ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Comarco,  Inc. (the "Company")  sold portions of its information  technology and
staffing business segments pursuant to two separate Asset Purchase Agreements to
Science Applications  International Corporation of San Diego, California and EWA
Services, Inc. of Herndon, VA (the "Buyers"); the agreements dated as of July 7,
2000 and July 10, 2000, respectively.

Pursuant  to  the  above   referenced   agreements,   the  Company   transferred
substantially  all  of  the  assets  of its  information  technology  government
services business, for a combined purchase price of approximately $10.9 million.
The purchase  price is subject to a  post-closing  adjustment  to be made within
sixty days of closing.  This adjustment will be based on any differences between
the closing  purchase  price and the final purchase price which will be prepared
for the Buyers'  review  within sixty days of closing,  as well as  post-closing
collections  of certain  accounts  receivables.  The closing  purchase price was
negotiated by the Company and the Buyers.  The Buyers assumed  certain  incurred
liabilities of the information  technology  government  services business in the
ordinary  course of business and certain  liabilities  arising under the assumed
contracts.

At closing,  the Company  received  approximately  $5.3 million in cash which is
being used to fund current  operating  activities  including  payment of certain
liabilities  not assumed by the Buyers;  approximately  $1.3  million is due six
months after closing,  including interest; and approximately $4.3 million is due
as certain accounts  receivables are collected which is expected to occur within
ninety  days  of  closing.  The  aforementioned   amounts  are  subject  to  any
adjustments  from the  preparation  of the final  purchase  price  statements as
previously discussed.

A final transaction for the Company's airport services business is signed and is
expected to close in the Company's third quarter.

The foregoing  description of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and
is  qualified  in its  entirety by the terms and  conditions  of the  Agreements
executed  by the  Company  and the  Buyers,  copies of which  have been filed as
exhibits hereto.
