PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
ILC Technology, Inc. ("ILC" or the "Company") designs, develops, and
manufactures high intensity lamps and lighting products for medical, industrial,
communication, aerospace, scientific, entertainment, and military industries.
ILC Technology, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of California
on September 15, 1967. Its principal manufacturing and executive facilities are
located at 399 Java Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089. The Company's telephone
number is (408) 745-7900.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company uses a market focused business strategy. ILC targets selected
high growth markets which most closely match the Company's technological
expertise and manufacturing strengths. With a strong emphasis on research and
development, ILC achieves and maintains a leadership position in these market
segments through advanced technology, engineering design capability and
attentive customer support.
PRODUCTS - FLASHLAMPS
The flashlamp line of products was ILC's founding product line. The Company
makes pulsed and direct current arc lamps that are designed to satisfy a wide
variety of laser and industrial applications requiring rigorous,
high-performance standards. The primary source of sales, of which approximately
80% are for the replacement market, derives from industrial uses such as
materials aging (solar simulation), and laser cutting, drilling, scribing and
marking. Ancillary sales are generated by the medical field where lasers are
utilized in cataract surgery and other exacting procedures. Production is highly
labor-intensive and requires a lengthy training period to achieve a quality
product. The laser market, while somewhat predictable and a steady source of
revenue for the Company, is not expected to grow dramatically. ILC anticipates
that the market for flashlamps in low-energy laser pumping applications will
erode as alternative technologies such as laser diode pumps become increasingly
cost-effective. However, in high-powered laser applications, flashlamps remain
more efficient at less than 50% of the total life cycle cost of laser diodes.
Therefore, ILC continues to investigate high growth arc lamp markets outside of
the laser industry. Some of these include UV sterilization and curing, machine
vision and spectrofluoroscopy.
In August 1991, ILC purchased Q-Arc Ltd., an arc lamp manufacturing company
based in Cambridge, England. In the third quarter of fiscal 1994, ILC invested
$2.7 million to expand Q-Arc's manufacturing capacity and using the new facility
as a base, ILC has begun to broaden its sales effort for all product lines in
key sales locations throughout Europe.
PRODUCTS - CERMAX(R) AND EQUIPMENT
The Company provides short arc xenon lamps that are optically pre-aligned,
encased in a very safe ceramic body bonded to a metallized sapphire window, and
are capable of transmitting the full spectrum from infrared to ultra-violet
wavelengths. In addition, the Company also manufactures fully- encased and open
frame power supplies, lamp holders and other accessories to support the
Cermax(R) product line. Products also include complete fiber-optic lightsources
that are private labelled for manufacturers of medical equipment. Currently, the
primary market is in fiber optic illumination for medical procedures such as
endoscopy.
1
<PAGE>
PRODUCTS - CERMAX(R) AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)
The market for Cermax(R) lightsources and related equipment used in
endoscopy is composed of two segments - a high-intensity or critical segment and
a low-intensity or non-critical segment. Critical endoscopy applications require
high-intensity Cermax(R) lightsources with specialized power supplies due to the
small size of the fiberoptic lightguide. Furthermore, as these applications
often use video displays, high-intensity lightsources are required for good
color rendition. The low-intensity market is dominated by manufacturers of
halogen lightsources. Ancillary industrial uses for Cermax(R) lightsources
include illuminating areas that are difficult to inspect such as nuclear
reactors or jet engines. Emerging uses include lamps for analytical instruments
and video projection. The Company has also targeted new non-medical lightsource
markets which include spot UV curing lightsources and Flash-Cermax(R) machine
vision systems.
For several years, ILC has conducted research and development activities
focused on utilizing Cermax(R), with its brightness characteristics, as a light
source for the projection of computer and television video images. Using the
Cermax(R) light source and a new display technology which is based on Texas
Instruments' Digital Micromirror Device ("DMD"), Rank Brimar Limited, a division
of The Rank Organization Plc, demonstrated a bright, large screen, digital video
projector which promises exceptional image quality.
The video projection market, for both computer and television applications,
is expected to expand as new digital projection technology enables bright,
large-screen display of video in a fully lit setting with exceptional image
quality. Companies such as Texas Instruments and Rank Brimar have developed this
technology for applications in leisure, entertainment and business. Digital
projectors are expected to gain acceptance in entertainment venues, corporate
environments, conference centers, concerts, advertising and promotional events,
training and education and data display.
The factors that may adversely affect the Company's Cermax(R) business
include the expected entry of competitors into the market. The Company's primary
patent on the Cermax(R) lightsource expired in 1991 and the Company expects
competition from established and emerging companies. Increased competition could
result in price reductions, which in turn could generate lower net sales on
stable unit volume. Increased competition could also result in fewer customer
orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market share.
PRODUCTS - SHORT ARC LAMPS
MERCURY XENON SHORT ARC LAMPS ("STEPPER LAMPS")
In fiscal 1995, the Company began commercial shipment of a new product, the
mercury xenon short arc lamp ("stepper lamp"), which is used to expose patterns
during the fabrication of semiconductor wafers. ILC is currently shipping a
complete line of 1,000 watt stepper lamps, expects to begin shipping a 2,000
watt stepper lamp by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and plans to
complete the full family of stepper lamps with power ratings from 1,000 to 2,500
watts. Each lamp, fully utilized, lasts for approximately 1-2 months.
Accordingly, the Company expects that the product will generate a high repeat
business.
The market for stepper lamps is currently dominated by a Japanese
competitor of the Company. ILC has invested heavily in ensuring the quality of
its stepper lamps since end users perceive substantial risk in switching
suppliers. In addition, ILC's stepper lamp does not require the end user to
modify any of its maintenance procedures. The Company has worked over the last
three years with major U.S. end users of stepper equipment, including IBM,
Intel, Texas Instruments, Motorola and Hewlett-Packard to ensure that ILC's
stepper lamps become qualified at each of its customers' plants. ILC's 1,000
watt stepper lamp has also recently been qualified by Sony and Hitachi in Japan.

<PAGE>
PRODUCTS - SHORT ARC LAMPS (CONTINUED)
MERCURY XENON SHORT ARC LAMPS ("STEPPER LAMPS")
The Company's stepper lamps are engineered to be of equivalent quality and
performance and completely interchangeable with lamps provided by other
qualified suppliers. ILC has established relationships with sales
representatives in Japan, Taiwan and Korea and plans to sell stepper lamps
through distributors to reach a broader manufacturing market in Asia. To
accommodate an increased volume of stepper lamps, ILC purchased a 20,000 square
foot office and manufacturing facility in nearby Santa Clara, California in
October 1994. The failure of the Company's stepper lamp to achieve market
acceptance would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations.
MERCURY CAPILLARY LAMPS
Mercury capillary lamps are manufactured using technology and processes
that are similar to those developed for stepper lamps. The applications for
capillary lamps range from the photolithography of grid patterns on color TV
screens to printed circuit boards for computers. The total market for capillary
lamps is about $20 million with about 15% annual growth rate.
PRODUCTS - ADVANCED LIGHTING
The Company develops metal halide technologies for a broad range of
commercial and military applications. Advanced Lighting products include:
o DTI-The Company began new product development activities in fiscal 1994 to
commercialize its aerospace and military metal halide technology. The
Company has developed DTI, a series of integral low-power metal halide
lamps (less than 500 watts) for commercial projection, stage and medical
applications.
o DAYMAX(R) LAMPS-Daymax(R) lamps simulate stable daylight conditions.
Originally developed for use in the space program, these products are now
widely used throughout the entertainment business. Applications include:
indoor and outdoor lighting for motion picture and television productions,
high speed and special effects lighting, concert, disco and stadium
lighting, theatrical lighting and lighting for projection systems.
Daymax(R) lamps are also used for solar simulation in certain manufacturing
processes.
o AEROSPACE PRODUCTS-ILC offers standard, modified, and customer systems
covering the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet spectrum to meet each space
lighting requirement. The Company's lighting systems are key elements of
NASA's Space Transportation System. These systems are installed in the
Space Shuttle interior and exterior, on the Manned Maneuvering Unit, on
Spacelab and in several experiments carried aboard the shuttle orbiters.
Other ILC systems are being designed for use on International Space Station
Alpha, in future shuttle experiments and payload packages and space robotic
vehicles. ILC is the only domestic manufacturer of space lighting qualified
to serve NASA and other government agencies in Japan and Europe.
ILC aerospace lighting systems feature efficiency, reliability, ruggedness,
light weight and full space qualification. New systems aimed to meet unique
requirements can often be developed from ILC's large selection of
space-qualified designs and components, substantially reducing development
costs and lead times.
o MILITARY PRODUCTS-These products include infrared lamps used by the
military on tanks and aircraft to deflect offensive heat seeking missiles.

PRODUCTS - CONVERTER POWER
ILC acquired Converter Power, Inc. (CPI) in January 1993. CPI is a leading
producer of high efficiency, small form factor lamp power sources built to fit
compactly into a variety of systems. The Company designs and manufactures a full
family of UL and TUV-approved power supplies which can be incorporated into
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) equipment. In addition, CPI maintains a
business relationship with a particular OEM to design custom power supplies for
equipment which services the ion implant sector of the semiconductor
manufacturing industry as well as several medical markets.
CPI also provides power supplies which have been specifically engineered
for ILC's Cermax(R) and metal halide lamps. This effort has enabled CPI to
design power sources which will eventually be sold into the video projection
market.
PRODUCTS - PRECISION LAMP
Precision Lamp, Inc. (PLI), purchased in June 1992, distributes over 1,500
types of miniature to microminiature industrial incandescent lamps, and
manufactures the world's only surface-mount lamp small enough to be
automatically inserted onto a printed circuit board. These lamps can be used in
pagers, watches, camera lenses and many other customized miniature lighting
circumstances. Production of the surface-mount lamp and backlight panel are
semi-automated.
The Company has invested in a liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight panel
incorporating the technology of the surface-mount lamp. It is an innovative
product in that it distributes light uniformly across a panel whereas direct
backlighting or light emitting diodes can result in burn spots or uneven
scattering of light. Furthermore, management believes the newly introduced
backlight panel is an easier and less expensive component to use than
electro-luminescent panels which require drive circuitry. This panel is the
first backlight available for small displays. The LCD backlight panel is used in
pagers, phones, two-way radios, games, toys, calculators and cameras. ILC
received its first order at the end of fiscal 1993 for the backlight panel from
an OEM making TV remote controls. Due to the wide range of consumer-driven
applications, this product should enable ILC to broaden its customer base.
Currently, Precision Lamp is working with major LCD fabricators in Japan, Korea,
Taiwan, Singapore and Europe, all of whom are extremely interested in utilizing
this component in their products. The failure of the backlight panel to achieve
market acceptance would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations.
MARKETING AND SALES
ILC sells its products through a direct sales force to OEMs and sells to
end users through sales representatives and distributors. In situations where
the Company is entering an existing market, such as the stepper lamp market, ILC
works directly with end users in qualifying the lamps utilizing indirect
distribution channels. In addition, ILC maintains a team of ten people to
provide sales and customer service support to its customer base and network of
foreign and domestic distributors.
A European sales office located at the facilities of Q-Arc in Cambridge,
England, sells and markets the complete line of lamp and equipment products and
provides local support for European customers. With the formation of a joint
venture in Japan, ILC has broadened its sales reach to Asia and established a
local presence for its Asian customers. Sales activities of the Company'
subsidiaries, Q-Arc, CPI and PLI, operate independently with overall
coordination handled by ILC corporate in Sunnyvale.

