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, 1997. The results of

        NOTE 4:  Acquisition of Tooltex, Inc.
On July 25, 1997, the Company acquired, through a newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, 100% of the stock of Tooltex, Inc. ("Tooltex"). Tooltex is a
manufacturer of automated systems used in the plastics industry. The
shareholders received, in exchange for 100% of the stock of Tooltex, (i) an
aggregate of 70,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.03 per
share, (ii) $70,000 and (iii) options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on
their estimated fair value. The excess total acquisition costs over the fair
value of the net assets acquired of approximately $1,057,000 is to be amortized
on a straight line bases over 20 years. For the three months ended September 30,
1996, the Company had sales to Tooltex of approximately $28,000. At the time of
the acquisition, the Company had a receivable of approximately $254,000 from
Tooltex. The sales and results of operations of Tooltex for the period from July
1, 1997, to July 25, 1997 were not material.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidation for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, shows the results of operations, assuming that the purchase
had occurred on July 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had been in effect for the entire period. In addition, they are not intended to
be a projection of future results.

                 Revenues                   3,231,861
                 Net Loss from operations      56,365

                                  (Unaudited)

        NOTE 5: Future effect of recently issued accounting pronouncements. 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 15, 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 $.01 and $.03 and diluted
earnings per share of $.01 and $.02 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 respectively.

        NOTE 6: Financing.

On September 19, 1997, the Company entered into three facilities with a bank
(the "Bank"), each of which is secured by a first mortgage lien on property the
Company acquired in Newtown, CT: (i) a Bridge Loan in the original principal
amount of $1,600,000; (ii) a Line of Credit in the original principal amount of
up to $1,500,000; and (iii) a Term Loan in the original principal amount of
$427,000.

The Bridge Loan bears interest at the Bank's base lending rate plus one-half
percent. The principal balance of the Bridge Loan, which at September 30, 1997
was $1,600,000, will mature and be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of
(i) the written demand of the Bank, (ii) the consummation of the IRB Loan, or
(iii) December 31, 1997. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Bank has
agreed to make an IRB Loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,945,000
to be issued through the Connecticut Development Authority, the proceeds of
which will be used to refinance the Bridge Loan, pay any remaining costs on the
Newtown Property for Sonics' use and occupancy and for purchasing or
manufacturing equipment. Sonics expects to close the IRB Loan on or before
December 31, 1997. The principal of the Bridge Loan may be repaid in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, at any time.

The Line of Credit is used by the Company for working capital. The Line of
Credit bears interest, at Sonics' option, at the Bank's base lending rate or
LIBOR plus 2.5%. Advances under the Line of Credit are at the Bank's sole
discretion. The entire principal balance of the Line of Credit, which at
September 25, 1997 was $992,000, will mature and be due and payable upon the
demand of the Bank. The borrowings under the Line of Credit may be prepaid in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time. In the event of the
prepayment of any portion of the Line of Credit during any period in which the
Line of Credit bears interest at a LIBOR rate, Sonics will be obligated to pay
the Bank a breakage fee relating to the LIBOR interest component. The Line of
Credit is also secured by all of the Company's assets.

The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to pay in full a term loan with another
bank with interest and principal totaling $427,000. The term loan with the other
bank bore interest at such bank's loan pricing rate of interest plus one-half
percent. The current outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan is $427,000,
which bears interest, at Sonics' option, at the Bank's base lending rate of
LIBOR plus 2.5%. The principal of the Term Loan must be paid in 36 equal monthly
installments of $11,861.11, commencing on November 1, 1997 and the entire
remaining principal balance will mature and be due and payable on October 1,
2000. The terms and conditions under which Sonics may prepay all or any portion
of the Term Loan are the same as for the Line of Credit discussed above. The
Term Loan is also secured by all of the Company's assets.

forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially. Specifically, any forward
looking statements in this filing related to the Company's objectives of future
growth, profitability and financial returns are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks related to a growing market

whether a patent will be granted for the Company's ultrasonic surgical device,
or whether any related patent litigation may hinder the Company's ability to
market the device. In addition, the Company's objectives of future growth,
profitability, and financial returns are also subject to the uncertainty of the
growth and profitability of its wholly owned subsidiary, Tooltex. The Company
undertakes no obligation to release date hereof or the reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

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, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996.

        Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased
$581,000 or 22.9% over the same period in fiscal 1997. This increase is the
result of the effect of the acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex, Inc.,
combined with slight increased volume in domestic markets for the Company's
ultrasonic welding equipment

        Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 52.5% of sales for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to 58.6% of sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. This increase in the cost of sales percentage is partially
attributable to the acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex. In addition, Cost
of Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was 56.6% of sales, excluding
the effect of Tooltex, compared to 52.5% for the same quarter last year. This
increase is attributable to increased costs associated with the manufacture of
the vibration welder associated with the introduction of the product to the
market recognized in the first quarter combined with the effect of the product
mix in the first quarter.

        Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1998
increased $46,000 or 6.7% over the same period in fiscal 1997. As a percentage
of net sales selling expenses decreased from 27.1% to 23.5% over the same
periods. This decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales is a
result of the Company increasing its net sales through the acquisition and
consolidation of Tooltex, with only a slight corresponding increase in selling
expenses. Excluding the effect of Tooltex, expenses also decreased from 27.1% of
sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 25.7% of sales in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998.

        General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $88,000 or 39.9% over the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased
to 9.9% from 8.7% over the same period in fiscal 1997. This increase is
primarily attributable to regular increases in salaries.

        Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $51,000 or 50.8% over the same period in fiscal 1997. The increase was
primarily due to that department's increased use of outside consulting services
for several development projects.

        Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 1997 increased by approximately $2,000 or 6.2% over the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This slight increase is due to slightly higher average
borrowings on the Company's line of credit in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
The Company expects interest expense to increase in future quarters due to the
new credit facilities discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations of the Company used approximately $277,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 as a result of increasing inventory while paying down
accounts payable balances. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company
invested approximately $16,000 in new capital equipment and leasehold
improvements and $1,289,000 in land and a building that will be used to
consolidate the Company's manufacturing and office facilities. As of June 30,
1997, the Company's working capital was $5,942,000. As of September 30, 1997,
the Company's working capital had decreased to 4,359,000 representing an
decrease of approximately 26.6%. This decrease is the result of increased short
term debt resulting from increased borrowings under it's line of credit by
approximately $505,000 and a short term bridge loan in the amount of $1,151,000
that will be repaid with proceeds from a bond issue.

The Company's principal credit line is a $1,500,000 bank credit facility.

On September 19, 1997, the Company entered into three facilities with a bank
(the "Bank"), each of which is secured by a first mortgage lien on property the
Company acquired in Newtown, CT: (i) a Bridge Loan in the original principal
amount of $1,600,000; (ii) a Line of Credit in the original principal amount of
up to $1,500,000; and (iii) a Term Loan in the original principal amount of
$427,000.

The Bridge Loan bears interest at the Bank's base lending rate plus one-half
percent. The principal balance of the Bridge Loan, which at September 30, 1997
was $1,600,000, will mature and be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of
(i) the written demand of the Bank, (ii) the consummation of the IRB Loan, or
(iii) December 31, 1997. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Bank has
agreed to make an IRB Loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,945,000
to be issued through the Connecticut Development Authority, the proceeds of
which will be used to refinance the Bridge Loan, pay any remaining costs on the
Newtown Property for Sonics' use and occupancy and for purchasing or
manufacturing equipment. Sonics expects to close the IRB Loan on or before
December 31, 1997. The principal of the Bridge Loan may be repaid in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, at any time.

