prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance

present  fairly the  financial  information  set forth  therein.  The results of
operations  for such  interim  periods  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results to be expected for the full year.

                              ILC TECHNOLOGY, INC.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                 MARCH 29, 1997

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     ------------------------------------------

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ---------------------

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILC
Technology,  Inc.,  and its  subsidiaries,  after  elimination  of  intercompany
accounts and  transactions.  The Company's  quarter ends on the last Saturday of
the fiscal month.

     The Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for the quarter and six
months ended March 30, 1996 were restated to reflect the  Company's  decision to
discontinue  the  operations of Precision  Lamp,  Inc. This  restatement  had no
impact on net income.


     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     -------------------------

     For the purpose of the statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers all
highly liquid  investments with a maturity of less than three months at the time
of issue to be cash equivalents.


      INVENTORIES
      -----------

     Inventories  are  stated  at the lower of cost  (first  in,  first  out) or
market, and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.


2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE
      ------------------

     Earnings per share is computed using the weighted  average number of common
shares and common  equivalent  shares  (when  such  equivalents  have a dilutive
effect)  outstanding  during the periods using the treasury stock method.  Fully
diluted  earnings per share is not  significantly  different  from  earnings per
share as reported.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
on Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128 (SFAS 128),  "Earnings  per Share",
which is required  to be adopted by the  Company in its first  quarter of fiscal
1998. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method  currently
used to compute  earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the
new requirements for calculating  earnings per share, primary earnings per share
will be replaced with basic  earnings per share and fully diluted  earnings will
be replaced with diluted earnings per share. Under basic earnings per share, the
dilutive  effect of stock  options  will be  excluded.  The  Company has not yet
quantified the effect of adopting SFAS No. 128.

 3.   COVENANT-NOT-TO-COMPETE
      -----------------------

     The  covenant-not-to-compete  relates  to the Q-Arc  acquisition  that took
place in  1991.  This is  being  amortized  over  the  period  of the  covenant.
Subsequent to  this  acquisition, the Company  quarterly evaluates whether later

   NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(CONTINUED)

                                 MARCH 29, 1997


events and  circumstances  have occurred  that indicate the remaining  estimated
useful  life of this  intangible  may  warrant  revision  or that the  remaining
balance of the intangible  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. As
part of the Company's  decision to  discontinue  the operations of its Precision
Lamp  subsidiary,   the  unamortized  balance  of  the   covenant-not-to-compete
($470,000) was written off in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.


4.    BANK BORROWINGS
      ---------------

     In January 1997, the Company  negotiated an additional  $3,000,000  line of
credit  available to June 30, 1997 at 2.5% above the LIBOR rate. As of March 29,
1997, the Company had used approximately $2,100,000 of this line of credit.


5.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
      -----------------------

     In September  1996, the Company's  Board of Directors voted to proceed with
the  divestiture  of the Company's  Precision Lamp  subsidiary  based in Cotati,
California  (see 1996  Annual  Report/10K).  For the six months  ended March 29,
1997, the loss incurred by this operation of  approximately  $765,000 was offset
against the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 accrual for anticipated  losses during
the disposition of discontinued operations.

     In January 1997, the Company signed an agreement to sell the Precision Lamp
subsidiary.  The selling price was approximately $3.3 million but was subject to
due diligence and the ability of the purchaser to obtain  adequate  financing no
later  than  March 31,  1997.  The  purchaser  was not able to  obtain  adequate
financing,  but through  further  discussions  with the  purchaser,  the Company
agreed to sell the stock of Precision Lamp for a $4 million  promissory  note at
8% interest per year on any unpaid principal amount.  Payments on the promissory
note begin in May 1997 and will be  completed  in April 2000.  This  transaction
will be recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The purchase price, net of
expenses, will approximate book value.


6.    CONVERTER POWER, INC.
      ---------------------

     In May 1997,  the Company  announced the sale of Converter  Power,  Inc. to
applied  Science and  Technology,  Inc.  (ASTeX)  for a purchase  price of $6.35
million  in cash and  45,000  shares of ASTeX  stock.  The stock will be held in
escrow subject to post-closing adjustments.  The sale will result in a gain, the
financial  details of which will be reported with the results of operations  for
the quarter ending June 28, 1997.

