It is estimated that there are over 50,000 CO₂ laser systems currently deployed in the world. Laser systems meet the demand of manufacturers to reduce part cost and improve quality, as well as augment process precision, speed, throughput, flexibility, repeatability, and automation. CO ₂ lasers offer benefits in a wide variety of cutting, welding, drilling, ablation, cladding, heat treating, and marking applications for materials such as steel alloys, non-ferrous metals, plastics, wood, paper, fiberboard, ceramics and composites. Automobile manufacturers, for example, deploy lasers both to cut body components and to weld those parts together in high-throughput production lines. Manufacturers of motorcycles, lawn mowers and garden tractors cut, trim, and weld metal parts with lasers to reduce post-processing steps and, therefore, lower overall manufacturing costs. Furniture manufacturers utilize lasers because they allow easily reconfigurable, low-cost prototyping and production capabilities for customer-specified designs. In high-speed food and pharmaceutical packaging lines, laser marking provides automated product, date, and lot coding on containers. In addition to being installed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of laser systems in new machine builds, our optical components are purchased as replacement parts by end users of laser machines to maintain proper system performance. We believe that the current addressable market serviced by the II-VI Infrared business is approximately $450 million.

The ability to produce, process and refine these difficult materials and to control the quality and yields is an expertise of the Company. Processing these materials into finished products is also difficult to accomplish; yet the quality and reproducibility of these products are critical to the performance of our customer’s instruments and systems. In the markets we serve there are a limited number of suppliers of many of the components we manufacture, and there are very few industry-standard products.

Our network of worldwide manufacturing sites allows products to be produced in regions that provide cost-effective advantages and enable proximity to our customers. We employ numerous advanced manufacturing technologies and systems at our manufacturing facilities. These include automated Computer Numeric Control optical fabrication, high throughput thin-film coaters, micro precision metrology and custom-engineered automated furnace controls for the crystal growth processes. Manufacturing products for use across the electro-magnetic spectrum requires the capability to repeatedly produce products with high yields to atomic tolerances. We embody a technology and quality mindset that gives our customers the confidence to utilize our products on a just-in-time basis straight into the heart of their production lines.

Sources of Supply

The major raw materials we use include zinc, selenium, hydrogen selenide, hydrogen sulfide, tellurium, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, iridium, platinum, bismuth, silicon, thorium fluoride, antimony, carbon, gallium arsenide, copper, germanium, molybdenum, quartz, optical glass and other materials. Excluding our own production, there are more than two external suppliers for all of the above materials except for zinc selenide, zinc sulfide, hydrogen selenide and thorium fluoride, for each of which there is one proven source of supply outside of the Company’s capabilities. For many materials, we have entered into purchase arrangements whereby suppliers provide discounts for annual volume purchases in excess of specified amounts.

The continued high quality and access to these materials is critical to the stability and predictability of our manufacturing yields. We conduct testing of materials at the onset of the production process. Additional research and capital investment may be needed to better define future starting material specifications. We have not experienced significant production delays due to shortages of materials. However, we do occasionally experience problems associated with vendor supplied materials not meeting contract specifications for quality or purity. A significant failure of our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of necessary high-quality materials on a timely basis could have a materially adverse effect on the results of our operations.

Bookings and Backlog

We define our bookings as customer orders received that are expected to be converted to revenues over the next twelve months. For long-term customer orders, the Company records only those orders which are expected to be converted into revenues within twelve months from the end of the reporting period due to the inherent uncertainty of an order that far in the future. For the year ended June 30, 2008, our bookings, including those bookings converted to revenues prior to year end, were approximately $345 million compared to bookings of approximately $267 million for the year ended June 30, 2007.

We define our backlog as bookings that have not been converted to revenues by the end of the reporting period. Bookings are adjusted if changes in customer demands or production schedules move a delivery beyond twelve months. As of June 30, 2008, our backlog was approximately $134 million compared to approximately $103 million at June 30, 2007.

Employees

As of June 30, 2008, we employed 2,342 persons worldwide. Of these employees, 335 were engaged in research, development and engineering, 1,529 in direct production and the balance in sales and marketing, administration, finance and support services. Our production staff includes highly skilled optical craftsmen. We have a long-standing practice of encouraging active employee participation in areas of operations management. We believe our relations with our employees to be good. We reward our employees with incentive compensation based on achievement of performance goals. 222 employees located in the Philippines are covered under a collective bargaining agreement.

Trade Secrets, Patents and Trademarks

We rely on our trade secrets, proprietary know-how, invention disclosures and patents to help us develop and maintain our competitive position. We have begun to aggressively pursue process and product patents in certain areas of our businesses. We have confidentiality and noncompetition agreements with certain personnel. We require that all U.S. employees sign a confidentiality and noncompetition agreement upon commencement of employment.

The processes and specialized equipment utilized in crystal growth, infrared materials fabrication and infrared optical coatings as developed by us are complex and difficult to duplicate. However, there can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar technology or that all aspects of our proprietary technology will be protected. Others have obtained patents covering a variety of infrared optical configurations and processes, and others could obtain patents covering technology similar to our technology. We may be required to obtain licenses under such patents, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such licenses, if required, on commercially reasonable terms, or that claims regarding rights to technology will not be asserted which may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our research and development contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government present a risk that project-specific technology could be disclosed to competitors as contract reporting requirements are fulfilled.

We currently hold several registered trademarks including the following:

“II-VI Incorporated^(TM)” name

“Infraready Optics^(TM)” for replacement optics for industrial CO₂ lasers

“MP-5^(TM) for low absorption coating technology”

“Marlow Industries, Inc.⁽^TM)” name

“Marlow Industries, Inc.⁽^TM)” trademark

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company cautions investors that its performance and, therefore, any forward-looking statement, is subject to risks and uncertainties. Various important factors including, but not limited to, the following may cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement.

International Sales Account for a Significant Portion of Our Revenues

Sales to customers in countries other than the U.S. accounted for approximately 47%, 43% and 42% of revenues during the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. In addition, we manufacture products in Singapore, China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Germany and maintain direct sales offices in Germany, Japan, Switzerland, the U.K., Belgium, Singapore and China. Sales and operations outside of the U.S. are subject to certain inherent risks, including fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers, political and economic instability, restrictions on the export or import of technology, potentially limited intellectual property protection, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations and potentially adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In particular, currency exchange fluctuations in countries where we do business in the local currency could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition by rendering us less price-competitive than foreign manufacturers. Our sales in Japan are denominated in Yen and, accordingly, are affected by fluctuations in the dollar/Yen currency exchange rates. We generally reduce our exposure to such fluctuations of the Yen through forward exchange agreements which target to hedge approximately 75% of our sales in Japan. We do not engage in the speculative trading of financial derivatives. There can be no assurance, however, that our practices will reduce or eliminate the risk of fluctuation of the U.S. dollar/Japanese Yen exchange rate.

There Are Limitations on the Protection of Our Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws combined with employee non-competition and nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, in the future, third parties will not assert infringement claims against us. Asserting our rights or defending against third-party claims could involve substantial expense, thus materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operations or financial condition. In the event a third party were successful in a claim that one of our processes infringed its proprietary rights, we may have to pay substantial damages or royalties, or expend substantial amounts in order to obtain a license or modify processes so that they no longer infringe such proprietary rights, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We Depend on Highly Complex Manufacturing Processes Which Require Products from Limited Sources of Supply

We utilize high quality, optical grade ZnSe in the production of many of our infrared optical products. We are the leading producer of ZnSe for our internal use and for external sale. The production of ZnSe is a complex process requiring a highly controlled environment. A number of factors, including defective or contaminated materials, could adversely affect our ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields of high quality ZnSe. ZnSe is available from only one outside source whose quantities and qualities may be limited. The unavailability of necessary amounts of high quality ZnSe would have a material adverse effect upon us. There can be no assurance that we will not experience manufacturing yield inefficiencies which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We produce Hydrogen Selenide gas which is used in our production of ZnSe. There are risks inherent in the production and handling of such material. Our inability to effectively handle Hydrogen Selenide could require us to curtail our production of Hydrogen Selenide. Hydrogen Selenide is available from only one outside source whose quantities and qualities may be limited. The cost of purchasing such material is greater than the cost of internal production. As a result, the purchase of a substantial portion of such material from the outside source would increase our ZnSe production costs. Therefore, our inability to internally produce Hydrogen Selenide could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

In addition, we produce and utilize other high purity and relatively uncommon materials and compounds to manufacture our products, including but not limited to ZnS, YAG, YLF, CaF₂, KNS, Ge, Se Te, Bi₂Te₃ and SiC. A significant failure of our internal production processes or our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of these necessary materials on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We May Expand Product Lines and Markets by Acquiring Other Businesses

Our business strategy includes expanding our product lines and markets through internal product development and acquisitions. Any acquisition may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, and amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, acquired businesses may be experiencing operating losses. Any acquisition will involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired company’s operations and products, uncertainties associated with operating in new markets and working with new customers, and the potential loss of the acquired company’s key personnel.

The following information relates to significant acquisitions made since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.


