                          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 consolidated financial statement schedule as listed in the
accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended July 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the
related consolidated financial statement schedule, 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.