MARKETING AND SALES (CONTINUED)
For fiscal 1995, approximately 34.8% of the Company's net sales represented
international sales, primarily in the Pacific Rim and Europe. Information
regarding the Company's export sales and major customers is incorporated herein
by reference to Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
BACKLOG
As of September 30, 1995, ILC's backlog of unfilled orders was
approximately $33,767,000 as compared to approximately $27,730,000 at October 1,
1994. The Company includes in its backlog only orders which have been released
by the customer for shipment within the next 12 months. Due to the possibility
of customer changes in delivery schedules or cancellations of orders, backlog as
of any particular date may not be representative of actual sales for any
succeeding period.
MANUFACTURING
ILC's lamp groups have built substantial expertise in the fields of sealing
technology (ceramic-to- metal, quartz-to-metal, vacuum sealing), materials
research, plasma physics, electrical engineering, optoelectronics, and electrode
technology. With PLI, ILC obtained unique semi-automated manufacturing
capabilities required for high-volume, low-cost manufacturing. With CPI, ILC
obtained the essential power supply expertise necessary for providing OEMs with
integrated solutions. The manufacturing of most of the Company's lamp and power
supply products is labor and capital intensive, and accordingly, the labor force
is highly skilled and experienced with specialty equipment. The combination of
ILC's technical and manufacturing expertise enables ILC to dominate its selected
market niches for specialty lighting.
ILC designs, develops, and manufactures a majority of its products in two
facilities totalling 97,000 square feet. These adjoining buildings include lamp
development laboratories, separate manufacturing facilities for xenon and
krypton arc lamps, Cermax(R) lamps, Daymax(R) metal halide lamps, mercury short
arc ("stepper") lamps, mercury capillary lamps, Cermax(R) equipment and
Aerospace products. The Company also purchased, in October 1994, a facility in
Santa Clara, California totalling approximately 20,000 square feet to
accommodate stepper lamp manufacturing.
The need for more production capacity for the subsidiaries of ILC prompted
expansion of existing manufacturing facilities. Q-Arc Ltd purchased a new
facility of approximately 36,000 square feet in June 1994 and occupied the new
facility in early fiscal 1995. Q-Arc currently occupies approximately 25,000 of
the 36,000 square feet and is seeking a tenant to occupy the balance of the
space. The 10,000 square foot facility which Q-Arc previously occupied was
sublet to a third party. Converter Power, in late fiscal 1995, signed a lease
for a 32,000 square foot facility to satisfy the growing production requirements
of laser power supplies. CPI had previously occupied a 15,000 square foot
facility and is currently seeking a tenant to sublet the property which has one
year left on the lease. Precision Lamp occupies a 24,000 square foot facility in
Cotati, California for the automated manufacture of surface mounted miniature
incandescent lamps and LCD backlight panels. Precision Lamp moved into this
facility in fiscal 1993.
PLI received ISO9001 certification in fiscal 1994 and Q-Arc received
ISO9002 certification in fiscal 1995. ILC Sunnyvale has been recommended for
ISO9001 certification and management excepts CPI to be certified by late 1996.
ISO9001 certification ensures customers that ILC has a quality system that will
result in continuous product quality improvement. It is a recognition of a
commitment to quality throughout all sections of the organization.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company holds approximately 42 patents related to the key features of
several of its products and several applications are pending. While these
patents tend to enhance the Company's competitive position, management believes
that the Company's success depends primarily upon its proprietary technological,
engineering, production and marketing skills and the high quality of its
products. The names of two of the Company's products, Cermax(R) and Daymax(R)
are registered as trademarks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office
and in many other countries in which the Company's products are sold.
The Company's patents expire at various dates between 1996 and 2012. There
can be no assurance that any patents held by the Company will not be challenged
and invalidated, that patents will issue from any of the Company's pending
applications or that any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will be
of sufficient scope or strength or be issued in all countries where the
Company's products can be sold to provide meaningful protection or any
commercial advantage to the Company. Competitors of the Company also may be able
to design around the Company's patents.
COMPETITION
ILC competes on the basis of product performance, applications engineering,
customer service, reputation and price. The Company competes in many markets in
which technology develops and improves rapidly, stimulating ILC to enhance the
capability of its products and technologies. Competitors consist of both large
and small companies located in the United States, Japan and Europe. They include
EG&G Inc., Osram, Philips, Ushio, ORC Japan, Koto, Wolfram and GE. In many
market sequents, the competition has established the bench mark for product
acceptance at a very high level, causing ILC to continuously improve all phases
of its processes for customer satisfaction. The Company believes that by
exploiting segmented market areas in which ILC has technological, manufacturing
and marketing strengths, ILC can compete effectively. At the same time, by
focusing its product development and acquisition activities in these areas, the
Company can defend its strengths and maintain its leadership in selected
markets.
ENGINEERING AND RESEARCH
ILC's engineering, research, and development efforts consist of three main
activities. The first area of activity is extensive application engineering in
response to customer requirements. These activities result in customer specific
products and modifications to existing products to satisfy the needs of the
customers. The second area is that of joint engineering and development work
made in connection with customer production contracts. The third area includes
those projects funded by the Company to develop new products and technologies.
In 1995, the Company spent $4,497,000 for Company funded research and
development efforts. This is compared to $3,998,000 and $2,767,000 spent in
fiscal years 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's engineering and research
personnel are engineers and scientists, all of whom have technical degrees.
In fiscal 1995, a Corporate Technology Business Unit was formed to provide
ILC Sunnyvale with a focused research capability. This core competency will be
directed and managed to service generic challenges. This newly formed group will
also act as a focus of business opportunities that do not naturally fall within
the strategic plans of an existing product line. Initially, this group will
direct its efforts toward answering some basic questions regarding electrodes,
envelopes and material related processes.

<PAGE>
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 1995, the Company had 584 full-time employees,
comprised of 53 in research and engineering, 21 in marketing and sales, 466 in
manufacturing and 44 in general and administrative positions. ILC believes that
its future success depends upon its continued ability to recruit and maintain
highly skilled employees in all disciplines. Although competition for qualified
personnel is strong, ILC has been successful in attracting and retaining skilled
employees. None of the Company's employees is represented by a labor union. The
Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company owns and leases an aggregate of approximately 153,000 and
56,000 square feet, respectively, of office and manufacturing space in six
separate buildings in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Cotati, California; Beverly,
Massachusetts; and Cambridge, England. In Sunnyvale, the Company owns 97,000
square feet in two adjacent buildings. These buildings were constructed by the
Company in 1977 and 1979, sold in 1982 and leased back from the new owners, and
re-purchased from the landlord in August 1993. The Company leases to one tenant
approximately 5,000 square feet of its space in Sunnyvale under a lease which
expires in March 1996. In early October 1994, the Company purchased 20,000
square feet of office and manufacturing space in Santa Clara, California. In
June 1994, the Company purchased 36,000 square feet of office and manufacturing
space in Cambridge, England. Q-Arc currently occupies approximately 25,000
square feet and is currently seeking a tenant to lease the balance of the space.
Q-Arc previously leased a 10,000 square foot facility, which has been sublet to
a third party. Precision Lamp moved into a new facility in July 1993. The lease
for the 24,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space, located in Cotati,
California, expires in 2003. Finally, Converter Power, in late fiscal 1995,
entered into a lease to occupy approximately 32,000 square feet of office and
manufacturing space in Beverly, Massachusetts. This lease expires in September
2000. Converter Power will begin to move into the new facility in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. CPI previously occupied a 15,000 square foot facility in
Ipswich, Massachusetts, under a lease that expires in December 1996. The Company
is currently seeking a tenant to sublet the property. For a discussion of the
Company's lease commitments, see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements appearing elsewhere herein.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company derived approximately 34%,
44% and 45%, respectively, of its net sales from the medical market. During
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's sales in the industrial market
accounted for 40%, 44% and 38%, respectively, of net sales. In each of the
fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's sales in the aerospace market
accounted for 7% of net sales. Products sold in the medical market are
incorporated into products sold into the health-care and health-care related
industries. These industries have recently been subject to significant
fluctuations in demand which in turn have affected the demand for components
used in these products. The Company expects sales to the medical market to
continue to decrease as a percentage of net sales for the foreseeable future.
Aerospace sales have remained relatively constant over the last two fiscal
years. Due to the continuing slowdown in military and defense spending, the
Company does not expect aerospace sales to grow significantly from fiscal 1995
and 1994 levels. To compensate for this slowdown, the Company began new product
development activities in fiscal 1995 and 1994 for commercial applications for
metal halide lamps used for projection and information display.
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994
Net sales for fiscal 1995 were $58,429,000, an increase of 12.3% over
fiscal 1994 net sales of $52,022,000. The $6,407,000 increase was primarily
attributable to a $4 million sales increase at Converter Power and a $1 million
9
<PAGE>
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994 (CONTINUED)
sales increase at both Precision Lamp and Q-Arc. Although total net sales
at ILC Technology remained unchanged between the two fiscal years, Cermax and
related equipment sales decreased approximately $2.4 million, due to a softness
in the medical market as discussed above. Flash and Quartz lamp sales increased
$1 million and Advanced Lighting sales increased $1.4 million. In the second
quarter of fiscal 1994, Precision Lamp experienced a significant shortfall in
orders from a major customer. Due to this slowdown, sales to this customer are
expected to be significantly lower than previously anticipated. (See Note 11 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). During fiscal 1995, sales to this
major customer were slightly above the fiscal 1994 sales level. The $1 million
Precision Lamp revenue increase discussed above was primarily the result of new
product sales.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 67.1% for fiscal 1995
compared to 67.8% for fiscal 1994. The fiscal 1994 percentage was negatively
impacted due to the write off of approximately $500,000 of excess Precision Lamp
inventory relating to the slowdown in the release of shippable product from a
major customer as discussed above. The ratio of the inventory reserve to year
end inventory in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 18.0%, 20.9% and 17.5%,
respectively. The fiscal year 1994 ratio excludes the above mentioned $500,000
reserve addition.
Research and development expenses, 7.7% of net sales in both fiscal 1995
and 1994, increased $499,000 between the two fiscal years. The majority of the
increase was concentrated in the Quartz stepper lamp product.
Marketing expenses, 5.1% of net sales in fiscal 1995 compared to 4.4% of
net sales in fiscal 1994, increased $705,000. The increase between the two
fiscal years was primarily due to the addition of personnel, more travel and
trade show attendance and additional commission expense on an increased sales
volume.
As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 8.7% in
fiscal 1995 and 10.0% in fiscal 1994. The $139,000 decrease was due to the
accrual in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 for early exit incentives for
various long time ILC employees ($500,000) and the write off of a note
receivable, doubtful of collection ($250,000). This decrease was partially
offset by expenses incurred by Q-Arc in its move to a larger manufacturing
facility and by personnel additions and other expenses at Converter Power,
totalling approximately $600,000, in fiscal 1995.
Amortization of intangibles of $290,000 in fiscal 1995 represents the
amortization of covenants-not-to-compete arising from the acquisitions of
Precision Lamp in 1992 and Q-Arc in 1991. The amortization of intangibles of
$3,765,000 in fiscal 1994 includes a $3,400,000 write down of intangibles
generated from the acquisition of Precision Lamp. As discussed below, Precision
Lamp experienced a significant shortfall in orders from a major customer in the
second quarter of fiscal 1994. In assessing the recoverability of the
unamortized goodwill and covenant-not-to-compete generated from the acquisition,
management determined that an impairment occurred and recorded a $3.4 million
charge.
Interest income was $313,000 in fiscal 1995, which amount included
approximately $235,000 of interest income from an income tax refund in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995. Interest income in fiscal 1994 was $200,000. Interest
expense, $696,000 in fiscal 1995 as compared to $339,000 in fiscal 1994,
increased $357,000 between the two fiscal years. The increase was due to
additional borrowings on the Company's line of credit and equipment purchases.

