INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

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

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-
month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. 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 condensed 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, 1998, 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 7,
1998, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 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 third quarter of fiscal 1999, ended March 31, 1999
were $1,498,000 ($0.23 per share-diluted) on revenues of $15,538,000.
This compares to net earnings of $1,783,000 ($0.27 per share-diluted) on
revenues of $16,230,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. For the
nine months ended March 31, 1999, net earnings were $3,429,000 ($0.53
per share-diluted) on revenues of $44,541,000. This compares with net
earnings of $5,679,000 ($0.85 per share-diluted) on revenues of
$46,807,000 for the same period last fiscal year.

Order bookings for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 were $14,655,000
compared to $16,083,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of 9%.
Year-to-date order bookings for 1999 decreased 10% to $43,959,000 from
$48,958,000 for the same period last year. Year-to-date manufacturing
bookings decreased 10% to $43,718,000 from $48,455,000 last fiscal year.
For the quarter, the manufacturing bookings decrease was attributable to
decreased bookings at the Company's VLOC subsidiary and at the Company's
eV PRODUCTS division. Bookings of infrared optics and material products
increased by approximately 5%. For the year-to-date, approximately 75%
of the decrease in manufacturing bookings was attributable to bookings
at the Company's VLOC subsidiary and the remaining decrease was
attributable to bookings of infrared optics and material products.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased 4% to
$15,538,000 compared to $16,230,000 for the same period last year.
Year-to-date revenues for fiscal 1999 decreased 5% to $44,541,000 from
$46,807,000 for the same period last year. For both the quarter and
year-to-date, the decrease was related equally to decreased shipments of
infrared optics and material products and decreased shipments at the
Company's VLOC subsidiary. These decreases were offset by increases in
shipments at the Company's eV PRODUCTS division of approximately 40% for
the quarter and approximately 15% for the year-to-date.

Manufacturing gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was
$6,468,000 or 42% of revenues compared to $6,634,000 or 42% of revenues
for the same period last year. Year-to-date for fiscal 1999,
manufacturing gross margin was $16,727,000 or 38% of revenues compared
to $19,792,000 or 44% of revenues for the same period last year. The
lower gross margin percentage for the year-to-date reflects higher per
unit costs at the Company's VLOC subsidiary and continued price
sensitivity in the infrared optics and materials market. The
manufacturing gross margin percentage has increased from 34% of revenues
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to 42% of revenues in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 and reflects increases in every product line.

Internal research and development expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal year 1999 were $617,000 or 4% of revenues compared to $516,000 or
3% of revenues for the same period last year. Year-to-date for fiscal
1999, internal research and development expenses were $1,769,000 or 4%
of revenues compared to $1,161,000 or 2% of revenues for the same period
last year. The increased expense for the quarter and year-to-date is
the result of internally funded projects associated with the development
of new materials to improve and expand product offerings, as well as
continued efforts to improve material growth yields.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 were $3,592,000 or 23% of revenues compared to $3,727,000 or
23% of revenues for the same period last year. Year-to-date for fiscal
1999, selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,035,000 or
23% of revenues compared to $10,829,000 or 23% of revenues for the same
period last year. The dollar decreases for the quarter and year-to-date
reflect planned discretionary cost reductions, decreased expense
associated with the Company's worldwide profit-driven bonus programs and
improved utilization of existing personnel and resources.

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was $61,000
compared to $64,000 for the same period last year. Year-to-date for
fiscal 1999, interest expense was $341,000 compared to $91,000 for the
same period last year. The year-to-date fluctuation is the direct
result of increased borrowings.

Other expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was $107,000 compared
to other income of $105,000 for the same period last year. Year-to-date
for fiscal 1999, other income was $173,000 compared to other expense of
$51,000 for the same period last year. The quarter fluctuation was
primarily the result of foreign currency translation losses. The year-


11

to-date fluctuation was the result of foreign currency translation gains
offset by the writedown of certain assets held for sale.

For fiscal 1999, the Company's year-to-date effective income tax rate
was 32% which was higher than the 30% income tax rate for the same
period last fiscal year. The increase in the effective income tax rate
is the result of higher state income taxes and lower earnings from
certain foreign subsidiaries.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash increased during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 by $323,000
primarily due to net earnings before depreciation and amortization of
$7,074,000 and reductions of accounts receivable and inventories
totaling $1,502,000. This increase was offset by $4,051,000 in capital
expenditures, a reduction of accounts payable of $1,930,000 due to
payment of amounts in the normal course of business, the repurchase of
150,000 shares of the Company's common stock, repayment of short-term
borrowings and payment of compensation costs relating to the Company's
fiscal 1998 worldwide profit-driven bonus programs.

The Company generated $7,025,000 in cash from operations for the first
nine months of fiscal 1999. The $7,074,000 in cash generated from net
earnings before depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999 and reductions of accounts receivable and inventories
were offset by a reduction of accounts payable in the normal course of
business and the payment of compensation costs relating to the Company's
fiscal 1998 worldwide profit-driven bonus programs.

The Company has a $15.0 million unsecured committed line of credit with
PNC Bank that expires on March 25, 2000. This line of credit may be
extended for an additional two years.

The current cash balance and the existing credit facility, as well as
cash to be provided by operations during the remainder of fiscal year
1999, will be used for working capital needs, further capital
expenditures for facilities and equipment, scheduled debt payments, and
possible acquisitions of complementary businesses, products, or
technologies.


Other Matters
- -------------

The "Year 2000" issue concerns the potential exposures related to the
automated generation of business and financial misinformation resulting
from the use of computer programs which have been written using two
digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year of business
transactions.

The Company has developed a formal plan to address the Year 2000
implications of its information technology and noninformation technology
systems. The first phase of this plan is complete and consisted of an
evaluation of the systems impacted by the Year 2000 issue. The second
phase of this plan is substantially completed and consisted of an
evaluation of the third parties with whom the Company has significant
relations and their Year 2000 compliance. The last phase of this plan
will be the implementation of corrective measures deemed necessary, as
identified during the first two stages of the plan. This phase has
begun and is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999.

Based upon the information obtained from the first two stages of the
plan, the Company does not believe its information technology and
noninformation technology systems will experience significant Year 2000
problems. However, there can be no assurance that the third parties
with whom the Company has significant relations will not experience
disruptions in their business that could have a material adverse affect
on the Company. An example of a worst case scenario caused by the Year
2000 issue would be the failure in the accounting systems of a
significant number of the Company's key customers which resulted in a
delay in the payment of invoices issued by the Company.

To date, the Company has spent approximately $150,000 on the Year 2000
issue and believes that the remaining potential cost related to the Year
2000 issue will range between $150,000 and $250,000.

Although the Company has developed and expects to execute the plan
described above, due to the inherent uncertainty and complexity involved
with the Year 2000 issue, there can be no assurance that the Company
will address all aspects of the Year 2000 issue. A contingency plan is
expected to be developed by June 30, 1999.


12

This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward looking
statements as defined by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, including the statements regarding the Company's
ability to fund future working capital needs, capital expenditures,
scheduled debt payments and possible acquisitions and the Company's plan
to address the Year 2000 issue. Actual results could differ from such
statements if worldwide economic conditions change, competitive
conditions intensify, technology problems emerge, and/or if suitable
acquisitions cannot be consummated. There are additional 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 1998 Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 1998.
