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

DENVER, Colorado (May 6, 2004) -- 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 2004.

For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net sales were $5,209,000
compared with net sales of $5,735,700 in the first quarter of the
previous year.  The Company reported a net loss of $350,800 or
($0.03) per share, in the most recent quarter, versus a net loss
of $416,300, or ($0.04) per share, in the three months ended
March 31, 2003.

Mark E. Goldstein, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc., commented:  "During the
quarter the Company experienced a small increase in Scott's Liquid
Gold for wood sales but experienced  a decrease in our skin care
products including the Montagne Jeunesse line of products.  The
loss was primarily due to slower sales of Montagne Jeunesse
products in the first quarter of 2004 versus the same period
in 2003."

quality household and consumer products, including Scott's Liquid
Gold wood cleaners/preservatives, Touch of Scent air fresheners,
