                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Comtech Telecommunications Corp.:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
audited the financial statement schedule II as listed in the accompanying index.
These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended July 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedule II, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                             July 31, 2000 and 1999

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

      (a)   Principles of Consolidation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
            Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company),
            all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances
            and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      (b)   Nature of Business

      We design, develop, produce and market sophisticated components and
            systems that are used by telecommunications and defense systems and
            service providers in a broad range of applications.

      The Company's business is highly competitive and characterized by rapid
            technological change. In addition, the number of potential customers
            for the Company's products is limited. The Company's growth and
            financial position depends, among other things, on its ability to
            keep pace with such changes and developments and to respond to the
            sophisticated requirements of an increasing variety of electronic
            equipment users. Many of the Company's competitors are substantially
            larger, have significantly greater financial, marketing and
            operating resources and broader product lines than does the Company.
            A significant technological breakthrough by others, including
            smaller competitors or new companies, could have a material adverse
            effect on the Company's business. In addition, certain of the
            Company's customers have technological capabilities in the Company's
            product areas and could choose to replace the Company's products
            with their own.

      International sales expose the Company to certain risks, including
            barriers to trade, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
            (which may make the Company's products less price competitive),
            political and economic instability, availability of suitable export
            financing, export license requirements, tariff regulations, and
            other United States and foreign regulations that may apply to the
            export of the Company's products, as well as the generally greater
            difficulties of doing business abroad. The Company attempts to
            reduce the risk of doing business in foreign countries by seeking
            contracts denominated in U.S. dollars, advance payments and
            irrevocable letters of credit in its favor.

      (c)   Revenue Recognition

      Revenues on long-term, fixed price contracts are generally recorded based
            on the relationship of total costs incurred to date to total
            projected final costs or, alternatively, as deliveries are made.
            Revenue under cost reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are
            incurred.

      Revenues on other contract orders are recognized under the units of
            delivery method. Under this method, revenues are recorded as units
            are delivered with the related cost of sales recognized on each
            shipment based upon a percentage of estimated final contract costs.
            Contract costs include material, direct labor, manufacturing
            overhead and other direct costs. Retainages and estimated earnings
            in excess of amounts billed on certain multi-year programs are
            reported as unbilled receivables.

                                                                     (Continued)


                                      F-8
<PAGE>

      Revenue not associated with long-term contracts are generally recognized
            when the earnings process is complete, generally upon shipment or
            customer acceptance.

      Provision for anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts is made in the
            period in which such losses are determined.

      (d)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

      Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds with a
            maturity at acquisition of three months or less. Cash equivalents at
            July 31, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $4,779,000 and $2,258,000,
            respectively. These investments are carried at cost plus accrued
            interest, which approximates market.

      (e)   Statement of Cash Flows

      The Company acquired equipment financed by capital leases in the amounts
            of $567,000, $136,000 and $1,207,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
            respectively.

      (f)   Marketable Investment Securities

      Marketable investment securities at July 31, 2000 consists of a mutual
            fund investment classified as available-for-sale and recorded at
            fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related
            tax effect on these available-for-sale securities are excluded from
            earning and are reported as a component of accumulated other
            comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from
            the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a
            specific identification basis.

      (g)   Inventories

      Work-in-process inventory reflects all accumulated production costs, which
            are comprised of direct production costs and overhead, reduced by
            amounts attributable to units delivered. These inventories are
            reduced to their estimated net realizable value by a charge to cost
            of sales in the period such excess costs are determined.

      Raw materials and components and work-in-process inventory are stated at
            the lower of cost or market, computed on the first-in, first-out
            (FIFO) method.

      (h)   Long-Lived Assets

      The Company's plant and equipment, which are recorded at cost, are
            depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives (building
            and improvements - 40 years, equipment - three to eight years) under
            the straight-line method. Capitalized values of properties under
            leases are amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated
            life of the asset, whichever is less. Intangible assets, consisting
            of goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions,
            are being amortized over their respective lives. The Company reviews
            its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
            circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
            be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted
            and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset,
            an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying
            amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

      (i)   Other Assets

      Included in other assets at July 31, 2000 and 1999 is approximately

            $350,000 less accumulated amortization, which relates to an
            intellectual property rights agreement being amortized over the
            eight-year term of the agreement. At July 31, 2000 and 1999,
            accumulated amortization related to this purchased technology was
            approximately $277,000 and $232,000, respectively. The Company
            assesses the recoverability of the intangible asset by determining
            whether the amortization of purchased technology over its remaining
            life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash
            flows from product sales utilizing the technology.