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


GENERAL
- -------

     In September  1996, the Company's  Board of Directors voted to proceed with
the divestiture of the Company's  Precision Lamp  subsidiary  located in Cotati,
California.  Accordingly,  the  following  discussion  and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations  reflects the activities of ILC  Technology,
Inc., Converter Power, Inc. and Q-Arc Ltd.

     This  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of  Operations  includes a number of  forward-looking  statements  which
reflect the Company's  current views with respect to future events and financial
performance.  These forward-looking  statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties,  including  those discussed below that could cause actual results
to differ  materially  from  historical  results or those  anticipated.  In this
report,  the words "believes",  "future",  "may have",  "will take place",  "are
expected" and similar expressions identify forward-looking  statements.  Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these  forward-looking  statements,
which speak only as of the date hereof.


CONTINUING OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales  increased 6% in the quarter ended March 29, 1997 to  $14,775,000
compared to $13,943,000 in the quarter ended March 30, 1996.  Although net sales
at ILC increased  12.7% between the two quarters,  net sales at Converter  Power
decreased  15.6% between the two  quarterly  periods.  In the fourth  quarter of
fiscal 1996, Converter Power experienced a significant  reduction in orders from
a  major  customer  that  provides  equipment  to  the  semiconductor  equipment
industry.  This order reduction  continued into the first quarter of fiscal 1997
and also into the  second  quarter  of fiscal  1997 but to a lesser  degree.  As
discussed in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Converter  Power  subsidiary  was sold in May 1997.  Net sales at Q-Arc remained
constant  between  the two  quarterly  periods.  The net sales  increase  at ILC
Sunnyvale was the result of a higher volume of products sold primarily in Quartz
Lamp and Aerospace products.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 71.5% in the second  quarter
of fiscal 1997 compared to 65.1% in the same quarter last year.  The  percentage
increase was due  partially to the sales  decline from  Converter  Power's major
customer as  discussed  above  despite  cost  reduction  initiated in the fourth
quarter  of  fiscal  1996  as well  as in the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997.
Additionally,  unfavorable  yields  primarily in Cermax products and to a lesser
degree in Flashlamp  products,  due to production  equipment  moves to allow for
increased production  capabilities,  contributed to the cost of sales percentage
increase  between  the first  quarter  of fiscal  1997 and the first  quarter of
fiscal  1996.  The cost of sales  percentage  associated  with  Quartz  products
decreased  between  the  two  quarters  resulting  in a  positive  gross  margin
contribution in the quarter ended March 29, 1997.

     Research and development  expenses,  8.2% of net sales in the quarter ended
March 29,  1997  compared  to 9.2% of net sales in the  quarter  ended March 30,
1996, decreased $71,000 between the two quarters.  Spending declines occurred in
Quartz  products  for  the  development  of  lamps  used  in the  processing  of
semiconductor materials, but increased in the developent of Cermax and Equipment
products for the display and projection markets.

     Marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 and for the quarter
ended  March 30,  1996,  both 5.3% of net sales,  were  $779,000  and  $741,000,
respectively.  The $38,000  increase  between the two quarters was the result of
more travel and trade show attendance.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
           ---------------------------------

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 1996(CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 7.4%
in the second  quarter of fiscal 1997 and 8.7% in the second quarter of 1996. In
absolute dollars,  the general and  administrative  spending level has decreased
$119,000 between the two quarters primarily at Converter Power.

     Amortization of intangibles of $30,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
and 1996 represents the amortization of the covenant-not-to-compete arising from
the acquisition of Q-Arc in 1991.

