         Diluted shares include the potential dilutive effect of outstanding
convertible preferred stock and stock options. Shares issuable upon conversion
of convertible subordinated debentures have been excluded from the calculation

                                             =============      ==============


Note D - New Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 has
subsequently been amended by SFAS No. 137, issued in June 1999, which delays the
effective date for implementation of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS No. 133 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

         In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB
101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain
of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to
revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company is required to adopt
SAB 101 in the quarter ended May 27, 2001. Management does not expect the
adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

Note E - Segment and Related Information

         The Company's individual business units have been aggregated into four
reportable segments: (1) Electromagnetics; (2) LTS Superconducting Materials;
and (3) Refrigeration, and (4) Energy Technology on the basis of similar
products, processes and economic circumstances, among other things. The
Electromagnetics Segment designs, manufactures and sells magnet systems and
radio frequency ("RF") coils used in MRI for medical diagnostics. The LTS
Superconducting Materials Segment manufactures and sells superconducting wire
principally for the construction of superconducting MRI magnet systems. The
Refrigeration Segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells refrigeration
equipment and refrigerants. The Energy Technology segment consists primarily of
the design and manufacture of High Temperature Superconductor ("HTS") material
and the development of devices used to transmit and distribute electric power
such as HTS transmission cables and power transformers. Through February 27,
2000, the activities of the Energy Technology Segment were included in the
Electromagnetics Segment. Segment data for prior periods have been adjusted to
conform with current period presentation.

         Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for as if the sales or
transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. The Company
evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income
(loss).

Note F - Restructuring


         In February 2000, the Company decided to exit its refrigerant business,
a part of the Refrigeration Segment, over a 15 month period. As a result, the
Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2,000,000, including liabilities of
$191,000, comprised of the following:

(Dollars in Thousands)

Inventory write-down                         $1,770
Write-down of equipment                          39
Severance costs                                 191
                                             ------
                                             $2,000
                                             ======

         Under the exit plan, the Company terminated all but two of its
employees. The plan involves continuing operations through a master distributor
while attempting to find a buyer for the business, and contemplates sales of
product through May 2001, at which time operations would cease. The Company paid
a total of $99,000 in payments of the severance costs during fiscal 2000, and an
additional $3,000 during the quarter ended August 27, 2000. The remaining
balance of the accrued severance liability at August 27, 2000 was approximately
$89,000.

Note G - Convertible Subordinated Debentures

         On July 12, 2000, $10,090,000 of the Company's 5.75% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures were converted into 728,187 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $13.856 per share. The Company issued an additional 31,415
shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at approximately $614,000, or
$19.539 per share, which is included in interest expense.

         On September 7, 2000, $8,765,000 of the Company's 5.75% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures were converted into 632,578 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $13.856 per share. The Company issued an additional 48,900
shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at approximately $941,000, or $19.25
per share to induce early conversion and in lieu of all accrued interest

Note H - Patents

         On June 30, 2000, the Company entered into a non-exclusive,
royalty-free agreement to license certain US and international patents and
pending patents related to superconducting materials and devices. In connection
with the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a lump sum fee payable in two
installments. Additionally, the Company granted the licensor warrants to
purchase 103,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $19.36 per
share.

Note I - Retirement Plans

         The Company has a non-contributory, defined benefit plan covering all
eligible employees. Benefits under the plan are based on years of service and
employees' career average compensation. The Company's funding policy is to
contribute annually an amount sufficient to meet or exceed the minimum funding
standard contained in the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are intended to
provide not only for benefits attributable to service to date, but also for
those expected to be earned in the future. As of December 31, 1998, the Company
froze all pension benefits except for approximately 50 bargaining unit employees
at a subsidiary. In September 2000 the Company received approval from the
Internal Revenue Service to terminate the plan and has begun to take the
necessary steps to do so.

INTERMAGNETICS GENERAL CORPORATION

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The statements contained in this report which are not historical fact
are "forward-looking statements" that involve various important assumptions,
risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the Company's actual
results for fiscal year 2001 and beyond to differ materially from those
expressed in such forward-looking statements. These important factors include,
without limitation, the assumptions, risks, and uncertainties set forth herein,
as well as other assumptions, risks, uncertainties and factors disclosed
elsewhere in this report and in the Company's press releases, shareholders'
reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Company Overview

