        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE

To The Board of Directors
Microlog Corporation



Our audits of the consolidated  financial  statements  referred to in our report
dated  December  18,  1997  appearing  on  page of the  1997  Annual  Report  to
Shareholders of Microlog  Corporation  (which report and consolidated  financial
statements  are  incorporated  by reference in this Annual  Report on Form 10-K)
also included an audit of the Financial  Statement Schedule listed in Item 14(a)
of this Form 10-K. In our opinion,  the Financial  Statement  Schedule  presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.
