MARGO ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL
STAFF DETERMINATION FROM NASDAQ

Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, August 23, 2006 - Margo Caribe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRGO) today announced that, on August 17, 2006, the Company received a notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications Department stating the Company was not in compliance with the reporting requirements for continued listing of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because of the Company’s failure to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2006. The Company had previously received notifications from the Listing Qualifications Department as a result of the Company’s failure to file its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

As previously announced, on August 9, 2006, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market that a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) had extended to August 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 the deadlines for the Company to come into full compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The Panel’s decision to continue the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq is subject to the Company filing its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, on or before August 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

The Company has requested that that the Panel also extends the deadline by which the Company must file its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the second quarter of 2006 until October 30, 2006. If such an extension is not granted or if the Company is unable to comply with the deadlines established by the Panel for the Company to come into full compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), the Company’s common stock could be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
