                  IGI, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS


BUENA, NJ November 12, 2003 - IGI, INC. (AMEX: IG) today reported a net loss
attributable to common stock of $156,000 or ($.01) per share, for the quarter
ended September 30, 2003, compared to a net loss attributable to common stock
of $877,000, or ($.07) per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the net loss attributable to
common stock was $427,000, or ($.04) per share, compared to net income
attributable to common stock of $7,930,000, or $.69 per share, for the
comparable period in 2002. The loss incurred in the third quarter of 2003 is
a result of lower product sales as the products reach maturity in their
market life cycle, a change in the product sales mix and underabsorbed fixed
costs. Also, there were higher development and research expenses as a result
of additional projects that are being worked on for existing and potential
customers.

"I am pleased to see a revenue increase from last quarter. Our Novasome(R)
microencapsulation technology is being formulated for numerous new products
in dermatology, cosmetics and other additives," stated Frank Gerardi,
Chairman of the Board and CEO of IGI.


                                    # # #