      (j)   Research and Development Costs

      The Company charges research and development costs to operations as
            incurred, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable
            under customer-funded contracts. In fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
            Company was reimbursed by customers for such activities in the
            amount of $4,272,000, $1,779,000 and $356,000, respectively.

      (k)   Income Taxes

      Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
            Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
            tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
            statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
            their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
            carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
            using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
            the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
            recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
            liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
            period that includes the enactment date.

      (l)   Earnings Per Share

      The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the
            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128,
            "Earnings per Share". Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted
            average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the
            maximum dilution from potential common stock issuable pursuant to
            the exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive, outstanding
            during each period. All share and per share amounts have been
            restated to reflect a three-for-two stock split effective July 30,
            1999 (Note 10(f)).

      (m)   Financial Instruments

      Management of the Company believes that the book value of its monetary
            assets and liabilities approximates fair value as a result of the
            short-term nature of such assets and liabilities. Management further
            believes that the fair market value of its long-term debt and
            capital lease obligations does not differ materially from its
            carrying value.

      (n)   Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
            liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
            the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
            revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may
            differ from those estimates.

      (o)   Reclassifications

      Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1999 consolidated
            financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.

      (p)   Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

      The Company records compensation expense for employee stock options only
            if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the
            exercise price on the date of the grant. The Company has elected not
            to implement the fair value based accounting method for employee
            stock options of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
            Compensation", but has elected to disclose the pro forma net income
            per share for employee stock option grants made beginning in fiscal
            1996 as if such method had been used to account for stock-based
            compensation cost as described in SFAS No. 123.

      (q)   Reporting Comprehensive Income

      The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
            which requires companies to report all changes in equity during a
            period, except those resulting from investment by owners and
            distribution to owners, for the period in which they are recognized.
            Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other
            nonowner changes in equity (or other comprehensive income) such as
            unrealized gains/losses on securities


                                      F-10
<PAGE>

            classified as available-for-sale, foreign currency translation
            adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments.

      Comprehensive and other comprehensive income must be reported on the face
            of an annual financial statement or in the case of interim
            reporting, the footnote approach may be utilized. The Company's
            operations in fiscal 1999 and 1998 did not give rise to items
            includible in comprehensive income which were not already included
            in net income. Accordingly, the Company's comprehensive income in
            fiscal 1999 and 1998 is the same as its net income for those periods
            presented. The amount reported in other comprehensive income for the
            year ending July 31, 2000 is comprised of unrealized holding losses
            arising during the period, net of tax, of $113,000.

(2)   Acquisitions

      In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company formed two subsidiaries,
            Comtech Mobile Datacom Corp. ("CMDC") and Comtech Wireless, Inc.
            ("CWI") to acquire the assets and assume certain liabilities of two
            businesses. The purchase price of the business acquired by CMDC
            amounted to $628,000 consisting of cash of $100,000, 150,000 shares
            of restricted common stock, valued at $528,000, and warrants to
            purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
            $6.57 per share. The purchase price of the business acquired by CWI
            amounted to $350,000 consisting of $100,000 of cash and a
            non-recourse note payable of $250,000. The assets acquired were
            inventories and equipment. Both acquisitions were accounted for as
            purchases whereby the assets and liabilities of the businesses
            acquired were consolidated with those of the Company from their
            respective acquisition dates. The excess of the purchase price over
            the fair value of the net assets of the business acquired by CMDC
            approximated $1,701,000 and is being amortized over a 20-year
            period. This amount is included in intangible assets in the
            accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Effective July 31, 1999,
            the operations of the business acquired by CWI were discontinued
            (see Note 13). The pro forma effect of the acquisition of CMDC was
            not material to the results of operations for the year ended July
            31, 1999.

