                             Notes to Financial Statements
                                    March 31, 1996

        NOTE 1:  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto, together with the management's discussion and analysis,
contained on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996. The results of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.

        NOTE 2:  Net Income Per Share

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares (warrants and options) outstanding during the period,
calculated using the treasury stock method for fiscal 1997 and the modified
treasury stock method for fiscal 1996.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented is
as follows:

        NOTE 3:  Contingencies.

In March 1997, the Company received notice that the California State Board of
Equalization for Sales and Use has determined, upon audit, that the Company was
in error in collection of sales tax in California from 1986 to 1995. The Company
is disputing the assessment of $118,900, including $60,190 of interest. The
outcome of this dispute cannot be determined at this time.

        NOTE 4:   Subsequent Events

a)  On April 25, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a letter of
    intent to acquire 100% of the stock of Tooltex, Inc., a privately held
    manufacturer of automated systems used in the plastics industry. The Company
    expects to consumate the transaction in the first quarter of fiscal year
    1998.

b)  On April 28, 1997, Sonics & Materials submitted a 510K application to the
    Food and Drug Administration for approval of its VibraSurge'tm' system,
    model VS2120 ultrasonic surgical instrument to aid in the removal of soft
    tissue in general, plastic, and reconstructive surgery.

NOTE 5:  New Accounting Pronouncement

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which
is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending
after December 1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted. The
new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and
requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with
disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The pro forma effect of
adopting the new standard would be basic earnings per share of $.02 and $.04,
and diluted earnings per share of $.02 and $.03 for the quarters ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

Item 2   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        The following information should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited financial statements included herein, see Item 1, and the financial
information contained in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

        Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 decreased
$97,000 or 3.8% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This is primarily due to a
slight decrease in sales volume.

        Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased from 53.3% of sales for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to 51.8% of sales for the three months ended March
31, 1997. This slight decrease is primarily attributable to a variation in the
sales product mix.

        Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1997
increased $40,000 or 5.3% over the same period in fiscal 1996. As a percentage
of net sales these expenses increased from 29.1% to 31.8% over the same period.
This increase primarily relates to expenses incurred in connection with design
and implementation of new product literature, an updated seminar package, and
development of the Company's web sites, as well as normal increases in salaries.

        General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $53,000 or 34.6% over the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased
to 8.3% from 5.9.% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This increase is
primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the Company's
obligations as a new public company, including professional fees, and directors'
and officers' insurance, as well as normal annual increases in salaries.

        Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $8,000 or 6.5% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This is primarily
the result of the addition of one research and development engineer. The
addition was part of the planned expansion of the Research and Development
department.

        Interest Income, net. Total interest income net of interest expense
increased by $56,000 or 256.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
is primarily due to the investment of the net proceeds from the Company's
initial public offering, which was partially used to paydown existing debt.

        Income Taxes. Income taxes increased by $84,000 or 203.7%. This is
primarily the result of the change in the Company's filing status in regards to
federal income taxes. Prior to the Company's initial public offering, Sonics was
a Subchapter-S Corporation and as such was not subject to federal income tax.
Concurrent with the stock offering, the Company revoked it's S-Corp election. In
addition to being subject to federal income tax for the entire fiscal year 1997,
as opposed to only a portion of fiscal 1996, the Company also recognized a
deferred tax asset at the time of the S-Corp revocation.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,1996.

        Net sales. Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 increased
$793,000 or 11.4% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This increase is a result
of the Company's increased penetration into the Asian and Pacific Rim markets
due to the expansion of the Company's sales efforts in that region, as well as
initial sales of the Company's new vibration and spin welder products.

                                       8

        Cost of Sales. Cost of sales remained relatively constant at 51.7% of
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 51.2% of sales for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

        Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 increased $171,000 or 7.8% over the same period in fiscal 1996. As a
percentage of net sales these expenses decreased to 30.3% from 31.3% over the
same period in fiscal 1996. This decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of
net sales is a result of the Company maintaining fixed costs while increasing
sales.

        General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 increased $267,000 or 59.3% over the
same period in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses
increased to 9.2% from 6.5% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This increase
is primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the Company's
obligations as a new public company, including professional fees and directors'
and officers' insurance, as well as normal annual increases in salaries and
bonuses.

        Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $66,000 or 21.0% over the same period in fiscal 1996. The largest
factor contributing to this increase was the planned expansion of the Research
and Development department's technical staff.

        Interest Income, net. Total interest income net of interest expense
increased by $127,000 or 185.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. This
is primarily due to the investment of the net proceeds from the Company's
initial public offering, which was partially used to paydown existing debt.

        Income Taxes. Income taxes increased by $163,000 or 844.2%. This is
primarily the result of the change in the Company's filing status in regards to
federal income taxes. Prior to the Company's initial public offering, Sonics was
a Subchapter-S Corporation and as such was not subject to federal income tax.
Concurrent with the stock offering, the Company revoked it's S-Corp election. In
addition to being subject to federal income tax for the entire fiscal year 1997,
as opposed to only a portion of fiscal 1996, the Company also recognized a
deferred tax asset at the time of the S-Corp revocation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations of the Company used cash of approximately $532,000 during the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 as a result of increasing inventory while paying
down accounts payable balances. During the first three quarters of fiscal 1997,
the Company invested approximately $83,000 in new capital equipment and
leasehold improvements. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was
$6,010,000. As of March 31, 1997, the Company's working capital had increased to
$6,725,000 representing an increase of approximately 11.9%. During the third
quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company increased its borrowings under its line of
credit by $200,000.

The Company's principal credit line is a $1,000,000 bank credit facility bearing
interest at one-half of one percent above the prime rate. This credit
arrangement matures on February 28, 1998. During the third quarter of fiscal
1997, the Company converted a $500,000 short term demand note payable to a five
year term note maturing on December 3, 2001 with an interest rate of one-half
point above prime.
