           Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

                               (Unaudited)

     1. In  the  opinion  of  Management, the  accompanying  unaudited
        consolidated  condensed  financial  statements   contain   all
        adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring items,  necessary
        to   present   fairly  the  financial  position,  results   of
        operations and cash flows for the periods shown.   It  is  the
        Company's  policy to end its first three quarterly  accounting
        periods  on  the  last Friday of each quarter, which  includes
        thirteen  weeks  of operations.  The fourth  quarter  ends  on
        March 31.  The financial data included herein was compiled  in
        accordance  with the same accounting policies applied  to  the
        Company's audited annual financial statements, which should be
        read in conjunction with these statements.

        The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended July 2,
        1999,  are  not  necessarily indicative of the results  to  be
        expected for the full year.

3. On  March 26, 1999, the Company completed the purchase of  the
   business  operations  and substantially  all  of  the  related
   assets  and liabilities of Amherst Systems, Inc. (Amherst),  a
   privately-held company.  Accordingly, the acquired  operations
   are  included  in  the  Company's operating  results  for  the
   thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1999.

   For  the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998, the following  is
   an  unaudited  pro  forma results of operations  assuming  the
   Amherst acquisition had occurred at April 1, 1998.  These  pro
   forma  results  are not necessarily indicative of  the  actual
   results   of  operations  that  may  have  occurred   if   the
   combination  had been in effect for the thirteen  weeks  ended
   June 26, 1998.

     </TABLE>

5. During  the thirteen  weeks ended July 2, 1999, 37,446  common
   shares  of the Company's stock were purchased and placed  into
   Treasury  stock.   These shares were acquired  pursuant  to  a
   stock  repurchase  plan  approved by the  Company's  Board  of
   Directors.  There  were  no  common  shares  issued  from  the
   Company's  treasury  shares.  The  total  number  of  treasury
   shares as of July 2, 1999 was 467,590.

6. During  the  thirteen weeks ended July 2,  1999,  the  Company
   granted  111,000  options  under its Equity  Incentive  Plans.
   Accordingly,  options for 616,711 shares  were  available  for
   future grants.

   As discussed in Note 5 of the Company's Consolidated Financial
   Statements  as of and for the year ended March  31,  1999,  no
   shares  were  available at March 31, 1999  for  future  grants
   under the Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan.  On August
   17,  1998,  the  Board of Directors amended  the  Non-Employee
   Director  Stock Option Plan to increase the number  of  shares
   available for grant to 300,000 from 100,000 shares.  Based  on
   this increase, which is subject to approval by shareholders at
   the  1999  Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at  July  2,  1999,
   there  were  179,000 shares available for future grants  under
   this  Plan.  No options were granted during the thirteen weeks
   ended  July  2,  1999, under the Non-Employee  Director  Stock
   Option Plan.

7. On   April  16,  1999,  the  Board  of  Directors  adopted   a
   shareholders rights plan.  The Board of Directors at that time
   declared  a  dividend  of  one preferred-share-purchase-right,
   generally  referred to as a "right," on each share  of  common
   stock.  The rights dividend was issued to each shareholder  of
   record as of April 30, 1999.

   Each  right  entitles shareholders to buy one-hundredth  of  a
   share  of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at  an
   initial exercise price of $45.  The rights will be exercisable
   if  a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20%  or
   more  of  the common stock.  In addition, the rights  will  be
   exercisable  if  an  "adverse person," as  determined  by  the
   directors, acquires beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the
   Company's outstanding common stock.

   Until  a  triggering event, the rights attach  to,  and  trade
   with,  the shares of the Company's common stock.  No  separate
   rights  certificate will be issued until and event  triggering
   the exercise of the rights occurs.

   If  any person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more  of
   the Company's common stock - except through an offer which the
   Board of Directors determines to be fair - and the Board  does
   not  redeem  the  rights within 10 days, or a  10%  holder  is
   determined  by  the directors to be an "adverse person,"  then
   each right not owned by such "adverse person" will then enable
   its  holder to purchase, at the right's then-current  exercise
   price,  common  stock of the other entity having  a  value  of
   twice the rights exercise price.

   Under certain circumstances, if the Companys is acquired in  a
   merger  or similar transaction with another person,  or  sells
   more  than  50% of its assets, earning power or cash  flow  to
   another  entity,  each  right that  has  not  previously  been
   exercised will entitle its holder to purchase, at the  right's
   then-current exercise price, common stock of such other entity
   having a value of twice the right's exercise price.

   The  rights will expire on April 29, 2009, unless redeemed  by
   the Company at an earlier date.  The Company will generally be
   entitled  to  redeem the rights at one cent per right  at  any
   time until 10 days following a public announcement that a  20%
   position has been acquired.  The time limit may be extended by
   the directors.

             Independent Accountants' Review Report



The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Comptek Research, Inc.:


We  have  reviewed  the consolidated condensed balance  sheet  of
Comptek  Research, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 2, 1999,  and
the  related consolidated condensed statements of income, changes
in  shareholders'  equity, and cash flows for the  thirteen  week
periods ended July 2, 1999 and June 26, 1998.  These consolidated
condensed  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of  the
Company's management.

