<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0"><B>I.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Introduction</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 6.6pt 0 0; text-indent: 0.5in">This Conflict Minerals Report (this &ldquo;Report&rdquo;)
of Sono-Tek Corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) has been prepared for the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024
pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (&ldquo;Rule 13p-1&rdquo;) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;1934 Act&rdquo;).
Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements
related to specified conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the &ldquo;Dodd-Frank
Act&rdquo;). Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants who manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing
Conflict Minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; are defined
as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten
and gold (3TG) for the purposes of this assessment. The &ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo; for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia
and Angola. Capitalized terms in this Report that have not been expressly defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in Rule 13p-1
and Form SD.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 6.6pt 0 0; text-indent: 0.5in">If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the
Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of their products may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they
are unable to determine the country of origin of those Conflict Minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the Conflict
Minerals&rsquo; source and chain of custody and submit a Conflict Minerals Report to the SEC that includes a description of those due
diligence measures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 6.6pt 0 0"><B>II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Company Overview</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">This Report has been prepared by the Company&rsquo;s management. The Company
was incorporated in New York in 1975 and is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of ultrasonic liquid atomizing nozzles. Ultrasonic
nozzle systems atomize low to medium viscosity liquids by converting electrical energy into mechanical motion in the form of high frequency
ultrasonic vibrations that break liquids into minute drops that can be applied to surfaces at low velocity.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0"><B>III.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Supply Chain Overview</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">Certain of the Company&rsquo;s operations manufacture, or contract to
manufacture, products for which Conflict Minerals, are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. However, the Company
is several levels removed from the sources of Conflict Minerals in its products and does not make purchases of raw ore or Conflict Minerals
directly from mines, smelters or refiners.</P>



<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0"><B>IV.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due Diligence</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">The Company is committed to the responsible sourcing of materials of its
products and supports greater transparency with regard to its supply chain. The Company has adopted a formal policy relating to the Conflict
Minerals that incorporates the standards set forth in the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance
for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (&ldquo;OECD Guidance&rdquo;), and the Company has
begun implementation of the provisions contained in this policy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0"></P>

<!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 1 -->
    <DIV STYLE="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; padding-bottom: 2pt; border-bottom: rgb(98,145,178) 2pt solid"></DIV>
    <DIV STYLE="break-before: page; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">&nbsp;</DIV>
    <!-- Field: /Page -->

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">The Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry
(&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) regarding the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Company&rsquo;s products that
the Company manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, and for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2024. This good
faith inquiry was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Company&rsquo;s necessary Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered
Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources. In conducting the RCOI, the Company identified its products that it reasonably believed
contained Conflict Minerals. The Company verified that Conflict Minerals were present in its products and also verified that such Conflict
Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of these products. The Company identified each of its suppliers who supply
products, components or materials to the Company that reasonably could be expected to contain Conflict Minerals. The Company inquired
of each of these suppliers to determine the sourcing of the Conflict Minerals. The Company was able to obtain responses from most of these
suppliers of Conflict Minerals. All of these suppliers responded that the Conflict Minerals supplied to the Company did not originate
from the Covered Countries or were of unknown origin.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0"><B>V.</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Conflict Minerals
Status Conclusion</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">Based on this RCOI, the Company has no reason to believe that its necessary
Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0"><B>VI.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Mitigation/Future Due Diligence
Measures</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">The Company maintains purchasing policies and procedures in effect to
notify current and potential new suppliers that utilize Conflict Minerals that the Company does not accept products manufactured with
or containing Conflict Minerals sourced from the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 13.2pt 0 0">The Company has implemented steps to mitigate the risk that the Conflict
Minerals benefit armed groups and to improve the reasonable country of origin and due diligence processes. These include, but are not
limited to, the following:</P>
