program within parameters established by the Company. The Registrant classifies
its debt and marketable equity securities as available-for-sale securities that
are principally being held for an unspecified period of time, as such, the
Registrant may consider selling them to meet liquidity needs or as part of the
Registrant's risk management program.

        Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Dividend and
interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are
included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method
for determining the cost of securities sold. Unrealized gains and losses are
excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity until realized.

(7)     Income Taxes

        For the nine months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, the provision for
income taxes was $15,000 and $12,000, respectively.

        The provision for income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements of operations consisted entirely of estimated state and
local income tax.

        The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets at July 31, 1995 are presented below. There
are no temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities.

Deferred tax asset:

Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable                     $        47,000
Inventories, principally due to additional costs inventoried
 for tax purposes pursuant to the Tax Reform act of 1986                452,000
Plant and equipment, principally due to capitalized interest
 and differences in depreciation                                        186,000
Compensated absences, principally due to accrual for financial
 reporting purposes                                                     195,000
Deferred compensation                                                    94,000
Net operating loss carryforwards                                      4,294,000
Investment tax credit carryforwards                                     440,000
Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards                             87,000
       Total gross deferred tax assets                                5,795,000
       Less valuation allowance                                      (5,795,000)
                                                                --------------- 

       Net deferred tax assets                                  $             -
                                                                --------------- 

        The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of July 31, 1995 was
$5,795,000. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
        The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable
income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully
realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable
income of approximately $16,500,000. Taxable loss for the nine months ended
April 30, 1996 was approximately $30,000. Based upon the level of historical
taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which
the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely
than not the Company will not realize the benefits of these deferred tax assets
and has fully reserved the deferred asset.

(8)     Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares (if dilutive) outstanding during each year.

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      -----------------------------------

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30,
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 AND APRIL 30, 1995
- -----------------------

Net Sales. Net sales were $5,263,000 and $4,494,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing an increase of $769,000, or
17.1%. This was due primarily to a higher level of sales at Comtech
Communications Corp., and Comtech Microwave Products Corp., partially offset by
lower sales at Comtech Systems, Inc.

Gross Margin. Gross profit was $1,593,000 or 30.3% of net sales for the three
months ended April 30, 1996 compared to $949,000 or 21.1% for the same period in
fiscal 1995. This increase was due primarily to the higher level of sales and to
a lesser extent the gain on the settlement of a claim arising from an earlier
acquisition.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $1,287,000 or 24.5% of net sales for the three month period ended
April 30, 1996 and $1,233,000 or 27.4% for the same period in fiscal 1995. This
decrease, as a percentage of net sales, was primarily due to the higher level of
sales with only a modest overall increase in expenses.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $164,000 and
$312,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing a decrease of $148,000, or 47.4%. This decrease was due primarily
to the decrease in these expenses at Comtech Communications Corp. as they moved
from their developmental stage to the production and shipments of their
products.
  
Results from Operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had a
net operating profit of $142,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996
compared to a net operating loss of $596,000 for the comparable prior year
period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $76,000 and $94,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Interest expense for both periods
was attributable largely to interest associated with the Company's capital lease
obligations.

Interest Income. Interest income was $18,000 and $48,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to
the decrease in the amount of cash available to invest in the fiscal 1996
period.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $5,000 and $4,000
for the three months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, which
principally relates to state income taxes. The Company files on a consolidated
basis for federal income tax purposes and is not expected to incur federal taxes
for these periods due to losses incurred in earlier periods. The Company
believes its tax benefits are subject to a 100% valuation allowance due to
earnings fluctuations inherent in the Company's operations and the potential
limitations on utilization of loss and credit carryforwards pursuant to Sections
382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AND APRIL 30, 1995
- ------------------

Net Sales. Net sales were $14,466,000 and $11,535,000 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing a $2,931,000, or 25.4%
increase. The increase in sales was due primarily to a higher level of sales at
Comtech Communications Corp.

Gross Margin. Gross profit was $4,341,000 or 30% of net sales and $2,880,000 or
25% of net sales for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, representing a period-to-period increase of $1,461,000 or 50.7%.
The increase in gross margins due primarily to higher sales and improved gross
profits at Comtech Communications Corp. and to a lesser extent the gain on the
settlement of a claim arising from an earlier acquisition.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $3,654,000 or 25.3% of net sales for the nine months ended April
30, 1996 and $3,540,000 or 30.7% of net sales for the same period in fiscal
1995. The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, was due primarily to the
higher level of sales with only a modest overall increase in expenses.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $556,000 and
$762,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing a decrease of $206,000 or 27%. This decrease was due primarily to
the decrease in these expenses at Comtech Communications Corp. as they moved
from their developmental stage to the production and shipments of their
products.

