EXHIBIT 23.1
CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors
Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc.:
We consent to the reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" and to
the incorporation by reference into Amendment No. 2 to Form S-3 filed by Pacific
Aerospace & Electronics, Inc. of our report dated July 28, 2000, relating to the
consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc. and
subsidiaries (Company) as of May 31, 1999 and 2000 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
years in the three year period ended May 31, 2000, which report appears in the
May 31, 2000 annual report on Form 10-K/A of Pacific Aerospace & Electronics,
Inc.
Our report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
that uncertainty.
