Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

September 30, 2006


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization and Nature of Operations


The Company, a California corporation, was founded in 1989 as EROX Corporation to develop and market a broad range of consumer products containing human pheromones as a component.  On May 29, 1998, the shareholders of the Company voted to change the name of the Company to Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc.  Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. is alternatively referred to in this report as “we,” “us,” “our,” “HPS” or the “Company”.


The Company believes that human pheromone research funded by the Company presents an opportunity to create and market an entirely new category of pheromone-based fragrances and toiletry products, as well as other types of consumer products that do not require FDA approval as a pharmaceutical product.  The Company believes that its related patents provide it a proprietary position in developing, licensing and marketing such products.


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.  


Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recorded at the time of merchandise shipment, net of provisions for returns.  The Company records revenues from sales initiated by sales agents, net of the sales commissions earned following the interpretative guidance provided by FASB Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) EITF No. 99-19 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. License fees are earned over the license period according to the terms of the license agreement and interpretative guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 and No. 104 and EITF-00-21.  The majority of the Company’s sales are to distributors and licensees, and these distributors and licensees have no right to return products.  A portion of the initial payment received as part of a license agreement is being recognized as milestones are achieved towards fulfillment of the license agreement terms.


In addition to the aforementioned general policy we enter into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, which may include post signing training and technical support to our licensee’s as needed to assist them in the use of our products and integration into their product development.    Multiple-element arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting.  A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met.


● The delivered items or service has value to the customer on a stand alone basis.

 

● There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items or service.


● If the delivery or performance of the undelivered items or service is considered probably and substantially in our control.



6





If these criteria are not met, then license revenues are deferred until such criteria are met or until the period(s) over which the last undelivered element is delivered.  If there is an objective and reliable evidence of fair value for all units of accounting in an arrangement, the consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative fair value.


Inventories

Earnings (Loss) Per Share


The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted” earnings per share.  Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.  For the three months ended September 30, 2005, options to purchase 458,832 shares and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, options to purchase 582,889 and 451,054 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be antidilutive.


As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the unaudited components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (all amounts are in thousands):

Capital Stock and Stock Options


During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 no common stock or preferred stock was issued.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, no options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2003 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan or pursuant to the Nonstatutory  Stock  Option Agreements issued outside of the Company’s equity incentive plans were exercised.  Stock options for 178,000 shares expired under the expired 1990 Stock Option Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2006.


The Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) for accounting for its stock options effective with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006.   The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The Black-Scholes pricing model has assumptions for the risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant.  The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bill rate with a maturity based on the expected life of the options and on the closest day to an individual stock option grant.  Dividend rates are based on the Company’s dividend history.  The stock volatility factor is based on the past seven years of market prices of the Company’s common stock.  The expected life of an option grant is based on various factors including historical exercise and expiration experience rates in addition to the life of the option.  The Company adjusted the compensation expense by a forfeiture factor based on historical experience.  The fair value of each option grant is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis.


The Company does not record the stock compensation expense net of taxes since there was no provision for income taxes for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 as the Company incurred net operating losses for which no benefit was recognized, or utilized tax loss carryforwards.  The tax benefit is a component of the deferred tax asset disclosed in the income tax footnote.

The Company recorded $20,000, and $37,000 of employee and non-employee compensation expense for  stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.  At September 30, 2006 there was $92,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation under the 2003 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and the Nonstatutory Stock Option grants.  This cost is expected to be recognized over the following twenty months.



10




Prior to adopting SFAS 123 (R) the Company applied APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options.  Had compensation expense been determined based upon the fair value of the awards at the grant date and consistent with the method under SFAS No. 123 (R), the Company’s net loss per share would have been increased as shown by the pro forma amount indicated in the following table (in thousands):

INCOME TAXES



There was no provision for income taxes for the periods ended September 30, 2006 or September 30, 2005 as the Company incurred net operating losses for which no benefit was recognized, or utilized tax loss carryforwards.


A reconciliation of the effective tax and the statutory U.S. federal income tax is as follows:

At September 30, 2006, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,7605,000.  The Company also had federal and state research and development tax carryforwards of approximately $232,000.  The net operating loss and credit carryforwards will expire between 2006 and 2021.  The utilization of certain of the loss carryforwards is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net valuation allowance has increased by $77,000 in the first nine months of 2006.  The valuation allowance was established because the Company was not able to determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company is required to adopt the provision of SFAS 157, as applicable, beginning in fiscal year 2008.  Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.



Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations


This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Except for the historical information contained in this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the matters discussed herein are forward looking statements.  These forward looking statements include but are not limited to the Company’s plans for sales growth and expansion into new channels of trade, expectations of gross margin, expenses, new product introduction, and the Company’s liquidity and capital needs.  These matters involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made.  In addition to the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors”, below, these risks and uncertainties may include consumer trends, business cycles, scientific developments, changes in governmental policy and regulation, currency fluctuations, economic trends in the United States and inflation.  These and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Our discussion and analysis of our financial conditions and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of financial statements require management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures on the date of the financial statements.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition and license fees.  We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.


Stock Option Policy


The Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) for accounting for its stock options effective with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006.   The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The Black-Scholes pricing model has assumptions for the risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant.  The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bill rate with a maturity based on the expected life of the options and on the closest day to an individual stock option grant.  Dividend rates are based on the Company’s dividend history.  The stock volatility factor is based on the past seven years of market prices of the Company’s common stock.  The expected life of an option grant is based on various factors including historical exercise rates in addition to the life of the stock option.  The Company  did adjust the compensation expense by a forfeiture factor based on historical experience. The fair value of each option grant is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis.


The Company did not record the stock compensation expense net of taxes since there was no provision for income taxes for the periods ended September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005 as the Company incurred net operating losses for which no benefit was recognized, or utilized tax loss carryforwards.  The tax benefit is a component of the deferred tax asset disclosed in the income tax footnote.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recorded at the time of merchandise shipment, net of provisions for returns.  The Company records revenues from sales initiated by sales agents, net of the sales commissions earned following the interpretative guidance provided by FASB Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) EITF No. 99-19 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. License fees are earned over the license period according to the terms of the license agreement and interpretative guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 and No. 104 and EITF-00-21.  The majority of the Company’s sales are to distributors and licensees, and these distributors and licensees have no right to return products.  A portion of the initial payment received as part of a license agreement is being recognized as milestones are achieved towards fulfillment of the license agreement terms.


In addition to the aforementioned general policy we enter into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, which may include post signing training and technical support to our licensee’s as needed to assist them in the use of our products and integration into their product development.    Multiple-element arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting.  A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met.


● The delivered items or service has value to the customer on a stand alone basis.


● There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items or service.


● If the delivery or performance of the undelivered items or service is considered probably and substantially in our control.



13





If these criteria are not met, then license revenues are deferred until such criteria are met or until the period(s) over which the last undelivered element is delivered.  If there is an objective and reliable evidence of fair value for all units of accounting in an arrangement, the consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative fair value.




COMPANY OVERVIEW


 

The Company is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of consumer products containing synthetic human pheromones and other mood enhancing compounds.  The Company initiated commercial operations in late 1994 with a line of fine fragrances and toiletries.  Licensing of the Company’s technology is currently the core business of the Company while directly managing the on-going development of identified compounds for potential new products.  The Company’s patented compounds are sold to licensed customers and included as components in their fragranced consumer products.  The Company also offers private label manufacturing services for third party consumer product licensees.



Results of Operations


Three Months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the Three Months ended September 30, 2005


Net revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $365,000, representing a 301% increase from the prior year’s revenues of $91,000.  Net sales were $217,000 more than the prior year, attributable to increased pheromone reorders from existing and new licensees.  Sales to an existing customer increased due to their plans to feature their pheromone fragrance in selected European countries this holiday season.  Domestic customer’s purchasing patterns continue to be erratic and the Company is not always aware of the customers’ manufacturing and marketing plans so these fluctuations will continue to occur.  The Company signed a license agreement with Personal Products Company (PPC), a division of McNeil-PPC, Inc. (a Johnson & Johnson company) and $57,000 of revenue from this agreement was recorded during the current period.  International revenues were $17,000 more than the prior year due to increased sales to existing customers.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 of $297,000 is 276% more than last year’s gross profit of $79,000.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit of 81% was less than last year’s gross profit of 87%. Gross margin on product sales remained at the 2005 gross margin of 87%. The decreased total gross margin was due to the reduced margin incurred on the recently signed PPC license.  To fulfill a portion of the license agreement terms expenses associated with the PPC work have been included as cost of goods sold to offset the revenue recorded which results in a reduced overall gross margin . The increase in gross profit is attributed to the higher sales level for the current quarter.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 were $29,000 and $38,000, respectively.  Research expenditures that were incurred to support the PPC license have been charged as cost of goods sold resulting in a slight decrease in the operating research and development costs.  The total research and development cost incurred for the current quarter, including the amount recorded as license costs, was $46,000 which was slightly more than the prior years $38,000.  Research and development on several new compounds is on-going.


Selling, general and administrative expenses of $227,000 are $15,000 less than last year’s $242,000.  Selling, marketing and distribution expenses were $27,000 less than the prior year as the Company eliminated marketing consulting services.  General and administrative and facility costs increased by $12,000, primarily a result of FAS 123 (R) stock option compensation costs of $20,000.  The Company is continuing its cost containment plans initiated in 2005.