      In January 2000, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
            liabilities of Hill Engineering Inc. ("Hill") in exchange for 50,000
            shares of the Company's common stock. Such shares were issued and
            placed in escrow and will be released to the sellers as follows: (i)
            30,000 shares on January 21, 2001 assuming the resolution of certain
            pending claims; (ii) 10,000 shares on January 31, 2001 assuming Hill
            meets certain profit goals; and (iii) 10,000 shares on January 31,
            2002 also assuming Hill meets certain profit goals. To the extent
            that Hill does not meet cumulative profit goals by January 31, 2005,
            the 20,000 escrow shares will be returned to the Company. The
            acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price
            amounted to approximately $371,000 which principally represents the
            fair value of the initial 30,000 shares of common stock to be issued
            to Hill. The remaining 20,000 shares will be recorded at fair value
            on the date when the profit goals are met. This business operates in
            the RF Microwave Amplifiers segment. The accompanying consolidated
            financial statements reflect this acquisition at the fair value of
            the assets acquired ($652,000) and liabilities assumed ($871,000)
            and include the operations of Hill from the date of acquisition
            through July 31, 2000. The excess of the purchase price over the net
            assets acquired of approximately $606,000 is included in intangible
            assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is being
            amortized over a 15 year period. The operations of Hill are not
            material to the operations of the Company. Pro forma results of
            operations were not provided as their effect on the consolidated
            operations were not material.

      On July 10, 2000, the Company acquired the business of EF Data, the
            satellite communications division of Adaptive Broadband Corporation,
            at an estimated adjusted cost of $54,359,000. The preliminary cash
            purchase price of $61,500,000 was partially financed with $40
            million supplied through institutional secured borrowings. Direct
            acquisition costs amounted to $1,628,000. Based upon the acquisition
            agreement, an adjustment to the purchase price in the amount of
            $9,038,000 is due the Company which is included in the consolidated
            balance sheet in other receivables (this amount was received by the
            Company in September 2000).

      The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
            The cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets and the
            liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date
            of the acquisition. The excess of the cost over the fair value of
            the net assets acquired amounted to approximately $26,157,000, of
            which $10,218,000 was allocated to in-process research and
            development and was expensed as of the acquisition date, $7,508,000
            was recorded as purchased technology which is being amortized over
            seven years, $3,577,000 was recorded as other purchased intangibles
            which are being amortized over five to seven years and $4,854,000
            has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over ten
            years. The in-process research and development charge is included in
            the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year
            ended July 31, 2000. The acquisition cost was allocated as follows
            (in thousands):

                                                                       $ 54,359
                                                                       ========

      An independent third-party appraiser was used to assess and value the
            purchased in-process research and development, existing technology,
            assembled workforce, and customer base from the acquisition. The
            valuation of existing technology and in-process research and
            development was determined for products under development, based
            upon the estimated future revenues to be earned upon
            commercialization of the products. The percentage of the cash flows
            allocated to the purchased in-process research and development was
            derived from the estimated percentage complete for each of the
            projects. These cash flows were discounted back to their net present
            value. The resulting projected net cash flows from such projects
            reflects management's estimates of revenues and operating profits
            related to such projects. The workforce and customer base valuation
            was based upon replacement cost.

      The operating results of EF Data have been included in the consolidated
            statements of operations from the acquisition date (July 10, 2000)
            through July 31, 2000. The Company's unaudited pro forma results for
            fiscal years 2000 and 1999 assuming the merger occurred on August 1,
            1998 and August 1, 1999 are as follows:

                                                                 1999       2000
                                                            ---------    -------

               Weighted average shares assuming dilution       4,143       6,280

      These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative
            purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of
            operations that actually would have resulted had the merger been in
            effect August 1, 1998 and August 1, 1999, or the future results of
            operations.

