Human Pheromone Sciences Announces Third Quarter Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: EROX) ("HPS" or "the Company") today announced results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. For the three months ending September 30, 2011, net revenues of $113,000 represented a 46% decrease from the revenues of $210,000 in the prior year period; the resultant net loss of $30,000 ($0.01 per share) represented a 45% reduction from the $55,000 loss ($.01 per share) incurred in the same period of 2010.  For the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, net revenues of $423,000 were 27% lower than the previous year's $581,000, resulting in a net loss of $56,000 ($0.01 per share) as compared with a net loss of $215,000 ($0.05 per share) in the first nine months of 2010, a 74% decline.

According to a Company spokesperson, "The $97,000 decrease in revenues for the current year quarter is attributable to several factors, including timing of purchases by a domestic customer (in an earlier quarter this year) and an international client (scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year).  In addition, there was a $29,000 reduction in amortization of fees (non-cash revenues) previously received under the Company's agreement with Johnson & Johnson entered into in January 2006. The lower gross profit in the current quarter was more than mitigated by a $92,000 reduction in operating expenses, principally by lower spending for employee compensation and benefits, insurance and legal fees, under a program pro-actively adopted by the Company in late 2010 to address expected weaknesses in potential licensees investment in new technologies in both the domestic and international consumer markets."
