Any statements in this filing that are not statements of historical fact are
forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of important risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Specifically, any forward looking statements in this filing related to the
Company's objective for 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 demand for Sonics' existing and new products,
continued growth in sales and market share of Sonics and its USS products,
pricing, market acceptance of existing and new products, a fluctuation in the
sales product mix, general economic conditions, competitive products, and
product technology development. There can be no assurance that such objectives
will be achieved. The Company's objectives of future growth, profitability and
financial returns are also subject to the uncertainty of Vibra~Surge Corporation
being able to successfully market its ultrasonics surgical device. It is also
uncertain 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. It is
also uncertain whether the Company's recent cost cutting measures will result in
increased profitability.

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, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997.

      Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased
$341,000 or 11.0% over the same period in fiscal 1998. This increase is
primarily the result of increased sales generated by the Company's Tooltex
subsidiary("Tooltex").

      Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 58.6% of net sales for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 to 61.0% of sales for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily the result of increased
sales generated by Tooltex. Tooltex primarily manufactures custom machinery with
a lower profit margin than the machinery manufactured by Sonics.

      Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1999
increased $95,000 or 12.9% over the same period in fiscal 1998. As a percentage
of net sales, selling expenses remained relatively constant, increasing from
23.5% to 23.9% over the same periods.

      General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased $65,000 or 21.0% over the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased
to 7.0% from 9.9% over the same period in fiscal 1998. This decrease is
partially the result of an annual salary reduction of approximately $84,000
taken by the President in fiscal 1999.

      Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
decreased $38,000 or 25.5% over the same period in fiscal 1998. The increase was
primarily due to a reduction in labor costs and consulting expenses resulting
from the completion of the design of the Company's ultrasonic surgical device.

      Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $77,000 or 223.5%.
This is due to increased debt carried by the Company in connection with the
purchase of real property in Newtown, Connecticut. The Company also had higher
average borrowings on its line of credit than in the first quarter of fiscal
1998.

      Interest Income. Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 1999
increased by $26,000 over the same period in fiscal 1998. This is the result of
the investment of the proceeds from the Industrial Revenue Bond issue. (See
Liquidity and Capital Resources.)

<PAGE>

      Income Taxes Total income tax expense for the three months ended September
30, 1998 decreased $16,000 or 100.0% compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The absence of a provision in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 is the result of a net operating loss carryforward from fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations of the Company used approximately $358,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 1998 as a result of increased inventory and accounts
receivable accompanied by a reduction of accounts payable. During the first
quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company invested approximately $35,000 in new
capital equipment. The Company was able to raise the funds necessary for these
expenditures through the sale of certain short-term investments and the
financing activities described below.

On September 19, 1997, the Company entered into a new credit arrangement with a
bank and repaid loans outstanding with its previous lender. The agreement, as
amended on October 13, 1998, provides for four credit facilities, including (i)
a Bridge Loan in the original principal amount of $1,600,000, (ii) a Line of
Credit of up to $1,500,000, (iii) a term loan of $427,000, and (iv) a tax-exempt
industrial development loan in the aggregate amount of $3,810,000. The loans are
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including a first
mortgage lien on the Company's manufacturing facility in Newtown, CT.

The Bridge Loan which carried interest at the Bank's base lending rate plus
one-half percent was repaid in full in December 1997.

The Company's principal outside source of working capital is a $1,500,000 bank
credit facility. The Line of Credit bears interest, as amended, at the Bank's
base lending rate (8.25% at September 30, 1998). 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 30, 1998 was $1,465,101, 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.

The proceeds of the Term Loan refinanced a term loan with another bank with
interest and principal totaling $427,000. The outstanding principal amount of
the Term Loan at September 30, 1998 is $307,691, which bears interest, as
amended, at the Bank's base lending rate (8.25% at September 30, 1998). The
remaining balance is to be paid in monthly installments of $6,279, and the
entire remaining principal balance will mature and be due and payable on October
1, 2002. 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.

In December 1997, the Company issued Industrial Revenue Bonds through the
Connecticut Development Authority in the amount of $3,810,000. The bonds were
purchased by the Company's current lender pursuant to the credit agreement. The
proceeds were used in part to (i) pay in full the outstanding interest and
principal due on the Bridge Loan discussed above (ii) purchase and preparation
of the Company's new facilities, and (iii) to purchase new machinery and
equipment. The Company has used a total of $2,157,000 of the proceeds for these
purposes through September 30, 1998. Unapplied funds have been invested in
short-term securities and are to be used to repay interest and principal due
under the Industrial Revenue Bond. The Bonds, held by the Bank, mature in
November 2017, and bear interest at 75% of the Bank's base lending rate (6 3/16%
at September 30, 1998). The Company is to begin to redeem the principal in 228
equal monthly installments of $16,700 beginning January 1999. The bondholder,
however, may make written demand for redemption of all or a part of outstanding
principal and accrued interest commencing in December 2000. In connection with
the IRB loan, the Company maintains a compensating balance of $400,000 with the
Bank. These funds are invested in U. S. Treasury Bonds.

Tooltex's principal credit facility is a term note in the original principal
amount of $461,000, and is guaranteed by the Company. The loan is payable in
forty-eight monthly installments of $9,604 plus interest at the prime rate plus
1 1/2%. The loan is secured by a first lien on the assets of Tooltex and is
subject to various covenants.
<PAGE>

The Company has instituted cost cutting measures in the form of lay-offs
effective September 25, 1998. In total, the Company has reduced staffing by 11
people, or 9%, through these lay-offs and attrition, primarily in the
manufacturing and sales departments. Through these staffing cuts and other cost
saving measures to be put in place by Tooltex in the second quarter of fiscal
1999, the Company expects to save approximately $643,000 annually. In connection
with the cost cutting measures, the Company incurred a one-time charge of
approximately $48,000.

Management has initiated a company-wide program to prepare the Company's
computer systems and applications for the year 2000, as well as identify
critical third parties which the Company relies upon to operate its business to
assess their readiness for the year 2000. Management has determined that the
main computer systems that the Company relies upon to manage its operations are
year 2000 compliant. In addition, since the Company's products do not have an
internal date/clock, they are not affected by the year 2000 bug. The Company has
not had the need to incur any material costs in preparation for the year 2000.
Management cannot presently estimate any future costs of this program; however
such costs are not currently expected to be material to the Company's operations
or financial condition. The Company is currently contacting its major vendors to
assess their readiness for the year 2000. Presently, the Company is not aware of
any key vendors or customers, whose potential inability to achieve year 2000
compliance in time would have a material adverse effect to the operations of the
Company. There can be no assurance, however, that the systems of other companies
which the Company's systems rely upon will be timely converted, or that such
failure to convert by another company would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's systems and results of operations.

In June 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," were
issued. SFAS 130 addresses standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components, and SFAS 131 requires disclosure of reportable
operating segments. In February 1998, SFAS 132, "Employers' Disclosures About
Pensions and Other Post-retirement Plans" was issued. SFAS 132 standardizes
pension disclosures. These statements are effective in fiscal 1999. The Company
will be reviewing these pronouncements to determine their applicability, if any.
