beginning after May 8, 1998.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
Optical Corporation of America, "OCA" in which the Company will acquire
100% of the outstanding shares and common stock equivalents of OCA in
exchange for approximately 1.9 million shares of OCLI common stock.  The
merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996 and is anticpated
to be accounted for as a "pooling of interests" which will require the
Company to restate its consolidated financial statements for each period
presented as if the merger had taken place prior to the beginning of the
period or prior to the balance sheet date. For its fiscal year ended June
30, 1996, OCA had unaudited revenues of $29.6 million and unaudited net
income of $416,000.
     
     OCA is a privately held corporation which designs and manufactures
optical and electro-optical components and subsystems, including devices
for expanding the capacity of new and existing long distance fiber optic

                         PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUE.  Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $48.8
million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3%, over revenue of $47.3 million
in the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Revenue for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 was $141.1 million, an increase of $16.3 million, or 13%, over
revenue of $124.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. Revenue
for the third quarter of 1996 increased due to higher shipments of products
used in projection imaging and telecommunications applications and due to
licensing and sales revenue from the sale of a coating machine, partially
offset by decreased shipments of products used in office automation and
computer display applications.   Revenue for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 increased primarily due to the consolidation of Flex Products,
Inc. (Flex Products).  The Company increased its ownership in Flex Products
from 40% to a controlling 60% in May of 1995, resulting in the
consolidation of Flex Products' financial results into the Company's
financial statements beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$15.4 million, or 31.6% of revenue, compared to $17.8 million, or 37.5% of
revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Gross profit for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 was $47.6 million, or  33.8% of revenue,
compared to $48.0 million, or 38.4% of revenue, for the first nine months
of fiscal 1995. The gross profit decrease in the fiscal 1996 third quarter
was due to lower shipments of computer display and office automation
products and startup costs associated with new manufacturing facilities,
partially offset by the gross profit associated with the sale of a coating
machine.  Gross profit for the fiscal 1996 nine month period was
approximately even with the comparative period of fiscal 1995 and reflects
gross profit increases resulting from the consolidation of Flex Products
and the sale of a coating machine offset by lower gross profit in computer
display and office automation markets along with start up costs associated
with new manufacturing facilities.  Gross profit margin declines in the
current year three and nine month periods were due primarily to decreased
shipments of higher margin products used in computer display applications
and start up costs associated with the new  manufacturing facilities,
partially offset by the higher gross margins associated with the sale of a
coating machine.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenditures in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $2.9 million, or 6.0% of revenue,
compared to $2.5 million, or 5.4% of revenue, for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995.  Research and development expenditures for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 were $7.9 million, or 5.6% of revenue, compared to
$5.6 million, or 4.5% of revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 1995.
The fiscal 1996 third quarter expenditures were fairly even with the
comparative period of fiscal 1995.  The nine month year to year increase in
research and development expenditures was due to the consolidation of Flex
Products and to the  realignment of engineering resources from
manufacturing to new product development programs.

     SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling and administrative expenses in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $8.1 million, or 16.6% of revenue,
compared to $9.7 million, or 20.5% of revenue, for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995.  Selling and administrative expenses for the first nine months
of fiscal 1996 were $27.3 million, or 19.4% of revenue, compared to $28.3
million, or 22.7% of revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The
decreases in the fiscal 1996 three and nine month period selling and
administrative expenses were primarily due to reductions in the year-to-
year selling and administrative expenses of the Company's Glare/Guard
computer display aftermarket business in Europe.



     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  As a result of the foregoing changes in
revenue, gross profit and operating expenses, the Company's income from
operations was $4.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared
to $5.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1995, a decrease of $1.2
million or 23%.  The Company's income from operations totaled $11.5 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to $13.4 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1995, a decrease of $1.8 million or 14%.

     INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Interest income for the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 decreased $75,000, or 59%, compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 1995.  Interest income for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
decreased $358,000, or 65%, compared to the first nine months of fiscal
1995. The decrease in interest income reflects the lower average cash
balances available for investment in the current periods compared to the
year ago periods. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased $145,000, or 15%, compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Interest expense, net of capitalized
interest, for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 decreased $333,000, or
12%, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1995. Most of the decrease
in interest expense resulted from the refinancing of the Company's debt
obligations during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 at more favorable
interest rates and decreased market interest rates on its variable rate
loans.

     INCOME TAXES AND MINORITY INTEREST.  The effective income tax rate was
34% for the third quarter and 39% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
The decrease from the 42% rate in the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 is
due to the recognition of new tax credit provisions under the tax law and
the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards for foreign operations
for which tax benefits had not been provided in prior years.  Minority
interest was $165,000 for the third quarter and $750,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 compared to $443,000 for the comparable periods of
fiscal 1995. The fiscal 1995 third quarter and nine month period minority
interest amount was the same because the Company's ownership increase in
Flex Products took place in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Minority
interest represents the 40% share of Flex Products' net income accruing to
the minority shareholder.