Results from Operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had
an operating profit of $131,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1996
compared to an operating loss of $1,422,000 for the comparable prior year
period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $233,000 and $248,000 for the nine month
period ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Interest expense for both
periods was mainly attributable to interest associated with the Company's
capital lease obligations.

Interest Income. Interest income was $55,000 and $144,000 for the nine months
ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to
the decrease in the amount of cash available to invest in the fiscal 1996
period.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $15,000 and
$12,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, which
principally relates to state income taxes. The Company files on a consolidated
basis for federal income tax purposes and is not expected to incur federal taxes
for these periods due to the losses incurred. The Company believes its tax
benefits are subject to a 100% valuation allowance due to earnings fluctuations
inherent in the Company's operations and the potential limitations on
utilization of loss and credit carryforwards pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

As of April 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents position decreased
by $761,000 from $2,044,000 at July 31, 1995 to $1,283,000 at April 30, 1996.

In April 1996, Company was involved in the settlement of a claim in connection
with a note payable arising from an earlier acquisition. The $250,000 note was
settled for a cash payment of $85,000. Of the $165,000 gain, $149,000 has been
included in cost of sales and $16,000 has been included in selling, general and
administrative expenses.

Operating activities used $282,000 as a result of a net loss as adjusted for
depreciation and other non-cash charges, an increase in inventories and other
assets, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses
and other current assets and an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses and other current liabilities.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
Accounts receivable were $4,329,000 at April 30, 1996 as compared to $4,490,000
at July 31, 1995 net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $58,000 at April
30, 1996 and $137,000 at July 31, 1995. Of these amounts, $4,206,000 and
$3,570,000 represented net amounts due from customers for products and services
rendered as of April 30, 1996 and July 31, 1995, respectively, and the balances
of $123,000 and $920,000, respectively, represented unbilled amounts for sales
recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis as of such dates. The portion of
accounts receivable represented by unbilled accounts receivable will vary at any
time as a function of the volume of contracts being performed by the Company
that are accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis. The Company believes
that its allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient based on past experience
and the Company's credit standards. The Company generally requires international
customers to secure their obligations by letter of credit.

Inventory levels of materials and components and work-in-process, net of
progress payments and reserves were $6,916,000 and $5,011,000 at April 30, 1996
and July 31, 1995, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the
additional inventory required to address the increased backlog at April 30, 1996
which was $12,120,000 as compared to $10,242,000 at July 31, 1995. The Company
generally operates on a job-order cost basis, that is, costs are incurred as
work-in-process inventory for specific contracts or "jobs" and, accordingly,
inventory levels will vary as a function of the status of the Company's order
backlog. The Company does have some product lines which require a more
competitive response to customers requirements and require the Company to
provide for a level of "off-the-shelf" equipment. The only other general
inventory that the Company maintains is for basic components which are common
for most of its products.
 
Accounts payable increased by $381,000, primarily as a result of the increased
purchases needed for the higher inventory level.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased by $431,000 as a result
of increased advances and deposits received from customers, additional accrued
wages and benefits, increased commissions and other expenses.

Investing activities provided $93,000 of cash principally as the result of the
purchase of equipment less the amount provided from the sale of marketable
securities.

Financing activities used $386,000 of cash for principal payments of long term
debt.

The Company has a $4.5 million credit facility which expires on January 31,
1997. The facility is to finance working capital requirements and is available
for direct borrowing and standby letters of credit. Direct borrowings under the
line will bear interest at 1% over the prime rate and are to be secured at the
time of borrowing with collateral satisfactory to the financial institution.
There were minimal borrowings under the Company's credit facility for a one week
period during the nine months ended April 30, 1996. At April 30, 1996, the
Company had letters of credit outstanding, secured by short-term certificates of
deposit in the amount of $228,000, representing the amount of restricted cash.

The Company believes that its current cash position, funds generated from
operations and funds available from its current credit facility, collectively,
are adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable cash requirements.

The Company's cash investments consist of highly liquid interest bearing
commercial debt obligations and U.S. Treasury obligations.
