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 in human pheromone and other naturally-occurring compounds research funded by the Company presents an opportunity to create and market an entirely new category of fragrances, toiletry and consumer 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-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-K. 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2008. 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, 2007.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded at the time of merchandise shipment, net of provisions for returns. The Company records revenue from sales initiated by sales agents, net of the sales commissions earned following the interpretative guidance provided by FASB Emerging Issue Task Force (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 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements and SAB No. 104 Revenue Recognition. The Company records multiple-element arrangements in accordance with EITF 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.

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.

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

If these criteria are not met, then revenues are deferred until such criteria are met or until the period(s) over which the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is 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.

Our agreement with Personal Products Company (hereinafter referred to as “PPC”) represents a multiple-element arrangement and includes post signing consulting support to PPC as needed to assist them in claims development and manufacturing processes, an exclusive right of first discussion for new compounds that the Company develops and documents supportable claims of effectiveness, and an exclusive right to our existing patented compounds in specific consumer product fields. A portion of the initial payment received as part of the PPC agreement is being recognized as the Company incurs expenses and resources towards fulfilling the obligations to PPC, based on interpretative guidance provided by EITF 00-21.

The PPC agreement was entered into on August 18, 2006 and will expire when the initial patents on the licensed technology expire, in December 2011 and March 2012. For the services and rights granted in the agreement, the Company received an initial payment of $1,750,000 in September 2006 and will earn royalties on products developed and sold by PPC until the patents expire. The Company records revenue for the consulting services and right of first discussions as the Company incurs expenses and resources towards fulfilling its obligations to PPC. License revenue is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement of sixty-seven months and when periodic direct costs are incurred to maintain the license. The Company began recognizing revenue from all three units during the quarter ending September 30, 2006.

A summary of the revenue recognized for these multiple units of accounting follows (in thousands):


	Three months ending June 30,				Six months ending June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(unaudited)		(unaudited)		(unaudited)		(unaudited)

Exclusive license		36		38		90		75
Consulting services		16		5		43		25
Total	$	99	$	119	$	201	$	254

The deferred revenue from the PPC license agreement as of June 30, 2008 was $867,900.

The Company granted Schwarzkopf & Henkel a non-exclusive license for the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of certain licensed hair styling products using the Company’s patented technology. Schwarzkopf & Henkel paid a license fee of $20,000 plus royalties based on net sales of licensed products in specified countries. The license was effective May 1, 2007 and expires on April 30, 2010. The license was amended on February 15, 2008 to include other hair care products on a non-exclusive basis.

The $20,000 license fee is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the license of thirty-six months. There is no discernable service to be provided by the Company to warrant an alternative revenue recognition method. The revenue recognized under this agreement for the three months ending June 30, 2008 was $37,000 consisting of royalties of $35,000 and amortization of the license fee of $2,000. The revenue recognized under this agreement for the three months ending June 30, 2007 was $1,000 consisting of amortization of the license fee of $1,000. For the six months ending June 30, 2008 the revenues recognized under this agreement were $61,000, consisting of royalties of $58,000 and amortization of the license fee of $3,000. The revenue recognized under this agreement for the six months ending June 30, 2007 was $1,000 consisting of amortization of the license fee of $1,000. The deferred revenue from the Schwarzkopf & Henkel license as of June 30, 2008 was $12,000.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in - first out method) or market. A summary of inventories follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2008

Finished goods		20		22
Reserve for shrinkage and obsolescence		(24)		(28)
	$	34	$	25

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 June 30, 2008, options to purchase 712,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be antidilutive.

As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the unaudited components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in thousands):


		Three months ending June 30,				Six months ending June 30,
		2008		2007		2008		2007

Net income (loss) available to common shareholders (unaudited)	$	(88)	$	15	$	(151)	$	39

Fully diluted weighted-average common shares and potential commons stock (unaudited)		4,152		4,805		4,152		4,794

Capital Stock and Stock Options

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, no common stock or preferred stock was issued. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, options to purchase 80,000 shares of common stock were granted under the 2003 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan. No issued options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008; and 9,999 stock options expired under the expired 1990 Stock Option Plan.

The Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) “Share-Based Payment”, 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 adjusts 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 material provision for income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 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 taxes footnote.

Weighted average interest rates	3.5	%	4.7	%

Weighted average expected life	7 years		7 years

The Company recorded $9,000 and $14,000 of employee and non-employee compensation expense for stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $13,000 and $9,000 of employee and non-employee compensation expense for stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. At June 30, 2008, there was $36,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation under the 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over the following eleven months.

Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreements

In June 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors granted nonstatutory stock options to the Company’s employees covering a total of 330,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreements. The Board of Directors had set terms and conditions of these stock options. Options were granted at the fair value at the date of the grant as determined by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the grant date and the day of the grant.