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994 (CONTINUED)
The Company reported income from operations before provision for income
taxes of $5,978,000 in fiscal 1995 compared to $1,343,000 in fiscal 1994. The
fiscal 1995 provision for income taxes, exclusive of an income tax refund of
$238,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995, was 28% of pretax income before
provision for income taxes. This compares with a fiscal 1994 provision for
income taxes of approximately 31% of pretax income before provision for income
taxes, which provision is exclusive of the effect related to the non-deductible
portion of the write down of intangibles discussed above.
The Company believes that inflation and changing prices had no significant
impact on sales or costs during fiscal 1995 and 1994.
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993
Net sales remained relatively constant at $52,022,000 and $51,997,000 in
fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively. Although the total net sales were unchanged,
Cermax(R) and related equipment sales decreased approximately $2 million, Flash
and Quartz lamp sales increased approximately $1 million and Converter Power
sales increased approximately $3 million between the two fiscal years.
Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, Precision Lamp experienced a
significant shortfall in orders from a major customer. This slowdown resulted in
lower sales of approximately $2 million in fiscal 1994 as compared to fiscal
1993. Sales to this customer are now expected to be significantly lower than
previously anticipated. (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 67.8% for fiscal 1994
compared to 67.0% for fiscal 1993. The percentage increase was primarily due to
the write off of approximately $500,000 related to excess Precision Lamp
inventory caused by a slowdown in the release of shippable product from a major
customer discussed above. The ratio of the inventory reserve to year end
inventory in fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992 was 20.9%, 17.5% and 22.8%,
respectively. The fiscal 1994 ratio excludes the above mentioned $500,000
reserve addition.
Spending in the area of research and development, 7.7% of net sales in
fiscal 1994, compared to 5.3% of net sales in fiscal 1993, increased $1,231,000
between the two fiscal years. The increase occurred in Cermax(R) for the
development of lamps for video projection, in Quartz lamps for the development
of the stepper lamp and in Advanced Lighting for the design and development of
lamps used for entertainment applications. Also contributing to the increase was
spending at Precision Lamp for the development of panels to light the entire
rear of a liquid crystal display and spending at Converter Power for the design
of new power supplies.
Marketing expenses were $2,271,000, or 4.4% of net sales in fiscal 1994
compared to $2,642,000, or 5.1% of net sales in fiscal 1993. The $371,000
decrease between the two fiscal years was due primarily to less travel and trade
show attendance coupled with less commission expense associated with lower sales
at Precision Lamp caused by the slowdown in the release of shippable product
from a major Precision Lamp customer.
General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were
10.0% in fiscal 1994 compared to 7.6% in fiscal 1993. The $1,282,000 increase
between the two periods was due to a combination of the accrual for early exit
incentives for various long-time ILC employees, the write off of a note
receivable, doubtful of collection, which arose from the United Detector
Technology divestiture in 1990 and increases to general and administrative
expenses at Converter Power and Q- Arc. This increase was partially offset by
the suspension of contributions to the ILC profit sharing plan for the first six
months of fiscal 1994.

FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993 (CONTINUED)
Amortization of intangibles of $3,765,000 in fiscal 1994 includes a
$3,400,000 write down of intangibles generated from the acquisition of Precision
Lamp in June 1992. As discussed above, Precision Lamp experienced a significant
shortfall in orders from a major customer in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
In assessing the recoverability of the unamortized goodwill and covenant-not-to-
compete generated from the acquisition, management determined that an impairment
occurred in that quarter. Total sales and earnings of Precision Lamp for the
period March 1994 to March 2002 as projected at the time of the intangible
impairment calculation were approximately 50% and 70% lower than sales and
earnings estimates, respectively, at the time of the Precision Lamp acquisition.
These projections represent management's best estimate for future results for
that subsidiary. Precision Lamp is actively seeking to solicit other customers
and alter its products to meet their specifications for the surface mounted
miniature incandescent lamp. However, because of the major customer's dominance
of its market, and because other manufacturers are numerous and small volume,
the Company believes that Precision Lamp will be unable to secure new customers
to make up for the significant shortfall in orders. Accordingly, a $3.4 million
charge was recorded to write down the intangibles to net realizable value. The
writedown was determined based on the currently projected un-discounted cash
flows of Precision Lamp from March 1994 to March 2002, which projected aggregate
cash flows of approximately $900,000 over that period which was based on
projected net income which averaged 9% higher than the net income projection for
fiscal 1994 (with no loss years included in the projection), compared with the
carrying value of the Company's investment in Precision Lamp, including
goodwill, at the date of the writedown. At October 1, 1994, there were net
assets associated with the Precision Lamp acquisition of approximately
$2,270,000, or approximately 5% of total assets, for which recoverability is
primarily dependent upon sales to the major customer discussed above. The
amortization of intangibles of $757,000 in fiscal 1993 represents the
amortization of covenants-not-to- compete plus the amortization of goodwill both
arising from the acquisitions of Precision Lamp in 1992 and Q-Arc in 1991.
Although interest income remained constant between fiscal 1994 and fiscal
1993, interest expense increased by approximately $261,000 during the same
period due to the term loan obtained to purchase the Company's two operating
facilities in Sunnyvale, California in August 1993 and the manufacturing
facility in Cambridge, England in June 1994.
The Company reported income before provision for income taxes of $1,343,000
in fiscal 1994 compared to $7,111,000 in fiscal 1993. The provision for income
taxes, exclusive of the effect related to the non-deductible portion of the
write down of intangibles discussed above, was approximately 31.0% of pretax
income before provision for income taxes in fiscal 1994 compared to 33.1% in
fiscal 1993.
The Company believes that inflation and changing prices had no significant
impact on sales or costs during fiscal 1994 and 1993.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $1,509,000 in fiscal 1995 from
$2,462,000 in fiscal 1994. Cash provided from operations amounted to $3,449,000
in fiscal 1995, a decrease of $3,226,000 from $6,675,000 in fiscal 1994. This
decrease occurred primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of
$2,767,000 and an increase in inventories of $2,304,000. During fiscal 1995, the
Company used cash of $1,745,000 to purchase land and a new manufacturing
facility in Santa Clara, California and made capital equipment acquisitions of
$3,419,000. In fiscal 1995, the Company increased its net borrowings under its
line of credit by $2,000,000, increased its net borrowings under
12
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION (CONTINUED)
an equipment line by $670,000 and paid down a term loan by $1,578,000. In fiscal
1994, the Company used cash of $2,701,000 to purchase a new office and
manufacturing facility in Cambridge, England, deposited $1,300,000 for the
purchase of land and a manufacturing facility in Santa Clara, California and
paid $312,000 for land in Cotati, California. Capital equipment acquisitions in
fiscal 1994 amounted to $2,634,000. In fiscal 1994, the Company increased its
net borrowings under a term loan for real estate acquisitions by $800,000 and
increased the net borrowings under an equipment line by $591,000. In addition,
in fiscal 1994, the Company also repurchased, on the open market, 204,000 shares
of its common stock for $1,556,000. In fiscal 1993, the Company used cash of
$7,600,000 to purchase its manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in
Sunnyvale, California. Also in fiscal 1993, the Company used cash of $1,467,000
for capital equipment acquisitions and borrowed $5,000,000 under a term loan to
finance the purchase of the above mentioned facilities in Sunnyvale, California.
The Company has working capital of $11,066,000 and a current ratio of 1.94
to 1.0 at September 30, 1995. This compares with working capital of $9,428,000
and a current ratio of 1.79 to 1.0 at October 1, 1994. As of September 30, 1995,
the Company has $2,000,000 unused on a $4,000,000 bank line of credit with
interest at 2% above the LIBOR rate (London Interbank Offer Rate) (7.8% at
September 30, 1995). The Company also has available approximately $690,000
remaining on a $1,500,000 equipment credit facility at the above interest rate.
This credit facility can be increased to accomodate the capital equipment needs
of the Company. In fiscal 1996, ILC anticipates making capital expenditures of
approximately $3 million. These financial resources, together with anticipated
additional resources to be provided from operations, are expected to be adequate
to meet the Company's working capital needs, capital equipment requirements and
debt service obligations at least through fiscal 1996.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company is not required to adopt the provisions of this
statement until its fiscal year 1996. The provisions of this statement must be
made on a prospective basis. The Company plans to adopt the disclosure
provisions of this statement in 1996, and theefore the effect on its financial
position and results of operations, upon adoption, will not be significant.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The Company will
adopt the provision of this statement in fiscal 1996 and believes the effect on
its financial position and result of operations, upon adoption, will not be
significant.