Acquired Party	Year Acquired	Business Segment	Percentage Ownership as of June 30, 2008
Laser Power Corporation	Fiscal 2001	Military & Materials and Infrared Optics	100	%
Silicon Carbide Group of Litton Systems, Inc.	Fiscal 2002	Compound Semiconductor Group	100	%
II-VI Deutschland GmbH	Fiscal 2003 and 2006	Infrared Optics and Near-Infrared Optics	100	%
II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l.	Fiscal 2004 and 2007	Infrared Optics	100	%
Ultra-violet Filter Product Line of Coherent, Inc.	Fiscal 2004	Near-Infrared Optics	100	%
Marlow Industries, Inc.	Fiscal 2005	Compound Semiconductor Group	100	%
Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc.	Fiscal 2007	Military & Materials	98	%
HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH	Fiscal 2008	Infrared Optics	75	%

Exposure to Government Markets

With the acquisition of Marlow and the increase in the military portion of our Infrared and Near-Infrared Optics businesses, as well as our continued Military Infrared Optics business, sales to customers in the defense industry have increased and totaled approximately 30% of revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. These customers in turn generally contract with a governmental entity, typically the U.S. government. Most governmental programs are subject to funding approval and can be modified or terminated with no warning upon the determination of a legislative or administrative body. The loss or failure to obtain certain contracts or a loss of a major government customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Some Systems Are Complex in Design and May Contain Defects that Are Not Detected Until Deployed Which Could Increase Our Costs and Reduce Our Revenues

Some systems that utilize our products are inherently complex in design and require ongoing maintenance. As a result of the technical complexity of our products, changes in our or our suppliers’ manufacturing processes or in the use of defective or contaminated materials by us or our suppliers could result in a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields and product reliability. To the extent that we do not achieve acceptable yields or product reliability, our business, operating results, financial condition and customer relationships could be adversely affected.

Our customers may discover defects in our products after the products have been fully deployed and operated under peak stress conditions. In addition, some of our products are combined with products from other vendors, which may contain defects. Should problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. If we are unable to fix defects or other problems, we could experience, among other things: loss of customers; increased costs of product returns and warranty expenses; damage to our brand reputation; failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance; diversion of development and engineering resources; or legal action by our customers. The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We May Encounter Substantial Competition

We may encounter substantial competition from other companies in the same market, including established companies with significant resources. Some of our competitors may have financial, technical, marketing or other capabilities more extensive than ours and may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and other competitive pressures. We may not be able to compete successfully against our present or future competitors, and competition may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Success Depends on the Ability to Retain Key Personnel

We are highly dependent upon the experience and continuing services of certain scientists, engineers, production and management personnel. Competition for the services of these personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain or attract the personnel necessary for our success. The loss of the services of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

A Significant Portion of Our Business is Dependent on Other Cyclical Industries

Our business is significantly dependent on the demand for products produced by end-users of industrial lasers. Many of these end-users are in industries that historically have experienced a highly cyclical demand for their products. As a result, demand for our products is subject to cyclical fluctuations. This cyclical demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Revenues May Suffer if General Economic Conditions Worsen

Our revenues and earnings may be affected by general economic factors, such as inflation, currency fluctuations and employment levels, resulting in a temporary or longer-term overall decline in demand for our products. Therefore, any significant downturn or recession in the U.S. or other countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Revenues are Subject to Potential Seasonal Fluctuations

Due to our customers’ buying patterns, particularly in Europe, revenues for our first fiscal quarter ending in September could be below those in the preceding quarter.

Our Success Depends on New Products and Processes

In order to meet our strategic objectives, we must continue to develop, manufacture and market new products, develop new processes and improve existing processes. As a result, we expect to continue to make significant investments in research and

development and to continue to consider from time to time the strategic acquisition of businesses, products, or technologies complementary to our business. Our success in developing, introducing and selling new and enhanced products depends upon a variety of factors including product selection, timely and efficient completion of product design and development, timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing and assembly processes, effective sales and marketing, and product performance in the field. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to our existing products and processes in a manner which satisfies customer needs or achieves market acceptance. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

Keeping Pace with Key Industry Developments is Essential

We are engaged in industries which will be affected by future developments. The introduction of products or processes utilizing new developments could render existing products or processes obsolete or unmarketable. Our continued success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce on a timely and cost-effective basis new products, processes and applications that keep pace with developments and address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, developing and marketing new products, applications and processes and that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of product or process enhancements or new products, applications or processes, or that our products, applications or processes will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected if we were to incur delays in developing new products, applications or processes or if we did not gain market acceptance for the same.

Declines in the Operating Performance of one of Our Business Segments Could Result in an Impairment of the Segment’s Goodwill

As of June 30, 2008 we had goodwill of approximately $26.5 million in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We test our goodwill on an annual basis or when an indication of possible impairment exists in order to determine whether the carrying value of our assets is still supported by the fair value of the underlying business. To the extent that it is not, we are required to record an impairment charge to reduce the asset to fair value. A decline in the operating performance of any of our business segments could result in a goodwill impairment charge which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws May Limit the Price that Investors May be Willing to Pay in the Future for Shares of Our Common Stock

Our articles of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions which could make us a less attractive target for a hostile takeover or make more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, a tender offer or a proxy contest. The provisions include: classification of the board of directors into three classes; a procedure which requires shareholders or the board of directors to nominate directors in advance of a meeting to elect such directors; the ability of the board of directors to issue additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock without shareholder approval; and certain provisions requiring supermajority approval (at least two-thirds of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class). In addition, the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law contains provisions which may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. All of these may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay for shares of our Common Stock.

We Are Subject to Stringent Environmental Regulation

We use or generate certain hazardous substances in our research and manufacturing facilities. We believe that our handling of such substances is in material compliance with applicable local, state and federal environmental, safety and health regulations at each operating location. We invest substantially in proper protective equipment, process controls and specialized training to minimize risks to employees, surrounding communities and the environment resulting from the presence and handling of such hazardous substances. We regularly conduct employee physical examinations and workplace monitoring regarding such substances. When exposure problems or potential exposure problems have been uncovered, corrective actions have been implemented and re-occurrence has been minimal or non-existent. We do not carry environmental impairment insurance.

Relative to the generation and use of the hazardous substance Hydrogen Selenide, we have in place an emergency response plan. Special attention has been given to all procedures pertaining to this gaseous material to minimize the chances of its accidental release into the atmosphere.

With respect to the manufacturing, use, storage and disposal of the low-level radioactive material Thorium Fluoride, our facilities and procedures have been inspected and licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thorium-bearing by-products are collected and shipped as solid waste to a government-approved low-level radioactive waste disposal site in Clive, Utah.

The generation, use, collection, storage and disposal of all other hazardous by-products, such as suspended solids containing heavy metals or airborne particulates, are believed by us to be in material compliance with regulations. We believe that all of the permits and licenses required for operation of our business are in place.

Although we do not know of any material environmental, safety or health problems in our properties or processes, there can be no assurance that problems will not develop in the future which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard only applies when other standards require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. It does not increase the use of fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Company’s financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in the Company’s income and comprehensive income. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) established principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for the Company’s business combinations occurring on or after July 1, 2009.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which required enhanced disclosures on the effect of derivatives on a company’s financial statements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” or similar expressions. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including risk factors described in the Risk Factors set forth in this Item 1A, which are incorporated herein by reference.

OVERVIEW

The Company generates revenues, earnings and cash flows from developing, manufacturing and marketing high technology materials and derivative products for precision use in industrial, medical, military, security and aerospace applications. We also generate revenue, earnings and cash flows from external customer and government funded research and development contracts relating to the development and manufacture of new technologies, materials and products.

Our customer base includes OEM, laser end users, system integrators of high-power lasers, manufacturers of equipment and devices for industrial, military, medical, U.S. government prime contractors, various U.S. government agencies and thermo-electric integrators.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of long-lived assets including acquired intangibles and goodwill, accrual of bonus and profit sharing estimates, accrual of income tax liability estimates, accounting for share-based compensation and self-insurance for workers’ compensation. Management believes these estimates to be critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the foregoing disclosure. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is established or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue for all business segments, other than for contract research and development, is recognized from the sale of products at the point of passage of title, which is generally at the time of shipment. The Company considers the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), which superseded SAB 101.

The Company performs research and development under contract agreements with customers based on cost plus fixed fee, cost reimbursable or fixed fee terms. These contracts generally require the Company to produce and provide developmental materials and/or products to those customers. Revenues from cost plus fixed fee and cost reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are incurred.

The Company follows the guidelines of Statement of Position 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction–Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” for our fixed fee contracts. Revenue and profits on each fixed fee contract are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby revenue and profits are recognized throughout the performance period of the contract. Percentage-of-completion is determined by relating the actual cost of work performed to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. The estimated total cost for each contract is periodically reevaluated and revised, when necessary, throughout the life of the contract. Losses on contracts are recorded in full when identified.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and believes the collection of revenues, net of these reserves, is reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate for potential non-collection of accounts receivable based on historical experience. The Company has not experienced a non-collection of accounts receivable materially affecting its financial position or results of operations as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate causing an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions for bad debts may be required in future periods.

