INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries:


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and
nine-month periods then ended and the related consolidated
statement of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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.

Note D - Credit Facilities

In September 1997, the Company secured a $1,980,000 loan from
a bank. The terms of the loan call for the entire principal
amount to be paid on September 25, 2002. Interest payments are

the Japanese Yen Base Rate, as defined, plus 1.49% and the
maximum rate is 3.74%. The interest rate in effect as of
March 31, 1998 was 2.15%. As of March 31, 1998, $1,980,000
was outstanding on this loan.

On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a $10.0 million
unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank which will expire
December 30, 1998. Borrowings under the line of credit will bear
interest at a rate equal to the Euro-Rate, as defined, plus 0.75%.
The average interest rate in effect as of March 31, 1998 was 6.39%.
As of March 31, 1998, $4.5 million was outstanding on this line of
credit.

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


Results of Operations

Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 1998, ended March 31,
1998, were $1,783,000 ($0.27 per share - diluted) on revenues of
$16,230,000. This compares to net earnings of $1,768,000 ($0.27
per share - diluted) on revenues of $13,651,000 in the third quarter
of fiscal 1997. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, net
earnings were $5,679,000 ($0.85 per share - diluted) on revenues of
$46,807,000. This compares with net earnings of $5,143,000 ($0.78
per share - diluted) on revenues of $37,951,000 for the same period
last fiscal year. The increased earnings for the quarter and nine
months ended March 31, 1998 were driven by increased revenue volume
primarily from infrared optics and materials and products from the
Company's VLOC subsidiary.

Order bookings for the third quarter were $16,083,000 compared to
$13,595,000 for the same period last fiscal year, an 18% increase.
Year-to-date order bookings grew by 21% to $48,958,000 from $40,416,000
last fiscal year. Commercial orders for infrared optics and materials
accounted for approximately 30% and 50% of the quarter and year-to-
date increases, respectively, while bookings at the Company's VLOC
subsidiary accounted for approximately 70% and 45% of the quarter and
year-to-date increases, respectively.

Manufacturing revenues for the third quarter were $15,735,000 compared
to $13,119,000 for the same period last fiscal year, a 20% increase.
Year-to-date manufacturing revenues grew by 24% to $44,996,000 from
$36,226,000 last fiscal year. For the quarter, 75% of the increase
reflects higher shipments of infrared optics and materials,
approximately 20% is attributable to increased shipments from the
Company's VLOC subsidiary and the remaining increase is primarily due
to eV PRODUCTS division shipments.

Manufacturing gross margin for the third quarter was $6,634,000 or 42%
of manufacturing revenues compared to $5,832,000 or 44% of
manufacturing revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Manufacturing gross margin year-to-date was $19,792,000 or 44% of
revenues compared to $16,327,000 or 45% of revenues in fiscal 1997.
The lower gross margin percentage for the quarter reflects temporary
operating inefficiencies at the Company's VLOC subsidiary resulting
from its relocation to a newly expanded manufacturing facility. Also
impacting gross margin for the quarter were increased per unit
manufacturing costs in the eV PRODUCTS division due to the expansion
of capacity in order to meet a major customer's order which was
subsequently delayed. The decline in the year-to-date gross margin
percentage is due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the
Japanese yen, increased per unit manufacturing costs in the eV
PRODUCTS division due to slower than expected revenue growth and
operating inefficiencies at the Company's VLOC subsidiary resulting
from its relocation to a new manufacturing facility.

Internal research and development expenses for the quarter were
$516,000 or 3% of revenues compared to $312,000 or 2% of revenues
for the same period last year. Internal research and development
expenses year-to-date were $1,161,000 or 2% of revenues compared to
$696,000 or 2% of revenues in fiscal 1997. The increased expenses for
both the quarter and year-to-date reflect a shift toward internally
funded projects associated with the development of new materials to
improve profitability and expand product offering, as well as
continued efforts to improve CdZnTe material growth yields.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter
were $3,727,000 or 23% of revenues compared to $3,210,000 or 24% of
revenues for last fiscal year's third quarter. Selling, general and
administrative expenses year-to -date were $10,829,000 or 23% of
revenues compared to $9,191,000 or 24% of revenues in fiscal 1997.
The expense increase is attributable to higher general and
administrative expenses needed to support the Company's growth.

10

Other income for the third quarter was $41,000 compared to other
income of $52,000 for last fiscal year's third quarter. Other
expense year-to-date was $142,000 compared to other income of
$345,000 in fiscal 1997. The year-to-date fluctuation is 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 invested cash balances. The lower cash
balance was primarily due to increased capital spending. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".

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 which are generally taxed
at higher rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 1998 by
$8,718,000 primarily due to $16,932,000 in capital expenditures,
partially offset by proceeds from long-term borrowings and cash
generated from operations.

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,
which was substantially completed during the third quarter of fiscal
1998, and a new 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility for the
Company's eV PRODUCTS division in Pennsylvania, which will be
substantially completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998,
as well as the purchase and improvement of a 22,000 square foot
manufacturing facility at the Company's VLOC subsidiary.

The Company generated $1,647,000 in cash from operations for the
first nine months of fiscal 1998. The $8,752,000 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 and 1998 world-wide profit-driven bonus and
retirement programs and increases in accounts receivable and
inventories needed to support the growth in sales volume.

Historically, the Company has funded growth from cash flow from
operations and, to a lesser extent, borrowings. In the first nine
months of fiscal 1998, in addition to cash generated from operations,
the Company executed a $1,980,000 low interest rate loan and entered
into a $10.0 million unsecured line of credit. As of March 31, 1998,
the Company had $1,980,000 and $4.5 million outstanding under these
instruments, respectively. The March 31, 1998 cash balance, in
addition to available borrowings under the line of credit, will be
used for working capital needs, further capital expenditures,
scheduled debt payments and other general corporate business purposes.

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.