We  conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by  the  American Institute of Certified Public  Accountants.   A
review  of interim financial information consists principally  of
applying  analytical  procedures to financial  data,  and  making
inquiries  of  persons responsible for financial  and  accounting
matters.   It  is substantially less in scope than  an  audit  in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,   the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding  the
financial  statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we  do  not
express such an opinion.

Based   on   our  review,  we  are  not  aware  of  any  material
modifications  that should be made to the consolidated  condensed
financial  statements  referred  to  above  for  them  to  be  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing  standards, the consolidated balance  sheet  of  Comptek
Research,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31,  1999,  and  the
related  consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity,
and  cash  flows  for each of the years in the three-year  period
then  ended (not presented herein); and in our report  dated  May
14,   1999,  we  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion   on   those
consolidated   financial  statements.   In   our   opinion,   the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated  condensed
balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, is fairly presented,  in  all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance  sheet
from which it has been derived.

              Management's Discussion and Analysis
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Comptek  designs and develops specialized systems,  software  and
proprietary products intended for the global military electronics
market.    These   defense-related  systems  provide   management
information  and implement offensive and defensive  responses  in
combat  situations.   Additionally,  we  are  a  supplier  of  EW
simulation/stimulation, training and software validation  systems
related to electronic surveillance.  We also develop systems  and
provide  engineering and technical services for  the  maintenance
and upgrade of EW and Command, Control, Communications, Computers
and Intelligence systems for several U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy
platforms.

Comptek    operates    in    three    business    segments:    EW
Simulation/Stimulation  and  Training  Systems  (Simulation   and
Training),  Tactical  Systems,  and  Engineering  and   Technical
Services (Services).

In  March  1999  we  completed the acquisition  of  the  business
operations,  assets and related liabilities of  Amherst  Systems,
Inc.  ("Amherst"). Amherst's annualized net sales, prior  to  the
acquisition were approximately $45 million, with the majority  of
such  sales attributable to domestic activities under fixed price
contracts.   This acquired business operates under our Simulation
and  Training business segment and has substantially affected the
Company's  financial  condition  and  operating  activities,   as
discussed  in  greater  detail below.  The  pro  forma  financial
information pertaining to the Amherst acquisition is presented in
note 3 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

The  Company's  contract  backlog at  July  2,  1999  was  $173.4
million.   Since March 31, 1999, backlog decreased by 7.9%  as  a
result  of work performed under these contracts and was  adjusted
downward  by  an additional 1.4% based upon a revised compilation
of Amherst's backlog at March 31, 1999.

Results of Operations

Net Sales.  Net sales increased to $38.1 million in the thirteen
weeks ended July 2, 1999, from $20.3 million in the thirteen
weeks ended June 26, 1998, representing an increase of 88.0%.

The Simulation and Training segment's net sales were $18.3
million for the first quarter ended July 2, 1999, compared with
$4.7 million for the first quarter ended June 26, 1998.  This
increase of 291.2% is primarily the result of the acquisition of
Amherst in March 1999, which recorded approximately $14.6 million
in net sales in the current quarter.

The Tactical Systems segment net sales increased to $10.6 million
for the first quarter ended July 2, 1999 from $6.5 million for
the first quarter ended June 26, 1998.  The increase of 62.6% is
the result of increased sales of products in the current year as
compared with last year.  Additionally, the Company purchased PRB
Associates, Inc. ("PRB") last year effective May 1, 1998, and as
a result only two months of PRB operations are reported for the
first quarter ended June 26, 1998.

The Services segment reported net sales for the first quarter
ended July 2, 1999, of $9.2 million consistent with that in the
prior year of  $9.1 million.

Gross Margin.  Gross margin increased to $8.3 million in the
thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1999 from $4.9 million in the
thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998, representing an increase of
67.9%.  Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased to 21.7% for
the current year's first quarter compared with 24.3% in the prior
year.

<PAGE 11>

The increase in gross margin dollars, as well as the decrease in
the gross margin as a percent of sales, is primarily the result
of business in the Simulation and Training segment.  The acquired
operations of Amherst contributed an additional $3.0 million in
gross margin dollars, offset by a loss of approximately $330,000
in an existing simulation and training fixed priced contract.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses.  SG&A
increased to $5.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 2,
1999, from $2.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 26,
1998, representing an increase of 71.9%.    SG&A as a percentage
of sales, however, decreased to 13.1% for the current quarter
compared with 14.3% in the prior year.  An increase in the SG&A
dollars is associated with the acquisition of Amherst.  The
decrease in the SG&A as a percentage of sales is primarily the
result of timing associated with marketing and bidding activity
for all business segments.