ILC TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
1. THE COMPANY
ILC Technology, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on September 15,
1967. The Company designs, develops and manufactures high intensity lamps and
lighting products for medical, industrial, communication, aerospace, scientific,
entertainment and military industries. The Company develops and manufactures the
majority of its products at its headquarter facilities in California and the
remainder at its subsidiary facilities in Massachusetts, the United Kingdom and
another location in California.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements include the accounts of ILC Technology, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
The Company's fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to September 30.
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
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at
the time of issue to be cash equivalents.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Effective October 3, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting For Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities". The adoption of this statement did not
materially impact the Company's results from operations or financial position.
Marketable securities at October 1, 1994 were being accounted for as trading
securities and were therefore valued at fair market value in the accompanying
balance sheet. The change in the net unrealized holding loss, which was included
in fiscal 1994 income, was approximately $80,000 during fiscal 1994. During
fiscal 1995, all marketable securities were liquidated.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market, and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories at
September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, net of inventory reserves of $2,042,813
and $2,533,233, respectively, consisted of:
1995 1994

Raw materials .................... $4,846,508 $ 3,393,249
Work-in-process................... 2,609,006 2,556,006
Finished goods ................... 1,833,693 1,242,942
---------- -----------
Total inventories................. $9,289,207 $ 7,192,197
========== ===========
DEVELOPMENTAL AND MANUFACTURING CONTRACTS
The Company contracts with the U.S. Government and other customers for the
development and manufacturing of various products under both cost-plus-fixed-fee
and fixed-price contracts. Revenues are recognized under these contracts using
the percentage of completion method, whereby revenues are reported in the
proportion that costs incurred bear to the total estimated costs for each
contract. Periodic reviews of estimated total costs during the performance of
such contracts may result in revisions of contract estimates in subsequent
periods. Any loss contracts are reserved at the time such losses are determined.
Revenues from these contracts were less than 10% of net revenues during 1995,
1994 and 1993.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are provided on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 3 to 31.5 years, except for
leasehold improvements which are amortized over the terms of the leases.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares and common equivalent shares (using the treasury stock method and
when such equivalents have a dilutive effect) outstanding during the period.
Fully diluted net income per share is not significantly different from net
income per share as reported.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company is not required to adopt the provisions of this
statement until its fiscal year 1996. The provisions of this statement must be
made on a prospective basis. The Company plans to adopt the disclosure
provisions of this statement in 1996, and theefore the effect on its financial
position and results of operations, upon adoption, will not be significant.

<PAGE>
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company has certain intangible assets as a result of its acquisition of
two subsidiaries (see Note 10). Subsequent to these acquisitions, the Company
continually evaluates whether later events and circumstances have occurred that
indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of these intangibles may warrant
revision or that the remaining balances of intangibles may not be recoverable.
When factors indicate that intangibles should be evaluated for possible
impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related subsidiary's
undiscounted cash flow over the remaining life of the intangibles in measuring
whether the intangibles are recoverable.
Covenants-not-to-compete are amortized over the period of the covenant.
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In February 1995, the Company invested $450,000 in a lamp manufacturer
located in Japan. The Company's investment represents a 49% ownership interest
in the equity of the investee, consequently the Company accounts for its
investment using the equity method of accounting. The Company's investment is
included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and its
proportionate interest in the income of the investee of $89,000 in fiscal 1995
is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce its exposure
to currency exchange risk for purchases from one Japanese vendor. The effect of
this practice is to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on
the Company's operating results. The Company's hedging activities do not subject
the Company to exchange rate risk, as gains and losses on these contracts offset
losses and gains on the liabilities being hedged.
At September 30, 1995, the Company had forward exchange contracts maturing
from October 1995 to December 1995 to purchase 22,200,000 Japanese yen
($224,000).
3. REVENUES
The Company recognizes revenue on all product sales upon shipment of the
product. The Company accrues for estimated warranty obligations at the time of
the sale of the related product based upon its past history of claims experience
and costs to discharge its obligations.
The Company operates in a single industry segment, the designing,
developing, manufacturing and marketing of high performance light source
products. Revenues are geographically summarized as follows (in thousands):
1995 1994 1993
----------- ------------ ------------
United States ................... $ 38,080 $ 31,627 $ 29,994
Europe .......................... 6,062 4,435 5,188
Asia ............................ 14,239 15,794 16,447
Other international ............. 48 166 368
----------- ------------ ------------
Total revenues ...... $ 58,429 $ 52,022 $ 51,997
=========== ============ ============

<PAGE>
3. REVENUES (CONTINUED)
Customers comprising more than 10% of net sales are as follows:
1995 1994 1993
----------- ------------ ------------
Customer A ............... 10.3% 17.6% 19%
Customer B ............... 12.1% 12.8% 17%
Customer C ............... 10.3% * *
*less than 10% of net sales
The Company provides credit in the form of trade accounts receivable to its
customers. The Company does not generally require collateral to support customer
receivables. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
and maintains allowances which management believes are adequate for potential
credit losses.
Approximately 34% of the Company's sales in fiscal 1995 were to customers
in the health-care industry. This industry has experienced significant
fluctuations in demand and the Company expects sales to the medical market to
decrease as a percentage of net sales in the forseeable future. Customer C,
referred to above, is in the semi-conducto industry. This industry also can be
subject to significant fluctuations in demand.
4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment at September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 consisted
of:
Property and equipment, at cost:
Machinery and equipment ................ $15,706,092 $11,856,023

=========== ===========
5. BANK BORROWINGS
The Company has a $4 million line of credit available with a bank which
expires in January 1997. Borrowings under this line are at 2% above the LIBOR
rate (London Interbank Offer Rate) (7.8% at September 30, 1995) and are limited
to 75% of eligible accounts receivable. Under the covenants of the loan
agreement, unless written approval from the bank is obtained, the Company is
restricted from entering into certain transactions and is required to maintain
certain specified financial covenants and profitability. As of September 30,
1995, the Company was in compliance with all bank requirements.
The average balance outstanding (based on month-end balances) under the
line of credit in 1995 was $1,550,000. The maximum borrowings were $2,450,000 at
an average interest rate of 7.8% for 1995. There were no borrowings under the
line of credit in fiscal 1994, nor were there any amounts outstanding as of
October 1, 1994. As of September 30, 1995, $2 million was available for future
borrowings under this line of credit.
24
<PAGE>
5. BANK BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)
In addition, in connection with the purchase of its Sunnyvale manufacturing
facilities, the Company entered into a term note with a bank for $5,000,000 in
1993, which was subsequently increased to $6,333,333 in 1994. The note matures
in August, 1998. The term loan requires monthly principal payments equal to
one-forty-eighth of the principal amount plus interest at 2% above the LIBOR
rate (London Interbank Offer Rate) (7.8% at September 30, 1995). The term loan
is a reducing revolving credit facility which allows for principal pre-payments
and the flexibility for re-borrowing up to the maximum amount that would be
outstanding under the term loan given normal amortization to the date of
re-borrowing.
The Company also has available a $1.5 million equipment line of credit for
100% of the purchase cost of new equipment, which expires in January 1996.
Borrowings under this line bear interest at 2% above the LIBOR rate (7.8% at
September 30, 1995), with principal balances amortized over a 2 year period. At
September 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $690,000 available for future
borrowings under this line of credit.
As of September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, borrowings outstanding under
its credit facilities consisted of:
1995 1994
----------- -----------
Term note ............................. $ 4,222,000 $ 5,800,000
Line of credit ........................ 2,000,000 -

Aggregate maturities for long-term debt during the next five years are
approximately: 1996 - $2,455,500, 1997 - $2,455,500, 1998 - $1,450,000, 1999
none and 2000 - none.
All of the above credit facilities are secured by all of the property of
the Company.
6. INCOME TAXES
Effective October 3, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", on a prospective basis. SFAS No. 109
requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. The
adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Income before provision for income taxes consists of the following for
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993:
1995 1994 1993

7. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN
On January 1, 1984, the Company adopted a thrift incentive savings plan
(the "Plan"). The Plan is qualified under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code and is available to all full-time employees with one or more years of
employment with the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, participating
employees must contribute at least 2% of their salary to the Plan, and the
Company contributes (as a matching contribution) 100% of this amount. Employees
may also contribute an additional amount up to 13% of their salary to the Plan,
with no further contributions by the Company. The Company's contributions vest
at a rate of 20% per year, commencing on the first anniversary of employment.
Total employer matching contributions under the Plan were $212,000, $163,000,
and $145,000 for the fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In October 1994, Q-Arc Ltd. purchased a new office and manufacturing
facility in Cambridge, England. Prior to this, Q-Arc had leased its
manufacturing facility under an operating lease agreement, which lease agreement
has been assumed by another company.
In August 1993, the Company purchased two buildings, which were its two
principal operating facilities in Sunnyvale, California, from the landlord for
$7,600,000. The Company has leased a small portion of the Sunnyvale facility
under a lease which expires in 1996.
At September 30, 1995, the future minimum rental payments under all
building leases for fiscal 1996 through 2000 are approximately $380,000,
$423,000, $424,000, $444,000 and $444,000, respectively, and $660,000
thereafter. The amounts total $2,775,000.
For fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, rental expense was approximately
$277,000, $318,000 and $934,000 respectively.
9. STOCK OPTION AND PURCHASE PLANS
In 1993, the Company adopted the 1992 Stock Option Plan and reserved
200,000 shares for issuance. The 1992 Option Plan replaced the 1983 Option Plan
which expired in June 1993. Although options granted under the 1983 Stock Option
Plan before such expiration will remain outstanding in accordance with their
terms, no further options will be granted under the 1983 Stock Option Plan after
June 1993. The exercise price per share for stock options cannot be less than
the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted are for a ten-year
term and generally vest ratably over a period of four years commencing one year
after the date of grant. In November 1993, the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan
was amended to provide for the automatic grant of a nonstatutory stock option to
purchase shares of Common Stock to each outside Director. Subsequent grants will
occur annually during the Company's third fiscal quarter. During fiscal 1995,
each outside Director was granted an automatic option to purchase a total of
5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. A summary of the option transactions
is as follows:

In February 1985, the Company adopted an employee stock purchase plan.
Under the plan, the Company has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock for
issuance to participating employees who have met certain eligibility
requirements. In 1994, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved an
amendment to the employee stock purchase plan to increase the number of shares
reserved for issuance from 200,000 to 300,000 shares. The number of shares
available for purchase by each participant is based upon annual base earnings
and at a purchase price equal to 85% of the fair market value at the beginning
or the end of the quarter of purchase, whichever is lower. During fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993, a total of 37,973, 25,475 and 14,281 shares of common stock
respectively, were purchased by the Company employees under the plan. As of
September 30, 1995, 95,797 shares were available for future purchase.
If all options outstanding at September 30, 1995 were exercised, the total
proceeds to the Company wuld be approximately $4 million (unaudited).

11. ACQUISITIONS
In August 1991, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Q-Arc
Ltd. of Cambridge, England for $1,400,000 in cash and the assumption of certain
liabilities. Q-Arc is a manufacturer of specialty lamps for laser and non- laser
applications. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly,
all assets were revalued to their respective fair values. The acquisition price
was equal to the fair value of net assets acquired. Net assets included a
covenant-not-to-compete of approximately $951,000. The covenant is being
amortized over an eight year period. At September 30, 1995, the unamortized
balance of the Q-Arc covenant-not-to-compete is approximately $476,000.
On June 30, 1992, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Precision Lamp, Inc. located in Cotati, California. Precision Lamp designs,
manufactures and distributes miniature incandescent lamps for various
applications. The Company paid approximately $2,000,000 in cash for all of the
outstanding shares, agreed to pay off approximately $1,100,000 of bank debt and
assumed all liabilities ($1,321,000) of Precision Lamp. The Company also agreed
to pay at least $2,600,000 to the primary selling shareholder as consideration
for a covenant-not-to-compete among the primary selling shareholder, Precision
Lamp and ILC. These payments will be made in equal installments through 1997.
This transaction was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, all assets
were revalued to their respective fair values. This purchase price allocation
resulted in goodwill of approximately $2,650,000 which is being amortized over a
ten year period. The $2,600,000 covenant- not-to-compete is being amortized over
a seven year period.
In the second quarter of fiscal 1994, management determined that an
impairment occurred in the recoverability of the unamortized goodwill and
covenant-not-to-compete due to a significant shortfall in orders from a major
Precision Lamp customer. Accordingly, a $3.4 million charge was recorded to
write off the intangibles to net realizable value. The writedown was determined
based on the currently projected undiscounted cash flows of Precision Lamp from
March 1994 to March 2004, which projected aggregate cash flows of approximately
$900,000 (unaudited) over that period and was based on projected net income
which averaged 9% higher than the net income projection for fiscal 1994 (with no
loss years included in the projection), compared with the carrying value of the
Company's investment in Precision Lamp, including goodwill, at the date of the
writedown. These projections represented management's best estimate for future
results for that subsidiary. At September 30, 1995, the unamortized balance of
the Precision Lamp covenant-not-to-compete is approximately $641,000.

12. RIGHTS AGREEMENT
On September 19, 1989, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend
of one common share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock,
no par value, of the Company. The dividend was payable on October 2, 1989 to the
shareholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder
to purchase from the Company one share of common stock of the Company at a price
of $30.00 per common share. The rights will not be exercisable until a party
either acquires beneficial ownership of 20% of the Company's common stock or
makes a tender offer for at least 30% of its common stock. In the event the
rights become exercisable and thereafter a person or group acquires 30% or more
of the Company's stock, a 20% shareholder ("Acquiring Person") engages in any
specified self-dealing transaction, or, as a result of a recapitalization or
reorganization, an Acquiring Person's shareholdings are increased by more than
3%, each right will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company, for the
exercise price, common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price
of the right. In the event the rights become exercisable and thereafter the
Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination, each right will
enable the holder to purchase from the surviving corporation, for the exercise
price, common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of the
right. At the Company's option, the rights are redeemable in their entirety,
prior to becoming exercisable, at $.01 per right. The rights are subject to
adjustment to prevent dilution and expire September 29, 1999.
13. REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK
In March 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To ILC Technology, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
ILC Technology, Inc. (a California Corporation) and subsidiaries as of September
30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended September 30, 1995. These financial statements and the schedule
referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule 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 consolidated financial position of
ILC Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and October 1,
1994 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule presented on page 31
is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. The
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of March 2,
1995 by and between ILC Technology, Inc., ("Borrower") and UNION BANK, a
California banking corporation ("Bank").
SECTION 1. THE LOAN
1.1.1 THE REVOLVING LOAN. Bank will loan to Borrower an amount not to
exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) outstanding in the aggregate at any one
time (the "Revolving Loan"). Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow all or part
of the Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Note. All
borrowings of the Revolving Loan must be made before January 31, 1997 at which
time all unpaid principal and interest of the Revolving Loan shall be due and
payable. The Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the
"Revolving Note") on the standard form used by Bank for commercial loans. Bank
shall enter each amount borrowed and repaid in Bank's records and such entries
shall be deemed to be the amount of the Revolving Loan outstanding. Omission of
Bank to make any such entries shall not discharge Borrower of its obligation to
repay in full with interest all amounts borrowed.
1.1.2 REVOLVING EQUIPMENT LOAN. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
between the date of the Agreement and January 31, 1996 (the "Revolving Equipment
Loan Termination Date"), so long as no Default or Potential Default has occurred
and is continuing, Bank shall extend to Borrower such loan ("Revolving Equipment
Loan") as Borrower may request from time to time in an aggregate unpaid
principal amount not exceeding at any one time One Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($1,500,000) (the "Revolving Equipment Credit Commitment"). Within the
limits of time and amount set forth in this Section 1.1.2, Borrower may borrow,
repay and reborrow all or part of the Revolving Equipment Loan. Borrower
authorized Bank to make Revolving Equipment Loan based upon telephonic notice or
upon such other instructions as Bank received from anyone purporting to be an
authorized representative of the Borrower, received within the time prior to the
Banking Day of the proposed Revolving Equipment Loan as set forth in the
Revolving Note, or, if not therein set forth, then by 10:00 a.m. of the Banking
Day of the proposed Revolving Equipment Loan. Such notice shall be given to any
of Bank's commercial banking officers at Bank's Commercial Portfolio
Administration Department ("Bank's Lending Office") and shall be irrevocable.
1.1.3 OTHER LOANS. Bank has extended and will continue to extend, subject
to the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Note, certain
additional facilities each evidenced by a Note described as follows:

written notice of any construction at or alterations to the site which may
adversely affect such Investigations and Remediation. Provided Tenant complies
with this Section 8.7, if the exercise of rights under Section 8.6 deprives
Tenant of the use of a material portion of the Premises for more than 5 days
after notice to Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of
rent until such use is restored.
SECTION 8.8. COOPERATION WITH AGENCIES. Tenant shall cooperate with
governmental agencies to the extent reasonably necessary for Varian to perform

SECTION 10.16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign,

suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other
rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred or encumbered, in
whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or
permit the occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge, grant of security interest, sublease or
other encumbrance, except with prior written approval thereof from Landlord
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall be void. No
assignment, transfer, mortgage, grant of security interest, sublease or other
encumbrance, whether or not approved, and no indulgence granted by Landlord to
any assignee or sublessee, shall in any way impair the continuing primary
liability (which after an assignment shall be joint and several with the
assignee) of Tenant hereunder, and no approval in a particular instance shall be
deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain Landlord's approval in any
other case.
Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent to a
proposed assignment or subletting if (a) the financial strength, net worth and
creditworthiness of the proposed assignee or sublessee are not at least equal to
that of the existing Tenant both at the time of the proposed assignment or
subletting and at the date hereof; (b) the business reputation of the proposed
assignee or sublessee is not in accordance with generally accepted commercial
standards or is not at least equal to that of the existing Tenant, both at the
time of the proposed assignment and at the date hereof; (c) the gross revenues
reasonably anticipated to be received from the conduct of business on the
Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee are not at least equal to that of
the existing Tenant both at the time of the proposed assignment or subletting
and as of the date hereof; (d) the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee
or subtenant will violate or create any potential violation of Applicable Law;
and (e) the use of the Premises will violate any other agreements affecting the
Premises, the Building, the Site or Landlord. In connection with any proposed
assignment or subletting, Tenant shall provide to landlord such financial and
other information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee as Landlord may
reasonably request.
If for any assignment or sublease Tenant shall receive rent or other
consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease,
in excess of the rent called for hereunder (or in the case of the sublease of
part, in excess of such rent allocable to the part) after appropriate
adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken
into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, ninety percent
(90%) of such excess of such payment of rent or other consideration received by
Tenant, promptly after its receipt.
For the purposes of this Section 10.16, the term "assign" shall be deemed
to include any one or more sales, pledges or other transfers of (i) any of
capital stock of any class of Tenant, (ii) ten percent (10%) or more of the
capital assets or income interest in Converter Power Inc. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord's consent to any assignment
or sublease shall be conditioned upon the consent thereto from any and all
Lenders.
-16-
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required (i)
for a sublease or assignment to any entity controlled by, controlling or under
common control with Tenant, or (ii) for an assignment to any entity which is a
successor to Tenant by virtue of the acquisition of all or substantially all of
the assets or voting shares of Tenant, provided that in all cases under clauses
(i) and (ii) above no assignment or subletting shall affect the continuing
primary liability of Tenant (which following assignment shall be joint and
several with the assignee), and provided further that Tenant's right of
assignment under clause (ii) above shall be conditioned upon Landlord's written
acknowledgment, which it shall not unreasonably withhold, that it has received
from Tenant, at least 15 days prior to any proposed assignment pursuant to
clause (ii), evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the net worth of the
successor is and will be immediately after such assignment equal to or greater
than the net worth of Tenant as of the date of such notice.
SECTION 10.17. OVERLOADING AND NUISANCE. Tenant shall not injure, overload,
deface or otherwise harm the Premises, commit any nuisance, permit the emission
of any objectionable noise, vibration or odor, make, allow or suffer any waste
or make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or contrary to any
law or ordinance or which will invalidate any of Landlord's insurance.
SECTION 10.18. SIGNS. Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed any
sign on the Premises, the Building or the Site without the prior written
approval of Landlord, which approval shall include approval of the style, size
and design of the sign, but shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant may only place signs in the locations designated on
Exhibit A. All such signs shall comply with any and all applicable laws,
regulations and restrictions and shall be the sole cost and responsibility of
Tenant. Landlord may require their removal at Tenant's sole cost and expense
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall not place
or permit to be placed any other notices or advertisements on the Premises, the
Building or the Site.
SECTION 10.19. MAINTENANCE. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9 and
11, Tenant shall keep and maintain the Premises and all glass in windows in good

