                           UNIPHASE CORPORATION
                                     
           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.   Business Activities and Basis of Presentation

     On March 10, 1997, the Company executed a definitive agreement with
IBM Corporation (IBM) and acquired the net assets of Uniphase Laser
Enterprises AG (ULE), formerly the laser operations of IBM's Zurich
Research Laboratory in Switzerland (See Note 7). As a result of the
acquisition, the Company recorded in-process research and development costs
of $33.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 representing the
estimated value of development programs that had not reached technological
feasibility and therefore charged to operations.

     The ULE acquisition prompted a change in the Company's strategic focus
with respect to laser diode based applications, resulting in charges of
$4.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Of the total charges
approximately $1.0 million was recorded in cost of sales as an inventory
write down and  approximately $3.2 million was included in selling, general
and administrative expenses.

     As a result of the acquisition, the Company will consolidate its
European laser research to Switzerland, close Uniphase Lasers Ltd., located
in Rugby, England and consolidate the laser packaging operations of UTP
Fibreoptics resulting in $2.2 million of the charges, including a charge
for the impairment of goodwill (see Note 8). In addition, certain customer
and product strategies at UTP incorporating lower powered amplifiers were
modified resulting in charges of $2.0 million related to the write down of
existing asssets and an increase in inventory reserves.

     The financial information at March 31, 1997 and for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited, but
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information set forth herein, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of  Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.
For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
footnotes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1996
presentation to conform to the fiscal 1997 presentation.

     The results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,
1997 are not necessarily considered indicative of the results to be
expected for any future period or for the entire year.
Note 2.   Inventories

     The components of inventory consist of the following:

(In thousands)                March 31,         June 30,

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

Note 3.   Taxes

     The effective tax rate used for the nine-month period ended March 31,
1997 was 36% applied to income before taxes, exclusive of deductions for
acquired in-process research and development.  This rate is based on the
estimated annual tax rate complying with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company has
established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets generated
in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 due to the uncertainty surrounding the
realization of such assets. Management evaluates on a quarterly basis the
recoverability of the deferred tax assets and the level of the valuation
allowance. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not
that deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be
appropriately reduced with the corresponding credit being first to
intangibles resulting from the ULE acquisition and any excess to income tax
expense.



Note 4.   Earnings per Share

     Net income per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
March 31, 1997 is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding plus primary common share equivalents which have a
dilutive effect on earnings per share.  As the Company incurred a loss in
its most recent fiscal year, common share equivalents have been excluded
from the computation for 1997 as they are antidilutive. Since fully diluted
earnings per share differs from primary earnings per share by less than 3%,
only primary earnings per share is shown below.  Shares and net income used
in the per share computations are as follows:


                                    Three Months     Nine Months Ended
                                       Ended

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

Net income per share              $  (2.08)     0.17      (1.69)    0.43

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on
June 30, 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 primary earnings
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The
impact is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share
for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 1996 of $0.02 and $0.04 per
share, respectively. The Company's primary common share equivalents for the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997, were anti-dilutive and
accordingly there is expected to be no impact on primary income per share.
The Company has not yet determined what the impact of Statement 128 will be
on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share.

Note 5.   Line of Credit

     The Company maintains a $5.0 million revolving bank line of credit
agreement that expires on January 28, 1999.  Advances under the line of
credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at March 31, 1997) and
are secured by inventories and accounts receivable.  Under the terms of
this agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum working
capital, net worth, profitability levels and other specific financial
ratios.  In addition, the line of credit prohibits the payment of cash
dividends and contains certain restrictions on the Company's ability to
lend money or purchase assets or interests in other entities without the
prior written consent of the bank.  There were no borrowings under the line
of credit at March 31, 1997.

     Through the acquisition of UTP Fibreoptics,  the Company assumed
certain previously established lines of credit. All outstanding borrowings
against these lines of credit were paid off in September 1996.

Note 6.   Litigation and Contingencies

     During fiscal 1996, two former employees commenced wrongful
termination actions against the Company.  In September 1996, the Company
received notification of two additional lawsuits from two former employees
alleging fraud and termination in violation of public policy. The Company
believes these claims are without merit and is vigorously defending them.
Even if these claims are adjudicated in favor of the plaintiffs, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
have a material adverse impact on the Company or its operations.

Note 7.   Asset Purchase of Uniphase Laser Enterprises AG

     On March 10, 1997, the Company executed a definitive agreement with
IBM and acquired the net assets of ULE, formerly the laser operations of
IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory in Switzerland. ULE develops, manufactures
and markets semiconductor chips for use in laser telecommunication
applications.The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, and accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements include the operations of ULE subsequent to the date of
acquisition.

     The $45.9 million purchase price consisted of $45 million cash and
acquisition expenses of approximately $900,000.

     The preliminary allocation of ULE's purchase price based on the fair
value of net assets acquired is as follows:


     (In thousands)                           March 31,
                                               1997

     Current assets acquired                   9,078
     Property,  plant and equipment            3,503
     Intangibles, primarily developed          4,768
     technology
     Current liabilities assumed              (3,087)
     Retirement benefits assumed              (1,676)
     Acquired in-process research and        
        development costs                     33,314
                                             --------
     Total purchase price                    $45,900
                                             ========

The purchased intangibles are being amortized over an average estimated
useful life of five years. Pro-forma results of operations as if the
transaction had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 1996 are not shown
as the information is unavailable as of this filing. Pro-forma information
is expected to be included in an amendment to Form 8-K the Company
anticipates filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about
May 23, 1997. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is dependant
upon the Company's final analysis.

Note 8         Goodwill Impairment

     At June 30, 1996, intangible assets included the excess of the
investment in I.E. Optomech ("Optomech") over the fair market value of the
net assets acquired of approximately $527,000.  The intangible asset was
reviewed during the third quarter of 1997 in light of the Company's
acquisition of ULE and the resultant closure of Optomech. This review
suggested that the Optomech intangible asset was impaired, as determined
based on projected cash flows from Optomech over the remaining amortization
period. The cash flow projections take into effect the change in strategic
focus by the Company for semiconductor laser based applications to ULE, the
costs and expected benefit from Optomech products prospectively, and
management's intention to cease capital funding at Optomech. Consequently,
the carrying value of the Optomech intangible asset totaling $477,000 was
written off as a component of operating expenses during the third quarter.
