Announces 64% Increase in Fir t Quarter 2004 Revenues B: PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc. Announces 64% Increase in First Quarter 2004 Revenues MATAWAN, N.J., Apr 2, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB: PHLI), an innovative nutrition technology company, announced today that revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were approximately $2,300,000 (unaudited), a 64% increase over the same period in 2003 when revenues were $1,397,667. The increased revenues are due to increases in sales of the Company's ACCELERADE(R) and Endurox R4(R) sports drink product lines as well as significant opening orders for the Company's new COUNTDOWN(R) post-workout drink for the strength-training athlete. Dr. Robert Portman, President and CEO of PHLI, said, "Our revenues for the first quarter represent the largest quarterly sales of our sports nutrition products in the company's history. The increased sales reflect a continuation of the growth we saw in the fourth quarter of 2003. Traditionally, our first quarter is one of our weaker quarters because of the seasonality of sports drink sales. Based upon our first quarter numbers, we look for continued sales growth in the upcoming quarters."
