             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Participants and Administrator
IGC 401(k) Retirement 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 IGC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at May 31, 2005 and 2004, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards 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 audits were 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, 2005 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 audits 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.

IGC 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2005 AND 2004
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

       The following brief description of IGC 401(k) Retirement 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"). The Plan became effective on February 1, 1985, and was
       restated as of June 1, 1997. 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 75% of their annual compensation, not to exceed certain
       Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. Participants may also contribute
       amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit
       or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investments of
       their contributions into various options offered by the Plan. The Company
       currently offers fourteen mutual funds, one insurance contract, brokerage
       option and company stock as investment options for participants. 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, bonuses and commissions.
       Company contributions are allocated to investment options 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. Discretionary contributions of $1,111,345 and $590,794 were
       made for the years ended May 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company
       also contributes a supplemental frozen pension contribution for certain
       employees who were employed before or on November 30, 1997 and were a
       participant in the Intermagnetics General Corporation Pension Plan.

       PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
       Participants' accounts are credited with the participants' contributions
       and allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and, (b) Plan earnings.
       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 used to reduce employer contributions for the
       year ended May 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $31,406 and $62,655,
       respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2005 AND 2004
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


       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.

       MERGER
       Effective January 31, 2005, MRI Devices Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing
       Plan (MRI) and Invivo Corporation 401(k) Plan (Invivo) merged into the
       IGC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. As a result, all investments in
       mutual funds and participant loans were transferred from the two plans
       into the Plan on the aforementioned date. The total amount of the
       transfer to the Plan is $5,308,177 for Invivo and $2,656,062 for MRI for
       the year ended May 31, 2005.

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 is based on quoted market values on the last business day of
       the Plan year. Investments in insurance contracts are valued at contract
       value. 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. Investments in
       common collective trusts are valued at the fair value of the Plan's share
       of the underlying investments. 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 funds and common collective
       trusts, based on the average cost for investments in the respective
       funds.

       ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
       The Plan's administrative expenses are paid by the Company for the years
       ended May 31, 2005 and 2004.

       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.

MAY 31, 2005 AND 2004
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS
       Benefits are recorded when paid.

       RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
       The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
       stock or insurance contract and mutual funds. Investment securities are
       exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due
       to the high level of risk associated with certain investment securities
       and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of
       investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in
       risk in the near term would materially affect participants' account
       balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets
       available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
       available for benefits.

4.     INVESTMENT CONTRACT WITH INSURANCE COMPANY

       In 2005, the Plan entered into a benefit-responsive investment contract
       with New York Life Insurance Management (NYLIM). The account is credited
       with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant
       withdrawals and administrative expenses. The contract is included in the
       financial statements at contract value as reported to the Plan by NYLIM.
       Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus
       earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.
       Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all of a
       portion of their investment at contract value.

       There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the
       contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield and credited interest
       rates were approximately 1.2% for 2005.

5.     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.

6.     INCOME TAX STATUS

       The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
       letter dated August 1, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed
       in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has
       been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan
       administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being
       operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

7.     RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds, common collective
       trust and an insurance contract managed by NYLIM after January 31, 2005
       and Putnam prior to January 31, 2005. NYLIM and Putnam are custodians and
       record keepers as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions
       qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also invests in the
       common stock of the Plan's sponsor, Intermagnetics General Corporation,
       and holds participant loans. These transactions also qualify as
       party-in-interest transactions.
