     NOTE 4: INCOME TAXES

     The Company adopted "Statement of Accounting  Standards No. 109, Accounting
For Income Taxes" (SFAS 109)  effective  April 1, 1994.  The statement  requires
that deferred  income taxes reflect the future tax  consequences  of differences
between the tax bases of assets and  liabilities  and their bases for  financial
reporting purposes. In addition, SFAS 109 requires the recognition of future tax
benefits,  such  as  net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  to  the  extent  that
realization of such benefits are more likely than not.

     The primary components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
and the related valuation allowance are as follows:

     The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and
recognizes a benefit from income taxes only when reassessment  indicates that it
is more likely than not that the benefits  will be realized.  In fiscal 1998 the
Company reduced the valuation  allowance  applied against the net operating loss
carryforwards, based upon tax planning strategies and future income projections.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards  of
$1,324,000  expiring  from 2001 to 2007.  In  addition,  unused  tax  credits of
$144,000 expire from 1999 to 2001 and are also being carried forward.

     NOTE 6: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

     The  Company  has  adopted  "Statement  of  Accounting  Standards  No. 130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" (SFAS 130), which  establishes  standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (i.e. revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in a complete set of financial statements. All prior
periods have been restated to conform to the provisions of this statement.

     NOTE 7: INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN COMPANY

     In  August  1998  the  Company  advanced  $100,000  to  Conforma,  n.v.,  a
closely-held Belgian company engaged in the processing of pharmaceutical related
products.  It is anticipated  that this advance will  subsequently  be converted
into a  long-term  equity  investment.  Accordingly,  during the  quarter  ended
December  31, 1998 the  Company  reduced  the  carrying  value of the advance by
$36,319, representing its allocated share of Conforma's loss for the most recent
quarterly period.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>


     The advance was financed  with funds  generated by use of a margin  account
with a financial services company.  The margined securities suffered declines in
market value  resulting  in margin  calls made on the Company.  In order to meet
these obligations,  in September 1998 the Company made cash payments aggregating
$22,000 and sold some of its holdings. The net proceeds from the liquidations of
the securities were $47,420,  resulting in a realized loss of $126,580, which is
included in other expense. In December 1998, additional margin calls resulted in
a cash  payment of $11,000 to reduce the margin  debt.  As of December 31, 1998,
the margin obligation was reduced to approximately $21,000, which is expected to
be fully paid during the quarter ending March 1999.

                      THERMODYNETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales of  $2,495,222  for the three months ended  December 31, 1998 declined
slightly from the prior  quarter's  record level of $2,665,374.  Compared to the
same  quarter  of the prior  year,  sales  increased  by  $433,811  or 21%.  The
company's third fiscal quarter has  historically  exhibited lower sales than the
previous  quarterly  periods  due to  seasonal  construction  industry  building
patterns which create demands for heating and air  conditioning  equipment.  For
the nine-month period, sales of $7,763,052 represented an increase of $1,316,769
or 20% over the first three quarters of the prior year.

The large  increase  in sales  over the prior  year  continues  the trend  begun
towards the end of the prior fiscal year.  Several  factors are  responsible for
this growth including a return to more seasonal  temperature patterns across the
United  States,  increased  demand from existing  customers  and the  successful
introduction of new product applications for the Company's tubing product line.

The Company's core business of  manufacturing  water source coaxial coils to OEM
heat pump  manufacturers has continued to grow as a result of both strong levels
of domestic  commercial and residential  construction and increased market share
garnered by the Company's larger customers. Other established markets have shown
strong growth during the entire year, including swimming pool heat pumps, marine
applications and biomedical products.

Cost of sales aggregated 75% of net sales for the current quarter as compared to
74% of sales for the same  period  last  year.  For the nine  months of both the
current and prior year,  cost of sales was 73% of sales. As a result of slightly
lower production levels during the third quarter,  indirect  manufacturing costs
per unit  increased,  as fewer  units  were  produced  to  absorb  manufacturing
overhead  expenses.  The costs of direct  materials,  represented  primarily  by
copper and copper alloy tubing,  and direct labor have remained  stable for both
the current and past year,  which has helped to maintain  gross  margins.  Minor
cost increases have been offset by increased efficiencies, further demonstrating
the benefits of introducing cellular  manufacturing and just-in-time  production
techniques to the shop floor.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by $80,757 (20%) for the
three months and $142,811  (11%) for the  nine-month  period and compared to the
prior year results.  Additions to staffing in engineering,  customer service and
other  support  services  accounted  for a  portion  of the  increase  in costs.
Compensation  adjustments  and higher costs for employee  fringe  benefits  also
contributed to the increase over the prior year periods.

Operating  income increased by $10,248 and $191,296 for the three and nine-month
periods of 1999,  compared to the same periods of the prior year.  Higher levels
of sales for all periods generated  significant increases in gross profit, which
offset the large increase in operating expenses.

