Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


On November 24, 1997, Intermagnetics General Corporation (the "Company")
completed its acquisition of Polycold Systems International, a California
corporation ("Polycold"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
and Merger, dated November 24, 1997 (the "Agreement"), by and among the
Company, Polycold Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), Polycold, and the 13 stockholders of 
Polycold named therein (the "Stockholders"). Pursuant to the Agreement, 
Polycold was acquired by the merger (the "Merger") of Polycold with and into 
Merger Sub. Merger Sub is the surviving corporation in the Merger, and has been 
named Polycold  Systems International, Inc. In the Merger, all of the 284,887 
shares of the  outstanding common stock, no par value, of Polycold (the 
"Polycold Shares") 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 a promissory note (the "Note") for $6.82
million, approximately 276,050 shares of the common stock, par value $.10 per
share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), and approximately 70,000
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, of the
Company (the "Company Series A Preferred Stock"). The Note bears interest at
the compound rate of 5.75% per annum, and is payable, subject to certain
obligations of the Stockholders of Polycold as set forth in greater detail in
the Agreement, ninety (90) days after issuance. The total value of the Merger
consideration received by the Stockholders of Polycold was approximately $16.5
million. Each Stockholder of Polycold received for each Polycold Share held by
it (i) a portion of the Note equal to approximately $23.94, (ii) approximately
 .97 shares of Company Common Stock, and (iii) approximately .25 shares of 
Company Series A Preferred Stock.

All of the Stockholders of Polycold voted in favor of the Merger by a
Unanimous Written Consent of Stockholders In Lieu of A Special Meeting, dated
November 24, 1997, and are signatories to the Agreement.

The Company currently expects that the portion of the consideration
represented by the Note will, upon payment, be financed internally by the
Company or by Bank borrowings.

Prior to the Merger, Polycold was engaged in the manufacture of large
capacity, cryogenic systems. All plant, equipment and other physical property
acquired in the Merger will continue to be used primarily as they were prior
to the Merger. As contemplated by the Agreement, Ronald W. Sykes, an officer,
director and shareholder of Polycold, has entered into an Employment Agreement
with Intermagnetics, dated November 24, 1997, pursuant to which he has assumed
the position of Vice President and General Manager of Merger Sub. In addition
Dale Missimer, former Polycold Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has entered
into a five year consulting agreement to ensure a smooth transition.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1997




(1)    Organization of the Company

       Polycold Systems International, Inc., a California company, was
       incorporated in June 1974 as Marin Tek, Inc. In January 1992, Marin
       Tek, Inc. merged Polycold Systems, Inc., its then wholly owned
       subsidiary corporation, into itself. The resulting company was named
       Polycold Systems International, Inc.

       The Company manufactures and distributes super cooling units throughout
       the United States, Europe and Asia.

       On November 24, 1997, the Company completed the sale of all its
       outstanding issued or issuable shares to Intermagnetics General
       Corporation.


(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
       and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
       during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents

       The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining
       maturity of three months or less at the date of the acquisition to be
       cash equivalents.

       Short Term Investments

       Short term investments consist mainly of certificate of deposits and U.S.
       Treasury debt securities which have a maturity of less than two years. In
       accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
       Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the
       Company has classified all short term investments as available for sale.
       Available for sale securities are stated at fair value with unrealized
       gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders'
       equity.

       Concentration of Credit Risk

       The Company sells its products to a diversified group of customers in the
       United States, Europe and Asia. The Company extends credit based on an
       evaluation of each customer's financial condition and generally requires
       no collateral from its customers. Credit losses, if any have been
       provided for in the balance sheet and have been within management's
       expectation.

       Overseas sales are made to foreign distributors who sell to the end
       customer. As of September 30, 1997, the amounts owed by three
       distributors amounted to 63% of the gross accounts receivable balance.

       In addition, the Company has a concentration of credit risk with
       respect to cash deposited in a commercial bank that is in excess of
       federally insured amounts.

                   Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


       Revenue Recognition

       Revenue from product sales is recognized upon product shipment. Any
       deposits received by the Company in advance of product shipment is shown
       as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Provisions for estimated
       warranty repairs and returns and allowances are provided as sales are
       recorded.

       Foreign Currency Transactions

       Revenue and expense transactions are recorded and translated into U.S.
       dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

       Inventories

       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the
       first-in, first out method.

       Property and Equipment

       Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
       Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the
       useful lives of the respective assets or the lease term, generally three
       to five years. During 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.121, Accounting for the Impairment of
       Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The
       adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the Company's
       financial position.

       Income Taxes

       Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
       Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
       consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
       carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
       tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
       assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
       apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
       are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
       assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
       in the period that includes the enactment date.


(3)    Short Term Investments

       As of September 30, 1997, there were no material differences between
       cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities.
