Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) September 30, 2001 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Nature of Operations Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of California in 1989 under the name of EROX Corporation. The Company changed the name to Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. in May 1998. The Company is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing and licensing of consumer products containing synthetic human pheromones as a component. The Company initiated commercial operations in late 1994 with a line of fine fragrances and toiletries. In April 2000, the Company licensed the sale of its REALM(R) fragrance products through department stores and specialty stores across the United States and selected international markets to Niche Marketing, Inc. The Company currently sells its REALM fragrance lines through distributors in selected markets in South East Asia, and licenses and sells its human pheromones for inclusion in other Companies products in exchange for supply revenues and/or royalties. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in - first out method) or market. The inventory at September 30, 2001 consists of finished goods inventory valued at $199,000, work in process of $36,000, and raw materials of $217,000. At December 31, 2000, these balances were $263,000, $13,000 and $71,000, respectively. Income Taxes The Company recorded no income tax provision in 2001 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, 2001, the Company's gross deferred tax asset, which relates primarily to net operating losses carried forward was $6,655,000. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. "Diluted" earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the total of the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus, if applicable, the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. 7 Capital Stock and Stock Options During the three months ended September 30, 2001, no common stock options were granted and no issued options were exercised. 8 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. Risk Factors The Company's future results may be affected to a greater or lesser degree by the following factors among others: During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company has sustained its first quarterly operating profits since 1997. Effective May 1, 2000, the Company refocused its business model based on product licensing agreements. While the Company had profitable operations during the first nine months of 2001, there is no assurance that the Company's license based business model will be successful. The Company and/or Niche Marketing may not be able to effectively compete with larger companies or with new products. The prestige fragrance market is extremely competitive. Many fragrance products are better known than the Company's products and compete for advertising and retail shelf space. Many competitors have significantly greater resources that will allow them to develop and introduce new competing products or increase the promotion of current products. The product life cycle of a fragrance can be very short. Changing fashions and fads can dramatically shift consumer preferences and demands. Traditional fragrance companies introduce a new fragrance every year or so. Changing fashions and new products may reduce the chance of creating long-term brand loyalty to the Company's products. The Company's marketing strategy may not be successful. The Company or its distributors may not be able to establish and maintain the necessary sales and distribution channels. Retail outlets and catalogs may choose not to carry the Company's products. The Company or its distributors may not have sufficient funds to successfully market its products if the current marketing strategy is not successful. The current retail environment may cause pricing and promotional pressures. Five companies control the majority of the sales in the U. S. department store arena. Because of their market share, each company will have significant power to determine the price and promotional terms, which the Company and/or its U.S. distributor, Niche Marketing, must meet in order to sell its products in the department stores. Upper end department stores face increasing competition by discount perfumeries, drug chains and lower priced department stores for sales of fragrances and cosmetics. To compete, upper end department stores have cut inventories, reduced co-op advertising, and increased promotions. These tactics may force the Company or its distributors to reduce prices or increase the cost of its promotions. Seasonality in sales may cause significant variation in quarterly results. Sales in the fragrance industry are generally seasonal with sales higher in the second half of the year because of Christmas. This seasonality could cause a significant variation in the Company's quarterly operating results. 9 The Company has reported operating losses in past years. No assurance can be given that the Company will produce operating income in the future. The Company may not be able to protect its technology or trade secrets. The Company's patents and patent applications may not protect the Company's technology or ensure that the Company's technology does not infringe another's valid patent. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information. The Company may not be able to protect its technology, proprietary information or trade secrets. 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 relies upon Pherin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and other companies to manufacture its pheromones, supply components, and to blend, fill and package its fragrance products. The Company may not be able to obtain or retain pheromones manufacturers, fragrance suppliers, or component manufacturers on acceptable terms. If not, the Company may not be able to obtain commercial quantities of its products. This would adversely affect operating results. Results of Operations On April 24, 2000, the Company signed a multi-year licensing agreement for its REALM and innerREALM fragrance and toiletry products with Niche Marketing, Inc. ("Niche"), a newly formed affiliate of Northern Brands, Inc. Under the agreement, Niche will be responsible for the manufacture, marketing, selling and distribution of the REALM and innerREALM products in the United States and Internationally, excluding the Far East. Niche purchased the Company's applicable inventories and pays a royalty, with annual minimums, on sales of the current products and line extensions under the REALM and innerREALM brand names. During the term of the agreement, HPS will also sell Niche the pheromone components required for the manufacture of the products. Prior to this agreement, the Company recorded in its financial statements the revenues, costs and expense directly attributable to the product sales to the U.S. Department stores; the Company also maintained inventories, recorded the accounts receivable and reflected the accounts payable/accrued expenses attributable to the department store business. Accordingly, the data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the quarter ended September 30, 2000 does not include this business while the data for the prior years nine months reflects the department store operations for four months of the nine month period, making some line-by-line comparisons between both periods difficult. Three Months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the Three Months ended September 30, 2000 Net sales and revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $724,000, representing a 45% increase from sales of $501,000 for the prior year's quarter. This increase is due an increase in both pheromone sales and in the sales of REALM fragrances lines to the oversees markets that the Company's retained in its license agreement with Niche Marketing. The Components of net revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were as follows (in thousands). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Markets 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Retail & Distributor Markets $ 5 $ 55 License and Supply Revenues 455 281 International Markets 264 165 -------- -------- Net Revenues $ 724 $ 501 The increase in licensing and supply revenues is primarily a factor of additional sales of pheromones to Niche Marketing for manufacture of the REALM products under license. The growth in the sales to International markets is a factor of our distribution agreements in South East Asia, which were not in effect in the prior year. 10 The year 2000 international sales included sales to European REALM distributors who are now customers of Niche Marketing. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 increased 35% to $447,000 from $331,000 in the prior year due to the increased revenue. As a percentage of sales gross profit declined to 62% of sales as compared with 66% in the prior year period. The decrease is due to higher costs associated with the sale of REALM products to the South East Asia markets. Research and Development expenses were $86,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2001 and $80,000 for the quarter ending September 31, 2000. These costs principally reflect payments and costs under the Company's consulting agreements with Pherin. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7% to $352,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $330,000 in the period ended September 30, 2000. Distribution and facilities spending decreased by $26,000, while general and administrative expenses spending increased by $48,000 in 2001. An additional reserve of $86,000 was established in the quarter for department store receivables that we have not been able to collect since the licensing of the REALM product lines to Niche Marketing. We are continuing our collection efforts and any recoveries will be recorded at that time of receipt. The income from operations of $9,000 represented an $88,000 improvement from the $79,000 loss incurred in the third quarter of 2000. The Company's licensing of the Realm brand, which was effective May 1, 2000, resulted in reduced net revenues and gross profit, but the significant savings in operating expenses resulted in the favorable variance in operating income. The Company incurred interest income of $7,000 during the third quarter of 2001 as compared to $6,000 in the prior year period. While cash balances were higher, the effective interest rate paid was lower in the current year. Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the Nine Months ended September 30, 2000 Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $1,912,000. This was a 31% decrease from net revenues of $2,785,000 for the first nine months of 2000. The lack of Realm brand products sales in the United States as a result of the May 1, 2000 effective date of the license agreement with Niche Marketing, accounted for a $1,532,000 reduction. License and supply revenues increased by $306,000 for the first nine months of 2001 to $1,116,000 as a result of increased licensing and supply activities. Sales in International markets increased by 95% to $755,000 as a result of the Company's efforts to open the South East region to REALM fragrances, especially the success of the Japanese market. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Markets 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Retail & Distributor Markets $ 41 $ 1,587 License and Supply Revenues 1,116 810 International Markets 755 388 ---------- -------- Net Sales $ 1,912 $ 2,785 Gross profit for the first nine months of 2001 declined 42% to $1,211,000 from $1,929,000 in 2000. The decrease is the result of reduced sales volume and one-time credits associated with the license to Niche Marketing in May 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 63% compared to 69% in 2000 reflecting the impact of the larger gross margin retail product sales (which excludes all sales and marketing expenses) versus the more profitable license and supply business. 11 Research and Development expenses for the first nine months of 2001 and 2000 were $251,000 and $241,000, respectively, and are principally comprised of payments under the Company's contract with Pherin Corporation. Selling, general and administrative expenses dropped to $921,000 in the nine months of 2001, a 56% reduction from the $2,108 reflected in the nine months of last year. All categories of spending decreased, primarily as a result of the licensing of the Company's REALM fragrance business in the New United States and abroad. The Company generated income from operations of $39,000 as compared to a loss of $420,000 in the first nine months of 2000. The Company's licensing of the Realm brand has resulted in reduced net revenues offset by savings in operating expenses that have eliminated the operating losses. The unprofitable department store sales channel has been replaced with a minimum royalty revenue source. The Company's cash balances generated $23,000 in net interest income during the first nine months of 2001, as compared to $16,000 net interest expense in 2000 due to the repayment of the credit line borrowings in April 2000 and positive cash in the first nine months of 2001. Miscellaneous expense of $4,000 was incurred in both 2001 and 2000. LIQUIDITY At September 30, 2001, the Company had no outstanding bank borrowings, and cash balances of $1,092,000, an increase of $110,000 compared to the balance of $982,000 at December 31, 2000. Working capital increased to $1,976,000 at September 30, 2001 from $1,916,000 at December 31, 2000. Assuming the Company's activities proceed as planned, the Company's cash proceeds from license revenues and anticipated revenues from product sales should be adequate to meet its working capital needs over the next twelve months. Working capital requirements will primarily be for research, product development and administrative costs. Additional working capital may be required should the Company fail to generate new products or new license revenues. Furthermore, additional working capital may be required should the Company experience a greater than planned success with its products, potential products, and research funding requirements. Funds would be needed for inventory, accounts receivable financing and staffing purposes. If the Company fails to achieve revenues from its 2001 marketing efforts, or if product development proves to be more capital intensive than planned, the Company may require additional funding. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS NO. 141, "Business Combinations." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principles Bulleting ("ABP") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 38, "Accounting for Pre-Acquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method for those business combinations is prohibited. This statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. This statement is not applicable to the Company. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No, 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early application is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after 12 March 15, 2001, provided that the first interim financial statements have not been issued previously. This statement is not applicable to the Company. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. This statement is not applicable to the Company. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement replaces SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business, and amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations. Item 3A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. All of the Company's sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and as a result the Company has little exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. The effect of an immediate 10% change in exchange rates would not have a material impact on the Company's future operating results or cash flows. 13 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
