SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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, 2010. For
the three months ending September 30,
2010, net revenues of $210,000
represented a 23% decrease from the revenues of $273,000 in the prior year period, and resulted
in net loss of $55,000 ($0.01 per share) as compared with a net income of
$10,000 ($0.00 per share) for the same period of 2009.
For the nine month period ending September 30, 2010, net revenues of $581,000 were 12% lower than the previous year's
$662,000, resulting in a net loss of
$215,000 ($0.05 per share) as compared with a net loss of
$255,000 ($0.06 per share) in the first nine months of
2009.
According to a Company spokesperson, "the decrease in revenues
for the quarter is attributable to the prior year quarter including
significant royalty revenues from the initial major sell-in of Dial
Body Wash Products to several national retailers, as compared to
the current quarter royalties from on-going sales from Dial
products for 2010 quarter. In addition there was a decrease in
recognition of deferred revenue associated with the agreement
entered into with Johnson & Johnson in 2006. These were
the primary causes for the $55,000
loss in the current year quarter as compared with a $10,000 profit in the 2009 quarter.
The spokesperson indicated that liquidity continues to be a
major concern. As such, we are involved in discussions to
enhance our cash position, and obtain funding to realize our
long-term licensing opportunities for our pheromone technologies,
ER 303 and several other compounds that have shown initial promise
in vivo and in vitro," the spokesperson noted.