      The Company provides for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.
            109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires an asset and
            liability based approach in accounting for income taxes. In
            assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities,
            management considers whether it is more likely than not that some
            portion or all of them will not be realized. During fiscal 1999, the
            Company concluded that a full valuation allowance was no longer
            necessary given its estimates of future earnings, which include
            substantial long-term contracts entered into in the first and fourth
            quarters of fiscal 1999 and the expected timing of temporary
            difference reversals. Accordingly, the Company reduced the valuation
            allowance to $777,000 during fiscal 1999 and recorded deferred tax
            assets of $4,575,000. In fiscal 2000, the Company's gross deferred
            tax asset was $8,340,000 offset by a valuation allowance of
            $2,400,000 related to the extended write off period of in-process
            research and development from the acquisition of EF Data. The
            Company must generate approximately $22,610,000 of taxable income to
            fully utilize its deferred tax assets. Management believes it is
            more likely than not that the results of future operations will
            generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax
            assets.

(10)  Stockholders' Equity

      (a)   Common Stock Offering

      In February and March 2000, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,645,000
      shares of its common stock in a public offering resulting in net proceeds
      to the Company of approximately $42.4 million.

      (b)   Option and Warrant Plans and Agreements

      The Company has several option and warrant plans and agreements as
      follows:

      1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan - The 1982 Incentive Stock Option and
            Appreciation Plan provided for the granting to key employees and
            officers of incentive stock options to purchase up to 240,000 shares
            of the Company's common stock through September 29, 1992 at prices
            not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date the
            option is granted. The plan expired on September 29, 1992. Options
            granted to purchase an aggregate of 13,050 shares remain
            outstanding. All outstanding awards have been transferred to the
            2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The terms applicable to these awards
            prior to the transfer continue to apply.

      1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan - The 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan,
            as amended, provides for the granting to key employees and officers
            of incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to
            1,042,500 shares of the Company's common stock at prices generally
            not less than the fair market value at the date of grant with the
            exception of anyone who, prior to the grant, owns more than 10% of
            the voting power, the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the
            fair market value. In addition, it provided formula grants to
            non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The term of the
            options may be no more than ten years. However, for incentive stock
            options granted to any employee who, prior to the granting of the
            option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power,
            the option term may be no more than five years. As of July 31, 2000,
            the Company had granted incentive stock options representing the
            right to purchase an aggregate of 1,086,515 shares at prices ranging
            between $1.50 - $11.94 per share, of which 106,868 options were
            canceled and 721,628 are outstanding at July 31, 2000. To date,
            258,019 shares have been exercised. Outstanding awards have been
            transferred to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The terms applicable
            to these awards prior to the transfer continue to apply. The plan
            was terminated by the Board of Directors in December 1999 due to the
            approval by the shareholders of the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

      2000 Stock Incentive Plan- The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, which was
            approved by the shareholders on December 14, 1999, provides for the
            granting to all employees and consultants of the Company (including
            prospective employees and consultants) non-qualified stock options,
            stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares,
            performance units and other stock-based awards. In addition,
            employees of the Company are eligible to be granted incentive stock
            options. Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to
            receive non-discretionary grants of nonqualified stock options
            subject to certain limitations. The aggregate number of shares of
            common stock which may be issued may not exceed 500,000 plus 882,935
            shares that were transferred to the Plan relating to outstanding
            awards that were previously granted under the 1982 Incentive Stock
            Option Plan and the 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Stock
            Option Committee of the Board of Directors, consistent with the
            terms of the Plan, will determine the types of awards to be granted,
            the terms and conditions of each award and the number


                                      F-16
<PAGE>

            of shares of common stock to be covered by each award. Grants of
            incentive and non-qualified stock options may not have a term
            exceeding ten years or no more than five years in the case of an
            incentive stock option granted to a stockholder who owns stock
            representing more than 10% of the voting power. As of July 31, 2000,
            the Company had granted incentive stock options representing the
            right to purchase an aggregate of 52,000 shares at prices ranging
            between $11.25 - $16.25 of which 3,000 options were canceled and
            49,000 are outstanding at July 31, 2000. There have been no
            exercises. All options granted have been incentive stock options at
            prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of
            grant.

