Board of Directors
Medical Advances, Inc.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

      We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Medical Advances, Inc.
(an S corporation) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of earnings and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Medical Advances, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          -----------------------------

                     Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

Note A - Description of Company and summary of significant accounting policies:

         Description of Company:
           The Company manufactures and sells products that enhance the images
            produced by magnetic resonance equipment. Its sales are to medical
            care providers located throughout North and South America, Asia and
            Western Europe.

         Use of estimates:
           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
            statements and notes to financial statements. Actual results could
            differ from those estimates.

         Cash and cash equivalents:
           The Company treats all investments in highly liquid debt instruments
            purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash
            equivalents on the Company's balance sheet. The Company maintains
            its cash in bank deposit accounts. The balances fluctuate greatly
            during the year and can exceed the federally insured limit of
            $100,000. Cash balances at December 31, 1996 exceeded the federally
            insured limit by approximately $1,060,000.

         Inventories:
           Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
            method) or market. Cost includes material, labor and manufacturing
            overhead.

         Depreciation:
           Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful
            life using accelerated methods of depreciation.

         Amortization:
           Patent and license agreements are amortized over their estimated
            useful lives (five years) under the straight-line method.

         Taxes on income:
           The Company elected S corporation status effective January 1, 1993.
            Retained earnings at the date of the S election was $938,124.
            Taxable income of an S corporation is allocated to its shareholders
            who are personally liable for their share of income taxes.

Note B - Short term investment:

          In December, 1996, the Company purchased a $100,000 corporate bond
            that is classified as a security available for sale. The bond is
            carried at cost, which approximates fair market value plus accrued
            interest.

Item 7(b).    Pro Forma Financial Information.

         Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet of Intermagnetics General
Corporation ("IGC") and Medical Advances, Inc. ("MAI") as of November 24, 1996
and Pro Forma Combined Condensed Summary of Operations for IGC and MAI for the
six months ended November 24, 1996 and the twelve months ended May 26, 1996.



                                  INTRODUCTION
                                  ------------

         On March 11, 1997, Intermagnetics General Corporation
("Intermagnetics") acquired Medical Advances, Inc. ("MAI"), a Wisconsin
corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger,
dated March 11, 1997 (the "Agreement"), among Intermagnetics, Intermagnetics
Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermagnetics ("Merger Sub"),
MAI, and the 19 stockholders of MAI named therein (the "Stockholders"). Pursuant
to the Agreement, MAI was acquired by merger (the "Merger") of MAI into Merger
Sub. In the Merger, all of the 92,342 shares of the outstanding common stock of
MAI were exchanged for the Merger consideration, described below.

         The Merger consideration was arrived at by arm's length negotiation and
consisted on an aggregate basis of approximately $4.5 million in cash, 652,168
shares of the common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Intermagnetics (the
"Intermagnetics Common Stock") and certain additional contingent rights
("Rights"), described below. The total value of the Merger consideration
received by the Stockholders, exclusive of the Rights, was approximately $11.735
million. Each Stockholder received for each MAI share held by it approximately
$48.73 in cash and approximately seven shares of Intermagnetics Common Stock.

         Pursuant to the rights, the Stockholders are entitled to receive up to
a maximum aggregate 97,826.09 additional shares (the "Adjustment Shares") of
Intermagnetics Common Stock if the average closing price of the Intermagnetics
Common Stock (the "Adjusted Closing Price"), as reported on the American Stock
Exchange for the period beginning on the first trading day after the Company
issues a release on its revenues and earnings for its 1997 fiscal year and
ending ninety calendar days later, is less than $11.50. The Adjustment Shares
shall be calculated as that number of shares equal to (a) $7,500,000 divided by
the greater of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) the Adjusted Closing Price, minus
(b) $7,500,000 divided by $11.50 per share.

         Prior to the Merger, MAI was engaged in the business of manufacturing
and distributing accessories used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging devices. All
plant and equipment assets acquired in the Merger will continue to be used
primarily as they were prior to the Merger .
