Item 12.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

         In 1991, the Company  transferred to Pherin Corporation  ("Pherin"),  a
newly formed  California  corporation,  all of the Company's rights to its human
pheromone technology for use other than in the consumer products field, together
with $2  million  in cash,  in  exchange  for all of the stock of  Pherin.  Upon
approval by its  shareholders  at the Annual  Meeting,  held in August 1991, the
Company  distributed  to its  shareholders  all of the stock of Pherin.  Certain
stockholders   identified   under  "Principal   Stockholders"   above  are  also
stockholders of Pherin.

HPSI and Pherin are  parties to an  agreement,  pursuant  to which  Pherin  will
supply HPSI with its  reasonable  requirements  of human  pheromones and to make
available  to HPSI the basic  manufacturing  technology.  Under  the  agreement,
payments to Pherin in 1998 totaled $303,625. After January 31, 1996, rather than
supply  human  pheromones  to HPSI,  Pherin may instead  elect to provide to the
Company  all  manufacturing  technology  in  its  possession  that  it  has  not
previously  supplied  to HPSI.  . Through  1998 only small  quantities  of human
pheromones,  which could be produced in a laboratory environment,  were required
for its fragrance and ancillary products. As a result of the initial third party
supply   agreement   entered  into  in  December  1998,  the  Company   requires
significantly  more  production of the  synthesized  human  pheromones than were
needed in the  past.  In  January  1999,  HPSI and  Pherin  contracted  with two
independent  laboratories to manufacture  kilogram quantities of the synthesized
human  pheromones  under the  direction of  scientists  working on behalf of the
Company  and  Pherin.  HPSI has  received  the  initial  quantities  from  these
independent  laboratories.  The Company and Pherin have agreed to the terms of a
new research and development  agreement,  and a supply agreement effective April
1, 1999.
