Note A - Basis of Presentation
------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include Westwood wholly-owned subsidiaries NMP Corp., Roflan
Associates, Inc. (and its wholly-owned subsidiary Peter Gray
Corporation), Rox Corp, TANO Corp., and MCII Electric Company,
Inc. (See Note C).  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 first quarter ended June 30, 1997 may not necessarily be
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
ended March 31, 1998.  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, 1997, and Forms 8-K dated May 13, 1997 and 
May 28, 1997.

Note B - Common Stock
---------------------

The financial statements, including earnings and dividend per
share calculations, reflect the impact of 10% stock dividends
approved by the Board of Directors on November 7, 1996, as well
as the issuance of 125,000 shares in connection with the
acquisition of MCII Electric Company, Inc. on May 28, 1997.

As of June 30, 1997, stock options issued under directors and
employees plans were for 645,900 shares, and no options have 
been exercised or canceled.

Note C - Acquisitions
---------------------

On May 13, 1997, the Company purchased the assets and liabilities
of TANO Automation, Inc.'s Marine Automation Control Division
("TANO") for a total purchase price of $2,500,000.  TANO designs,
manufactures, sells and services electrical automation and
control systems for both military and commercial ships and
machinery plant automation and control systems.  The transaction
involved the payment of $2,000,000 in cash plus the signing of a
60-day noninterest bearing note of $500,000.  The transaction is
subject to certain purchase price adjustments which could
potentially reduce the final purchase price.  A $1,800,000 draw
on NMP's revolving credit facility plus $654,000 in existing

                                5
<PAGE>
cash was advanced to the Company for the purchase of TANO and for
the payment of certain of the liabilities assumed.  The
transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the purchase
price and related direct expenses associated with the acquisition
were allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of the
assets purchased and liabilities assumed.  These costs exceeded
the fair value of the net assets acquired by $1,500,000, and are
being amortized over a fifteen-year period.  The results
of operations have been included from the date of acquisition.

On May 28, 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of MCII Electric Company, Inc. ("MCII")
for $2,000,000 in cash plus 125,000 shares of the Company's
common stock.  MCII designs and manufactures mobile generator
sets for both military and commercial applications.  The
transaction involved the payment of $500,000 on May 28, 1997 
plus three noninterest-bearing annual installments of $500,000
each through May 28, 2000.  The transaction was funded by a
$2,700,000 draw on NMP's amended revolving credit facility to
purchase MCII and pay certain of the liabilities assumed.  In
accordance with purchase accounting, the purchase price and
related direct expenses associated with the acquisition were
allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of the assets
purchased and liabilities assumed.  These costs exceeded the 
fair value of the net assets acquired by $1,800,000 and are 
being amortized over a fifteen-year period.  The results of
operations have been included from the date of acquisition. 

Note D - Special Charge
-----------------------

During the first quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company
implemented plans to reorganize and relocate certain
manufacturing and engineering operations in Tulsa, as well as
relocate Roflan's manufacturing operations from Massachusetts to
Tulsa.  A special charge of $210,000 was recorded for the direct
costs relating to this relocation.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
               ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                       RESULTS OF OPERATION

                          June 30, 1997

GENERAL

Results of Operations 
---------------------

The first quarter ended June 30, 1997 saw a number of major
changes for Westwood Corporation.  The Company completed the
acquisitions of TANO and MCII, and completed a major relocation
of certain manufacturing operations.  These changes were in line
with the Company's plans to diversify and improve long-term
profitability.  The Company had been dependent upon long-term
switchgear contracts relating to major new shipbuilding programs
for the bulk of its sales revenues, and the recent acquisitions
are major steps in a redirection into potential growth areas.

The Company anticipates that the full positive effects of the
recent acquisitions, as well as cost savings from the recent
manufacturing relocations, will begin to be realized in the 
third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1998.

First Quarter Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
------------------------------------------

Consolidated sales for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30,
1997 were $6,574,000, a 15.6% reduction compared to the same
quarter last year.  Operations for the quarter lost $169,000,
compared to an operating income of $584,000 for the same period
last year.  For the quarter, the Company incurred a net loss of
$133,000, compared to earning net income of $347,000 for the 
same quarter last year.

Lower sales revenues were primarily a result of the winding down
of the major DDG-51 contract, as well as the negative impact on
production and shipments as the result of the relocation of
certain manufacturing operations.  This relocation had a
significant impact on marine hardware production in May and 
June, and the Company recorded a special charge of $210,000 for
costs associated with the relocation.  Also contributing to 
lower operating income during the quarter were lower sales
volume and increased scrap costs at the Peter Gray Corporation.

Of the two acquisitions completed during the quarter, TANO had a
positive impact on operations.  MCII had a negative impact
on operations during the quarter due to the development and

                                7
<PAGE>
production stages of its major contracts, as well as the
requirement for major contract reviews and systems improvements
throughout MCII's operations. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Operating activities for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30,
1997 resulted in net cash used of $91,000.  During this period,
cash was used in a net loss of $133,000, with other major cash
adjustments and sources being depreciation and amortization of
$184,000, reduction in accounts receivable of $1,351,000,
increases in accounts payable of $586,000, and increases in
billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of $340,000. 
Major uses of cash were increases in costs and estimated 
earnings in excess of billings of $773,000, increases in
inventories of $652,000, increases in deferred charges of
$172,000, reductions in accrued liabilities of $196,000, and
change in income taxes payable/receivable of $783,000.  Lower
sales volume was the primary factor in the above changes, except
for the changes in deferred charges and accrued liabilities.  

The acquisitions of TANO and MCII were the significant investing
activities during the quarter.  To facilitate these acquisitions,
the Company utilized available cash funds of $654.000, and
borrowed a total of $4,500,000, of which $2,500,000 was under an
amended revolving credit agreement, and $2,000,000 under a short-
term loan.  Subsequently, through June 30, 1997, the Company
borrowed an additional $200,000 under the revolving credit
agreement.

As a result of these acquisitions and related debt, the 
Company's debt to equity ratio changed from .4:1 at March 31,
1997 to 1.1:1 at June 30, 1997.  

A new banking agreement now in process of completion provides 
for a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit and a $2,500,000 
5-year term loan,  which will include the retirement of the
$635,000 term loan of the Peter Gray Company. This agreement is
expected to be finalized by the end of August.  The Company
believes that this increased borrowing capacity, along with
operating cash flows, will be adequate for future operations.
                                 
The discussions in this section contain forward looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. 
Among factors that would cause actual results to differ
materially are the following:  business conditions in the
military and commercial industries served by the Company,
conditions in the general economy; changes in customer order
patterns including timing of delivery; risk of non-payment
customer receivables; competitive factors; and other risk 
factors listed from time to time in the Company's reports with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