      Warrant Issued Pursuant to Acquisition of CMDC - As part of the asset
            purchase agreement for the acquisition of CMDC (see Note 2), the
            Company issued warrants to the owners and creditors to purchase
            150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
            $6.57. The warrants, which contain transferability restrictions, are
            exercisable for a period of five years commencing September 24,
            1998, and shares purchased through the exercise of these warrants
            contain voting restrictions. During fiscal 2000, warrants to
            purchase 30,000 shares were exercised.

      Company's stock options:

      (d)   Stock-Based Compensation Plans

      The Company accounts for its stock option plans under APB Opinion No. 25,
            under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had
            compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with
            SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and income (loss) per
            share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

</TABLE>

      The full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under
            SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income (loss) and
            net income (loss) per share amounts presented above because
            compensation cost is reflected over the option's vesting period and
            compensation cost for options granted prior to August 1, 1995 was
            not considered.

      The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during
            2000 and 1999 was $9.14 and $3.19, respectively, on the date of
            grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the
            following weighted-average assumptions:

      2000 - expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.04%,
            expected volatility of 82.74% and an expected option life of 10
            years.

      1999 - expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.86%,
            expected volatility of 69.5% and an expected option life of 10
            years.

      1998 - expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 6%,
            expected volatility of 63.32% and an expected option life of 10
            years.

      (e)   Restricted Common Stock

      In February 1994, a total of 180,000 (after effect of three-for-two stock
            split - see Note 10(f)) restricted shares of the Company's common
            stock were granted by the Board of Directors to the principal
            officers of one of the Company's operating units, Comtech
            Communications Corp, ("CCC"), at a cost of $.10 per share. The award
            relates to services to be provided over future years and, as a
            result, the stock awards are subject to certain restrictions which
            may be removed earlier upon CCC attaining certain business plan
            milestones, as provided in the agreement, but no later than ten
            years from the date of the award. The excess of market value over
            cost of the shares awarded of $633,000 was recorded as deferred
            compensation and is being amortized to expense over a ten-year
            period subject to the aforementioned accelerated provisions, if
            appropriate, as evaluated on an annual basis. The deferred
            compensation is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity in
            the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

      In July 2000, the Company combined the operations of CCC with Comtech EF
            Data Corp. ("CEFD") and the principal officers of CCC were made
            principal officers of the combined companies. The Board of Directors
            accelerated the vesting of all of the remaining shares of this
            agreement. The remaining unamortized balance of $136,000 of deferred
            compensation was expensed in fiscal 2000.

      In October 1998, a total of 225,000 (after effect of three-for-two stock
            split - see Note 10(e) restricted shares of the Companys' common
            stock were granted by the Board of Directors to the principal
            officers and employees of the


                                      F-18
<PAGE>

            Companys' new subsidiary, Comtech Mobile Datacom Corp.("CMDC"), at a
            cost of $.10 per share. The award relates to services to be provided
            over future years and, as a result, the stock awards are subject to
            certain restrictions which may be removed earlier upon CMDC
            attaining certain business plan milestones, as provided in the
            agreement, but no later than ten years from the date of the award.
            The excess of market value over cost of the shares awarded of
            $1,041,000 was recorded as deferred compensation and is being
            amortized to expense over a ten-year period subject to the
            aforementioned accelerated provisions, if appropriate, as evaluated
            on an annual basis. The deferred compensation is reflected as a
            reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated
            balance sheet as of July 31, 2000.

      (f)   Stock Split

      On July 6, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a
            three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock
            dividend payable July 30, 1999 to stockholders of record on July 16,
            1999. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying
            consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the
            stock split.

(11)  Segment and Principal Customer Information

      Effective July 31, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131,"Disclosures
            about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Reportable
            operating segments are determined based on the Company's management
            approach. The management approach, as defined by SFAS No. 131, is
            based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes
            the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and
            assessing performance. While the Company's results of operations are
            primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating
            decision-maker also manages the enterprise in four segments:

            (I) Telecommunications Transmission, (II) RF Microwave Amplifiers,
            (III) Mobile Data Communications Services and (IV) Wireless Local
            Loop, which has been discontinued. Telecommunications Transmission
            products include modems, frequency converters, satellite VSAT
            transceivers and antennas and over-the-horizon microwave
            communications products and systems. RF Microwave Amplifier products
            include high-power amplifier products that use the microwave and
            radio frequency spectrums. Mobile Data Communications Services
            include two-way messaging links between mobile platforms or remote
            sites and user headquarters using satellite, terrestrial microwave
            or Internet links. Corporate assets consist principally of cash,
            deferred tax assets and intercompany receivables. Corporate losses
            result from such corporate expenses as legal, accounting and
            executive. Sales between segments were negligible. Eliminations
            consist of intercompany balances.

