                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
COMARCO, Inc.:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the COMARCO,  Inc.  Savings and  Retirement  Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related  statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995.  These  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits of the Plan's financial  statements as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and for each of the years in the three-year  period ended December 31, 1995 were
made for the  purpose of forming  an opinion on the basic  financial  statements
taken as a whole.  The  supplemental  schedules  of Assets  Held for  Investment
Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements,  but are
supplementary  information  required  by the  Department  of  Labor's  Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974.  The  supplemental  schedules  have been  subjected to the
auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the basic  financial  statements,
and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all material  respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The following  description  of the COMARCO,  Inc.  Savings and  Retirement  Plan
(Plan) provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan
agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
     full-time employees of COMARCO,  Inc. ("the Company" or "the Plan Sponsor")
     who have three months of service and are age 20 1/2 or older. It is subject
     to the provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974
     (ERISA).  A restatement  of the Plan agreement was completed on December 7,
     1994 and  incorporated  all previous  amendments.  The Plan received an IRS
     determination  letter  for  the  Plan  document  incorporating  all  TRA-86
     requirements on February 9, 1995.

     Contributions.  Employee contributions to the Plan may range from 1% to 15%
     of eligible  earnings.  In 1993, the Plan Sponsor  adopted a plan amendment
     effective  January  1,  1993  which  standardized  the  Company's  matching
     contribution to 100% of the first 3% of earnings by a participant.  Service
     Contract Act (SCA) contributions represent employer contributions of health
     and welfare benefits as required for certain Company  employees  covered by
     the SCA. The Company began making required SCA employee benefit payments in
     cash in  1994,  rather  than  as Plan  contributions.  All  forfeitures  of
     terminated  participants'  non-vested  accounts  are  used to  offset  Plan
     expenses.  In  addition,  the  Company  may,  at its  discretion,  make  an
     additional contribution each year to the Plan.

     Participant  Accounts.  Each  participant's  account is  credited  with the
     participant's  contribution and the Company's  matching  contribution  plus
     Plan earnings less Plan expenses not paid by the Company.  Allocations  are
     based on participant earnings or account balances,  as defined. The benefit
     to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from
     the participant's account.

     Loans.  Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan permits  participants to obtain
     loans from their account balances, subject to certain IRS limitations.  The
     loans are repaid over fixed time periods.

     Vesting.   Participants   are  vested  at  all  times  in  their  voluntary
     contributions   and,  in  certain   circumstances,   the  matching  Company
     contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Company contributions generally
     vest over a 7 year  graded  vesting  schedule.  Exceptions  to this  graded
     vesting are the Company  contributions  which are invested in the Company's
     Stock-100 Fund, as well as SCA  contributions,  which are immediately  100%
     vested.  (The  Stock  100 Fund is no longer an  investment  option  for the
     participants).

     Payment of Benefits.  On termination of service, a participant may elect to
     receive either a lump-sum  amount equal to the value of his or her account,
     annual installments, or monthly annuity payments. Participants with accrued
     benefits  greater than $3,500 may elect to delay  receiving  benefits until
     reaching age 65.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

     Accounting  Method - The Plan  prepares  its  financial  statements  on the
     accrual basis of accounting.

     Reclassification  - Certain  prior year amounts have been  reclassified  to
     conform to the 1995 presentation.

     Investments  - The  Plan's  investments  are  stated  at fair  value in the
     accompanying  statements of net assets  available for plan benefits  except
     for its  investment  in  investment  contracts,  which are  valued at their
     respective contract values. Fair value is determined based on quoted market
     prices.  The  difference  between  cost and fair  value of  investments  is
     recognized as a realized gain or loss at the date of disposition  using the
     first-in,  first-out  method.  Purchases and dispositions are recorded on a
     trade-date basis.

3.  Employee Stock Option Plan

The  assets  of the Plan as of  December  31,  1994 and 1993  include  shares of
Company  stock  formerly  held  in the  Company's  Employee  Stock  Option  Plan
("ESOP"), which were combined into the Savings and Retirement Plan. In 1995, the
Company  received  approval from the Internal  Revenue  Service to terminate the
ESOP, and  consequently the former ESOP shares were transferred from the Savings
and Retirement Plan back to the ESOP.

4. Investments

All amounts  contributed to the Plan have been deposited with the Funding Agent,
SBS  Trust.  Participant  contributions  to the  Plan  are  made to one of the 7
investment  options (Stable Value,  Long Term Bond, Small Cap Growth,  Large Cap
Growth, Large Cap Value,  International,  or Company Stock) as designated by the
participant.  All  investment  options  other than  COMARCO  shares are provided
through the Smith Barney TRAK  program,  and consist of fund shares.  The Stable
Value option is a blend of individual investment contracts (purchased by COMARCO
and not yet matured) and the  Consulting  Group  Capital  Markets  (CGCM) Stable
Value Fund. The average yields earned on guaranteed investment contracts for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 5.1% in each year.

The following  table presents the fair values of investments.  Investments  that
represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are separately identified.

6. Expenses of the Plan

The Plan provides  that all  reasonable  expenses for  custodial  costs and fees
incurred  for the  benefit  of the Plan are to be paid by the Plan to the extent
they are not paid by the Company.  Total Plan expenses of approximately $66,000,
$86,000 and $80,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993 respectively,  were paid by the Plan.
Plan  expenses  accrued as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are $4,000 and $22,000,
respectively.

7.Plan Distributions

Partial distributions are made to participants who withdraw from the Plan before
the  final  accounting  for the  plan  year is  completed.  Amounts  payable  to
participants who have withdrawn were estimated to be approximately  $200,000 and
$500,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

8.Income Tax Status

The Internal  Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a  determination  letter that the
Plan, as amended in 1994,  constitutes a qualified  plan under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code and that the Trust is exempt from Federal income taxes
under the provisions of Section 501(a).

9.Plan Termination

The Company intends to continue the plan indefinitely, but reserves the right at
any  time  to  terminate  it  by  the  adoption  or  execution  of   appropriate
resolutions.  Upon  termination  of the Plan, a  participant's  fund share shall
become 100% vested and shall become  payable in accordance  with the "payment of
benefits" article of the Plan.

10. Form 5500

The Form 5500 annual reports show benefits  payable to terminated and in-service
participants as a liability.  This liability  amounts to approximately  $200,000
and $500,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which includes amounts
payable to in-service employees of approximately none and $20,000, respectively.
These benefits  payable to plan  participants are disclosed as components of net
assets available for benefits for terminated and continuing  participants rather
than as a liability of the Plan in these financial statements.
