For Immediate Release

SCOTT'S LIQUID GOLD-INC.
ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS

DENVER, Colorado (May 14, 2003) -- Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc.
(OTC BB: "SLGD"), which develops, manufactures and markets
household and skin care products, today announced its
operating results for the first quarter of 2003.

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, net sales were
$5,735,700 compared with net sales of $4,912,400 in the
first quarter of the previous year.  The Company reported
a net loss of $416,300 or ($0.04) per share, in the most
recent quarter, versus a net loss of $362,800, or ($0.04)
per share, in the three months ended March 31, 2002.

"While we are disappointed to report an unprofitable first
quarter," commented Mark E. Goldstein, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc., "the Company
did reduce its loss from operations from $798,100 in the first
quarter of 2002 to a loss from operations of $375,700 for the
first quarter of 2003, while spending an additional $376,000
on advertising in the first quarter this year versus last
year, and we experienced an overall increase in sales from
the previous year's quarter.  The increase in sales results
from an increase in sales of Montagne Jeunesse sachets which
more than offset declines in the sales of our other products."

Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. develops, manufactures and markets
high quality household and consumer products, including
Scott's Liquid Gold wood cleaners/preservatives, Touch of
Scent air fresheners, Alpha Hydrox skin care products, and
Neoteric Diabetic Skin Care products.  Scott's Liquid
Gold-Inc. also distributes skin care sachets of Montagne
Jeunesse.  The Company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado,
and its common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under
the symbol "SLGD".
