HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., November 8, 2006 -- United-Guardian, Inc. (AMEX:UG) reported third quarter earnings of $710,868 ($0.14 per share) on sales of $3,020,366, as compared with last year's third quarter earnings of $775,716 ($0.16 per share) on sales of $3,049,494. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the earnings were $1,983,249 ($0.40 per share) on sales of $8,942,178, compared with $2,242,501 ($0.45 per share) on sales of $9,697,066 for the same period in 2005.

Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian, stated, "We are optimistic that we will continue to make up some or all of the shortfall in year-to-date sales that is partially attributable to buying patterns of our customers. This was especially evident in October, when sales were very strong and shipments to our largest customer were up substantially compared with October, 2005. We are also excited about a new project with an Ohio company that has found some interesting new uses for Cloronine(TM), one of our proprietary disinfectants. We will know more after some initial field tests are completed in November and December."

United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, personal and health care products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial products.