A summary of the activity under the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreements is as follows (in thousands except per share data):

Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (Directors’ Plan)

In June 1993, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (Directors’ Plan) covering a total of 158,333 shares of common stock, which provides for a one-time automatic grant of options to purchase 8,333 shares of common stock and annual grants thereafter of options to purchase 3,333 shares of common stock to each non-employee director at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. This plan has expired, but stock options issued under this plan are still outstanding.

A summary of the activity under the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan is as follows (in thousands except per share data):


Non-Employee Directors’ Plan	Three months ending June 30, 2008			Six months ending June 30, 2008
	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price

Outstanding, June 30, 2008	40	$	0.91	40	$	0.91

At June 30, 2008, no shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for future grants under the Directors’ Plan, and all options to purchase 40,000 shares were exercisable, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.91.

2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan

On June 25, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”) of Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. On June 20, 2007 the Board increased the maximum number of authorized shares of common stock which may be issued on exercise of the options granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan from 300,000 shares to 600,000 shares. The 2003 Plan will expire on June 24, 2010. This plan replaces the Directors’ Plan which expired on June 13, 2003. The 2003 Plan provides for annual grants of options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock to each non-employee director at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. The 2003 Plan also grants to new directors options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock upon election to the Board. Mr. Carson Tang was elected to the Board on June 20, 2007 and stock options were issued to Mr. Tang as specified by the 2003 Plan.

A summary of the activity under the 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan is as follows (in thousands except per share data):


2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan	Three months ending June 30, 2008			Six months ending June 30, 2008

At June 30, 2008, 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for future grants under the 2003 Non-Employees Directors’ Plan, and options to purchase 327,000 shares were exercisable, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.48.

A summary of the non-vested options activity under the 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan is as follows (in thousands except per share data):

INCOME TAXES

A provision for income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was recorded for minimum tax liabilities incurred.

The Company believes that all of its tax positions are sustainable and that no significant adjustment to its unrecognized tax benefits is expected. The majority of the unrecognized tax benefits relates to positions where only the timing of a deduction item is in question. Such liabilities are offset by deferred tax assets and the only effect on the Company's statements of operations relates to the interest accrued on such liabilities.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008, which did not have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

In March 2008, the FASB released FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. FAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management does not believe the adoption of FAS No. 161 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB released FAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. FAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP Hierarchy). This statement is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411. Management does not believe the adoption of FAS No. 162 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB released FAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of FAS No. 163 is limited to financial guarantee insurance contracts focusing on the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not believe the adoption of FAS No. 163 will have any impact on the Company as the scope of the FAS is outside the Company’s business activities.

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, scient ific 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

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial conditions and results of operations are based upon financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires 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 statemen ts.

Stock Option Policy

The Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) “Share-Based Payment”, 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 additi on to the life of the stock option. The Company adjusts 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 material provision for income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2008 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 taxes footnote.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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

● 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.

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

A summary of the revenue recognized for these multiple units of accounting follows (in thousands):


	Three months ending June 30,				Six months ending June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(unaudited)		(unaudited)		(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Right of first discussion	$	47	$	76	$	68	$	154
Exclusive license		36		38		90		75
Consulting services		16		5		43		25
Total	$	99	$	119	$	201	$	254

The deferred revenue from the PPC license agreement as of June 30, 2008 was $867,900.

The $20,000 license fee is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the license of thirty-six months. There is no discernable service to be provided by the Company to warrant an alternative revenue recognition method. The revenue recognized under this agreement for the three months ending June 30, 2008 was $37,000 consisting of royalties of $35,000 and amortization of the license fee of $2,000. The revenue recognized under this agreement for the three months ending June 30, 2007 was $1,000 consisting of amortization of the license fee of $1,000. For the six months ending June 30, 2008 the revenues recognized under this agreement were $61,000, consisting of royalties of 58,000 and amortization of the license fee of $3,000. The revenue recognized under this agreement for the six months ending June 30, 2007 was $1,000 consisting of amortization of the license fee of $1,000.

The deferred revenue from the Schwarzkopf & Henkel license as of June 30, 2008 was $12,000.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would ultimately be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and additional income taxes in the statements of operations.