The Line of Credit is used by the Company for working capital. The Line of
Credit bears interest, at Sonics' option, at the Bank's base lending rate or
LIBOR plus 2.5%. Advances under the Line of Credit are at the Bank's sole
discretion. The entire principal balance of the Line of Credit, which at
September 25, 1997 was $992,000, will mature and be due and payable upon the
demand of the Bank. The borrowings under the Line of Credit may be prepaid in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time. In the event of the
prepayment of any portion of the Line of Credit during any period in which the
Line of Credit bears interest at a LIBOR rate, Sonics will be obligated to pay
the Bank a breakage fee relating to the LIBOR interest component. The Line of
Credit is also secured by all of the Company's assets.

The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to pay in full a term loan with another
bank with interest and principal totaling $427,000. The term loan with the other
bank bore interest at such bank's loan pricing rate of interest plus one-half
percent. The current outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan is $427,000,
which bears interest, at Sonics' option, at the Bank's base lending rate of
LIBOR plus 2.5%. The principal of the Term Loan must be paid in 36 equal monthly
installments of $11,861.11, commencing on November 1, 1997 and the entire
remaining principal balance will mature and be due and payable on October 1,
2000. The terms and conditions under which Sonics may prepay all or any portion
of the Term Loan are the same as for the Line of Credit discussed above. The
Term Loan is also secured by all of the Company's assets.

 (b) The Company filed a Form 8-K on July 25, 1997, reporting the acquisition of
     Tooltex, Inc. The Company filed an amendment to the Form 8-K on October 8,
     1997, including in it Audited financial statements for Tooltex, Inc. and
     unaudited pro forma consolidated statements for Sonics & Materials, Inc.
     and Tooltex, Inc.

 (c) On July  25, 2997, the Company acquired Tooltex, Inc., an Ohio corporation
     ("Tooltex"), through a merger transaction (the "Merger"). Pursuant to an
     Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 25, 1997, (the "Plan of Merger"),
     among the Company, SM Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly owned
     subsidiary of Sonics ("Sonics Sub"), Tooltex, and the shareholders of
     Tooltex, (the "Tooltex Shareholders"), Tooltex was merged with and into
     Sonics Sub. Under the Plan of Merger, the shareholders of Tooltex received,
     in exchange for 100% of the stock of Tooltex, (i) an aggregate of 70,000
     shares of Sonics Common Stock, pare value $.03 per share, (the "Common
     Stock"), (ii) $70,000 and (iii) options to purchase 10,000 shares of Sonics
     Common Stock (the "Options"). There were no underwriters involved in the
     transaction and no underwriting commissions were paid. The Tooltex
     Shareholders receiving the Sonics' Common Stock and Options were Paul
     Spurgeon and Benjamin Egelhoff, both residents of the State of Ohio, the
     sole shareholders of Tooltex and the President and Vice-President of
     Tooltex, respectively.

     In selling the Common Stock and the Options, the Company relied upon
     Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In relying upon
     such exemption, the Company considered the limited number of offerees and
     purchasers of the securities (two), the private nature of the transaction,
     the level of negotiation between the parties, the delivery to the Tooltex
     Shareholders of all documents filed by the Company under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the availability of the officers of
     Sonics to the Tooltex Shareholders, limitations on transfer placed by the
     Company on the Common Stock and Options, and certain investment
     representations of the Tooltex Shareholders made in the Plan of Merger.

     Each Tooltex Shareholder received an Option to purchase 5,000 share of
     Common Stock. Such Options are exercisable commencing two years after the
     Merger (and in certain circumstances prior to this date) and terminating 10
     years after the Merger at an exercise price equal to the last closing price
     of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the Merger as reported on
     Nasdaq, or $2.94 per share. Under certain circumstances, these options may
     terminate prior to the expiration date.

(d)  In connection with the Company's initial public offering, on June 20, 1996,
     the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a
     Form SR reporting the use of proceeds from such offering. Additional Forms
     SR were subsequently filed by the Company. There have been no changes to
     the information filed in the most recent Form SR