The Company earned $8,000 and $3,000 in net interest income during the three months ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The increased earnings was due to the Company’s increased cash balances occurring upon receipt of  $1,750,000 payment upon signing the PPC license agreement.  


The Company recorded no income tax provision in 2006 or 2005, due primarily to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets being recorded and the expected utilization of net operating losses carried forward from prior years to offset any significant tax liability.  As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset, which relates primarily to net operating losses carried forward was $7,062,000.  However, a full valuation allowance is provided for the gross deferred tax asset as management could not determine whether its realization is more likely than not.


Nine Months ended September  30, 2006 as compared to the Nine Months ended September 30, 2005


Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $815,000.  This was a 134% increase from total revenues of $348,000 for the first nine months of 2005.  Domestically, revenues were $330,000 more than the prior year’s $263,000.  Domestic reorders from our largest customer have exceeded their 2005 orders in each of the three quarters in 2006.  Since the Company is not always aware of its customer’s manufacturing and marketing plans, revenue fluctuations will occur.   International revenues were $137,000 greater than the prior year due primarily to increased sales in the Asian and Latin American markets

Gross profit for the nine month of 2006 increased 129% to $636,000 from $278,000 in 2005.  The increase gross profit is the result of the increased sales.  Gross margin decreased slightly to 78% compared to 80% in 2005 due to the increase of private label sales in markets outside the United States and charges associated with the license agreement noted in the previously in the quarterly results.



15





Research and development expenses for the nine months of 2006 and 2005 were $88,000 and $132,000, respectively.  The decrease of the research expenditures was the result of the Company not requiring the same level of clinical testing activity in 2006 as was incurred in 2005.  In 2005, the Company conducted various levels of testing on two new compounds, with encouraging results.  Development work on these compounds, and others, is continuing in 2006 with some costs associated with the PPC license now being record as cost of goods sold instead of research and development.


Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2006 were $734,000 and $887,000 for the comparable period of 2005, a $153,000 reduction.  Selling, marketing and distribution expenses are $67,000 less than the prior year as the Company reduced marketing consulting fees. General, administrative and facility expenses were  $86,000 less than last year primarily due to decrease payroll related costs and consultant fees.


The Company earned $9,000 and $14,000 in net interest income during the nine months ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The decrease is due to lower cash balances from January to July 2006.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


At September 30, 2006, the Company had cash of $1,796,000 with no outstanding bank borrowings and working capital of $1,224,000.  At December 31, 2005, it had cash of $452,000 with no outstanding bank borrowings and working capital of $411,000.  For the first nine months of 2006, net cash provided by on-going activities was $1,344,000 compared to the prior year’s net cash used by on-going activities of $578,000.  The improvement of $1,922,000 is the result of the PPC license agreement which provided $1,750,000 cash payment and a reduction of the net loss for the current year.


Assuming the Company’s activities proceed substantially as planned, the Company’s current cash position and projected results of operations for the next twelve months are not expected to require additional outside financing.  


Risk Factors


Our business is subject to various risks, including those described below.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Form 10-QSB. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business, operating results, and financial condition would likely suffer.


The Company has not had sustained profitable operations since 1997.  Since 1997, the Company has incurred losses from operations.  In May 2000, the Company refocused its business model based on product licensing agreements.  While the Company anticipated that this change in its business will result in profitable operations, it has not to date, and the Company’s license based business model may not be successful in the future.  To maintain the current operations, the Company will require additional funding due to the continued operating losses sustained and projected.


The Company’s marketing strategy may not be successful. The Company may not be able to establish and maintain the necessary sales and distribution channels, even if funding is obtained.  Consumer product companies may choose not to license or private label the Company’s products.


The Company may not be able to protect its technology or trade secrets from others who choose to violate the Company’s patents.  The Company intends to protect and defend its patent rights from those who might violate them. However, the costs to defend and litigate may exceed the Company’s financial resources.


The Company may not be able to develop new patentable compounds.  The Company’s success substantially depends upon developing and obtaining patents for new mood and sensory enhancing compounds.   The Company requires that its products be scientifically tested validating the human responses to the compounds.  The Company may not be successful in validating that the desired human responses are obtained.



16





The Company may not be able to recruit and retain key personnel.  The Company’s success substantially depends upon recruiting and retaining key employees and consultants with research, product development and marketing experience.  The Company may not be successful in recruiting and retaining these key people.


The Company relies upon other companies to manufacture its products. The Company and its distributors/licensees rely upon other companies to manufacture its pheromones, supply components, and to blend, fill and package its fragrance products.  The Company and its distributors/licensees may not be able to obtain or retain pheromone manufacturers, fragrance suppliers, or component manufacturers on acceptable terms.   This would adversely affect operating results.




Item 3.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Based on our evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
