AS ITS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, September 25, 2006 - Margo Caribe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRGO) today announced that, on September 25, 2006, the Company’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of Horwath Vélez & Co. PSC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 and to review the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2006.

As previously announced, on September 14, 2006, the Company was advised by Deloitte & Touche LLP, its former independent registered public accounting firm, that Deloitte had resigned and the client-auditor relationship between the Company and Deloitte had ceased.

Deloitte’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the Company’s two most recent fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Deloitte’s report dated September 6, 2006, relating to the financial statements and financial statement schedule of the Company, appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 included an explanatory paragraph relating to the uncertainty concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On September 25, 2006, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K with additional information regarding this matter. The Form 8-K can be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
