                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Administrator
Intermagnetics General Corporation IGC Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
Intermagnetics General Corporation IGC Savings Plan as of May 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the
years then ended. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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. 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 assets available for benefits of Intermagnetics
General Corporation IGC Savings Plan as of May 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are 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. The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                              May 31, 1998 and 1997


(1)    Description of the Plan

       The following brief description of the 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.

       (a)    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).

       (b)    Eligibility

              An employee must complete 12 consecutive months of service from
              the date of employment, during which time the employee must work
              at least 1,000 hours and have attained the age of 21 to be
              eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees can join the Plan
              on the first day of the month following the date of their first
              anniversary.

       (c)    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 3% of their gross compensation, which includes a participant's
              base compensation, overtime, fees, tips, profits, bonuses and
              commissions. Additional profit-sharing contributions are at the
              discretion of the Company.

       (d)    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.

              The accumulated values of participants' accounts as of May 31 were
              as follows:

                                                      1998           1997

       (e)    Vesting and Forfeitures

              All participants are fully vested in their contributions and
              employer matching contributions, plus accumulated earnings
              thereon. A participant vests in 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 of profit-sharing contributions, if any, from accounts
              of non-vested terminated participants are allocated to remaining
              participants in the same manner as Company contributions. There
              were no amounts forfeited during 1998 and 1997.

       (f)    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 secured 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.

       (g)    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, 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

       (a)    Basis of Presentation

              The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an
              accrual basis and present the assets available for plan benefits
              and changes in those assets.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


(2), Continued

       (b)    Investments

              Investments are stated at their fair value. The fair values 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' audited financial
              statements. Intermagnetics General Corporation common stock ("IGC
              Stock Fund") owned by the Plan is carried at market value based on
              quoted market prices. Participant loans are valued at cost, which
              approximates fair value.

              Security transactions are recognized under a method that
              approximates the 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.

       (c)    Administrative Expenses

              Administrative expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the Plan
              were approximately $18,000 and $22,000 during 1998 and 1997, 
              respectively.

       (d)    Use of Estimates

              The Plan administrator has made certain estimates and assumptions
              related to the reporting of the financial status of the Plan and
              changes therein to prepare these financial statements in
              conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual
              results could differ from those estimates.


(3)    Investments

       The Plan offers participants the option to choose from eight funds,
       including the IGC Stock Fund. The eight funds currently available to
       participants are as follows:

                      American Century Ultra Fund
                      Neuberger & Berman Guardian Fund
                      Strong Government Securities Fund
                      Exeter Trust Company collective investment trust funds:
                           Long-Term Growth
                           Growth with Reduced Volatility
                           Defensive Growth
                           Stable Income
                      IGC Stock Fund

       Company contributions are allocated on the same bases as those chosen for
       participant contributions.

(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 ruled 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 is not aware of any course of action or series of
       events that have occurred that might adversely impact the Plan's
       qualified status.