SECTION 11.1. TERMINATION. In the event that greater than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Premises shall be taken by any public authority or for any
public use or destroyed by the action of any public authority (a "Taking") then
this Lease may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant effective on the
effective date of the Taking. In the event that the Premises shall be destroyed
or damaged by fire or casualty (a "Casualty"), Tenant shall immediately give
notice thereof to Landlord and within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
notice, Landlord shall determine whether it will require in excess of one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Casualty to restore the Premises.
If Landlord determines it will require in excess of one hundred eighty (180)
days from the date of the casualty to restore the Premises, this Lease may be
terminated by
- -17-
<PAGE>
either Landlord or Tenant by notice to the other within forty-five (45) days
after the casualty. In the case of a Taking such election, which may be made
notwithstanding the fact that Landlord's entire interest may have been divested,
shall be made by the giving of notice by Landlord or Tenant to the other within
thirty (30) days after Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall receive
notice of the Taking.
SECTION 11.2. RESTORATION. In the event of a Taking or a Casualty, if
neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises the election to terminate provided in
Section 11.1, this Lease shall continue in force and a just proportion of the
Fixed Rent and other charges hereunder, according to the nature and extent of
the damages sustained by the Premises shall be abated until the Premises, or
what may remain thereof, shall be put by Landlord in proper condition for use
subject to zoning and building laws or ordinances then in existence, which,
unless Landlord or Tenant has exercised its option to terminate pursuant to
Section 11.1, Landlord covenants to do with reasonable diligence at Landlord's
expense. Landlord's obligations with respect to restoration shall not require
Landlord to expend more than the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages
awarded for such Casualty or Taking and made available for restoration by
Landlord's mortgagees. "Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded"
refers to the gross amount of such insurance or damages less the reasonable
expenses of Landlord in connection with the collection of the same, including
without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services.
SECTION 11.3. AWARD. Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had
by law, all rights to damages or compensation from a Taking shall belong to
Landlord in all cases. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant's rights
to such damages and compensation and covenants to deliver such further
assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request and Tenant agrees
to reasonably cooperate with Landlord in pursuing such claims. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant may pursue any claim(s) to which it may be entitled
against a taking authority for reimbursement of relocation expenses, personal
property and trade fixtures.
SECTION 12
DEFAULT
SECTION 12.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any one or more of the following events
(individually, an "Event of Default") shall occur:
(a) if Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations
to pay the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum payable
hereunder and if such default shall continue for ten (10) days after
notice to Tenant;
(b) if Tenant shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant,
condition or warranty of this Lease, other than as specified in
subsections (c) through (g) below, and such failure is not cured by
Tenant within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of
notice thereof from Landlord, unless such failure cannot with due
-18-
<PAGE>
diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which
case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Tenant
proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure and
diligently completes the curing thereof within a period of one
hundred twenty (120) days after such notice; or
(c) if any assignment for the benefit of creditors shall be made by
Tenant;
(d) if Tenant's leasehold interest shall be taken on execution or
other process of law in any action against Tenant;
(e) if a lien or other involuntary encumbrance is filed against
Tenant's leasehold interest, and is not discharged, bonded off,
or otherwise secured against to the sole satisfaction of Landlord
within ninety (90) days thereafter;
(f) if a petition is filed by Tenant seeking appointment of a
receiver of Tenant (or of the whole or substantially all of its
property), or for liquidation, or for reorganization or an
arrangement or any other relief under any provision of the
federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of
the United States of America or any state thereof as then in
force and effect; or
(g) if an involuntary petition seeking the relief described in
Section 12.1
(f) is filed against Tenant and such involuntary petition is not
dismissed within ninety (90) days thereafter,
then, and in any of such cases, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord
lawfully may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any
preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter and without
demand or notice and with or without process of law (forcibly, if necessary)
enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole,
or mail a notice of termination addressed to Tenant, and repossess the same as
of Landlord's former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under
Tenant and remove its and their effect without being deemed guilty of any manner
of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used
for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenant, and upon such entry or mailing
as aforesaid this Lease shall terminate, Tenant hereby waiving all statutory
rights (including, without limitation, rights of redemption, if any) to the
extent such rights may be lawfully waived. Landlord, without notice to Tenant,
may store Tenant's effects, and those of any person claiming through or under
Tenant at the expense and risk of Tenant, and, if Landlord so elects, may sell
such effects at public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the
payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant, if any, and pay over the
balance, if any, to Tenant.
SECTION 12.2. Remedies. In the event that this Lease is terminated under
any of the provisions contained in Section 12.1, Tenant shall pay forthwith to
Landlord, as compensation, the excess of the total rent reserved for the residue
of the Term over the fair market rental value of the Premises for the residue of
the term, such excess to be discounted to present value at the then current
Federal Reserve Bank discount rate. In calculating the rent reserved there shall
be included, in addition to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, the value of all
other considerations agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant during the
residue. As additional and cumulative obligations after any such termination,
Tenant shall also pay punctually to Landlord all the
-19-
<PAGE>
sums and shall perform all the obligations which Tenant covenants in this Lease
to pay and to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same
time as if this Lease had not been terminated. In calculating the amounts to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be credited with
any amount paid to Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 12.2
and also with the net proceeds of any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the
Premises, after deducting all Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with
such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage
commissions, fees for legal services and expenses of preparing the Premises for
such reletting, it being agreed by Tenant that Landlord may (i) relet the
Premises or any part or parts thereof for a term or terms which may at
Landlord's option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the term hereof and may grant such
concessions and free rent as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers
advisable or necessary to relet the same and (ii) make such alterations, repairs
and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers
advisable or necessary to relet the same, and no action of Landlord in
accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under
reletting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant's liability
as aforesaid.
SECTION 12.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease
and at law and equity shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent
with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be
exercised at the same time to the greatest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 12.4. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. At any time following ten
(10) days' prior notice to Tenant (except in cases of emergency when no notice
shall be required), Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease, and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in
curing a default shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent on
demand, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 12.7 from
the date of payment by Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant.
SECTION 12.5. EFFECT OF WAIVERS OF DEFAULT. Any consent or permission by
Landlord to any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any
covenant or condition herein, or any waiver by Landlord of the breach of any
covenant or condition herein, shall not in any way be held or construed (unless
expressly so declared) to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of
any covenant or condition herein, or otherwise operate to permit the same or
similar acts or omissions except as to the specific instance. The failure of
Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict
performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a
waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have
originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an
original violation. The receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach
of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such
breach by Landlord or of any of Landlord's remedies on account thereof,
including its right of termination for such default.
SECTION 12.6. NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No acceptance by Landlord of a
lesser sum than the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due
-20-
<PAGE>
shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such
rent or charge due, unless Landlord elects by notice to Tenant to credit such
sum against the most recent installment due. An endorsement or statement on any
check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge
shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such
check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of
such installment or pursue any other remedy under this Lease or otherwise.
SECTION 12.7. INTEREST ON OVERDUE SUMS. If Tenant fails to pay Fixed Rent,
Additional Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord by the due date
thereof (i.e., the due date disregarding any requirement of notice from Landlord
or any period of grace allowed to Tenant), the amount so unpaid shall bear
interest, at a variable rate per annum (the "Delinquency Rate") equal to the
greater of (i) four percent (4%) in excess of the base rate (prime rate) of The
First National Bank of Boston from time to time in effect or (ii) the maximum
interest rate permissible under applicable law, commencing with the due date and
continuing through the day on which payment of such delinquent payment with
interest thereon is paid.
SECTION 13
MORTGAGES
SECTION 13.1. RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE HOLDERS. No Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or
any other charge shall be paid more than ten (10) days prior to the due date
thereof and payments made in violation of this provision shall (except to the
extent that such payments are actually received by a mortgagee in possession or
in the process of foreclosing its mortgage) be a nullity as against such
mortgagee and Tenant shall be liable for the amount of such payments to such
mortgagee.
In the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the
right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant
shall not exercise any such right (a) until it shall have given notice, in the
manner provided in Section 14.1, of such act or omission to any Lender whose
name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant in writing, at the last
address so furnished, and (b) until a reasonable period of time for remedying
such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice,
provided that following the giving of such notice, Landlord or such Lender
shall, with reasonable diligence have commenced and continued to remedy such act
or omission or to cause the same to be rendered.
In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the
event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage now or hereafter
encumbering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon such
foreclosure or sale or upon any grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and
recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.
SECTION 13.2. SUPERIORITY OF LEASE; OPTION TO SUBORDINATE. Unless Landlord
exercises the option set forth below in this Section 13.2, this Lease shall be
superior to and shall not be subordinate to any mortgage on the Premises.
Landlord shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage of the
Premises provided that the holder of record thereof enters into an agreement
with Tenant, in such holder's customary form, by the terms of which such holder
will agree to (a) recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease, (b) perform
Landlord's obligations hereunder arising after the date of such
-21-
<PAGE>
holder's acquisition of title and (c) accept Tenant as tenant of the Premises
under the terms and conditions of this Lease in the event of acquisition of
title by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise and Tenant
will agree to recognize the holder of such mortgage as Landlord in such event,
which agreement shall be made expressly to bind and inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of Tenant and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing
the Premises at any foreclosure sale. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any
appropriate instruments necessary to carry out the agreements contained in this
Section 13.2.
SECTION 14
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 14.1. NOTICES FROM ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER. For the purposes of this
Lease, all notices, demands, requests, or refusal to accept delivery which may

