                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Participants and Administrator of
Intermagnetics General Corporation IGC Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of Intermagnetics General Corporation IGC Savings Plan (the "Plan") at May 31,
2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
at May 31, 2001 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

Intermagnetics General Corporation IGC Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     Description of the Plan

       The following brief description of Intermagnetics General Corporation
       IGC Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
       Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
       description of the Plan's provisions.

       General
       The Plan is a defined contribution employee savings plan covering
       substantially all employees of Intermagnetics General Corporation (the
       "Company") that became effective on February 1, 1985, as restated on June
       1, 1989. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
       Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

       Eligibility
       An employee must complete 30 days of service from the date of employment,
       and have attained the age of 18 to be eligible to participate in the
       Plan. Employees can join the Plan on the first Monday of the month
       following the 30 days of employment.

       Contributions
       Employees who elect to participate in the Plan may contribute on a pretax
       basis up to 15% of their annual compensation, not to exceed certain
       Internal Revenue Code limitations. Employer contributions to the Plan are
       made equal to 50% of participant contributions, up to 5% of their gross
       compensation, which includes a participant's base compensation, overtime,
       fees, tips, profits, bonuses and commissions. Company contributions are
       allocated on the same basis as those chosen for participant
       contributions. Additional non-elective and/or profit-sharing
       contributions are at the discretion of the Company. The Company made
       non-elective discretionary contributions of approximately $733,000 and
       $566,000 during 2001 and 2000, respectively, which was included in
       contributions receivable at May 31, 2001 and 2000.

       Participant accounts
       Participants' accounts are credited with the participants' contributions
       and allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and, (b) Plan earnings,
       and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations
       are based on participant account balances in the respective funds
       elected.

       Vesting
       All participants immediately vest in their contributions while employer
       matching contributions vest after one year of service, plus accumulated
       earnings thereon. A participant vests in non-elective and/or
       profit-sharing contributions, if any, based upon years of service and is
       100% vested after five years of continuous service, death or disability,
       or upon attainment of age 65.

       Forfeitures
       Forfeitures, if any, from accounts of non-vested terminated participants
       are allocated to pay administrative expenses or to reduce future employer
       contributions. Forfeitures were not used to reduce employer contributions
       for the years ended May 31, 2001 and 2000. Forfeited unvested amounts
       were $7,412 and $191 at May 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively and will be
       used to reduce future employer contributions.

1.     Description of the Plan, Continued

       Participant loans
       Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
       maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account
       balances. Loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant's
       account. Loan terms may not exceed five years, unless for the purchase of
       a primary residence. The loans bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1%
       at the time the loan is made, as determined by the plan administrator.

       Payment of benefits
       On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a
       participant becomes 100% vested and may elect to receive payment in the
       form of a lump-sum or defer payment until the later of death, disability,
       retirement or attainment of age 70-1/2. If a participant's account does
       not exceed $3,500 for participants joining the Plan before August 5, 1997
       or $5,000 for participants joining the Plan thereafter, a lump-sum
       payment will be made.

       A participant may also elect benefits to be paid under the qualifying
       financial hardship provisions of the Plan.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       Basis of presentation
       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
       basis of accounting.

       Investments
       Investments are stated at fair value. The fair value of investments in
       mutual funds are based on quoted redemption values on the last business
       day of the Plan year. The investments in the Exeter Trust Company
       collective investment trust funds are stated at fair value based on the
       market values of the underlying securities as reflected on the funds'
       financial statements. Intermagnetics General Corporation common stock
       ("IGC Stock Fund") owned by the Plan is carried at market value based on
       the latest quoted market prices on the last business day of the plan
       year. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair
       value.

       Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Gain or loss on
       sales of the Company's common stock is determined using the first-in,
       first-out (FIFO) method, and, for mutual and trust funds, based on the
       average cost for investments in the respective funds.

       Administrative expenses
       The Plan stipulates that all costs incurred in administering the Plan
       shall be borne by the Company, or if the Company elects not to pay such
       expenses, they should be paid from the plan. Administrative expenses paid
       by the Company on behalf of the Plan were approximately $21,100 and
       $22,000 during 2001 and 2000, respectively.

       Use of estimates
       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
       principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
       management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
       amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of
       contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

4.     Plan Termination

       Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company may
       terminate the Plan at any time. If the Plan is terminated, the assets of
       the Plan shall be distributed to the participants based upon the
       participants' respective accumulated account balances.


5.     Income Tax Status

       The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
       letter dated September 1, 1995, that the Plan qualifies under Section
       401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not subject
       to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is required
       to operate in conformity with the IRC in order to maintain its qualified
       plan status. The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe
       that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with
       the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, they believe that the
       Plan was qualified and was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.


6.     Subsequent Event

       Subsequent to year end all investments of the Plan were transferred to
       Putnam Investments. The Plan investments had been liquidated at May 31,
       2001 to facilitate the transfer.
