2016 Results and First Quarter Fiscal 2017 Sales Guidance </U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0 13.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">(March 15, 2016 - Milton, NY) Sono-Tek Corporation
(OTCQX: SOTK) today announced preliminary sales of $11,834,000 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, compared to sales of
$10,850,000 for the previous fiscal year, an increase of $984,000 or 9%<B>.</B> During fiscal year 2016, the Company had a continuing
upward trend in sales in both quarter to quarter and quarter versus the previous year&rsquo;s quarter. The current year&rsquo;s
revenue growth is due to increases in float glass line coating equipment, advanced textile coating equipment, antimicrobial food
applications, coupled with steady sales of SonoFlux equipment to the electronics printed circuit board industry and also in spray
drying applications.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0 13.5pt; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Based on current backlog, shipments, and proposals,
the Company expects consistent or slightly lower sales for the first quarter of the new fiscal year (March-May 2016) compared to
last year&rsquo;s first quarter. This is due to recognized global factors that have caused some customers to temporarily postpone
capital expenditures until they have a better sense of the economic environment. Nonetheless, the Company is targeting growth in
revenues for fiscal year 2017 based on the recent development of several new products and applications, which are expected to add
to the Company&rsquo;s top line in subsequent quarters as they come into full production. In addition, the Company expects continued
growth in sales to the food industry, which is grappling with food safety issues, as well as growth in sales of advanced textile
coating equipment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0 13.5pt; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company expects to report income before
taxes of $743,000 for the year ended February 29, 2016 as compared to $826,000 for the year ended February 28, 2015, a decrease
of $83,000 or 10%. The Company&rsquo;s &ldquo;income before taxes&rdquo; for FY2016 will be finalized once the independent audit
is completed in May 2016. During fiscal 2016, the Company increased spending for new product development and associated sales and
marketing efforts. Although these expenditures impacted the Company&rsquo;s income, they are expected to favorably affect the Company&rsquo;s
product market basket going forward. The Company also invested in facilities, new manufacturing equipment, information systems
and cybersecurity to protect its intellectual property. The Company used approximately $400,000 of cash to accomplish these upgrades,
which are expected to serve the Company favorably in the new fiscal year and beyond.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, Sono-Tek&rsquo;s
Chairman and CEO, stated that, &ldquo;We are pleased with the ongoing strength of our business, both compared to a year ago and
to preceding years. We now have a solid foundation in place, a balance sheet that allows flexibility to invest in our people, products
and manufacturing platform. Our profitability and cash generation allow us to grow through continuous creation of innovative uses
for our ultrasonic spraying and coating systems. This year we were awarded three US patents covering several areas of our business
including the food area, so we continue to increase our valuable intellectual property and proprietary information, a key asset
for a high technology company like ours.&rdquo;</P>