     Net interest expense, $185,000 in the quarter ended March 29, 1997 compared
to $111,000 in the quarter ended March 30, 1996,  increased  $74,000 between the
two quarters.  Interest  expense  associated with continuing  operations for the
second  quarter of fiscal 1997 was $215,000  compared to $145,000 for the second
quarter of fiscal  1996.  The  increase  in  interest  expense  between  the two
quarters is due to higher  borrowings under a line of credit for working capital
needs and an equipment line of credit for capital equipment acquisitions.

     The Company reported income from continuing operations before provision for
income taxes of $919,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to income
from continuing  operations  before  provision for income taxes of $1,499,000 in
the second  quarter of fiscal 1996.  The effective tax rate in the quarter ended
March 29, 1997 and in the quarter ended March 30, 1996 was 25%.

     As previously discussed,  the Company's Board of Directors voted to proceed
with the  divestiture  of  Precision  Lamp  located in Cotati,  California.  The
operating  loss of Precision  Lamp incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
(approximately  $564,000) has been offset  against an accrual made in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996 for  anticipated  losses during the final  disposition of
the  subsidiary.  In January 1997,  the Company  signed an agreement to sell the
Precision  Lamp  subsidiary  for  approximately  $3.3  million  subject  to  due
diligence and the purchaser's ability to obtain adequate financing.  The closing
was set to occur no later than March 31,  1997.  The  purchaser  was not able to
secure the required financing, but an agreement was reached in May 1997, between
the purchaser and the Company,  to sell the stock of Precision Lamp. The Company
received a $4 million  promissory note together with 8% interest per year on any
unpaid  principal  amount.  Payments  begin in May 1997 and will be completed in
April 2000.


SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the six months ended March 29, 1997  increased to $26,897,000
from  $26,154,000 for the six months ended March 30, 1996. Even though net sales
between the two six month periods  remained  relatively  constant,  net sales at
Converter Power decreased 31.1%. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, Converter
Power  experienced a significant  reduction in orders from a major customer that
provides equipment to the semiconductor equipment industry. This order reduction
continued  into the first and second  quarters of fiscal 1997. In May 1997,  the
Converter Power  subsidiary was sold as further  discussed in Note 6 of Notes to
Condensed  Consolidated  Financial Statements.  Net sales at ILC increased 12.1%
and at Q-Arc  18.8% in the six months  ended  March 29, 1997 from the six months
ended March 30, 1996. The net sales increases at both ILC Sunnyvale and at Q-Arc
were  the  result  of a higher  volume  of  products  sold in all  areas  except
Equipment products, which were lower than the previous year due to the timing of
the shipment of orders.

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
           ---------------------------------

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (CONTINUED)
 -----------

     Cost of sales as a  percentage  of net sales  was 71.8% for the six  months
ended March 29, 1997  compared to 65.3% for the six months ended March 30, 1996.
The  percentage  increase was due primarily to the sales decline from  Converter
Power's major customer discussed above despite cost reductions  initiated in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Unfavorable
yields in Cermax, Flashlamp and Infrared lamp products coupled with increases in
the  provision  for  inventory  reserves  and revenue  recognition  on Aerospace
contracts  with low or minimal  gross margins  contributed  to the cost of sales
percentage  increase  between  the six months  ended  March 29, 1997 and the six
months ended March 30, 1996.

     Research and development expenses,  $2,276,000 or 8.5% of net sales for the
six months ended March 29, 1997, decreased $225,000 from $2,501,000,  or 9.6% of
net sales for the six months ended March 30, 1996. Spending declines occurred in
Flashlamp  and Quartz  lamp  products  and at  Converter  Power  while  spending
increases  took place in Cermax and  Equipment  for the display  and  projection
markets.

     Marketing  expenses in the six months ended March 29, 1997 were $1,526,000,
or 5.7% of net sales  compared to  $1,397,000,  or 5.3% of net sales in the same
six month  period a year ago. The  $129,000  increase  between the two six month
periods  was the result of  personnel  additions  and more travel and trade show
attendance.

     General and  administrative  expenses,  7.7% of net sales in the six months
ended March 29, 1997 compared to 8.6% of net sales in the six months ended March
30, 1996, decreased $175,000. The majority of the decrease occurred at Converter
Power although  personnel  additions at Q-Arc caused general and  administrative
expenses to increase at that location.

