Asa Lanum Innovaro’s CEO stated, "I am pleased with our continuing improvement in financial performance. We grew revenue for the First Nine Months of 2011 by 32% over the First Nine Months of 2010. We reduced our controllable expenses, which include salaries and wages, professional fees, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs for 3rd Quarter 2011 by 17% over 3rd Quarter 2010. These controllable expenses for the Nine Months of 2011 were reduced by 32% over the first Nine Months of 2010. We have seen a reduction in revenue from Strategos as they have completed some major assignments, but do see continuing opportunities in the pipeline for them. Although our sales have decreased in Technology Services, our individual sales productivity and our average sales price in Technology Services has increased. Within our PharmaLicensing Group we have seen an increase in the number of searches in process as well as those being monitored for completion. Our focus for Q4 will be to continue to execute within our Strategos and Technical Services3 businesses while simultaneously pursuing building our sales capability and customer base for LaunchPad."
