/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTC:EROX)
(BULLETIN BOARD: EROX) ("HPS" or "the Company") today announced
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. Net revenues of
$329,000, represented a 79% increase from the revenues of $184,000
in the prior year period, and resulted in a net income of $15,000
($.00 per share) as compared with a net loss of $156,000 ($.04 per
share) for the same period of 2006. For the six month period, net
revenues grew by 47% to $663,000 from $450,000 and the net income
for the first six months of 2007 was $39,000 ($.01 per share) a
$265,000 improvement from the 2006 net loss of $226,000 ($.05 per
share) incurred in the first six months of the prior year. At June
30, 2007, basic liquidity (cash plus accounts receivable, less
accounts payable and accrued expenses) were $1,715,000 as compared
with $1,836,000 at December 31, 2006. "The second quarter increase
in net revenue was attributable to an initial order of pheromones
for a specialty retailer, and the recognition of revenue under the
License Agreement signed last year with a Johnson & Johnson
subsidiary. We are pleased to have revenue growth from an expanding
customer base while we continue product development spending for
two additional compounds that we have identified and isolated that
are now in different stages of development. With respect to the new
compounds in which we are investing, we are excited about the
results we have seen to date, and the potential for these novel
compounds. We expect to file for patent protection on one of the
compounds in the United States in the third quarter," a Company
spokesperson indicated. "We are also exploring several alternative
options for the sales and marketing of its Natural Attraction(R)
product line, which contains our proprietary mood-enhancing
technology. The brand is not currently realizing its potential and
we feel strongly that using outside resources to assist in the
repositioning, and promotion of this brand will be beneficial for
the business," the Company 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. Further information is
