NEW YORK, April 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ: HPOL), a leading innovative global market research firm, today announced its third quarter fiscal 2011 financial results. Excluding foreign exchange rate differences, revenue was down 9%, driven by declines in the U.K. and U.S., and bookings decreased 13% as a result of declines in the U.K., U.S., Canada and Asia. The Company's operating loss grew from $0.9 million for last year's third quarter to $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and was largely caused by the decline in revenue for the quarter.

Kimberly Till, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris Interactive, said, "While Q3 has traditionally been a weak quarter seasonally, our results were very disappointing and it is clear that we have more work to do to achieve acceptable operating performance. We are in the process of thoroughly reviewing our operations and business model to identify the changes we need to make to address this problem. To assist in this review, we engaged the services of Angrisani Turnarounds, LLC, led by Al Angrisani, who previously served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Harris Interactive and Chief Executive Officer of Greenfield Online until its 2008 sale to Microsoft. Mr. Angrisani has presented the Company with a report with specific recommendations that we are currently evaluating as part of our efforts to improve our operating profitability."