The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a historical percentage of revenues utilizing actual returns over a period that approximates historical warranty experience. If actual returns in the future are not consistent with the historical data used to calculate these estimates, additional warranty reserves could be required.

The Company records a slow moving inventory reserve as a charge against earnings for all products on hand more than twelve months to eighteen months depending on the products that have not been sold to customers or cannot be further manufactured for sale to alternative customers. An additional reserve is recorded for product on hand that is in excess of product sold to customers over the same periods noted above. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projected, additional inventory reserves may be required.

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The determination of related estimated useful lives of other intangible assets and whether goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles are impaired involves judgments based upon long-term projections of future performance. Estimates of fair value are based on our projection of revenues, operating costs, and cash flows of each reporting unit considering historical and anticipated results, general economic and market conditions as well as the impact of planned business or operational strategies. The valuations may employ a combination of present value techniques to measure fair value and consider market factors. The annual goodwill impairment analysis considers the financial projections of the reporting unit based on the most recently completed budgeting and long-term strategic planning processes and also considers the current financial performance compared to the prior projections of the reporting unit. Changes in our financial performance, judgments and projections could result in an impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets.

As a result of the purchase price allocations from our prior acquisitions and due to our decentralized structure, our goodwill is included in multiple reporting units. Due to the cyclical nature of our business, and the other factors described under “Risk Factors” herein, the profitability of our individual reporting units may periodically suffer from downturns in customer demand, operational challenges and other factors. These factors may have a relatively more pronounced impact on the individual reporting units as compared to the Company as a whole and might adversely affect the fair value of the reporting units. If material adverse conditions occur that impact our reporting units, our determination of future fair value may not support the carrying amount of one or more of our reporting units, and the related goodwill would need to be written down.

The Company records certain bonus and profit sharing estimates as a charge against earnings. These estimates are adjusted to actual based on final results of operations achieved during the fiscal year. Certain partial bonus amounts are paid quarterly based on interim Company performance, and the remainder is paid after fiscal year end and final determination of the applicable percentage. Other bonuses are paid annually.

The Company prepares and files tax returns based on its interpretation of tax laws and regulations and records estimates based on these judgments and interpretations. In the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities, which may result in future tax, interest, and penalty assessments by these authorities. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of many tax positions due to changes in tax law resulting from legislation, regulation and/or as concluded through the various jurisdictions’ tax court systems. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more

likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted for changes in facts and circumstances. For example, adjustments could result from significant amendments to existing tax law and the issuance of regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. The Company believes that its estimates for uncertain tax positions are appropriate and sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examinations of its tax returns. The Company recognizes both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The Company has recorded valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets primarily those that have been generated from net operating losses in certain taxing jurisdictions. In evaluating whether the Company would more likely than not recover these deferred tax assets, it has not assumed any future taxable income or tax planning strategies in the jurisdictions associated with these carryforwards where history does not support such an assumption. Implementation of tax planning strategies to recover these deferred tax assets or future income generation in these jurisdictions could lead to the reversal of these valuation allowances and a reduction of income tax expense.

The Company believes that its estimates for the uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), (“SFAS 123(R)”) “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation in earnings. The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123(R). Under this method, all prior period financial statements were restated effective July 1, 2005 to recognize share-based compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its share-based compensation.

The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to workers’ compensation for its U.S. employees. Additionally, third-party insurance is obtained to limit our exposure to these claims in excess of $0.4 million per occurrence and $1.0 million in the aggregate per policy year. When estimating the self-insurance liability, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and valuations provided by independent third party consultants. Periodically, management reviews its assumptions and the valuations to determine the adequacy of the self-insurance liability.

The Company intends to sell its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation sensor business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc., which operates as a business within the Compound Semiconductor Group. Management’s Discussion and Analysis information for all periods presented herein account for eV PRODUCTS, Inc. as a discontinued operation.

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Overview (millions except per share data)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2008		2007		% Increase
Bookings	$	345.3	$	266.6	30	%
Revenues		316.2		254.7	24	%
Net earnings		65.7		38.4	71	%
Diluted earnings per share		2.16		1.27	70	%

The results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008 include Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc. (PRM) for 12 months and HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie (HIGHYAG) for six months of fiscal 2008 as this acquisition was completed in January 2008. Neither of these businesses are included in the results of continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

BOOKINGS Bookings from continuing operations increased 30% to $345.3 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $266.6 million in fiscal 2007. All of the Company’s operating segments experienced booking increases during fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007. Numerous factors have contributed to the overall increased level of bookings including:

•

The Company’s Near-Infrared Optics segment experienced bookings growth of approximately 33% during the current fiscal year primarily due to increased bookings for the segment’s UV Filter, YAG and optics product lines. The segment has experienced increased demand for optics used in medical and cosmetic laser applications.

•

The Infrared Optics segment has continued to benefit from the proliferation of laser systems worldwide resulting in increased demand from both OEM and aftermarket customers worldwide.

•

Marlow Industries in the Compound Semiconductor Group experienced a 22% increase in bookings in fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 due to penetration into the thermoelectric industrial markets as a result of Marlow’s competitive cost structure from its utilization of their Vietnam manufacturing base.

•

Bookings for the Company’s recent acquisitions, PRM and HIGHYAG, were approximately $35 million.

The Company’s order backlog at June 30, 2008 of $134 million has increased 30% from the backlog at June 30, 2007 as a result of strong product demands across all of the Company’s operating segments. The Company has positioned itself in fiscal year 2009 to capitalize on the increased product demands in conjunction with its increased manufacturing capacity and capabilities addressed during fiscal years 2008 and 2007 at our worldwide production plants.

REVENUES Revenues from continuing operations increased 24% to $316.2 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $254.7 million in fiscal 2007. Revenue increased in fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007 in all of the Company’s operating units in correlation with the strong bookings performance in fiscal year 2008. The Company’s Marlow operating unit contributed to this increase, with revenue increases of 22% in fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007 driven by growing worldwide product acceptance. The Company has also benefited in fiscal year 2008 from strong product demand in the Company’s Infrared Optics segment as the result of increased market share in peripheral and beam-steering optics for via-hole drilling of microelectronics for handheld consumer electronics. Revenues for the Company’s recent acquisitions, PRM and HIGHYAG, were approximately $25 million in fiscal 2008.

NET EARNINGS Net earnings for continuing operations increased 71% in fiscal 2008 to $65.7 million ($2.16 per share-diluted) from $38.4 million ($1.27 per share-diluted) in fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008, the Company sold its equity interest in a Canadian company, 5NPlus, Inc., for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded an after-tax gain of $15.9 million or $0.52 per share-diluted. In addition to the gain on the sale of 5NPlus, the increase in net earnings were attributable to other factors including increased margins recognized on higher revenues recorded across the Company’s operating segments, improved operational improvements in

the Military and Materials segment relating to higher production yields and lower scrap expense, increased utilization of the Company’s Vietnam manufacturing base which operates at a reduced cost structure and lower interest expense relating to the Company’s lower borrowing base. The acquisition of PRM also favorably impacted net earnings during fiscal 2008.

SEGMENTS Bookings, revenues and segment earnings for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Segment earnings differ from income from operations in that segment earnings excludes certain operational expenses included in other expense – net as reported. Management believes segment earnings to be a useful measure as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control and is used by management in its evaluation of segment performance. See also Note M to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s reportable segments.

Infrared Optics (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2008		2007		% Increase
Bookings	$	161.7	$	134.6	20	%
Revenues		151.9		132.8	14	%
Segment earnings		36.2		35.7	1	%

The Company’s Infrared Optics segment includes the combined operations of II-VI Infrared and HIGHYAG. The results of operations include HIGHYAG for six months of fiscal 2008 as this acquisition was completed in January 2008.

Bookings for fiscal 2008 for Infrared Optics increased 20% to $161.7 million from $134.6 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in bookings for fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 was primarily driven by increased growth and utilization in the CO₂ laser markets as more lasers are introduced into the world’s economy. This growth has led to increased worldwide demand of the segment’s product offerings. In particular, the segment experienced increased orders from Asian OEM’s in Japan and China. In addition, the segment is continually benefiting from increased requirements for replacement optics from aftermarket customers due to increased utilization of lasers in the workplace.

Revenues for fiscal 2008 for Infrared Optics increased 14% to $151.9 million from $132.8 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues for fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last fiscal year was driven by increased product demand from both OEM and aftermarket customers. The segment continues to develop incremental opportunities in both high-power and low-power CO₂ laser optics and components to capture developing new markets and new laser applications.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2008 increased 1% to $36.2 million compared to $35.7 million in fiscal 2007. Segment earnings increased for fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last fiscal year but not at a comparable rate of the growth in revenues. The rate of earnings growth was impacted by yield and production capacity limitations in the segment’s material production operations. The segment has been addressing these issues over the last two fiscal years and management believes they have substantially identified and corrected the issues that impacted yields. During fiscal 2008, the segment has added additional furnaces into the manufacturing process to help address the capacity and yield challenges. The Company believes the added material capacity will help address the segment’s increased product demand and help improve profitability in fiscal 2009.

