<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 12pt 0 6pt; text-align: center"><B><U>Sono-Tek Announces Preliminary Fiscal Year 2019
Results and Outlook for Fiscal Year 2020</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 10pt 0 0">MILTON, NY, March 14, 2019 &ndash; Sono-Tek Corporation (OTCQX: SOTK) the
leading developer and manufacturer of ultrasonic coating systems, today reported preliminary sales of $11.6 million for the fiscal
year ended February 28, 2019 (&ldquo;fiscal 2019&rdquo;) compared to sales of $11.0 million for the previous fiscal year, an increase
of $.6 million or 5%. During fiscal year 2019, the Company reported increased sales in each quarter over last year&rsquo;s results.
The current years sales increase was due to an increase in sales of Fuel Cell proton exchange coating units, particularly in China,
and new medical device coating applications.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 6pt 0.7pt 6pt 0">In fiscal 2019, the Company saw growing interest in its equipment
for new applications which include cochlear device coatings and &ldquo;Lab on a Chip&rdquo;, a quicker diagnostic test for various
medical results. In fiscal 2019, the Company announced its single largest order, $1.6 million for a complex semiconductor coating
equipment project in the European market.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 6pt 0.7pt 6pt 0">Based on current backlog, shipments and proposals, the Company is
expecting a strong sales increase for the fiscal 2020 year (March 2019 &ndash; February 2020). However, due to contractual billing
arrangements in several of the large projects in house, earlier quarters will see the benefit of customer cash deposits and deferred
costs, while the sales and income will occur and be recorded later in the fiscal year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 0 0.9pt 0 0">The Company&rsquo;s preliminary income before taxes is expected to be
<B>$150k-$200k </B>for the year ended February 28, 2019 compared to <B>$460k </B>reported for the year ended February 28, 2018.
The Company&rsquo;s net income will be finalized once the independent audit is completed in May 2019. We reduced our selling price
on several key Fuel Cell orders overseas in order to position our equipment in what we believe will be a vibrant and growing part
of our portfolio, which lowered net income in the year ended February 28, 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 0 0.9pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Cambria,serif; margin: 0 0.9pt 0 0">Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, Sono-Tek&rsquo;s Chairman and CEO, stated
that, &ldquo;We are extremely pleased with the ongoing strength of our business, and anticipate historically large revenue growth
in the new Fiscal Year, 2020. We see a widening of opportunity areas for our technology, from advanced energy application such
as Fuel Cells, to innovative medical device applications noted above, to high precision and challenging semiconductor coating
applications. Internally, we have continued to strengthen our technical and marketing teams and greatly increased the scope of
our digital factory operations. In addition, to minimize financial market risk associated with our significant excess cash position,
we recently migrated liquid assets into money market holdings and treasury bonds to ensure future stability. In addition, Sono-Tek
was recognized by the OTCQX exchange as one of the top 50 performers on their platform late last year. It has been a very solid
year of performance and will set the stage for what we believe will be our best year ever.&rdquo;&nbsp;</P>