     DIVIDEND ON CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK.  During the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company paid or accrued
$240,000 and $720,000 of dividends on its convertible redeemable preferred
stock, while fiscal 1995 third quarter and first nine months convertible
redeemable preferred stock dividends were $222,000.  The preferred stock
was issued during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 in connection with the
increase in the Company's ownership of Flex Products.

     NET INCOME.  The Company had net income applicable to common stock of
$1.8 million, or $.17 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 1996
compared to $1.9 million, or $.20 per share, for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995.  The Company had net income applicable to common stock of $4.1
million, or $.40 per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
compared to $5.7 million, or $.61 per share, for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1996, the
Company generated $3.0 million and $8.6 million of cash, respectively, from
its operating activities.  Net income, depreciation and amortization
generated $5.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively, in gross cash flow,
while increases in working capital and other operating activities required
$2.6 million and $6.3 million for the fiscal 1996 third quarter and first
nine months respectively.

     The Company's investing activities for the fiscal 1996 third quarter
generated $5.1 million while investing activities in the first nine months
of fiscal 1996 required $5.0 million in cash.  Approximately $7.2 million
and $24.0 million was invested in plant and equipment in the fiscal 1996
third quarter and first nine months respectively, while $12.3 million and
$19.0 million was generated by two equipment sale-leaseback transactions
structured to finance new manufacturing equipment.

     During the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company entered into
two mortgage loan agreements totalling $5.6 million, collateralized by two
newly constructed 72,000 square foot manufacturing facilities located on
the Company's Santa Rosa, California campus. Separately, approximately $1.0
million and $3.9 million of long-term debt and $2.0 million and $1.1
million of a note to the minority stockholder of Flex Products was repaid
during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1996 respectively.

     As a result of these operating, investing and financing activities,
the Company's cash and short-term investment position increased by $5.6
million in the fiscal 1996 third quarter and by $3.5 million during the
first nine months of fiscal 1996.

     The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
Optical Corporation of America ("OCA") wherein the Company will acquire
100% of the outstanding common shares and common share equivalents of OCA
in exchange for approximately 1.9 million shares of OCLI common stock.  The
merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996 and is
anticipated to be accounted for as a "pooling of interests".  For its
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, OCA had unaudited revenues of $29.6
million and unaudited net income of $416,000.
     
     OCA is a privately held corporation which designs and manufactures
optical and electro-optical components and subsystems, including devices
for expanding the capacity of new and existing long distance fiber optic
telecommunications networks.  The merger provides an opportunity for both
companies to leverage their technologies across OCLI's worldwide
manufacturing and distribution channels, provides OCLI with new
capabilities in the design and manufacture of high precision optical
assemblies and, using the leadership position established by OCA, provides
a vehicle for early entry into the rapidly growing market for optical
devices used in fiber optic telecommunications.
     .
     At the end of the third quarter of 1996, the Company had financial
obligations of approximately $1.1 million relating to the expansion of Flex
Products' manufacturing capacity. Other than the commitment for the OCA
merger, the Company has no other major outstanding financial commitments.
     
     Management believes that the cash on hand at July 28, 1996, cash
anticipated to be generated from future operations and the funds available
from revolving credit agreements will be sufficient for the Company to meet
near-term working capital needs, capital expenditures, debt service
requirements,  payment of dividends as declared and any obligations arising
from the merger with OCA.
  
  
  
                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW
                                        

     The July 28, 1996 condensed consolidated financial statements included
in this filing on Form 10-Q have been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche LLP,
independent accountants, in accordance with established professional
standards and procedures for such a review.

     The report of Deloitte & Touche LLP commenting on their review
follows.




INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors
  and Stockholders of
  Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc.
Santa Rosa, California

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 28, 1996, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended July 28, 1996 and July 31,
1995 and the related condensed consolidated statement of stockholders'
equity for the nine-month period ended July 28, 1996.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  We were
furnished with the report of other accountants on their review of the
interim financial information of Flex Products, Inc. (a consolidated
subsidiary), whose total assets constituted 10% of consolidated total
assets at July 28, 1996 and whose total revenues constituted 14% and 15% of
consolidated total revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended July 28, 1996, and 17% and 7% of consolidated total revenues for the
respective three-month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 1995.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists of applying analytical review procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review and the report of other accountants, we are not aware
of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed
consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Optical Coating Laboratory,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated December 18,
1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.  In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31,
1995 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings                                            Page(s)

       During the quarter, SICPA Holding S.A. (SICPA), the 40% joint owner
       of Flex Products, Inc. (Flex Products), filed suit in Delaware
       Chancery Court seeking injunctive and other relief against the
       Registrant, Flex Products and certain of Flex Products' directors.
       In the suit, SICPA alleges that Flex Products cannot proceed with
       an initial public offering of its common stock without the consent
       of SICPA and that SICPA has the right to purchase the Registrant's
       60% ownership of Flex Products pursuant to a call option beginning
       after May 8, 1998.