Near-Infrared Optics (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2008		2007		% Increase
Bookings	$	65.9	$	49.5	33	%
Revenues		58.7		50.3	17	%
Segment earnings		11.9		6.8	75	%

Bookings for fiscal 2008 for Near-Infrared Optics increased 33% to $65.9 million from $49.5 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in bookings for fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last fiscal year was the result of approximately $8.4 million of increased orders for the segment’s UV Filter assemblies. In addition, the segment experienced strong product orders during the current fiscal year for their YAG and optics product lines for use in medical and cosmetic laser applications including laser eye surgery.

Revenues for fiscal 2008 for Near-Infrared Optics increased 17% to $58.7 million compared to $50.3 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues for fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last year were primarily related to increased volume of shipments of UV Filter assemblies based upon the customer’s scheduled requirements. In addition, the segment has recognized increased revenues from its YAG and optics product lines relating to medical and cosmetic laser applications. The Company is anticipating a slow-down of UV Filter requirements in fiscal year 2009 and has been adjusting its production operations in anticipation of this event.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2008 increased 75% to $11.9 million from $6.8 million in fiscal 2007. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily due to increased margins recognized on the additional sales volume attributed to the UV Filter product line. In addition, the Company has increased its utilization of its Vietnam manufacturing base which operates under a reduced cost structure.

Military & Materials (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2008		2007		% Increase
Bookings	$	61.9	$	30.3	104	%
Revenues		50.5		27.1	86	%
Segment earnings		7.1		2.5	180	%

The Company’s Military & Materials segment includes the combined operations of Exotic Electro-Optics (EEO) and PRM. The results of operations include PRM for fiscal 2008 only as this acquisition was completed June 26, 2007.

Bookings for fiscal 2008 for Military & Materials increased 104% to $61.9 million from $30.3 million in fiscal 2007. Included in bookings for fiscal 2008 were approximately $29 million from PRM. Excluding PRM, bookings increased in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year due to increased orders of sapphire window shrouds for the Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod which is flown on the F-15 and F-16 fighter aircrafts.

Revenues for fiscal 2008 for Military & Materials increased 86% to $50.5 million compared to $27.1 million in fiscal 2007. Included in revenues for fiscal 2008 were approximately $20 million from PRM. Excluding PRM, revenues increased in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year due to increased orders of sapphire window shrouds for the Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod and increased contract revenue associated with the System Design and Development contract for sapphire window panels for the Joint Strike Fighter Electro Optical Targeting System.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2008 increased 180% to $7.1 million from $2.5 million in fiscal 2007. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily driven by continued operational improvements at EEO resulting in increased manufacturing yields and lower scrap and rework costs and a product mix focusing on higher margin products. In addition, segment earnings for fiscal year 2008 were favorably impacted by the earnings of PRM.

Compound Semiconductor Group (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2008		2007		% Increase
Bookings	$	55.8	$	52.2	7	%
Revenues		55.1		44.6	24	%
Segment earnings		6.5		4.0	65	%

The Compound Semiconductor Group includes the combined operations of Marlow Industries, the Wide Bandgap Group (WBG) and the Worldwide Materials Group (WMG).

Bookings for fiscal 2008 from these operations increased 7% to $55.8 million as compared to $52.2 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in bookings in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily due to Marlow which recorded a 22% increase in bookings over fiscal 2007 amounts. This increase was primarily attributed to increased product demands from industrial customers due to Marlow’s competitive cost structure resulting from the utilization of its Vietnam manufacturing base. The increase in bookings for the segment was offset by a decrease in bookings from the segment’s WBG Group resulting from less government contract bookings in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.

Revenues for fiscal 2008 from these operations increased 24% to $55.1 million compared to $44.6 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues in the current fiscal year compared to last fiscal year was due to increased shipments by the Marlow and WBG businesses. During fiscal 2008, WBG has benefited from increased commercial acceptance of its product offerings as they continue to improve manufacturing yields on larger diameter SiC crystal products. The yield improvements have translated into higher shipments and longer-term purchasing commitments from the Group’s customer base. Marlow’s revenue increase was due to continued worldwide product acceptance in the industrial, defense and medical markets.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2008 from these operations of $6.5 million increased 65% from the segment earnings of $4.0 million in fiscal 2007. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2008 was a combination of increased margins recognized on the incremental sales volume as well as increased utilization of Marlow’s Vietnam manufacturing facility contributing to lower manufacturing costs.

Costs and Expenses

Manufacturing gross margin, which is defined as net domestic and international revenues less cost of goods sold, for fiscal 2008 was $127.4 million or 42% of revenues compared to $105.3 million or 43% of revenues in fiscal 2007. The decrease in manufacturing gross margins for fiscal 2008 compared to last fiscal year was primarily attributed to the impact of the Company’s recent acquisitions, PRM and HIGHYAG, which have lower gross margins in comparison to the Company’s historical margins. In addition, the margin was also negatively impacted by yield and capacity challenges in the Company’s Infrared Optics segment. The Infrared Optics segment has added additional material growth capacity and the Company believes the margins will improve in fiscal year 2009.

Contract research and development gross margin, which is calculated as contract research and development revenues less contract research and development expenses, for fiscal 2008 was $2.8 million or 23% revenues compared to a gross margin of $2.9 million or 26% of revenues for fiscal 2007. Contract revenues increased approximately $1.1 million in fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last fiscal year due to increased contract activity in the Military and Materials and Compound Semiconductor segments. Contract gross margin was negatively impacted in fiscal 2008 primarily due to change in the mix of contracts compared to the prior fiscal year. The contract research and development revenues and costs are a result of development efforts in the Compound Semiconductor, Near-Infrared Optics and the Military segments. Contract research and development gross margin is a result of a blend of cost plus fixed fee, cost reimbursement and fixed fee contract activities.

Company-funded internal research and development expenses for fiscal 2008 were $7.7 million or 2% of total revenues compared to $5.8 million or 2% of total revenues, for fiscal 2007. The dollar increase in internal research and development expense during fiscal 2008 compared to the last fiscal year was due to increased internal research and development in the Company’s Compound Semiconductor Group and the Military and Materials segment. The Compound Semiconductor Group segment has focused their internal research and development in the areas of material growth, yield improvements and quality control processes. The Military and Materials segment has focused on increased military research and development activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2008 were $60.8 million or 19% of total revenues compared to $53.4 million or 21% of total revenues for fiscal 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the inclusion of PRM’s financial results for fiscal 2008. The inclusion of PRM has lowered this metric due to the historical lower overhead requirements of this operation compared to the Company’s historical selling, general and administrative expense percentage. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s employment levels and other administrative costs to support the increased sales volume.

Interest expense for fiscal 2008 was $0.2 million compared to $1.0 million for fiscal 2007. The decrease in interest expense for the current fiscal year as compared to the last fiscal year was due to the reduction in the Company’s outstanding debt levels between these two periods.

Other income for fiscal 2008 was approximately $2.7 million and was consistent with other income in fiscal 2007. Other income for both fiscal years 2008 and 2007 consists primarily of foreign currency gains realized from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Company’s foreign currencies as well as interest income earned on the Company’s cash reserves.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company sold its equity interest in 5NPlus, for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded a pre-tax gain of $26.5 million.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for fiscal 2008 was 27.5% compared to the income tax rate for fiscal 2007 of 24.2%. The higher tax rate for the current fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily due to the income taxes on the gain from the sale of 5NPlus equity investment. Excluding the income taxes on the gain from the sale of the 5NPlus equity investment, the effective income tax rate for fiscal 2008 was approximately 22%. The decrease in the adjusted effective tax rate in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to higher earnings in fiscal 2008 in lower tax foreign jurisdictions.

