MGPI FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS TO BE LOWER THAN EXPECTED;<BR>
GUIDANCE FOR YEAR UNCHANGED
</FONT></H1>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
ATCHISON, Kan., October 6, 2004&#151; Citing lowered expectations related primarily to a slowdown in
the low-carbohydrate product market,<B> </B>MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGPI) today
announced that it expects to post a breakeven or slightly above breakeven earnings
performance for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Despite this variance, the
company&#146;s earnings guidance of $1.03 to $1.08 per share for all of fiscal 2005 has
not been revised. The earnings per share figures are calculated based on additional shares
resulting from the two-for-one stock split that took effect following the close of
business on June 30. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&#147;Orders for our low-carb products were lower for the quarter than we anticipated and down from the
level we experienced toward the end of fiscal 2004,&#148; said Ladd Seaberg, president and
chief executive officer. &#147;Meanwhile, our recent investments in R&amp;D, sales efforts
and production capabilities designed to support larger low-carb demand will adversely
impact our operating margins, and therefore our fiscal 2005 first quarter earnings, which
we now expect to be substantially lower than earnings in last year&#146;s first
quarter.&#148; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In the fiscal 2004 first quarter, the company posted net income of $2,470,000, or 16 cents
per share, driven by a significant increase in specialty ingredients sales and proceeds
from business interruption insurance related to the company&#146;s distillery explosion in
Atchison, Kansas on September 13, 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Actual results for the current year&#146;s first quarter, which ended on September 30, are
expected to be announced by the company on November 9. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Seaberg acknowledged that without an upturn in the low-carbohydrate area, the company&#146;s
ability to meet its previous guidance for fiscal 2005 would be adversely affected.
However, the company has elected not to revise guidance while management continues to
evaluate customer demand for these products as well as other favorable factors that could
impact earnings. &#147;The low-carb market is currently exhibiting a high degree of
volatility, and we are managing through this transitional period by ratcheting down
production within that group until order activity improves,&#148; Seaberg said. &#147;This
internal slowdown has been made easier due to variability in our operating structure that
will enable us to reduce some costs proportional to the easing demand we are seeing in the
marketplace.&#148; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Despite the first quarter downturn, Seaberg cited a number of positive factors that contribute to
management&#146;s optimism for MGPI&#146;s prospects for the year and beyond. These
include </FONT></P>

<B>Strong sales of distillery products.</B> Demand for the company&#146;s food grade and
fuel grade alcohol for beverage and industrial applications is expected to remain strong
into fiscal 2005. Also, new state-of-the-art distillery equipment installed subsequent to
the distillery explosion has resulted in improved alcohol production efficiencies at the
company&#146;s Atchison plant. </FONT></TD>
