SONO-TEK CORPORATION By: /s/ Stephen J. Bagley --------------------- Stephen J. Bagley Chief Financial Officer October 12, 2006 EX-99.1 2 ex99-1.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Sono-Tek Announces Second Quarter Earnings and Record Sales (October 12, 2006-Milton, NY) Sono-Tek Corporation (OTC BB: SOTK) today announced sales of $1,833,938 for the three months ended August 31, 2006, an increase of 16% or $254,159 compared to sales of $1,579,779 for the same period of last year. This quarter's sales level is the highest in our history and is due in part to the sale of a large coating system. For the six months ended August 31, 2006, the Company reported sales of $3,615,682, an increase of 6% or $203,538 compared to sales of $3,412,144 for the same period of last year. The Company's first half sales levels have increased as the result of continued new product development efforts and related marketing thrusts, and expansion into international markets. Net income for the three and six months periods ended August 31, 2006 was $233,836 and $358,667, respectively, compared to $156,777 and $386,175, respectively for prior year periods. Net income decreased by 7% for the six month period ended August 31, 2006 when compared to the same period last year. Net income increased by 49% for the three month period ended August 31, 2006 when compared to the same period last year. The sharp increase in net income during the current quarter compared to a year ago was related to product mix, while the slight decrease in the six month income compared to last year is a result of increased spending on marketing, sales, and product development. We believe that minor reductions in current income potential due to increased emphasis on technology and market development are well justified by the creation of future growth opportunities for the Company. The balance sheet is improved from last year at this time with working capital of $4,038,000 at August 31, 2006 versus $2,790,000 at August 31, 2005, and stockholders' equity increased from $3,314,000 at August 31, 2005 to $4,628,000 at August 31, 2006. The Company has a total debt of $92,000, resulting in an excellent debt to equity ratio. According to Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, Sono-Tek's CEO and President, "We are continuing to invest time and money in the creation of new products to meet the needs of both the developed and developing world, and the evolution of the electronics and medical industries where we have a significant presence. We are also working to create new business opportunities for our WideTrack coating systems, extending from glass to textile applications to medical coverings in the past year. In addition, we have recently begun an initiative to develop WideTrack coating opportunities in the food industry, particularly as that industry turns to coating technology that includes nanotechnology to prevent spoilage, improve flavorings, and to reduce costs." Sono-Tek has also recently announced the opening of our Chinese office, and the creation of a Chinese language website. We continue to see opportunities for growth in both China and other parts of Asia, and our new office will help us serve these markets more effectively.