Results for the year ended June 30, 2008 and all comparative financial data included herein reflect the presentation of eV PRODUCTS as a discontinued operation. Losses from discontinued operation for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Overview (millions except per share data)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2007		2006		% Increase
Bookings	$	266.6	$	235.3	13	%
Revenues		254.7		223.6	14	%
Net earnings		38.4		11.1	247	%
Diluted earnings per share		1.27		0.37	243	%

BOOKINGS Bookings increased 13% to $266.6 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $235.3 million in fiscal 2006. Order backlog increased to $103.4 million at June 30, 2007 and included backlog of $11.7 million from the acquisition of PRM. Several factors contributed to the increase in bookings in all segments of the Company during fiscal 2007, in particular:

•

Success in meeting the required ramp-up of deliveries of Ultra-violet (UV) Filter assemblies from our Near-Infrared Optics segment has allowed the Company to continue to win additional orders for this important defense system resulting in an 80% increase in UV Filter bookings in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

•

Improvement gains in SiC crystal growth quality, yield and manufacturing from our Compound Semiconductor Group has allowed the Company to win significant contract bookings to further develop and manufacture substrates for the power electronics market resulting in a 76% increase in contract bookings in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

•

Exceptional growth in China across multiple segments has resulted in a doubling of the bookings rate in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

•

Worldwide demand from builders of both high and low power industrial lasers and systems remained strong in fiscal 2007 resulting in a 10% growth in bookings for our Infrared Optics segment in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

REVENUES Revenues increased 14% to $254.7 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $223.6 million in fiscal 2006. Revenues grew in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006 in the majority of the Company’s business segments in line with the strong order bookings experienced in the markets that the Company serves. The Company’s Near-Infrared Optics segment led this increase, with revenue increases of 48% in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006. This segment’s UV Filter product line has significantly increased shipments during the current fiscal year and has successfully ramped-up its capacity to meet a customer’s continued higher demands. Strong demand from laser system builders particularly in Japan and North America for products of our Infrared Optics segment resulted in increased shipments during fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

NET EARNINGS Net earnings increased 247% in fiscal 2007 to $38.4 million ($1.27 per share-diluted) from $11.1 million ($0.37 per share-diluted) in fiscal 2006. Net earnings for the year ended June 30, 2006 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $17.6 million ($0.59 per share-diluted). All of the Company’s business segments experienced improved net earnings in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006. In particular, productivity improvements, increased yields and lower rework costs resulted in the most significant earnings improvement in our Military & Materials business segment. The Company’s continued ability to control costs and improve productivity yields in most of the Company’s segments also contributed to the improved net earnings. The increase in net earnings in the Company’s Infrared Optics segment lagged behind the Company’s other business segments earnings gains due to certain process and capacity challenges in the segment’s material growth area. Finally, net earnings were improved due to a generation of income from more foreign sources which is taxed at a lower rate. The favorable mix of foreign versus domestic profits in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006 resulted in an overall decrease in the worldwide effective tax rate.

Infrared Optics (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2007		2006		% Increase
Bookings	$	134.6	$	122.2	10	%
Revenues		132.8		120.4	10	%
Segment earnings		35.7		34.5	3	%

Bookings for fiscal 2007 for Infrared Optics increased 10% to $134.6 million from $122.2 million in fiscal 2006. Builders of high and low power lasers and systems continue to demand optical components for the expanding worldwide base of laser systems. Infrared optics orders to customers in China experienced exceptional growth in fiscal 2007, more than doubling over the last fiscal year. Bookings from each of our European sales offices in fiscal 2007 exceeded the order bookings in fiscal 2006. In addition, the segment benefited from increased requirements of replacement optics from aftermarket customers as more laser systems are being deployed in more applications. The increases in bookings for optics were partially offset by the segment’s decrease of approximately $5 million of zinc-based material bookings in fiscal 2007 compared to the same period last fiscal year as a result of zinc material and capacity constraints.

Revenues for fiscal 2007 for Infrared Optics increased 10% to $132.8 million from $120.4 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in revenues for fiscal 2007 compared to the same period last fiscal year was driven by increased shipment volume to both OEM and aftermarket customers. We operated at full capacity to serve our infrared optics customers which increased our optics revenue in fiscal 2007, but this increase in revenue was partially offset by lower shipments of infrared optics material due to yield and capacity constraints.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2007 increased 3% to $35.7 million compared to $34.5 million in fiscal 2006. Segment earnings for fiscal 2007 increased compared to the same period last fiscal year, but not at the comparable rate as the revenues increase during this same period. The decrease in the rate of earnings growth was primarily due to yield and production capacity limitations in the segment’s material production operations. In addition, the earnings growth rate was inhibited by higher raw material costs and increased investments in internal research and development. The segment is in the process of aggressively addressing its yield issues as well as expanding its material growth capacity to capitalize on the increased product demands.

Near-Infrared Optics (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2007		2006		% Increase
Bookings	$	49.5	$	41.7	19	%
Revenues		50.3		34.0	48	%
Segment earnings		6.8		2.1	224	%

Bookings for fiscal 2007 for Near-Infrared Optics increased 19% to $49.5 million from $41.7 million in fiscal 2006. Strong order bookings in fiscal year 2007 were the direct result of the Near-Infrared Optics segment’s ability to meet the required ramp-up of deliveries of UV Filter assemblies for this important defense system application resulting in an 80% increase in UV Filter bookings in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.

Revenues for fiscal 2007 for Near-Infrared Optics increased 48% to $50.3 million compared to $34.0 million in fiscal 2006. The significant increase was primarily due to increased shipments of UV Filter assemblies during the current fiscal year as compared to the same period last fiscal year. In the prior year, certain UV Filter revenues of approximately $2.6 million were deferred in accordance with revenue recognition principles in connection with a contract entered into during fiscal 2006. By March 31, 2007, this entire UV Filter inventory had been shipped to the customer and the segment has recognized the prior year’s deferral of revenues in the current fiscal year.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2007 increased 224% to $6.8 million from $2.1 million in fiscal 2006. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the increased margins recognized on the additional sales volume attributed to the UV Filter product line. The increase in year over year segment earnings was tempered, however, by certain thin-film coating challenges relating to product yields experienced in the non-UV Filter product lines.

Military & Materials (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,					% Increase/ (Decrease)
	2007		2006			% Increase/ (Decrease)
Bookings	$	30.3	$	27.5		10	%
Revenues		27.1		29.4		(8	)%
Segment earnings (loss)		2.5		(17.5	)	N/A

The above operating results for the Military & Materials segment for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 do not include PRM as this acquisition did not occur until June 26, 2007.

Bookings for fiscal 2007 for Military & Materials increased 10% to $30.3 million from $27.5 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in bookings for fiscal 2007 as compared to the same period last year was the result of attaining sole-source or leading provider-source status with our defense program customers. Significant bookings were received to supply infrared windows and other related products for both the Arrowhead and Apache defense related programs.

Revenues for fiscal 2007 for Military & Materials decreased 8% to $27.1 million compared to $29.4 million in fiscal 2006. The decrease in revenues for fiscal 2007 compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily due to completion of the segment’s Javelin missile dome product line in fiscal year 2007 as well as delayed shipments of customer supplied components for the ATP Sniper targeting pod. For fiscal 2007, the Military & Materials segment focused efforts on manufacturing improvements, reducing scrap loss and increasing existing customer confidence on core product lines rather than emphasizing revenues growth. The impact of this strategy in fiscal 2007 resulted in improved quality and on-time delivery to the customer and improved profitability.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2007 increased to $2.5 million from a segment loss of $17.5 million in fiscal 2006. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2007 compared to the same period last fiscal year was driven by increased manufacturing yields resulting in lower scrap and rework costs, certain productivity improvements in selected operational departments and a favorable product mix towards higher margin products. The improvement in profitability was the result of a focused effort on process improvements to lower production costs on the segment’s major product lines. In fiscal 2006, the segment’s goodwill was determined to be impaired based upon the completion of the annual goodwill impairment analysis resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $17.6 million.

Compound Semiconductor Group (millions)


	Year Ended June 30,				% Increase
	2007		2006		% Increase
Bookings	$	52.2	$	43.8	19	%
Revenues		44.6		39.9	12	%
Segment earnings		4.0		2.5	60	%

The Compound Semiconductor Group includes the combined operations of Marlow, the WBG Group and the WMG group.

Bookings for fiscal 2007 from these operations increased 19% to $52.2 million as compared to $43.8 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in bookings for fiscal 2007 was the result of order growth by all of the segment’s businesses. The Compound Semiconductor Group’s WBG business saw the highest year over year percentage increase winning contract orders focusing on further development and manufacturing capability of three inch, 4H substrates to service the power electronics industry. The Compound Semiconductor Group’s Marlow bookings increase was primarily driven by the receipt of several large defense orders and stronger demand in the medical product related market.

Revenues for fiscal 2007 from these operations increased 12% to $44.6 million compared to $39.9 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in revenues for fiscal 2007 was primarily driven by the increased shipments by the WBG and Marlow businesses. Fiscal 2007 saw increased demand for SiC crystal products manufactured by WBG, resulting in higher shipments and a more uniform factory loading as customers provided improved visibility by committing to longer-term purchasing agreements.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2007 of $4.0 million increased 60% from the segment earnings of $2.5 million in fiscal 2006. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2007 was primarily due to increased margins recognized on the incremental sales volume as well as increased production capacity and capabilities at Marlow’s Vietnam manufacturing facility, which has resulted in the lowering of Marlow’s worldwide production cost structure. Additionally, internal research and development expenses decreased approximately 14% during the current fiscal year as compared to last fiscal year due to a higher rate of internal use of personnel to support increased external contract activities. Lastly, segment earnings improvements were realized as investments in infrastructure, capital equipment and human resources made steady progress at the WBG production facility in Mississippi.

Costs and Expenses

The following costs and expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007 do not include PRM as this acquisition did not occur until June 26, 2007.