         Intermagnetics General Corporation ("we" or the "Company") operates in
four reportable operating segments: Electromagnetics, LTS Superconducting
Materials, Refrigeration and Energy Technology. The Electromagnetics segment
consists primarily of the manufacture and sale of magnets (by the IGC-Magnet
Business Group) and radio frequency coils (by IGC-Medical Advances, Inc), and
the LTS Superconducting Materials segment consists primarily of the manufacture
and sale of low-temperature superconducting wire and cable (by IGC-AS), all of
which are used mainly in Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") for medical
diagnostics. The majority of the Company's sales in these two segments are to US
and European customers. The Refrigeration segment consists of refrigeration
equipment produced by two subsidiaries, IGC- APD Cryogenics Inc. (IGC-APD) and
IGC - Polycold Systems Inc. (IGC-Polycold), and refrigerants which are sold by
another subsidiary, InterCool Energy Corporation (ICE). Refrigeration equipment
is used in the vacuum deposition industry, the semiconductor manufacturing
process, MRI, and in a variety of research applications. Refrigerants consist of
a family of environmentally friendly refrigerants designed to replace banned CFC
refrigerants. This business is being phased out pursuant to an exit plan adopted
in February 2000. Sales of this segment are primarily to US, Asian and European
customers. The Energy Technology segment consists primarily of the design and
manufacture of High Temperature Superconductor ("HTS") material and the
development of devices used to transmit and distribute electric power such as
HTS transmission cables and power transformers. Through the third quarter of
fiscal 2000, the activities of the Energy Technology segment were included in
the Electromagnetics segment. Segment data for prior years has been adjusted to
conform with current year presentation. The Company operates on a 52/53 week
fiscal year ending the last Sunday during the month of May.


                                    13

Results Of  Operations

         For the quarter ended August 27, 2000, sales increased by 18.2%, to
$31.7 million, from $26.8 million for the same period last year.

         Sales of the Electromagnetics segment increased by $4.8 million, or
32%, due mainly to a substantial increase in magnet system sales resulting from
higher demand by the Company's major customer and additional volume resulting
from the purchase of our former joint venture's production rights. Additionally,
sales of RF coils increased by 8%, reversing a prior year decline.

         Sales of LTS superconducting materials were up 14% over last year due
to increased demand from the segment's largest customer.

         Sales of refrigeration equipment increased by 12% due to higher demand.
This was partially offset by a reduction in refrigerant sales as we pursue our
exit plan for this business.

         During fiscal 2000, the Company increased its emphasis on developing
HTS for application to devices expected to improve electronic power transmission
and distribution. These devices are expected to include HTS power transmission
cables, transformers, and fault current controllers. In view of the expected
increased importance of these activities, the Company began reporting them as a
separate segment, Energy Technology. In prior years, this segment's activities
had been aggregated in the Electromagnetics segment. Prior year segment data
presented in Note E of Notes to Financial Statements has been reclassified to
conform with current year presentation. Sales of this segment declined by 40%
due to the Company's decision to de-emphasize first generation conductors as
well as a current year focus on readying the facility to produce second
generation conductors. The Company believes, in general, that first generation
conductors (consisting of ceramic components in a silver matrix) will be unable
to achieve cost and performance targets necessary to make devices produced with
this material economically feasible. Accordingly, we refocused our efforts on
conductors in which the superconducting components are deposited on a nickel
substrate. We believe the new focus will lead to an increase in sales in the
coming year. We are actively seeking additional strategic partners to assist in
the development and marketing of these products.

         Gross margins increased to $12.8 million, or 40.5% of sales from $9.8
million, or 36.6% last year. The improvement was largely due to the substantial
increase in magnet sales in the Electromagnetics segment, as well as improved
margins in the Refrigeration segment resulting from operating improvements in
the refrigeration equipment portion of the segment.

                                       14
<PAGE>


         Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 13% in the
current fiscal year due primarily an increased level of activity in the Energy
Technology segment and an increase in consulting expenses.

         Amortization of intangible assets increased in the current quarter due
to intangibles acquired in connection with the termination of the AISA joint
venture agreement.

         Operating income increased substantially during the current quarter due
to the higher level of sales and improved gross margins.

         Equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates in last year's first
quarter represented losses recognized from application of the equity method to
our investment in Kryotech, a maker of computer chip cooling devices. We used
the equity method only because our ownership interest exceeded 20% of Kryotech's
equity. Since last year, Kryotech raised additional capital through an offering,
and they expect to raise additional capital in the coming months. Our ownership
interest was diluted and, accordingly, we have ceased applying the equity method
to this investment.

         Interest expense in the current quarter includes about $400,000 of
premium in connection with the early redemption of $10.1 million of our
convertible debentures.

