Q4 AND FY 2007 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colorado — LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB: LFVN), maker of Protandim®, today announced results for its year ended June 30, 2007. The Company recorded net revenues of $5.1 million and a net loss of $(3.7) million, or $(0.17) per share, for its year ended June 30, 2007. For its year ended June 30, 2006, the Company reported net revenues of $7.2 million and a net loss of $(2.7) million, or $(0.12) per share.
For its fourth fiscal quarter 2007, the Company recorded net revenues of $0.8 million and a net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.02) per share. For its fourth fiscal quarter 2006, the Company reported net revenues of $1.1 million and a net loss of $(1.6) million, or $(0.07) per share.
During fiscal year 2007, the Company focused on further developing the science supporting Protandim®, expanding its distribution relationships and reducing expenses in response to a decline in direct sales. While the Company has managed to reduce cash burn significantly, the Company is continually striving to improve sales in a cost effective way.
During fiscal 2007, the Company reported progress on more than 20 human clinical and laboratory studies involving Protandim®taking place at universities and hospitals in six countries. Almost all of the studies were initiated as a result of the published, peer-reviewed human clinical trial conducted by Protandim® developers, Dr. Joe McCord and his colleagues, which demonstrated that Protandim® increased the blood levels of at least two important antioxidant enzymes while significantly decreasing oxidative stress. On July 10, 2007 the Protandim® formulation was granted a U.S. Patent.
On the distribution front, the Company renewed its relationship with its largest customer GNC and Protandim® became available through CVS/pharmacy, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin Cottage, Seattle Super Supplements, Akin’s and Chamberlin’s and Drugstore.com.
While sales for the year were disappointing, the Company responded with a significant reduction in operating expenses as a result of selective cost cutting measures. These costs for the fourth quarter of 2007 declined 50% from previous quarters and the Company believes the reduction in cash burn will enable it to position itself in an approximate break even cash flow status during fiscal year 2008.
On September, 26, 2007, the Company closed an offering of convertible debentures which resulted in cash proceeds of approximately $956,000. This provides the Company with the cash resources to launch new cost-effective targeted marketing initiatives and support expanded scientific studies.
About Protandim®
Protandim® is a patented dietary supplement that increases the body’s natural antioxidant protection by inducing two protective enzymes, superoxide dismustase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). These naturally occurring enzymes simply become overwhelmed by free radicals as we get older. Oxidative stress (cell damage caused by free radicals) occurs as a person ages, when subjected to environmental stresses or as an associated factor in certain illnesses. TBARS are laboratory markers for oxidative stress in the body. New data from a scientific study in men and women show that after 30 days of taking Protandim®, the level of circulating TBARS decreased an average of 40 percent, with this decrease shown to be maintained at 120 days. Protandim®strengthens a person’s defenses against oxidative stress by increasing the body’s natural antioxidant enzymes.
