Quarter SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Human
Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTC:EROX) (BULLETIN BOARD: EROX) ("HPS"
or "the Company") today announced results for the third quarter
ended September 30, 2007. Net revenues of $239,000 compared with
$365,000 in the prior year period resulted in a net loss of $93,000
($.02 per share) as compared with a net income of $49,000 ($.01 per
share) for the same period of 2006. For the nine month period in
2007 net revenues grew by 11% to $902,000 from $815,000, and the
net loss for the first nine months of 2007 was $54,000 ($.01 per
share), a $123,000 (70%) improvement from the 2006 net loss of
$177,000 ($.04 per share) incurred in the first nine months of the
prior year. At September 30, 2007, basic liquidity (cash plus
accounts receivable, less accounts payable and accrued expenses)
was $1,455,000 as compared with $1,836,000 at December 31, 2006,
reflecting net spending of $381,000 for the nine months of the
current year. "In the third and fourth quarters of 2006, we had
sizable orders from our largest purchaser of pheromones and we do
not expect comparable orders in the current year. These cyclical
purchases are unpredictable and, as such, we developed a set of
strategic imperatives to grow our licensing revenues (which were up
by more than 175% in the current year's quarter), formulate a
program to maximize revenues from our proprietary Natural
Attractions(R) brand and complete human testing on additional novel
compounds that can contribute to the expansion of our business
through the scientific validation of additional technologies that
will enhance the value of our Company," a spokesman indicated.
During the third quarter of the current year, the Company received
its first royalty payment from a licensing pact, signed earlier in
the year with a major International corporation for our original
compounds, signed an agreement to update, repackage and reposition
the Company's proprietary Natural Attraction(R) line of products
and filed a patent application for an exciting new compound that
has shown significant potential in human studies. "While we are not
pleased by the financial results for the current quarter as
compared with the prior year three month period, we believe that
focus on these three strategic imperatives will lessen our
dependence on the purchasing pattern of one large customer, and
ensure balanced growth in revenue and an expanded technology and
customer base, without major capital investment," the spokesman
further noted. Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. is a technology-based
company, whose proof- of concept products included prestige-priced
fragrances and toiletries and environmental products sold under the
Natural Attraction(R), REALM(R), innerREALM(R) and EROX(R)
trademarks. These products contain mood-enhancing compounds, whose
efficacy has been validated at leading universities around the
world, and whose use is covered under United States and foreign
patents. The Company is also involved in research and product
development efforts on new compounds that have been previously
identified as stimulating the emotional centers of the human brain.
