financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These
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, 1999. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30,
2000.

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
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 have negotiated an amendment to the credit agreement
that includes eligible Tooltex accounts receivable and inventory in the
determination of loan availability under the working capital line. The line of
credit has remained 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 ultrasonic 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 March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999.
Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased
$342,000 or 10.3% over the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase is
primarily the result of increased sales generated by the sale of specialized
equipment by Sonics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tooltex.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 60.8% of net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 to 62.6% of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily the result of increased sales in the
quarter of specialized equipment manufactured by Sonics and Tooltex which
typically have a lower profit margin than the standard machinery manufactured by
Sonics.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2000
increased $123,000 or 17.9% over the same period in fiscal 1999. As a percentage
of net sales, selling expenses increased from 20.7% to 22.1% over the same
periods. This increase is in large part the result of the increase in sales
staff to provide more coverage in the West Coast market. Additional expenses
were incurred due to participation in trade shows to improve visibility in
various markets.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased $53,000 or 15.6% over the third
quarter of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased,
from 10.2% to 7.8% over the same periods. This decrease is primarily the result
of lower professional fees and legal costs.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $18,000 or 20.3% over the same period in fiscal 1999. 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 third quarter of fiscal 2000
increased by $3,000 over the same period in fiscal 1999 due primarily to higher
interest rates. The impact of the rate increase in 2000 was offset in part by
overall debt reduction. In December of 1999, the Company's lender approved the
application of approximately $187,000 restricted cash toward the repayment of
the Tooltex bank debt. The lender also lifted restrictions on the balance of the
funds, $213,000 of which are now available for working capital purpose. (See
Liquidity and Capital Resources.)
Interest and Other Income. Other income for the three months ended March
31, 2000 decreased $15,000 or 108.7% over the same period in fiscal 1999.
Interest income declined due to the use of invested funds for the repayment of
the Tooltex bank debt of $187,000.
Nine months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended March 31,
1999.
Net sales. Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 increased
$713,000 or 7.3% over the same period in fiscal 1999. International sales
increased by 12.9% over the same nine months in fiscal 1999. This increase is
primarily the result of increased sales of specialized equipment by Sonics and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Tooltex.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 59.6% of net sales for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999 to 63.4% of sales for the nine months ended
March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily the result of specialized equipment
generated by Sonics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tooltex. Specialized
equipment typically has lower profit margins than the Company's standard
equipment.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first three quarters of fiscal
2000 decreased $67,000 or 3.0% over the same period in fiscal 1999. As a
percentage of net sales, selling expenses decreased from 22.7% to 20.6% over the
same periods. This is partially the result of salary reductions along with
additional cost savings implemented in fiscal 2000. The company has recently
increased its sales staff and promotional cost in an effort to develop certain
domestic markets.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first three quarters of fiscal 2000 decreased $89,000 or 9.5% over the
first three quarters of fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these
expenses decreased from 9.6% to 8.1% over the same periods. This decrease is
partially the result of salary reductions as well as decreased professional fees
and legal costs.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $19,000 or 6.7% over the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase
primarily relates to the addition of one Research and Development Technician,
offset by the reduction in outside consulting.
Interest and Other Income. Interest income for the first three quarters of
fiscal 2000 decreased by $10,000 over the same period in fiscal 1999. This is
due to the use of invested funds to repay the Tooltex bank debt of $187,000.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased for the first three
quarters of fiscal year 2000 by $22,000 or 7.1%. This is due to decreased debt
carried by the Company in connection with the industrial revenue bond and payoff
of Tooltex bank debt. Interest charges are expected to increase for the balance
of the fiscal year in light of the rising cost interest rate environment on all
outstanding debt subject to interest rates.
Income Taxes. At the end of fiscal 1999, 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 $67,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 2000 is based on an estimate combined federal and state tax related to the
current nine months profits and deferred tax obligation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating cash flow increased approximately $242,000 during the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 as a result of increased accounts payable accompanied by a
reduction of inventory. During the nine months
of fiscal 2000, the Company invested approximately $58,000 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 (9.0% at March 31, 200). Advances under the Line of Credit are at the
Bank's sole discretion. The entire principal balance of the Line of Credit,
which at March 31, 2000 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 outstanding principal amount of the Company's Term Loan at March 31, 2000 is
194,662, which bears interest, at the Bank's base lending rate (9.0% at March
31, 2000). 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 March 31, 2000 was $3,559,342
which bears interest at a rate of 75% of the Banks base lending rate (6.75% at
March 31,2000). 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. 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.
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 purposes.
The Company and its lender have negotiated an amendment to the credit agreement
that includes eligible Tooltex accounts receivable and inventory in the
determination of loan availability under the working capital line. The line of
credit has remained att $1,500,000.
