               IGI, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2004 RESULTS

BUENA, NJ November12, 2004 - IGI, INC. (AMEX: IG) today reported its
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004.  Revenues
increased $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to
nine months ended September 30, 2003.  Royalty revenues increased $48,000
for the quarter and $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
due to $300,000 of royalty income from Tarpan Therapeutics, Inc. and
$55,000 of royalty income from Estee Lauder, slightly offset by a decrease
in royalty income from Johnson and Johnson Consumer Products division.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $269,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004 and $535,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004.  This decrease is a result of the reduction of salary
and travel expenses in 2004.

The Company incurred a net loss of $219,000 or ($.02) per share, for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to net loss attributable to
common stock of $257,000, or ($.02) per share, for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the net
loss attributable to common stock was $1,058,000, or ($.09) per share,
compared to net loss attributable to common stock of $570,000, or ($.05)
per share, for the comparable period in 2003.

The Company's ongoing efforts to expand our product lines resulted in an
increase of $16,000 of product development and research expenses for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to the comparable period in 2003.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, those costs have increased
$976,000 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2003, the increase
year to date relates to the FAS 123 expense recorded for the stock options
granted to Dr. Michael Holick.   The Company continues to seek new
opportunities as a result of the exclusivity clause being released with
Estee Lauder, that new agreement will be signed in the next two weeks.  The
Company is looking forward to working with our potential new customers.

"Our efforts in research and development are resulting in new and improved
products for a growing customer base.  The many projects under development
have the potential to drive revenue growth and benefit IGI's most important
partners, our investors", stated Frank Gerardi, the Company's Chairman and
CEO.
