  ITEM 8.01 - OTHER EVENTS
  
  Sonex  Research,  Inc.  is seeking  dismissal  of a lawsuit  filed by  investors
  seeking the return of $175,000 in equity  investments  made in Sonex during 2004
  plus unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
  
  A Complaint  was filed on February  9, 2005 in the U.S.  District  Court for the
  Eastern  District of  Pennsylvania  by Bruce W. Majer of Plymouth  Meeting,  PA,
  Allen W. Fortna of Whitehall, PA, and the Hermitage Partnership of Philadelphia,
  PA (together,  referred to as the  "Investors").  The Complaint is an action for
  federal and state securities fraud,  common law fraud, and related claims by the
  Investors who believe they were induced to purchase securities based on a series
  of alleged  misstatements and omissions,  and is filed against Sonex, its former
  President,  CEO and director Roger D. Posey,  former director Jim Z.I. Williams,
  current  CFO,  Secretary  and director  George E.  Ponticas,  and Dr.  Andrew A.
  Pouring, current Sonex Chairman of the Board, CEO and President.
  
  Yesterday,  Sonex filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint for failure to state a
  cognizable  claim  as a  matter  of law and for  lack of  jurisdiction  over the
  Company's  current  officers.  Dr.  Pouring and Mr.  Ponticas,  who comprise the
  current  management  and Board of Directors of Sonex,  continue to believe that,
  aside from failing to meet the legal requirements, most aspects of the claims in
  the Complaint are without merit.
  
  It is  anticipated  that the Court will decide this motion  prior to issuing any
  order concerning discovery on the merits of the allegations of the Complaint.
