Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities
Dealers. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also
required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all forms that
they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on its review of the copies
of such forms received by the Company, or on written representations from

</TABLE>
(1) The Company's 1987 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Stock Plan (collectively the
"Option Plans") provide for the grant of options and stock purchase rights
to officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted
under the Option Plans may be either "nonstatutory options" or "incentive
stock options." The exercise price is determined by the Board of Directors
or its Compensation Committee and, in the case of incentive stock options,
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant (110% in the case of grants to 10% shareholders). The
options expire not more than ten years from the date of grant and may be
exercised only while the optionee is employed by the Company or within such
period of time after termination of employment as is determined by the
Board or its Committee at the time of grant. The Board of Directors may
determine when options granted may be exercisable.
(2) The first entry for each individual sets forth the number of options
awarded that are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
second entry for each individual sets forth the number of options that are
nonstatutory stock options.
(3) The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 644,200 to all
employees other than executive officers and granted options to purchase an
aggregate of 301,000 shares to all executive officers as a group (7
persons), during fiscal 1998.
(4) This column sets forth hypothetical gains or "option spreads" for the
options at the end of their respective ten-year terms, as calculated in
accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each
gain is based on an arbitrarily assumed annualized rate of compound
appreciation of the market price at the date of grant of 5% and 10% from
the date the option was granted to the end of the option term. The 5% and
10% rates of appreciation are specified by the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and do not represent the Company's estimate or
projection of future Common Stock prices. The Company does not necessarily
agree that this method properly values an option. Actual gains, if any, on
option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the Company's
Common Stock and overall market conditions.

(1) The value realized is calculated based on the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market on the
date of exercise minus the exercise price of the option, and does not
necessarily indicate that the optionee sold such stock.
(2) The Company has not granted any stock appreciation rights and its stock
plans do not provide for the granting of such rights.
(3) The market value of underlying securities is based on the difference
between the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on September 25,
1998 of $9.50 (as reported by Nasdaq National Market) and the exercise
price.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
In fiscal year 1998, members of the Board of Directors who were not
employees of the Company received $16,000 plus $1,500 per meeting attended and
were reimbursed for their expenses incurred in attending such meetings.
The Company's 1990 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Option
Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 8, 1989 and was
approved by the stockholders on March 29, 1990. The Directors' Option Plan was
amended by the Board of Directors on January 25, 1996, and the amendment was
approved by the stockholders on March 20, 1996. The Directors' Option Plan
provides for the automatic and non-discretionary grant of a non-statutory stock
option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to each
non-employee director on the later of the effective date of the Directors'
Option Plan or the date on which such person becomes a director. Thereafter,
each non-employee director will be automatically granted a non-statutory stock
option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of and immediately
following each Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which such non-employee
director is reelected to serve on the Board of Directors, if, on such date, he
or she has served on the Board for at least three months. Such plan provides
that the exercise price shall be equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant of the options.
Three non-employee directors have each been granted options to purchase
60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock under such plan at a weighted
average exercise price of $11.34. One non-employee director has been granted
options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
-5-
<PAGE>
under such plan at a weighted average exercise price of $13.58 per share.
One non-employee director has been granted options to purchase 25,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock under such plan at a weighted average exercise
price of $22.61 per share. As of November 24, 1998, 110,000 shares had been
issued on exercise of such options. The following table shows, as to each
non-employee director, information concerning options exercised under the
Directors' Option Plan during the last fiscal year:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee is composed of Directors Carrubba, Cantoni,
Nelsen and Robertson. During the last fiscal year, the Company paid Dr. Thomas
Nelsen $63,000 in consulting fees. Dr. Nelsen has more than 40 years of
experience as a physician and, before his retirement, was a Professor of Surgery
at Stanford University School of Medicine. Utilizing this experience,
Dr. Nelsen has worked closely with the Company in developing and refining new
laser products for the medical field. Management believes that this arrangement
is at least as favorable as could be negotiated with an outside consultant.
Mr. Gauthier and the Company have entered into a Management Transition
Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Gauthier has agreed to provide employment and
consulting services to the Company through June 30, 1999. In consideration for
these services, the Company agreed (i) to pay Mr. Gauthier his base salary
through June 30, 1997, (ii) to pay him an hourly consulting fee equal to $175.00
for services rendered through June 30, 1999, and (iii) to provide him with
benefits under the Company's medical, dental and life insurance plans.
OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT AND INVESTMENT PLAN AND SUPPLEMENTARY RETIREMENT PLAN
Effective January 1, 1979, the Company adopted the Coherent Employee
Retirement and Investment Plan. Employees become eligible to participate after
completing one year of service. Under this plan, the Company will match
employee contributions to the plan up to a maximum of 6% of the employee's
individual earnings. An employee is not entitled to any part of the Company's
contribution until the completion of his or her third year of employment. After
the end of the third year of employment, 20% of the Company's contribution
vests. Thereafter, an additional 20% of the Company's contribution vests at the
end of each year of completed service until the end of the seventh year of
employment when such contributions become 100% vested. Effective as of 1985,
the plan was amended and restated to conform the plan to new regulations and to
qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to
permit employees to make contributions to the plan from their pre-tax earnings.
Effective January 1, 1990, the Company adopted the Supplementary Retirement Plan
which provides that certain senior management may contribute income to a trust
fund. The Company will match such contributions up to 6% of the participant's
-6-
<PAGE>
income. Such contributions are subject to the same vesting requirements as
contributions made under the Employment Retirement and Investment Plan.
MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN
The Company's Management Bonus Plan provides for the payment of quarterly
cash bonuses to members of management designated by the Board of Directors
determined by a formula based on improvements of pre-tax profits, cash flow and
asset management over preset threshold levels for each operating group or
business unit. Those employees who participate in the Bonus Plan who are not
assigned to an operating group or business unit receive an average of such
amounts.
PRODUCTIVITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Under the Company's Productivity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"),
450,000 shares of Common Stock were initially reserved, and as of the fiscal
year ended September 26, 1998, 50,647 shares of Common Stock were available for
issuance to employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries who are
customarily employed for at least twenty hours per week. The purpose of the
Incentive Plan is to enhance an employee's proprietary interest in the Company
and to create an incentive for the Company's success.
The Incentive Plan provides for the quarterly distribution of cash or
Common Stock, at the election of each participant, based upon the quarterly
profitability of the Company. The amount of cash or number of shares of
Common Stock distributed to each participant is determined by dividing a
participant's "incentive compensation" by the fair market value of the
Company's Common Stock at the end of each three-month period.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders in 1980. A
total of 4,575,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved under the Purchase
Plan, and as of the end of fiscal year 1998, 653,024 shares of Common Stock
remained available for issuance thereunder. The Purchase Plan permits employees
who are employed for at least twenty hours per week and more than five months in
a calendar year to purchase Common Stock of the Company, through payroll
deductions at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the beginning or at the end of each twelve-month period. Payroll deductions may
not exceed 10% of an employee's compensation. The Purchase Plan provides for
two offerings during each fiscal year, each having a duration of twelve months.
