      NOTE 4: Other Transactions.

In December 1999, the Company's lender approved the application of approximately
$187,000 of $400,000 in restricted cash towards the repayment of Tooltex bank

now available for working capital purpose.

The Company and its lender are currently negotiating an amendment to the credit
agreement to include eligible Tooltex accounts receivable and inventory in the
determination of loan availability under the working capital line. The line of
credit is expected to remain at $1,500,000.

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 any related patent litigation may hinder the Company's ability
to market its ultrasonic surgical 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.

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, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the three months ended December
31, 1998.

      Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 increased
$321,000 or 11.1% over the quarter ended December 31, 1998. This increase is
primarily the result of increased sales of specialized equipment in the quarter
ended December 31,1999.

      Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 56.4% of net sales for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 to 61.3% of sales for the three months
ended December 31, 1999. This increase is due to increased sales in the quarter
of specialized equipment manufactured by Sonics and Tooltex which typically have
lower profits margins than the Company's standard equipment.

      Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2000
decreased $8,000 or 1.2% over the same period in fiscal 1999. As a percentage of
net sales, selling expenses decreased from 23.7% to 21.1% over the same periods.
This decrease was due to a reduction in sales staff.

      General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased $35,000 or 10.0% over the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased
from 12.0% to 9.8% over the same periods. This decrease in primarily the result
of decreased professional fees and legal costs.

      Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $20,000 or 25.9% over the same period in fiscal 1998. This is
primarily the result of a planned expansion of the Research and Development
department, which included the addition of one Research and Development
technician.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2000
decreased by $10,000 or 9.3% over the same period in fiscal 1999. Principal
monthly installments on the industrial revenue bond of $16,700 began in January
of 1999. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources).

      Interest and Other Income. Interest income for the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 increased by $13,000 over the same period in fiscal 1999. This
increase in the result of higher interest rate on the short-term investments.

      Income Taxes. At the end of fiscal 1998, management reversed the balance
in the tax valuation allowance offsetting deferred tax assets because in its
view it became more likely than not that the benefits provided by; those assets
would be realized. Income tax expense of $29,000 for the quarter ended

<PAGE>

December 31, 1999 is based on an estimate combined federal and state tax rate of
approximately 30%. The Company has sufficient net operating losses available to
offset taxable income for the current quarter. Income tax for the 1998 second
quarter was offset by tax benefits provided by deferred tax assets.

Six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the six months ended December 31,
1998.

      Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999 increased
$370,000 or 5.8% over the same period in fiscal 1999. This increase is primarily
the result of increased sales of specialized equipment as well as increased
domestic sales volume.

      Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 58.9% of net sales for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 to 63.8% of sales for the six months ended
December 31, 1999. This increase is primarily the result of increased sales of
specialized equipment, which typically have lower profit margins than the
Company's standard equipment.

      Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first half of fiscal 2000
decreased $190,000 or 12.5% over the same period in fiscal 1999. As a percentage
of net sales, selling expenses decreased from 23.8% to 19.7% over the same
periods. This is in large part the result of the cost cutting lay-offs
implemented by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

      General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first half of fiscal 2000 decreased $36,000 or 6.1% over the first half
of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreasing from
9.3% to 8.3% over the same periods. This decrease is partially the result of
salary reductions and decreased professional fees and legal costs.

      Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $1,000 over the same period in fiscal 1999. This increase primarily
relates to the addition of one Research and Development Technician, offset by
the reduction in outside consulting.

      Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income for the first half of
fiscal 2000 increased by $5,000 over the same period in fiscal 1999. This
increase is the result of higher interest rates on the short-term investments.

      Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $26,000 or 11.7%.
Principal monthly installments on the industrial revenue bond of $16,700 began
in January of 1999. Interest rates will increase as a result of changes in its
credit agreement with the bank. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources).

      Income Taxes. At the end of fiscal 1998, management reversed the balance
in the tax valuation allowance offsetting deferred tax assets because in its
view it became more likely than not that the benefits provided by; those assets
would be realized. Income tax expense of $59,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1999 is based on an estimated combined federal and state tax rate
of approximately 30%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from the Company's operations increased approximately $361,000 during
the three months ended December 31, 1999 as a result of increased accounts
receivable accompanied by a reduction of Accounts Payable, and inventory. During
the first half of fiscal 2000, the Company invested approximately $33,000 in new
capital equipment. The Company was able to raise the funds necessary for these
expenditures through the normal course of business.

The Company's principal outside source of working capital is a $1,500,000 bank
credit facility. The Line of Credit bears interest, at the Bank's base lending
rate (8.5% at December 31, 1999). 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, 1999 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.

<PAGE>

The outstanding principal amount of the Company's Term Loan at December 31, 1999
is $219,782, which bears interest, at the Bank's base lending rate (8.5% at
December 31, 1999). The principal of the term loan was to be paid in 36 equal
monthly installments of $11,861, which commenced on November 1, 1997 and the
entire remaining principal balance was to mature and be due payable on October
1, 2000. In July of 1998, however, the Company renegotiated the terms of the
Term Loan. Beginning August 1, 1998 the remaining balance of $320,250 is to be
paid in 51 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 outstanding
principal amount of the Industrial Revenue Bond at December 31, 1999 was
$3,626,247, which bears interest at a rate of 75% of the Banks base lending rate
(6.375% at December 31,1999). The Company's current lender purchased the bonds
pursuant to the credit agreement. Bonds were purchased by the Company's current
lender pursuant to the credit agreement. The proceeds were used in part to pay
existing indebtedness of approximately $1,343,000. Most of the remaining
proceeds have been used exclusively for the purchase and preparation of the
Company's new facilities, and to purchase new machinery and equipment. Unapplied
funds of $38,000 at December 31, 1999 have been invested in short-term
securities and can be used to repay principal due under the Bonds. The Bonds are
payable in 228 monthly installments of $16,700 plus interest through November
2017. The bondholder, however, may make written demand for redemption of all or
part of outstanding principal and accrued interest commencing in December 2000.

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 outstanding principal of the note at December 31, 1999 was $172,876.
In December 1999, the Company's lender approved the application of approximately
$187,000 of the $400,000 in restricted cash towards the repayment of the Tooltex
bank debt. The lender also lifted restrictions on the balance of the funds,
which are now available for working capital purpose.

The Company and its lender are currently negotiating an amendment to the credit
agreement to include eligible Tooltex accounts receivable and inventory in the
determination of loan availability under the working capital line. The line of
credit is expected to remain at $1,500,000.

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, the year 2000 bug does not affect them. The Company did not
have the need to incur any material costs in preparation for the year 2000.
There can be no assurance 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. However, to date, no other
companies which the Company's systems rely upon have demonstrated any failure to
be timely converted.
