PART III — NARRATIVE

As previously disclosed by Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (the “Company”) in its Form 10-Q (as filed on December 4, 2006) for the period ended October 31, 2006, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, advised the Company that it believes that one of its staff accountants who worked on the engagement to audit the financial statements of the Company has made an investment in the Company’s common stock and that this matter raised a question as to whether KPMG’s independence had been impaired. KPMG is currently in the process of assessing whether there has been an impairment of its independence.

As soon as practicable after a determination that KPMG has met its professional independence requirements and completed its review of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company intends to file an amended Form 10-Q, in accordance with Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
