The current requirements for this
equipment is greater than 12,000 units and therefore, the Company expects
additional production releases in the future.

The total current backlog inclusive of option requirements exercisable over the
next five years stands at $116 million.

The synergy between Westwood Corporation's two marine products subsidiaries
position in the company very well for new business imminent

                                       12
<PAGE>

in the near-term future. These opportunities include the LHD8-class amphibious
assault vessel and the LSD41/49-class upgrade. NMP Corp. and TANO Corp. were
significant equipment suppliers on the first seven ships of the LHD class and
both companies also participated on the LSD class original equipment program.
Management feels that there is significant potential for participation in these
programs as well as the last of the CVN77-class nuclear powered aircraft
carriers and the new twenty-first century destroyer DD21.