Manufacturing gross margin, which is defined as net domestic and international revenues less cost of goods sold, for fiscal 2007 was $105.3 million or 43% of revenues compared to $89.1 million or 41% of revenues in fiscal 2006. The improvement in gross margin during fiscal 2007 was attributed to several factors. Operational improvements resulting in increased gross margins of approximately 75% in the Military and Materials segment resulted from productivity and yield improvements, lower scrap and rework costs, and a more profitable product mix. The increased utilization of Vietnam manufacturing for both the Compound Semiconductor Group and Near-Infrared Optics segments has lowered worldwide cost structures. Additionally, incremental margins resulting from the increased volume of shipments from the majority of the Company’s businesses have also impacted gross margins favorably. The increase in the gross margin was partially offset by yield and production capacity challenges relating to the Infrared Optics segment’s material production operations.

Company-funded internal research and development expenses for fiscal 2007 were $5.8 million or 2% of total revenues compared to $5.9 million or 3% of total revenues for fiscal 2006. The decrease in internal research and development expenses during fiscal 2007 was due to a higher rate of internal use of personnel from the Compound Semiconductor Group allocated in support of increased external contract activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2007 were $53.4 million or 21% of total revenues compared to $46.3 million or 21% of total revenues for fiscal 2006. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs compared to the same periods last fiscal year was primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s employment levels and other administrative costs to support the increased sales volume.

Interest expense for fiscal 2007 was $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million for fiscal 2006. The decrease in interest expense for the current fiscal year as compared to the last fiscal year was due to the reduction in the Company’s outstanding debt levels between these two periods. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates in fiscal 2007 as compared to interest rates in effect in fiscal 2006.

Other income for fiscal 2007 was approximately $2.7 million compared to other income of $2.1 million in fiscal 2006. The fiscal year over year increase was primarily due to increased earnings recognized from the equity investment in 5NPlus. In addition, the increase was also attributed to increased interest income earned from the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for fiscal 2007 was 24.2% compared to the income tax rate for fiscal 2006 of 49.2%. The significant decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge in fiscal 2006 for which there was no tax benefit. In addition, the generation of income from more foreign sources which is taxed at a lower rate also decreased the effective tax rate in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006.

Discontinued Operation

The Company intends to sell its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation sensor division doing business as eV PRODUCTS, Inc. and operating as a business within the Compound Semiconductor Group. Results for the year ended June 30, 2008 and all comparative financial data included herein reflect the presentation of eV PRODUCTS as a discontinued operation. Losses from discontinued operation for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

SEASONALITY

Due to our customers’ buying patterns, particularly in Europe, revenues for our first fiscal quarter ending in September could be below those in the preceding quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary source of cash has been provided through operations and long-term borrowings. Other sources of cash include proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and sale of equity investment. Our historical uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, purchases of businesses, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations and purchases of treasury stock. Supplemental information pertaining to our sources and uses of cash is presented as follows:

Sources (uses) of Cash (millions):


	Year Ended June 30,
	2008			2007
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	45.5		$	44.7
Proceeds from sale of equity investment		30.2			—

Purchases of treasury stock		(5.9	)		(0.5	)
Purchases of businesses, net of cash acquired		(2.4	)		(4.7	)
Investment in unconsolidated business		—			(3.6	)

In fiscal 2008, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $45.5 million. The increase in cash from continuing operations was driven by the Company’s net earnings of $64.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $15.5 million, share-based compensation expense of $4.0 million and, an increase in accrued other current liabilities and other operating net assets of $5.5 million. The increase in cash was offset by the gain on sale of equity investment of $26.5 million, an increase in inventories of $7.2 million and accounts receivable of $6.5 million, and a use of cash for excess tax benefits from share-based compensation of $4.1 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations during fiscal 2008 was $7.1 million. The increase in cash from investing activities from continuing operations was from proceeds from the sale of the Company’s equity investment of $30.2 million offset by $17.9 million for the Company’s purchase of property plant and equipment expenditures, $2.4 million for purchases of businesses net of cash acquired and a $3.0 million investment in marketable securities.

Net cash used in financing activities during the fiscal 2008 was $9.7 million and included long-term net debt payments of $11.7 million and purchases of treasury stock of $5.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities was offset by $3.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $4.1 million of cash provided by excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.

The Company’s credit facility is a $60.0 million line of credit which, under certain conditions, may be expanded to $100.0 million. The credit facility has a five-year term through October 2011 and has interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 1.25%. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 4.2% and 6.0% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company had available $59.3 million and $47.8 million under its line of credit as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

On May 18, 2005, the Board of Directors had authorized the Company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock. The repurchase program called for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. Shares purchased by the Company are retained as treasury stock and available for general corporate purposes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company completed its repurchase program. During this program, the Company purchased 500,000 shares of its Common Stock for $11.8 million.

Our cash position, borrowing capacity and debt obligations are as follows (in millions):


	Year Ended June 30,
	2008		2007
Cash and cash equivalents	$	69.8	$	32.6
Additional borrowing capacity under existing credit facility		59.3		47.8
Total debt obligations		3.8		15.0

The Company believes cash flow from operations, existing cash reserves and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditures and internal growth for fiscal 2009.

A “purchase obligation” is defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These amounts are primarily comprised of open purchase order commitments to vendors for the purchase of supplies and materials and unpaid purchase prices for the Company’s recent acquisitions of PRM and HIGHYAG.

The gross unrecognized income tax benefits under FIN 48 at June 30, 2008 which are excluded from the above table are $7.5 million. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate how the liability will increase or decrease over time.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISKS

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy primarily focused on its exposure to the Japanese Yen. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used other than those described below.

In addition, the Company has transactions denominated in Euros and Pounds Sterling. As a result of the Company’s hedging activities discussed below, changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies did not have a material impact on the results of operations for fiscal 2008.

Foreign Exchange Risks

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with its financial institutions. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge ordinary business risks regarding foreign currencies on product sales. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts provide the Company with an economic hedge in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of the parties to these contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, it does not anticipate such losses.

The Company entered into a low interest rate, 400 million Yen loan with PNC Bank in June 2007 in an effort to minimize the foreign currency exposure in Japan. A change in the interest rate of 1% for this Yen loan would have had an immaterial impact to interest expense and a 10% change in the Yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have changed revenues in the range from a decrease of approximately $2.5 million to an increase of approximately $2.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2008.

For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l., and Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc., the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of the local currency financial statements are included in net earnings. Foreign currency gains (losses) were $1.0 million, $(0.1) million and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risks

As of June 30, 2008, the total borrowings of $3.8 million was from a loan denominated in Japanese Yen. As such, the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates. A change in the interest rate of 1% would not have a material impact for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management’s Responsibility for Preparation of the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements included in the Annual Report. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts that are based on the best estimates and judgments of management. The other financial information contained in this annual report is consistent with the financial statements.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning the reliability of the financial data used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, as well as reasonable assurance with respect to safeguarding the Company’s assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and other results of such systems.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Management’s evaluation included reviewing the documentation of its controls, evaluating the design effectiveness of controls and testing their operating effectiveness. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective and provide reasonable assurance that the accompanying financial statements do not contain any material misstatement.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. Their report is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of II-VI Incorporated:

We have audited II-VI Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). II-VI Incorporated’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, II-VI Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended of II-VI Incorporated and our report dated August 26, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company”) develop, manufacture and market products for a diversified customer base including industrial manufacturing, military and aerospace, high-power electronics and telecommunications, and thermo-electronics applications. The Company markets its products through its direct sales force and through distributors and agents.

The Company uses certain uncommon materials and compounds to manufacture its products. Some of these materials are available from only one proven outside source. The continued high quality of these materials is critical to the stability of the Company’s manufacturing yields. The Company has not experienced significant production delays due to a shortage of materials. However, the Company does occasionally experience problems associated with vendor- supplied materials not meeting specifications for quality or purity. A significant failure of the Company’s suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of necessary high-quality materials on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l. and Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc., the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of the local currency financial statements are included in net earnings. Foreign currency gains (losses) were $1.0 million, $(0.1) million and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is invested in investment grade money market type instruments. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions and to date, we have not experienced credit losses in these instruments. Cash of foreign subsidiaries is on deposit at banks in Singapore, China, Germany, Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and the Philippines.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES Marketable securities at June 30, 2008 consist of certificates of deposits with original maturity dates of six months. The deposits are denominated in U.S. dollars and are on deposit with a commercial bank in Vietnam and accruing interest ranging from 4.0% to 4.2% per annum. The Company believes that the fair value of the marketable securities is equal to the carrying value due to the liquid nature and short-term duration of these investments.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND WARRANTY RESERVE The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience.

The Company factored a portion of the accounts receivable due to its Japan subsidiary during each of the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Factoring is done with large banks in Japan. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $7.8 million and $6.0 million respectively, of accounts receivable had been factored. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was included in Other accrued liabilities representing the Company’s obligation to the bank for these receivables factored with recourse.

The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a percentage of revenues utilizing actual returns over a period that approximates historical warranty experience. The following table summarizes the change in the carrying value of the Company’s warranty reserve as of and for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.