      Sales to one customer in fiscal 2000 and 1999 represented 43.1% and 27.0%,
            respectively, and sales to a different customer in fiscal 1998
            represented 12.2% of the consolidated net sales, respectively. Such
            sales were made from the Telecommunications Transmission business
            segment in 2000 and 1999, and from the RF Microwave Amplifier
            business segment in 1998. During fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998,
            approximately 8.8%, 15.6% and 19.5%, respectively, of the Company's
            net sales resulted from contracts with the United States government
            and its agencies. Export sales comprised 71.4%, 60.1% and 46.5% of
            net sales in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Export sales
            include sales to domestic companies for inclusion in products which
            will be sold to international customers.

(12)  Commitments and Contingencies

      (a)   Operating Leases

      The Company is obligated under noncancellable operating lease agreements.
            At July 31, 2000, the future minimum lease payments under operating
            leases are as follows:

                      2001                     $ 1,757,000
                      2002                       1,855,000
                      2003                       1,941,000
                      2004                       2,019,000
                      2005                       1,763,000
                      Thereafter                   599,000
                                               -----------
                                               $ 9,934,000
                                               ===========

      Lease expense charged to operations was $474,000, $301,000 and $140,000 in
            fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      (b)   United States Government Contracts

      Certain of the Company's contracts are subject to audit by applicable
            governmental agencies. Until such audits are completed, the ultimate
            profit on these contracts cannot be determined; however, it is
            management's belief that the


                                      F-20
<PAGE>

            final contract settlements will not have a material adverse effect
            on the Company's consolidated financial condition.

      (c)   Litigation

      The Company is subject to certain legal actions which arise out of the
            normal course of business. It is management's belief that the
            outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on
            the Company's consolidated financial position.

      (d)   Employment Contract

      Mr. Kornberg, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief
            Executive Officer and President is employed pursuant to an agreement
            which was amended and restated in January 1998 which provides, among
            other things, for his employment until 2003 at a current basic
            compensation of $295,000 per annum plus such additional amounts, if
            any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

(13)  Discontinued Operations

      Based upon CWI's disappointing fiscal 1999 results of operations and its
            uncertain future prospects, in September 1999, the Board of
            Directors approved a plan to liquidate CWI by January 31, 2000.
            Costs and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows
            associated with CWI have been excluded from the respective captions
            in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of
            operations and statements of cash flows. Components of amounts
            included in the net liabilities of discontinued operations in the
            accompanying consolidated balance sheets for fiscal 1999 are as

                                                                 July 31, 1999

                                                                 $    (137,000)
                                                                 =============

      During fiscal 2000, the Company liquidated the operations of CWI and
            recorded a loss of $137,000 net of applicable income taxes.

(14)  Stockholder Rights Plan

      On December 15, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
            adoption of a stockholder rights plan in which one stock purchase
            right ("Right") was distributed as a dividend on each outstanding
            share of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record at the
            close of business on January 4, 1999. Under the plan, the Rights
            will be exercisable only if triggered by a person or group's
            acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's common stock. If
            triggered, each Right, other than Rights held by the acquiring
            person or group, would entitle its holder to purchase a specified
            number of the Company's common shares for 50% of their market value
            at that time. Unless a 15% acquisition has occurred, the Rights may
            be redeemed by the Company at any time prior to the termination date
            of the plan.

            This Right to purchase common stock at a discount will not be
            triggered by a person's or group's acquisition of 15% or more of the
            common stock pursuant to a tender or exchange offer which is for all
            outstanding shares at a price and on terms that Comtech's Board of
            Directors determines (prior to acquisition) to be adequate and in
            the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Rights
            will expire on December 15, 2008.
