                              SPECIAL CASH DIVIDEND

     Hauppauge,  NY,  September  10,  2004  -  United-Guardian,  Inc.  (AMEX:UG)
reported  today  that its Board of  Directors,  at its  September  9th  meeting,
declared a special cash dividend of $.25 per share to all stockholders of record
as of the close of business on September 24, 2004.  The dividend will be paid to
stockholders on October 8, 2004.

     Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian,  commented, "Despite the economic
problems of the past few years our company has been  successful in maintaining a
solid  level of  profitability  and cash  flow.  As a result,  the  company  has
generated  sufficient  cash  reserves  to  enable  us to pay this  special  cash
dividend  while still  retaining  more than adequate funds to meet our immediate
and future needs. While our first priority will always be to explore new ways to
grow the business,  we continue to believe that stockholders  should participate
in our ongoing success through a generous  dividend policy.  Returning a portion
of our  earnings  to our  stockholders  seems to make a lot of sense  right now,
especially  in view of the  favorable tax  treatment  that  dividends  currently
receive."

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