[Custom Editors] POST FALLS, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LFTC-- Lifestream Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:LFTC), the leading supplier of cholesterol monitors and professional screening instruments, announced today that its shipments for the month of July are up 169% over the same period in 2003. Preliminary numbers indicate $581,486 shipped during July 2004 as compared to $216,052 for the previous July. "It appears that our increased distribution, acceptance by the viewers of the television shopping network and other marketing efforts are increasing awareness and impacting demand at the retail shelf," said Christopher Maus, President and CEO. "These shipment numbers indicate the Company is on target as we begin the next phase of our rollout strategy. Our new Health Risk Assessment product, which began limited rollout in September, will further aid the health conscious consumer in creating a healthier lifestyle. Lifestream continues to grow the market with expanded distribution. We will continue our efforts to increase product awareness and support our retailers as we now have what can be truly considered national distribution." "This increase in shipments is a good indicator of our success in increasing distribution and creating awareness," stated Nikki Nessan, VP, Finance. "However, Lifestream's revenue recognition policy does not necessarily result in revenue recognition at the time product is shipped. As a result, shipments are not an indicator of the revenue to be reported on our financial statements." About Lifestream Technologies The Company developed and currently markets a line of cholesterol monitors to consumers and healthcare professionals that provide test results in three minutes. The Company's product line aids the health conscious consumer in monitoring their risk of heart disease. By regularly testing cholesterol at home, individuals can monitor the benefits of their diet, exercise and/or drug therapy programs. Monitoring these benefits can support the physician and the individual's efforts to improve compliance. Lifestream's products also integrate a smart card reader further supporting compliance by storing test results on an individual's personal health card for future retrieval, trend analysis and assessment. Lifestream's monitors are affordable, hand-held devices. The product line has been designed to accommodate the Personal Health Card(R) allowing multiple users the ability to store their personal results. Lifestream's products are now available in pharmacy and retail outlets nationwide.

One other point: CVS also carries this monitor. As they convert the newly purchase Eckerd stores, they'll need to purchase more monitors and strips from Lifestream just to stock those stores. Perhaps that will boost the numbers a little too.
