      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 basis over 20 years. The Company had sales to Tooltex of
approximately $1,000 and $29,000 for the three and six months ended December 31,
1996, respectively. 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 and six months
ended December 31, 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.

      NOTE 5:  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 of up to $1,500,000; and (iii) a
Term Loan in the original principal amount of $427,000.

The Bridge Loan which bore interest at the Bank's base lending rate plus
one-half percent (9.0% at December 31, 1997), was repaid in full in December
1997.

The Line of Credit is used by the Company for working capital. The Line of
Credit bears interest, at Sonics' option, at either the Bank's base lending rate
(8.5% at December 31, 1997) or LIBOR plus 2.5% (8.25% at December 31, 1997).
Advances under the Line of Credit are at the Bank's sole discretion. The entire
principal balance of the Line of Credit, which at December 31, 1997 was
$1,155,000, 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 $403,278,
which bears interest, at Sonics' option, at either the Bank's base lending rate
(8.5% at December 31, 1997) or LIBOR plus 2.5% (8.25% at December 31, 1997). 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.

In December 1997, the Company issued Industrial Revenue Bonds through the
Connecticut Development Authority in the amount of $3,810,000. The proceeds were
used in part to pay in full the outstanding interest and principal due on the
Bridge loan discussed above. The remaining proceeds are invested in short term
securities and are to be used exclusively for the purchase and preparation of
the Company's new facilities, and to purchase new machinery and equipment. The
bonds, held by the Bank, mature in November 2017, and bear interest at 75% of
the Bank's base lending rate (6.4 % at December 31, 1997). The Company is to
begin to redeem the principal in 228 equal monthly installments of $16,700
beginning December 1998.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     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 annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June
30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996.

     Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 remained
relatively constant compared with the same period in fiscal 1997, increasing
$69,000 or 2.5%. This slight increase is primarily the result of the acquisition
and consolidation of Tooltex offset by decreased sales volume generated by the
Company's Aston, PA division.

     Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 51.0% of sales for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 to 54.3% of sales for the three months ended
December 31, 1997. A portion of this increase is attributable to the acquisition
and consolidation of Tooltex. In addition, the Company has experienced increased
costs associated with the manufacture of the vibration welder in connection with
the continuing redesign of the product for better cost effectiveness. These
factors, combined with the product mix, account for this increase in cost of
sales as a percent of sales.

     Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1998
increased $9,000 or 1.0% over the same period in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of
net sales these expenses remained relatively constant, decreasing to 31.4% for
the three months ended December 31, 1997 from 31.9% for the three months ended
December 31, 1996.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $27,000 or 9.5% over the second
quarter of fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased
to 11.4% from 10.6% over the same period in fiscal 1997. This increase is a
result of the acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex. The Company began
consolidating the financial results of Tooltex as of July 1, 1997. As such, the
current quarter reflects consolidated results, whereas the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 did not.

     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
remained relatively constant over the two periods, decreasing $1,000 or 1.0%.

                                       8

     Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $60,000 or 319.0%.
This is due to increased debt carried by the Company in connection with the
purchase of real property in Newtown, Connecticut. A more detailed explanation
of the new credit facilities can be found in the liquidity and capital resources
section of the MD&A. The Company also had higher average borrowings on it's line
of credit than in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

     Other Income. Other income for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased
by $69,000 over the same period in fiscal 1997. This is the result of the
acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex. Tooltex earned approximately $62,000
resulting from the forgiveness by its vendors of debts owed.

        SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1996.

     Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1997 increased
$650,000 or 12.3% over the same period in fiscal 1997. This increase is
primarily the result of the acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex, combined
with slightly increased volume in domestic markets for the Company's ultrasonic
welding equipment, offset by decreased sales volume generated by the Company's
Aston, PA division.

     Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 51.7% of sales for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 to 56.6% of sales for the six months ended
December 31, 1997. This increase is partially attributable to the acquisition
and consolidation of Tooltex. In addition, Cost of Sales for the six months
ended December 31, 1997 was 55.1% of sales, excluding the effect of the
consolidation of Tooltex, compared to 51.7% for the same period last year. The
Company has experienced increased costs associated with the manufacture of the
vibration welder in an effort to redesign the product for better cost
effectiveness. These factors, combined with the product mix, account for this
increase in cost of sales as a percent of sales.

     Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1998
increased $54,000 or 3.5% over the same period in fiscal 1997. As a percentage
of net sales these expenses decreased to 27.2% from 29.4% over the same period
in fiscal 1997. 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 six months of fiscal 1998 increased $115,000 or 22.6% over the
same period in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses
increased to 10.6% from 9.7% over the same period in fiscal 1997. This increase
is a result of the acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex. The Company began
consolidating the financial results of Tooltex as of July 1, 1997. As such, the
current quarter reflects consolidated results, whereas the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 did not.

     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $50,000 or 19.8% over the same period in fiscal 1997. The increase was
primarily due to increased use of outside consulting services for several
development projects in the first quarter.

     Interest Income. Interest income decreased by approximately $24,000 or
31.4% over the same period in fiscal 1997. In the second half of fiscal 1996,
the Company reduced its invested balance by approximately $1,345,000. These
funds were used to reduce debt and for working capital. The use of these funds
resulted in a reduction of the average daily invested balance by about 30%.

     Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $65,000 or 126.20%.
This is due to increased debt carried by the Company in connection with the
purchase of real property in Newtown, Connecticut. A more detailed explanation
of the new credit facilities can be found under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company also had higher average borrowings on its line of credit than in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997.

                                       9

<PAGE>




     Other Income. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 1997
increased by $77,000 over the same period in fiscal 1997. This is the result of
the acquisition and consolidation of Tooltex. Tooltex recognized approximately
$62,000 resulting from the forgiveness of debts by its vendors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations of the Company used approximately $606,000 during the six months
ended December 31, 1997 as a result of increasing accounts receivable while
paying down accounts payable balances. During the first half of fiscal 1998, the
Company invested approximately $25,000 in new capital equipment and leasehold
improvements and $1,390,000 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 December 31, 1997, the
Company's working capital had increased to 7,961,000 representing an increase of
approximately 34.0%. This increase is the result of conversion of short term
debt to long term debt as discussed below.

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 of up to $1,500,000; and (iii) a
Term Loan in the original principal amount of $427,000.

The Bridge Loan which bore interest at the Bank's base lending rate plus
one-half percent (9.0% at December 31, 1997), was repaid in full in December
1997.

The Line of Credit is used by the Company for working capital. The Line of
Credit bears interest, at Sonics' option, at either the Bank's base lending rate
(8.5% at December 31, 1997) or LIBOR plus 2.5% (8.25% at December 31, 1997).
Advances under the Line of Credit are at the Bank's sole discretion. The entire
principal balance of the Line of Credit, which at December 31, 1997 was
$1,155,000, 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 $403,278,
which bears interest, at Sonics' option, at either the Bank's base lending rate
(8.5% at December 31, 1997) or LIBOR plus 2.5% (8.25% at December 31, 1997). 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.

In December 1997, the Company issued Industrial Revenue Bonds through the
Connecticut Development Authority in the amount of $3,810,000. The proceeds were
used in part to pay in full the outstanding interest and principal due on the
Bridge loan discussed above. The remaining proceeds are invested in short term
securities and are to be used exclusively for the purchase and preparation of
the Company's new facilities, and to purchase new machinery and equipment. The
bonds, held by the Bank, mature in November 2017, and bear interest at 6.4%. The
Company is to begin to redeem the principal in 228 equal monthly installments of
$16,700 beginning December 1998.