Research and Development(R&D) Expense.  R&D expense increased to
$768,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1999 from $647,000
in the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998, representing an
increase of 18.7%  R&D efforts are primarily concentrated in the
Simulation and Training  and Tactical Systems segments to enhance
and maintain current products.  This increase is the result of
the acquired operations of Amherst and ongoing development
activity with the Company's products in the two segments
mentioned above.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased to $930,000 in the
thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1999, from $248,000 in the thirteen
weeks ended June 26, 1998, representing an increase of 275.0%.
This increase is associated primarily with the financing costs
relating to the Amherst acquisition.  Additionally, the financing
of the increase in working capital for the quarter resulted in
the Company incurring additional interest expense.  The increase
in interest expense was partially offset by interest income of
approximately $165,000 associated with a state tax refund
approved during the first quarter.

Income Taxes.  Income taxes increased to $538,000 in the thirteen
weeks ended July 2, 1999 from $437,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended June 26, 1998, representing an increase of 23.1%.  The
Company recorded an effective tax rate of 34% for the current
year first quarter compared with 40% in the prior year.  During
the first quarter the Company received final approval on a prior
year state tax refund which had been pending.  The net refund
recorded as part of the provision for income taxes was
approximately $90,000.  We expect the effective tax rate for the
balance of the current fiscal year to be approximately 40%.

Net Income.  Net income increased to $1.0 million, or $0.18 per
diluted share, in the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1999, from
$683,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the thirteen weeks ended
June 26, 1998, representing an increase of 51.5%.  As a
percentage of sales, net income decreased from 3.4% to 2.7% for
the comparable quarters.  Although sales increased significantly
as a result of the Amherst acquisition, the corresponding
increase in net income was adversely affected by the decrease in
gross margin percentage and increase in net interest expense.
These impacts were partially offset by approximately $250,000 in
non-recurring income related to the state tax refund.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities for the thirteen weeks
ended July 2, 1999, was $7.2 million compared with cash provided
by operating activities of $210,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
June 26, 1998.  Working capital on July 2, 1999, was $20.1
million compared with $13.7 million in the prior year and $ 12.0
million on March 31, 1999.   The increase is primarily the result
of increases in receivables of $7.3 million from March 31, 1999,
plus the reduction in customers advances of approximately $1.0
million.  The Company experienced a delay in the ability to bill
certain receivables during the quarter as a result of certain
schedule delays on fixed-price contracts.  We anticipate that
these billings will take place during the second quarter with
cash receipts expected during the third quarter.   Increases in
depreciation and amortization for the period when compared with
the prior year are primarily the result of the acquired

<PAGE 12>

operations of Amherst and the associated intangible asset
amortization.   The Company also purchased capital equipment
totaling $686,000 and invested $320,000 on software development.

Operating and investing activities were funded by the Company's
existing credit facility.   The Company has a current available
capacity of $27 million.

We are reviewing the Company's current requirements for working
capital, capital expenditure demands, stock repurchases and
repayment of long-term debt with a view towards ensuring that
cash flows from operations and the available borrowing capacity
are sufficient to cover these requirements through the balance of
the fiscal year.  We anticipate that some modifications to the
current revolving credit facility, due to increases in working
capital and letter of credit requirements, will be required.

Year 2000 Update

Comptek's assessment of Year 2000 issues is presented in the
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

As discussed in our Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999, we have completed our assessment of our internal
systems for the potential impact of the "Year 2000 Problem" and
have initiated appropriate remedial actions which were
substantially completed in fiscal 1999.  The upgrade and testing
of our payroll systems was completed by July 31, 1999.

In addition to the testing of our primary information management
systems, we have tested, and corrected as necessary, all of the
personal computers currently in use.  For the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999, we budgeted $100,000 for Year 2000 compliance
upgrades and spend less than $80,000.  For contingency purposes,
we budgeted an additional $100,000 for capital expenditures on
such items in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 1999.  During
the first quarter, we spent approximately $29,000 for upgrades.

While we continue to evaluate the compliance activities of our
vendors and suppliers, we are satisfied with the responses
received to date and do not anticipate any material adverse
impact on our financial condition as it relates to vendors' and
suppliers' Year 2000 compliance.  We will, to the extent
feasible, be testing such products for compliance, but can offer
no assurances that our vendors and suppliers will in fact by Year
2000 compliant.

While we do not currently anticipate a material adverse impact on
our financial condition or results of operations, we can offer no
assurances that the Year 2000 Problem will not adversely impact
Comptek.  Accordingly, we expect on an on-going basis to continue
to evaluate the Year 2000 Problem and its potential impact on
Comptek and our industry group.

Forward Looking Statements

This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-
looking statements about the Company's current expectations based
on current business conditions.  Forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially.  These risks and uncertainties
include the Company's dependence on continued funding of U.S.
Department of Defense programs.  Some additional risks and
uncertainties, among others, that also need to be considered are:
the likelihood that actual future revenues that are realized may
differ from those inferred from existing total backlog; the
ability to transition and integrate Amherst; the ability to
expand sales in international markets; and the ability to
complete future acquisitions without adversely affecting the
Company's financial condition.  Other risks and uncertainties are
described in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1999.
