<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Item 8.01:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Events</font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Sono-Tek Corporation (&#147;the Company&#148;) and Norwood Venture Corporation (&#147;Norwood&#148;), the Company&#146;s principal lender, reached an agreement wherein the Company paid Norwood $188,000 for early extinguishment of Norwood&#146;s Put Rights (the &#147;Put Rights&#148;) under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement between the Company and Norwood, dated September 29, 1999, as Amended.&#160;&#160; The Put Rights entitled Norwood to be paid a future amount, to be determined based on the financial results of the Company at the conclusion of its February 2008 fiscal year.&#160; The calculation of the amount to be paid under the Put Rights was to be based on a percentage of the greater of 1) the fair market appraised value of the Company, 2) five times earnings before interest depreciation and taxes for the Company&#146;s 2008 Fiscal Year or 3) the book value of the Company as of the end of the Company&#146;s 2008 Fiscal Year.&#160; The amount paid for
the early extinguishment of the Put Rights was equal to the liability currently recorded on the Company&#146;s balance sheet and, accordingly, there was no additional profit and loss impact of this payment on the Company&#146;s financial statements.&#160; By eliminating the Put Rights, the Company removed a financial uncertainty that the Company would have had to reckon with after the conclusion of Fiscal Year 2008.</font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Coincident with the agreement described above, Norwood exercised all of its warrants to purchase 2,022,017 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. These warrants had been issued in conjunction with $850,000 of loans made to the Company.&#160;&#160; The exercise of the warrants has no effect on the Company&#146;s calculation of diluted earnings per share, because the warrant shares have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for each financial period since issuance.</font></p>

<font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><b><u>Sono-Tek Announces Extinguishment of Norwood<BR> Venture Corporation Put Rights and Exercise of All <BR>Common Stock Purchase Warrants</u></b></font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">December 20, 2004 - Sono-Tek Corporation, Milton, NY (OTC BB: SOTK) today announced that it had paid Norwood Venture Corporation $188,000 to prematurely extinguish its Put Rights under the Loan and Warrant Purchase Agreements between the Company and Norwood Venture Corporation.&#160; &#147;The early extinguishment of the Norwood Put Rights removes a future concern, which we would have had to face in three years. As the shareholder value of our Company increased, so did the cash value of the Put Rights.&#160; Through &#147;arms-length&#148; negotiation, we were able to reach an agreement whereby both parties benefited and Sono-Tek eliminated a future financial uncertainty&#148;, stated Christopher L. Coccio, Sono-Tek&#146;s President and CEO.</font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Coincident with the agreement described above, Norwood exercised all of its warrants to purchase 2,022,017 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. These warrants had been issued in conjunction with $850,000 of loans made to the Company, which the Company has prepaid to $600,000 currently.&#160; The Company plans to pay off another $450,000 of principal shortly.&#160; The exercise of these warrants will have no effect on the Company&#146;s calculation of diluted earnings per share, because the warrant shares have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for each financial period since issuance.</font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">For further information, contact Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, President and CEO at 845-795-2020, or visit our website at www.sono-tek.com</font></p>

<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">This press release contains forward looking statements regarding future events and the future performance of Sono-Tek Corporation that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These factors include, among other considerations, general economic and business conditions; political, regulatory, competitive and technological developments affecting the Company&#146;s operations or the demand for its products; timely development and market acceptance of new products; adequacy of financing; capacity additions and the ability to enforce patents.
