<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Compensation Committee is
composed of the independent outside directors whose names appear following this
report. Compensation for executive officers includes three elements: base salaries,
bonuses, and options to acquire Common Stock. Salaries are based on factors
such as the individual&#146;s level of responsibility and the amount of salary paid
to executives with similar responsibilities in comparable companies. Bonuses
are awarded based on a combination of the executives&#146; success in meeting
certain pre-established individual goals and the Company&#146;s performance in
meeting certain financial goals. Stock options are designed to increase the
incentive for an executive&#146;s interest in the Company&#146;s success as measured by
the market value of its stock and to align the interests of the executives with
those of the Company&#146;s shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The chief executive officer&#146;s base compensation for
2004 was established under an employment agreement executed in 2002. His bonus
was based upon the Company&#146;s financial performance in a difficult economic
environment. Further, it was determined that the total compensation of the
chief executive officer was comparable to compensation of chief executive
officers of comparable companies. The base compensation of the other executive
officers was set at the level necessary to attract and retain executives
performing the functions being performed by such executives, and their bonuses
were based upon meeting the goals referred to above.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During 2002, the company
established a Nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;)
for its Named Executive Officers (&#147;Executives&#148;). Pursuant to the Plan, the
Company will pay a bonus to Executives equal to 10% of the Executives&#146; base
annual salary, as well as an additional bonus to cover federal and state income
taxes incurred by the Executives with respect to the 10% bonus. The Executives
are required to purchase life insurance and retain ownership of the life
insurance policy once it is purchased. The Plan provides a five-year vesting
schedule in which the Executives vest in their bonus at a rate of 20% each
year. Should an Executive terminate employment prior to the fifth year of
vesting, that Executive must reimburse the Company for any unvested amounts.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During 2002, the Company
entered into Change of Control Agreements (the &#147;Agreement(s)&#148;) with the
Executives. The Agreements provide an inducement for each Executive to remain
as an employee of the Company in the event of any proposed or anticipated
change of control in the organization, including facilitating an orderly
transition, and to provide economic security for the Executive after a change
in control has occurred. In the event of an involuntary termination after a
change of control, each Executive would receive his base salary, annual bonus
at time of termination, and continued participation in health, disability and
life insurance plans for a period of three years. Each Executive would also
receive professional outplacement services up to $10,000. Each Agreement
remains in full force until the Executive terminates employment or the Company
terminates the employment of the Executive.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Degen, its Chief
Executive Officer, effective October 1, 2002, and continuing for three years
thereafter, providing (a) for a base salary of $175,000 per year, subject to
increases related to the Company&#146;s general executive pay schedule during the
term of the agreement, (b) that he will participate in any incentive plan for
which the Company determines he is eligible and (c) that if Mr. Degen becomes
unable to perform his duties because of illness or other incapacity during the
term of the agreement, his compensation and his medical, dental and life
insurance shall be continued for a period of 24 months. The agreement also
provides that if Mr. Degen </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the
Board of Directors. This Committee has adopted a charter, which is available on
its website (<i><font style="font-style:italic;">www.nortechsys.com</font></i>). All the members
of this Committee are independent as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Committee has adopted a
policy of considering director candidates recommended by shareholders. Any
shareholder desiring to submit such a recommendation should transmit the
candidate&#146;s name and qualifications in a letter addressed to:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Committee has not established specific qualifications for potential directors. The

on behalf of all of the shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a variety of methods for
identifying and evaluating nominees for directors. The Committee periodically
assesses the appropriate size of the board and whether any vacancies are
anticipated. If vacancies are anticipated or if the Committee determines that
the number of directors should be increased, the Committee considers possible
director candidates. Candidates may come to the Committee&#146;s attention through
present board members, shareholders or other persons. All candidates will be
evaluated by the Committee and the Committee&#146;s recommendations will then be
transmitted to the entire board. Assessment of candidates will include a
variety of issues, including diversity, skills and experience in the fields of
accounting, marketing, technology, international manufacturing, and
understanding of the Company&#146;s industry.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On August 31, 2004, KPMG LLP (&#147;KPMG&#148;) notified the
Company that the client-auditor relationship between the Company and KPMG
ceased as of that date. The decision to terminate the relationship was made by
KPMG; the Company&#146;s audit committee did not recommend a change in accountants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the subsequent interim period through
August 31, 2004, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction
of KPMG, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with its report.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The audit reports of KPMG on the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the Company&#146;s two fiscal years ended December
31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, and the subsequent interim period through
August 31, 2004, there were no &#147;reportable events&#148; (as that term is defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that on August 13, 2004, KPMG
advised the Company&#146;s audit committee that KPMG noted a deficiency related to
the Company&#146;s ability to forecast financial results accurately enough to
determine expected compliance with debt covenants at future quarter ends. This
deficiency was considered to be a &#147;reportable condition&#148; under the standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The
subject matter of this deficiency was discussed with the Chairman of the Audit
Committee and representatives of the Company&#146;s management on August 13, 2004,
as were the proposed remedial actions. The Company believes that it has taken
appropriate steps to remedy this deficiency by improving and expanding its
monthly forecasting process put into place in the first week of June 2004. At
the August 13, 2004 discussion with the Chairman of the Company&#146;s audit
committee and management, KPMG also stated that this deficiency did not in its
view constitute a &#147;material weakness&#148; within the meaning of the standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company requested KPMG
to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether
KPMG agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this item
and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. KPMG&#146;s letter
agreeing with the Company&#146;s statements was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K
filed by the Company on September 3, 2004.</font></p>

independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for 2005.
McGladrey was the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm
beginning in the third quarter of 2004. Members of the firm are expected to be
present at the annual meeting of shareholders and available to respond to
appropriate questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On February 23, 2005, the Board adopted, subject to
shareholder approval, the Nortech Systems 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (the
&#147;2005 Plan&#148;). The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to promote the interests of the
Company and its shareholders by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining
employees, officers and directors who are expected to contribute to its growth
and financial performance for the benefit of the shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company currently awards stock options to
employees and directors through its 2003 Stock Option Plan. As of December 31,
2004, 172,500 shares remained available for future awards under the 2003 Stock
Option Plan. The Board intends to terminate this plan without granting any
further options under the plan if the shareholders approve the 2005 Plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While in the past the Company relied on stock options
with time-based vesting as the primary form of incentive compensation, the
board of directors has moved to establish a compensation program that includes
a combination of options, stock appreciation rights (SARS) and restricted
stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board believes that the continuation of incentive
compensation is essential in attracting, retaining and motivating individuals
to enhance the likelihood of the Company&#146;s future success. In addition, a plan
that permits awards with more flexible terms will allow the Company to better
align incentive compensation with increases in shareholder value than the
current plans. The flexibility of the 2005 Plan in types and specific terms of
awards will allow future awards to be based on then-current objectives for
aligning compensation with shareholder value. Shareholder approval of the 2005
Plan will permit the Company to achieve these goals.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following is a summary
of the material terms of the 2005 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the 2005 Plan. A copy of the 2005 Plan is attached hereto as
Appendix A.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Compensation Committee
will administer the 2005 Plan and will have full power and authority to
determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount, and
other terms and conditions of each award, consistent with the provisions of the
2005 Plan. In addition, the Committee can specify whether, and under what
circumstances, awards to be received under the 2005 Plan may be deferred
automatically or at the election of either the holder of the award or the
Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2005 Plan, the Committee may amend
or waive the terms and conditions, or accelerate the time for exercise of an
outstanding award. The Committee has authority to interpret the 2005 Plan, and
establish rules and regulations for the administration of the 2005 Plan. In addition,
the Board may replace the Committee with a different committee or exercise the
powers of the Committee at any time, except with respect to the grant of awards
to executive officers.</font></p>

director or other individual, who is selected by the Committee, is eligible to
receive an award under the 2005 Plan. As of the date of this proxy statement,
approximately 800 employees, officers and directors were eligible as a class to
be selected by the Committee to receive awards under the 2005 Plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Committee may adjust the number of shares and
share limits described above in the case of a stock dividend or other
distribution, including a stock split, merger or other similar corporate
transaction or event, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the 2005 Plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If any shares of Common
Stock subject to any award or to which an award relates are forfeited or are
reacquired by the Company, or if any award terminates without the delivery of
any shares, the shares previously set aside for such awards will be available
for future awards under the 2005 Plan. In addition, shares used by award
recipients as payment of the exercise price of an award or in satisfaction of
the tax obligations relating to an award other than an incentive stock option
will be available again for award grants.</font></p>

combination with or in substitution for, any other award granted under the 2005
Plan or any other compensation plan. The exercise price per share under any
stock option and the grant price of any SAR may not be less than the fair
market value on the date of grant of such option or SAR. Determinations of fair
market value under the 2005 Plan will be made by reference to the closing price
of the Company&#146;s Common Stock on the NASDAQ. The term of awards of the
stock-based portion of the plan will not be longer than 10 years.</font></p>

grant date. The Committee also may permit acceleration of the forfeiture period
in the case of a participant&#146;s death, disability or retirement, or a change in
control of the Company. If the participant&#146;s employment or service as a

the delegation of its authority, the Committee may amend, alter or discontinue

any action that would increase the number of shares of the Company&#146;s Common
Stock available, increase the award limits under the 2005 Plan, permit awards

impact on the election of directors except to the extent the failure to vote
for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger number of

Plan, NASDAQ rules require that the Plan must receive the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares voted on the matter and that the total number of shares
voted constitutes more than 50% of all shares entitled to vote on the proposal.
In this regard, an abstention has the same effect as casting a negative vote. A
&#147;broker non-vote&#148; is considered a vote not cast and therefore &#147;broker
non-votes&#148; negatively impact the Company&#146;s ability to meet the requirement that
more than 50% of all shares be voted. A &#147;broker non-vote&#148; occurs when a broker
does not have discretionary authority to vote shares held by the broker for a
beneficial owner. <b><font style="font-weight:bold;">If your shares are held by
a broker or nominee, you should contact such holder to determine if you may

shall be exercisable during the Participant&#146;s lifetime only by the Participant
(or by the Participant&#146;s legal representatives in the event of the Participant&#146;s
incapacity). Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary to exercise any
Option or Stock Appreciation Right or receive any Award held by the Participant
at the time of the Participant&#146;s death or to be assigned any other Award
outstanding at the time of the Participant&#146;s death. If a deceased Participant
has named no Beneficiary, any Award held by the Participant at the time of
death shall be transferred as provided in his or her will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Except in the case of the holder&#146;s incapacity, only
the holder may exercise an Option or Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee
may permit the transfer of an Award by a Participant to a Participant&#146;s
children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents,
spouse, siblings, in-laws and persons related by reason of legal adoption.</p>