shall not have any liability to Tenant for any incidental or consequential
damages arising out of or related to the services provided under this Lease,
including, but not limited to, the loss of use, revenue or profit arising from
any delay or failure of Landlord's performance hereunder or for any defects or
problems related thereto. Landlord's sole liability shall be to refund an
equitable portion of the Fixed Rent paid by Tenant for such service or services
which are the subject of claim or dispute.
SECTION 14.5. ACTS OF GOD. Excepting only the obligation of Tenant to pay
any monetary amount due hereunder, in any case where either party hereto is
required to do any act, delays caused by or resulting from acts of God, war,
civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of
labor, materials or equipment, government regulations, unusually severe weather,
or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control (other than financial
inability) shall not be counted in determining the time during which work shall
be completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or a
"reasonable time", and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of
such delay.
SECTION 14.6. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless it shall
fail to perform such obligations and unless within thirty (30) days after notice

pursued such correction to completion. Tenant shall have no right, for any
default by Landlord, to offset or counterclaim against any rent due hereunder.

matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements,

this Lease are included for purposes of convenience of reference only, and shall
not effect the construction or interpretation of this Lease. All Exhibits
referred to herein are a part of this Lease.

or court of law having competent jurisdiction over the subject matter and the
parties hereto, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable in
accordance with their terms. It is the express intent of the parties that in the
event that any term, provision or portion of this Lease is deemed contrary to

recording of any instruments evidencing such Grants, provided that such Grants
do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant
agrees to fully cooperate in relocating any such Grants which will not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall sign any
agreements with respect to such Grants as may be reasonably requested by
Landlord and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a material breach of
this Lease.
SECTION 14.14. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be valid and binding original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. The signature page and
acknowledgment of any counterpart may be removed therefrom and attached to any

ILC TECHNOLOGY, INC.

PROXY STATEMENT
------------------------
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of ILC
Technology, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
(the "Meeting") to be held Wednesday, February 14, 1996 at 2:00 p.m. local time,
or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Meeting will be held at the
principal offices of the Company, which are located at 399 Java Drive,
Sunnyvale, California 94089. The Company's telephone number is (408) 745-7900.
These proxy solicitation materials were mailed to shareholders on or about
January 2, 1996.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 18, 1995 are
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. On December 18, 1995,
4,691,416 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued and outstanding. A
majority of the shares issued and outstanding as of December 18, 1995 must be
present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting for the transaction of
business. Nominees for election of directors are elected by plurality vote of
all votes cast at the Meeting. Approval of the amendment to the 1992 Stock
Option Plan and ratification of Arthur Andersen LLP as the independent public
accountants require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at
the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Abstentions have the
effect of a negative vote, but broker non-votes do not affect the calculation.
For the election of directors, shareholders may exercise cumulative voting
rights which enable them to cast as many votes as there are directors to be
elected, multiplied by the number of shares held by each shareholder. All such
votes may be cast for one candidate or may be distributed as desired among two
or more candidates. However, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes
unless the candidate's name has been placed in nomination before the voting and
the shareholder has given notice at the Meeting before the voting of the
shareholder's intention to cumulate votes. If one shareholder gives such notice,
all shareholders may cumulate their votes and the proxy holders may vote all
proxies on a cumulative voting basis. On all other matters, each share has one
vote.
Any person may revoke a proxy at any time before its use by delivering to
the Company a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date
or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.
The cost of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. These costs
represent amounts normally expended for a solicitation for an election of
directors. The Company may reimburse brokerage firms and
1
<PAGE>
other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in
forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Proxies may also be
solicited by certain of the Company's directors, officers and regular employees,
without additional compensation, personally, by telephone or otherwise.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF SHAREHOLDER
PROPOSALS FOR 1996 ANNUAL MEETING
Proposals of shareholders that are intended to be presented by such
shareholders at the Company's 1996 meeting of shareholders must be received by
the Company no later than September 4, 1996.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
NOMINEES
A board of five directors is to be elected at the Meeting. There will be one
vacancy on the Board. Unless marked to the contrary, all properly signed and
returned proxies will be voted for the election of management's five nominees
named below, all of whom are directors of the Company. If any nominee is unable
or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Meeting, the proxies will
be voted for any nominee designated by the present Board of Directors to fill
the vacancy. The Company is not aware of any nominee who will be unable or will
decline to serve as a director. The proxy holders reserve the right to cumulate
votes for the election of directors in such a manner as will assure the election
of as many of the nominees listed below as possible, and, in such event, the
specific nominees to be voted for will be determined by the proxy holders. The
term of office of each person elected as a director will continue until the next
meeting of shareholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified.
The names of the nominees and certain information about them are set forth
below.

BOARD COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee") is composed of Harrison H. Augur, Chairman, Arthur L. Schawlow,
Wirt D. Walker and Richard D. Capra. All are independent outside directors. The
Committee is charged with the responsibility for reviewing the performance and
approving the compensation of key executives and for establishing general
compensation policies and standards for reviewing management performance. The
Committee also reviews both corporate and key executive performance in light of
established criteria and goals and approves individual key executive
compensation.

<PAGE>
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The executive compensation philosophy of the Company is to provide
competitive levels of compensation that advance the Company's annual and
long-term performance objectives, reward corporate performance, and assist the
Company in attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified executives. The
framework for the Committee's executive compensation programs is to establish
base salaries which are competitive and to incentivize excellent performance by
providing executives with the opportunity to earn additional remuneration linked
to the Company's profitability. The incentive plan goals are designed to improve
the effectiveness and enhance the efficiency of Company operations, to provide
savings for customers and to create value for shareholders. It is also the
Company's policy to encourage share ownership by executive officers and Outside
Directors through the grant of stock options.
COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION
The compensation package of the Company's executive officers consists of
base annual salary, bonus opportunities and stock option grants.
At executive levels, base salaries are reviewed but not necessarily
increased annually. Base salaries are fixed at levels slightly below competitive
amounts paid to individuals with comparable qualifications, experience and
responsibilities engaged in similar businesses as the Company. The Company
develops its executive compensation data from a nationally recognized survey for
high technology companies of similar size, industry and location. Mr.
Fredianelli's base salary of $110,000 was increased to $120,000 in May 1995. No
other executive officer of the Company received a salary increase in fiscal
1995.
Incentive compensation is closely tied to the Company's success in achieving
financial performance goals. Each year the Committee approves a management bonus
program based upon performance objectives for executive officers and other key
employees. Under the program, a participant may receive in any year a portion of
a management bonus pool, which pool is based on a percentage of yearly pre-tax
profits with no ceiling. The participant's share is based on his or her base
wage as a percent of the total salaries of all participants during the
management bonus period. The participant's distribution is then calculated in
accordance with a bonus point scaling system tied to financial performance
goals. In addition, all employees share in another bonus program based solely on
a percentage of pre-tax profits, again with no ceiling, and distributed based on
a percentage of base salary.
The Company uses stock options both to reward past performance and to
motivate future performance, especially long-term performance. The Committee
believes that through the use of stock options, executive interests are directly
tied to enhancing shareholder value. Stock options are granted at fair market
value as of the date of grant, and have a term of ten years. The options vest
25% per year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant. The stock
options provide value to the recipients only when the market price of the
Company's Common Stock increases above the option grant price and only as the
shares vest and become exercisable.

<PAGE>
The Committee did not approve any stock option grants for any of the
executive officers during fiscal year 1995.
MR. BAUMGARTNER'S 1995 COMPENSATION
The Committee makes decisions regarding the compensation of the Chief
Executive Officer using the same philosophy set forth above. The Committee's
approach in setting Mr. Baumgartner's base compensation, as with that of the
Company's other executives, is to be competitive with other companies within the
industry, taking into consideration company size, operating conditions and
compensation philosophy and performance. Mr. Baumgartner's base salary in fiscal
1995 was the same as his base salary in fiscal 1994. Mr. Baumgartner's fiscal
1995 incentive compensation was earned under the same bonus plans and
performance criteria that were described previously in this report. He received
no stock option grants during fiscal 1995.

