Item 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

      On September  16, 2004,  Ionatron,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  completed  the
acquisition  of  substantially  all of the assets and  assumed  liabilities  for
warranty  claims and other accrued  expenses of North Star Research  Corporation
("North Star"),  a New Mexico  corporation  engaged in the business of designing
and  manufacturing  a broad range of high  voltage  equipment  for the  defense,
aerospace, semi-conductor, and medical industries.

      As  consideration  for North Star's  assets,  the Company  paid  $700,000,
issued  199,063  shares of the Company's  common  stock.  The stock is valued at
$1,700,000,  which is $8.54 per share and is based on the average  closing  sale
price for Ionatron  common stock for  September  8th, 9th and 10th in accordance
with the Asset Purchase Agreement, which approximates the value at September 16,
2004. The transaction was effected through a newly-formed subsidiary, North Star
Research Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation,  and was funded through cash
on hand.

Independent Auditors' Report

Board of Directors
North Star Research Corporation
Albuquerque, New Mexico

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets  of  North  Star  Research
Corporation  (the  "Company") as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and
the related statements of income and retained  earnings,  and cash flows for the
nine month period ended  September 30, 2004 and for the year ended  December 31,
2003.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 11, the financial statements referred to above are intended
to present the historical  financial position and results of operations of North
Star  Research  Corporation  prior to the sale of the  Company  and  accordingly
purchase accounting  adjustments have not been applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of North Star Research Corporation
at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003,  and the results of its  operations
and its cash flows for the nine month  period ended  September  30, 2004 and for
the year ended  December  31,  2003 in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 2004

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations. North Star Research Corporation (Company) was incorporated
in the State of New  Mexico in 1986.  The  Company  evolved  from  research  and
development  (R&D) to  manufacturing  and R&D for a variety  of  government  and
commercial  customers around the world. During the period from 2001 to 2004, the
major  business  of the  Company  was the  manufacture  of custom  high  voltage
equipment, including particle accelerators, generators, transformer driven pulse
generators and DC power supplies. Work in high voltage probe/driver  manufacture
and X-ray system  development  is also  performed.  This equipment was generally
found by others to be difficult to build and the Company often builds  equipment
considered to be impossible,  too risky, or nearly  impossible by other vendors.
Work is performed on cost plus fixed fee, fixed price,  and cost plus percentage
markup  ("variable fee") contract basis.  Contract length varies,  but typically
averages less than a year. In addition,  the Company  produces a small amount of
standardized  products.  If there are long-term  advantages for the Company, the
Company will also take work on specification. Milestone and interim payments are
often used to help fund the work.

The  Company  has  know-how,  patents  pending,  and  patents  in the  areas  of
accelerator development,  high voltage power supplies,  X-ray technology,  pulse
generator   fabrication   and  fault   tolerance,   and   surface   modification
technologies.  Applications  of the  Company's  products  are in  the  areas  of
semiconductor  manufacturing,  X-ray inspection for security and non-destructive
testing,  laser power systems,  diamond coating manufacture,  surface hardening,
medical sterilization, and rapid prototyping.

The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Use of Estimates.  The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of  America
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts  of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition.  Sales of standardized  products are recognized on
delivery.


                                      F-7


                         NORTH STAR RESEARCH CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 2004

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue from "fixed price" and cost plus fixed fee and variable fee contracts is
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, individual
contract  revenues  earned  is  measured  by the  percentage  relationship  that
contract cost incurred bears to management's estimate of total contract cost.

For fixed-price  and cost plus fixed fee and variable fee contracts,  the amount
of revenues  recognized  is that portion of the total  contract  amount that the
actual cost expended bears to the anticipated  final total cost based on current
estimates  of cost to complete  the  project  (cost-to-cost  method).  It is not
related to the progress  billings to customers.  However,  when it becomes known
that the  anticipated  final total cost will  exceed the  contract  amount,  the
excess of cost over the contract  amount is immediately  recognized as a loss on
the contract. Recognition of profit commences on an individual project only when
cost to complete the project can  reasonably  be  estimated  and after there has
been  some  meaningful  performance  achieved  on the  project.  Changes  in job
performance,  job conditions,  and estimated  profitability,  and final contract
settlements  may result in revisions to costs and income and are  recognized  in
the period in which the revisions are determined.

Contract  costs  include all direct  material,  labor costs,  subcontractor  and
indirect  costs  which are  related to  contract  performance,  such as indirect
salaries, workers' compensation insurance, equipment depreciation, payroll taxes
and  insurance.  General  and  administrative  costs are  charged  to expense as
incurred.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted  contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Claims and change orders are not
recorded and recognized until such time as they have been accepted.

The asset,  "Costs and estimated  earnings in excess of billings on  uncompleted
contracts,"   represents   revenues  recognized  in  excess  of  amounts  billed
(underbillings).  The  liability,  "Billings  in excess  of costs and  estimated
earnings on uncompleted  contracts,"  represents  billings in excess of revenues
recognized (overbillings).  Costs related to work that has been completed but is
not yet fully billed, is classified as "unbilled receivables."

Cash and Cash  Equivalents.  For purposes of the  statements of cash flows,  the
Company considers all highly liquid  investments with a maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.