Interest  expense  increased in absolute terms, but decreased as a percentage of
net sales for the  current  year  periods as  compared  to fiscal  1998.  Higher
average  levels of revolving debt were  outstanding in 1999,  resulting from the
need to fund higher inventory levels necessary to support  increased  production
activities.  However,  a reduction in the prime rate  created a lower  effective
borrowing rate,  which served to reduce debt service payments during the current
year periods.

In August  1998 the  Company  advanced  $100,000 to  Conforma,  n.v.,  a Belgian
company  engaged in the processing of  pharmaceutical  related  products.  It is
anticipated  that this advance will  subsequently  be converted into a long-term
equity  investment.  During the  quarter  ended  December  31,  1998 the Company
reduced the carrying value of the advance by $36,315, representing its allocated
share of


                                      -9-
<PAGE>


Conforma's loss for the most recent quarterly  period.  This amount is reflected
as other expense during the current quarter.

In September 1998 the Company  liquidated  certain  marketable equity securities
that were  subject to a margin  agreement  with a  financial  services  company.
Consequently,  a loss of $126,580 was charged to operations  during that current
quarter,  representing the difference  between the proceeds of the sales and the
cost basis of the securities.  No such transactions  occurred during the current
period.

Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  adjustments  for  the  periods  represents
unrealized holding gains (losses) for marketable equity securities that are held
by the Company as long-term investments.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital at December 31, 1998 was $425,119  compared to $443,505 at March
31, 1998 and  $687,947  at  December  31,  1997.  During the current  nine month
period,  current  assets  increased  by  $418,721,  largely due to  increases in
inventories required to support higher production levels. Concurrently,  current
liabilities  increased by $437,107 consisting primarily of additional borrowings
under the  revolving  line of credit.  These  advances  were used to finance the
additional  investments in operating assets and capital  expenditures during the
quarter.

Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  totaled  $109,120  for the current
nine-month   period  compared  to  net  cash  generated  of  $210,108  in  1997.
Inventories and other current assets increased by a total of $465,162 during the
period,  reflecting the  substantial  increase in shipments over the prior year.
Accounts  receivable  decreased  by $53,894  over the same  period,  believed to
reflect a timing  difference  as the  average  balance of  receivables  has also
increased as a function of significantly higher sales in fiscal 1999. Net income
from operating activities for the current nine months was $345,051, or 4% of net
sales, after adding back  non-operating  charges for losses of $162,895 relating
to long-term investments.  For the same period last year, income from operations
totaled $176,797, or 3% of net sales. Cash generated from operations was used to
fund a portion of the increase in operating  assets,  with the balance  financed
through the revolving debt facility.

Cash used in  investing  activities  increased  from  $374,220 in fiscal 1997 to
$424,633 for the nine months  ended  December  1998.  In August 1998 the Company
completed a long-term  investment  in a foreign  company which was financed with
funds generated by use of a margin account with a financial services company. To
meet the margin calls made on the Company in September  and December  1998,  the
Company  made  cash  payments  aggregating  $33,000  and sold a  portion  of its
holdings in another  long-term  equity  investment.  The net proceeds from these
sales were $47,420.

Capital expenditures increased by $74,934 over the prior year period. Additional
machinery and equipment was added during the year to meet  increased  production
requirements.   Also,  certain   enhancements  and  upgrades  to  the  Company's
information  processing  systems were completed in fiscal1999.  As a result, the
Company's  internal  systems  are  now  believed  to  be  year  2000  compliant.
Communications  with major suppliers and customers  indicate that their programs
in this area are  progressing  and the Company does not  anticipate any problems
associated  with  year  2000  issues  at this  time.  Anticipated  purchases  of
production  equipment  for the  balance  of the year and  fiscal  year  2000 are
expected  to run  slightly  higher  than the  prior  year due to the need to add
production capacity to support higher sales and shipping levels.

Cash  provided by  financing  activities  totaled  $316,216 for the current nine
months  compared to $164,166 in the prior year.  The revolving debt facility was
used to finance  additions to inventories,  capital projects and other equipment
purchases  during the period.  In October 1998 the Company's  bank increased the
maximum  borrowings  available  under  the  revolving  line of  credit  and also
authorized  a new  facility to finance  capital  expenditures.  The revised debt
structure  is expected to provide  sufficient  resources  to fund the  Company's
requirements for the foreseeable future.


                                      -10-

Inflation  and  other  cost  increases  continue  to  play a  minor  role in the
Company's day to day  operations.  Improvements in  manufacturing  processes and
procedures,  coupled with small  increases in purchased  goods and services have
enabled the Company to maintain  its current  cost  structure.  Stability in the
precious metals markets has also enabled the Company to continue to purchase raw
materials  at  competitive  prices  for  conversion  into  products  shipped  to
customers. As the Company continues its conversion to cellular manufacturing and
just-in time manufacturing  techniques,  further cost reductions are anticipated
which should  offset  future  effects of inflation for the balance of the fiscal
year.