AMENDMENT OF THE 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN
In November 1995, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution, subject to
shareholder approval, approving an amendment to the Company's 1992 Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
thereunder by 200,000 shares to 400,000 shares and to set the maximum number of
shares subject to options granted to any participant under the Plan in any
fiscal year at 100,000 shares of Common Stock. Before giving effect to the
proposed amendment to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under
the Plan, 874 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under the Plan.
The purpose of the amendment to limit the maximum number of shares subject to
options granted to any one individual in any fiscal year is to conform the Plan
to requirements of recent tax legislation to ensure the deductibility of the
compensation element of options granted under the Plan.
Approval of the amendment to the Plan requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote for the
amendment to the Plan. The essential features of the Plan are summarized below.
The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by giving
the Company's employees and Outside Directors incentive through ownership of the
Company's Common Stock to continue in the service of the Company and thereby to
help the Company compete effectively with other enterprises for the services of
qualified individuals. Options granted under the Plan may be either "incentive
stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), or nonstatutory stock options.
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan is administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of
the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). In addition to having general
supervisory and interpretive authority over the Plan, the Committee determines,
upon the recommendation of management and subject to the terms and limits of the
Plan, the employees, if any, to whom options will be granted, the time at which
options are granted, the number of shares subject to each option and the terms
and conditions of exercise of options.
ELIGIBILITY
All employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of
the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive incentive stock options
under the Plan. Nonstatutory stock options may be granted under the Plan to
employees and directors of the Company. Participants are selected by the
Committee upon the recommendation of management. Nonstatutory stock options are
also granted under the Plan to all Outside Directors pursuant to the automatic
grant program. As of September 30, 1995, 588 persons were eligible to receive
options under the Plan, of which three were executive officers of the Company,
581 were non-executive officer employees and four were Outside Directors.
11
<PAGE>
Under the terms of the Plan, the aggregate fair market value (determined at
the date of the option grant) of the stock with respect to which incentive stock
options are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar
year may not exceed $100,000. Under the terms of the Plan, as amended, no
participant will be able to receive options to purchase more than a total of
100,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan in any fiscal year.
The Plan provides for an automatic grant program for Outside Directors,
whereby each year, each Outside Director is automatically granted a new ten-year
nonstatutory stock option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock, which is
exercisable in cumulative annual increments of 25% beginning on the first
anniversary of the date of grant. See "Plan Benefits."
TERMS OF OPTIONS
Each option granted under the Plan must be evidenced by an option agreement
between the Company and the optionee and has a term of up to 10 years, unless
sooner terminated in accordance with the Plan or the option agreement. Options
granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical, but each option is subject
to the following terms and conditions:
(a) EXERCISE OF OPTION. Options are exercisable by the optionee in
such periodic increments and/or at such milestones as the Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall determine on an individual basis with respect to each
optionee. Options are generally exercisable in cumulative increments of 25%
per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In no
event shall an officer or director of the Company exercise any option during
the six-month period immediately following the grant of such option. An
option is exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the Company,
specifying the number of full shares of Common Stock to be purchased, and
tendering payment of the purchase price and any applicable taxes to the
Company. Payment for shares issued upon exercise of an option may consist of
cash, check or delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price.
(b) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price is determined by the Committee,
provided that in no instance shall such price be less than the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The Plan
defines "fair market value" as the closing sales price of the Common Stock
of the Company as reported by the Nasdaq National Market on the last market
trading day before the date of grant. The closing sales price of the
Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on December 18, 1995
was $9.375 per share.
Incentive stock options granted to shareholders owning more than 10% of
the combined voting power of all the stock of the Company are subject to the
additional restrictions that the exercise price be no less than 110% of the
fair market value on the date of grant and that options expire no later than
5 years from the date of grant.
12
<PAGE>
(c) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Incentive stock options granted under
the Plan terminate 30 days after the optionee ceases to be employed by the
Company unless (i) the termination of employment is due to permanent and
total disability, in which case the option may be exercised at any time
within 12 months after termination to the extent the option was exercisable
on the date of termination; (ii) the optionee dies while employed by the
Company, in which case the option may be exercised at any time within 12
months after death to the extent the option was exercisable on the date of
death; or (iii) the option by its terms specifically provides otherwise.
Subject to special rules for incentive stock options, the Committee may, in
its discretion, extend the period of exercisability of an option after an
optionee's termination of employment, but in no event shall any option be
exercisable after the expiration date set forth in the option agreement.
(d) EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS. No option is exercisable by any person
after the expiration of 10 years from the date the option was granted.
(e) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. Options granted under the Plan are
transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are
exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee or the
optionee's guardian or legal representative.
(f) OTHER PROVISIONS. The option agreement may contain such other
terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the
Committee may deem necessary or appropriate.
ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
The Plan provides for adjustments to be made in the shares subject to option
to give effect to changes in the capital structure of the Company resulting from
recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares,
mergers or reorganizations. Depending upon the circumstances, the particular
adjustments may require a change in the number, kind and class of securities
covered by the option and a change in the exercise price or prices thereof to
give effect to the purpose and intent of the Plan. The Plan and all options
terminate in the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. A Corporate Transaction is defined in the Plan
generally as a merger or asset sale in which the Company does not survive, or
any reorganization that results in the transfer of beneficial ownership of 50%
or more of the Company's voting stock outstanding. Immediately before the
effective date of a Corporate Transaction, each option outstanding under the
Plan will automatically become exercisable in full unless the option is either
to be assumed by the successor corporation or a parent thereof or replaced by a
reasonably comparable option to purchase shares of the successor corporation or
parent thereof, in connection with the Corporate Transaction. Upon the
consummation of any Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options will
terminate, to the extent not previously exercised by the optionees or assumed by
the successor corporation or its parent company.
CHANGE IN CONTROL. Change in control is defined in the Plan generally as a
tender or exchange offer that is not recommended by the Company's Board of
Directors for 25% or more of the Company's voting
13
<PAGE>
stock by a person or related group of persons other than the Company or an
affiliate of the Company, or a contested election for the Board of Directors
that results in a change in a majority of the Board. Effective 15 days following
the effective date of a Change in Control, each option outstanding under the
Plan will automatically become exercisable in full and will remain fully
exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term
specified in the option agreement.
Acceleration of the exercisability of options in the event of a Corporate
Transaction or a Change in Control may have the effect of depressing the market
price of the Company's Common Stock and denying shareholders a control premium
that might otherwise be paid for their shares in such a transaction and may have
the effect of discouraging a proposal for merger, a takeover attempt or other
efforts to gain control of the Company.
ADJUSTMENT TO OPTION RIGHTS
Subject to the general limitations of the Plan, the Committee may adjust the
exercise price, term or any other provision of an option (other than automatic
options granted to Outside Directors) by cancelling and regranting the option or
by amending or substituting the option. Options that have been so adjusted may
have higher or lower exercise prices, have longer or shorter terms, or be
subject to different rights and restrictions than prior options. The Committee
may also adjust the number of options granted to an optionee by cancelling
outstanding options or granting additional options. Except for adjustments
necessary to ensure compliance with any applicable state or federal law, no such
adjustment may impair an optionee's rights under any option agreement without
the consent of the optionee.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
The Board may amend the Plan from time to time or may suspend or terminate
the Plan. In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or
regulations, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any amendment to
the Plan in such a manner as required. However, no such action by the Board or
shareholders may alter or impair any option previously granted under the Plan
without the consent of the optionee.
The Plan terminates by its terms when all shares available for issuance
under the Plan have been issued or in November 2002, whichever is earlier,
subject to earlier termination by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding such
termination, options granted under the Plan will remain outstanding in
accordance with their terms.
PLAN BENEFITS
Automatic options are granted to the Outside Directors at the meeting of the
Committee held during the Company's third fiscal quarter. Under the Plan, each
Outside Director, currently Messrs. Auger, Capra, Schawlow and Walker, will
receive an automatic grant of options to purchase 5,000 share of Common Stock
each calendar year.

<PAGE>
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following summary is intended only as a general guide as to the federal
income tax consequences under current law with respect to participation in the
Plan and does not describe all possible federal and other tax consequences of
such participation. Furthermore, the tax consequences of options are complex and
subject to change, and a taxpayer's situation may be such that some variation of
the described rules applies. The summary does not address other taxes that may
affect an optionee such as state and local income taxes, federal and state
estate, inheritance and gift taxes and foreign taxes. Optionees should consult
with their own tax advisors before the exercise of any option and before the
disposition of any shares acquired upon the exercise of an option.
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. If an option is treated as an incentive stock
option ("ISO"), the optionee does not recognize taxable income upon its grant or
incur tax on its exercise (unless the optionee is subject to the alternative
minimum tax described below). If the optionee holds the stock acquired upon
exercise of an ISO ("ISO Shares") for more than one year after the date the
option was exercised and for more than two years after the date the option was
granted, the optionee generally will realize long-term capital gain or loss
(rather than ordinary income or loss) upon disposition of the ISO Shares. This
gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon
such disposition and the amount paid for the ISO Shares. If the optionee
disposes of ISO Shares before the expiration of either required holding period
(a "disqualifying disposition"), then gain realized upon such disqualifying
disposition, up to the difference between the fair market value of the ISO
Shares on the date of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of
such ISO Shares) and the option exercise price, will be treated as ordinary
income. Any additional gain will be long-term or short-term capital gain,
depending upon the length of time the optionee held the ISO Shares. The Company
will be entitled to a deduction in connection with the disposition of ISO Shares
only to the extent that the optionee recognizes ordinary income on a
disqualifying disposition of the ISO Shares.
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. The difference between the exercise price and fair
market value of the ISO Shares on the date of exercise of an ISO is an
adjustment to income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). The
AMT (imposed to the extent it exceeds the taxpayer's regular tax) is 26% of an
individual taxpayer's alternative minimum taxable income (28% in the case of
alternative minimum taxable income in excess of $175,000). Alternative minimum
taxable income is determined by adjusting regular taxable income for certain
items, increasing that income by certain tax preference items and reducing this
amount by the applicable exemption amount ($45,000 in the case of a joint
return, subject to reduction in certain circumstances). If a disqualifying
disposition of the ISO Shares occurs in the same calendar year as exercise of
the ISO, there is no AMT adjustment with respect to those ISO Shares. Also, upon
a sale of ISO Shares that is not a disqualifying disposition, alternative
minimum taxable income is reduced in the year of sale by the excess of the fair
market value of the ISO Shares at exercise over the amount paid for the ISO
Shares.

NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS. An optionee does not recognize any taxable
income at the time a nonstatutory stock option ("NSO") is granted. However, upon
exercise of an NSO, the optionee must include in income as compensation an
amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise and the amount paid for that stock upon exercise of the
NSO. The included amount must be treated as ordinary income by the optionee and
will be subject to income tax withholding by the Company. Upon resale of the
shares by the optionee, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value
of the shares will be treated as capital gain or loss. The Company will be
entitled to a deduction in connection with the exercise of an NSO by a domestic
optionee to the extent that the optionee recognizes ordinary income and the
Company withholds tax. In addition, for taxable years beginning after 1993,
deductions taken by the Company for compensation paid to certain employees
generally will be limited to $1 million per employee. This limitation is subject
to a number of exceptions, and will not apply to the compensation element of
stock options to the extent that such amounts are deemed to be paid in
connection with the attainment by the employee of performance goals, if certain
other requirements are met.
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
The Board of Directors has selected Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public
accountants, to serve as the auditors for the Company for fiscal 1996. At the
Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to ratify such appointment.
Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP are expected to attend the Meeting and
will be given the opportunity to make a statement and to answer appropriate
questions.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company knows of no other matters to be submitted to the Meeting.
However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any
adjournment or postponement thereof, it is the intention of the proxy holders to
vote the shares they represent as the Board of Directors may recommend.