Year Ended June 30,	2008			2007		2006
*($000)*
Balance – Beginning of Year	$	926		$	885	$	907
Expense (credit) and write-offs, net		(149	)		41		(22	)

Balance – End of Year	$	777		$	926	$	885

INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The Company records a slow moving inventory reserve as a charge against earnings for all products on hand more than twelve months to eighteen months depending on the products that have not been sold to customers or cannot be further manufactured for sale to alternative customers. An additional reserve is recorded for product on hand that is in excess of product sold to customers over the same periods noted above. Inventories are net of reserves totaling $2.1 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost or fair market value upon acquisition. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred. The Company reviews its property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for building, building improvements and land improvements of 10 to 20 years and 2 to 12 years for machinery and equipment.

GOODWILL The excess purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired is reported as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

INVESTMENTS In March 2007, the Company acquired for $3.6 million a 10.2% non-controlling equity interest in Guangdong Fuxin Electronic Technology Company based in Guangdong Province, China. This investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company sold its entire 36% equity investment in 5NPlus, Inc., a Canadian company and supplier to the Company, for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded an after-tax gain of $15.9 million. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had an outstanding note receivable of approximately $0.3 million from equipment and supply agreements with this supplier. For the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company purchased $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of raw materials from 5NPlus. The Company’s pro rata share of the earnings from this investment and the interest received from these agreements were approximately $0.7 million, $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the years ended June 30 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

INTANGIBLES Intangible assets are carried at cost or fair market value upon acquisition. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three years to twenty years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but tested annually for impairment in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired.

OTHER ASSETS In April 2005, the Company entered into a $2.0 million note purchase agreement with SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc. (“SemiSouth”), a customer and supplier of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the note receivable accrues interest at Prime plus 1.00% per annum paid quarterly. The note receivable matures April 4, 2010. The note purchase agreement contains a conversion feature that permits the Company to convert the note receivable into common shares of SemiSouth at certain times upon certain situations through the maturity date.

ACCRUED BONUSES AND PROFIT SHARING CONTRIBUTION The Company records bonus and profit sharing estimates as a charge against earnings. These estimates are adjusted to actual based on final results of operations achieved during the fiscal year. Certain partial bonus amounts may be paid on an interim basis, and the remainder is paid after the fiscal year end after the final determination of the applicable percentage or amounts. Other bonuses are paid annually.

INCOME TAXES Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB 109” as of July 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition. Under FIN 48, the Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. FIN 48 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Under FIN 48, the Company classifies interest and penalties as an element of income tax expense.

REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company considers the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”), which superseded SAB 101. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is established or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue, for all business segments, other than for contract research and development, is recognized from the sale of products at the point of passage of title, which is generally at the time of shipment.

The Company follows the guidelines of Statement of Position 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” for its fixed fee contracts. Revenue and profits on each fixed fee contract are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby revenue and profits are recognized throughout the performance period of the contract. Percentage-of-completion is determined by relating the actual cost of work performed to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. The estimated total cost for each contract is periodically reevaluated and revised, when necessary, throughout the life of the contract. Losses on contracts are recorded in full when identified.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Total shipping and handling revenue and costs included in revenues and in selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Internal research and development costs and costs not related to customer and government funded research and development contracts are expensed as incurred.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), (“SFAS 123(R)”) “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accountings Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its share-based compensation.

The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123(R). Under this method, all prior period financial statements were restated effective July 1, 2005 to recognize share-based compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company recorded $4.0 million, $3.4 million and $2.4 million in share-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The share-based compensation expense is allocated approximately 25% to cost of goods sold and 75% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings based upon the employee classification of the grantee. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the share-based compensation expense. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the weighted-average fair value of options granted under the stock option plan was $13.31, $14.62 and $10.96, respectively, per option using the following assumptions:


	Year Ended June 30, 2008		Year Ended June 30, 2007		Year Ended June 30, 2006
Risk free interest rate	3.79	%	5.14	%	4.52	%
Expected volatility	39	%	56	%	59	%
Expected life of options	5.86 years		6.89 years		6.39 years
Dividend yield	none		none		none

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. The risk free interest rate shown above is the weighted average rate for all options granted during the fiscal year. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed time to post-vesting exercise and/or forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are estimated at a rate of 22%. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company will record additional expense in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of expense in future periods if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily in Japanese Yen, that permit it to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. These contracts are entered into to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates of export sales transactions in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company, on the basis of its aggregate net cash flows in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk.

The Company recorded these contracts with a notional amount of approximately $8.1 million and $5.4 million as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which approximated the fair value of these contracts on the statement of financial position. The Company records the change in the fair value of these contracts in the results of operations as they occur. The change in the fair value of these contracts for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was insignificant.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to workers’ compensation for its U.S. employees. Additionally, third-party insurance is obtained to limit our exposure to these claims in excess of $0.4 million per occurrence and $1.0 million in the aggregate per policy year. When estimating the self-insurance liability, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and valuations provided by independent third party consultants. Periodically, management reviews its assumptions and the valuations to determine the adequacy of the self-insurance liability.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Accumulated other comprehensive income is a component of shareholders’ equity and consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments of $3.6 million and $0.9 million, net of income taxes of $1.3 million and $0.3 million, as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS EXCLUDING DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

Debt Obligations The fair values of debt obligations are estimated based upon market values of similar issues. The fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s debt obligations are approximately equivalent.

ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard only applies when other standards require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. It does not increase the use of fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Company’s financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in the Company’s income and comprehensive income. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141 (R) established principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for the Company’s business combinations occurring on or after July 1, 2009.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which requires enhanced disclosure on the effect of derivatives on a company’s financial statements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.

RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation primarily to reflect eV PRODUCTS as a discontinued operation.

Note B DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On April 4, 2008 the Company announced its intention to sell its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation sensor business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc.

eV PRODUCTS was previously reported as a business within the Compound Semiconductor Group segment. Because the Company intends to sell the division, the assets and liabilities of the eV PRODUCTS business are now reported separately as held-for-sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior periods have been restated to present this business on a discontinued operation basis. The revenue and loss before income taxes for eV PRODUCTS included in discontinued operation are as follows:


Year Ended June 30,	2008			2007			2006
*($000)*
Revenues	$	7,202		$	8,511		$	8,899

Note G GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon fair market value at the date of acquisition.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:


Year Ended June 30,	2008		2007
*($000)*
Balance – Beginning of Year	$	24,489	$	23,293
Goodwill acquired – HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH		1,580		—
Goodwill acquired – Marlow Industries, Inc.		—		295
Goodwill acquired – II-VI Suisse		—		813
Foreign currency translation		462		88

Balance – End of Year	$	26,531	$	24,489

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” the Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill at least annually and any time business conditions indicate a potential change in recoverability. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests of its reporting units utilizing the discounted cash flow approach. Based on the results of these analyses, the Company’s goodwill of $26.5 million as of June 30, 2008 and $24.5 million as of June 30, 2007 was not impaired.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the results of these impairment tests indicated that the Company’s Exotic Electro-Optics reporting unit was impaired. The Company recorded approximately $17.6 million of goodwill impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings associated with the goodwill of Exotic Electro-Optics for the year ended June 30, 2006.

In connection with the acquisition of HIGHYAG in January 2008, the Company recorded the excess purchase price over the net assets of the business acquired as goodwill in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the purchase price allocation.

In connection with the acquisition of Marlow in December 2004, the Company recorded the excess purchase price over the net assets of the business acquired as goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the purchase price allocation. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $0.3 million as a result of a tax settlement.

In connection with the remaining 25% acquisition of II-VI Suisse in January 2007, the Company recorded the excess purchase price over the net assets of the business acquired in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the purchase price allocation.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:


	June 30, 2008							June 30, 2007
*($000)*	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of HIGHYAG, the Company completed its valuation of certain identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141 during the year and June 30, 2008. The Company recognized approximately $0.5 million of patents as a result of the valuation. The patents are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from twelve years to seventeen years. In fiscal 2005, in connection with the acquisition of Marlow, the Company acquired a trade name with an indefinite life. The carrying amount of $6.0 million is not amortized but tested annually for impairment. The Company completed its impairment test of the acquired trade name with an indefinite life in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Based on the results of the test, the trade name was not impaired at June 30, 2008. Included in the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s customer list component of intangible assets and goodwill is the effect of the foreign currency translation of the portion relating to the Company’s German subsidiaries. The estimated amortization expense for existing intangible assets for each of the five succeeding years is as follows:

During the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, cash paid by the Company for income taxes was $24.6 million, $13.9 million, and $10.8 million, respectively.

Earnings before income taxes of our non-U.S. operations for June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $36.0 million, $23.2 million and $18.1 million, respectively. The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. If the earnings of such foreign subsidiaries were not indefinitely reinvested, an additional deferred tax liability of approximately $32.0 million and $18.3 million would have been required as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries beyond the repatriated amount; therefore, no provision has been made for future income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, as they are considered indefinitely reinvested.

The Company’s Vietnam subsidiary operates under a tax holiday and does not pay income taxes. This subsidiary is tax exempted until fiscal 2010.

The sources of differences resulting in deferred income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations and the related tax effect of each were as follows:

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $0.7 million. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire in 2012. For the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company utilized $0.6 million, $1.8 million and $1.5 million of net operating losses, respectively, to reduce current taxable income.