         Our effective tax rate was 38.6% in the current quarter compared with
44% last year. The reduction is largely due to higher benefit from our Foreign
Sales Corporation (FSC). The future of FSC is uncertain due to recently
introduced legislation and the United States' membership in the World Trade
Organization. Accordingly, we are unable to predict how long our tax rate will
remain at its present level.

         Looking forward, we expect higher sales and earnings over the remainder
of fiscal 2001 based on expected continuation of increases in Electromagnetics
and Refrigeration segment sales. The Refrigeration segment attained
profitability during the fourth quarter of last year, and improved further in
the current quarter. We expect these improvements to continue. We also believe
that we will be able to continue and expand the gains in gross margins achieved
in fiscal 2000. We expect to devote a portion of this increase to internal
research and development efforts, particularly in the Energy Technology segment,
but we believe that earnings will continue to grow at a faster rate than sales.
These expectations are based on the following assumptions, among others:

     o    The market for MRI systems continues to grow;

     o    We are able to continue and expand the recovery in RF coil sales;

                                       15
<PAGE>

     o    Current order trends for MRI magnets and refrigeration equipment
          continue; and

     o    Reductions in production costs in all business segments continue.

Year 2000

         Our Information Technology systems and facilities successfully
completed the transition to the year 2000 with no adverse or negative impacts
associated with the processing of date sensitive systems and equipment. We
continue to evaluate the year 2000 compliance of our business systems,
facilities and significant vendors, but we believe that the risk of significant
problems is small. We spent about $0.2 million on our total year 2000 readiness
activities which was expensed as incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Commitments

         We generated nearly $8.5 million in cash from operating activities in
the current period, and increased our cash position by over $5 million. Total
cash and cash equivalents total nearly $18 million at the end of the quarter.
See the consolidated statement of cash flows, located elsewhere in this report,
for further details on sources and uses of cash.

         During the current quarter, we entered into a non-exclusive license
agreement with respect to certain US and international patents related to HTS
materials and devices. In connection with the agreement, we agreed to pay a lump
sum fee, payable in two installments (one of which was paid during the first
quarter of fiscal 2001) and granted them warrants to purchase 103,000 shares of
our Common Stock at a price of $19.36 per share (shares and prices adjusted for
the stock dividend for holders of record August 4, 2000). The license is valid
for all fields of use and does not require us to pay an ongoing royalty.

         Also in the quarter, $10,090,000 of our 5 3/4% convertible subordinated
debentures were converted into 728,187 shares of our Common Stock at $13.856 per
share. Additionally, we issued 31,415 shares of Common Stock valued at $19.539
per share to induce early conversion and in lieu of all accrued interest. The
shares and prices have been adjusted for the upcoming stock dividend. Virtually
all of the remaining debentures were converted shortly after the close of the
quarter.

         Our capital and resource commitments at August 27, 2000 consisted of
capital equipment commitments of $800,000 and the $1 million due on the
previously mentioned license agreement.

         We have a $27 million unsecured line of credit with two banks.
Borrowings under the line bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) plus 0.5% or prime less 0.5% at our option. The line was not in use
during the quarter. The line expires in November 2002.

                                       16
<PAGE>

         We believe we have adequate resources to meet our needs for the
short-term from our existing cash balances, our expected cash generation in the
current fiscal year, and our line of credit. Longer-term, with substantial
increases in sales volume and/or unusually large research and development or
capital expenditure requirements to pursue new opportunities in the Energy
Technology segment, we could need to raise additional funds. We would expect to
be able to do so through additional lines of credit, public offerings or private
placements. However, in the event funds were not available from these sources,
or on acceptable terms, we would expect to manage our growth within the
financing available.

         Inflation has not had a material impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company's exposure to market risk through derivative financial
instruments and other financial instruments, such as investments in short-term
marketable securities and long-term debt, is not material. The financial
instruments of the Company that are interest rate dependent are revenue bonds
issued in connection with the acquisition of certain land, building and
equipment, an unsecured line of credit and a mortgage payable. The Company
manages interest rates through various methods within contracts. For the revenue
bonds, the Company negotiated variable rates with the option to set fixed rates.
On its mortgage payable, the Company negotiated an "interest rate swap"
agreement that, in effect, fixes the rate at 6.88%. With respect to its
unsecured line of credit, the Company may elect to apply interest rates to
borrowings under the line which relate to either the London Interbank Offered
Rate or prime, whichever is most favorable. The Company's objective in managing