Contracts  Receivable.  Contracts  receivable  are carried at  original  invoice
amount less an estimate made for doubtful  receivables  based on a review of all
outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.  Management determines the allowance for
doubtful  accounts by  identifying  troubled  accounts  and by using  historical
experience applied to an aging of accounts. Contracts receivable are written off
when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of contracts receivable previously written
off are recorded when received.  A contract receivable is considered past due if
any portion of the receivable is outstanding for more than 90 days.  Interest is
not charged on past due amounts.  Management considers accounts receivable to be
fully  collectible  and based on history of bad debts, no allowance for doubtful
accounts is considered necessary.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation
of property  and  equipment is  determined  using the  straight-line  method for
financial statement purposes at rates based on the following useful lives:

    Scientific equipment                                             7-10 years
    Office equipment                                                  5-7 years

Income Taxes. Construction revenues and costs are reported for federal and state
income tax  purposes  by the  percentage-of-completion  method,  based on actual
billings  and costs to date.  Deferred  income  taxes are  provided  for  timing
differences between financial and taxable income as follows:

    Method of computing percentage-of-completion
    Depreciation expense due to different methods of calculation
    Provision for loss on contracts in process allowable for tax

Advertising Costs. Non  direct-response  advertising costs,  amounting to $4,280
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2004 and  $4,219 for the year ended
December 31, 2003, were expensed as incurred.

NOTE 2. CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

The Company,  in the ordinary  course of business,  maintains  bank  balances in
excess of FDIC insurance limits.  The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining
funds in highly reputable institutions.

NOTE 3. COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS

The  costs,  estimated  earnings  and  billings  on  uncompleted  contracts  are

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The income tax expense  differs from the normal  federal  (34%) and state (4.8%)
tax rates because of graduated tax rates (surtax exemption).

Deferred tax liabilities are  individually  classified as current and noncurrent
based on the  classification of the assets or liabilities they represent.  Short
term  deferred  income  taxes  primarily  relate  to  the  method  of  computing
percentage-of-completion.  Long term deferred income taxes  primarily  relate to
fixed assets.

NOTE 6. PROFIT SHARING PLAN

The  Company  adopted a  Simplified  Employee  Pension  (SEP) Plan in 1993.  All
employees  who have worked for the Company for at least one year are eligible to
participate in the Plan. The Company determines the employer contribution at the
end of each year.  However,  for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, since
North Star sold most of its assets and business to Ionatron, Inc. (see Note 11),
and most employees went with Ionatron,  the SEP  contribution was calculated and
paid  through  the  sale  date  of  September  15,  2004.   The  total  employer
contributions  for the nine months ended  September  30, 2004 and the year ended
December  31,  2003 were  $53,824 and $84,400  respectively.  These  amounts are
included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In October 2002, the Company entered in to an agreement to sell the high voltage
probe  manufacturing  business to North Star High Voltage  Corp.,  a corporation
owned by the majority shareholders of the Company. The purchase price of $25,000
was to be paid in equal annual  installments of $3,400 with the first payment to
be made before December 31, 2003. The agreement was deemed null and void by both
parties  in  2004.  The  payment  of  $3,400  received  in 2003 is  included  in
contributed capital.

In April 2003,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  to sell the  thyratron
driver  manufacturing  business to North Star High  Voltage  Corp.  The purchase
price of $15,000 was to be paid in equal annual  installments of $2,040 with the
first payment to be made before December 31, 2003. The agreement was deemed null
and void by both  parties in 2004.  The  payment of $2,040  received  in 2003 is
included in contributed capital.

In April 2003,  the Company  entered in to an agreement to supply  materials and
labor for the production of high voltage probes and thyratron  drivers for North
Star High Voltage, Corp. for a fee that includes the cost of materials and labor
plus an overhead charge, a general and  administrative  charge and a 10% fee. In
addition,  the Company bills the entire sales amount to North Star High Voltage,
Corp.  customers.  North  Star High  Voltage,  Corp.  bears the  credit  risk by
guaranteeing  payment to the Company of its fee. Upon collection of amounts due,
the  Company  remits the net  difference  between the sales price and its fee to
North Star High Voltage Corp. Amounts paid to North Star High Voltage Corp. were
$69,021 and $19,856 for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2004 and the year
ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contracts.  Costs  charged to U.S.  Government  contracts  are subject to annual
audits by the Defense  Contract  Audit  Agency.  A final  indirect rate proposal
based on actual costs for the year ended  December 31,  2003,  was  submitted in
August 2004 by the Company and has not yet been  approved as of the date of this
report.  It is  management's  opinion  that the  results  of the  indirect  rate
submission  will  not  have  any  material  effect  on the  Company's  financial
position, results of operations and its cash flows.

Operating Leases.  The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities on a
three-year lease which expired August 31, 2004. The existing agreement has since
been extended on a month-to-month basis.

On February 4, 2003, the Company  entered into a 36-month  operating lease for a
vehicle  for $424 per  month.  The  Company is  responsible  for taxes and other
operating expenses.  The rental amounts of $3,816 and $4,664 for the nine months
ended  September  2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003,  respectively,  are
included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The minimum future rental  payments under these  operating  leases for the years
ended September 30, are as follows:

           2005                                                  $     5,088

NOTE 9.  LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT

In November 2002, the New Mexico Environment  Department filed a lawsuit seeking
injunctive  relief and assessing civil penalties  resulting from an accident and
violations of the Radiation  Protection  Act. The  violations  occurred  between
October  1999 and  January  2000.  On May 28, 2004 the  parties  entered  into a
consent decree to settle the matter for the Company's payment of a civil penalty
of $135,000. The expense was accrued and reflected in the 2002 income statement.
The penalty was paid in 2004.

its  development  and  manufacturing  processes.  The cost of  developing  these
patents was expensed in the year incurred as project costs.

NOTE 11. SALE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

On September 15, 2004, the Company sold substantially all of its assets to North
Star Research  Acquisition  Corp.,  a subsidiary of Ionatron,  Inc. for $700,000
