SAN JOSE, Calif., March 31, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Human Pheromone
Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: EROX) ("HPS" or "the Company") today
announced results for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2007.
For the three months ended December 31, 2007, net revenue was $389,000,
representing a 6% decrease from revenues of $412,000 in the prior year period,
and resulted in net income of $38,000 ($.01 per share) as compared with a net
income of $66,000 ($.02 per share) for the same period of 2006. For the full
year, net revenues of $1,291,000, were 5% higher than revenues of $1,227,000
generated in the prior year. The net loss in the current year of $16,000
($.00 per share) was a reduction from the $111,000 loss ($.03 per share)
recorded for the full year of 2006.
    "In the third and fourth quarters of 2006, we had very large orders from
our largest purchaser of pheromones that were not replicated in the current
year quarters.  As such, for the full year, revenue from pheromone sales were
$207,000 (24%) lower than in 2007, while revenues attributable to licensing
activities rose by $344,000 (188%) from the prior year.  The growth in total
revenues in the current year is attributable to the licensing activities.
Lower operating expenses, coupled with the revenue growth, gave rise to the
improved bottom line in the current year," a spokesperson indicated.
    "These cyclical pheromone purchases are unpredictable and, as such, we
developed a set of strategic imperatives to grow our licensing revenues, to
formulate a program to maximize revenues from our proprietary Natural
Attractions(R) brand and to 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 noted.  "While we are not pleased by the
financial results for the current year fourth 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
