INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Saxonburg, Pennsylvania

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
of II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1997 and the related consolidated statements of earnings for
the three-month and six-month periods then ended and the
related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-
month period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. The interim
financial statements as of December 31, 1996, and for the
three-month and six-month periods then ended, were reviewed
by other accountants whose report dated January 20, 1997
stated that they were not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to those statements in
order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

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 of making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted 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 such consolidated
financial statements 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 II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated August 12,
1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
-------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------

Results of Operations

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 1998, ended
December 31, 1997, were $1,784,000 ($0.27 per share -
diluted) on revenues of $15,058,000. This compares to net
earnings of $1,715,000 ($0.25 per share - diluted) on
revenues of $12,190,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
1997. For the six months ended December 31, 1997, net
earnings were $3,896,000 ($0.58 per share - diluted) on
revenues of $30,577,000. This compares with net earnings of
$3,375,000 ($0.50 per share - diluted) on revenues of
$24,300,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The
increased earnings were driven by increased revenue volume.

Order bookings for the second quarter were $16,825,000
compared to $13,894,000 for the same period last fiscal
Year, a 21% increase. Year-to-date order bookings grew by
23% to $32,875,000 from $26,821,000 last fiscal year.
Commercial orders for infrared optics and materials
accounted for approximately 80% of the quarter and year-to-
date increases.

Manufacturing revenues for the second quarter were
$14,381,000 compared to $11,515,000 for the same period last
fiscal year, a 25% increase. Year-to-date manufacturing
revenues grew by 27% to $29,261,000 from $23,107,000 last
fiscal year. These increases are the result of increased
shipments in all of the markets served by the Company.

Manufacturing gross margin for the second quarter was
$6,582,000 or 46% of revenues compared to $5,251,000 or 46%
of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
Manufacturing gross margin year-to-date was $13,158,000 or
45% of revenues compared to $10,495,000 or 45% of revenues
in fiscal 1997.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the second
quarter were $3,652,000 or 24% of revenues compared to
$2,951,000 or 24% of revenues for last fiscal year's second
quarter. Selling, General and Administrative expenses
year-to-date were $7,102,000 or 23% of revenues compared to
$5,981,000 or 25% of revenues in fiscal 1997. The increase
in expenses is attributable to higher general and
administrative expenses needed to support the Company's
growth and higher compensation expense associated with the
Company's world-wide profit-driven bonus programs.

Other expense for the second quarter was $200,000 compared
to other income of $168,000 for last fiscal year's second
quarter. Other expense year-to-date was $183,000 compared
to other income of $293,000 in fiscal 1997. The quarter and
year-to-date fluctuations are due to foreign currency
translation losses as a result of the decline of the
Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar and lower
interest income resulting from lower cash balances. The
lower cash balance was primarily due to increased capital
spending.

The Company's year-to-date effective tax rate was 30% of
pre-tax earnings which was slightly higher than the 29%
effective rate for fiscal 1997. This increase is due to
a higher percentage of earnings generated from U.S.
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash decreased during the first six months of fiscal 1998 by
$8,181,000 primarily due to $10,917,000 in capital
expenditures and payment of compensation costs relating to
the Company's fiscal 1997 world-wide profit-driven bonus and
retirement programs, partially offset by proceeds from a
long-term loan.

The capital expenditures focused on increasing capacity and
included the construction costs incurred for a new 45,000
square foot manufacturing facility at the Company's VLOC
subsidiary in Florida and a new 30,000 square foot
manufacturing facility for the Company's eV PRODUCTS
division in Pennsylvania.

The Company generated $1,034,000 in cash from operations for
the first six months of fiscal 1998. The $6,049,000 in cash
generated from net earnings before depreciation and
amortization year-to-date was offset by the payment of
compensation costs relating to the Company's fiscal 1997
world-wide profit-driven bonus and retirement programs and
increases in accounts receivable and inventories needed to
support the growth in sales volume.

10


Historically, the Company has funded growth from cash flow
from operations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings. In the
first six months of fiscal 1998, in addition to cash
generated from operations, the Company executed a $1,980,000
loan from PNC and entered into a $10.0 million unsecured
line of credit. The December 31, 1997 cash balance, in
addition to these external sources of funding, will be used
for working capital needs, further capital expenditures,
scheduled debt payments and other general corporate business
purposes. Capital expenditures for the second half of fiscal
1998 are estimated to be $11.6 million with continued focus
on expanding capacity and process automation.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward
looking statements as defined by Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the
statements regarding the Company's ability to fund future
working capital needs, capital expenditures and scheduled
debt payments from internally generated funds
and existing cash reserves. The Company's ability to fund
future capital needs from internally generated funds and
existing cash reserves could differ from
these statements if world-wide economic conditions change,
competitive conditions intensify, technology problems
emerge, and/or if suitable acquisitions of technologies or
businesses cannot be consummated.

There are certain risk factors that could affect the
Company's business, results of operations or financial
condition. Investors are encouraged to review the
risk factors set forth in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K filed
on September 29, 1997.
