                    Sono-Tek Announces First Quarter Results

(July 11, 2008 - Milton, NY) Sono-Tek Corporation (OTC BB: SOTK) today announced
sales of $1,620,521 for the three months ended May 31, 2008, compared to sales
of $1,232,643 for the prior year period, an increase of $387,878 or 31%. Sales
increased versus last year in spite of softness in some of our markets,
particularly the North American electronics segment. The increase is
attributable to the business development program that the Company has been
pursuing over the last several quarters. The increase in revenues was due to
sales of our newer products and marketing efforts that we have undertaken as
part of this program.

The Company reported a net loss of ($130,458) for the three months ended May 31,
2008, compared to net income of $19,914 for the prior year period. The current
period net loss is a result of the Company's decision to invest in a business
development program to diversify and grow our revenues going forward. For
example, sales and marketing expenditures increased by $179,866, or 77%, as a
result of creating two Strategic Business Units, increasing the sales staff, and
significantly expanding our tradeshow presence. The Company has also engaged a
marketing firm to develop greater customer awareness of the Company and its
products. In addition, the Company has recently expanded its patent and
intellectual property portfolio. More than $51,000 of the current period loss
was attributable to stock based compensation, which is a non-cash expense. The
stock based compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and reward key
employees, and stock options are awarded to all new employees.

As stated recently by Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, Sono-Tek's Chairman and CEO,
"The reduction in current income is a direct result of investments in product
and market development, and we expect to create future growth opportunities for
the Company over the next year or two with these investments. We are actively
creating new business in the alternative energy market for fuel cell and solar
cell coatings, medical device coatings, glass coatings, textile coatings, and
food and food packaging coatings. We envision our future to be based on the
ability of our ultrasonic spray systems to reduce the waste of energy,
chemicals, water, and associated costs when compared to competitive nozzle
systems. Our plan is to continue developing our top line sales, and thereby
generate income to replenish the funds used in the development program."

report will be issued July 17, 2008, and it contains much greater detail on the
Company's direction and strategy to help customers reduce their energy, water,
and commodity usage and costs.
