                    Sono-Tek Announces Third Quarter Earnings


(January 6, 2006-Milton, NY) Sono-Tek Corporation (OTC BB: SOTK) today announced
sales of $1,670,586 for the three months ended November 30, 2005. Sales volume
for the third quarter compares favorably with sales of $1,579,780 in the second
quarter. For the nine months ended November 30, 2005, the Company reported sales
of $5,082,730, an increase of 16% or $691,077 compared to sales of $4,391,653
for the same period of last year. The Company's sales levels are increasing as
the result of continued new product development efforts and related marketing
thrusts, and expansion into international markets.

Net income for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2005 was
$280,203 and $666,378, respectively, compared to $248,942 and $590,666,
respectively for prior year periods. Net income increased by 13% for the nine
month period ended November 30, 2005 when compared to the same period last year.
Net income increased by 13% for the three month period ended November 30, 2005
when compared to the same period last year.

The balance sheet is improved from last year at this time with working capital
of $3,078,237 at November 30, 2005 versus $1,115,211 at November 30, 2004.
Shareholders' equity increased to $3,594,784 at November 30, 2005 from
$1,341,896 at November 30, 2004, an increase of $2,252,888 or 167%.

The Company's equity was further increased when Empire State Development (a New
York State Agency), Small Business Technology Investment Fund, increased its
investment in the Company by an additional $250,000. The investment took place
in January 2006 and increases shareholders' equity to approximately $3,844,784.

As discussed in a recent shareholder letter, Dr. Christopher L. Coccio
emphasized that last year, we began to place increasing importance on developing
new markets overseas in places such as China, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, and
Eastern Europe. Over the last twelve months, we have more than doubled the
number of countries where we have an established sales distribution channel. We
can now be considered a Company with a truly international presence. The initial
investment in time and money is high when entering new geographic territories,
but we are already seeing payback for our efforts, with sales being made in
almost every country in these new markets. We also have entered into
relationships with a company in India and one in China, that promise to add to
our product basket in a very cost effective way. Geographic market expansion is
as important as the development of new product offerings in creating future
growth for Sono-Tek. We plan to continue both of these activities in the coming
year.