     Amortization  of  intangibles  of $60,000 in the six months ended March 29,
1997 and March 30, 1996  represents  the  amortization  of the  covenant-not-to-
compete arising from the acquisition of Q-Arc in 1991.

     Net  interest  expense,  $324,000  in the six months  ended  March 29, 1997
compared to $225,000 in the six months ended March 30, 1996,  increased  $99,000
between the two six month periods.  Interest expense  associated with continuing
operations  for the first six months of fiscal  1997 was  $399,000  compared  to
$296,000  for the first six months of fiscal  1996.  The  increase  in  interest
expense  between the two six month periods is due to higher  borrowings  under a
line of credit for working  capital  needs and an  equipment  line of credit for
capital equipment acquisitions.

     The Company reported income from continuing operations before provision for
income taxes of  $1,323,000  for the six months ended March 29, 1997 compared to
income  from  continuing   operations  before  provision  for  income  taxes  of
$2,628,000  for the six months ended March 30, 1996.  The  effective tax rate in
the six months ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996 was 25%.

     As previously discussed,  the Company's Board of Directors voted to proceed
with the  divestiture  of  Precision  Lamp  located in Cotati,  California.  The
operating  losses of  Precision  Lamp for the six months  ended  March 29,  1997
(approximately  $765,000) have been offset against an accrual made in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996 for  anticipated  losses during the final  disposition of
the  subsidiary.  In January 1997,  the Company  signed an agreement to sell the
Precision  Lamp  subsidiary  for  approximately  $3.3  million  subject  to  due
diligence and the purchaser's ability to obtain adequate financing.  The closing
was set to occur no later than March 31,  1997.  The  purchaser  was not able to
secure the required financing, but an agreement was reached in May 1997, between
the purchaser and the Company,  to sell the stock of Precision Lamp. The Company
received a $4 million  promissory note together with 8% interest per year on any
unpaid  principal  amount.  Payments  begin in May 1997 and will be completed in
April 2000.

          ---------------------------------------------------------------
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
           ---------------------------------


LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ---------------------------------

     Net cash used in  operating  activities  for the six months ended March 29,
1997 was $1,040,000,  a $2,000,000 change from the $960,000 net cash provided by
operating  activities for the six months ended March 30, 1996.  During the first
six months of fiscal 1997, the Company made capital  equipment  acquisitions  of
$1,905,000, increased its net borrowings under its line of credit by $1,880,000,
increased its net borrowings under an equipment line by $488,000 and paid down a
term loan by $659,000.  During the first six months of fiscal 1996,  the Company
made capital equipment acquisitions of $1,114,000,  increased its net borrowings
under its line of  credit by  $300,000,  paid down a term loan by  $792,000  and
increased its net borrowings under an equipment line by $101,000.

     Raw  material  inventories  have  increased  from  September  28,  1996  by
approximately $2,275,000. This increase is in anticipation of product demands in
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and to reduce cycle time for customer needs.

     The Company has working  capital of $17,145,581 and a current ratio of 2.35
to 1.0 at March 29, 1997.  This compares with working capital of $15,155,000 and
a current ratio of 2.45 to 1.0 at September 28, 1996. As of March 29, 1997,  the
Company had  $4,780,000  outstanding  on a $6,000,000  bank line of credit at 2%
above the LIBOR rate (London Interbank Offer Rate) (7.69% at March 29, 1997). In
January 1997,  the Company  negotiated an additional  $3,000,000  line of credit
available  to June 30,  1997 at 2.5%  above  the LIBOR  rate.  The  Company  has
$900,000 unused on this additional line of credit at March 29, 1997. The Company
is currently negotiating an equipment credit facility to accommodate the capital
equipment needs of the Company. At March 29, 1997, the Company was in compliance
with  all bank  covenants.  In  fiscal  1997,  ILC  anticipates  making  capital
equipment expenditures of approximately $2.5 million. These financial resources,
together with  anticipated  additional  resources to be provided from continuing
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 1997.
