Human Pheromone Sciences Announces Lower Net Losses

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: EROX) ("HPS" or "the Company") today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. For the three month period ending June 30, 2011, net revenues of $124,000 represented a 33% decrease from the revenues of $186,000 in the prior year period, and resulted in a net loss of $19,000 ($0.00 per share) as compared with a net loss of $62,000 ($0.01 per share) for the same period of 2010.  For the six month period ending June 30, 2011, net revenues of $310,000 were 16% lower than the previous year's $371,000, resulting in a net loss of $26,000 ($0.01 per share) as compared with a net loss of $160,000 ($0.04 per share) in the first six months of 2010.  

"The 2011 revenues were lower than anticipated and appear to reflect the prevailing economic climate.  However, the Company has made significant reductions to its overhead in recent months as it restructured for lower revenue expectations until its new compound ER 303 is brought to market," according to a Company spokesman.  

On May 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement (the "Agreement") with CrowdGather, Inc. ("CG")  The Company has been actively  assisting CG in the development of an initial line of fragrance products under the EROX® trademark, incorporating the Company's patented pheromone technology and its patent-pending ER 303, a sea-coral based mood-enhancing technology, to be sold over the internet and other limited distribution venues by CG.  Since that time, the Company has been deeply involved in fragrance and packaging development for a product to be delivered during the third calendar quarter.  This will be the first commercialization of ER 303.  We continue to be excited about the launch and the long-term potential of this relationship.  

In addition, the Company continues to seek other licensing opportunities for ER 303, which has shown significantly positive results in human studies.
