LifeVantage Announces Preliminary Unaudited First Quarter Revenue Company Anticipates Second Consecutive Quarter of Double Digit Percentage Increases in Net Revenue

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LifeVantage Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: LFVN), the maker of Protandim® and TrueScience™ Anti-Aging Cream, science-based solutions to oxidative stress, announced preliminary unaudited net revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The Company anticipates net revenue of approximately $1.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to net revenue of $1.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This continued growth in revenue demonstrates the success of the Company's on-going expansion into the network marketing distribution model.

Total operating expenses in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 decreased by approximately 25% from total operating expenses of $6.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. This decline is primarily attributable to reductions of approximately 80% in total legal expenses. In the first fiscal quarter of 2010, legal expenses decreased by approximately $1 million and other operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.5 million. These decreases are directly attributable to the Company's efforts in expense reductions and greatly reduced activity in litigation in which the Company has been a party.

"We are pleased to announce that the Company anticipates its second consecutive quarter of double digit percentage increases in net revenue," stated Carrie E. Carlander, Chief Financial Officer of LifeVantage, "especially since both quarters of revenue increases occurred during a traditionally slower time of year for MLM companies. Moving forward, as we continue to grow and expand our network marketing business model and make progress on the scientific front, we will continue to look for ways to decrease expenditures as appropriate as we move towards profitability."

The Company will hold a conference call today at 1:30pm Pacific time (4:30pm Eastern time) during which it will provide an update on its business and discuss fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009 financial and operating results as well as preliminary unaudited financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2010. David W. Brown, President & Chief Executive Officer, is scheduled to lead the call and will be joined by Carrie E. Carlander, Chief Financial Officer.