In July 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes recognition and measurement standards for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two step process. The first step is the determination of whether a tax position should be recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is to be recognized only if the Company determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based upon the technical merits of the position. In step two, for those tax positions which should be recognized, the measurement of a tax position is determined as being the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 was effective July 1, 2007 with adoption treated as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. As a result of implementing FIN 48, the Company recognized a $2.2 million increase in the long-term liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties recognized at the FIN 48 adoption date were $0.9 million. Including liabilities recognized in the FIN 48 adoption, the Company’s total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits at July 1, 2007 were $7.6 million.

Changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits following FIN 48 adoption for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were as follows:


*($000)*	2008
Balance at July 1, 2007 – Initial adoption date	$	6,732
Increases in current year tax positions		800
Increases in prior year tax positions		1,560
Decreases in prior year tax positions		(439	)
Settlements		—
Expiration of statute of limitations		(1,180	)

Balance at June 30, 2008	$	7,473

The Company classifies all estimated and actual interest and penalties as income tax expense. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized $0.5 million of interest and penalties within income tax expense. The Company had $1.4 million of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2008.

Including tax positions for which the Company determined that the tax position would not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold upon examination by the tax authorities based upon the technical merits of the position, the total estimated unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was approximately $6.7 million. During July 2008, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. At this time, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that up to approximately $4.8 million of the estimated unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008 will be recognized within the next twelve months based on the expiration of statutory review periods or completion of the Internal Revenue Service examination.

The fiscal years 2007 to 2008 remain open to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2004 to 2008 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdiction, and fiscal years 2003 to 2008 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions.

Note L SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

On August 13, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the II-VI Incorporated 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company on November 4, 2005. The Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, deferred shares and performance units to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized for issuance under the

Plan shall not in the aggregate exceed 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock authorized plus any shares under the predecessor plan which were outstanding as of November 4, 2005, that expire or terminate without being exercised. All options to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under the Plan have been at market price at the date of grant. Generally, twenty percent of the options may be exercised one year from the date of grant with comparable annual increases on a cumulative basis each year thereafter. The stock option plan also has vesting provisions predicated upon the death, retirement or disability of the optionee. As of June 30, 2008, there were 1,044,316 shares available under the Plan.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted certain named executive officers performance share awards under the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan. At June 30, 2008, the Company had an outstanding performance share grant covering the period July 2007 to June 2009. The awards are intended to provide continuing emphasis on specified financial performance goals that the Company considers important contributors to long-term shareholder value. The awards are payable only if the Company achieves specified levels of revenue and cash flows from operations for the performance periods. Included in the $4.0 million share-based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 was $0.7 million of expense attributable to the performance shares. The performance shares compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares projected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date the performance plan was established. Included in the $3.4 million and $2.4 million share-based compensation expense for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, was $0.4 million of expense attributable to the performance shares for both of these fiscal years.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued 31,275 and 24,263 performance shares, respectively, under the Company’s 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan. There were no performance shares issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had an outstanding performance share plan covering the 24-month performance period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. The projected target awards for the performance share plan outstanding are 27,790 shares and the fair market value per share at the grant date was $27.77. The projected share-based compensation expense to be recognized in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 under the 24-month performance period is $0.4 million.

Note M SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING

The Company reports its business segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The Company determines its reportable business segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes business segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. To aggregate operating segments, the Company considers if the operating segments have similar economic characteristics, and if the operating segments are similar in each of the following areas:

The nature of the products and services

The nature of the production processes

The type of class of customer for their products and services

The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services

The Company has four reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker receives and reviews financial information in this format. The Company evaluates business segment performance based upon reported business segment earnings or loss, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. The segments are managed separately due to the production requirements and facilities that are unique to each segment. The Company has the following reportable segments: Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s II-VI Infrared optics and material products businesses, HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH, a manufacturer of fiber-delivered beam transmission systems and processing tools for industrial lasers and remaining corporate activities, primarily corporate assets and capital expenditures; Near-Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s VLOC subsidiary (“VLOC”), and the China and Vietnam near-infrared operations; Military & Materials, which is the Company’s Exotic Electro-Optics subsidiary (“EEO”) and Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals (PRM) subsidiary (“PRM”); and the Compound Semiconductor Group, which is the aggregation of the Company’s Marlow subsidiary, the Wide Bandgap Materials group (“WBG”) and the Worldwide Materials Group (“WMG”) which is responsible for the corporate research and development activities.

The Infrared Optics segment is divided into the geographic locations in the U.S., Singapore, China, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Belgium and the U.K. The Infrared Optics segment is directed by the segment’s president, while each geographic location is directed by a general manager, and is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets optical and electro-optical components and materials sold under the II-VI brand name and used primarily in high-power CO₂ lasers. The Infrared Optics segment also manufactures fiber-delivered beam delivery systems and processing tools for industrial lasers sold under the HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH brand name. The Infrared Optics segment includes the operating results for six months in fiscal year 2008 for HIGHYAG as this acquisition occurred in January 2008.

The Near-Infrared Optics segment is located in the U.S., China, Vietnam, Germany, Japan and the U.K. The Near-Infrared Optics segment is directed by a general manager. The Near-Infrared Optics segment is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Near-Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets near-infrared and visible-light products for industrial, scientific, military and medical instruments and laser gain material and products for solid-state YAG, YLF lasers and UV Filter components.

The Military & Materials segment is located in the U.S. and the Philippines. The Military & Materials segment is directed by a Corporate Vice-President while each geographic location is directed by a general manager. The Military & Materials segment is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Military & Materials segment designs, manufactures and markets infrared products for military applications under the Exotic Electro-Optics brand name and refines specialty metals, primarily selenium and tellurium metals, under the PRM brand name. The Military & Materials segment does not include the operating results for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 for PRM as this acquisition did not occur until June 26, 2007.

The Compound Semiconductor Group is located in the U.S., the U.K., Japan, China and Vietnam. The Compound Semiconductor Group segment is directed by a Corporate Vice-President. Marlow designs and manufacturers thermo-electric cooling and power generation solutions for use in defense and space, telecommunications, medical, consumer and industrial markets. WBG group manufactures and markets single crystal silicon carbide substrates for use in solid-state lighting, wireless infrastructure, radio frequency (“RF”) electronics and power switching industries. The WMG group directs the corporate research and development initiatives.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company. Substantially all of the Company’s corporate expenses are allocated to the segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based upon reported segment earnings or loss, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. Inter-segment sales and transfers have been eliminated.

Note N EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Eligible United States employees of the Company participate in a profit sharing retirement plan. Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and were $3.4 million, $2.7 million and $2.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan available for employees who have completed six months of continuous employment with the Company. The employee may purchase the Common Stock at 5% below the prevailing market price. The amount of shares which may be bought by an employee during each fiscal year is limited to 10% of the employee’s base pay. This plan, as amended, limits the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase to 800,000 shares. There were 336,026 and 345,453 shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the plan at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

As a requirement of a collective bargaining agreement, PRM maintains a defined benefit plan for substantially all of its employees. The plan provides for retirement benefits based on a certain percentage of the latest monthly salary of an employee per year of service. The pension liability was $0.5 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The actuarial assumptions used at June 30, 2008 and 2007 for the discount rate was 9% and 7%, respectively, and 6% for both fiscal years for future salary increases.

The Company has no program for post-retirement health and welfare benefits.

The II-VI Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) is designed to allow officers and key employees of the Company to defer receipt of compensation into a trust fund for retirement purposes. The Compensation Plan is a nonqualified, defined contribution employees’ retirement plan. At the Company’s discretion, the Compensation Plan may be funded by the Company making contributions based on compensation deferrals, matching contributions and discretionary contributions. Compensation deferrals will be based on an election by the participant to defer a percentage of compensation under the Compensation Plan. All assets in the Compensation Plan are subject to claims of the Company’s creditors until such amounts are paid to the Compensation Plan participants. During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company amended its Compensation Plan to restrict changes to and settlements of funds invested in the Common Stock of the Company, which is one of the investment elections available under the Compensation Plan. As a result of this amendment, the Compensation Plan changed from a liability plan to an equity plan. This change resulted in a reduction of the deferred compensation liability associated with the fair value of the Common Stock of the Company held in the Compensation Plan by approximately $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. Employees of the Company made contributions to the Compensation Plan in the amount of approximately $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. There were no employer contributions made to the Compensation Plan for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Note O COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has purchase commitments for materials and supplies as part of the ordinary conduct of business. A few of the commitments are long-term and are based on minimum purchase requirements. Due to the proprietary nature of some of the Company’s materials and processes, certain contracts may contain penalty provisions for early termination. The Company does not believe that a significant amount of penalties is reasonably likely to be incurred under these commitments based upon historical experience and current expectation. In addition, the Company has payment commitments relating to its acquisitions of PRM and HIGHYAG. Future commitments are as follows:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of Francis J. Kramer, Chief Executive Officer and Craig A. Creaturo, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. The Company’s disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Kramer and Creaturo concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