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 June 30, 2008 compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2007

Net revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):


		Three months ending June 30,
		2008		2007
		(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Net product revenue by markets:
U.S. markets	$	41	$	196
International markets		58		13
Net product revenue		99		209

License revenue (worldwide)		137		120

Net Revenues	$	236	$	329

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $236,000, a $93,000 decrease from the prior year’s revenue of $329,000. Domestic sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $155,000 less than the prior year, attributable to a new customer’s seasonal sale in 2007 for which a similar order has not been placed in 2008. International sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $58,000 were $45,000 more than sales of $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Neither the domestic nor international customers’ purchasing patterns are on a seasonal or cyclical pattern which results in inconsistent revenues. License revenue increased by $17,000 to $137,000 for the three months ending June 30, 2008, due to the Schwarzkopf & Henkel license that was signed in May 2007.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $163,000 is 36% less than the gross profit of $253,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit of 69% for the second quarter of 2008 was less than gross profit of 77% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Gross margin on product sales decreased to 71% for the second quarter of 2008 from 91% for the comparable three months of 2007. The decreased product sales gross margin is due to both the reduced domestic sales activity and an amendment with a licensee which reduced the supply price in exchange for an increased royalty rate. The decrease in gross profit is attributed to the decreased revenue in the current quarter.


		Three months ending June 30,
		2008		2007
		(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Gross Profit by Revenue Type:
Net product gross profit	$	70	$	190
License gross profit		93		63
Total Gross Profit	$	163	$	253

Research and development expenses for the second quarters of 2008 and 2007 were $9,000 and $16,000, respectively. Research expenditures of $30,000 that were incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $32,000 incurred for the three months ended June 30,2007, to support the PPC license have been charged as cost of goods sold. The total research and development costs incurred for the quarters, including the amount recorded as license costs, were $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which was $9,000 less than the $48,000 incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Decreased consultant costs accounted for the reduced research and development spending. Research and development on several new compounds, in addition to the two compounds noted in the PPC license, is on-going at a reduced basic funding level.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $249,000 are $11,000 more than the $238,000 incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses were $3,000 less than the prior year as the Company continues to focus on product licensing which is less promotionally intensive. General and administrative and facility costs increased by $14,000, primarily a result of increases in audit and tax fees and stock option compensation costs.

The Company earned $7,000 and $16,000 in net interest income during the three months ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decreased earnings were due to decreasing interest rates and the Company’s reduction in cash balances.

The Company did not record a minimum tax provision for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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.

Six Months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2007

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:


		Six months ending June 30,
		2008		2007
		(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Net product revenue by markets:
U.S. markets	$	152	$	350
International markets		88		58
Net product revenue		240		408

License revenue (worldwide)		262		255

Net Revenues	$	502	$	663

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $502,000. This was a 24% decrease from net revenue of $663,000 for the first six months of 2007. Decreased 2008 revenue of $161,000 were due to two domestic customers who did not order comparable amounts of product as they had in 2007. Existing and new customer orders increased sales during the first six months of 2008, but not enough to offset the two declining customer’s purchases. Since the Company is not always aware of its customer’s manufacturing and marketing plans, revenue fluctuations do occur between periods. International revenues were $88,000, which is more than the prior year due to increased sales into the Latin American markets.

Gross profit for the six months of 2008 decreased 28% to $348,000 from $480,000 in 2007. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 69%, a 3% reduction from 72% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decreased gross profit and margins is attributable to both the decreased product sales of high margin items. Increased license revenue from the Schwarzkopf & Henkel license has helped to mitigate a portion of the sales decline.


		Six months ending June 30,
		2008		2007
		(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Gross Profit by Revenue Type:
Net product gross profit	$	180	$	350
License gross profit		168		130
Total Gross Profit	$	348	$	480

Research and development expenses for the first half of 2008 and 2007 were $23,000 and $28,000, respectively. Research expenditures of $53,000 and $67,000 that were incurred in 2008 and 2007, respectively, to support the PPC license have been charged as cost of goods sold. The total research and development cost incurred for the first six months of 2008 was $76,000 and $95,000 for the six months in 2007. Decreased consultant costs are due to the timing of the on-going research and develop requirements of the several new compounds that are under development.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2008 were $493,000 and $446,000 for the comparable period of 2007, a $47,000 increase. Selling, marketing and distribution expenses are $5,000 less than the prior year as the Company continues to focus on product licensing which is less capital intensive. General and administrative and facility costs increased by $52,000 primarily due to professional fees incurred in response to an SEC revenue recognition inquiry (which was eventually accepted as filed) and higher stock compensation recognition due to increased stock price at the time of the grants.

The Company earned $18,000 and $34,000 in net interest income during the six months ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decreased earnings were due to reduced interest rates and lower cash balances.

The Company recorded a $1,000 minimum tax provisions in 2008 and 2007, 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2008, the Company had cash of $1,237,000 with no outstanding bank borrowings and working capital of $780,000. At December 31, 2007, the Company had cash of $1,437,000 with no outstanding bank borrowings and working capital of $1,009,000. For the first six months of 2008, net cash used in on-going activities was $200,000 as compared to $264,000 for the same period in 2007, an improvement of $64,000.
